====September 21<sup>st</sup>====
Approximately 37 zombies outdoors, with a further 11 counted indoors (10 in the Blackmore Building), makes for an estimated 48 zombies total in the suburb.  Given the mass ruination of the area (only 2 hospitals out of the 14 [[Tactical Resource Point]]s are not ruined), this appears to qualify as a Ghost Town, given the danger level descriptions.  As such, and without any other evidence to go on, I'm changing the danger level. --<span style="font-size:90%">[[User:Funt Solo|Funt Solo]]</span> <sup style="font-size:70%">[[Mod_Conspiracy|QT]]</sup> [[Image:Scotland flag.JPG|18px]] 22:54, 21 September 2008 (BST)

This is not a ghost town.  Shoppers from the newly opened Nichols Mall are moving into the area and making it look nice. Also, the group of zombies in and around Blackmore qualify as a horde. --[[User:Ronny Billcraft|Ronny Billcraft]] 01:38, 22 September 2008 (BST)

Most buildings ruined, lots of zombies, the usual stuff. However, to ratify its place in the pro-survivor grouplist in Ridleybank, the Umbrella Corporation has send a small strike force, which managed to retake and lighten up the Blackmore Building.

Survivors have started to fight in Ridleybank, though there is no real leadership. Headway is being made and the Blackmoore building recently returned to survivor hands. Though it's doubtful how long it will last. USAI (AWOL) Officer Conrad

It is no longer safe to travel through Ridleybank. As of this post there was a single standing hospital but no one should venture there. There was a horde of a dozen zombies outside with an unconfirmed amount of survivors inside.

::: I've got a report to the same effect- the only building in town which isn't in great shape is St. George's Hospital, and the largest group of zombies is 17 strong (probably more like 30, once some of the 27 nearby bodies stand up).

===April 2008===

; April 30
: There are 13 zombies outside the Blackmore right now. Which means Ridely's ''technically'' not a ghost town... But that group outside the Blackmore is the only substantial mob in the whole suburb. In total I counted, still, just over 40 zombies in the streets. Meanwhile, though much of the south side is 'cade strafed or better, most of the north is ruined; in total, well over 1/2 the burb is ruined... --[[User:WanYao|WanYao]] 03:21, 30 April 2008 (BST)

; April 27
: Despite the previous report, the Blackmore is powered and EHB and has been for a couple days, now. The kilt-wearing survivors inside have been exposing themselves at the handful of zombies that are in the area before opening fire. I'm not sure in what world 45 zombies in an entire suburb qualifies as "Very Dangerous," but despite the relatively low survivor presence, much of the southern half of the suburb is now barricaded to at least some degree or another. --[[User:Gregory|Gregory]] 02:03, 28 April 2008 (BST)
::Sorry, but I just made a scout, blackmore is the only powered building, apart from that at least 2/3rd of the suburb is ruined. I'm taking this back to red. [[User:The man|The man]] 16:50, 28 April 2008 (BST)
:::Using that formula, I updated it to ghost town. There are fewer than sixty zombies, and the largest horde (outside the NT) is six.

:It would seem that in a mass effort to survive from the wrath of the dead, a huge number of survivors have managed to sneak their way into Ridleybank unnoticed! In fact, every single building is now powered and barricaded! The RRF are simply stunned at how this could posibly have happened! its incredible, its unbelievable, its April fools muthaf**ka!!!! [[User:The man|The man]] 15:50, 1 April 2008 (BST)
::Though not every building is powered as of this report survivors seem to have established a beachhead in Ridleybank. With More and more suburbs going red maybe it's time humans turn this zombie hometown into a bastion of hope for those survivors who are beginning to lose hope.

===March 2008===

; March 26th
: I happened to have a disposable alt in Ridleybank, so I took him on an extensive tour of the borough. The alt doesn't have memories of life, so I couldn't go inside some buildings... Still, I only counted only about 50 zomies -- including 9 inside the Blackmore, the only large concentration of zombiews in the area. And I went ''all over'' the suburb. '''And''' I took pictures...

:The Second [[Battle of Blackmore]] is entering a new phase. Survivors are losing people at an increasing rate and the zombies outside are organized into strike teams that are proving extremely effective, getting through the doors in groups as large as 30 while survivor numbers are too low to throw them out quickly. At least 50 survivors have been killed today alone and it's unclear how many will be revived before the zombies strike again tomorrow. There are currently 230 zombies outside Blackmore and 120 survivors- as well as 30 zombies- inside.

