Back before the dead roamed the streets, there was a pub that was the scene of much drunken revelry. One night in May 2006, when some of the more unsavory locals started acting up and tried to disturb our drinking, the Burchell Arms Regulars (B.A.R.) united together as equals and decided to work together in order to defend their beloved pub. After securing our home pub and local area, in both [[Rolt Heights|<font color="black">Rolt Heights</font>]] and [[Pescodside|<font color="black">Pescodside</font>]], we continue our good work. Back in the day the bravest (some say drunkest) and fighten'est drinker among us was a man by the name of [http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=454428 <font color="black">Jim Phil</font>] and on account of his leadership during Malton's darkest days became the first BAR Owner.
<b>A Range of Fine Ales, Bottled Beers, Quiz Night, Bar Games, Home Cooked Food</b>
<br>
A long time ago in a... <br>


Jim Phil had a good run as Owner, but eventually he retired in December 2007 and his position became shared by Co-Owners, [http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=561938 <font color="black">Tommy Monahan</font>] and [http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=556373 <font color="black">Clint Harbringer</font>], former veteran BAR Managers who were more than capable of filling the big shoes Jim had left behind. Where one legend ends, two new ones had begun... such was the way of the BAR. It wasn't until September 2008 that Clint Harbringer finally decided it was time to hang-up his six-shooters and retire from his job at the BAR, entrusting the running of the BAR to Tommy. In January 2010 Tommy Monahan had decided his legacy at the BAR was secure and it was time to retire. Replacing Tommy was another Tommy, Tommy1504 to be exact who brough about the creation of the BAR's second forum. Tommy the 2nd then passed on leadership to [http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1165810 <font color="black">Leo Leonardo III</font>] who cheerily took up the mantle. Somewhere in there, [http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=801101 <font color="black">Mr. Gomez</font>] became an owner as well.  We're not sure how that happened (we were really putting back drinks around that time).  Mainly for tax sheltering reasons, in February 2011 Mr. Gomez offered to switch positions with [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/User:Jesussante <font color="black">Jesus Sante</font>] and Sante foolishly accepted.  Mr. Gomez became a Manager, along with the newly promoted  [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/User:Tyx94 <font color="black">Tyx94</font>] and [http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1631392 <font color="black">Father O'Keefe</font>], and Sante became an Owner.  
Some time ago in Rolt Heights some people decided to band together to protect their beautiful, beautiful pub; a nirvana-esque world of baccarat, dominoes, darts, snooker, pool, fine ales, friendly banter, the occasional bar meal, and the (even more occasional) footy team.
 
<br><br>
 
The bloody marauding walking dead who'd decided to come back to unlife and try and break the mullioned windows and infiltrate the pub garden; well, they were bad enough; the villains who only sought to loot, kill, murder, pillage and steal the living pants off the denizens of the aforementioned pub-Valhalla were worse as they could actually choose to not be annoying asshats of the worst stripe.
Despite a long history of zombie attacks and drunken nights, the Regulars have always taken another step forward in providing support for their fellow survivors, proven when we formed the [[The_Burchell_Arms_Regulars/Operations#5|<font color="black">Traveling Drunk Tank (TDT)</font>]]. Comprised of those Regulars who want to help spread camaraderie to pubs in other suburbs, the whereabouts of the TDT can only be found by following the sounds of drinking and merriment that follow them as they bring portable generators, revives, and beer throughout Malton.
<br><br>
Anyway, all this being said, there once was a fabled lad named [http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=454428 <font color="black">Jim Phil</font>]; he took the hopeless chaps and lasses who would tremulously approach the bar of the Burchell Arms with their coins jingling and ask for their required half of mild, pint of vodka, quart of cold, sharp lager and he molded them into one of the most revered groups in all of Malton.
<br>
Their pub-Football team was still shite though.
<br>
Time tells us that after no small effort and many sleepless nights Jim Phil was finally able to gather his fellow drunkards into some semblance of order. As time passed, so to did Jim, and so was it that he handed over control of the Burchell Arms Regulars to [http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=561938 <font color="black">Tommy Monahan</font>] and [http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=556373 <font color="black">Clint Harbringer</font>]. And they, in turn, handed over control to more Tommies; well, in actuality just one. But that was enough. Next thing you know a lad named [http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1165810 <font color="black">Leo</font>] took over in some sort of tax scam; then [http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=801101 <font color="black">Mr. Gomez</font>], whose command was usurped by [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/User:Jesussante <font color="black">Jesus Sante</font>], before [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/User:Tyx94 <font color="black">Tyx</font>] stepped in to take charge...
<br><br>
Christ, that was difficult for all concerned. BAR members left and right were forced to abandon their trousers and give tithes of communion wine, cheap cider, and Mad Dog 20/20 to the management team; luckily Ty vanished one night and [http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1631392 <font color="black">Father O'Keefe</font>] had to take a step back to help heal his screaming liver. These days ownership of the BAR belongs to Sante, who was joined by the immensely handsome [http://urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1824113 Rockefella Plaza] and the violent mentalist, [http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1752205 Dinger] (aka Danger Lightfoot). The rest, as they say, is biology.
<br><br>
<b>In the words of Jim Phil (Founder of the BAR):</b>
<br><br>
<br><br>
 
