Attention!! Limited Time Offer!!

As H.o.M. is a fairly new group to Urban Dead, we are quite small. In order to help generate interest, I'm making a limited time offer to potential recruits who are on the fence about joining.

In order to be eligible for this program, the recruit would have to be a veteran of the game who has at least one character who is level 25 or over. Ideally, this person would want to join but doesn't feel he/she has the time to develop a new character.

Well thanks to Kevan's recent updates to the functionality of the game, character trading is now an option. I've developed a number of characters up to level 15 with 200+ spare XP (to be used for Lurching Gait and Ankle Grab upon next death) and I'm willing to trade these characters in return for service to the Headbangers of Malton. These characters are well developed as survivors with matching skillsets that include:

- Advanced Pistol & Shotgun Training - Free Running - NT Lab Experience - First Aid - Diagnosis - Bargain Hunting - Body Building - Construction

And more!! Also, your character comes fully stocked with a few syringes, DNA scanner, FAK's and a buttload of ammo!

The only caveat is that these characters must remain with the group and I would prefer to at least briefly talk with the prospective recruit.

I realize there is a chance some cockbag will simply take the character and run, but that's life and I'm all about promoting the group right now.

Ask around and see if anyone is interested!

Destroying the scropion group

We were wondering if you would be intersted if you would join our group and another group (Which I forgot at this moment at time) and that group's leader's name is Hesh. We agreed that we were going to hunt down the scropian group and disband them or individual but also we are waiting for replys from Colonal Al and Johnny lunchbucket. We would hope you would like to come on this hunt and rid this city of this little bug problem if we all coordenate our attacks we could expel them from this half of the city. Further details if you accept. Your commrade in battle.--Coolo ^B! 20:47, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Why Is Pagan Idol a Douche Bag?

The answer is simple, friend: it's because he PK'd me for being a trenchcoater, then he proceeded to spraypaint his opinion of me all over Blesley. If he wasn't an illiterate mongoloid, he'd have been properly able to comprehend the sarcasm and humour in Mordac's Profile (Mordac, incidentally, was named after the Dilbert character, as opposed to some vampire in a PC RPG). I hope to find Pagan Idol someday and explain to him that he needs to improve his reading comprehension skills, but, alas, he's gone. Say, if you ever see him, feel free to forward his location to me, I'd be much obliged. --Stickman 15:26, 13 September 2006 (BST)

Friends or Foe

Well Mr. Stickman it appears that you need some buddies to come with you well fine you got them we the Black Hunter Group haven't made some people happy with our actions in Malton in the early days where we ruled mainly. But since you lost faith in our ability to survive the most horrible conditions for example when the Big Bash came to us at Kinch Heights when we were converted from our "old" ways and we defended the last strand of the Kinch Heights we could but lost many buildings to this. We finally saw that we should run from the scene of the PD station being broken into in order for us to survive. As of the events we just want to be friends of those who protect and serve our suburbs not enemies since this happened many zombie groups have targeted us and mainly PKer groups are too. I have made my mark on the Church of the Resurrection for spying on them and gaining info and getting spammed from them into oblivion or just having alot of bad things saying non barney sayings to us for that. Well, do you want our help as friends or not this is the question we ask... send me an answer to my talk page. --Coolo 02:34, 23 July 2006 (BST)

Look, could you please not make so many spelling and grammatical mistakes? –Xoid ^S•T•FU! 15:17, 23 July 2006 (BST)

Play nice, Xoid. Not everyone has such a gifted command of the English language.--Stickman 17:59, 23 July 2006 (BST)

I thought I was. I could easily have given both barrels or honoured him with the 'prestigious' {{speling}} template. (Yes, there is a reason that that is mispelt. Just check it out if you're interested.) Regardless, could he have at least spared me the red links? (Red links go onto the "pages wanted" special page. I love hunting them down, but hate seeing new ones get created. Kind of paradoxical when you think about it.)

