[[NecroWatch]] reported in from the [[The Owsley Building|Owsley Building]] today. A recent scan had revealed that there were 8 zombies within scanning range of the facility. Of these numbers, 2 zombies were at [[St. Maurice's Hospital]], while 3 zombies were at both [[the Frappell Motel]] and [[Gummer Bank (Houldenbank)|Gummer Bank]]. --[[User:Mobius187|Mobius]] 13:08, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

George Zip here, ex-military scout for [[DSS Red Zone Support]]. Charted a course from St. Elisabeth's in Pegton SSW to the Rothwell building in Penny Heights. I have seven FAK kits and plenty of firepower. Highlights of trip are as follows:

*Pegton
**St. Elisabeth's Hospital at EHB with survivors and power (but no radio). Had to leave through St. Martin's church. Eleven zeds in nearby cemetary, presumably waiting for revives. James O'Ferrel, NecroTech operative, also there.
**SW Pegton otherwise virtually free of zeds
*'''Holdenbank'''
**NW Holdenbank virtually free of zeds.
**Trent Bank at EHB.
**Pettyfer Towers at EHB with power. 3 zeds outside.
**St. Willibrord's Church HB, with power. Interesting graffito: "''The time of the Demon Walrus is Nigh''"
**Piney Building at EHB, with power.
**Hemmings Auto Repair at EHB, no power.
**Mace Towers SB, with power. Four bodies outside.
**St. Maurice's Hospital at EHB, with power
**Lower and central Houldenbank empty of zeds.
*Penny Heights
**One zed at St. Danillo's Church, then joined by another. Shot at them. Was attacked; left.
**Gradually incresing zed presence as I go south
**'''Rothwell Building: Doors open, no power.''' One zed outside; seven (and one survivor!) inside. I can't stay here with so many zeds.
**Tomkyns Building: Power; one survivor. QSB.

====October 23<sup>rd</sup>====
Moments ago, the last five structures left in town were ruined. Corpses litter the streets and buildings. All TRPs were taken down. [[MOB]] and the [[FU]] then decided to finish off all of the non-TRP structures. Even the junkyards were opened up and the occupants killed. It will take some time to clean up this mess. These zombies are massing on the western edge of the suburb, eying greener pastures.--[[User:FLZombie|FLZombie]] 04:31, 23 October 2008 (BST)

====October 22<sup>nd</sup>====
Local NT operations have become seriously hampered with the presence of zombies from the [[Militant Order of Barhah]] and the [[Feral Undead]]. All four NTs are ruined at this time, as well as the three hospitals, and the only Police Department. Those waiting at RPs will have to be patient, since even non TRP buildings are being targeted, and these still hold survivors capable of reviving zombies inside. --[[User:FLZombie|FLZombie]] 12:32, 22 October 2008 (BST)

====October 20<sup>th</sup>====
Moderate amounts of zombie activity in houldenbank, mainly in the south. A few safehouses have fallen, but not many. The revive points a COMPLETELY clogged up, I tried to get one of my alt's revived and havebben waiting for a week now! The zobies in Greatotex are getting really annoyed... and I'm one of them! --[[User:Angusburger|Angusburger]] 17:42, 20 October 2008 (BST)

It's also aggravating to see zombies attack the rot revivers. I had just been revived, and was about to help revive some people, when a friendly zombie decided it was a great idea to kill me. Now I have to find a cemetery or revive point elsewhere.--[[User:Spacedooky|Spacedooky]] 04:48, 21 October 2008 (BST)

It's happy in Houldenbank, although [[Osmondville]] is little to zed friendly for comfort. The Greatotex building's churning out newly revived guys night and day. I did a sweep of the suburb and found under 10 hostile zombies in total. [[User:Angusburger|Angusburger]] 17:06 10 Ocober 2008 (GMT)

I passed through the center of suburb, from the [[The Wrigley Building (Houldenbank)|the Wrigley Building]] to [[Wharam Towers]].  Out of the twenty-five buildings I saw, only six were ruined, and most repaired buildings had heavy barricades.  There's many scattered zombies in the city, but most are in groups of two or three.  The largest group was 22 zombies outside the [[the Owsley Building]] (which had low cades, but was repaired).  Assuming that the rest of the suburb looks somewhat the same -- mostly unruined, with no hordes anywhere near 150 -- I would think Houldenbank is at most "Dangerous." --[[User:Jen|Jen]] 03:34, 5 June 2008 (BST)

The Hosken Building and The Greatorex Building are operating as a rotter revive clinic for all zombies including those with brain rot. Both The Hosken Building and The Greatorex Building are powered and are well defended and maintained and since they are adjacent to one another, it is advised that the Greatorex building is kept unbarricaded to let the zeds with brain rot into the clinic where they can be revived. ----Tanaj----

====April 27<sup>th</sup>====
Almost all of the [[Houldenbank Building Information Center‎|resource buildings]] in the suburb are powered, and they all have their barricades raised.