"The Burchell Arms Regulars are a group of survivors who operate out of the Burchell Arms (imagine that) in Rolt Heights. We're dedicated to the maintenance of the pub and to providing our members with medical services and revivification. Oh, and we're not above retaliation against those who compromise the safety and security of the Burchell Arms, either. Beyond that - we're just regular guys trying to keep the power on and the beer cold.

The BAR stands for a lot of things, but ask any Regular and they'll tell you that our true objectives have always been to:
<b>Come to "Sunny" Rolt Heights. We've "Culture", "Sport", "History" and "Great Things" To "See And Do"!</b>
 
<br>
*'''Have fun!'''
The Burchell Arms Regulars love to have fun, fun, fun. We're a disparate group of heroes, heroines, purveyors of derring-do, paragons of virtue, we sport stylish leisure wear and have a long and enviable history of amiable friendliness. We even allow teetotalers into our merry band. One thing we're really keen on is that new Regulars come and enjoy their time with us; we take that very seriously...  
:As a group we try to strike a balance between actually achieving goals and having fun. Our operations are largely voluntary, and only in extreme situations are orders issued that we expect followed (for example, if a huge zombie horde decides to invade Rolt Heights, like [[Mall Tour|<font color="black">Mall Tour</font>]] or [[The Big Bash|<font color="black">The Big Bash</font>]]). Of course every Regular gets a say in what we do, but when decisive action is required the BAR looks to its leaders to call the shots. And even then, if you prefer lone wolfing it, that's completely fine. Our members can operate any way they wish, without superiors breathing down their neck.
<br><br>
 
In order to promote our pursuit of happiness, we are all very 2009 and have a Twitter presence <b>[https://twitter.com/BurchellBarkeep <font color="#FFD775">@BurchellBarkeep</font>]</b> and also a <b>[http://on.fb.me/10VxkKF <font color="#FFD775">Facebook Page</font>]</b> AND we have an easily accessible <b>[http://burchellarms.proboards.com/index.cgi <font color="#FFD775">forum</font>]</b> which we use for discussion, tactics (other varieties of breath-mints), general messing around and a burgeoning online community. We'd really like you to come and visit and forge your way in this new and terrifying online world. Or talk shite. Either or, it's no biggy.  
*'''Protect the [[The Burchell Arms|<font color="black">Burchell Arms</font>]]'''
<br><br>
:Our home, the Burchell Arms, is always in need of our protection and vigilance. To do this the BAR needs to keep the surrounding area and resource buildings safe too. The BAR also set a two drink minimum at the Burch', so be sure to drink up before you leave. On a more serious note, since the Burchell Arms is our group's headquarters, it should be noted that during a time of strife precautions will be taken. By that we mean if you happen to be a stranger to the BAR, have all the telltale signs of a zombie spy, and refuse repeated hails, you may very well end up "forcibly evicted" from the pub, if you catch our drift. Unrepentant [[PKer|<font color="black">murderers</font>]] are never welcome at the Burchell Arms.
We're also keen to protect our home, try and help our friends and any tourists to the general Rolt area and promote our messages of good-will, drunken rambling and a la mode cocktail recipes across the whole of Malton. We also get stuck in when the shizzle hits the fizzle and we'll maintain tactical resource points, revivication points and all that trash-talking jive like that.
 
