* The ''' | * The '''Combat Engineer''', who repairs buildings, restores barricades, and maintains generators | ||
* The '''Scout''', the intelligence gatherer, who conducts reconnaissance. | |||
=== | ===Combat Patrol=== | ||
The ''' | The '''Combat Patrol''' is a general, anti-zombie member. Combat Patrol personnel handle a wide range of tasks, including but not limited to: zombie destruction, repairing ruined buildings, installing and refueling generators, making regular status reports, maintaining barricade levels, and assisting allied groups. While Combat Patrol will provide FAKs and revives as needed, this task is mainly relegated to the Combat Medic. The Combat Patrol emphasizes direct fire-fights with the undead, and as such, the typical Combat Patrol loadout focuses on firearms. | ||
===Combat Medic=== | |||
The '''Combat Medic''' is the most important member of any MDD unit, as they keep other personnel alive and in the fight. Combat Medics are dedicated to healing and reviving civilians and MDD personnel. While they do occasionally gun down attacking zeds, Combat Medics usually remain in secured areas and establish mobile medical centers for the other personnel and local survivors. Combat Medics typically care few, if any firearms, and instead maximize on their supply of FAKs and syringes. | |||
===Combat Engineer=== | |||
The '''Combat Engineer''' is a unique role in that members do not focus on zombies at all. Instead, | |||
Combat Engineers carry a loadout comprised entirely of building maintenance equipment. Engineers will not participate in firefights, but will instead move in after all the zombies are down and restore the buildings to full operation. | |||
=== | ===Scout=== | ||
The '''Scout''' is a fast moving, non-combat oriented member who generates status reports and locates routes ahead of other MDD forces. When not otherwise occupied, the Scout will usually assume a secondary role of Patrol, Engineer, or Medic. The scout does not actually require a loadout, but usually carries a changing, mixed-manifest depending on the presumed condition of the recon location. | |||

===High Command=== | |||
- The General Officer (GO) oversees general operations of the MDD. | |||
- | - The Chief Medical Officer (CMO) oversees all medical operations of the MDD. | ||

This includes, but is not limited to, [[PKer]] groups, [[Zerging]] groups, groups proven to be spying on us, and [[Griefer]] groups. Any claims that the MDD has been caught spying should be brought up to MDD High Command with the appropriate evidence. We take such accusations very seriously because we are an [[Roleplaying|RP]] group. We try and do our best to keep our intel gained by ingame means, or means that our characters presumably could accomplish ingame. Punishment can be anywhere from a slap on the wrist and a week with rank stripped, to a complete permaban from our group. | ||

Mobile Revive Points may be established by MDD personnel in suburbs with large numbers of downed survivors and a significant security threat. These points will not use preexisting revive points, but rather a rotating selection of randomly chosen areas. Look for appropriate signage wherever MDD personnel are active. | |||

That is not what the goal of the MDD is all about. We will make our name in Malton because of how well we use the power we have. When wearing the tags, make sure you are doing your best to be a good sport, respectful and helpful ingame. [[Griefing]] STARTED by our group will not be tolerated. We might grief a griefer group, but we sure as hell will not start it. If you wear our badge, hold your head high. You are part of the strongest and most tight knit group of survivors ingame. | ||
