September 28^th

At least 6 zombies on the streets. Breakdown of the Tactical Resource Points:

• 2 Police depts: 1 powered, 1 not (Samborne is out of fuel)
• 2 hospitals: 1 powered, 1 not.
• 1 factory: powered.
• 1 auto repair: powered.

Zombie numbers are low, and whilst they are grouped and assaulting a TRP, there is little indication of success or lasting impact. Safe. --Funt Solo ^QT 02:30, 28 September 2008 (BST)

August 19^th

Wykewood has suffered heavy zombie attacks, nearly all buildings have been broken into and ravaged. Not safe to go on streets...large zombie groups of ninety to one hundred sighted... no signs of life at all, they seem to have looted all buildings and moved on to a safe suburb. I suggest not going here unless you are in a large group. 23:11 19 August 2008 (BST)

After ruining much of South Blythville, zombies from the Militant Order of Barhah were briefly seen crossing the southeastern tip of the suburb, headed into Ruddlebank, where attacks have already started against police stations and NTs in that area. --FLZombie 03:40, 23 July 2008 (BST)

Most (as far as I can see) of this surbub is pretty safe. The only problem would probably be the ruined buildings. I reccomend that this suburb be lowered to a dark orange, or even a yellow.--Pistolieer 22:24, 28 April 2008 (BST)

April 17^th

That lasted about two days. The north and eastern halves looks pretty chewed up. About 5-6 zombies per block with more seeping in. The barricade levels on survivor areas are also overly high.Pakopako 15:41, 17 April 2008 (BST)

I'm in Wykewood right now, and I haven't seen one ruined building yet, (Not counting the one I repaired) The Josephine and Adalbert Hospitals are lit and caded, as well as several other buildings. I don't think it's a ghost town anymore, more like moderate or so. --Bldude

March 10^th

Scouted the rest of the burb. There are easily over a hundred zombies in Wykewood, including a few moderate (i.e. a dozen or so) mobs at some of the TRPs -- and that's only what I saw on the streets. All but a tiny handful of non-dsescripts have any barricades at all. The rest are Ruined. This is most certainly a "Very Dangerous" suburb. --WanYao 04:27, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

March 9^th

I scouted the northern flank of Wykewood and found only two barricaded buildings -- both non-descripts. Everything else is Ruined. Zombie numbers were minimal, though. Further exploration will be needed, but frankly I consider the suburb's current "Moderate" status to be a little dubious... From what I've seen, I'm thinking potential "Ghost Town". Will report in again when and if I have more information. --WanYao 14:44, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Until then I'll label it as ghost town. I'm going across the suburb map fine-tuning the danger levels according to recent news reports on the wiki. The man 22:29, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

March 3^rd

Josephine Hospital ruined with 6 zeds inside (and probably insane). Adalbert Hospital under siege, 9 zeds outside, building heavily barricaded and lighted. --niedowidek 20:00, 03 March 2008 (UTC)

Due to reports of break-ins, I've upgraded Wykewood to moderate. --Kingofallpie 00:26, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

February

February 23^rd

Mobs of up to 12 zeds sighted outside Aldabert General, most likely breached by now. Surrounding areas are safe and show no hostile activities. --Kira Yamato 17:34, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

February 1^st

I saw three zombies down by the South West side. Lights are on in the 2 hopitals, Josephine General Hospital and Adalbert General Hospital, no zombies outside. Samborne Walk Police Department is EHB, but no ligths. This suburb is beinning updated to safe. Off to Nixbank!!--ChiaPet 21:10, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

January

January 31^st

I have explored about 7/10's of the suburb and most of it is really doing well. Not many survivors here, but also not many zombies here as well. I saw 1 zimbie each at the Norvell Library and the Line Library. I have not gone down to the South West side of Wykewood, but so far it looks really good. I will explore the rest of the suburb tommorow. --ChiaPet 21:33, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

January 23^rd

Another small zombie group is attacking Samborne Walk Police Department. Zeds inside and outnumbering survivors. Doors wide open.