<br><br>
*'''Maintain the local Revive Points'''
{| style="width:60%"
:It is our pledge to keep at our local revive points fully operational and provide 12, if not 24, hour revival services. Survivors and BAR members alike are asked to simply request a revive on our forum's [http://burchellarms.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=revivereq <font color="black">revive threads</font>], or just stand at one like a '''Mrh? Cow''' and we'll get around to you eventually. Priority is given to people who post on the right revive thread and leave their ID.  
 
:The BAR sponsors '''three''' local Revive Points:
 
::[[Otto Street|<font color="black">Otto Street</font>]] is our original revive point and been in service for years, so local doctors are well-versed in its location and it receives a lot of non-BAR support.
 
::[[Mermagen Street|<font color="black">Mermagen Street</font>]] is  located in nearby Pescodside and is also frequented by our good friends the [[Dulston Alliance|<font color="black">Dulston Alliance</font>]].
 
::Lastly, but not leastly, we patrol the nearby [[Cemetery 88,13|<font color="black">Cemetery 88,13</font>]] (Goethe Memorial East) in Rolt Heights. Just make sure you stand on the East side.
 
*'''Support Survivors in [[Rolt Heights|<font color="black">Rolt Heights</font>]] and [[Pescodside|<font color="black">Pescodside</font>]]'''
:We also extend our defenses to what we call "satellite pubs" in nearby suburbs. In order to facilitate our assistance to these locations the Regulars migrate around to wherever trouble can be found. If you think that your group or area needs our assistance just post your request on our forums and we'll see what we can do! This is now a much more important part of our group's goals as our numbers have grown so much that many members want to do more and get back into the thick of the fight, which is much harder to do these days as Rolt Heights has become mostly safe nowadays. So don't be surprised if one day soon you spot the BAR helping secure your neighborhood or fighting right alongside you.<br><br>

<br>
To be a Regular is a mark of honor. As such, we must hold ourselves to a high standard of gameplay. The following are rules that every member of the BAR must follow, and should you ever wonder if you are potentially breaking one of these rules please contact a BAR Manager or Supervisor immediately to avoid problems:
We're quite a nice group overall, and, without wishing to sound biased or overly arrogant we think we're one of the best groups in the game; especially if you enjoy banter, surreal streams of consciousness, mischief, risque jokes, fart gags and endless tales of one-upmanship. If this sort of thing sounds like it appeals to you, you might wish to investigate whether we make a good fit for each other and whether we tickle you as much as you tickle us.
 
