Buttonville is a suburb of Malton, located in the south of the city. A few residents held the brief opinion that this suburb should be referred to as "Cheeseville" based on a poll on one group's public forum; efforts to replace the suburb name in this article were considered vandalism under this wiki's NPOV rules and removed. It continues to be known as "Butt-ville" by several dirty-minded residents, but no effort to "correct" this article has emerged. It is occasionally abbreviated to "The Button" or "The Butt" (the source of many jokes by degenerate locals) and can be referred to as "Bagganb!rrh" in Zamgrh by players with Death Rattle. The suburb currently has no other common aliases.
Buttonville contains the western half of Buckley Mall.
Many residents, survivor and zombie alike, prefer to be referred to as "Buttonvillains" or "Buttvillies".
It is also known as the capitol of Maltons Fine Wine Storage and Industry. It is also known for it's fabulous Bar-Pud-Club Chain.

Buttonville, the land of Wine!
Before the outbreak, Buttonville was a highly populated community of Rich suburbanites. In those days, Buttonville had been well know as the Capitol of the Wine Industry (In selling and storing of the large quantities, that is. No Wineries themselves cared to become local, instead making a hefty profit on import from their respective Suburbs, or Countries). It may have been that tradition and like-minded individuals had started this trend, therefore making it "high-class" to be an authority and drinker of fine wine.
For whatever reason, because of some social movement of living a High-Class life, the Suburb prospered under wonderful economic conditions. Ron Burgundy was often cited as being a massive inspiration to the people of the Suburb. Amongst the local Bars and the like was the profoundness of displaying Ron Burgundy approved plaques for their Wines, a massive pride to any Bar, Pub, or Club in any Suburb.
The people had been terrifically involved in Politics.
Resource Buildings

Buttonville
Information Resources
The Buttonville Building Information Center contains status reports and updates on key buildings in the suburb.
View zombie activity and locations in Buttonville from External Military Reports, Scentoral scan data charts and NecroWatch.
Survivor groups advise visitors not to sleep in Buttonville's resource buildings. These buildings are generally high-profile targets for zombies, and due to the UBP-compliant Barricade Plan the local groups uphold, tend to be less-heavily barricaded; survivors sleeping inside make these tempting targets into all-you-can-eat buffets as well.
Zombie groups, on the other hand, advise visiting zombies that survivors rarely take their own advice, and that most VSB buildings do turn out to be buffets after all.
Besides Buckley Mall, Buttonville has:
- 4 NT Buildings (the Fort Building [47, 90], the Brazey Building [48, 91], the Tebbett Building [48, 96], and the Pryor Building [41, 98])
- 2 Fire Stations (Whittem Place Fire Station [41, 97] and Garlick Square Fire Station [48, 98])
- 1 Police Station (Ranson Boulevard Police Dept [47, 92])
- 1 Hospital (St Soter's Hospital [40, 91])
In addition St Soter's Hospital in NW Buttonville, two hospitals lie just on the border: St Agatho's Hospital @ [42, 89] near NW corner in Kinch Heights and Julie General Hospital @ [50, 97] near SE corner in Wyke Hills. Near the NE corner in West Grayside is Piran General Hospital @ [50, 88].
Radio
Survivor groups strongly recommend that radios and transmitters in Buttonville be tuned to:
- 26.84 Radio Buttonville
Current DJs are Eric Trip Benson, Viktor Winz, and occasionally Balls McGrierie. 04/20/2011 -- Festeringcow 12:40, 20 April 2011 (BST)
Zombie groups strongly recommend that radios and transmitters in Buttonville be eaten.
Most survivor groups and unaffiliated survivors, including Buckley Mall residents, have adopted the Radio Buttonville frequency for mutual defense and ease of suburb-wide communication. Other theoretically applicable but largely unused (in Buttonvile) radio frequencies are as follows:
- 26.15 - the DEM SW-5 protectorate frequency covering Dartside, Spicer Hills, Williamsville, Kinch Heights, as well as Buttonville
- 26.45 - The Williamsville Defense Coalition radio network currently covering Spicer Hills, Dartside, Williamsville, and Buttonville.
- 28.01 - Many PKers find it is harder for their victims to report them to the Rogues Gallery if the required screenshot is filled with miles upon miles of spam radio messages.
Revive Points
There are three operational revivification locations in Buttonville:
- a cemetery [44, 93] (south of St Columbanus's Church)
- wasteland [47, 95] (west of Hutchin Bank)
- a cemetery [40,98] (south of St Aidan's Church)
Survivor groups in this neighborhood adhere to the policy of No Random Revives (not affiliated with the Randoms); which usually requires one to register one's in-game profile ID on a Revivification Request Tool to prevent reviving PKers. Revive policies in the suburb include (but may not be limited to):
- The Randoms request that revive-seekers use their revive request forum. Most other groups in the area monitor this revive queue.
- The Department of Emergency Management prefer that revive-seekers use the DEM Revive Request Tool. (Some groups in the area may monitor this queue.)
- PKers request that Revive Technicians perform their duties without bias or moral judgment.
- Zombies request that revive-seekers greet each other, as well as any harmanz who happen to wander into range, with a friendly bite, then sing and dance for a bit (because everybody likes a show while they stand in a queue).
Historical: The St Aidan's Church [40, 97] was an early revivification clinic starting in November 2005. It was closed in October 2006 to simplify the revive points given there is a Sacred Ground cemetery one south.

