Tikhon Medical is an ad-hoc group of survivors in Ruddlebank, Dartside, and Shuttlebank operating out of Tikhon General Hospital (Ruddlebank), Tikhon General Hospital (Dartside) and Fabian General Hospital . There is no leader and no set rules or guidelines, just a bunch of like-minded folks living in or near the hospitals and working to support them. You could think of M*A*S*H without Col. Potter. With zombie North Koreans. An odd sense of teamwork and cameraderie seems to be developing as the volunteers learn to work together, leading to a surprisingly effective defense, and a no-pressure non-organization. We refer to ourselves as a "gaggle" rather than a "group" because well... "group" denotes organization and planning. Not our strong suits.

A hospital patient enjoys a relaxing bath of cheesy poofs.

Purpose

Defending our Cheesy Poof supply. Tikhon Medical is also involved in healing and revivification services, operating revive points at Greenleaves Alley in Ruddlebank, Lyng Street in Dartside and Look Road in Shuttlebank. Occasionally, a medic or assault team will be dispatched to trouble spots in the vicinity. It's purely voluntary, so "dispatch" probably isn't the right word. But "dispatch" is such a cool word, I had to use it. "Dispatch". Yeah.

Besides healing, there is barricade maintenance and general tomfoolery. We actually talk and crack jokes at Tikhon, and moon passing zombies. People who duck in for safety often stay a while for the yucks. A few even join our ranks. Events also start up at random times, with no warning, like the BBQ at Cosens and even stand up jokes/comedy acts at the hospital.

Religion

The unofficial Tikhon religion is elbow-cranialism and can be found here

Tikhon West (aka, Tikhon Prime) Advantages: Most of what we need is within 1 move of the hospital - fuel, generators and medical supplies. NecroTech facilities are nearby, but not next door. Those places are creepy. Eight (8) moves straight NE is Tompson Mall for more intensive shopping. Disadvantages: It is a hospital, and therefore a target. Firearms and ammunition are not located very close, so bring an axe. Sly Place Police Department is reachable, but between travel time and search time, you may make it an overnight trip. Update: Tikhon Prime now has a Radio Transmitter installed in it!

Tikhon East Advantages: Everything we could ever want is within 3 blocks, except a Fire Station, but it's hardly any loss. There are 3 Police Departments that act as an abundant source of ammunition, 3 more Hospitals close by and there are 3 NecroTech buildings each only 3 blocks away. These buildings act as a large fortress against zombie attacks and a great base of operations. This also means that we can have a few TRPs at EHB instead of VS+2. Disadvantages: Because of all the TRPs squashed together in one area this makes it a hot spot for zombie attack. But then, that just means target practice, so even that has its upside.