:Also, the revive zone has been moved inside St. Theo's church, due to popular demand and general tactics which, given the above, will hopefully serve a purpose.

Zombie spirits are reported to be high, and expected to rise as survivor numbers increase.

::If you like exact numbers, There are 219 survivors inside [[the Blackmore Building]], and several more throughout the area. Zombie numbers are un-known, however break-ins are extremely frequent, and I really don't recommend staying inside the building.

: Sadly, I must confirm the fall of Blackmore. After a two-day trek from Giddings, I arrived to find no standing humans. Instead there were 189 zombies wandering around the lobby and cubicles smashing anything they could get their claws on. I high-tailed it out of there before they noticed me and I am now searching north for some survivors. It is with an extremely heavy heart that I bear this news... 

::PS- i too wandered north after the fall of Blackmore in search of more survivors. My search was motivated more by hunger and a desire for fresh brain than charity, and as for heart, well... it hasn't pumped in a week.  Regardless, my point is that the north up to Roachtown appears (to me) to be just as devoured as Blackmore. But if you hold still reefmaster, i can take care of those guilt issues with a little undeadness!

However, nearby buildings are reportedly ''also'' under attack, now: the Rogers Building northeast of Blackmore was attacked with more than 20 survivor casualties. This could suggest new coordination among the attacking hordes.

*'''October 10th, 2006'''
:The Ridleybank Resistance Front seems to have ceased organized opposition to the survivors in the Blackmore Building.  Ferals continue to make many small break-ins, and the zombie pack outside Blackmore is near 300 again.

*'''October 8th, 2006'''
:As of this message time, there are 280 standing zeds outside of blackmore, 200 more on the ground, 50 in the revive point, and another 25 in the other 7 surrounding squares. Discontent and hunger among the hordes have led to widespread zombie on zombie combat.

*'''October 5th, 2006'''
:More than 300 zombies now stand outside the [[Blackmore Building]], which is defended by almost 200 survivors holed up within. Barricade strength is highly variable, with small breakins occurring fairly frequently. The revive queues around the battle reportedly continue to lengthen, but the number of survivors defending Blackmore is apparently increasing, and a contingent from [[Caiger Mall]] is said to be arriving to help.

:Over night the population has risen an additional 30 or 40 survivors to exactly 210 survivors inside Blackmore, and it would seem that the arrive200 and most of the [[BBB]] have been hard at work with zombies down just as many to 284 outside. The battle seems to only be heating up with nearly hourly breakins ranging from 2 to 10 zombies at each attempt but the survivors continue to valiently hold with no foreseeable end in sight for this historic seige, now being chronicled by the [[Channel 4 News Team]] as the [[Battle of Blackmore]].

*'''October 4th, 2006'''
:Approximately 300 zombies stand outside the [[Blackmore Building]], with 170+ survivors inside. At least 60 zombies are reportedly standing in review queues, while survivor reinforcements are rumored to be arriving from [[Caiger Mall]] and [[Tynte Mall]].

*'''October 3rd, 2006'''
:A significant zombie incursion into Blackmore occurred this morning; reports put its strength at between 35 and 40 zombies. The break-in was repelled within a few hours; survivor numbers afterwards were, according to various reports, between 110 and 160. Approximately 260 zombies now stand outside Blackmore.

===September 2006===

*'''September 30th, 2006''' 
:The [[NMC]] has expanded its revive zone to include Margery Ave ''as well as'' Gunningham Walk [54, 49] and Phillips Road [55, 45].  The old system of having one revive zone has gone all to hell with rotters clogging it and people sacnning the whole stack for XP.  This new system is effective immediately and will hopefully alleviate some of the stress on the Margery line, which is over 50 people long.
*'''September 30th, 2006''' 
:There are 148 survivors inside Blackmore, 217 zombies outside, and 230 corpses, 9 of which have been revived. At Margery there are up to 2 survivors, 45 zombies, and 64 corpses, 56 of which have been revived. More than 700 combatants...

