==River==
=Archive=
I confirm the existence of a river. Screenshot coming.
--[[User:Skritz|Skritz]]
:Does it effect movement? --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 19:41, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
::You can pass through the firts few tiles into the river normally, but the deeper areas are impassible. --[[User:Hunter X|Hunter X]] 20:22, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

I wonder if it will follow the general layout as shown here: http://www.backdrifts.co.uk/bro.JPG ? I think I'll head for the south east. [[User:Iggles|Iggles]] 11:22, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
:I think the map will be a lot smaller, since the competition is to end in one month. Maybe 3x4 or 4x4? We already know that it will be at least 3x3 (district names "<cardinaldirection> Borehamwood", but there is also Elstree, which is located southwest from Borehamwood. --[[User:Tybalt Peroni|Tybalt Peroni]] 11:45, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
::That didn't mean much in Monroeville. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 11:46, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
:::Looking at the map there might be a railway station in west or south-west Borehamwood --[[User:William2|William2]] 17:36, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
::::Probably. There is a long train line. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig}} 22:09, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
:::::There's a railway station in SW BHW. "Elstre and Borehamwood Station." [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/Image:Mapboresw.PNG] --[[User:Jen|Jen]] 22:14, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 
==Creation==
I've replaced the blurb by Link The Window with some of the details we currently know. I've based it (read stolen from) on the Monroeville page. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 09:48, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
: No worries. That blurb was meant to be a stopgap anyway until more information was known. [[User:Linkthewindow|<span style="color: DodgerBlue">Linkthewindow</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Linkthewindow|<span style="color: DarkRed">Talk</span>]] </sup> 21:03, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 
== Automapper ==
 
Anyone know if a Firefox Automapper is being set up for Borehamwood? --[[User:Hunter X|Hunter X]] 10:05, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
:[[User:Duke Garland]] made one for Monroe so ask him i guess.--{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 09:54, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
::I set up a crude copy of the Malton Map, so we can add whatever we find. So far, I've seen a lot of fields and rivers. --[[User:Hunter X|Hunter X]] 10:05, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
:::I doubt the city follows that structure. Check out the [[Monroeville]] map, it'll more likely resemble that. --{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 10:16, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
::::There are alot of new things. Read found a gas station. I found a huge North to South railroad. I never made it to the end. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig}} 10:20, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
:::::We're talking about the map....but ja i saw those things too, fuckwit. Nah lol you're alright.--{{User:J3D/ciggy}} 10:28, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
::::::It was a "petrol station", also, the pubs aren't just called "Blah Arms", they have full names, one was "The Boars Head". I don't know if this was a feature in Monroeville coz I rage quitted that shitness--{{User:Sexylegsread/sig}} 11:09, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
:::::::Petrol stations appear to start doors wide open. --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 13:15, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 
Oh yeah. Mapping. --[[User:Duke Garland|<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>]] [[LCD|<nowiki>[</nowiki>]][[User talk:Duke Garland|talk]][[Signature Race|<nowiki>]</nowiki>]] 19:19, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 
You can see '''my''' progress at [[User:Duke_Garland/BHW]]. i'm adding other people's stuff only from  iwitty this time, ''capice''? --[[User:Duke Garland|<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>]] [[LCD|<nowiki>[</nowiki>]][[User talk:Duke Garland|talk]][[Signature Race|<nowiki>]</nowiki>]] 21:08, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 
== Media in Borehamwood ==
 
I found 2 newspapers looking for first aid kits, thought I'd share the local news with everyone.--[[User:DI Marc Sweeny|DI Sweeny]] 10:47, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
[[Image:BB paper1.jpg]]
 
[[Image:BB paper2.jpg]]
 
:Found a newspaper too (after using 15AP I ended up with 5 FAK's and one Newspaper). {{udspan|It's a recent tabloid. The main story seems to be about Marky from Big Brother.}} - [[User:Whitehouse]] 14:48, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 
== relationships ==
 
South B starts at y=66. Directly below central B. --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 13:13, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
:South B also starts at x=544, (unsurprisingly) directly east of SW B. --[[User:Tybalt Peroni|Tybalt Peroni]] 16:11, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
::I have aligned South B suburb map so that location1 starts at 544-66, but I'm running out of the 10x10 grid to the south. I'll rest a bit and try to find southern border. --[[User:Tybalt Peroni|Tybalt Peroni]] 16:19, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 
==Obvious==
Petrol stations contain fuel cans. I know. Amazing. --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 13:19, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 
==CCTV==
 
Not sure if this is unique to Borehamwood, but it's the first time I've noticed them.
 
