| I have a proposal for all the survivors of Borehamwood. In order to keep the zombies from winning just like they did in Monroeville, I suggest that we form a "supra-coalition" or something of the sort. My proposal is to add every non-PKer/GK-er/Death Cultist human that one crosses paths with into a list of contacts with the same color. With this, we will know who our true allies are. Then, once one dies, humans will be able to recognize zombies and vice versa. All survivors should pledge not to attack humans if they die, and humans in return should not attack zombies that they recognize from the contact list. This way, humans actually have a shot at surviving as they are left at a huge disadvantage due to the lack of revives. This would balance the game out a bit by keeping humans on an even ground with those who actually start off as zombies. --[[User:Ragrillo|Ragrillo]] 01:07, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

| == Naming whilst mapping ==
| |
| | |
| By and large there will be no location pages for individual locations (that is specific named places rather than generic buildings such as "a factory") in Borehamwood yet.
| |
| | |
| If our intrepid mappers could please check their links after they update their entries, if their link is blue (i.e. live) then chances are that it's a name already used by a place in Malton. As per wiki naming conventions the link should be altered.
| |
| | |
| For example, The Shiel Building is in both Malton and West Borehamwood.
| |
| | |
| The link <nowiki>[[The Shiel Building]]</nowiki> directs a user to [[The Shiel Building]] in Malton.
| |
| | |
| The Borehamwood link should be rendered as <nowiki>[[The Shiel Building (Borehamwood)|The Shiel Building]]</nowiki> which will be a red (i.e. dead) link until the page is created, for example [[The Shiel Building (Borehamwood)|The Shiel Building]].
| |
| | |
| In time disambiguation pages will need to be made to allow users to find the two locations from one search, and utilising these naming conventions now will allow us to find them easier to perform these tasks.
| |
| | |
| Doing this helps the newbies find where there are, especially players who have come aboard with this new promotion and may not yet be familiar with Malton.
| |
| | |
| Cross posting this to all Borehamwood suburb talk pages so that everyone sees it.
