Suburb Colour coding
Regarding the Pole Mall attack and reaction: being a brainless zombie, I'm not familiar with the anti-terrorist colour-coded system. However, I am reasonably sure, from my memories of being human, that "Dangerous" is not a colour.
Has it now been classified as a colour? Because if so, that would be awesome! I mean, think about it: you've got boring colours like Yellow, Blue and Green. But DANGEROUS? That just takes it to a whole new level! What colour does it resemble? Is it a cross between Red and Black? Because they're, like, my favourite colours!
Please reply with information! If it's as awesome as it sounds, we'll attack other suburbs as well to make them "Dangerous" coloured! Daggoth 04:20, 4 October 2006 (BST)
Dangerous Colored.
I'll save Daggoth from being embarassed by someone else by pointing this out:
http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/Suburb
See, under the 'Map of Malton Suburbs' ?
See the 'Suburb Danger Level Colors' ?
See the 'Dangerous' color?
Cool.
- I believe the issue at hand is that 'Dangerous' is a level, not a colour. The colour associated with Dangerous, however, seems to be some sort of orange. So, I suppose the correct terminology would be: "The colour code will remain at orange, indicating a danger level of Dangerous." - SwiftyPants 05:28, 4 October 2006 (BST)
- Dangerous is nothing. Very dangerous is a hell of a color. --Apocalyptic Doom.
Pole Mall Raid
Please keep discussion about the raids and goings-on on this page, not as part of the Current Events. The main page is for *ahem* "factual" information about West Grayside, not for verbal sparring.
Pole Mall Peaceful Reoccupation
I'm sorry. I felt the information I imparted was factual, but I understand if there is a need to present the harman viewpoint.
Let me clarify. The northwest quadrant of the Pole Mall hasn't been broken in to. We've simply reclaimed some property from squatters that we previously owned. As for claims that it has been ransacked, that is clearly untrue, the stores remain in the condition that they were when we reclaimed them from the normative conditionals. We've naturally enacted provisions to prevent the ingress of those fellows who, infected with fear, would do us bodily harm, I would hardly call that ransacking. In our condition, our eyes are sensitive to bright lights and barricaded doors prevent our easy movement between resting points. Please understand our disability. I would ask that the human community relocate to safer environs as we have no intentions of harming you but the needs of our condition may in fact cause you some inadvertant discomfort. We understand if in your ignorance and fear you would leave West Grayside, unfortuately your discrimination is deeply ingrained, but we understand completely. Good luck and may you find many pistol clips in other suburbs and hopefully someday you will examine your prejudices and understand we mean you no harm.
I will find a way to communicate this in a manner that isn't considered "verbal sparring".
- The point being that the "news" on the main page isn't a "we" or "us" perspective, it's just the news. PS I'm on your team. -DanteSck 05:02, 4 October 2006 (BST)
- I'm feel presenting the news from our perspective.--Abledanger 05:10, 4 October 2006 (BST)
- I see that you are trying the "fair and balanced" zombie view, but try it this way instead: The Northwest quadrant of Pole Mall has been restored to evolved human control. The rest will be restored shortly. Less evolved humans are recommend to relocate to a less precarious postion. Everyone in the mall or near the premises is advised to retreat to a safe suburb or barricaded location. The reclamations are include many of the key resource buildings in the suburbt, from the Malls and Necrotech locations, to law enforcement and fire departments.DanteSck 05:28, 4 October 2006 (BST)
- FWIW, I like that tweak.--Jlaw 20:48, 4 October 2006 (BST)

"Pole mall was attacked by pkers who destroyed radio's and generators after doing so they destroyed the cades and let the zombies loose inside the malls. Zeds are heavy in west Grayside.

What is up with the cades really? There is no way within a 5X5 square to get into Egbert General Hospital. This should be a top priority within West Grayside, to solve this issue, if you're too big of a pussy to sleep in a VSB building, then move along and go somewhere else.

