The Ridleybank Resistance Front are noted as one of the largest active hordes in the city of Malton.
At the time of writing they have more than 900 registered members, with a daily estimated active population of 200 zombies, not including Gargon, the current RRF mascot.
The RRF are also considered by many survivors as one of the most dangerous groups in the city; since formation in late September 2005 the horde has only had two notable defeats amid many bloody victories.
To New PlayersThe RRF would like to offer a rotting hand to aid new players in the (at first glance) overwhelming world of UD. If you visit Barhah.com, you'll find a welcoming and fun as hell community to help you get adjusted to the game and help you gain experience faster than any other group around. Current Activities: EXCURSION IIITo celebrate the new year and start 2008 with a Barhah Bang, Papa Moloch announced Excursion III. The entire Ridleybank Resistance Front will be going on tour, spreading death in their quest for the tastiest brains in all Malton. Right now the Front is partying in Stanbury Village and any wandering zombah's are welcome to roll on up and share the snacks. Threads on the subject can be found in the Department of Homeland Security and Wrecking Ball forums: http://www.barhah.com/viewforum.php?f=134 http://www.barhah.com/viewforum.php?f=133 The Birth of a HordeIn late September 2005 a zombie known as Petrosjko was dismayed to find Ridleybank being used as a survivor stronghold and put out a call for fellow zombies to join in the sacking of Moggridge Place Police Department. Things quickly escalated to the point that Petrosjko declared the formation of the Ridleybank Resistance Front, a horde that would lay claim to Ridleybank as its own territory. Within a week dozens of zombies had answered the call and Ridleybank soon became known in survivor circles as the most dangerous suburb in the city, a position that still is rarely in contention. PoliciesThe Ridleybank Resistance Front is well known for banning the use of both "grey" tactics, such as spying, and outright illegal tactics, such as alt-abuse. The horde's leadership has consistently reinforced this position, from Petrosjko's original call to arms, to current, ongoing disputes with notable survivor groups.
In September 2006, Papa Patrucio publicly announced that the RRF now allows death culting. While this policy is not without controversy, the RRF takes active steps to ensure that these activities are done in an honorable way. Revives tend to be given by foolish harmanz. All RRF members must have the words "Ridleybank Resistance Front," in their profile even if they're waiting for a revive. Active death culting activity is also limited to our special ops team, The Gore Corps. Command StructureThe Ridleybank Resistance Front is a multi faceted organisation, with similarly diverse objectives. The organisational structure is (paradoxically) anarchically loose, while remaining tightly organised, meaning every member can choose to be as heavily involved as they wish. Currently the groups operations are planned by a group of elder members known as The War Council, with Moloch as the head. Originally the RRF was designed to be almost totally anarchic, however within weeks it was clear that some minor organisation would be required. First, the two groups were formed, the intention being that while one group attacked a target outside Ridleybank, the other group would remain behind, defending Ridleybank from invaders. Creation of The Department of Homeland SecurityIn early November a defensive gap began to appear, as both groups began to to be simultaneously engaged further and further away from Ridleybank, which also created problems for new, inexperienced members who struggled to keep up with the horde. In response, the Department of Homeland Security was created. Initially formed as a small group of dedicated defenders, the role of the DoHS soon expanded into that of a training program - wherein new, inexperienced members could be guided by the senior DoHS members in attacks on survivors in Ridleybank, through identifying and softening potential targets. The Evolution of the Strike TeamsAt Caiger Mall, the limitations of the horde's anarchic structure became evident, and the need for a co-ordinated element was highlighted. Towards the end of the Caiger siege talks began on creating "strike-teams", groups of RRF members who would launch a co-ordinated attack at a specific time every day. While the Caiger siege ended before many of the teams were ready, the ensuing battle for Ridleybank meant that the strike-teams saw much combat over the following weeks. Groups, Strike Teams and Black-Ops UnitsThe Wrecking BallLed by BongoBrain, The Wrecking Ball is the Ridleybank Resistance Front's expeditionary force. First formed as Group 0 in March 2006, this "master group" is comprised of a large number of horde members, absorbing the original Group 1 and Group 2 (and its mascot, Pickles the Elephant), and as such is a highly destructive force. Operating under the RRF's traditional "disorganized order" structure where targets are publicly identified and attacked (here), this organization serves to help keep the harman infestation down in Malton. The Department of Homeland SecurityUnder the nominal leadership of SomewhatDeceased, DoHS is a large, anarchic, largely self-directed horde. The Department serves two purposes. Their primary purpose is to keep Ridleybank proper harman- and barricade-free. Their secondary purpose is to supply manpower to help keep the Greater Ridleybank area dangerous for harman settlement. An unspoken third responsibility is, of course, the development of new square-dancing songs. Recently, a group of concerned Homeland Security Agents realized that many of them were playing around the same time (late evening in North America). The resulting loosely organized group has become an informal strike team going by the name TEAM AMERICA: MALTON POLICE. While behaving in a fashion that may evoke other strike teams, Team America is a crack team dedicated to directly serving the Department of Homeland Security unlike other RRF strike teams which occasionally wander off and and pantslessly mingle in areas far away from the rest of the horde. Strike Teams and Black Ops UnitsAuxunit 10Formed during the first Battle of Blackmore, Auxunit 10 is the gold-standard of RRF strike teams, eating more brains, smashing more cades and ruining more buildings than anyone else around (the shiney gold medals around our necks attest to that). Led by none other than the old school arse-kicker Pyromonkey, Auxunit 10 is proud to also count retired Papa Suskind as one of its members. The GMT Breakfast ClubFormed during the first siege of Caiger Mall, the GMT Breakfast Club is one of the longest-serving strike teams in all of the game. It is a distinct possibility that they have eaten more brains over their long tenure than any other single strike team -- after all, they're quite good at killing people. Led by the distinguished leader Distinguished, the Breaky Club still rises early and eats the brainz of harmanz too lazy to get up with the sun. The Gore CorpsFounded during the original Big Bash, the Gore Corps are the resident death cultists of the RRF. They are the bane of the existence of every harman they come across, devastating their ranks either dead or alive. They are also known for their provacative dress, pubescent fascination with sex and being the official team of RRF hottie Goolina. The Corps is currently led by Moloch and yosemiteclimber.
Retired or Disbanded Strike Teams
The Barhah BrigadeThe Barhah Brigade was, if they ever existed, the RRF's own personal black ops unit, answerable to none but Petrosjko himself. While they are incredibly secretive, they do have their own article, which contains all public knowledge (however limited) regarding the unit. If they ever did exist, they would have formed their their own horde by now. The Gray GuardComprised of retired old Ridleys, burnt out from the game but still bound to the horde by duty and friendship. These brave warriors mainly sit around a fire in Moggridge Place Police Department in the Zombie Homeland trading war stories and telling any young Zombie who will listen about the good old days, back when the brains were sweeter, the harmanz were smarter, and Petrosjko wore pants. Once a day each zombie leaves on a scouting run breaking down barricades for the cause, eating the foolish occupants (if any), and tirelessly repairing buildings back into a proper state for a zombie dwelling (With all harman friendly gear carefully recycled into works of beautiful art). Victory and Defeat: The Combat Record Of The RRFThe RRF have fought and won many battles since the groups conception, with two notable exceptions. A record of the more significant battles can be found here.
