*The Clan in UD is no longer working. The numbers have dropped down to almost zero and those still in the city have gone independent. 3 years this group worked - and the last months weren't pleasant. | |||

*Yesterday, the leading figures in the Clan were unusually busy, but not with run-of-the-mill chores. Oh no, yesterday our work was posting party invitations all over Havercroft & some of the rest of our domain. Yes, if you've already worked it out, yesterday was the Clan's 3rd birthday. 3 long years, the Clan has been working away in Malton, helping to rid the town of its plague, the zombies. But it's not all work - as mentioned earlier, yesterday we had a grand old party held in Club Wistow, Havercroft, to celebrate the anniversary. Unfortunately, the invitations were sent out rather late, with members of the Clan circulating the area spreading the word, using radios, graffiti & anything else that came to hand, on the very day of the party. Still, noone was too tired to enjoy the celebrations & despite the disappointing turn-out, a good time was had by all. All that can remember it, anyway. And through the chaos & the club atmosphere, a lesson was learnt - always send out your invitations well before time. Next year, we'll remember this & send them out days in advance, but we'd better book a bigger club! --[[User:Jsrbrunty|Jsrbrunty]] 22:51, 5 April 2010 (BST) | |||

*Before anything else we must, belatedly, welcome Cyadora as our UD Commander (Waak has now taken on the role of overall forum leader). She was a popular choice. Foxtrot have recently completed a mission in the great North-East of Malton. It was a good deal of fun & success, as we followed in the MOB's wake, giving the locals handouts of food and shelter. We left the mission, leaving behind us an area of glowing prosperity. Returning to Havercroft, we found a dismal welcome awaiting us - a dozen or so zombies swaying in our Mall. Painstakingly, we gained ground, eventually securing it. Things are hanging in the balance, but what is good and right will emerge victorious. --[[User:Jsrbrunty|Jsrbrunty]] 19:32, 23 February 2010 (UTC) | |||

*Foxtrot are now in the last few days of the afore-mentioned mission, known as Operation Talpidus Ridge, and information is now being released. It was to Molebank and the objectives were to repair & cade as many buildings as possible, leave the RP empty and generally aid the previously struggling locals. The mission has been very successful, with all the aims well within our range. Our new recruits also enjoyed their first official operation and have gained much useful experience in the process. | |||
ErrorMaker still rules the Clan wisely, overcoming the hurdles placed in his path (don't tell him it was us who were trying to trip him up). Only very few days ago, there was an appalling spate of vandalism on the forums, in which an Admin's account was used to delete much of the forum and ban several members. It is not yet clear whether it was the Admin himself or whether someone else got access to his account. The incident is being investigated, however, and we hope to come to a satisfactory conclusion very soon. The forum has been repaired and the unpleasant event even managed to attract us some more publicity, leading to more members joining us - an eventuality I'm sure the said vandal hadn't anticipated! Anyway, it is time to sign off again, and remember please, if you're looking for a home away from home, where all is peaceful, calm and quiet... Don't come to us! Thanks and goodbye. --[[User:Jsrbrunty|Jsrbrunty]] 22:44, 10 October 2009 (BST) | |||

*As Hyena resigns his successful post as commander, ErrorMaker is elected unanimously by the Leadership Team, who, due to the amount of unfinished leadership terms and elections recently, decided to vote only within the Team itself this time so as not to unsettle things again. May his reign be long and triumphant, may he not make any errors, and above all, may his famous harassment from the Typo Devil cease. Ackland Mall's resident groaning devils seem to be sleeping at present (please don't make any loud noises in the area) and the world-renowned shopping centre is safely barricaded and lit up. Foxtrot are currently resting there temporarily before setting out on another dangerous mission into unsettled territory. Information about the upcoming mission is guarded jealously, but sources say that it is likely to be towards one of the now few red suburbs on the map. Good luck to all involved, and please remember to be very quiet on the way out, as we don't want to wake the dead from their current slumber. --[[User:Jsrbrunty|Jsrbrunty]] 22:56, 19 September 2009 (BST) | |||