Anyway, good luck with that endeavour. You are going to need it. –Xoid ^S•T•FU! 06:32, 24 July 2006 (BST)

Fair enough. I guess a little flaming now and then builds character.--Stickman 18:59, 24 July 2006 (BST)

Hehe I had a red page lol Coolo was its name and well...I was quiet new to the wiki and very stupid to it and lucky for me I got one lol check it out on my talk page I even got the ever sorted after speling template hehe heres my link --Coolo 07:41, 27 August 2006 (BST)

Staying in Lovely Gulsonside?

As we were both recently served al dente to the Big Bash, I am curious if you intend to help rebuild Gulsonside after the horde moves on. It would be nice to have some active wiki people stay in town. If you do decide to move on, good luck and thanks for all your help! --Sanshiro 01:59, 10 August 2006 (BST)

Revive point

Thanks for letting me know, Durand got too crowded and I am now at Waite Plaza, I did not see your message till now. If you want I can shamble back to a spot of your choosing; just let me know on my talk page. --Sanshiro 14:03, 12 August 2006 (BST)

I received a revive just moments ago; I will assume it was you. I am going to lay low until I am fully rested as I need to reload; of course, I have a certain zed to deal with that ZK'd me while I was standing there... Thanks again, and let me know where you want to hole up. Once rested, I will concentrate on learning to use a syringe, and then rest up and make a revive run on my contacts. Speaking of which, here is mine for future reference: http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=603818 --Sanshiro 01:13, 13 August 2006 (BST)

I will shamble your way, but as I lack 'lurching gait' it will be a few days. This assumes I am not ZK'd again, which will slow me further. I think I will just rest at revive points until I am there. On a lighter note, I saw a survivor nearby so lurched over to him and said 'Mrh?'; unfortunately he was level one Scout and could not help and just went "Whoa!!!" I simply went 'Grh' and went back to the cemetary. He disappeared quickly after that. --Sanshiro 01:56, 15 August 2006 (BST)

Wyke Hills

Well, I am finally here. I am at the cemetery besides Buckley, but I am not alone; quite a crowd here. I will wait my turn, but do let me know if there is a more active revive point. Best of luck with the zeds! --Sanshiro 02:49, 17 August 2006 (BST)

I was revived the other day and I have been concentrating on securing Buckley by darting from St. D's and checking barricade levels. Thanks again for the offer, though. I did not recognize too many others in Wyke Hills; I think most of our compatriots are still in Gulsonside or Osmondville. Either place will require us to build up a decent revive team and head up; though I need to train more before I can use syringes. I am debating putting up a page dedicated to the reclamation of Gulsonside; we may need to do so to organize; i.e. list known PK-er's that should not be revived, and concentrate on getting the newer players battle ready. I will make a further Wyke Hills announcement on the main two pages and see if we can get more down here. With Buckley nearly secured and the Bash going in the other direction, we should be able to re-organize. --Sanshiro 19:33, 18 August 2006 (BST)

Where do I and my group sign up for this organization?--Coolo 07:35, 27 August 2006 (BST)

August 27, 2006 OK, 1st of all, the 'cade plan at Buckley Mall (our rally point) is completely goofed up. I got stuck outside without an entry point, had to sleep in the street for 15 minutes, and woke up dead. Not a good way to start the morning.

I got messages from Stickman and Cooloo. They are ready to move out the the NE -- which is good because according to the logs the mall should be ready for us to move in and defend again. Before getting killed, I recon'd 3 blocks NE of Screech Lane PD (Knight Square 95,56) before running into resistance. The area revive points are empty at the moment, except for me (waiting at St Emilias, 98,52). Let's make our 1st stop on the way back at Ephrem General Hospital (93, 58) -- it should be at VS, will put us within easy reach of a few revive points, and give us spare AP to backtrack if things go bad. Stop and get me on the way up, will you? Colonel al 20:36, 27 August 2006 (BST)

Back to Buckley?