<br><br>
*'''No Zerging'''
<b>Phew, that all sounds a little rude, doesn't it?</b>
:Zerging means using 2 or more characters who cooperate together, whether in the same group or simply benefiting through sharing information. Even though this may seem harmless, it is in fact cheating. Alts must lead separate lives from each other.
<br><br>
*'''Only <u>ONE</u> character per UD player may join the BAR'''
All you need do if you're brave enough to take the plunge, is follow us and tweet <b>[https://twitter.com/BurchellBarkeep <font color="#FFD775">@BurchellBarkeep</font>]</b> or like our <b>[http://on.fb.me/10VxkKF <font color="#FFD775">Facebook Page</font>]</b> or even, if you can't handle the social media whirl, visit the forum <b>[http://burchellarms.proboards.com/index.cgi <font color="#FFD775">forum</font>]</b> and talk to us. And if you want to become a regular then all we ask is that do this, get involved in our community, tell us you want in AND put <i>The Burchell Arms Regulars</i> in your group tags because then we become eligible for some state benefit vouchers and 20% off at the local kebab house.  
:While players may have multiple characters, only one may be a member of the BAR at any given time. If a player has alts in a group allied with the BAR then the player must keep them in separate suburbs. If the allied group ever moves into BAR territory the player must choose either to evacuate their BAR character or keep his allied group alt outside of the suburb. It's their choice, so long as they choose one or the other.
<br><br>
*'''No GKing'''
What you will find is that we are a democracy, and all decisions are made in consultation with our regulars. We find this works (and we've had political animals tell us that we're a "meritocracy", a "commune" or a "booze-addled group of idiots" in rapid succession) and; as we want to be shaped by those who sail in us, like an ocean-going yacht of such magnificence it causes Somali pirates to doff their caps to us as we motor on by; then we think it's important that every last man-jack of you put your oar in, and try and steer the Regulars out towards the horizon together; a rather mangled analogy for synergy in motion.  
:It can be hard to determine at times whether a situation makes it beneficial or deterimental to destroy a portable generator. The common rule is to never destroy a generator inside a Tactical Resource Point (TRP), as the benefits from lighting such buildings, in terms of search results or other features, always outweighs the negatives. However for non-TRPs they can, and often should, be left in the dark as darkened buildings provide greater safety for survivors seeking a place to sleep. In this case BAR members are allowed to destroy a generator.
<br><br>
*'''No PKing'''
{| style="width:60%"
:BAR members do not kill innocent survivors. Only execute PKers, GKers, PROVEN zombie spies*, and Death Cultists (who are often all of the above). Never kill a fellow BAR member or ally. If there is a problem with a BAR member or ally, bring it to the attention of a BAR Manager or Supervisor and we'll seek a diplomatic solution to the problem or resolve the situation.
*'''No Spying'''
:Joining a group/forum to gain undisclosed knowledge under false pretenses is strictly VERBOTEN. Information that another group posts in their public domain is acceptable, as they expect anyone to be able to read it, as is any information they disclose to you as a member of the BAR. In short, spying is a lame tactic used by losers. You're no loser, so don't ever do this.
*'''Conduct should remain civil'''
:While playful banter with enemies is encouraged, remember that UD is a game. Our enemies are here to have a good time, just as well as we are. They are simply fulfilling a role and without them UD wouldn't be half as fun. So be sportsmanlike in your actions. Keep any cussing to PG-13 in game and on any public forums. If another non-BAR player chooses to use vulgar language try not to stoop to their level. If the other player's offensive tactics persist, contact a BAR Manager or Supervisor for mediation.
*'''Regulars MUST have fun'''
:This is our most sacred rule. If you break this, the BAR has no place for you. We take our fun VERY seriously.
 
The punishment for infractions vary from a verbal warning to expulsion from the group, based on the frequency and severity of the infraction.

<br>[[Image:BAR Poster.jpg|right|325px]]
<br>
'''Revival Policy'''<br>
Like most right-minded groups in the game we don't hold with ZERGING, PKing, Death Cults, spying on other groups (including ours) and smashing generators in resource buildings and we, quite rightly we feel, come down <i>very heavily</i> on anyone who participates in this sort of grief-ridden nonsense through judicious use of our rightly-lauded <b><font color="#FFD775">Deadbeat List</font></b>
The BAR does not revive survivors recorded on its [[The_Burchell_Arms_Regulars/BlackList#DEADBEATS|<font color="black">Deadbeat List</font>]] or any other known [[PKing|<font color="black">criminals</font>]] (as identified by other allied group black lists), and in some cases will even terminate any such zombies found waiting for revival. Any [[Brain Rot|<font color="black">rotters</font>]] or experienced zombies (level 2+/with only zombie skills) found standing at a revive point will be terminated as they will be considered "clogs" in the revive queue. If you were killed by the BAR while awaiting revival, but are unsure why you were terminated please post your query, along with a link to your character profile, on  [http://burchellarms.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=revivereq <font color="black">our forum, here</font>].
<br><br>
 
