Tikhon Medical is an ad-hoc group of survivors in Ruddlebank, Dartside and Shuttlebank, operating out of Tikhon General Hospital (Ruddlebank) and Tikhon General Hospital (Dartside) and Fabian General Hospital (Shuttlebank). There is no leader and no set rules or guidelines, just a bunch of like-minded folks living in or near the hospitals and working to support them. You could think of M*A*S*H without Col. Potter. With zombie North Koreans. We are a no-pressure, non-organization that has been around since late 2006. We refer to ourselves as a "gaggle" rather than a "group" because well... "group" denotes organization and planning. Not our strong suits.

A hospital patient enjoys a relaxing bath of cheesy poofs.

Purpose

Defending our Cheesy Poof supply. Tikhon Medical is also involved in healing and revivification services, operating revive points at Greenleaves Alley in Ruddlebank, Lyng Street in Dartside and Look Road in Shuttlebank. Occasionally, a team will be dispatched to trouble spots in the vicinity to treat/cause medical problems. It's purely voluntary, so "dispatch" probably isn't the right word. But "dispatch" is such a cool word, I had to use it. "Dispatch". Yeah.

Besides healing, there is barricade maintenance and general tomfoolery. We actually talk and crack jokes at Tikhon, and moon passing zombies. People who duck in for safety often stay a while for the yucks. A few even join our ranks. Events also start up at random times, with no warning, like the BBQ at Cosens and even stand up jokes/comedy acts at the hospital.

About Tikhon General Hospital

Tikhon Medical currently holds an iron fisted rule over both Tikhon General Hospital (Ruddlebank), Tikhon General Hospital (Dartside) and Fabian General Hospital (Shuttlebank). Surrounding buildings are used frequently by Tikhon Medical, but we don't claim ownership over them.

Maintained

This Hospital is actively maintained by individuals and groups in the local area

First Aid

Hospital staff know First Aid and can heal up to 10HP with a First Aid Kit

Diagnosis

Hospital staff are able to diagnose and cure injured patients

Surgery

Hospital staff can perform surgery to restore 15HP per First Aid Kit

Entry Point

This building is barricaded to VSB+2. No free running? No problem.

Religion

The unofficial Tikhon religion is elbow-cranialism and can be found here

Tikhon West (aka, Tikhon Prime) Advantages: Most of what we need is within 1 move of the hospital - fuel, generators and medical supplies. NecroTech facilities are nearby, but not next door. Those places are creepy. Eight (8) moves straight NE is Tompson Mall for more intensive shopping. Disadvantages: It is a hospital, and therefore a target. Firearms and ammunition are not located very close, so bring an axe. Sly Place Police Department is reachable, but between travel time and search time, you may make it an overnight trip. Update: Tikhon Prime now has a Radio Transmitter installed in it!

Tikhon East Advantages: Everything we could ever want is within 3 blocks, except a Fire Station, but it's hardly any loss. There are 3 Police Departments that act as an abundant source of ammunition, 3 more Hospitals close by and there are 3 NecroTech buildings each only 3 blocks away. These buildings act as a large fortress against zombie attacks and a great base of operations. This also means that we can have a few TRPs at EHB instead of VS+2. Disadvantages: Because of all the TRPs squashed together in one area this makes it a hot spot for zombie attack. But then, that just means target practice, so even that has its upside.

Tikhon North Advantages: The hospital is well stocked with medical supplies and there are two police stations for firearms and a creepy NecroTech facility is next door. Most of what we need is within 2-3 moves of the hospital - fuel, generators. Eight (8) moves NW is Calvert Mall and Nine (9) moves NE is Bale Mall, for those late night cravings for Tacos and ammo. Disadvantages: It's the only hospital in the suburb, and is therefore a MAJOR target. A neighbouring zombie horde has taken a distinct dislike to us setting up shop on their doorstep and a full-blown turf war has erupted. Okay, a turf skirmish.