January 22^nd

Zombie attacking force has split and is attacking Adalbert General Hospital and Josephine General Hospital. Reinforcments are needed for human survivors.

January 21^th

Adalbert General Hospital is almost empty: 3 survivors and 3 zombies inside the building. A crowd of 20 zombies linger outside. Only lightly barricaded.

January 20^th

The zombie attack on Adalbert General Hospital is beaten back again and again but reinforcements are needed soon for a decisive victory for survivors.

January 17^th

The Zeds continue a concentrated attack on Adalbert General Hospital. Seventeen Zeds on the steps of Aldabert, more than forty bodies litter the street. The generator has been knocked out and the barricades have been pulled down to only be repeatedly rebuild. The survivors are holding, for now.

Happy New Year Wykewood! Everything seems to be relatively quiet for the start of 2008 except for the hospitals and the Poynter hotel [1]. There are 9 zombies each outside each hospital! There are 5 zombies outside the Poynter Hotel. --Vezira 12:37, 2 January 2008 (PDT)

I second that. Went through I would say half of Wykewood however. Would still keep at yellow but things seem to be calming down. ChiaPet

UPDATE A quick run through the 'burb shows that 4/5 buildings are either ruined or in the process of being ruined. 10 zombies outside Josephine's Hospital at the time of this report.

If you're part of the clean up crew (like I am) you have quite a bit of work to do.

Aldabert has fallen. It's likely that Josephine will fall shortly. Also, the suburb's cellular service is offline, due to the ruining of the suburbs Mobile Phone mast building. --User:Axe27/Sig 03:55, 25 October 2007 (BST)

October 18^th

Exploring the southeast, middle, and northwest of wykewood, I have counted about 9 zombies in the northwest and middle of wykewood, about 5 outside one building in the NW. This is strange for such a quiet month. The Banger Cinema is ruined, which is even stranger. Of course, this must be all due to the LUE zombies that have just moved into our neighbour South Blythville to the east. I just hope that no more of these..these THINGS will come...

October 2^nd

After quite an usually long time for peace and quiet from the zombies, the hospitals were finally broken into when no one expected it today, and luckily I awoke just in time to run. I was walking from safe house to safe house northwards and then eastwards today. Many of the northern safe houses that are supposed to be Barricaded Very Strongly are either only lightly barricaded or extremely barricaded. Some of the buildings that are not supposed to be barricaded are actually extremely barricaded. It will be a tough night for the weaker civilians in these parts...

Wykewood is slowly rebuilding after being vigorously ravaged in the most recent wave of zombie activity. Barricades levels are beginning to stabilize and the standing count in the streets is greatly reduced. Those looking for ways to participate in the rebuilding efforts are encouraged to review the publicly accessible barricade plan and seek out local groups for cooperative support.

September 5^th

Wykewood has almost completely fallen, all safehouses are ransacked or damaged beyond repair, the suburb is no longer safe for any survivor.

September 4^th

Most of the suburb is crawling with zombies but there are few buildings that are barricaded. Not quite Very Dangerous but more than Dangerous. --Sonny Corleone ^{RRF DORIS CRF pr0n} 15:59, 4 September 2007 (BST)

I'd have to say it has become very dangerous. The last barricaded buildings are falling fast. The Sambourne PD and nearby buildings all fell today to ZED hordes. Many buildings now have Zeds in them finishing off the survivors left, or starting to ruin the buildings. I was infected and very low on HP .. so I walked around a bit before dying (no med kit) and counted around 60 Zeds inside and outside the buildings.

