The Randoms are a Buttonville-based group of helpful, jovial and (dare we say) incredibly attractive survivors. While questionably effective as a tactical team, we've built a reputation of at least being tremendously entertaining to our foes.

They were formed by Cheeseman Muncher, former head of the Malton Cheese Shops Union (before it went into liquidation just before the outbreak).

History of the Randoms

Note: This History is a dramatization.

Buttonville, South West Malton. It was a cruel, harsh, unforgiving suburb. Then suddenly out of the mist to the East...ran a man carrying a bright yellow lunchbox, a golden badge gleaming in the sun. He was Cheeseman Muncher and he was here to save Buttonville from its fate.
He rallied others to his cause and built up a motley crew of sorts including a male stripper. Together with their allies, they fought back the ferals and drove them from Buttonville. There was peace...
Until one morning, early in June, a lone Randoms scout spotted multiple break ins along the North Eastern Border. Within minutes the Randoms dropped what they were doing and moved to try and keep the suburb under control. However, despite their best efforts, they were overpowered and left for dead.
Several days passed and the zombies began to move on. Out of the rubble crawled a few survivors of the onslaught. Using some fancy ass blue needles, they brought their teammates back to life and ready to fight back.
The Randoms have since grown to a force of about 70 members, united under a banner of kicking butt, having fun and stabbing a few syringe-fulls of humor into the fetid neck of south Malton.

Group Outline

Our philosophy and rules in a nutshell:

1. We are a survivor group aimed at helping others in need.

2. We are focused on keeping Urban Dead fun for everyone who plays. We don't take ourselves too seriously, and we avoid any appearance of being "trenchy."

3. We do our best to respect our enemies and friends alike. We like chatting it up with zombies and PKers, as long as they keep the hostility in-game.

4. We do not PK unless collecting bounties.

5. We do not spy in enemy forums.

6. We do not allow zergers, or known alt-abusers. Randoms can only have one character in Buttonville/Williamsville or any suburb where the group is currently active.

7. We don't combat revive (ie, revive a hostile or potentially hostile zombie instead of shooting it).

8. Pimp hat or no revive.

Now Hiring

The Randoms. Making Life taste Cheesy since April '06.

Fed up with all the serious business survivor groups that are springing up right now? Want to have a laugh instead of running around packing 20 odd shotguns and having a set of itchy army fatigues as your uniform? Then come join the Randoms! No only do we discourage trenchy behaviour, we also have an unlimited supply of free cheese! And we're also amazingly cool. Seriously, we are. And incredibly attractive too.

We accept all pro-survivor applications to the group (no PKers, griefers, etc.). Beginners are especially welcome. Several of our members started at level 1 and some of those members are now squad leaders. (In fact, some might argue that ALL of our members started at level 1.)

The Randoms have no squad structure as such, though there are a plenty religious cults, fascist sects and mad real estate gangs within the group to pledge your alliegiance to.

If you want to join go to our forums and after registering post in our join forum, including your profile link, name and location in-game.



Team quotes

  • "I saw a bunny outside the building I just finished an exam in the other day. So what was my logical reaction? Plastering myself against the glass window and pointing excitedly, while gibbering something along the lines of, 'OMG CUTE BUNBUN! WANTS TO EAT IT!!!'" - Kiali.
  • "I like you. When I take over the world, your pike will have a fabulous sea view." - Dudemeister, to Argus.
  • "dude: you get XP for punching zombies
dude: you don't get it for humans cause you can't get a half XP point
Shinosa: Yeah, but if I were a zombie, I could get more xp faster with punching.
Shinosa: Cause zombies never get into my Diaper.
dude: you can punch my manbeef if you like. " - Shinosa and dudemeister chatting on IRC.
  • Shinosa: THIS
Shinosa: IS

  • Cheese: Right. I know this is probably gonna bite me in the ass but I'm gonna revive you. You are at an RP and I'm a nice guy. However if you come and hunt me down, I'll set the whole of the Randoms on you. Anyway, you may feel a little prick and some goey stuff.
LCpl_Hicks: Hey keep it PG. Kids in the room here.
  • Shinosa: Dude, did you just say 'islandic'?
Dudemeister: You know...like, island. Ic. Maybe it isn't a real word, I dunno.
Cheeseman: Do you mean "idyllic" by any chance?
Shinosa: Icelandic?
Cheeseman: Isle of Man?
Dudemeister: No, I mean islandic. But Google claims it isn't a word sooooo...what's the adjective version of island? Islandy?
Shinosa: Nothing is "like an island" except an island. But yeah, let's keep it. Good word.

News and Events

Check out old news here

11th July-07: Operation Grumpy Gandalf is in full swing as the Randoms rise to the Challenge of the Militant Order of Barhah and attempt to retake Buckley Mall from the Hordes at its gates.

24th July-07: Again faced with the world-weary Militant Order of Barhah, The Randoms launch a public-service effort called Operation Sleepy Weasel. The goal is to help our zombie friends alleviate their grumpiness by getting more rest. Preferably out in the street.

August/September 2007: The Randoms expand into Eastern Williamsville, re-forming Echo and Foxtrot squads.

10th September-07: The Randoms have found themselves in a heated (albeit quite entertaining) battle with the Ridleybank Resistance Front, including the group's diabolical and pantsless Gore Corps. Intrepid survivors continue to warn the zombie horde of impending doom -- from the FUTURE!

17th September-07: LUE has taken Buttonville, but The Randoms pledge to keep a firm grip on their manbagz. In other news, the Gore Corps reportedly has moved on after a lengthy donnybrook enjoyed by both sides.

19th September-07: LUE moves on; Randoms continue altercations with feral hangers-on for several days with relation to manbagz ownership, but insist in their deluded claim that they "frightened off" the invasion.

29th September through 5th October-07: Delta Squad rises up to avenge some imagined slight against Dudemeister, attacking so-called "heretics" in Echo Squad, egged on by frenzied rhetoric spewed from the frothing mouth of the zealot Krae. Violence spills into most of the other squads to greater or lesser extents before uncontested victory is claimed by all sides.

17th October-07: An elite team of Randoms is rushing around the Bash-thrashed suburbs of Galbraith Hills and Cockridge Heights. They were last seen armed with hammers, FAKs and foul language.

8th November through 5th December-07: The Randoms have had an ongoing struggle with large groups of zeds in order keep Buttonville safe. After almost a month of attacks in addition to a final Blow from the Big Bash 2, the Randoms are reconstructing Buttonville.

27 January 08: After Buttonville was beaten back to its normal green self after a few days, the Randoms went to aid the DRRP in Danversbank. A few stayed behind to guard the monastaric landscape we call home.

24 February 08: Delta Cult officially secedes from The Randoms and becomes the Soviet Empire of Delta Sector.

25 February 08 - 11 July 08: Various things happen. However, we were feeling lazy and didn't bother updating the wiki. So what we did shall remain a mystery. To be honest, I don't think that we remember...either way, news shall be updated soon. I think.

12 July 08 - 2 January 09: A bunch more stuff happens. We make a resolution to make more frequent wiki updates.

(At some point in the above, Delta Cult rejoins the Randoms.)

3rd January 2009: In our first proper news thingy in about 10 months, Operation Jolly Lights 2008 is a roaring success with virtually every building in the Butt decked out in trees and lights. Merry New Yearmas from the Randoms!!
