[http://urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=860480 I] am touring the city for some personal reasons, but I'll be updating the wiki with every phone tower I comes across (and that'll eventually be all of them). Just found out about y'all, but I'll have my radio tuned to 2700 in case you need to reach me. Unfortunately, I can't help the company with much more than updating the wiki right about now. I couldn't find if there's any active members of MalTel at the moment, but they're welcome to reach out me if you need me. ~ [[User:Bodici22|Gwen Harrison]] ([[User talk:Bodici22|talk]]) 01:57, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

Our phone mast is down in hollomestown
I'm alive and well! We're still always hiring! (We need a single tech for the SE) Our "centralized" leadership is more of a coordination channel than anything else. 99% of the time, MalTel techs just run their patrols silently! We're actively hiring roaming regional techs, techs willing to attach with survivor groups, as well as single-'burb techs. And we've branched out into radio... What with the satphone being out of action, Mobile service will be more important than ever! [[User:Benaldo138|Benaldo138]] ([[User talk:Benaldo138|talk]]) 14:00, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

== Company outfit ==


Hey everybody,
== 2012 Comeback ==


I was thinking about the new clothes feature, and maybe it would be nice if we had a standard issue company outfit. I was thinking about overalls, in either blue, dark blue, red, dark red, dark green, brown, dark brown and grey, and maybe pair this with a reflecting jacket (From a police station or fire department). What do you guys think about this?
hey, i am going to revive MalTel.. for this purpose i am looking for new technicians :-)
:'''we need:'''
:- a new messaging board
:- a complete revision of the MalTel-Site in this Wiki
:- a new and attractive company logo
:- more technicians
:- to kick dead airs ass!
:- deadline is begin of 2012 :P

I think it's a good idea.  Maybe Kevan could even add a special "MalTel hat" to phone mast buildings?  Whatever gets decided, I think a uniform could only help group unity. --[[User:Mordred|Mordred]]<sup>[[Malton Telephone|MalTel]]</sup> 16:29, 6 June 2007 (BST)

== Using HQ building to dispatch techs ==
==Frequency in Box doesn't match template==
I am a new MalTel employee, though I do have a lot of experience maintaining phone masts. While operating as a roaming tech, there were several times where I could have used some back up to clear or hold a mast building, but oftentimes it is difficult to get the locals to help out with the mast building when they are busy protecting malls and NTs. 
27.00 vs 27.10. Just a heads up.
--[[User:TheRegiment|TheRegiment]] 05:42, 28 November 2012 (UTC)


So, in order to facilitate communication amongst our members and sympathizers who listen to our radio freq at 27.10 I propose keeping a transmitter running full-time in [[the Sidoli Building]] in Tollyton to use to dispatch techs to areas where other techs could use some backup.  The problem with our radio frequency now is that you can never find a transmitter when you need one.  Instead, I propose that if someone needs backup they can contact my MalTel character, [http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=138770 Ramona] via phone message who will then relay the request for help out over our radio frequency.  Hopefully someone friendly will be in the area who can assist with the problem.  What do you all think? [[User:Erik|Erik]] 21:01, 5 August 2007 (BST)
*Fixed! [[User:Benaldo138|Benaldo138]] 08:23, 28 November 2012 (UTC)


'''A great idea.''' There was some confusion a while back over in Earltown after I sent a radio cast out and someone requested aid in the far NE corner. For dispatch purposes, I am confined to the South West Quadrant of the map, the burbs between New Arkham, Grigg Heights, Galbraith Hills and Buttonville. I have two alts and I try to keep them outside of the same quadrant to avoid even the appearance of zerging. I also think we should all add our profile links to this page (maybe in the active tech section?) so we can get a simple phone tree network going, although I can be hard to get ahold of via phone. I spend most of my time wandering areas where there is no signal, since obviously, that's where I need to be. Which is why I make heavy use of the Wiki to communicate.
== Retired Technicians ==


'''I also think''' we should do our best to maintain satellite communication offices, maybe one in each quadrant, since radio range is somewhat limited. I'm thinking inside the abundant factories around Necrotech buildings towards the middle of each quarter of the city. I admit there are some practical considerations that must be made: I generally travel a huge, random, rotating circuit through the SWQ (originally, I tried a hub-and-spoke style service plan...but with personnel only sporadically available that proved completely bass ackwards), and so am a given suburb for maybe only a day or two (or four...I'm looking at you, Mockridge Heights).
This is a roll of all past MalTel Employees


