== Barricade plans on seperate pages ==


== Regarding the Irish Republican Socialists Volunteers ==
I notice that the baricade plan for the Dartside suburb [[Dartside_Barricade_Plan]] lives on it's own page, instead of the main suburb page itself. I find this inconsistent with how the other suburb pages display barricade plans in the main suburb page itself (see the neighboring suburb of [[Lockettside#Barricade_plan]] for example). Is there a particular format or reason that Dartside's BP lives on a seperate page? Personally I find this annoying to click-through, as the BP offers useful tactical information, and the suburb map below it offers quick navigational links to neighbouring suburbs. Having them side-by-side in one view has an advantage. --[[User:Wez|Wez]] 11:35, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

It should be noted that the new IRSV are not connectyed to the Irish Repuiblican Army that used to be operating in the Dartside area. The former leadership of the Malton IRA is not involved in this group, and members of the old IRA that join it do so without the encouragement of their former leaders. I have chosen as a spokesman of the former leaders to make this statement known. The old IRA group has no official opinion or stance towards the new group, and it does not intend to encourage ex-members to join it, nor does it intend to speak for or against it.

==Zach's rant, et al. from the 01 November News==
 
<i>Buddy posted this same "entry" in a couple of places, at least, starting some nice little flame wars before leaving the game in a huff. It should probably just be deleted, but I shall put it here anyway... </i> --[[User:WanYao|WanYao]] 13:39, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 
I'm brand new to this game, and you can delete this all you want, but I was dumped two days ago (day before yesterday whatever that was) in front of [[Tikhon Medical]], and despite reading all I could and following the "get my bearings" directions for first day behavior? They took me out just now. This coordinated attack made it plainly impossible for me to get any tactical advantage whatsoever, or even grasp the game mechanics enough to survive. I managed to last three days at level one despite this onslaught but the Zeds were relentless, taking out three different enclosures as if they were following me. I'm sure it was just coincidental they were ransacking the entire area but it felt like a targeted onslaught towards newbs. This does not encourage me to continue playing. A friend who I encouraged to join the game after I found it died in less than one third the time it took them to get me, and now she's mad at me for suggesting this thing. It makes me look like an idiot - "oh it's fun you should try it - WHAM!"

There should be a built in system to this game that keeps 'fresh meat' level ones from being blatant cannonfodder. It's like oneshotting a level one zombie. What's the point? Anyone who does that should get XP taken away. It's despicable that this PK-like behavior towards newbs is allowed in this game. - [[User:ZachsMind|ZachsMind]] 01:21, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
:It is a zombie apocalypse, survival is supposed to be tough. Sorry they got you though. Death is a necessary part of the game, I've died probably over a hundred times - but it's tougher at low level. It's lousy luck you dropped into Malton in the middle of a mega-horde called [[The_Second_Big_Bash|the Big Bash]]. They don't happen often, but they're about as nasty as it gets. You happened upon a suburb that is collapsing under a 1,000+ zombie invasion. As for the "get your bearings" part, there are revive points around, but they'll be slow in your area because so many people have died lately. I'd suggest you shamble northward, looking for a "revive point". Grafitti usually marks them. Things seem to be quieter up north. Run to a green [[suburb]] where revives will be faster. Hope that helps, and good luck! - [[User:Elbert gray|Elbert Gray]] 01:34, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

The game is painfully imbalanced and blatantly unfriendly to newcomers, and I'm very close to just walking. There's challenging and there's just being obviously sadistic. - [[User:ZachsMind|ZachsMind]] 03:17, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
Dude, it's not the game's fault, you got super unlucky, I am sorry but that is the problem. The Big Bash is a mega horde that you got dropped right into, There was nothing you could do about it. Get to a revive point and find a Survivor held suburb, and start hunting zeds. The game is not super imbalanced to newbies. You just got really unlucky. I cleared out of Dartside a week ago, I got lucky, you didn't. I'm only lvl 2, but I still live. I am sorry dude. - George Bulst

Barricade plans on seperate pages

I notice that the baricade plan for the Dartside suburb Dartside_Barricade_Plan lives on it's own page, instead of the main suburb page itself. I find this inconsistent with how the other suburb pages display barricade plans in the main suburb page itself (see the neighboring suburb of Lockettside#Barricade_plan for example). Is there a particular format or reason that Dartside's BP lives on a seperate page? Personally I find this annoying to click-through, as the BP offers useful tactical information, and the suburb map below it offers quick navigational links to neighbouring suburbs. Having them side-by-side in one view has an advantage. --Wez 11:35, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

It's probably just a remnant of an old style. You could move the barricade plan over here if you want. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 15:29, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
