==Eastonwood barricade plan discussion==
==Eastonwood barricade plan discussion==


QBee posted about this on the barricade plan page, but given the lack of commentary I thought it better to bring the discussion here and hopefully spark some interest, input, and brainstorming.  
''Moved to: [[Talk:Eastonwood Barricade Plan#New Barricade Plan Discussion|Talk:Eastonwood Barricade Plan]].''


Malton College of Medicine (MCM) is currently on our summer holiday field trip and will be staying several weeks in Eastonwood. We noticed that most of the barricade plan is set to EHB, and the plan has not been modified since long before the evolution of dark buildings. I believe the plan is pre-Eastonwood Ferals.

== Rearranging the page ==
 
This suburb page is quite confusing, with different types of information spread over the place. I decided to rearrange it, using [[UDWiki: Suburb Style Guide]] as a guideline. I categorized all information of this page into three types:
* '''Historical Information'''
** The '''Eastonwood Overview''' section is in fact the History section, describing the past events in the suburb. It was renamed '''Eastonwood History'''.
** The '''History''' section, while somewhat correctly named, described the suburb history in timeline format. To prevent duplicate headers, I renamed it to the more appropriate '''Timeline'''. This section can be relegated to a sub-header of the '''Eastonwood History''' section, if you like.
* '''Miscellaneous Information'''
** '''Eastonwood Tourist's Guide''' and '''Advertisements''', informative yet playful, they stay together.
* '''Map Information'''
** '''Barricade Plan''' and '''Suburb Map''', both maps stay together at the bottom of the page.
 
I hope this rearrangement makes the suburb page easier to read by putting all similar information together. It also makes this suburb page style consistent with other suburbs. If you want to discuss it with me, please write in my [[User:Kittithaj|talk page]]. -- [[User:Kittithaj|Kittithaj]] 19:17, 6 August 2009 (BST)


Relevant to the barricade plan: does anyone know if the Dukes Hotel is still a fight club? And is anyone running Club Vagg?

===== Suggested changes: =====
|g2=DELTA FORCE
MCM works a great deal with new players, many of whom do not have Free Running. We would like to open up more entry points, including having one NT open for new scientists. We suggest having the rail stations and churches (except St Chad's, the indoor RP) at VSB for safe entry. In addition, we are setting up a temporary Brain Rot Revive Clinic in Tryme NT, which we would like to change to VSB. The indoor revive point of St Chad's Church does not appear to be maintained as uncaded. We'd like to tag it as such and educate people about indoor revive points.

The problem is that there are people like me in eastonwood who want nothing more then its destruction (unless I'm a human), by making a lot of buildings VSB, you are letting yourselves be killed. of course this is only a man v. zombie view so it doesn't mean it isn't possible to hold a building that's VSB, it just means you need someone checking to see if they need to re-cade every hour or so because those damn zeds are single minded... --[[User:Kakashi on crack|Kakashi on crack]] 08:08, 22 June 2009 (BST)
|g5=Malton College of Medicine
:Keeping buildings at EHB kills more people then it saves. Not everyone has free running (more then you would realize,) and the suburb as a whole isn't too bad - there are suburbs with much more liberal barricade plans then Eastonwood, which are more dangerous. And besides, since there aren't many organized zombies in the suburb (now that the RRF has left,) it's hard to ruin a building as a lone zed - even if it's VSB (humans are tasty meat shields.) {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 08:12, 22 June 2009 (BST)
|c5=26 January 2010
::The best way to do a new barricade plan, as I've been thinking about this for awhile, would be having all non-resource buildings at VSB. All resource buildings would be EHB. I've seen a lot of low level characters get stuck outside because of the rampant over-cading in this suburb. That way low level characters have somewhere to sleep, and with organized zombie activity on the fall, it would probably be safer for them than sleeping in resource buildings. --[[User:Vilien|Vilien]] 17:00, 22 June 2009 (BST)
|d5=Confirmed
:::But then newer players won't be able to get resources. They'll likely just leave the suburb. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 22:19, 22 June 2009 (BST)
::::What resources do they need? We're talking about players who are level one and level two here. At that point they aren't going to be of much use with any resources other than a fire axe. It would take them days to purchase free running at the rate of xp gain that you get from starting with a pistol. They'd be served better by having players who can actually use the resources that they need (FAKs, syringes, and guns) get them and stay safe while doing so. Newer players are more likely to get a heal while staying in a safehouse from an older player than do it for themselves. The primary concern of a new player is staying alive, not kitting up with a full pack. --[[User:Vilien|Vilien]] 18:02, 23 June 2009 (BST)
:::::You're assuming that ''every single new player'' starts as a firefighter. That's just wrong - notice those "scientist" and "military" characters you see around? New players don't often know much about the game - hence why they don't start as a firefighter, and choose a class that needs consumable resources. Yes, new players should focus on staying alive, but that doesn't mean that they should be denied the right to resources - I'm sure you had it when you were new. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 22:31, 23 June 2009 (BST)


::::::The first time I played as a survivor, I was a scientist and got locked out of the building I spawned in, not knowing about the wiki at the time I hid in a ruined building for about 3 weeks before being killed by a new zombie that had come in while I was on vacation,if you can find an abandoned building, you're probably safe for a long time. Plus as a survivor at low levels, they only thing you are going to have in your inventory that you didn't start with are lengths of pipes, heal kits, and books basically. I sugest that we make NT, fire stations, hospitals, and police stations EHB, leave non important buildings like the random office buildings/banks and such unbaricaded so that new survivors can use them as hideouts if they can't find anywhere to hide, (and so that zombies can have a place to stay thinking they are halting contrustion) and places like librarys, clubs, and warehouses be simply VSB since they provide the most valuable resorces to new survivors. this would probably be a good idea in the long run. (and if anyone knows where a powered NT building is, could you tell me so I can get in and get a revive? maybe systematically taking them down was a bad idea in the long run...)--[[User:Kakashi on crack|Kakashi on crack]] 23:25, 23 June 2009 (BST)

This suburb page is quite confusing, with different types of information spread over the place. I decided to rearrange it, using UDWiki: Suburb Style Guide as a guideline. I categorized all information of this page into three types:

  • Historical Information

Great Suburb Group Massacre 2010

All suburb wiki pages are undergoing a clean up to remove inactive groups from the group listing (see here: this suburb's groups). If you are a group currently listed in this suburb, you will be contacted on your group's talk page within the next few days and asked to reply, indicating that you are active in this suburb. Groups that fail to reply within two weeks of being contacted will automatically be removed from the suburbs where they are listed.

We're posting here in the hopes that more groups will be aware of the clean up and can respond appropriately, since our team does not have the time nor the manpower to seek out every group in-game or track down its group members elsewhere on the wiki. If you know that some groups in your suburb do not check the wiki, please be a good neighbor and let them know that they NEED to check it for this, or else they will be unlisted in the near future.

The wiki members coordinating the cleanup will be using the table below to track their progress in communicating with the various groups. Please do not edit it if you are not involved with The Great Suburb Group Massacre 2010 team.

Great Suburb Group Massacre 2011

All suburb wiki pages are undergoing a clean up to remove inactive groups from the group listing (see here: this suburb's groups).