:I was under the impression that there is no range to radio transmissions, that they reach anywhere within the city, so I don't know if it would be beneficial to have numerous satellite offices around the city, as they could be difficult to maintain.  I do like the idea of locating our HQ in a factory however.  It would be good to have an always-powered factory to acquire generators and fuel.  Our current headquarters is just a plain office building. [[User:Erik|Erik]] 20:23, 6 August 2007 (BST)
::Withdrawn...I re-read the radio pages, and unless there are more than 50 people tuning in, we're safe. I think we're safe.--[[User:Jonathan Frey|Jonathan Frey]] 21:36, 6 August 2007 (BST)
::The recent zombah troubles might lend themselves to a complex of compartmentalized factories all within 10 or 20 AP of each other without stepping outside. That way, they can be maintained and if one transmitter goes out, dispatch is still operational (something I learned from the bad ol' days at MCDU). I recommend we communicate future HQ locations via text messaging, as well, since that seems to be the least organized way of secure communications, that is, once we've got all of the profile links up. --[[User:Jonathan Frey|Jonathan Frey]] 21:40, 6 August 2007 (BST)


'''My last idea''' is for techs to file rough flight plans on this page (again, possibly in the active tech section). I know security concerns (as well as the long staid company tradition of doing whatever the f*ck we feel like...a tradition I personally cherish) make it impractical to disclose exact coordinate locations or to plan everything to the nth degree, but I don't think anything's wrong with "I'm in this suburb today and I plan on heading in this general direction." Since we're at an extremely low personnel count, it'd be nice if we could avoid duplicating work. The tradeoff is that we'll have fewer personnel moving through the same territories, less frequent datestamp entries for the Big Board, and thus patchier intel.

==Great Suburb Group Massacre 2013==


--[[User:Jonathan Frey|Jonathan Frey]] 16:41, 6 August 2007 (BST)
I'm a volunteer helping to do some janitorial work on the suburb pages of the wiki. As part of that, we're double-checking in which suburbs each group is active. Currently, you're listed in one or more suburbs, in addition to using a radio frequency. If you would like to continue being listed, then please respond '''within the next month''' with the radio frequency you are using and a list of every suburb where you are currently active. If we don't hear back from you or we can't get the information we need, we'll be removing you from the lists, but you're welcome to re-add yourself later. If you have any questions, feel free to visit our [[The Great Suburb Group Massacre/2013|informational page]]. Thanks. {{User:RadicalWhig/sig}}10:11, 25 October 2013 (BST)
:Because your group hasn't responded within a month, your suburb and radio listings have been removed. Feel free to relist your group. {{User:Bob Moncrief/Sig}} 02:57, 27 November 2013 (UTC)


== New HQ ==


I know we've been talking IG about moving our headquarters, but we haven't been able to reach nay kind of decision since radio communication is kind of a pain. Also, I figure we need to talk more about recruitment and/or forming "contracts" with established groups to maintain the masts in some suburbs. To get some easier (and secure) communication together, does anyone think it's a good idea to set up a forum? --[[User:Cargill|Cargill]] 06:50, 23 August 2007 (BST)
==Can I be of some assistance?==
:A forum might be useful if someone wants to set one up.  At the very least, we need to add each other to our contact lists.  This is [http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=138770 my MalTel character].  It would help me a great deal to at least know where people are operating.
* My group is active in the shuttlebank/Gatcombeton/West Bouncwood/Yagoton/Quarlesbank Region so perhaps we could be listed as an ally maybe just put me down as an employee in NW-3 area [[User:Levi Romero]] 17:30, 29 October 2015 (UTC)


:As for HQ, within a week of relocating it to Galbraith Hills the Extinction blight from the NW of the city moved in the suburbThere are so few survivors left in the area that even if we are able to retake the building, it is unlikely we'll be able to hold the building for any length of timeI barely got out aliveI've been subject to 4 break-ins in four different buildings in the span of one dayI don't know what to suggest now. I will likely hold out on rebuilding or relocating HQ again until things settle downHeck, from what I can tell, at least half of our techs are zombies now. We need to focus on getting ourselves revived and recruiting new people before we start worrying about headquarters again. [[User:Erik|Erik]] 16:09, 29 August 2007 (BST)

==Districts==
 
Hey there,
 
OK, I moved most of the old Talk stuff to the [[Talk:Malton_Telephone/Archive | Archive]]. If you want something back, move it back to this page.
 
Also, I think we can work more efficiently. If everyone selected a district (Such as SE-1 or NE-3), we could cover the entire city with just 20 employees! Later on, we could even add Regional Managers for each quarter of Malton.
 
Advantages:
* Local residents will help you once they start to recognize you
* You can keep personal contact with local groups, and get them to help
* We're more spread out throughout the city, so we can keep the Mobile Phone Mast page better up to date and can respond faster to requests for help
* We would have more time per Phone Mast, so we would have time to install Radio Transmitters
 
Disadvantages:
* We would all be separated throughout the city, and would rarely meet, if at all
* We'll need to have 20 people to cover the entire city
 
What do you guys think?
 