Hey, I had just enough AP to revive you and get to a safehouse as the firestation has fallen. I am heading back to Buckley, I recommend you just lay there until you are fully rested and join me. The mall is overrun, so I think we should regroup at Buckley. See you there in a day or two. --Sanshiro 15:03, 29 August 2006 (BST)

I was alive, but I made the mistake of sleeping in an EHB NT building; I woke up dead and outside. I have shambled to the Hollomstown cemetery at 66, 92. However, I will shamble towards Buckley once I have rested up. I would appreciate a revive, but it would probably be best to wait until I am in Wyke again. Thanks! Oh, and I have a plan to retake Blesly and secure the needed numbers; I think we need to set 'waypoints', and not head to the next one until enough have gathered at the first. For example, we use a warehouse as wp#1; once 15-20 survivors are there, we tag the location of the next, and slowly make our way to Gulsonside, sleeping along the way. This will be slow going, but once I have some likely locations I will see about making a formal posting. In the meantime I intend to reload [I am completely out] and train some more. --Sanshiro 14:57, 30 August 2006 (BST)

Gulsonside rush coordination

I'm regrouping our people now. I think within a week we can send four or five experienced players with syringes plus one or two rookies. I'll try also to bring some random survivors from Pole Mall. Do you agree with 7 Sept as the date for the rush? --Doc Groucho 14:55, 31 August 2006 (BST)

I can probably round up 3-5 survivors with syringes, maybe more. You should definitely contact Johnny_Lunchpail and the U.S. ARMY INFANTRY before commiting to any launch date, as I believe they have the largest numbers. As such, coordinating with them is our best hope. --Stickman 15:29, 31 August 2006 (BST)

I have arrived at Blesley and more are behind me. Colonel al 3 Sept

Thanks

Thanks for you help and cooperation. Hopefully we'll get to work together again. If you need help in the future you know we have your back. Johnny Lunchpail 04:44, 12 September 2006 contact (BST)

And I thank you, Johnny, and everyone else. It was great to be a part of something that will be written in the history books of Gulsonside.--Stickman 21:49, 12 September 2006 (BST)

Mordac

Before Mordac turns completely into a meat popsicle; I would like to invite him to be a member of U.S. ARMY INFANTRY. He wouldn't have to attend BOOT CAMP as I would vouch you past it; in fact you would be the first person to join and automatically receive two medals (those that were given to the Blesley mall campaign soldiers). Give it a thought, we could use a Sargeant Mordac Johnny Lunchpail 06:57, 16 September 2006 (BST)

That actually sounds pretty good. I accept your offer. What's the first step?--Stickman 06:16, 18 September 2006 (BST)

Register on the board as Sargeant Mordac and I will set you up. Combat Ops are really rough re-AP in giddyings mall before heading to the area of operations. You will see on the board wheer TACHQ is setup. Johnny Lunchpail 18:55, 18 September 2006 (BST)

Scartletwood, next?

16 Sept 2006 We have declared victory at Blesley Mall. Thanks to everybody involved (see Stickman's master list at the Blesley Mall discussion page). Just a few more things to do, like make sure that fuel, gens, and transmitters are in place, then I'll start thinking about Scartletwood. Probably the 1st thing on the agenda is to make sure Zacharias General Hospital (72,79) is back in operation -- the last time I was in Scarletwood, this Gulsonside hospital was full of zeds and weary survivors from the attempted Scarletwood/Greyside border defense. Any chance I can get a few of you to come with me? Colonel al

Need Help at Zacharias

28 Sept 2006 I am at Zacharias General Hospital (72,79) and am running into issues regarding the Creek NT Building to the NW. Those of us running the hospital have discovered that the zeds outside Creek are bots of some sort. Every time we close a door, it opens back up again and we get flooded with zeds. It has happened too many times for it to be a coincidence. I'm headed back to Blesley Mall to round up reinforcements and a transmitter. We could use some help. Colonel al