July

July 29^th

Both Josephine and Adelbert Hospitals are wide open and occupied by at least two medium-sized zed groups. Horde affiliations, if any, are unknown; those zeds I was able to scan were ferals. This eyewitness did not remain in the area to collect further details... but you can look at this iWitness report for yourself: http://iwrecords.urbandead.info/07-29-07_1700hrs_PUBLIC/OUT_12-76_West_Wykewood_M_3fd-ad3-863.html

Additionally, survivors attempting to flee the area be warned: most buildings in the area that are still intact are at EHB. --WanYao 17:58, 29 July 2007 (BST)

Could all survivors in the vicinity of Thompson Mall in Lockettside please aware that The Profile Police intend to carry out a public education programme there 'around' 13:30Hrs GMT on Thursday May 3rd. In order to foster a greater feeling of public spirit in the area The Legions of Lockettside would like to invite all survivors in the nearby area to attend in order to learn a valuable lesson. Please note that although The Profile Police have invited only the "stupid or ignorant" we believe that everyone should make the effort to be there in order to ask questions or participate in any way you feel fit in what is bound to be a hotly debated event. We recommend anyone attending arrive early and save AP for the event. Due to the tardy nature of The Profile Police we also recommend logging in and out on a regular basis at least until 14:30Hrs GMT if possible in order to ensure you don't miss the activities.

Update: How ironic - the "Profile Police" don't know how to spell 'Tompson Mall.'

I hope you humans PK each other off so we animals can have the scraps... yum. --Bolts a Junkyard dog

May 1^st

In the past few weeks the two hospitals have changed hands several times, with no real lasting gain for either side. At this point Josephine's is VHB with a few dozen zeds outside, breakins happening daily, the rest of the suburb is in about the same shape.

Things have taken a turn for the dead. Most buildings are open, the two hospitals are in zombie hands....for now.

With the fall of the hospitals, the still increasing horde of zombies have started attacking the surrounding buildings. --Sgt. Expendable ^JG 09:02, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

December 15^th

Both Josephine and Adalbert Hospital were ransacked early this morning. The zombies have ripped their own arms off to pat themselves on the back. Meanwhile the survivors are getting revived and plotting like mad. --Rolo Tomasi 14:35, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

December 14^th

ALL CALL -- Survivors desperately needed @ Adalbert & Josephine Hospitals. It is 90+ zombies against around 30 survivors. I am asking for your help. It has been really fun so far, and we Josephine's Generals are have been stalwart defenders, but these numbers are just too much. Please help. --Rolo Tomasi 15:41, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Update: Danger Level to Dangerous, due to size of horde outside the hospitals. Should have been updated a couple weeks ago. --Sgt. Expendable ^JG 19:26, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Update: Adalbert was retaken several hours ago. Barricades are currently up at both hospitals as the horde approaches 100. --Sgt. Expendable ^JG 01:29, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

December 11^th

Owing to the fact that that there are now over 70 zombies laying siege to Adalbert General Hospital, Josephine's Generals have temporarily raised the barricade level of the hospital to Extremely Heavily Barricaded in accordance with the Uniform Barricading Policy. Survivors should note that this means there are no enterable hospitals in Wykewood. Survivors looking for freerunning access should note that the McDonald Motel directly south of Adalbert has been reduced to VS+2 and will serve as the replacement freerunning entry until the siege is over. Survivors without freerunning are welcome to sleep in McDonald, and members of Josephine's Generals will be making "clinical runs" to Motel, distributing FAKs as needed.

All survivors are encouraged to help defend Adalbert, as the situation is continuously escalating, and has potential to become one of the most noteworthy non-mall sieges since the Battle of Blackmore. --Sgt. Expendable ^JG 22:05, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

December 7^th

Adalbert and Josephine's General are still solidly in survivor hands despite a sharp rise in the number of zombies outside. In the last few days, the average number of standing zombies outside Adalbert General Hospital has been 20-25, with around 30 bodies. Zombies recently achieved their largest break-in to Adalbert since the Big Bash rolled through several month ago; 5 zombies were inside the hospital, and were disposed of in under an hour.

Now for news in the rest of the suburb. A few quick scouting runs have shown that the rest of Wykewood shows no lingering effects of the recent influx of zombies. Outside of the revive point, the largest concentration of zombies is at the hospitals. Lavington, Samborne, etc have all been restored to proper barricade levels and are repopulated.