If you get involved with being an "asshat" (lit: someone who participates in zerging, PKing, GKing, dealth-cultist activities or supporting those who seek to do any of the above) then it's quite likely you'll end up on our Deadbeat List. As an "asshat" you can expect your arse to be handed to you on a plate by our <b><font color="#FFD775">Knights Watchmen</font></b>, Regulars and anyone else who sees our Deadbeat List as being of more merit than, for example, say the <i>Rogue's Gallery</i>. This, for you, unless you're a "Griefer" and someone who enjoys destroying generators or being able to quote an RG bounty whilst player-killing a regular who, because they're not that worried about you or your Fist of Righteous Justice, can always be found in the same location; will be a bit of a grind. Well! All is not lost! You can make amends by telling us that you're sorry, and you'd like to stop being an "asshat" and then we can all enjoy the cold beer in the Burch in delightful harmony.
'''Revive Points'''<br>
<br><br>
At this time the BAR officially monitors and services three revive points:
Of course, if you're a "Griefing Asshat" this won't happen and we'll continue killing you.
:*PRIMARY: [[Otto Street|<font color="black">Otto Street</font>]] (91,16) in [[Pescodside|<font color="black">Pescodside</font>]]
<br><br>
:*SECONDARY:  [[Cemetery_88%2C13|<font color="black">Goethe Memorial Cemetery (East)</font>]] (88,13) in [[Rolt Heights|<font color="black">Rolt Heights</font>]]
{| style="width:60%"
:*TERTIARY: [[Mermagen Street|<font color="black">Mermagen Street</font>]] (94,14) in [[Pescodside|<font color="black">Pescodside</font>]]
 
'''Revival Procedure'''<br>
Survivors who are seeking revival from the BAR after dying are requested to follow these steps:
 
:<u>STEP 1</u> - Undead survivors are asked to choose and travel to an official revive point location (your choice). It should however be noted that the BAR patrols the Otto Street (or "PRIMARY") revive point the most often, followed by the cemetery (or "SECONDARY") revive point, and lastly the Mermagen Street (or "TERTIARY") revive point. Survivors seeking the fastest revive time (under normal circumstances) are asked to shuffle over to Otto Street as this doubles your chances of revival.
 
:<u>STEP 2</u> - Contact the BAR by posting on the BAR's forum. Depending on which revive point you are standing at there are different forum threads to post on:
:*Otto Street: [http://burchellarms.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=revivereq&action=display&thread=474 <font color="black">Request revive here</font>]
:*Cemetery (88,13): [http://burchellarms.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=revivereq&action=display&thread=478 <font color="black">Request revive here</font>]
:*Mermagen Street: [http://burchellarms.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=revivereq&action=display&thread=479 <font color="black">Request revive here</font>]
 
:<u>STEP 3</u> - Undead survivors should now wait until the BAR sends one of our [[The_Burchell_Arms_Regulars/Operations#3|<font color="black">team of magnificent drunks</font>]] to revive you. However, it should be noted that BAR members have a higher priority and will always be revived first.<br><br>

Look, we have to recognize that we're under assault by ravening hordes of undead (well, Rocky doesn't, but he's <i>special</i>) so we have a plan for how well barricaded our buildings are for optimum clambering in when we've been out for the kebabs, against stopping Old Mrs Liefkowitch from getting in when she's on one of her turns, against stopping a new lad or lass from getting off the streets and into an employment, training or heavy drinking opportunity. Below is our barricade plan.
 
The BAR has a radio station which we use to provide current information on our group's status while reporting from the suburbs of [[Pescodside|<font color="black">Pescodside</font>]], [[Rolt Heights|<font color="black">Rolt Heights</font>]], [[Gibsonton|<font color="black">Gibsonton</font>]] and [[Santlerville|<font color="black">Santlerville</font>]].

