<span style="color:white">We are a diverse and motley band of PKers, pro-survivors, and even the occasional zombie. We have come together, however, to voice certain shared concerns, and to voice certain shared convictions.</span>
<span style="color:white">- An open Letter to the so-called ''Department of Emergency Management'' -</span>


<span style="color:white">We are the silent majority. We are those groups that have no superiority in numbers, no reinforcements, no armies at our backs. We are those who earn our keep each day at the same barricades, earn our bread at the local cemetery, earn our self-respect through our actions. We are those who have been broken. </span>


<span style="color:white">Broken by the feet of those who walk over us without noticing. Broken by the careless deeds of those who care nothing for our customs, but rather for uniformity. Broken by those who have broken their promises to serve and protect. Broken by those who wish to impose their laws upon us.</span>
<span style="color:white">We believe that groups should not inflate their numbers and influence by having alts in branches that participate in a common initiation, common tools, common boards, common recruitment, support identical policies, and very closely support each other in game.</span>


<span style="color:white">We are our own people. We live by our own codes, our own rules, our own decisions. We work tirelessly to keep the barricades up inside the same ten buildings we've lived in for the past years. We don't ask for many favors from others. We don't complain when the going gets tough, the zombies get stronger, and there's nobody to revive you at the cemetery. We keep our noses to the grindstone, our feet planted on the ground, and our heads down. We are the foundation of the city's infrastructure. We are the groups which make up the building blocks of this city. We are the stationary, blue-collar, dime-a-dozen groups which make safe movement from one suburb to another a possibility. We are the common salt of the city, those boring, immobile working stiffs that you take for granted. We are the groups you don't give a second thought to. We are the groups who are worthy of your respect.</span>
<span style="color:white">We believe that sportsmanlike play, and an even playing field, involves putting a fair amount of elbow grease and manual labor into scouting reports.</span>


<span style='color:#8B0000'>'''And we are so, '''so tired'''.'''</span>
<span style="color:white">We believe that a survivor group that operates in one area, and has worked for some time to uphold order, has earned the right to dictate the general basis of operation for that area. This, of course, provided that they do not violate any basic rights or freedoms of others in the area. When another group comes in, changes their barricade levels, tags over their tags, and kills them for being on a list that views their actions as wrong, they are violating the basic rights and sovereignty of the group they act against.</span>


<span style="color:white">We are tired of your arrogance, your smug attitude, your self-importance. We are tired of your attempts to govern us, to mold us to your liking, to control us. We are tired of your careless treatment of our friends and ourselves. We are so, so tired. </span>


<span style='color:#8B0000'>'''And we are very, '''very''' Angry.'''</span>
<span style="color:white">With these things in mind, we would ask the DEM, as the most influential survivor group in the game, to reconsider their policies on several matters:</span>


<span style="color:white">We are here, unveiled, unmasked, unshrouded and unafraid. We stand before you, a motley crew, an undisciplined band of the most unlikely allies. We are PKers, Pro-Survivors; Malcontents. And we are many. So very, ''very'' many.</span>
* <span style="color:white"> Please transition to a one-alt policy. Doing so would eliminate current complaints about present and potential alt abuse. Given your current internal structure, we believe it is only fair to consider the DEM a group, not an "alliance."</span>


<span style="color:white">We are here to make the only demands we will make upon you as long as this coalition exists.<br>
* <span style="color:white"> Please disable IMP, the auto-scouting portion of DEMON. We consider a manually updated map of DEMON to be fair and sportsmanlike play, still permitting the groups of Malton a relatively even playing field. We do not consider auto-updates to be such.</span>
Dissemble your supposed dominion over the city. Retract your operations from our suburbs. Recall your 'Supervisors' and your 'Inspectors'. Reform your indiscriminate death squads. Rethink your stance on hive-mind scripts and tools. Regroup your forces far from our territories. Respect our independence of self-governance, deed, and existence. And Remember that we, too, are human beings.</span>