Scorpion Group

Well Stickman it appears that we both have a passion to destroy the scropian group and so thats why i'm asking for you too go looking and disband them. We have all the Gulsonside black hunters going there to help out with the bug problem also we would like it if you would come with us and take out Gulsonside's most wanted group at the moment. I messeged Colonal Al and Johnny Lunchbox about and still waiting for them to answer me. Further details later if you accept. Your commrade in battle.--Coolo ^B! 20:41, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm in vinetown right now waiting to get some AP and I have recieved word that lizardcoolz and one more black hunter is in or near pitney bank right now too. Also we are coordenating our efforts to sieze and destroy the scropion group but for now send word when you reach pitney bank. I'll be getting to have fun with the little bug problem myself oh if your wondering who the group leader is it is Hesh --Coolo ^B! 11:22, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm on the west side of the NW corner of Giddings Mall just looking for Hesh and those scropions around I think I just made a lifetime enemy since i just killed scropionBob and Neilthescropion just a few minutes ago. We need to find the other two and make sure they don't get revieved and we keep killing them as zombies. Also my whereabouts is now a warehouse on the east side of the mall where i found Neilthescorpion hiding heh silly little pk'er.--Coolo ^B! 03:01, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Looks like we have a pk'er in the suberb watch out for mrandmrs hes a pk'er and he attacked me another black hunter since a group is targeting us again. Just a little heads on your part incase you see him around just kill him...oh and well looks like you got a lady friend...or as i looked them up(shudders) but anyways I believe i can help you or well...them with this pk'er problem since this suberb is infested with them--Coolo ^B! 03:53, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

At least three members of the Scorpion Group are in/around Lockettside. How do I know this? I've killed them.  :) I've been taunting Neil (the only one I HAVEN'T killed lately) and he hasn't responded, but I don't know if the Group is still here or not. I'm willing to bet they are, tho. They're not going to leave without payback. -Bskrobot 05:29, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

• Yup, they've killed me twice in the last day. -Bskrobot 14:30, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

• Neil is in Locketside at the mall!

• Neil is still here and so is Bob. Neil's killed me twice in the last few days. -Bskrobot 18:34, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Making A Forum?

Since I just got your messege I don't really have a forum or anything but you know some people who do or at least know where those websites are I believe. If you have any suggestions on the problem please give me a yak on it or we can always use Johnny_lunchpail's forum if we just ask him nicely about it.--Coolo ^B! 19:35, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Hmm

NORMALLY, I would respond with the usual "F*ck you, We'll do as we please", but in this case, you have a point. That WAS a pretty trencher profile on ourside, and yours reminded me more of Orville Redenbaucher, the popcorn dude, so yeah. I'll talk to Senor noobcakes, and work something out. You need a revive?

ShinobiSlider 03:30, 16 May 2007 (BST)

Gee, I do recall saying that he never properly finished the job. Yup, he screwed the pooch on quite possibly the easiest thing in this game: killing an immobile target. What a failure. I guess you could re-read that portion of my finely-crafted diatribe, but you erased it in a very unceremonious way. But that's okay. I'll repost it here for posterity:

Fantastic!! Another Group of Profile Snobs! (Erased from the talk page of The Malton Bounty Emo Killers Tsk Tsk.) Hey guys, I just wanted to congratulate you on the fresh and innovative idea of killing people based on your whether or not you like their profile! That's never been done before! Ever!! Kudos for having the aesthetic scruples to tell other people how to RP and design their characters. Wow! I really respect that! You guys are soooooo l337!!! lol!!11!!1!!!!!!!111 Oh, you got me: yes, that was sarcasm. Well now that the cat's outta the bag, here's a little friendly advice: improve your reading comprehension skills. A member of yours by the name of Danny Hilliard attempted to PK my character Agent 13 (that's right, he wasn't even man enough to finish the job, the sorry little puke). I then proceeded to demonstrate the correct method of killing someone, or as I like to call it "The Follow Through". Now you might want to enforce a higher standard when selecting your members for two very important reasons: 1 - You claim to run an anti-trenchcoater group, yet Danny's profile has him wearing military desert camo. Oh and he's got "hollow" eyes. A little bit hypocritical if you ask me. Don't worry, I PK'ed his ass for your cause. Just for arguement's sake here's his profile: Hollow blue eyes and a sloppy blonde high and tight. Desert MARPAT trousers and Marvin the Martian T-shirt. Two parallel lines drawn from forehead to chin with axle grease. - Danny Hilliard Now here's mine: A wide brimmed hat hides most of his spectacled face in shadow. His beige Armani trenchcoat is cinched at the waist with a belt that holds two revolvers. You start to ask him his name but he's already gone. I mean, come on! He looks like Inspector Gadget and he has great taste in clothing labels. Hey Danny-Boy, just because the word "trenchcoat" appears in a profile doesn't mean that player is a "trenchcoater". But you get an "A" for effort. No wait, you couldn't even kill me properly, so you get an "S" for "Suck it". Mongoloid. 2 - It makes your group look really bad to have members demonstrating the reading comprehension level of a dirty turnip. Now with that said, I do hope you have a chat with Danny-Boy, and you get him to bring his profile up to snuff. I mean, yeah, the definition of a "trenchcoater" is very open to interpretation and all, but I think he fits the classic profile of a trenchcoater, and that's just a conflict of interest for you and your group. Oh what the hell, why not just disband altogether? Your group is about as inspiring as a fresh cat turd. If you'd like to learn more about why you are a bunch of ignorant, elitist cockbags, follow this link: Why You Suck Feel free to respond with agreements and praise. I know - I am awesome. But please leave your comments right here on your talk page so I can more readily ignore them. Oh, what's that? Your up for some kind of James Earl Jones award? I guess it's true - the UD Wiki has become a playground for self-important shitheads who have nothing better to do than play grab-ass all day. Darwin was wrong. It seems to be survival of the horde-mentality. Well I guess that's it. Good luck with your member search! Wait! Is that the sound of prospective recruits? "Baaaaa. Baaaaaa. Baaaaaa." Yup sure is! Well I'll leave you to collect your sheep- I mean, soldiers. Yawn. It's Just a Game, Douche-Bag This User Is Sick Of The Word "Trenchcoater" and The Attitude That It Represents --Stickman 17:35, 15 May 2007 (BST)

Hey Trenchy!

Let's start some drama! Are you so lazy that you have to make such a lame profile? I mean, feth, Armani is soooo 2006. Prada is, like, better...duuuuuh...And do you get your kicks whining at some group? If it's just a game (like your giant fething template says) then big deal if they shoot you a few times, right?--Lachryma^☭ 05:37, 16 May 2007 (BST)

Well, to clarify: I believe it's a very small matter indeed to be PK-ed. Revives are not hard to come by when you are a member of one of the larger groups, and I don't think I was "whining" for that purpose. I just wanted to flame them for not being able to properly carry out such a simple task - to kill a human as a human. No barricades to overcome, no sense of impending danger, just pop pop and it's over. But he couldn't even manage to do that properly.

I also wanted to point out the discrepancies between Daniel's profile and their group mandate, as well as to properly voice my disdain for profile elitists. And why shouldn't I? They openly show their disdain for whoever they want! Yes, it is just a game, and I don't need some incompetent oaf telling me that my profile isn't up to his standards. I couldn't give a nun's fart whether you, they, or anyone else approves of my profile (and on a sidenote, your profile isn't exactly Shakespeare either, so that's a little like the pot calling the kettle black). And if they want to PK me for it, go ahead. But just be prepared for some well deserved flaming if you manage to botch it up. Hell I'll flame either way, they're the ones who chose to play as griefers. You can't go around PK'ing people and not expect some kind of response! What, are we so PC now that we can't even mock the mockers? Turnaround is fair play, and if I ruined someone's day with my "drama", then maybe they should find a new line of work. I figured griefers would be a little more fun than that.

As far as I'm concerned, if you are going to be a PK'er, then be ready and able to deal with a little flaming. I may be long winded and sometimes a little abrasive, but griefers are just asking to be flamed, and it's so much bloody fun to rub their faces in it when they screw up. So yes, I do get kicks from flaming those that have chosen to be my opponents. Show me a more formidable opponent and I'll heap the praise on them. This incident was worthy of no more than derision.