This radio frequency is used to share information on strategic matters, such as zombie sightings and hotspots, [[PKing|<font color="black">murderers</font>]], [[GKing|<font color="black">vandals</font>]], and similar trouble where the need reinforcements are required. The radio frequency may also be used for updating the status of local revive points. It should be mentioned that this frequency is hardly secure or private, and as such there is a fair amount of banter that takes place across the airwaves between not only BAR members, but also other survivors. Never pass along secret or vital information via radio unless it's part of an ongoing assault where a fast response time is expected. All member conversations that require security should be handled from inside the BAR's Office forum.

The Snug

A Potted History of The Burchell Arms Regulars


A Range of Fine Ales, Bottled Beers, Quiz Night, Bar Games, Home Cooked Food
A long time ago in a...

Some time ago in Rolt Heights some people decided to band together to protect their beautiful, beautiful pub; a nirvana-esque world of baccarat, dominoes, darts, snooker, pool, fine ales, friendly banter, the occasional bar meal, and the (even more occasional) footy team.

The bloody marauding walking dead who'd decided to come back to unlife and try and break the mullioned windows and infiltrate the pub garden; well, they were bad enough; the villains who only sought to loot, kill, murder, pillage and steal the living pants off the denizens of the aforementioned pub-Valhalla were worse as they could actually choose to not be annoying asshats of the worst stripe.

Anyway, all this being said, there once was a fabled lad named Jim Phil; he took the hopeless chaps and lasses who would tremulously approach the bar of the Burchell Arms with their coins jingling and ask for their required half of mild, pint of vodka, quart of cold, sharp lager and he molded them into one of the most revered groups in all of Malton.
Their pub-Football team was still shite though.
Time tells us that after no small effort and many sleepless nights Jim Phil was finally able to gather his fellow drunkards into some semblance of order. As time passed, so to did Jim, and so was it that he handed over control of the Burchell Arms Regulars to Tommy Monahan and Clint Harbringer. And they, in turn, handed over control to more Tommies; well, in actuality just one. But that was enough. Next thing you know a lad named Leo took over in some sort of tax scam; then Mr. Gomez, whose command was usurped by Jesus Sante, before Tyx stepped in to take charge...

Christ, that was difficult for all concerned. BAR members left and right were forced to abandon their trousers and give tithes of communion wine, cheap cider, and Mad Dog 20/20 to the management team; luckily Ty vanished one night and Father O'Keefe had to take a step back to help heal his screaming liver. These days ownership of the BAR belongs to Sante, who was joined by the immensely handsome Rockefella Plaza and the violent mentalist, Dinger (aka Danger Lightfoot). The rest, as they say, is biology.

In the words of Jim Phil (Founder of the BAR):

"The Burchell Arms Regulars are a group of survivors who operate out of the Burchell Arms (imagine that) in Rolt Heights. We're dedicated to the maintenance of the pub and to providing our members with medical services and revivification. Oh, and we're not above retaliation against those who compromise the safety and security of the Burchell Arms, either. Beyond that - we're just regular guys trying to keep the power on and the beer cold. If you're new to Malton and need a group to watch your back -
If you're a maxed-out veteran looking for a new safehouse -
If you're just passing through Rolt Heights and want to relax -
- the BAR is always open."

The Pub and Life in Rolt Heights and Pescodside


BARprop3.jpg

Come to "Sunny" Rolt Heights. We've "Culture", "Sport", "History" and "Great Things" To "See And Do"!
The Burchell Arms Regulars love to have fun, fun, fun. We're a disparate group of heroes, heroines, purveyors of derring-do, paragons of virtue, we sport stylish leisure wear and have a long and enviable history of amiable friendliness. We even allow teetotalers into our merry band. One thing we're really keen on is that new Regulars come and enjoy their time with us; we take that very seriously...

In order to promote our pursuit of happiness, we are all very 2009 and have a Twitter presence @BurchellBarkeep and also a Facebook Page AND we have an easily accessible forum which we use for discussion, tactics (other varieties of breath-mints), general messing around and a burgeoning online community. We'd really like you to come and visit and forge your way in this new and terrifying online world. Or talk shite. Either or, it's no biggy.