After having wrecked the surrounding suburbs the Militant Order of Barhah has begun to move into West Grayside. Five zombies have broken into Dampney Grove Police Department with more just across the border in East Grayside. --RichterFury 16:19, 2 September 2008 (BST)
- Dampney is the hot zone right now, 10 zombies sitting inside. Rather than wasting our AP trying to kill them all, I suggest we give them the PD and focus our energy in watching the barricades to other important buildings, like Topleaf, Holly Crescent, and most importantly, Pole Mall. If we spend our energy killing every zed, what's gonna happen is they'll break in anyways, full force. --Apocalyptic doom 20:17, 2 September 2008 (GMT)

At least one RRF member has been spotted at Bunstone Alley RP. It is likely that death cultist operations are beginning.--Scott Timewell 04:39, 27 March 2008 (UTC) (moved by WanYao 17:55, 27 March 2008 (UTC))
Revive Point Safety?
It seems like this place isn't the only place with issues of idiots killing zeds at RP, but I wandered over from Wray Heights, seeing as this place would be easier to get a revive compared to a 'hot zone'. I was waiting at the Bunstone Alley [56-83] RP, and as usually it seems like I always need to be killed at least once by people before I get revived. This time it was Losec. Screen shot here.
Woops, I seem to forget to sign these things. Well same poster, and It seems like this is a very active RP point. See screen shots for details.

big bash human strategy
what a good way to start thanksgiving (American)with 67 zombies outside of the pole mall and 100 more or so around the suburb. the zombies are like the whites coming in and making false treaties while the humans are like the natives barely holding on to life. happy isn't--zink 13:48, 21 November 2007 (UTC)ZinkerT!Z!A!R!

- Pfft, its the Christmas holiday season, and christmas is notorious for one thing: family arguments. Ergo, from now on, just think of the Big Bash as your creepy Uncle Tommy who tends to drink too much, talks to himself, and keeps getting found outside upside down over your neighbour's prize rosebush. --Kiablade the Demons| GD Forums 14:05, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Halloween chit-chat (moved from News)
What a great way to start off to November. A large number of people were murdered today inside Pole Mall, including myself by a couple of lowlifes. West Grayside is under a serious threat by PKers and with the possibility of The Second Big Bash approaching. The odds of suburb survival are looking low. --Jorne 21:42, 1 November 2007 EST
- No offense... but were the odds of suburb survival ever any better than the odds that BB2 would change direction and go elsewhere? --Vandr 05:53, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
The mass murders in Pole Mall appear to have been perpetrated by a large and highly-organised group of killers, many identifying themselves with popular Latin American tradition of Día de los Muertos. It is also notable that Halloween, as it is called in North America, is in fact based on the ancient festival of Samhain, in which livestock were ritually slaughtered to cull the weak from the herd. --WanYao 05:48, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, Halloween is short/slang for "All Hallows Eve", being the day before all saints day which was kinda the opposite of Halloween. --AlexanderRM 20:37, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
- Well none of this is news... but... The Catholic church based all its major holy days and celebrations to coincide with and to counter established pagan celebrations. All Saints Days (01 Nov) is their answer to Samhain, and modern Halloween traditions can be traced back to that pagan holiday. --WanYao 21:11, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

New page proposal - barricades discussion
What do people think of this idea: we create a new sub-page called West Grayside Barricade Plan and either move the current plan there (à la Dulston) or duplicate it (à la Buttonville). The barricades discussion that is currently scattered haphazardly throughout this page could then be moved there. Such a step would consolidate the following items from this page:
- 2) Message to West Grayside;
- 2.1) A not anonymous response [IC];
- 8) Septemer 4th, 2007;
- 14) KEEP VIGILANT! But don't panic...;
- 20) Barricade Plan Proposal;
- 20.1) Barricade Plan Discussion.
Should we call for votes FOR and AGAINST? How are things done here? --Dan Everyman 19:24, 21 October 2007 (BST)
- I'm up for voting for that. --Kiablade the Demons| GD Forums 19:42, 21 October 2007 (BST)
- Moi aussi... And, actually in this case, Dan, you could probably make a page like that without "permission", I think... But it's good ettiquette to ask first, otherwise some people might get a little ticked. Some people on the wiki are pretty, uh, sensitive. :)But it's normal nowadays for barricade plans to have their own page, anyway... BTW, I like the layout of the Buttonville barricade plan, I'd vote for emulating it. But do you wish to be creating a new plan, or just trying to clean up both this page and the map/diagram? --WanYao 20:03, 21 October 2007 (BST)
- As long as Demon territory stays the way we like to keep it (ie, you ask before skipping off and changing things), then if someone wants to emulate another plan, I'm happy to talk through our requirements with them while they are doing it. --Kiablade the Demons| GD Forums 20:06, 21 October 2007 (BST)
- I've just created the page to use here. One merely needs to transfer the appropriate contents over. I may get a start on it later on, as long as there are not any big objections. As for changes to the plan itself... Well, we do have a policy... it's generally been well tagged and followed in the past. I'm not really down with any big changes to what we currently have, but debate is always fine, of course. But, for example, making the PD right next to the NTs VSB, for instance, as some person was insisting in-game... no... sheeeeesh... --WanYao 20:13, 21 October 2007 (BST)
- Me again... That page would be meant for the policy map itself, and the directly pertinent information surrounding the policy... all the talk ought to go, well, on it talk page. And btw thanks Dan Everyman for input etc! --WanYao 20:18, 21 October 2007 (BST)
- I've done some housekeeping here and there. Hope no one minds me shifting nearly the whole lot over there? If people feel that we don't need a link anymore on this page (I'd suggest not archiving it when it gets that old), then feel free to edit those out (...this is mostly aimed at you WanYao!) --Kiablade the Demons| GD Forums 20:35, 21 October 2007 (BST)
- I followed suit and finished the job! I hvae no problem with what you did -- I did it too, but even more wholesale :) ... Everything pertaining to the Barricade Policy discussion has been placed on the Talk Page of the new page. But if anyone has any objections or suggestions if I did things wrong, please don't hesitate to let me know! Honestly, I also think this is good, because this page was getting very cluttered... We're a chatty lot, no? :) --WanYao 21:01, 21 October 2007 (BST)