Survivors should beware that a number of known PK'ers, GK'ers, and other such griefers have been spotted hanging around the Skilliter Hotel.

Revivers should be aware of a number of Sacred Ground violators currently in Wykewood. Despite this, members of Josephine's Generals and a handful of independant scientists still regularly and quickly service the cemetary. --Sgt. Expendable ^JG 22:40, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

December 3^rd

Adalbert and Josepehine's General Hospitals are still holding strong. Members of Church of the Resurrection have been spotted outside Adalbert. Whether this is a group effort or merely a few of their members wandering in from South Blythville is unknown. Both hospitals are still holding strong, with zed numbers falling slightly in the past couple days. It would seem that the De-vivification Experts of Malton and Dead on Arrival have met their match, and while a few members of these groups remain, most seem to have moved on to other targets. Currently 4 standing zombies, 26 bodies outside Adalbert. --Sgt. Expendable ^JG

Update: A couple members of the Ridleybank Resistance Front have also been spotted. Wykewood is becoming popular.--Sgt. Expendable ^JG

November

November 29^th

Adalbert General Hospital has been under siege by nearly 50 zombies. Some are ferals, others are members of the De-vivification Experts of Malton and the rest are members of Dead on Arrival. Currently there's usually 12-20 zeds standing at any one time. Breakins, while few, are quickly contained and repulsed, and barricades at Adalbert are being maintained at VS+2 in accordance with policy. As of last night, the buildings in the general area around Adalbert were also barricaded according to policy. Survivors are encouraged to continue visiting Wykewood. And remember: Barricade and heal, then dump and kill!--Sgt. Expendable ^JG

November 24^th

SW Wykewood is beginning to see more activity. Lavington and the surrounding buildings in Nixbank and Foulkes Village are changing hands several times a day. Survivors are encouraged to help clear and rebarricade buildings, and are reminded that FAKs, barricades, and only killing those zombies inside your building are more effective than roaming the suburb killing every zombie that's outside. --Sgt. Expendable ^JG 07:09, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

November 22^nd

The De-vivification Experts of Malton have filtered into Wykewood from the adjacent Nixbank, ransacking the Lavington Crescent Police Department. Plans are being formed to retake and re-barricade both Lavington, and the nearby Delay Building in Nixbank. Mobile phone service in Wykewood is currently active. At this time, the 9 blocks around the hospitals are devoid of zombies, but there are numerous large piles of bodies. The revive queues are still being serviced regularly, and those wishing to be brought back to life sooner should make a request on the Josephine's Generals Forum or on the DEM Revivication Request Board.--Sgt. Expendable 20:59, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Lavington and Delay are back in survivor possession. Hospitals still clear. --Sgt. Expendable 02:29, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

November 19^th

Someone has tagged Samuel Park [11,74] a brain rot revive point. Zeds with brain rot can only be revived in powered Necrotech buildings. All zombies at Samuel Park are fair game. again, IT IS NOT A REVIVE POINT. Any nearby zeds not at one of these three points: Munro Row[8,76], cemetery [8,77], or cemetery [17,75]: are fair game Rolo Tomasi 03:27, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

November 13^th

All citizens, NT scientists especially, should keep an eye out for PK group Pavor Nocturnus, which has been spotted operating in the area. In the SW, there have been view zombies as of now, but numerous large piles of bodies. A few pockets of ransacked or under-caded buildings in the north are being brought back in-line according to policy. Status of Castleman Walk FD unknown: as of this writing there no MFD members, but survivors were inside, with the barricades being brought from loose to VS+2 by the author.--Sgt. Expendable 23:38, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

November 12^th

The recent developments in Malton are being felt in faraway Wykewood. While the status of the suburb as a whole is unknown to this writer, the southwest of Wykewood is quite busy. There appears to be a rash of overbarricading occuring despite the published barricade plan. Groups of zombies are attacking barricades with regularity, and piles of corpses numbering in the tens and twenties are animating by ones and twos daily. Rolo Tomasi 07:09, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