[[User:SkullnBones|SkullnBones]] 16:44, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
 
:I like the [[district]] idea.  My only concern is that we don't have enough active techs to pull it off.  How many people can we count on to do this right?  We have 16 active techs listed.  I only have contact info for 10 of them (can someone send me Asheets' ID number?).  Maybe for the short-term we could assign a few people to each quadrant who could help each other out as needed. 
 
:It also might be helpful to know what existing groups actually do maintain their own masts, so we don't duplicate efforts.  However, looking at the mast status page, it looks like we do the vast majority of the edits.
 
:Anyone else want to weigh in? [[User:Erik|Erik]] 20:39, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
 
Sounds like a good idea to me, although every once and a while I like to be a roaming tech. Sometimes I like to hit the open road of Malton. Would I still be able to do that in this new system?--[[User:Mich Fuchs|Mich Fuchs]] 00:14, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
 
:I'm all for districting. It would definately make our job easier since we would get to know our district. That way we know which groups are maintaining there masts and we don't have to worry about doing the long  run thing. I think our illustrious leaders though should find the most secure areas and work ffrom there so that they can concentrate on keeping everyone working and cordinate any support efforts. Is there a districting mmap up any where? and we may want to consider hooking up two techs to certain trouble areas? On a side note I have an alt right now trying to restore Darkerstown, it is a ghost town again. So if anyone is looking for a challenge your welcome to come help out.

I know I know, I'm not a MalTel-guy. But since the [[ELT|Electric Light Torchestra]] maintains the power in one suburb ([[Dulston]]), I'd vote yes if I were allowed to. For the sake of simplicity, you could use the same districts as on the [[radio map]] ... I guess you already planned it that way. Please let [[ELT|us]] know, once you have a specific "manager" of the very northeast, so that we can work together. --{{User:PsychoLychee/Sig}} 12:45, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
 
: Thanks to all of you for the positive reactions, I'm glad you like the idea. Some issues:
 
* Yes, I was planning on using the existing [[districts]], they're well known and generally accepted.
* If anyone wants to be a roaming tech once in a while or all of the time, that shouldn't be a problem with me (or anyone I know of :) ). This is a game, and supposed to be fun, remember? :)
* Nurelco, who do you mean by our 'illustrious leaders'? The MalTel I know has gone without proper leadership for more than a year now. :)
* Glad our friends at the [[ELT]] like the idea! If there were more groups like you, Malton would be an easier place to power. I was planning on running the outer north-east (District NE-3) myself, since I'm in that area anyway.
 
If you want to claim a district, just add it to your name on the employee listing on the [[MalTel]] page.

Ok I've gotten my district quite secure and operateing at peak capacity, so I have extended my repair pattern a bit. I don't suppose there is anything wrong with that is there?

Ok I know I said it once, but I'll say it again, there is quite a bit of cordination going on in the foorum now days, so if you all find your way back there we may be able to organize some major drives to gain members, and cell service throughout Malton.

==Extra Phone Masts???==
 
I'm here in Paynterton, and there is an extra phone mast here! The normal phone mast (The Smither Building) has a neighbouring building (The Denning Museum) which also has a phone mast! This is also the case with The Poulet Museum in Danversbank. Do you guys know of any other buildings like this?
 
It doesn't seem like Kevan to leave bugs like that around. Or am I being a conspiracy theorist by hoping they will unlock some hidden game feature?

==Observation==
 
Has anyone besides me noticed that the only green suburbs are the ones that we have a distinct presence in? You look at the map and the entire NE is green, my little island in the South is green and the entire NW is either red or gray. Such a sad state for the NW isn't it?[http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/Mr_NoName001/Nurelco Nurelco]02:27, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 
I've been operating in District NW-1 and things there are truly as terrible as the map shows. I actually went through 3 suburbs and every single building I saw was ruined. I am currently hiding outside of the area, waiting for the Eastonwood Ferals and friends, who have created a thing they like to call, "The Ring of Death", to back off.--[[User:Mich Fuchs|Mich Fuchs]] 01:57, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 
:O come on Mich, jump in and enjoy the hell that is the "Dead North West" You  like my tag line for it? I'm hopeing it will catch on ;) My main alt. is actually trying to takke back Dakers, and let me tell you thats like trying to make it snow in hell, but I'm committed....or maybe I should be? If you need a hand let me know on my wiki talk. I am working with a little group of friends that I've kinda pulled together. Some of our allies to. The Elson phone guys. Nice group. Have you put together a plan of attack for what your going to do there yet?

