Saved by the C Whitty - The Pro Survivor Years

I felt obligated after the recent change to how I play the game to put my thoughts on record and to give some sort of written journal covering this early period. I have actually left it a little longer than I should have done really and this has left me with quite a long initial first entry but further entries hopefully will not be so boring for the reader if there are any.

I had felt since early to mid 2009 that I was bored with pking and that this side of the game was finished in terms of further accomplishment, but I still kept my contacts and surveillance running on individuals for certain times when the buzz came back. I started a number of quests across Malton but in truth boredom began to slip in on each one, of course I oversaw the Red Shirts tactically but never physically got involved in operations. I realised that on a few occasions I had perhaps overstepped the mark in my personal behaviour, on one or two occasions excitement caused me to verbally overstep the mark with The Fortress and my protection of a certain bounty hunter whilst good willed was probably unfair on said character as it perhaps reduced an element of danger for them which they had not asked for. I do not feel the need to apologise for what I have done as I hope my future actions will underline the repent of my sins.

So I made a decision to resign as "head of The Red Shirts" and I recommended dismantling of group and of characters (they were attracting heavy resistance from locals) and if they wished they could restart under a new banner. Initially this was a success but a recent meeting with Harry Paget Flashman in Pashenton suggests they plan to rise up again (with nothing to do with me!) More to follow later on this.

I started what I coined one final quest, a quest to find a new home and a group that would take me. I made a decision after a few pit stops to enter into Pashenton and once again attack the Reapers, what grabbed me to do this I am unsure but perhaps it was one final fling, I entered conflict with Northboundsnow a very durable warrior and finally with Always Late leader of the Reapers. A few days later Always Late very kindly offered me a home with the warriors of Pashenton TROG a chance to amend my ways and to seek a new future within Urban Dead which I gratefully accepted.

Of course TROG are unable to protect me from bounty hunters - this I understand, I have a bounty and will continue to be killed by them until my bounty is zero, my crimes deserve this and after a bounty has been claimed I do try to find said bounty hunter and thank them for reducing my bounty and then explain my change and where my location will be for future bounty claims - by the way this is Rawkins PD Pashenton.

This leads me nearly to current events, the life of a pro survivor is more challenging than a pker perhaps less exciting but for me more fulfilling, I do have the skill Brain Rot and this does make life a little more difficult but I do have a very good Rot Revive centre at the James Building in the suburb to my left and they have always promptly returned me to human form, and after such an occasion I returned to Rawkins with the air filled with tension and some fear.

Rumours abounded that a large zombie horde was heading our way, scouts advised that Santlerville was in dire trouble and the Ayliffe building (neighbouring PD) was also under seige, I myself scouted lightly around neighbouring areas and indeed reports were accurate a number of buildings were in ruin to the South and East the North looked strong with a number of survivors having pulled back to move out of the front line of the next wave of attacks, I did not scout the West which in hindsight was a mistake as not knowing Raines Hills was in ruin I did not fully appreciate the gravity of the situation and I felt that the impending doom scenario was a little dramatic, Rawkins was well staffed and we were I felt capable of holding off the current mobs in the area (none numbered more than 10-15) after a trip to Ayliffe to help cades and a few injured I returned to Rawkins needing a good sleep. In the last 48 hours some had mentioned retreating to the dark buildings nearby, my master declined this naming a desire to hold the building a decision I agreed with and still do, truces were called with pkers in the local vicinity and whilst I slept the zombies struck.