:There are 185 Classy survivors inside Blackmore, 230 zombies outside, and 30 survivors on line at Margery Ave, waiting for a revive.  --[[User:Ron Burgundy|Ron Burgundy]] 23:51, 28 September 2006 (BST)
*'''September 27th, 2006''' 
:The [[Battle of Blackmore]] is getting at its height. It's more than five weeks now that the [[Blackmore Bastard Brigade]] has occupied [[the Blackmore Building]], and there's a lot of fighting going on. The zombie numbers have risen sharply last days, and as I speak there's 228 zombies standing outside of the building. The survivors still hold, however, and show no sign of tiring nor of a bad mood.

*'''September 21st, 2006''' 
:More than a month collecting late fees on behalf of the Quartly Library. It seems like the Goldrush nowadays, everybody acts like it's the wild west. I wish they'd go ahead and verify the new more dangerous level for suburbs, because I'd update Ridleybank to Uber-dangerous.

*'''September 20th, 2006''' 
:A member of Disciples Of Jame Gumb is moving into the area with his van to see what the story is, and the skin texture is at the blackmore building and the surrounding buildings. You will all see him soon. It puts the lotion in the basket.[[User:Cineraryone|Cineraryone]] 00:58, 21 September 2006 (BST) 
*'''September 16th, 2006''' 
:A short, colorful history of events in the [[Battle of Blackmore]] is now on the wiki.  I'm sure most people will agree the fight is one for the history books- after all, if that were not the case, it wouldn't have made as much of a stir as it has- and now it's in them!  The [[Battle of Blackmore]] is ongoing, so there will, no doubt, be frequent changes and updates are welcome.

*'''September 14, 2006''' 
:There are currently 173 survivors inside [[the Blackmore Building]], with 175 zombies standing outside and 17 zombies standing at the revive point. [[Red Rum]] seems to be active in the area too.  30 or so survivors seem to have fallen back to help defend [[Nichols Mall]], which is under attack by some 70 zombies.

:Standing zombies are down to 103, while the ranks of survivors swell to 170; it's but a matter of time now before all of Ridleybank is in survivor hands.
*'''September 3, 2006''' 
:There are 113 standing zombies sieging the [[the Blackmore Building]] and 137 survivors defending the building inside. A couple of rotters on the [[Margery Avenue (Ridleybank)|Margery Avenue]] has been sighted too. There is a very weak zombie presence in the other areas of the [[Suburb]], mainly because of the [[Big Bash]].
*'''September 1, 2006''' 
:Outside [[the Blackmore Building]] stand 125 zombies.  Inside wait 130 survivors.  Survivor morale is stated to be high, as many inside the Blackmore have survived sieges with odds worse than they're facing right now.  This is highlighted by the ten fold increase in survivors over the last few days.

===August 2006===

*'''August 31, 2006'''  
:The survivors inside the Blackmore Building, now dubbed the [[Blackmore Bastard Brigade]], are still holding the building. The Zombies are groaning in frustration outside the barricades.  All survivors in the area are invited to this very classy party.

*'''August 30, 2006''' 
:The Apocalypse Horde has made their presence known in Ridleybank, not as zombies but as humans who attack the survivors who are defending the Blackmore Building.  Survivors are warned to be on the look out for them while residing in Ridleybank. 

*'''August 29, 2006''' 
:There are now a full 100 Zombies directly outside the Blackmore Building.  Barricades are at full, but there are frequent break-ins.

*'''August 27, 2006''' 
:Every C4NT member in the Blackmore Building was sentenced to death for not adhering to the "No Barricades" law in Ridleybank by a local RRF strike team. Proof would be everyone inside the Blackmore Building at the time that had Channel 4 News Team in their group affiliation was killed. Therefore all C4NT members in Blackmore Building were killed.

::Over 80 zombies now siege the Blackmore building with the rest of the suburb relatively lightly threatened by scattered zombies.

*'''July 18, 2006'''
:After a full sweep of the suburb there are no survivors and no barricades.

*'''July 17, 2006'''
:The [[MPD]] announces that the proximity of the [[Big Bash]] to [[Shearbank]], [[Roachtown]] and Ridleybank warranted a general evacuation from these suburbs.  Members of the [[DEM]] made announcements to as many pockets of survivors as they could to facilitate the evacuation.

*'''July 15, 2006'''
:The [[Power For The People]] group has managed overnight to light up several buildings in Ridleybank.