Current News

September 9, 2010 - Overnight, our 20 regulars divided like amoebas and the 40+ horde succeeded in overwhelming our defenses and raiding the cheesy poof cellar. Clever bastards. Hospital staff were seen screaming, followed by much "graagh"-ing and "grahn"-ing. - Uncle Elbert 22:13, 9 September 2010 (BST) July 5, 2010 - And time for our once-in-a-whenever update. Prime is up, but has been targeted for destruction by the Plague and some friends. They very, very nearly got us yesterday, but we managed to kick them out. The Plague is a determined and respectable foe. They do not leave until their job is done. So... yeah. Let's try to make sure they have to stick around a long time, m'kay? - Uncle Elbert 11:27, 5 July 2010 (BST) February 28, 2010 - Prime reclaimed... yesterday, I think. Some of our new friends are still around, but we've unlocked the poof cellar again anyway. -- Uncle Elbert 05:45, 1 March 2010 (UTC) February 24, 2010 - Prime has fallen. The poof vault was locked, but there are still smashed poofs all over the place. Clean up is going to be a pain. -- Uncle Elbert 23:17, 24 February 2010 (UTC) February 21, 2010 - We haven't really updated in a while, so here goes. Prime is under siege by Feral Undead. It's been a grand couple of weeks under these conditions - we lost Prime for a day or two, but took it back and the zombies are clamoring for the poofs. The horde has grown to just over 30, which outnumbers defenders in the building. But we've got friends nearby, checking on us, so not ALL defenders are actually in the hospital. I don't have any info on the current status of East or North; anyone with info please post. -- Uncle Elbert 20:11, 21 February 2010 (UTC) December 23, 2009 - All 3 Tikhons are reported secure and still boring. We're headed into the Danger Zone for some fun. Operation: Cheesy Beaver II announced. All Tikhoners and allies are invited to participate; details can be found in the secure part of the SWA forum. -- Uncle Elbert 21:58, 23 December 2009 (UTC) September 30 2009 - Things have quietened in Dartside, East is caded, powered and we have a small but dedicated force holding the premises. Very little Zed activity in the area, though I fear the noxious fiends may have taken the Vanilla Poof recipe with them as they fled. --Elbowhead 13:11, 30 September 2009 (BST) September 3 2009 - Tikhon East (Dartside) reports they are under attack by elements of the RRF. The first attack has been repelled, and the secret formula for Vanilla Cheesy Poofs remains secure. -- Uncle Elbert 15:48, 3 September 2009 (BST) August 27 2009 - All hospitals are safe and sound. Loads of survivors in them getting medical attention right now, particularly Tikhon Prime. Though there was a little problem with overbarricading recently, that has been sorted. July 13 2009 - Oddly enough, it appears that life is safe and sound at all of our hospitals! Weird! I wonder where the zeds went? Oh well, i guess it's vacation(-from-zeds) time! --Chelsea Dagger 13:46, 13 July 2009 (BST) June 1 2009 - The MOB has ruined Prime and the whole southwest corner of Ruddlebank, and it looks like they are heading for Tompson Mall!! - Tai Kamiya 20:41, 1 June 2009 See the Archive for old Tikhon news.

Tikhon West Status: A smoking pile of rubble and corpses Tikhon East Status: Safe Tikhon North Status: Safe... for now Flower Safe For when the suburb is rated green and there are no bodies and zombies in or out of the hospital. Safe When there are no significant breakins and no more than a few zombies and/or bodies in or out of the hospital. Safe... for now Only used if zombie activity isn't high but there is imminent threat nearby. (e.g. active assault on an adjacent building). Meh Used when we don't give crap about zombie activity, or when there is a small group of ferals outside. Send more ammo and nails! For when the hospital is under attack. (15 - 30 standing zeds). Typically used when zombie numbers are escalating and we need more defenders. Dammit! When the hospital is undergoing a small siege, (30 - 50 standing zeds) or when we're out of cheezy poofs. OMG!! Used when hospital staff deem everyone "slightly in trouble" meaning frequent breakins with small groups in between barricade patch ups. (50 - 70 standing zeds) Totally screwed For when there is a huge number of zombies outside and a few inside. (70 - 100, 10+ in). Barbaga zaarz! When a horrible death is likely, and/or with 100 zeds outside and more than 20 inside. A smoking pile of rubble and corpses Is the hospital ruined and devoid of life? Then this would be the proper rating. Mrh? Used in the unlikely event that the majority of our staff are dead. (Roughly 90%). Rebuilding If we recently retook a hospital and are gaining numbers. Unknown In case we have no idea what the hospital status is. This usually results from a plan that requires us to leave our home for long periods of time.

Policies

GKing - Generator Killers are lame. Unless you're Amish, you have no business destroying equipment, and neither do we. Unless, of course, we're trying to turn off the "FRESH EATS HERE" sign when loads of zombies are around.

RKing - Radio Killers aren't lame if it stops spam. Not all radio chatter is spam, though, so really - you have to admit it's at least kind of lame. We don't do it, unless the radio is really asking for it.

PKing - Killing PKers is technically PKing itself, so it's a grey area. Generally we don't do it, but annoy us enough and all bets are off. Basically, we don't kill anyone who wouldn't have killed us first, given the opportunity.

Zerging - One player coordinating multiple characters is UBER-lame.

Membership Only one character is allowed in Tikhon Medical.

It should be noted that as Tikhon Medical has no leaders, there are no enforcers of these rules. Punishment is by the hospital staff, usually involving a closet, peanut butter, and our resident test subject, Target Zombie.
