History
Stickling Mall was the site of the last human holdout in Shearbank when The Many attacked the suburb beginning August 28th, 2005.
During the period of DARIS control over Shearbank, Stickling Mall was a well-known danger-zone for non-DARIS members.
After 3 days of co-ordinated attacks starting on December 30th, The Gray took Stickling Mall. The combined efforts of The Gray and over a hundred ferals caused survivors to flee the NE corner. Once the NE corner was clear zombies were able to stand inside and keep the way open. By evening on January 2nd the zombies in the mall outnumbered the humans. On Jan 3rd the mall was completely emptied of survivors. Many of the zombies associated with the siege have gone on to join Mall Tour '06.
February 28, 2006 All is quiet in Stickling. Minor zombie activity ouside of the mall, but the mall itself and the entire suburb of Shearbank are relatively in hand. NOTE that the Mall is currently only accessable to free runners. There's no shortage of solidly defended places to get into around the mall (if you're looking for a place to crash or an entry point).
March 31, 2006 Stickling is currently safe and heavily barricaded in most areas . Groups of Zombies are starting to form but the human activity should be enough to hold them back . If your in Shearbank now is the time to populate the mall and fight of the Zombie hordes . Most buildings around the Mall including the Nerotech building are secure , barricaded and populated . I see the dawn of human population of Shearbank along the Horizon.

June 21st, 2006 After having been cracked open yet again on ~19th; the Mall was cleared out in an operation by the ACC working with local groups and unaffiliated survivors. Zombie attacks through the night inflicted heavy casualties on the relatively few survivors holding it. However the zombies were overcome and forced out; the Mall is under human control, but this is a fragile situation and reinforcements are urgently needed.
July 4th, 2006 Yet again, the mall was cracked open after the last operation. The ACC called for reinforcements to help them hold the mall for good this time. In a carefully planned assault the mall was once again cleared and secured; hopefully now as a permanent base in the suburb.
July 11th, 2006 The DEM officially declares the Shop-A-Thon, a 3 day taking of the mall for looting of survivors, a success. With help from survivor groups the ACC, 4-H, FVZA, as well as many other members from miscellaneous groups and a handful of lone survivors, the operation is a success. --Inspector 20m813 (MPD) 20:55, 11 July 2006 (BST)
July 15, 2006 The mall is completely empty of either survivors or zombies. All corners are barricaded to at least Heavily and no ransack damage. I'm not sure what happened here, but the the mall should be habitable. --Bake Hayes 20:35, 15 July 2006 (BST)
August 6, 2006 The mall's been occupied by survivors for at least a week. About 30 zombies are pounding on the upper left corner and occasionally break in, but the mall's population seems to be at least holding steady. --Splingwibble 15:28, 6 August 2006 (BST)
August 12, 2006 The siege is over, for now at least. The mall is well populated with survivors, fully lit and open for business, with no more than a few standing Zs outside any corner. No adjacent buildings have any serious problems either. --Splingwibble 14:30, 12 August 2006 (BST)
Nov, 2006 With the mystique of Caiger having been devoured by the hordes, several residents of Stickling Mall have begun to proclaim their home as the new centre of humanity in Malton, citing their utter rout of the Big Bash as proof. Whether this boast proves prophetic or foolhardy is yet to be seen.
Dec, 2006 Shacknews proved to be more potent than than the Big Bash. Stickling Mall fell to the same resource starvation tactics that brought down Caiger. The Zombie horde first deprived the survivors of the Whippey Necrotech facility. A few days later Stickling Mall fell with the largest defender group, PTT, sounding the call for retreat.