<span style="color:white">Should it come to pass that you do not heed the above demands, do not reform your organization, do not leave our territories, we will respond with untempered force.
* <span style="color:white"> Please stop relying exclusively on the RG and the UBP. When you are in another group's home area, please respect their local blacklists and local customs.</span>
Should it come to pass that you ignore us one more time, the camel's back will break and there will be no more requests, no more friendships, no more peace, and no mercy.</span>


<span style="color:white">There will be war. There will be brutality. There will be death, destruction, and deeds indescribable. Your weak will fall on the bodies of your strong, and every last member of your organization will be ''put down''. It will not be fun. It will not be worth it. And it will not end well for you.</span>
* <span style="color:white"> Please stop claiming to be a presence in suburbs where you have fewer than five members.</span>

<span style="color:white">Until such a time as these issues are resolved, we consider it our right to protest your current policies both ingame and out.</span>
==<span style="color:#8B0000">'''ADDENDUM:'''</span>==


<span style="color:white">Further Terms:</span>
<span style="color:white">1) Only one alt in the DEM. You are not an alliance -- stop pretending to be. When the largest group in the game endorses a 3-alt policy, it sets a bad example -- look at Extinction. You have yourselves to blame for opening that door; close it.</span>
<span style="color:white">2) Dismantling of the auto-scout portion of DEMON. Disable IMP. A manually updated map is fine; auto-updates are not.</span>
<span style="color:white">3) No more city-wide jurisdiction and operation.
<span style="color:white">-Stop relying on the RG. When you're on another group's turf, pay attention to local blacklists.
<span style="color:white">-Pay attention to local situations.
<span style="color:white">-Recognize local group sovereignty. Learn about the place you're ostensibly helping.
<span style="color:white">-Have a real presence in the places you're working; cease leeching off of local groups with your "teams" of 3 people or less.

The Newly Liberated Manifesto

- An Open Letter to the Department of Emergency Management -


We are a diverse and motley band of PKers, pro-survivors, and even the occasional zombie. We have come together, however, to voice certain shared concerns, and to voice certain shared convictions.


We believe that groups should not inflate their numbers and influence by having alts in branches that participate in a common initiation, common tools, common boards, common recruitment, support identical policies, and very closely support each other in game.

We believe that sportsmanlike play, and an even playing field, involves putting a fair amount of elbow grease and manual labor into scouting reports.

We believe that a survivor group that operates in one area, and has worked for some time to uphold order, has earned the right to dictate the general basis of operation for that area. This, of course, provided that they do not violate any basic rights or freedoms of others in the area. When another group comes in, changes their barricade levels, tags over their tags, and kills them for being on a list that views their actions as wrong, they are violating the basic rights and sovereignty of the group they act against.


With these things in mind, we would ask the DEM, as the most influential survivor group in the game, to reconsider their policies on several matters:

  • Please transition to a one-alt policy. Doing so would eliminate current complaints about present and potential alt abuse. Given your current internal structure, we believe it is only fair to consider the DEM a group, not an "alliance."
  • Please disable IMP, the auto-scouting portion of DEMON. We consider a manually updated map of DEMON to be fair and sportsmanlike play, still permitting the groups of Malton a relatively even playing field. We do not consider auto-updates to be such.
  • Please stop relying exclusively on the RG and the UBP. When you are in another group's home area, please respect their local blacklists and local customs.
  • Please stop claiming to be a presence in suburbs where you have fewer than five members.


Until such a time as these issues are resolved, we consider it our right to protest your current policies both ingame and out.

SIGNED:

An invitation to all of Malton

These issues are nothing new. They've been legitimate concerns for some time. Let the people of Malton show the DEM that these matters need to be addressed. We invite any individuals and groups in Malton to sign this document, and make vocal their belief in the need for change.

Moreover, we encourage any groups, whether signers of this document or not, to make their voice heard here.
