Description

AquaBar.jpg

The Holmes Arms is one of three pubs in the entire suburb of Ruddlebank. Before the "Malton Incident", it was known to be a fine drinking establishment. It was founded in 1958 by Pierce Holmes, who later passed on ownership to his son, Lewis Holmes. A few years before, the pub suffered an arson attack from the gangs that ravaged Ruddlebank (see Ruddlebank's front page). The Holmes Arms was shut down for heavy renovation, before being reopened again in early 2004. The pub's new owners worked closely with the local Police Departments to the East to prevent any future crimes to the establishment. When the quarantine fell, the Holmes Arms was looted, but was and still is used as a survivor Safehouse.


On February 27th 2009, the Umbrella Corporation's own Whiskey Platoon met together at the Holmes Arms and decided to claim it as their operational headquarters. They also consider the pub to be their 'home away from home'. And at the very least, it's where passing survivors can usually find more than a few members of Whiskey relaxing after a hard day's work hunting zombies.

The bar of the Holmes Arms is fully stocked with ice-cold beer.



Barricade Policy

This building serves not just as the traditional headquarters of Whiskey Platoon, but also as an Entry Point for the nearby Suter Boulevard Police Department and should therefore, always remain Very Strongly (VS+2) barricaded.

If the building is ever under attack from five or more zombies, only then are survivors granted permission to barricade beyond Very Strongly, but only until the threat has passed. Survivors are warned that all members of Whiskey Platoon who find the barricades raised higher than Very Strongly have the right to lower them if there is no immediate threat to the building at that time.

Survivors are always reminded there is no reason for over-barricading to keep other survivor out because there's more than enough beer for everyone.

History

February 27, 2009: The Umbrella Corporation's, Whiskey Platoon has taken control of the building and claimed it as their new base of operations.