'''August 14th, '09''' | |||
*So far, Hyena has done a good job as deputy commander, in OJF's prolonged absence. He has just begun a new campaign to promote increased activity on the forum, and is also making several fundamental changes to the forum and the way the Clan works. The changes that affect the UD side of things are as follows: | |||
:*Foxtrot & Novo are being merged. The feeling is that the 2 squads can work much more effectively as 1 unit than separately, and so this is how they will work, in the future. The resulting squad (the 2 former squads merged)'s name has not been decided yet. | |||
:*The squad will need to be active. We've had a rule stating this before now, but now we intend to strictly inforce it. | |||
:*The Militia will be closed to recruitment, and so you must be in the Marines (Foxtrot) or you may not join our group. This is due to a problem we've found, in that new members default to militia membership and because they then have less reason to check the forum regularly, we never hear of them again! We call it the 'black hole effect'. | |||
Anyway, that's more or less it for now. Good luck and happy hunting! --[[User:Jsrbrunty|Jsrbrunty]] 20:00, 14 August 2009 (BST) | |||
'''August 7th, '09''' | |||
*Unfortunately, OJF's term as commander has not gotten off to a good start. Of all the times his internet could have chosen to stop working, it has chosen now. We do not blame OJF for this, and hope he will be back with us very soon, but have been forced to appoint a temporary commander for the duration of his absense. [[user:Father_Alexander|Hyena]] has been elected by the leadership team to take up the mantle - until OJF's net decides to work on a regular basis. The Clan's squads Foxtrot & Novo have recently been off on a mission called "Operation Colt Trooper", which started in Tollyton and moved on as Tollyton became safe. | |||
'''July 22nd, '09''' | |||
*Due to reasons in his real life, Commander [[user:Legend812|Legend]] has decided that it is necessary for him to step down from his newly-acquired post. Unfortunately, he feels he can no longer contribute a sufficient amount of time to the Clan to benefit the Clan. [[user:OJF|OJF]] has been promoted in his place. --[[User:Jsrbrunty|Jsrbrunty]] 16:19, 22 July 2009 (BST) | |||
'''July 12th, '09''' | |||
*Legend has now appointed a commander for each game (as we have now started playing other games as a group), and [[user:Jsrbrunty|Jsrbrunty]] is now the UD commander. We have decided to let what will happen to Ackland happen for the moment, and we have set off across Malton to look for more action and excitement. Foxtrot and Novo are currently in the process of making a formerly red suburb liveable again, and are not wasting any time! In this type of environment, metagaming and so-called X:00 tactics are particularly important and the Clan has risen to the occasion. Clan numbers currently stand at about 20. --[[User:Jsrbrunty|Jsrbrunty]] 16:26, 12 July 2009 (BST) | |||
'''June 25th, '09''' | |||
*And yet another session of commander elections at the Crimson Clan is over. After a couple of rather unpleasant claims of cheating, Legend812 emerged with the title of clan commander, and has not hesitated since. He has decided to put the spotlight on recruitment, and has already brought many new people to our forums, to visit or to join. Either way, the forum is looking decidedly healthier than it was a week or so back. Keep up the good work, Legend! In other news, Ackland is undergoing bad times as zeds come knocking on the doors. --[[User:Jsrbrunty|Jsrbrunty]] 22:30, 25 June 2009 (BST) | |||
'''June 13th, '09''' | |||
*Clan commander elections are underway again. Nominations time is nearly finished, and voting should be starting soon. Ackland has been under attack, but has borne it all in good grace, with the help of many brave survivors. --[[User:Jsrbrunty|Jsrbrunty]] 16:26, 13 June 2009 (BST) | |||
'''May 1st, '09''' | |||
*Foxtrot LT, [[user:Deus257|Deus257]], has recently resigned his post, to be taken by [[user:Jsrbrunty|Jsrbrunty]]. Foxtrot and Novo are currently away from home, and have been helping the DHPD reclaim their homeland in Dunell Hills. The campaign has been a complete success, and we'll soon be moving on. Back home, the Militia report that all is well, and Ackland appears to be secure for the moment. --[[User:Jsrbrunty|Jsrbrunty]] 20:15, 1 May 2009 (BST) | |||
'''March 17th '09''' | |||