History Summary
For details see the Buttonville news archive.
- January 22, 2011
- Buckley Mall has been under siege on and off for most of the month control swapping every few days or so. Survivors advise bringing extra FAKs whenever entering the SE corner of Buttonville. Zombies advise eating extra Bra!ns whenever entering the SE of Buttville.
- September 10, 2010
- Buttonville has been relatively peaceful, however the recent sighting of a large mob in the suburbs north-west corner could indeed be a problem.
The peace enjoyed in months earlier is summed up by the report of almost no Zeds and all buildings intact at one point. Whether this will continue we shall see. --Officer Mead Sheaffer 10:46, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
- February 15, 2009
- Slowly but surely, life seeped back into Buttonville. The Malton Strike corps, the Deck of 52, and others laid in ruins. But life moves on without them. Syringes pressing upon the skin of their fellow survivors, waiting so long for those revives, have finally, at last, become alive once more. Now Buttonville does what it can to reclaim it's glory before the fall to the MOB, that so brutally swept the resistance to their feet. Shaking a fist at the name of the MOB is the least one can do, less they waste AP mourning the fall of the suburb. --Officer Mead Sheaffer 18:13, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
- December 21, 2009
- Zombies and humans have been bucking heads and duking it out. Buckley Mall fought valiantly - but fell. Survivors fled to Garlick Square Fire Station, and are now in a brutal battle with Zeds. Both sides have gained more members each. The commander of the defense fell in combat, and so the survivors panicked. This sudden increase of Zeds is the presence of the Militant Order of Barhah. Zeds are scattered around Buttonville, same with survivors. Humans advise sleeping in low targeted places or in groups. Zeds recommend eating idiots that fall asleep in the streets because there isn't many places to run and hide. God save us all, give us some Italian food. And strike down all the over-barricaders. --Officer Mead Sheaffer 18:13, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
- December 16, 2009
- Buttonville's zombies have been in considerable danger due to the past six raids led by the hit-and-run group that established themselves back in 2008, the Malton Strike Corps. Zombies report that stray zeds should try to locate fast moving groups AHEAD of time and clear out. They are armed and dangerous. 18:13, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
- March 2006
- Buttonville reported as quiet by survivors; zombies report "Nazzang ahz habbanang haarh..."
- April 2006

- Buttonville survivors finally recover from the invasion mid-month and report Buttonville "peaceful".
- June 2006
- Big Bash begins sweeping through mid-month, peaks late month, and begins to leave at the end of the month.
- July/August 2006
- Lingering zombies mostly controlled Buttonville until the end of July. Things were finally peaceful in mid-August. There was a brief rise of zombie activity in late August, but fell back again quickly.

Things to do in Buttonville
Generally, Buttonville is the Suburb of peace & reiki. Do some Yoga, turn off your radio to those annoying noobs, sit back and relax! There is much to do my friends! Much wine to drink, much fun to be had, much drunken nights of RP to be experienced. Visit the Clubs, embrace the culture!
•Visit the Western Half of Buckley Mall, stock up on all your Survivor needs and kick back.
•Kill some Zombies! They get back up anyways, so why not get some XP for harassment? I'm sure they love dying every time they stand up.
•Kill some Humans! We appreciate all the idiots learn from their mistakes early by dying in the streets.
•Attend diligently to your Malton Communication studies. Learn some Zamgrh.
•Be a dick and spam the radio stations! And then die!
•Attend our famous clubs for pleasure. The old staffs are all dead, so new ones are needed & appreciated. Buttonville makes the best wine! Taste it!
•Roam the streets freely, say high to your fellow Buttvillies.