Would you mind if I removed the old barricade plan from the main article and included the West Grayside Barricade Policy page as a template instead? No sense in maintaining the same information in two places, one of them is going to get out of date sooner or later. I could also add a link (labeled "discuss the barricade policy", or something like that) which would lead to Talk:West_Grayside_Barricade_Policy. --Midianian|T|T:S|C:RCS| 11:39, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
Danger Level Discussion
west grayside is being destroyed! amost all of the biuldings are ransacked and if they arent they have zeds inside of them! I just rebuilt barter road and restored it to VSB so people can use it as a safehouse. Hopefully WG will soon be the completely green suburb it once was.--Cort firefighter 06:11, 13 October 2007 (BST)
- I agree... we have a bit of a zed problem right now =) But this is what keeps the game interesting, my friend! Personally, I find green suburbs boring. At least this way we have stuff to keep us occupied! =) --WanYao 06:23, 13 October 2007 (BST)
- If you don't like it, move to another part of the suburb. I saw a max of ten zombies loitering around near where I am. Ten is not an "OMG we're all going to die" problem. Twenty in each block...then, you may squeal, wail, and carry on like a pansy (and I'll happily join you), but until there are more than ten in a nine-square block, forgive me for not throwing up my hands and screaming like a girl. --Kiablade the Demons| GD Forums 08:41, 13 October 2007 (BST)
- Shhhht, play nice! :) Strategically, the Mall and the area near the two TRPs are the most important part of the suburb. The mall seems okay last I checked, and the outskirts are a lot safer, but the importand zone around the TRPs is very dangerous right now. Anyway, many people are working on defending the buildings.... but the Cort firefighter pointed out, we can use more! --WanYao 08:51, 13 October 2007 (BST)
- I am fairly near the Mall though! Besides, we have enough problems with Natural Selection, and all their PK-ing to do anything about zombies right now. You want to help keep them lying on the ground (or at least stop people rev-ing them), and I'll get a few of my lot to come help out at the mall! --Kiablade the Demons| GD Forums 23:47, 13 October 2007 (BST)

I just want to mention that typically when LUE attacks, they seem to mainly attack the mall while leaving much of the rest of the suburb quite intact. So, even if the mall is breached, as long as the rest of the suburb is still relatively untouched and the majority of TRPs intact, there is rarely a reason to panic and upgrade the danger levels to Dangerous, and certainly not to Very Dangerous. Just sayin' .... --WanYao 09:37, 4 October 2007 (BST)
One more time: Pole/Clapton/Younghusband are NOT the entire suburb... I'm out of the suburb currently, resupplying, so I can't speak to the situation suburb-wide... But last I was there, only Pole mall had fallen. Everything else -- including NTs, PDs and hospitals -- were mostly a-okay... If that is still the case, West Grayside does NOT warrant a Very Dangerous rating. Please note the definition of Very Dangerous: "Most buildings wide open or zombie-infested; OR hostile zombie mobs of 150+". Please include reports on the other TRPs and their status to avoid confusion. Thanks. --WanYao 22:58, 6 October 2007 (BST)