*'''July 14, 2006'''
:[[Power For The People]] is said to have once again powered the [[The Blackmore Building|Blackmore]] [[Necrotech building|NT]] building in Ridleybank. However the ransacked building is currently occupied by three zombies with no generator in sight.

*'''July 13, 2006'''
:The [[Channel 4 News Team]] has left the area, stating that "the smell of Desire (is) growing stronger in Ackland."  They have announced plans to return, "after showing the folks in the [[Big Bash]] just how good they look."

===June 2006===
*'''June 23, 2006'''
:The CC operation was, according to [[The Cannonball Crew]] "in fact a trick to lure the [[RRF]] into defending Ridleybank instead of [[Barrville]]. Only a handful of Cannonballs ever entered the suburb, but along with unaffiliated survivors and a mystery group (who prefers not to be named), the humans were able to barricade a good portion of the suburb."  Zombies have been seen tearing down the recently erected barricades and [[The Cannonball Crew]] has apparently withdrawn from their current operation. 

*'''June 13, 2006'''
:[[The Cannonball Crew]] claims to have begun an invasion of Ridleybank. They initially faced some criticism because they claimed the [[Loose Cannons]] and the [[Ridleybank Assault Team]] had joined them.  Although the Canonball Crew has invited these groups, it is unclear whether any members from either team chose to participate.

===May 2006===

*'''May 29, 2006''' 
:Town is completely in zombah hands, though there are a few who are trying to spend the night by going in and barricading as much as possible.


===April 2006===

*'''April 30, 2006''' 
:Ridleybank is found to be a complete ghost town following several changes in the game and the wildly successful RRF EXCURSION. The suburb is unquestionably in zombie hands- except for the occasional randomly spawned humans, it is difficult to find anyone alive in Ridleybank.

*'''April 10, 2006''' 
:Since it hasn't been fixed yet: The Revivication Front was an April Fool's Joke. RRF is still eating brainz. Fixed on known groups.


===March 2006===

*'''March 31, 2006''' 
:[[The Ridleybank Resistance Front]] is now the [[The Ridleybank Revivification Front]]. The Blackmore Building will be kept open as a revive point for brain rotted RRF members.

*'''March 15, 2006''' 
:The streets of Ridleybank are emptied as The [[The Ridleybank Resistance Front|RRF]] begin their EXCURSION, and unite their entire force for an attack on Fort Creedy. Caution is still advised within the suburb.


===February 2006===

*'''February 24, 2006''' 
:Zombie players report that Ridleybank is again ''"almost completely in zombie hands"'',with no survivor groups able to claim a permanent position in the suburb. The situation closely resembles that of mid-December 2005, where those survivors still operating against the '''RRF''' were forced to rely on guerrilla attacks via free-running channels from neighboring suburbs.

*'''February 22, 2006''' 
:After the '''Gingerbread Men''' and other human survivor groups seem to have been largely cleared out (and some of the GBM have moved on to become [[the Gingerbraaains]]) , [[Paradox]] stages an assault on the suburb.

*'''February 18, 2006''' 
:The RRF believe that they have mostly cleared the suburb, and state that "only zombies and spirits currently patrol the streets in Ridleybank."

*'''February 16, 2006''' 
:Reports are recieved of a group known as [[The Last Crusade]] entering the suburb. Their aims are stated as ''"to force out the Infidels and reclaim the holy land."'' Various groups have committed men to this operation, it currently numbers 20-25 Crusaders.

*'''February 14, 2006''' 
:A majority of control is still claimed by the '''Gingerbread Men''', an assertion contested by '''The Ridleybank Resistance Front'''. No clear signs of progess show for either side, as the '''RRF''' report that upon removal of the barricades, many of the '''EHB''' buildings are found empty, only for the barricades to return within hours.

*'''February 5, 2006'''
:The [[Gingerbread Men]] controversially invade Ridleybank, barricading every building to [[Barricades|Extremely Heavily Barricaded]]. They go on to claim control of the suburb, renaming it as '''The Candyland'''. 
:This claim is strongly disputed by the still firmly established '''[[Ridleybank Resistance Front]]''' - who maintain that the '''GBM''' are breaking prior agreements in relation to the nature of the attack - specifically that the '''GBM''' are not staying within the suburb.

