Roftwood Wiki Page Header 10: Barricade Plan

The map layout in the Roftwood wiki barricade plan could use an update. It should list 'RP' at Swansborough Park and Turpin Road. I believe those should be the only two revive points in Roftwood because of easy access from the adjacent Necrotech buildings and they are the most actively attended. Where could I go to start a discussion about this? Thanks! --ZombGG (talk) 23:04, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

From the looks of it, there aren't any active scientist groups in the business of maintaining RPs. So in lieu of such a group, maybe you'd want to ask Bob Moncrief or Stelar on their talk page. You probably won't get any attention on this page from the looks of things. I wish you the best of luck. Dummy991 (talk) 23:55, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for your help and guidance! O will contact Bob Moncrief and see where this goes! --ZombGG (talk) 01:27, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

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). 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 with a list of suburbs in which you are active. 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 2011 team.

Updating Roftwood's radio transmitting buildings?

To increase the accessibility of communication for the survivors in Roftwood should the buildings that house radio transmitters be marked on the suburb map? And be updated like mobile phone mast and revive points etc as well as a subheading describing which buildings have transmitters in them as well as the level at which they should be barricaded. --Tess Eks (talk) 18:36, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

Not sure how much demand there is for such an endeavor, but I'm sure as a project for Roftwood it may certainly be possible to maintain a rather accurate list of radio transmitter locations. You might want to get some direction from the sysops or some other senior member of the wiki if you want to proceed with your plan. Happy editing and good luck!

If you'd like to keep a separate list of radio transmitter locations, that's all good, but as they're not permanent fixtures (destroyable by zombies/RKers) they don't belong on the suburb map. I'd say your best bet is to update a given building's DangerReport and mention if there's a radio in the building. Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 13:42, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

July 2018

Hildebrand Mall and the local resource buildings have come under sustained attack by zombie forces. The mall, Herbert NT and several other buildings have been sacked by the Ridleybank Resistance Front's Gore Corps. --LordMoloch (talk) 01:27, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

Sacked my ass. We will be back shortly. If you didn't use the Gore Corps as a front line offense you would have never cracked us. Keep the news section for broadcasts from the helicopter and put your garbage on the talk page! Benigno ^{SSZ RCC}

Man, it must suck to be attacked by zombies in your beer sipping chat game.-- LABIA on the INTERNET ^{Dunell Hills Corpseman} #24 - |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| ^TMG 02:16, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

Cut out the trash talk Benigno. It makes you look like a dork, not some cool guy. This is a browser game, not you being a Hard Man Who Does Hard Things.

...Nerd. Rememberwhenpeopleplayedthis (talk) 02:29, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

Maybe try attacking with zombies and use PKers for a last resort? Instead of being the first thing you do? Whatever happened to AU10? The GMT Breakfast club? RRF used to play with honor...Benigno ^{SSZ RCC}

PKing is a legitimate tactic and has been for 13 years you whiny nerd. Rememberwhenpeopleplayedthis (talk) 10:46, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

lol Benigno. -- LABIA on the INTERNET ^{Dunell Hills Corpseman} #24 - |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| ^TMG 10:56, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

Are you serious right now? I'm not hurting at all. It was just the Gore Corps, not REAL zombies. And like I said we'll be right back, no worries Benigno ^{SSZ RCC}

Thou dost protest too much Rememberwhenpeopleplayedthis (talk) 11:13, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

Benigno, I'm going to explain this to you: Your position is an absolute nonsense. My post on the Roftwood page was entirely in keeping with the tone required, as well as being of a far more neutral point of view than some other entries with which you mysteriously have no problem. Let's take as a comparative example one of ZombGG's entries:

"The Northwest corner of Hildebrand Mall is presently under attack by a mob of 16 zombies. Intel gathered by the Roftwood Coordination Center concludes the mob is mostly feral, with a light mix of Ridleybank Resistance Front and The Scourge."

The above is perfectly fine. The tone is more or less exactly that which I have employed and he has noted the work of RCC, an organisation in which he is an active member, in the same way that I noted the involvement of the RRF and Gore Corps in mine. I'm sure there were other zombies in there, but as I didn't have the contact listed, I couldn't pick them out to credit any groups that they might be a part of. In short, I would not change ZombGG's post. Let's now though see what you posted on the main page, just to outline both why I removed it to this talk page (and was correct in doing so), as well as demonstrating just how poor your understanding of the wiki actually is:

"Sacked my ass. We will be back shortly. If you didn't use the Gore Corps as a front line offense you would have never cracked us. Keep the news section for broadcasts from the helicopter and put your garbage on the talk page!"

The page is intended for news and there is a template right at the top of it declaring that it should be kept neutral. Your post there above is not only not neutral, it's not in any way news. It's a combination of willy-waving braggadocio and petulant whining about having been smashed. Unlike my post and that of ZombGG above from the survivor side, it has no place on that page. Thus I moved it here (PS: The Gore Corps was created twelve years ago. Demonstrate a little emotional maturity and come to terms with things that happened over a decade ago).

Now I want to get on to a couple of other posts from the Roftwood page, with which you apparently have no issue:

"With Roftwood seemingly being attacked from both sides a great deal of the live population have found refuge in Hildebrand Mall because of it's high cades and resources... they know that they cannot allow it to fall they depend on it for food, shelter basic requirements as well as power.

Also today the Blackmore Bastard Brigade made their appearance on the Central Malton Radio statementing their intentions of pushing back the Ridleybank Resistance Front, which could give us some leeway here in Roftwood.

Catch you on Central Radio"

"Hildebrand Mall's north east and south west have been broken into and the doors have been ripped off, two zeds inside and much more outside. It seems they attacked from both sides as they have been reported in the masses outside Eligius General Hospital as well making me think that it will be there next building to fall in their conquest in Roftwood. Good luck survivors and allow strength of the gods be with you. Hildebrand Mall cannot fall!"

These are both from January of this year. The first example, by Tess Elks is questionable. She holds it together pretty well at the start, but then strays when she gets into psychological 'analysis' of the mental state and motivations of the survivors involved. This is a minor case on non-NPOV. However, then she completely blows it when she says "...Give US some leeway here. Catch you on Central Radio." Indisputably non-NPOV and should have been edited. The second example though is more egregious and, in being so, probably more in keeping with what you would prefer to see. It's an absolutely ridiculous, non-NPOV call to arms. It was also unsigned. As such, it should have been deleted outright.

So, my question to you, Benigno, is this: If you are such a wiki zealot, why did you do nothing about any of the above? It is, of course, a rhetorical question. Everyone knows exactly why you did it. It's because you're a classic trenchcoater, bitterly whining about having lost a fight. It's juvenile and more than a little pathetic. Your subsequent edits are entirely in bad faith and, in wiki terms, could be construed as vandalism. If you don't know how the wiki is supposed to work, leave it to people who do. ZombGG is a part of the RCC, same as you are. Leave it to him and you'll hopefully make far less of a fool of yourself in future. --LordMoloch (talk) 13:06, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