Well I am actually just a Maltel employee in my spare time. Right now my main group is about to make a push into Darvall Heights, and if all goes well I should be able to swing by the phone masts of the area after we have secured a safe house.--[[User:Mich Fuchs|Mich Fuchs]] 00:02, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 
==Long Lost Phone Mast==
It seems some friendly allies of Maltel have gotten the Tower back up in Dakers. Haveing a couple techs in the NW has been recieved with wide open arms by all the folks I contacted up there. I suppose with a little effort there might be an actuall continuall service up there. Go Maltel :) [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/Mr_NoName001/Nurelco Nurelco]05:39, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 
==Greetings, delicious MalTel technicians==
I'm an alleged [[Dead Air]] member who just got revived, so I thought I'd help y'all out until I get dead again.  I've been living in NE-1, and no one's claimed it, so unless you don't want a mast-smasher like me hanging around, I'll start work there just as soon as I get enough <strike>harman</strike> human skills to be useful. -[[User:Ornithopter|Ornithopter]] 20:38, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
:Well, we could use all the techs we can get...  Are you concerned about conflicts of interests? [[User:Erik|Erik]] 16:56, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
::Not really, the conflict is pretty clear, but as long as I'm never a zombie and a survivor simultaneously, it should be fine.  Mostly, I just wanted to make sure no one else was concerned about it.  Sadly, I've been killed, so it wont be an issue for a while. -[[User:Ornithopter|Ornithopter]] 21:32, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Hey there, I was hoping your group is still active. I want to try to help the effort. I'm currently stocking up in Ackland Mall, soon to move for Strutt Towers, soon I should be able to tune into the emergency frequency. --[[User:Radaeron|Radaeron]] 1600 3rd March 2010

2019

I am touring the city for some personal reasons, but I'll be updating the wiki with every phone tower I comes across (and that'll eventually be all of them). Just found out about y'all, but I'll have my radio tuned to 2700 in case you need to reach me. Unfortunately, I can't help the company with much more than updating the wiki right about now. I couldn't find if there's any active members of MalTel at the moment, but they're welcome to reach out me if you need me. ~ Gwen Harrison (talk) 01:57, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

2018

Archived the 2017 active roaming technicians, noting only Tobeon being an actively played character/user. As there's no centralized leadership (Benaldo138 is inactive), went ahead and added Helper cretin to SE5. Currently there is no centralized leadership, A though a decentralized MalTel or whatever name for phone mast maintenance, perhaps works best in a game like UD. Sprawl. Helper cretin (talk) 01:31, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

I updated your HQ during a sweep of the entire suburb. I hope you guys are getting back together for some action! -- Jack's Inflamed Sense Of Rejection (talk) 19:01, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

I'm alive and well! We're still always hiring! (We need a single tech for the SE) Our "centralized" leadership is more of a coordination channel than anything else. 99% of the time, MalTel techs just run their patrols silently! We're actively hiring roaming regional techs, techs willing to attach with survivor groups, as well as single-'burb techs. And we've branched out into radio... What with the satphone being out of action, Mobile service will be more important than ever! Benaldo138 (talk) 14:00, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

2012 Comeback

- deadline is begin of 2012 :P

  • Still need help? I've got an alt that I plan on devoting specifically to Malton Telephone, so I wouldn't mind assisting. --Koryr T TA Y YRC 19:48, 18 July 2012 (BST)
  • Hey there maltel guys. I've got a message board i could give to this and i'm currently active in NW-4. I also have a plan for how to run the group in a more organized way.Benaldo138 22:55, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Frequency in Box doesn't match template

27.00 vs 27.10. Just a heads up. --TheRegiment 05:42, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Great Suburb Group Massacre 2013

I'm a volunteer helping to do some janitorial work on the suburb pages of the wiki. As part of that, we're double-checking in which suburbs each group is active. Currently, you're listed in one or more suburbs, in addition to using a radio frequency. If you would like to continue being listed, then please respond within the next month with the radio frequency you are using and a list of every suburb where you are currently active. If we don't hear back from you or we can't get the information we need, we'll be removing you from the lists, but you're welcome to re-add yourself later. If you have any questions, feel free to visit our informational page. Thanks. --RWSig1.png RWSig2.pngFoD PK Praise Rando!10:11, 25 October 2013 (BST)

Because your group hasn't responded within a month, your suburb and radio listings have been removed. Feel free to relist your group. Bob Moncrief EBDW! 02:57, 27 November 2013 (UTC)


Can I be of some assistance?

  • My group is active in the shuttlebank/Gatcombeton/West Bouncwood/Yagoton/Quarlesbank Region so perhaps we could be listed as an ally maybe just put me down as an employee in NW-3 area User:Levi Romero 17:30, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

You Most Certainly Can be of Assistance if you're still kicking ! --Benaldo138 (talk) 06:08, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