*The Clan is now focusing on three MMORPGs - one of them still being Urban Dead. On behalf of UD, The Clan relinquished Boot Camp unit and Commander [[user:Waak|Waak]] merged Alpha and Delta units due to low members in both units. The LT of the new unit - called "Foxtrot XIII" (FXIII) - is the former Alpha LT [[user:Deus257|Deus257]], as Delta LT [[user:Jimbo3|Jimbo3]] resigned from his position earlier today. Ackland Mall is still holding and the zombie numbers haven't risen but break-ins are still common. --[[User:Waak|Waak]] 17:32, 17 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
'''March 15th, '09''' | |||
*The elections have closed and the results are clear - after two years of service in The Crimson Clan [[user:Waak|Waak]] is now the Commander of the Clan for the next three months. Situation in Ackland is not getting better as now over 50 [[zombies]] are knocking on the doors and asking for brains.--[[User:Waak|Waak]] 00:06, 15 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
'''March 10th, '09''' | |||
*Nominations have been collected, and the following people were nominated: [[user:Waak|Waak]], [[user:Deus257|Deus257]] and [[user:Jimbo3|Jimbo3]]. Unfortunately, Jimbo did not wish to stand in the elections, so it's down to Deus & Waak. The elections are well underway, and Waak appears to have taken a significant lead, but there is time yet for Deus to strike back. Best of luck to both of you! Clannies are currently at home, defending Ackland from a patient group of zombies, who wait (in vain, may I add) for our guard to drop. We hope to bore these rotten-brained personnel to death (or to some other mall elsewhere), and if this tactic fails then we may need to resort to the good old-fashioned shottie. Never been known to fail. --[[User:Jsrbrunty|Jsrbrunty]] 21:59, 10 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
'''February 27th, '09''' | |||
*I (Jsrbrunty) have been commander now for about 2 weeks, and my term is coming to an end (remember, I was only finishing off Father_Alexander's term). On March 1st, election nominations start so if you think X would be a good commander, then don't forget to nominate him/her. At the moment, the Clan is in Ridleybank on a mission to recapture the suburb. We are doing very well, even if I do say so myself! There are few ruined buildings now in the area we're working on (the area around Blackmore), & we have rejoiced recently, as we captured Blackmore itself a couple of days ago and have so far held it. The RRF are, of course, mounting outside, but we hope to keep them outside for some time yet. Ackland is ruined at the moment, after yet another succession of sieges, so this trip to Ridleybank is a welcome break for many of us. Our group numbers are around the mid-30s at the moment. --[[User:Jsrbrunty|Jsrbrunty]] 22:23, 27 February 2009 (UTC) | |||
'''February 17th, '09''' | |||
*Our new forums are here: www.z8.invisionfree.com/thecrimsonclan. I am now commander, for the moment anyway, following Father Alexander's resignation. I aim to bring everything back under control & calm everyone down. Our current membership stats are at about 40 members, a high of several months; however Ackland Mall has just fallen again, and we've retreated to a more secure suburb, shortly to go on a li'l break to assist some allies. Good luck, fellow Clannies! --[[User:Jsrbrunty|Jsrbrunty]] 16:01, 17 February 2009 (UTC) | |||
'''Febuary 14th, '09''' | |||
*Following the schism caused by St Aden's attempted coup, the clan is now rebuilding, with membeship higher than it's been for several months. We hope that all the controversy is behind us now, and that we can carry on our pro-survival work. [[User:LK Oddjob|LK Oddjob]] 20:50, 14 February 2009 (UTC) | |||
*Why does a forgotten traveller return and find his home destroyed his clan divided and arguing? WHY? --[[User:Alex1guy|Alex1guy]] 10:39, 14 Febuary 2009 (UTC) | |||
'''January 26th, '09''' | |||
*The Clan is currently doing a tour of its domain, particularly the outer suburbs which we haven't visited in some time. For instance, Ketchelbank. In other news, nothing much thrilling going on. Ackland is still ruined, but the zeds are gradually going away. Once the tour of our territory has finished, the Clan hopes to retake it with minimum fuss, and hopefully hold it for a while. A few weeks ago, treasured Boot Camp Lieutenant, Jsrbrunty, stood down. The Clan had a day of national mourning. Well, not quite. lol I'm now chilling with Alpha (Home Guard). Clan numbers are presently rather up-and-down, generally between 30 and 40. A steady trickle of recruits are coming in, but not a huge number. Ex-Commander St Aden has also returned to the game, and is serving in Alpha. I'm sure everyone is very glad to see him back. --[[User:Jsrbrunty|Jsrbrunty]] 17:39, 26 January 2009 (UTC) | |||