- Well... LUE seems to only attack malls and landmarks like Clapton, lately. They didn't touch the NTs last time... So, I'll wait in setting it to dangerous until I get some reports on the NTs, et al... But I have a hunch it's currently Dangerous, not VD. --WanYao 00:27, 7 October 2007 (BST)
- Seriously, I'm getting reports about "OMG, teh mall is down, the church is down, the stadium is down, we're all gunna DIIIIIIIIIIEEEEE!111!!1!!!1!!oneone!" *rolls her eyes* Noobs, can't live with them, can't put them down them without getting told you're a PKer.

- I think the point is that there are still a lot of zombies in the area, and you're as likely to wake up tomorrow dead as not, depending on which buildings the zombies decide to hit. Regardless of how many zombies are in Clapton or Pole Mall right now, if any humans decided to try and retake it, they'd probably be killed within a few hours. Is the rest of the suburb dangerous? I don't know, but 10 blocks isn't that far a walk for a zombie meal.--Insomniac By Choice 02:27, 8 October 2007 (BST)
- Of course there are a lot of zombies in the area, no one is disputing that. And no one is trying to make this a green suburb or anything. By the definitions I'd say West Grayside is definately Dangerous -- both technically and practically -- but not Very Dangerous. "Most buildings wide open or zombie-infested; OR hostile zombie mobs of 150+" -- is the definition of a red suburb. We're not quite there... Urban Dead is a cat 'n' mouse game. At any given time a survivor could log on the find himself eaten up, that's the way it is. And zombies try to break into as many buildings as possible, not just to eat bra!nz, but strategically to lessen the number of places survivors have to hide -- making the job of finding those left easier. But the more buildings that are barricaded, the greater the odds are that an intelligent survivor will make it through the night... Last I looked, survivors still have a lot of places to hide in West Grayside... And most of the TRPs are still up and running... So what exactly are we arguing about?? --WanYao 04:46, 8 October 2007 (BST)

Sep. 18th News Talk
We aren't doomed or being doomed, but there are 38 zeds at the revive point. Does this mean it's a horde or just a bunch of survivors wanting to be revivificated? Mark Colbert
- Which revive point? Last time I checked Bunstone Alley, the WGW's revive point, there were only 8 zombies there! A couple of days ago, but yes, 8... There were over 30 a week ago... And, for the record, zeds were clogging Bunstone Alley, and quite heavily, when the numbers were above a dozen.
- And, yes, West Grayside is under heavy assault. Is it safe here? Hell no. A lot of safehouses are being broken into and a lot people are getting eaten. And in the last couple of days, as the saying goes, "The RRF have entered the building..." However, it's not like every building is open and ruined and there are no safehouses or TRPs available, nowhere whatsoever to hide -- I don't think that's the case. I've been in suburbs like that: currently West Grayside is not like that... --WanYao 17:45, 19 September 2007 (BST)
- This one: *Cemetery [52,83]. 38, and someone has started an overflow RP 1 E of that. As for doomed, you can be hungry or be doomed, but you can't be hungried as a present tense verb, nor can you say "we are being doomed". Perhaps I shouldn't be such a dork about this. Anyway, the suburb is undre threat, yes. Mark Colbert
- Ok... not trying to make drama or anything... The West Grayside Watch maintains the Bunstone Alley RP. As far I am aware (I could be wrong) that cemetery is run by the Grayside Demons; WGW do not actively work it. We have been working our RP, though, as best we able in these trying times... and while it might be backed up now, when I was last there we were getting through the que... --WanYao 22:35, 19 September 2007 (BST)
- Oh... and "doom" is a transitive verb; "hunger" in your example is intransitive. Therefore, one can doom someone or something. Technically, I think "We are being doomed by the blah blah blah" isn't incorrect. But it is bloody ugly. Aaah, grammar pedantry among so-called "news reporters"? Who'd ever have thunk it? ;P --WanYao 22:47, 19 September 2007 (BST)
- Yep, 52,83 is our RP. We've been a bit shorthanded lately, and seeing as how most of the dead from the mall head to our RP, it's quite obvious that things will be a bit backed up. We ask people that want a quick revive to post on our forums, it's easier on us if they do, that way we save AP scanning and finding suitable targets.-- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 00:28, 20 September 2007 (BST)

If these nightly, coordinated assaults on Pole escalate, it will fall, mostly due to the idiocy of those wherein, and both Graysides will be under threat from a large number of zeds, not to mention the ferrals.

