Would-be retired PKers will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. MCM reserves the right to expel griefers.

But I want to shoot things! Can I still join?

Of course! Life in Malton is hazardous, and hospital security is often called on to eject unruly zombie visitors. MCM staff and students often carry guns, and it's helpful to have scouts who can secure buildings along the routes of the medic runs.

FAQs for non-students

What qualifications do you people possess to open an institution of higher learning in Malton?

Um, we're alive in a zombie apocalypse?

Why the role playing? Isn't that just a waste of AP?

If a faculty member spends just one AP talking in order to save another survivors a day's worth of AP, that's a net gain of 99 AP. Haven't survivors as a whole benefited that way? New survivors aren't dumb, they're just uninformed. Often they have questions but don't know who to ask or where to go. The MCM faculty is just a collection of people who like helping new survivors and who enjoy each other's company.

But seriously, why the role playing? Why not just give out the information in a straightforward lecture?

We do give lectures, and very good ones. But we make even our lectures as humorous as we can. After all, if all we did was drone on, that would be sooooo boring. Didn't you get enough of that in school?

Where's your forum?

MCM's forum is here.

You don't award real degrees! It's not realistic! Duh!

I'll bet you can't actually carry three generators, seven shotguns, and jump from rooftop to rooftop, either. One word: zombies!.


If you have any further questions, please do ask on the discussion page.