'''January 5th, '09''' | |||
*Father_Alexander won the elections, and is now seated comfortably in the throne. His leadership so far has been very satisfactory, and Clan numbers are gone up rather than down, and he has come up with several new, interesting ideas. Ackland Mall is currently ruined, as of yesterday, but we hope to retake it in the near future. --[[User:Jsrbrunty|Jsrbrunty]] 21:56, 5 January 2009 (UTC) | |||
'''December 4th, '08''' | |||
*The voting for the next Commander is underway, with 3 very worthy candidates. Nomination time ended on the 31st of last month and voting started early on the 1st of December. If we feel that most people have voted by the 7th, then the vote will close then. If not, it will continue until the 14th, when Oddjob hands over his power to his successor. So far, [[user:Father_Alexander|Father_Alexander]] is in the lead, but [[user:Jimbo2|Jimbo3]] is rapidly working to close the gap, while [[user:Waak|Waak]] is in a very honourable third place. But it is not over yet. Anything could happen yet. Meanwhile, Ackland Mall has been recovered and is now secure in survivor hands. And a slight change has come about in the Clan: the 2 Deltas (Delta 1 and Delta 2) have been merged into one larger squad, christened very originally as ''Delta''. [[user:Jimbo3|Jimbo3]] is LT of this squad, while [[user:Waak|Waak]] has taken the formerly vacant post of Intelligence Advisor. While all this could change yet again after the elections, we wish both Jimbo and Waak well in their new posts. --[[User:Jsrbrunty|Jsrbrunty]] 18:52, 4 December 2008 (UTC) | |||
'''November 27th, '08''' | |||
*The Bounty Hunter competition is now over, with [[user:Jimbo3|Jimbo3]] emerging victorious. He has now well earnt the title of "Crimson Assassin". Having returned to Havercroft, we are in the process of securing Ackland Mall but surprisingly, the zombies are not being very supportive. We hope to be safe and cosy in our HQ within days. On another matter, [[user:LK Oddjob|Oddjob]]'s term in leadership is drawing to a close and nominations are currently being recieved for the next Commander. Just message Father_Alexander with your nomination, but hurry up - only 3 days left! The new leader will be handed the reins on December 14th, after a fortnight's voting. Good luck to all the nominees, and may the best man win! --[[User:Jsrbrunty|Jsrbrunty]] 22:53, 27 November 2008 (UTC) | |||
'''November 15th, '08''' | |||
*The Crimson Clan have moved down to Marven Mall, South Blythville, in order to find some more fertile grounds over which to hold our annual Bounty Hunter competition, as our own Mall is currently in zombie hands. We hope to harass the local PKers over the next few weeks, hopefully having fun in the process. [[User:LK Oddjob|LK Oddjob]] 20:13, 15 November 2008 (UTC) | |||
'''October 17th, '08''' | |||
*Oddjob has now quite settled in as our Commander and is full of new ideas and suggestions for improving the Clan's future. He values us, as Clan members and also takes everyone's opinions into account, providing a well-balanced, fair UD life. Since the last 'News' article, various changes have taken place regarding the Leadership Team. These include W J Higgins standing down from the position of Alpha (Home Guard) Ltn, being replaced by Loco, a fresh-faced leader, keen to cut his teeth. He has been a total success so far, and we wish him much luck in continuing his good work. Ackland Mall has recently been ruined, having been sieged by Feral Undead for approximately a month, and finished off by the visiting RRF. We hope to retake our HQ in the near future. Current Clan numbers show up on the Stats as about 62, up from last month. --[[User:Jsrbrunty|Jsrbrunty]] 22:28, 17 October 2008 (BST) | |||

*Oddjob is now Commander of the Clan, and settling down nicely. He has served in the Clan for over a year and has worked as head of a marine squad for about 8 months. A truly dedicated Clannie. The only sort who could possibly be leader of a large and successful group such as ours. Ackland Mall is currently in survivor control though under a siege of sorts, with approximately 30 zombies standing outside. --[[User:Jsrbrunty|Jsrbrunty]] 22:55, 20 September 2008 (BST) | *Oddjob is now Commander of the Clan, and settling down nicely.