Suburb flavor text
I wrote some new stuff for the wiki, but I thought I'd post it here before putting it up. Please feel to comment, edit, append, etc.. Anyway, I thought it could go something like this:
- West Grayside was Malton's number one entertainment hotspot and cultural hub before the outbreak. The suburb was home to Pole Mall, the innovative Hitoshi Abe-designed Clapton Stadium, as well as numerous fashionable clubs and pubs, and several popular cinemas. Whether it was hipsters or hip hop kids, football fans or Miskatonic student-intellectuals, postcard punks or upscale fashionistas, all kinds could be seen vying for the spotlight in the suburb's sidewalk cafes, pubs, clubs and trendy boutiques.
- Darker times have fallen upon the neighborhood since the outbreak, however, and life has simplified somewhat -- with the major fashion statements competing against each other now being trenchcoats, tensor bandages and cranial decomposition.
--WanYao 15:23, 3 August 2007 (BST)

WGW
Just thinking we might have a problem with both the West Grayside Watch and the West Grayside Wolfpack BOTH chosing to have 'WGW' as their abbreviations. This could cause confusion within the suburb. Are there any suggestions on how to fix this? (Mine would be to change the Wolfpack to WGWP - would this be acceptable?). --Kiablade the Demons| GD Forums 20:54, 30 July 2007 (BST)
- I dunno, a 4 letter acronym? Doesn't seem right for a non radio station. Since the Wolfpack does occupy areas in East Grayside -
- "The West Grayside Wolfpack is a conflagration of weirdos based out of the Dimmock Auto Repair building in West Grayside. The Wolfpack, largely, are NOT furries and will probably verbally abuse those who are (or anyone else, for that matter). The Wolfpack's territory extends into East Grayside." (taken from their wiki page http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/West_Grayside_Wolfpack), would it be possible if they changed their name to Grayside Wolfpack with the abbreviation GWP? --Apocalyptic Doom
- That's if they're still an active group. --Apocalyptic doom
Revive Points
I believe that if the revive points have specific requests sites, then they should be listed. It is ridiculous otherwise! The edit I made to the main page meant that the three groups running the sites would a) get more custom, and b) allow people to know who to ask if they need a speedy revive. I would expect other groups (I'm speaking from the point of the Grayside Demons) to also have some form of request tool, even if its a blanket one. I vote to put that back in. --Kiablade the Demons| GD Forums 15:16, 19 July 2007 (BST)
- Post it on the group pages and mabey mention it on the RPs location stubs then.--Karekmaps?! 15:19, 19 July 2007 (BST)
- On the Demon's page, it is there. But people turning up at the revive point might not know that that RP is run by them (the Demons). Tags unfortunately keep getting removed. Using this method, at least people visiting West Grayside will know which groups are good places to search to look for a speedy revive. --Kiablade the Demons| GD Forums 15:33, 19 July 2007 (BST)
- The revive points should be where speedy revives happen already otherwise they probably shouldn't be mentioned. But there is a way around this, you can put the Active tag(I think Yagoton has it on their page) next to the RPs to show how fast or slow the RP actually is. No need for posting the group at all, as there shouldn't be.--Karekmaps?! 15:36, 19 July 2007 (BST)

i'm on my way west grayside so i'm going to chime in on this...
i think there's a pretty simple solution to this, one i've seen in a couple of other burbs i've visited. in the TRP "tables" you list the revive points normally, just names and coordinates. but you have a short section in the wiki text listing the RPs, who (if anyone specific) manages them, and the best way to ask for a revive.
so it's look like a little this... and this is just a rough "template"... and i'm laso not trying to favour any single group, okay, just giving examples.. :)
Revive Points in West Greyside
- [X,Y] [Name] Maintained by the Grayside Demons. Contact them [here] to make a request
- [X2,Y2] [Name] Maintained by whomever, contact wherever.
- [xx,yy][xxx,yyy] cemeteries also commonly serve as revive points.
- [X3, Y3] [Name] is also a commonly used Revive Point but is not actively maintained by any single group and speedy turnarounds cannot be guaranteed.
Revive requests can also be made through the [DEM Request Tool]
simple, straightforward, and -- in spite of what certain rabid zambahz like to say about pro-harman bias in the wikis -- it's NPOV. Mentioning an active group in this way in the wiki isn't NPOV: it's called objectively presenting relevant and important facts.
my two bits worth....... --WanYao 07:15, 25 July 2007 (BST)
- Re: I/The Demons would agree to such a method being used. --Kiablade the Demons| GD Forums 14:59, 25 July 2007 (BST)
- Too bad no one really does manage Rps, they just stake a claim to them. RPs may have people from said group working at them but they will always also have unassociated people and the more used the RP the more people who are reviving. Which means that such a mention isn't Neutral and isn't true.--Karekmaps?! 22:17, 25 July 2007 (BST)
- To make things easier for us, we have been looking into staking a larger claim over our rev point during calmer times, purely because if people post wanting a revive, and get revived by an unassociated person, it means that a Demon has to make a journey for no reason, which is a pain. Sure, its quicker revives (of up to one hour only during off peak calm times), but it still leaves us with the huge problems unfortunately! --Kiablade the Demons| GD Forums 00:52, 26 July 2007 (BST)

