Culture Tour | News Archive | JL | Talk | Philosophe Knights October 2008 Week 1 I officially began my tour on October 5, 2008. I visited a total of 16 sites as I traveled southward through the suburbs of Darvall Heights, East Becktown, Lukinswood, and Lerwill Heights. I encountered only one ruined building. I became aware of the existence of the Sebright Union when I combat-revived someone purporting to be one of their members in order to repair the McMullen Museum. As inhabitants and caretakers of the Sebright Museum, a center of learning, theirs is a group I believe the Philosphe Knights would do well to perhaps contact at some point. I hoped to meet additional members of their group upon arriving at the museum, but found none there. Week 2 I visited a total of 15 sites (only two of them ruined when I arrived), traveling west through part of Reganbank, then south again, through Mornington and Wykewood. The latter two suburbs completed, I began heading north again, by way of Crooketon, only to find myself PKed by this fellow while I was while waiting for enough AP to read a book in the Lawler Museum. I'm currently at a revive point (3, 58) a bit further north in Grigg Heights, but revives seem to be rather slow in this part of town. Week 3 I received a revive from this fellow, whom I had greeted several days earlier in a museum. But not before I had the opportunity to observe the revive que for a day. However much my group may disapprove of the DEM and their practices, I must admit they did a very efficient job clearing the revive point in this quite dangerous and overrun suburb. In fact, the MCDU and MFU were the only groups I observed working to clear the RP (the one revive by a member of the Redneck 'lil Boys excepted). I then traveled south to (finally) read a book in the Lawler Museum, then headed northeast, to complete the suburb of Reganbank. (In the process, I also visited two nearby centers of learning Molebank, then two in Owsleybank as I returned to Grigg Heights). This region is far less survivor-friendly than the suburbs visited to this date - buildings are unlit and re-ruined daily; inhabitants are few and ill-coordinated. Of the 14 sites visited this week, 5 required repair, and many more required cading. Week 4 I completed the suburb of Grigg Heights, and moved into Owsleybank, where I was promptly killed. After wandering several suburbs away, looking for an active revive point, received one five days later (again thanks to the DEM). I took the opportunity to complete the suburb of East Becktown, and visited sites in Darvall Heights and Eastonwood. Of the 8 sites visited this week, half were ruined. August 2011 Week 5 - after waking up from a three-year nap! After at last getting a revive in Lamport Hills from this kind fellow, I headed down to Eastonwood to complete my tour of the suburb. The suburb as a whole was beautifully maintained and lit...but the one library I needed to visit was an EHB+2 pinata. I spent a day hacking the cades down to HB, and someone else finished the repair job while I slept. I then travelled through Shuttlebank, Gatcombeton, and Quarlesbank on my way to complete my tour of Darvall Heights. Of the 20 sites visited this week, the only other impediment was the Cator Museum, with no cades and an inconvenient zombie. September 2011 Week 6 I completed a tour of Chudleytown, getting killed by a zombie and revived by this person in the process. I then travelled west to Peddlesden Village, but was unable to complete my tour of the suburb due to a brain rotted zombie in the Hockey museum, who unfortunately brought along a friend the next day. So I circled through Roywood instead. My lack of gun skills poses a bit of a problem in this area, which seems to boast a high percentage of rotters. On the brighter side, I had a lovely chat with this man concerning the probable location of Steinways and the possibility of airlifting a piano into Malton. 17 sites total; 3 ruined. Week 7 Well goddamit, I didn't care if I had to stay there all week...the Hockey museum was going down. After stubbornly whittling down the HP of the zombies for three days, I finally managed to sneak in a repair. I was rather attatched to the building by that point, so I stayed in the area defending it for another day. Until I was killed by an over-reacting Roywood police officer. Finally snagged a revive in Jensentown, where I later ran into a distant cousin of DY's. :) Also complete a tour of Judgewood. Of the 14 sites visited this week, only 1 was ruined, but dagnabbit, it was a DIFFICULT ruin. Week 8 I repaired some stuff, studied some stuff, misplaced my records, got killed, and took week-long nap. They say sleep is when our brain processes what we've learned, right? Once I'm not a shambling corpse anymore, I'll try to find my logbook.