We're also keen to protect our home, try and help our friends and any tourists to the general Rolt area and promote our messages of good-will, drunken rambling and a la mode cocktail recipes across the whole of Malton. We also get stuck in when the shizzle hits the fizzle and we'll maintain tactical resource points, revivication points and all that trash-talking jive like that.

About The Regulars and How To Become One!


We're quite a nice group overall, and, without wishing to sound biased or overly arrogant we think we're one of the best groups in the game; especially if you enjoy banter, surreal streams of consciousness, mischief, risque jokes, fart gags and endless tales of one-upmanship. If this sort of thing sounds like it appeals to you, you might wish to investigate whether we make a good fit for each other and whether we tickle you as much as you tickle us.

Phew, that all sounds a little rude, doesn't it?

All you need do if you're brave enough to take the plunge, is follow us and tweet @BurchellBarkeep or like our Facebook Page or even, if you can't handle the social media whirl, visit the forum forum and talk to us. And if you want to become a regular then all we ask is that do this, get involved in our community, tell us you want in AND put The Burchell Arms Regulars in your group tags because then we become eligible for some state benefit vouchers and 20% off at the local kebab house.

What you will find is that we are a democracy, and all decisions are made in consultation with our regulars. We find this works (and we've had political animals tell us that we're a "meritocracy", a "commune" or a "booze-addled group of idiots" in rapid succession) and; as we want to be shaped by those who sail in us, like an ocean-going yacht of such magnificence it causes Somali pirates to doff their caps to us as we motor on by; then we think it's important that every last man-jack of you put your oar in, and try and steer the Regulars out towards the horizon together; a rather mangled analogy for synergy in motion.

What We Don't Like!


Like most right-minded groups in the game we don't hold with ZERGING, PKing, Death Cults, spying on other groups (including ours) and smashing generators in resource buildings and we, quite rightly we feel, come down very heavily on anyone who participates in this sort of grief-ridden nonsense through judicious use of our rightly-lauded Deadbeat List.

If you get involved with being an "asshat" (lit: someone who participates in zerging, PKing, GKing, dealth-cultist activities or supporting those who seek to do any of the above) then it's quite likely you'll end up on our Deadbeat List. As an "asshat" you can expect your arse to be handed to you on a plate by our Knights Watchmen, Regulars and anyone else who sees our Deadbeat List as being of more merit than, for example, say the Rogue's Gallery. This, for you, unless you're a "Griefer" and someone who enjoys destroying generators or being able to quote an RG bounty whilst player-killing a regular who, because they're not that worried about you or your Fist of Righteous Justice, can always be found in the same location; will be a bit of a grind. Well! All is not lost! You can make amends by telling us that you're sorry, and you'd like to stop being an "asshat" and then we can all enjoy the cold beer in the Burch in delightful harmony.

Of course, if you're a "Griefing Asshat" this won't happen and we'll continue killing you.

Man The Barry Cades! (sic)


Look, we have to recognize that we're under assault by ravening hordes of undead (well, Rocky doesn't, but he's special) so we have a plan for how well barricaded our buildings are for optimum clambering in when we've been out for the kebabs, against stopping Old Mrs Liefkowitch from getting in when she's on one of her turns, against stopping a new lad or lass from getting off the streets and into an employment, training or heavy drinking opportunity. Below is our barricade plan.

Where to chuck the beer barrels and shit

Getting The Needle From One Of Us!

One thing we pride ourselves upon is keeping survivors ticking, whether that be through our home-cooked food (the good Father's olive and chicken pizza is a must), wide range of cask ales, bottle beers, draft ciders, whiskeys, brandies and white rum or, if you're really desperate, we can make zombies whole again.

We do this via our main revivication point at Otto Street. If you get there, post a message on this thread in our forum, or Tweet or Facebook us (see above for the contact details) and have a chat with us; one of our brave group of Revive Corps will be along (generally within one working day) to shove their needle in the back of your neck.

It just might take a little longer as Zabuden insists on driving, and we all know what happened last time he got behind the wheel. We're still picking bits of Old Mrs Liefkowitch from the front bumper and the Burch-O-Wagen keeps veering off to the left.
