Question

Can we keep resource buildings to VSB please? the Wadham Square Police Dept is EHB --Xysterial 12:54, 19 May 2008 (BST)

I don't think that is a good idea, a single zombie could break into a building at very strongly. Extremely heavley does provide more protection in these critical buildings. --Munktharo 11:19, 26 May 2008 (BST)

Agreed, once this wave of zombies pass, we should have have the resource buildings at VSB, or even now. As Bisfan once said "In my world every building should be VSB."--Zaphord 04:38, 28 May 2008 (BST) Sorry about that!

Even after the zombie hordes have past through. Very strong can't even hold up to one zombie. It wouldn't be wise to have all resource buildings as VSB as they would be ransacked on a daily basis and not usefull to anyone. As an aside, could you please sign posts?--Munktharo 03:34, 27 May 2008 (BST)

There should at least be one of each type of resource building present at vsb though. I think it's ridiculous that non-freerunners are forced out of and denied access to the very facilities that help them to get the XP to grow. It's also a bit of a straw man to assume that vsb resource buildings will be ransacked on a daily because that ignores the presence of survivors; and even if they were to be ransacked daily, so what, survivors working together can clear and repair those buildings, and of course you can still search, and power even a ruined building. Unless there're sufficient zombies to keep all the resource buildings down (hardly what I'd call a safe suburb then) then all you do by barricading them over VSB is penalise new players for being new. - Bisfan 09:53, 27 May 2008 (BST)

To be honest, I don't think many people actually pay attention to the Policy in game (other than a few die-hards). So by changing it on here it won't actually make much differance in game. Because of this, this discussion is in danger of becoming circular.--Munktharo 07:47, 13 June 2008 (BST)

Well, as the most active players in the suburb, I think it logical for us to enforce policies best we can. However, Munktharo does have a point. We have several hundred occupants of Miltown, and I doubt we have even 50 checking the policies. --Gus Thomas^SpartaZHU 16:34, 13 June 2008 (BST)

Suburb Page Updates

• Important note: group removals*

I am working on updatting the suburb page for Miltown. My first step was to check on the "known groups" section. In my time here with the the Know Nothings I have not noticed any activity from the Miltown Rats, ODRS or The F.P.S.. I went ahead and removed Miltown Rats and ODRS from the page due to their pages have not been updatted in the past year. For both groups I left a note on their talk pages informing them of my action and asking them to refer comments to my talk page. The F.P.S. on the other hand, updatted on January 1st, 2008. I left a note on their page asking if they are still active in the area.

Next I will seek to update the Groups sections with those groups not currently on there. To speed this process up, please edit this section with your group (preferablly linked to your wiki page if you have one) below. I will start

Known Groups:

the Know Nothings--Gus Thomas 04:51, 3 April 2008 (BST)

The Coalition –Ray Vern phz ^•T 11:38, 5 April 2008 (BST)

Please leave comments here or on my talk page. If you leave them here, please let me know on my Talk Page as well so I may respond quicker. --Gus Thomas 04:51, 3 April 2008 (BST)

I removed other groups from groups section, no response at all from other groups that were listed. --Gus Thomas 19:35, 9 April 2008 (BST)

Tactical information for survivors

Again the information in this section is just duplicated by the barricade policy making either one redundant and providing no actual tactical data. If I don't hear any thing within a month or so I'll have a little play with th page to try and make it look better.--Munktharo 23:42, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Resource Buildings

What is the point of the Resource Buildings section when there is three other places on the page telling you where Key resource buildings are? (Key Resource buildings, on the side bar, the horribly un-useful barricade plan and the town map at the bottom) It is making the page look untidy. If I don't hear any thing within a month or so I'll have a little play with th page to try and make it look better.--Munktharo 23:34, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

- Are you serious? You're seriously talking about the reference list of resource buildings at the top of the suburb page, placed there as suggested by the UDWiki:Suburb Style Guide for every suburb in Malton, as untidy? The reference list that neatly states the names of most reference buildings and provides links to them? Huh? The sidebar doesn't provide links nor names them individually. Barricade plans don't always identify a resource building. Suburb maps provide too much info when you simply want a list. The Resource Building section is there for the convenience of all UD Wiki visitors. --The Masked Lurker 07:45, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

All I am saying is that there is a large amount of the same information all over the page, it’s almost like reading a piece of government info. In regards to the tidiness, just because it has been suggested doesn’t mean it looks good, I think its position is not great, maybe centre it and that might make it look better.