RPs may have people from said group working at them but they will always also have unassociated people and the more used the RP the more people who are reviving. Which means that such a mention isn't Neutral and isn't true.--Karekmaps?! 22:17, 25 July 2007 (BST)
- I say this over and over and over in the wiki.... this is GAME. and this wiki is GAME TOOL. not an academic refernce text.
- so, i wish people would quit demanding (or posturing as though they demand) the same standards out of the UD wiki that they would out of the wikipedia or out of a scholarly publication. such demands are not only absurd but totally counter-productive.
- regarding the immediate subject at hand: if there is a forum or other process run by a particular group to facilitate revs, then that information NEEDS to be clearly listed on the burb page. anything else is a DISSERVICE to the players playing this game, especially the newbs.
- pedantic demands for pseudo-NPOV are irrelevant in this case. again, this is a GAME and a TOOL for PLAYERS. it's not the britannica. and a useful game tool in this case facilitates game play by providing information that helps players get a revive as efficiently as possible. this helps keep UD alive and running and enjoyable for all. conversely, being wiki pedants and trying to pretend that this is the Maltonian equivalent of the 18th century philosophe's encyclopedia project is clearly NOT productive to, or facilitative of, the play and enjoyment of the Urban Dead.
- now... from what i have seen i will probably be flamed to hell and back for what i've just said... as the pedants willingly stand up to identify themselves as such... yeah, i've been here about a week, and i know ALL ABOUT that by now... but i don't care, because newbie or not, i know i speak with the voice of reason and critical thought on this issue. i also know that i am not alone in that regard... so let's all have fun... okay?

Is anyone alive?!
- Hello, my name is Cash Whizdom. I've been looking around Malton for a new place to call home since my last one (Pitneybank) went to Hell with street wars between CDF and the CGR. But what completely killed us all was when LUE came through and wiped out Giddings Mall in 6 hours or less. But I was considering making West Grayside my new home, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what goes on around there? (i.e. Zed/PKer count and activity) Or If there are any major groups active in the area? Or if there is a forum or some other place that posts are made because it seems as though not much has been said about this suburb lately. Well thanks and me know soon! And don't forget to visit my user page! --Cash Whizdom 19:10, 12 July 2007 (BST)
- Re: The Grayside Demons would always like to have another person around (forums link is in my sig). As for zed count, its fairly low. I saw mebe five the last time I was wandering around outside. Few pk'ers, most aren't exactly a problem though. Other groups are the WGW (West Grayside Watch) and the MDD (Malton Death Dealers). As long as you keep off the MDD's turf, and don't antagonise the WGW, its a pretty safe suburb. Course, we're right next to East Grayside, which contains S.T.A.R.S., so you don't want to be too close to the eastern border! Anyway, happy to help, and don't forget, if you come to W. Grayside, let your little Demon out to play! --Kiablade the Demons| GD Forums 20:17, 12 July 2007 (BST)
Suburb map placement
I think the Suburb map should be placed BEFORE the current events section, as the length of that section may prevent people from noticing that the suburb map even exists. Tyler Rilm 12:16, 16 March 2007 (PST)
- It most assuredly should not be, News section is the whole reason people visit the page and thus should be in the most prominence. Don't like long news sections be sure to archive it monthly and keep your news updates short.--Karekmaps?! 10:49, 19 July 2007 (BST)
I propose we delete the Suburb map as it is redundant with the barricade policy map--Johnie 2x4 17:37, 19 July 2007 (BST)
- I dissagree entirely! I can't stand the BP Map, and I never look at it, in fact I propose we change/update it! It's too big and all the colors run together. And a lot of the time it isn't accurate either!--Cash Whizdom 19:16, 19 July 2007 (BST)
- Oh I personally dislike the concept all together because it is essentially useless. But some people are obsessed with keeping them(usually the ones that made the damn thing in the first place) so any time they get removed as they should be it results in an edit conflict.--Karekmaps?! 18:43, 24 July 2007 (BST)
- If we're going to have any kind of map, it should be a coordinated effort between the groups of West Grayside each deciding what is important within their territory, with un-claimed buildings left to a vote. --Kiablade the Demons| GD Forums 18:59, 24 July 2007 (BST)
- Well, first of all there is a bookmarked table of contents for people to quickly skip down to the section they're looking for. Secondly... I find the barricade policy maps hard to read, too. But they are very important and shouldn't be dispensed with. If you want to save space, put it on another page and link to it. And if the policy isn't being followed, then it's putting survivors' lives at risk and groups in the area need to actively enforce it. Nothing is more frustrating than wasting APs, sometimes getting killed, trying to find a safehouse because some arse overbarricaded. At least a plan is, well, a PLAN... and gives one an idea where to look at least for a safehouse.