Currently inside [[the Tribe Building]]; it seems as though it and the Wellstead Building next door are getting some attention recently. Zombie numbers are fairly low, but so are the defenders, so a few extra warm-bodied volunteers would be helpful if anyone's in the area and looking for something to do. --[[User:Specialist290|'''Specialist290''']] [[User talk:Specialist290|{{c|black|♠}}]][[User:Specialist290/Huey_P_Long|{{c|red|♥}}]][[User:Specialist290/PB|{{c|black|♣}}]]{{c|red|♦}} 20:48, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Of note, there were 7 zombies at [[Richard General Hospital]], 6 zombies at [[Wharam Towers]], and 5 zombies at the [[The Tribe Building|Tribe Building]]. The remaining zombies were scattered and should be little or no threat to any well-defended survivor safehouses in the immediate area. --[[User:Mobius187|Mobius187]] 14:38, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Many buildings in east and central Houldenbank appear to be barricaded and lit, including at least 3 NTs and the PD.  This area is improving as more zombies straggle behind the Big Bash and head north. --[[User:DaytonDead|DaytonDead]] 06:16, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

In other news, [[NecroWatch]] reported scans from the [[The Greatorex Building|Greatorex]], [[The Hosken Building (Houldenbank)|Hosken]] and [[The Owsley Building|Owsley Buildings]] today. The scans revealed that there are an estimated 50+ zombies within range of the NecroTech facilities. The largest concentrations of zombies appear to be at [[Solomon Lane Police Department (Houldenbank)|Solomon Lane PD]], which has 15 zombies, and is a stark comparison to the [[The Frappell Motel|Frappell Motel]] and [[Vallis Plaza Fire Station]], which only have 4 zombies at each.

The Greatorex building is a rotters relief point, therefore it should be like that. As for the rest of the suburb, there are sporatic break ins at the resource points but they are quickly fixed.

We are currently fighting to protect the people of Houldenbank against the zombies and enemies of Houldenbank the Totalitarian government of Houldenbank will continue to fight for the people of Houldenbank BTW Houldenbank is now safe you can easily sleep outside without being killed by a zombie so Houldenbank is now a green zone and thanks to us western Houldenbank is safe.

Meacham is caded to EHB and set with a generator and radio transmitter, but the surrounding buildings look grim, so we'll see how long this lasts...--[[User:Malthen|Malthen]] 21:48, 22 June 2007 (BST)

:'''Update''': The [[OMC]] has confirmed this suburb in need of help and has opened up trade routes through it. [[User:Chris' 'Redfield|Chris&#39; &#39;Redfield]] 17:53, 13 June 2007 (BST)

One NT building has been cleared out of zombies.  rebuild immediatly!!! some rotters want their revives.  just know those rotters are fighting on your side.

====June 10<sup>th</sup>====
There are hordes of 60+ zombies moving through the area in storm. Many buildings are broken into and ransaked. The area around is unsafe. My last check shows the Oswey Building is overrun and survivours are still fighting for control of the Solomon Police Department. The situation is looking very grim for the survivors. Many are retreating to other areas. At this moment in time, that seems best course of action, i will be remaining behind to help defend the Tribe Building, with the rest of the Phoneix Rising! Group. However, it is highly adviseable to get yourself to safety. Stay safe out there people... The Zeds dont need their ranks to swell anymore than they already have. Good luck to all of you.

Hello Houldenbank. Your situation is bad. Use this [http://tinyurl.com/zmmas tool for revive requests]. A tip from a friendly survivor from Pegton.

====June 7<sup>th</sup>====
It's very back and forth.  Zombies will knock down a resource building, then the survivors will concentrate to retake it and resupply.  Then the zombies will knock it back down again.  Right now, Owsley and Solomon are unransacked, but hardly under effective survivor control.   [[User:Caley R Anderson|Caley R Anderson]] 09:57, 7 June 2007 (BST)
 
:'''Update''': Both Owsley and Solomon are full of zombies as of 11:29, 7 June 2007 (GMT) Dreakoth.

====June 3<sup>rd</sup>====
Zombies are dispersing in thin concentrations throughout Houldenbank.  A large proportion of blocks have at least 3 or 4 zombies on them, some more, but there don't seem to be too many large mobs as there were a week or two ago.  Most buildings seem to have been retaken by survivors, but the zombies have dispersed before only to reconcentrate and attack several times already.  Owsley fell briefly two days ago, causing a long delay in revivification at the Ford revive point.  Survivors should use the current opportunity to stock up on FAKs, ammo, and anything else they may need.  NTs who can help cut down on the line of revive requests at Ford (and especially also at the graveyards near St. Maurice's) should do so post haste to increase survivor odds.