--Stickman 15:47, 16 May 2007 (BST)

Wow, I got that much of a response from you? I was expecting a "Piss off, I don't know you, I can do what I feel like!" but instead I got a lot more stuff...intriguing. Anyway, I was just joking. I'm almost never serious. Also, I made the Anti-Emo leader apologize to you (sorta) on their talk page. Perhaps you should take a look at that. Moving along, I save my creative writing skillz for my wiki page and not my profile, but I am vaguely annoyed by that insulting side note of yours. It's okay...he's just some random fool on the internets...okay, I'm cool now. Well, nice to meet you!--Lachryma^☭ 00:09, 17 May 2007 (BST)

Hey like I said, I'm long-winded and I can be abrasive. What can i say, I love to hear myself talk. But I didn't know you were joking. It sounded to me like you were also passing judgment, and that's just the problem with not being able to see the person you are talking to, you never know if they are kidding or just being a butthead. Wow, you got him to apologize?! I gotta see this for myself!--Stickman 02:35, 17 May 2007 (BST)

Never mind, I just noticed he already posted that thing up on your talk page...sorry for raising your hopes...Also, I'm perfectly happy with being misunderstood on the Internet. It makes life interesting.--Lachryma^☭ 02:37, 17 May 2007 (BST)

Well he did repost my comments. I don't know what you said to him, but it must have been motivational. Well met, Comrade! На здрове!! --Stickman 02:45, 17 May 2007 (BST)

You speak Russian? That's cool...it's a little sad I don't, but oh well. Anyway, you can look at his talk page if you wanna see my words of wisdom.--Lachryma^☭ 02:55, 17 May 2007 (BST)

Actually, I don't speak Russian, my wife does. I only picked up a few things. And I apparently misspelled that, according to my wife. Oh well, I tried. --Stickman 03:13, 25 May 2007 (BST)

Hey, Prick!

If it's just a game why do you care what people call you, douche-bag. Mr. Can't-Sign-Right

While I'm sure that must have sounded really poignant in your head, your argument is sorely lacking in something. Oh, that's it! Intelligence. Look shitbag: I can flame any dumb asshole I want whose only purpose is to interfere with my game. Much like a person who teamkills in a multiplayer FPS, it's a form of disruptive play. But you know what? That isn't even really the point. I don't give a tin shit if some asshat decides to PK me for "x" reason. Go ahead. I'll get a quick revive and try to get you back the next time I see you. It is, after all, just a game.

But just like rival teams in real life, I like to get in the face of my opponent. If it's acceptable for certain groups to play as griefers and post inflammatory opinions about players like me, then why shouldn't I, as their opponent, give them a little of the same? Why shouldn't I flame them and mock them, especially when they fail their own mandates? Much like the way I'm crushing you verbally right now, I enjoy flaming the opponent. And I will continue to do so. Just please, next time try to bring something a little better to the table. Your comment was inane, poorly thought out, and completely bereft of wit. Namely, if you had read any of the comments posted right above your own, you would have seen that I've already answered that question. Learn to fucking read.

Ultimately, it's my fucking opinion and I have every right to throw it in their face, as they do to me and players like me any chance they get. It's called rivalry and if you're going to be a pussy about it, maybe text-based games are a little too "extreme" for you. Try taking up needlepoint. I hear the old ladies at the bingo hall are all real nice to talk to. Bitch. --Stickman 00:50, 25 May 2007 (BST)

Now that's the kind of response I was looking for. Mr. Can't-Sign-Right

Happy to oblige, see you on the field. --Stickman 03:10, 25 May 2007 (BST)

Please... please... please... do not start an edit war. I re-reverted (?!?) back to TSG's edit because he made the right call. The second half of your entry was in no way NPOV and did not belong in the news. It was a wonderful piece of prose... but it belongs on a user page or a group page. Sorry. --WanYao 19:24, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Just for the sake of continuity (I'm a little OC like that) here is my response to this, which was posted on the above user's talk page:

Sigh. I am not starting an "edit war". I merely wanted an explanation as to why my entry was being massacred. I personally disagree with your assessment that it is NPOV. It is a little over the top (see: Shatner), but the fact that there is a dedicated group of survivors who have been fighting off various zed offensives for a long time and the fact that we will not give up is the truth, and it is news. When people are posting in the MIC that they have no idea what's going on in Gulsonside since Oct 16, clearly people need to hear what things are happening. Pardon me for being a little more colourful of in my execution of "the news". It does not invalidate the truth in what I am saying, nor was it irrelevant. As a zombie, I would like to hear what my breakfast thinks. As a survivor, I would like to know that my efforts are appreciated. I'm just not sure how and when the suburb news pages became so strict. Back in the day I always used to post nonsense like that up on the suburb pages, and I wasn't the only one. It's been a long time since I've bothered posting anything on these pages, but today I thought, "Just for old times sake". So when did it become unacceptable to show a little finesse in writing? --Stickman 19:41, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