Step 2) Notify us by either putting your name and profile on our talk page, by adding yourself to our member list, or posting in our forums. Step 3) Register on our forums if you haven't already. Also, it is recomended that you carry a radio set to 28.63 (our special frequency) so you can listen up on status reports when not in Tikhon. Sign Up All members are kindly requested to sign up on our forums. Just a reminder, any Tikhon staff that do not sign up, will be forced to be a subject for testing the chemicals soaked into Target Zombie's shirt. The sweat under his armpits should help to mask any chemical-like flavors. Any non-Tikhon Medical people that would like to post, or to request a revive (so we can add you to our contacts for easier tracking) are able to do so on our forums. Or if you're lazy, the use of the Tikhon Medical talk page is permitted. Spammers, idiots, illiterates and anyone without a sense of humour will be taken out back. With duct tape. Thank you for your cooperation. Have a nice day! Members We try to keep an accurate record of the hospital staff. Tikhon Medical/Member List If you're not on it, add yourself to the end, and we will put "confirmed" in your status as soon as we see you around in game. Current News August 21st 2008 - It looks as though Prime is back in operation, anchoring the rebuild effort in our immediate area. The dozen or so zombies camped on the doorstep must be in shock - Tikhoners re-gaggling has made the hospital a much more difficult target than it was with a skeleton crew. - Uncle Elbert 16:28, 21 August 2008 (BST) August 15th 2008 - Tikhon begins the process of re-gaggling at Prime, abandoning its efforts in Shuttlebank and dramatically scaling back operatons at Tikhon East, which seems to have developed a quality indigenous population in Dartside. - Uncle Elbert 21:56, 15 August 2008 (BST) July 28th 2008 - Tikhon West and many of the surrounding buildings are ruined, thanks to the Militant Order of Barhar. Those jerks! No word on Tikhon East and North; hopefully you guys are OK. - ChocoholicBec 5:38 am, 28th July 2008 (UST) North has 7 zombies swaying inside. The EF really doesn't seem to want us there, and my feelings are hurt. We need an organized response to toss them out, Fabian has been ruined for too long! - Uncle Elbert 16:24, 28 July 2008 (BST) June 6th 2008 - Cheesy Poof divination is not an exact science; it appears Red Rum and the Flat Earth Society are not responsible for the recent spate of killing. We are dealing with nightly raids from the Dead and their PK alts, the Malton Globetrotters. While the Globetrotters score points for love of snacks, their choice of Doritos over Cheesy Poofs is proof of the dangers of inbreeding. While they carry impressive amount of ammo, Tikhon scores points for reviving as fast/faster than the Globetrotters can kill, making more creative use of rolled-up newspapers, and of course, having a better snack food. Advantage: Tikhon. Take that you Dorito-loving tools! - Uncle Elbert 17:30, 6 June 2008 (BST) May 30th 2008 - Tikhon West is beginning to see problems cropping up in the form of PK activity. The culprits are tagging themselves as members of the Legion of the Octopope. Tikhoners are reminded that the Octopope and his legion are our allies - do not strike out for revenge on the basis of the group tag. Know who you are killing, and that they are the right target. Cheesy poof divination rituals indicate the culprits are Red Rum and/or the Flat Earth Society. Both have been spotted in the southwest and both are known troublemakers. In other news, Tikhon East remains kinda boring, and Tikhon North is still battling Eastonwood Ferals and others. Fabian General itself has changed hands/claws at least 4 times in the last 24 hours. It's a lot of fun in Shuttlebank right now! - Uncle Elbert 23:45, 30 May 2008 (BST) May 12th 2008 - Prime and East remain bastions of humanity, serving as major bases of operations for reclamation efforts not only for Tikhons, but for allies and neighbors. North, on the other hand, understaffed and besieged by our accursed Northern Nemesis, the Eastonwood Ferals, was destroyed over the weekend. Tikhoners who were eaten have been revived, our supplies hold strong and our smack-talk is unmatched by any "GRAAGH!" they can utter. But yeah, they're sleeping in our beds. Eating our poofs. DAMN THEM! - Uncle Elbert 23:07, 12 May 2008 (BST) May 7th 2008 - For several days, Tikhon has held its turf. Tikhon Prime reclaimed, Greenleaves Alley is being kept clear. The area is in good shape. Tikhon East, last I heard it was reclaimed. We assume revives are moving along and the area is in good shape. We've even taken and held Tikhon North, as the Eastonwood Ferals are sieging a mall (they'll be back). The northern revive points are also cleared. Tikhoners are advised to resupply as-needed, then moon the hell out of the zombies. -- Uncle Elbert 17:27, 7 May 2008 (BST) See the Archive for old Tikhon news. Tikhon West Status: Safe Tikhon East Status: Flower Safe Tikhon North Status: A smoking pile of rubble and corpses Flower Safe For when the suburb is rated green and there are no bodies and zombies in or out of the hospital. Safe When there are no significant breakins and no more than a few zombies and/or bodies in or out of the hospital. Safe... for now Only used if zombie activity isn't high but there is imminent threat nearby. (e.g. active assault on an adjacent building). Meh Used when we don't give crap about zombie activity, or when there is a small group of ferals outside. Send more ammo and nails! For when the hospital is under attack. (15 - 30 standing zeds). Typically used when zombie numbers are escalating and we need more defenders. Dammit! When the hospital is undergoing a small siege, (30 - 50 standing zeds) or when we're out of cheezy poofs. OMG!! Used when hospital staff deem everyone "slightly in trouble" meaning frequent breakins with small groups in between barricade patch ups. (50 - 70 standing zeds) Totally screwed For when there is a huge number of zombies outside and a few inside. (70 - 100, 10+ in). Barbaga zaarz! When a horrible death is likely, and/or with 100 zeds outside and more than 20 inside. A smoking pile of rubble and corpses Is the hospital ruined and devoid of life? Then this would be the proper rating. Mrh? Used in the unlikely event that the majority of our staff are dead. (Roughly 90%). Rebuilding If we recently retook a hospital and are gaining numbers. Unknown In case we have no idea what the hospital status is. This usually results from a plan that requires us to leave our home for long periods of time. Policies GKing - Generator Killers are lame. Unless you're Amish, you have no business destroying equipment, and neither do we. Unless, of course, we're trying to turn off the "FRESH EATS HERE" sign when loads of zombies are around. RKing - Radio Killers aren't lame if it stops spam. Not all radio chatter is spam, though, so really - you have to admit it's at least kind of lame. We don't do it, unless the radio is really asking for it. PKing - Killing PKers is technically PKing itself, so it's technically a grey area. Generally we don't do it, but annoy us enough and all bets are off. Basically, we don't kill anyone who wouldn't have killed us first, given the opportunity. Zerging - One player coordinating multiple characters is UBER-lame. As Tikhon has three locations, some members have characters at multiple locations so as not to miss any of the craziness. Some Tikhoners are uncomfortable with this, viewing it as a "slippery slope", but the characters don't interact and live out their own stories. We like to think of it as testament to how much fun people have in Tikhon. It should be noted that as Tikhon Medical has no leaders, there are no enforcers of these rules. Punishment is by the hospital staff, usually involving a closet, peanut butter, and our resident test subject, Target Zombie. Allies South West Alliance Tikhon Medical is a proud founding member of The SWA! Come party with us! The Legion of the Octopope The Legion of the Octopope are our stout allies to the west.

Crew Avenue Police Department Members of the CAPD have been helping us give zambahs what-for. Essential public services have to stick together! The Shadows of Hope The Shadows of Hope are currently doing whatever they do in South Blythville. Tompson Mall Security Nice hatz. The Dribbling Beavers They eat our trees, poop on our lawn and slobber on our Cheesy Poofs. But they do keep the zombies away, so they're not that bad in the end.