As you said “The side bar doesn't provide links nor names them individually” which make that section of the side bar pretty much pointless. The revive points all over the page are not updated regularly and even to a point the page contradicts itself in regards to the Fliney Building which doesn’t help people hoping for a revive.

Are you saying that if UD Wiki visitors wanted info on a page then they wouldn’t just click on the suburb link on the TOC where you can even see where the resource buildings are in relation to your current position when you look at the map?--Munktharo 22:54, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

- If the only info a visitor wanted was a listing of what resource buildings were in the suburb and how many, the Resource Building section does that job well. If someone new to the suburb looked for that information on the suburb map, that someone could easily overlook a building or two. I know I hadn't realized there was a second PD in the suburb when I first visited the place, and I was relying on the map at the time. The Resource Building section lets you cross-reference what should be found in the Suburb Map. --The Masked Lurker 11:48, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

- As for the guidelines, if you really have a problem with it, bring it up with the admins. Because they are not going to let you arbitrarily change a standardized section. The cross-referencing and redundant information are to cater the varying needs of different visitors to the suburb. Anyways, if the sidebar listed Factories, I would be happier about it. As for the inconsistent Revive Point info, that needs to be settled in game then updated accordingly in the Wiki. --The Masked Lurker 11:48, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

No point bringing it up to the Clique. Just thought I would see if anyone else had a problem with it, obviously I am the only one. In regards to settling revive point "in game" how is that supposed to happen? One person decides one the revive point on wiki and then we are supposed to find them in game? But this topic is really for another section so I'll leave it there. --Munktharo 22:22, 10 April 2008 (BST)

Revival Points

What is the point of revival points within Miltown? All they appear to do is attract zombies into one location and when a revival is not quick enough they wonder off into the suburb and try to get exps. Would it not be better to advertise revival point in another suburb or on the boarder of Miltown? At least we will not have a hundred zombies eating away the survivors in the centre of town.If I don't hear any thing within a month or so I'll have a little play with th page to try and make it look better.--Munktharo 09:11, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

- In reference to the question of deciding on a Revive Point "in-game" in another section, what I was referring to when I said "in-game" was inside the game. It doesn't really matter what the Wiki says about a Revive Point if no one is running the place inside the game. So the people who do Revivals should decide what goes where and then post that info online. That's what I mean when I said the issue should be settled in-game then subsequently in the Wiki. --The Masked Lurker 06:36, 11 April 2008 (BST)

But how do you know if a revive post has been left and is not being used, people don't really keep this page upto date with the random bit of info they stick on here.--Munktharo 11:42, 24 May 2008 (BST)

I fixed the page

I am very very bored.. I have been wandering from page to page and noticed the "transmitter-Location" box was all out of whack and overlapping and looked bad. So I make it all better. Anyone care? Nope. Oh well.. Maybe I'll put it back the way it was. J/k- bye-bye--Airborne88^T|ZC|MI|E! 02:20, 13 March 2008 (UTC) 04:53, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

- Ah, it still looks ugly. It's probably better off lower down in the page. --The Masked Lurker 13:54, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Suburb History

I suggest we move this section up to under "suburb description", you know, so we actually have one. As for actual history/backstory of our home, I went ahead and created a Miltown History page. I just started it, and have a general outline of "periods" I would like to see written, but have not posted anything yet. Please feel free to write your own entries and post on the History talk page so everyone that considers Miltown their home can contribute if they wish. Thanks --Gus Thomas^SpartaZHU 21:31, 26 June 2008 (BST)

Party Redirect

Greetings.

Yesterday I created a redirect so if one searched "Party" they ended up on the Miltown suburb page. However, some haters are out to kill the redirect. I strongly encourage any locals, regardless of breathing status, to voice their opinion.

Voting is found on this page and the original redirect is can be found here.

Thank you for your consideration and cheers!

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.