====June 1<sup>st</sup>====
The control of Solomon is uncertain. It will be taken by humans only to be retaken by zombies. Efforts are still under way to take it back.

===May===
====May 27<sup>th</sup>====
Solomon is now in the hands of zombies.  Survivor groups are making regular kills, but these zeds are hard to discourage.  Far more defenders are in Owsley and its environs, and a concerted effort is being made to take back Solomon. [[User:Caley R Anderson|Caley R Anderson]] 00:01, 28 May 2007 (BST)

====May 23<sup>rd</sup>====
Houldenbank is becoming rather dangerous.  Zeds have started to swarm.  Solomon Lane PD and the Owsley Building NT are both under attack by double-digit numbers; the PD is looking at two or three dozen.  St. Maurice's, as usual, only faces sporadic attacks from small numbers of local zeds.  Both Owsley and Solomon remain under survivor control for now.

Overbarricading still a BIG problem.  I'm standing infected in front of St. Maurices with no way in, and not enough HP to go cruising around looking for something safe.  *Edit*  I am now DEAD in front of St. Maurices because I couldn't get in.
--[[User:Lenny17]] 16:53, 14 May 2007 (GMT+6)

The suburb has been quite for a while except for the occasional PKing by various members of the survivor society. It is advised that you not stay in resource buildings longer then need be to avoid the occasional random PK. That is all... --[[User:Chakurakid15|Deathbringer16]] 05:06, 15 May 2007 (BST)

Revives continue at a brisk pace at The Greatorex Building - Flagship Office of [[Rotter's Relief]].  This is despite the constant destroying of our damn generators! 

Also on the 24th, [[Drama Club]] staged a performance of "Army of Darkness" at [[Solomon Lane Police Department (Houldenbank)|Solomon Lane Police Department]] as part of their '''Border Tour''' of Malton. The group plans to travel clockwise around the border suburbs of Malton with one show in each suburb. Today they performed for the 53 survivors here as part of this tour.  See their group page for performing groups and schedules.

The [[Black Berets]] are actively addressing the overbarricading problem in the suburb, starting with the south, which is the most populated and is where refugees from [[Penny Heights]] are ending up first.
We implore residents and refugees to adhere to the barricade plan. Houldenbank is currently nearly clear of zombies. --[[User:KAH|KAH]]

====March 22<sup>nd</sup>====
Almost all Buildings are at Very High Barricaded and I died because of this. I tried many buildings and every buildings that no one every goes in, or stays were open.

====March 15<sup>th</sup>====
Zombies waiting for revive, it's recommended to use some AP to break any nextdoor building down to VS.  Not only will you gain some EXP while you wait but, it will open up some VS entry points in a city that's overbarracaded.  Necteks who are trying to revive are wasting all their AP searching for VS entry points for safe resting before they can start reviving.  Any survivors who are stuck outside and running low on AP, try resource buildings as since these are commonly attacked, their barracades have a good chance being lower, more zombies outside the better.  Barracades are not to plan currently.

====March 12<sup>th</sup>====
Public Service Announcement

All new citizens who have sought refuge in Houldenbank, please be advised that overbarricading has become critical. There are very few places that are now not either heavily barricaded or extremely heavily barricaded [EHB]. 

Access to supplies is limited as a result of over-zealous barricading through fear of the zombie hordes. All 3 of the hospitals are EHB and emergency supplies for the sick and wounded are in short supply. 

Citizens with the Free-Running skill are urged to provide vital medical assistance to any unfortunate souls who are unable to seek shelter by night-fall. --[[User:Riotgirl|Riotgirl]] 21:09, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

:'''Update''': And I would urge people to start de-barricading over-barricaded buildings.  Houldenbank has a UBP guys! --[[User:Vancouver Smith|Vancouver Smith]] 01:34, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

====February 24<sup>th</sup>====
Houldenbank is not safe anymore, I don't know why some people say the suburb looks secure because this is the worst i've seen it in months. There's some Pker problems at the Hosken Building, 2 days ago we had some dumbass named "hitler" preaching white power and killing survivors with other guy. The revives are VERY slow at the Greatorex building and some people moved away from the suburb after the central area was taken down by a small number of zombies, i'm talking about less than 20 zombies, that's it! Pretty lame, I know. Still, we are not doomed, we are not even near doomed but the quality of the defense right now is definetly poor.