{{udspan|In an unlit side room, you can see a darkened CCTV console.}} inside Grinter Terrace Police Station.
 
{{udspan|Mounted on the walls of the building are several CCTV cameras.}} outside Bewsey Grove Police Station.
 
{{udspan|A defunct cashpoint machine has a CCTV camera mounted above it.}} outside Haselshaw Bank.
 
I guess they are most likely just for flavor purposes. - [[User:Whitehouse]] 14:29, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
:There was one outside the O'lEary building as well.--{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 14:34, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
::I've seen several of them as well, with CCTV consoles mostly in police stations. A wild idea is, that once they are powered, we will be able to peek inside of the Big Brother house (check wikipedia for Dead Set episodes short synopsis, in one of them a character from outside does just that. Although, this being CCTV system, it will probably only monitor few nearby cameras. --[[User:Tybalt Peroni|Tybalt Peroni]] 16:09, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 
:::I think I found one in a street --[[User:William2|William2]] 16:53, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
::::Yup, they're out there as well. --[[User:Jen|Jen]] 17:58, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 
{{udspan|A battered portable generator has been set up here. It is running, and powering a dented radio transmitter that's currently set to 27.56 MHz. In a side room, you can see the glowing screen of a CCTV console.}}
 
Button "View CCTV" produces:
 
{{udspan|The console is showing a view of Denney Lane.}}
 
Button "Switch CCTV camera":
 
{{udspan|The screen flickers, and the console shows a view of Craddy Road.}}
 
Neither Denney Lane nor Craddy Road are amongst 1-block-away streets.

== Map Relations ==
 
So. Weve got all the compass points for Borehamwood now. What about these other 3 locations. Anyone know where they are in relation? --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 15:13, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
:They are also bigger than 10*10 areas. Please god automap! --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 15:24, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
::Jens scouting suggests 15*15 areas, with all the west being transected by a railway line. --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 17:42, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
:::I dunno...I'd bet it's probably more like Monroeville, with all sorts of crazy boundaries. :( A nice clean 15x15 would be much easier to figure out, though, so I hope you're right.
:::In either case...BWHAHAHA! ANOTHER HARDCORE MAP! I think I'm going to be abandoning Malton for a while... :D --[[User:Jen|Jen]] 17:49, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
::::Yep. If extinction overtake the pask building today, we'll know why. --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 17:50, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
:::::Ive created the [[Template:Railway]] so it can be mapped. Garages are the same as autorepairs aren't they? Not as garages, its just how theyve been marked on some maps. --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 18:51, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
I set up a basic grid on the map - it doesn't update dangers - but it will almost certainly need expanding and moving. --[[User:Hunter X|Hunter X]] 18:58, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
:Its a start though. I'll add a note. --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 19:00, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 
::Here's some corners: --[[User:Jen|Jen]] 21:08, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 
::[[Image:Mapborecorners.PNG|200px]]
 
==Suburb Templates==
At the moment they're all geared towards Malton, and as such are full of non relevant stuff. Ive stolen some basic stuff from the monroeville maps and mocked up a basic one for [[Northwest Borehamwood]] (Just altered the template code and pasted it) improve, or steal the code, whatever. --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 19:29, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 
== Main Page ==
 
Can someone with the appropriate privilages add a link to Borehamwood on the index of the wiki please? --[[User:Hunter X|Hunter X]] 20:24, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
:Dont know if anyone is online. Ive added a link in the news section at the top of the page for now, --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 20:32, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 
== Mall? ==
 
If anyone finds a mall I and probably a lot of other people would like to know. So if you find one, post here and tell us which part of the city it's in. Thanks. --[[User:Robert Riste|Robert Riste]] 22:38, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