I never said you started an edit war. I was pleading, let's not start an edit war, here... I guess if anyone was being at all provocative, it was actually me... But anyway... here is the text that got deleted. Let us preserve it for posterity:

"It seems like the fighting will never end; the humans are now like zombies in their own right. We keep dying and getting back up to fight on. Though an average man would find himself more and more like the enemy he fights with each passing day, as if a part of himself remained dead with every empty syringe, we are not your average survivors. We have held out through months of attacks. We've retreated, retaken, and rebuilt and we'll do it again. Each new attack only strengthens our resolve. We who have called Gulsonside our home for so long will fight for every inch of ground! We will never surrender!!"

I try not to be some kind of NPOV nazi, and personally I have defended an amount, and done my share of, "editorialising" on the News pages. But that is rather over-the-top, you have to admit it. Hell, even if you had kept the wording third person... "The Headbangers of Malton (with hyperlink!!), leading the way with the other survivors of Gulsonside, have held out against three months of relentless zombie attacks -- retreating, retaking and rebuilding their homes every time." That, for example... IMO that would be fine. And if anyone tried to delete something like that, hell, I'd take up the fight on your side...

Anyway, I chose to back up TGS's edit... And I chose to explain why... But if you wanna put it up again, I will not re-revert it. I do suggest making a News section for your group. You can put ANYTHING you want there and no one can touch it... And if you can come up with more stuff like that... sheesh... I mean, hey, you inspired me to possibly send an alt down to help out in Gulsonide! As I said, it' was propaganda... :) WanYao 22:13, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

For the record I agree that it was over the top. I said so myself (see above). And I can't deny the Surgeon General's line of rationality insofar as his strict adherence to the code of NPOV (see his talk page), I just think there's a difference between writing comments that are inflammatory and writing for the sake of entertainment. Are there really players out there who would complain about this sort of post? I mean, this is a game, right? Where's the fun in dryly relaying the statistical events of the day? Of course my post was laden with propaganda. It was meant to be. It was also meant to be equally entertaining to all parties and non-offensive.

Honestly, I've read some very biased comments in the past by role-playing characters of both sides and I find it harmless and entertaining, providing it represents what is truly happening in the suburb. The wiki used to be a place where zombie and human could come together to taunt and inspire each other in true role-playing fashion. You suggest putting posts of that nature on my own talk page? Really, now, who is going to see that? I am not an Urban Dead icon. Players do not hang off my every word. Despite being a veteran of the game, I've stayed more or less below the radar, as thousands of other veterans have as well. As such, why would anyone come to read Guslonside news on my personal talk page? They wouldn't. The most logical place for a motivational speech to the people in Gulsonside is on the Gulsonside page. Obviously the UDwiki has evolved in my absence and this is no longer acceptable. This new policy seems stuffy to me, and a tad too politically correct for my tastes, and it must be a new policy because we had free reign to write what we wanted in the past.

I appreciate your response, and (the?) Surgeon General's. You were helpful and polite. I will not, however, attempt to re-edit my original post any further. I don't feel one should have to put that much thought into role-playing, it's supposed to be fun. Overtly volatile or misleading posts should be edited, anything else should be left alone. That is my opinion, but clearly I am not in a position to do anything about it. Thank you for your time.--Stickman 03:34, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

You're Captain Mordac?

I love coincidence!

I'm sure you've been noticing a certain Immortal Ace griefing The Real Stickman. Immortal Ace is an alt of my, V Crone, a former USAI member currently in Red Rum.

Small world, eh? Happy hunting.

Small world indeed. I've responded more fully on the Headbangers talk page, and I've issued a challenge as well. You've seen what me and my Headbangers can do, now let's see what you can do.--Stickman 19:41, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