Things are taking a turn for the worse in Houldenbank. Both St. Maurice's and Solomon Lane have been broken into (3 in each) and Solomon Lane has been ransacked. --[[User:Vancouver Smith|Vancouver Smith]] 02:47, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

:'''Update''': Three zeds outside [[Kitting Museum]], 5 outside St. Maurice's Hospital, 3 outside St. Lorenzo's Church. All in all, if you want to clean up Houldenbank, go to these spots and kick some zed butt. Hold Houldenbank!!!!!!!!

====February 18<sup>th</sup>====
The suburb looks fairly secure. Zombies are only in occasional ones and twos, and quickly taken down by Black Berets and other survivors. --[[User:TheDictator|TheDictator]]

Squidgey returned again. Killing everyone inside Greatorex Building.

List of '''PKers''' in this area:

'''Undertaker 88, Sgt Slaughter, Sgt Slaughter 88, Hitler (all one player with alts - has more!)
TPKRM
Squidgey'''

Time to stop these people! --[[User:Reinbowarrior|Reinbowarrior]]

Here's my thought: the Greatorex Building is primarily for rotters.  Ergo there should be a separate point for non-rotters and all non-rotters around Rotter Revive buildings should be shot. --[[User:malax001|malax001]]

====February 14<sup>th</sup>====
All survivors in [[the Greatorex Building]] are dead. Building has been ransacked, with 11 zeds outside, some looking for revives. --[[User:AlexTheScientist|AlexTheScientist]]

====February 12<sup>th</sup>====
Rebuild WAS going fine. However another visit from the viscious PKer Squidgey was enough to leave several of the defenders of [[the Greatorex Building]] dead, now zombified and looking for revives.

We now only ask one thing - '''Destroy Squidgey and do not revive!!!''' --[[User:Reinbowarrior|Reinbowarrior]]

====February 10<sup>th</sup>====
Several defenders killed.  There are 4-5 high level zombies raiding the Greatorex building.
A small core of low level rotters relief/NecroTech protection front are holding them at bay, but nearly every night the generator is destroyed and we loose more civilians to the horde.  Zombies are pretending to want revives and then destroying the place and the people.

Help required, situation desperate. --[[User:Reinbowarrior|Reinbowarrior]]

High level zombies...I've been smashing the generator almost every chance I get and I'm quite low leveled actually. As long as I'm in the suburb, don't be surprised if you log on to see "A zombie destroyed the generator. A zombie said 'Graaaagh!'"...yes, I'm him. --[[User:Graaaagh!|Graaaagh!]]

Several defenders PK'ed by Squidgey - '''again''' - He's level 41 - how do we stop him PKing??? 

The large Zombie influx to the north is worrying.  We need to defend this revive point... --[[User:Reinbowarrior|Reinbowarrior]]

====February 4<sup>th</sup>==== 
I too got PK'ed by Squidgey - I vote justice is done, and he's hunted down. 

A group "Necrotech Protection Front" are trying to keep the Greatorex revive point open, but each night some sneaky zombies (with infection!) keeps trying to break in and destroy the generator.  It's desperate down there!  Help required! --[[User:Reinbowarrior|Reinbowarrior]]

Sanctuary has entered the suburb, to help fellow survivors coming from a victory in Penny Heights, we will clear hostile zombies from all buildings, be it if we are living or dead, killing a Sanctuary member, will only make it stronger. All dead survivors are to return to revive point Ford [93,63, and to while waiting for a revive, help clear the buildings around the revive point from hostile zombies, making it easier for survivors to retake it. Add all zombies that say "mrh" to your contact list, they are your comrades. Be sure to return to the revive point, before you sway. Add http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=407933 to your contact list, and kill him, he is at the revive point, and is a member of a zombie group. And hence does more harm living then dead.

Houldenbank is overrun. 

====November 18<sup>th</sup>====
Houldenbank has largely been abandoned. Most major buildings (including resource sites) are unoccupied and unbarricaded, and scattered numbers of lone feral zombies roam the streets and interiors. While Solomon Lane P.D. still stands, the number of human occupiers have dwindled down to a handful of diehards. 

====November 10<sup>th</sup>====
The assualt on Solomon Lane police station continues to grow. Thirty one zombies are now present; and though they take heavy casualties, they manage to break into the department twice and kill two survivors. The defenders reinforce the barricades frantically.

====November 9<sup>th</sup>====
Solomon Lane police station is currently a central zombie-human battle point, with a horde of 26 zombies laying siege to the building, which was a safehouse filled with twelve to fifteen humans. The building has been breached once, but no defenders were slain, as only one zombie apparently entered before the breach was repaired. The zombie fled before it could be eliminated. Evacuations from the safehouse to other more secure locations seem set to occur in the near future.