===December 2005===

*'''December 23, 2005 ''' 
:Santa has brought an early present for the Ridleybank zombies as, for the first time in over a month, the balance of power in the suburb seems to favor the Dead. 
:According to the [[Cerberus]] Recon Squad, at the moment only about 10% of the buildings are under human control ([http://img363.imageshack.us/my.php?image=defcon1223058vo.jpg Map]). This contrast strongly with the recent situation in the region where, for instance, barricades reached an all-time high on December 5 when 50 out of 66 buildings were fortified. Therefore, for the time being, Ridleybank seems back into zombie claws but the future of the suburb as the "Land of the Dead" remain uncertain. - [[User:Carnivore|Carnivore]]

*'''December 19, 2005''' 
:[[User:Petrosjko|Petrosjko]] and many members of [[The Ridleybank Resistance Front]] travel one block south of Ridleybank to participate in the '''Stanstock!''' Protest Strike at Whetcombe Park after calling for a [[On Strike|general strike]] saying that [http://zombies.desensitised.net/board/index.php?topic=4599.0 Enough is enough]. Stanstock looks to become the biggest gathering of dead bodies ever to lie in Stanbury Village -- and perhaps all of Malton! Thousands of zombies and human survivors alike converge for peaceful protest, revelry, kumbarhahya'ing, and inactivity in Whetcombe Park. Speak Truth to Power, leave guns and whining at home, and Respect the fact that many of the bodies (formerly human or zombie) lying in Whetcombe Park have vowed never to stand up again until Zombies get a fair shake. In accordance with their agreement with the RRF of only killing and headshotting brain-rotted members of the RRF, [[the Gingerbread Men]] retreat from Ridleybank in order not to hurt the feral zombie population who are not going on strike.

*'''December 14, 2005''' 
:As the zombie presence in Ridleybank increases, the death toll rises.
::"''Ridleybank is overrun, the northeast, northwest, and southeast quadrents contain at least one hundred zombies each. Southwest is a little better, but it's still nasty in there. Ridleybank is currently the most dangerous suberb in Malton. ...Abandon hope all ye who enter here...''" - [[Crane]] 12:22, 14 Dec 2005 (GMT)

* '''December 09, 2005'''

:The [[Ridleybank Resistance Front]] retreats from Caiger Mall, with new orders to return to Ridleybank in response to the arrival of [[The Gingerbread Men]], the [[RLA]] and several other human groups who entered the suburb.  

::"''As thieves in the night, the harmanz have assaulted our home while we were away.  Unlike the [[Caiger Mall Survivors|Caigers]], these scandalous cowards do not meet us in the field, and they deserve no honor, no justice, no mercy... Let us return to Ridleybank, our home, and let us kill them all.''" - [[User:Petrosjko|Petrosjko]] - [http://zombies.desensitised.net/board/index.php?topic=3467.msg83466#msg83466]

===November 2005===
*'''Mid to Late November, 2005'''
:With [[The Ridleybank Resistance Front]] largely occupied fighting survivors outside their home suburb, mostly at [[Caiger Mall]], a movement to retake Ridleybank has formed. Enough survivors to make the suburb safe for habitation in spite of the few remaining zombies' best efforts moved in, and due to their extensive barricading the suburb is filled with safehouses and no longer particularly dangerous. However, most of the survivor forces responsible for the barricading do not expect to be able to hold once the RRF returns from Caiger Mall. More recently arrived and more organized survivor groups, most notably the outspoken [[Ridleybank Liberation Army]], disagree and boldly trumpet their intention to hold Ridleybank against the returning RRF hordes.

===October 2005===

*'''October 28th, 2005''' 
:The suburb is completely overrun, with low numbers of zombies in each building throughout. Do not go through Ridleybank unless you have enough APs to make it out. Staying overnight is not recommended.

*'''October 9th, 2005'''
:After an assault on [[Nichols Mall]], [[The Ridleybank Resistance Front]] gathers in Ridleybank to regroup. At this point, Ridleybank is now considered property of "The RRF".


*'''Early October, 2005''' 
:Zombie hordes have been seen shambling through Ketchelbank, Barrville, Shearbank, and Roachtown, converging on Ridleybank. They may represent [[The Ridleybank Resistance Front]].


===September 2005===
*'''Early September, 2005''' 
:The safehouse at Blomfield Grove Police Department was shattered by an assault coordinated by [[The Undying Scourge]].