- And, for the record, you want to kill the game, stagnate it by driving off new players? ... Overbarricade all the time, make sure newbs are getting killed left right and centre. Then, make them wait for ages, while wandering all over town trying to find an active RP, while Type A-hole jerks grief them constantly at revive points... Then, the second they get a revive and manage to get a safehouse to recharge AP? PK them!!! That's what it's like being a newb in Urban Dead. Trust me, I know... And I'm not whinging, but I am telling it like it is.

H.Q for my group.
Hey, could I claim an HQ for the OMC in the southern factory? Is that anyone in particulars turf?
Chris' 'Redfield 04:04, 18 May 2007 (BST)
- not that I know of feel free to use it--Johnie 2x4 14:20, 14 June 2007 (BST)
- "turf"? turf??? am i to understand that other survivors aren't allowed to use that factory as a resting place, or to search for items they need? --WanYao 04:59, 5 August 2007 (BST)
- Depends on the group. Some guard their territroy viciously, while others welcome visitors. Normally turf is the area maintained by a group, where they can put their tags, decide which buildings are barricaded and which are entrances, etc. Speaking from the perspective of the Demons, we allow external survivors within our turf willingly, for our HQ, we only allow survivors that no not belong to rival groups, nor anyone that causes insult or damage (to other survivors, Demons, radio, generator, barricades, etc!). Basically, you'd have to check with the group, whether they are heavily violent, or relatively peaceful should give an indication of whether they are under open territory or closed territory laws. --Kiablade the Demons| GD Forums 14:00, 5 August 2007 (BST)
MOB alert
| MOB Alert |
The Militant Order of Barhah have ransacked a nearby suburb-Kinch Heights. Locals should be advised that the MOB may attack their suburb at any time-and should take precautions. New players may wish to evacuate the suburb. This alert was posted on 17 August 2008). |
Pretty much says it. They destroyed Kinch Heights in under a week, so be careful... Linkthewindow 10:25, 17 August 2008 (BST)
Witt Tower boys
Can someone move these to Pker groups? Also a check of all groups in the suburb would be good I think a few may be inactive. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Athur birling (talk • contribs) at an unknown time.

Great Suburb Group Massacre 2010
All suburb wiki pages are undergoing a clean up to remove inactive groups from the group listing (see here: this suburb's groups). If you are a group currently listed in this suburb, you will be contacted on your group's talk page within the next few days and asked to reply, indicating that you are active in this suburb. Groups that fail to reply within two weeks of being contacted will automatically be removed from the suburbs where they are listed.
We're posting here in the hopes that more groups will be aware of the clean up and can respond appropriately, since our team does not have the time nor the manpower to seek out every group in-game or track down its group members elsewhere on the wiki. If you know that some groups in your suburb do not check the wiki, please be a good neighbor and let them know that they NEED to check it for this, or else they will be unlisted in the near future.
The wiki members coordinating the cleanup will be using the table below to track their progress in communicating with the various groups. Please do not edit it if you are not involved with The Great Suburb Group Massacre 2010 team.
