''Trivia: The [[Malton|City of Malton]] is not an sovereign entity, and thus the Malton Department of Defense would not have been based in Malton. This means that the Department of Defense would have originally been based in the larger country, of which Malton is a part. Given the [[Pre-Outbreak_History_of_Malton|purported location of Malton]], it is most likely that the original and current external department is known as the Ministry of Defence of The United Kingdom. Although documents from the early quarantine period have been lost, it is speculated that the breakaway military units that formed the MDD chose the name of the American agency to distinguish themselves from the [[External Military]] force.'' | ''Trivia: The [[Malton|City of Malton]] is not an sovereign entity, and thus the Malton Department of Defense would not have been based in Malton.

===Goals and Objectives=== | ===<font color="#006633">'''Goals and Objectives'''</font>=== | ||
As a Malton Department of Defense member, your job is to keep Malton as a whole free of hostiles at all times, and to keep all survivors healed up with a safe place to spend the night. This is a huge task, and of course can never be fully completed. The MDD operates mainly within the most heavily populated suburbs, however, we hope to one day protect all of Malton. This is where you, as a MDD member, will be doing most of your day to day jobs whether it is healing civilians, shooting zombies, or watching barricades. We want to make Malton as safe as possible so that the survivors may better help themselves. We will work with all pro-survivor groups and will assist them as needed. The main orders are always posted on the [[Malton Department of Defense|main wiki page]] and the [http://z15.invisionfree.com/MDD/index.php? forum]. All members should always follow these orders unless more pressing matters occur. Now and then, an emergency may pop up. If this happens, all MDD members will be issued alternate orders depending on rank. | As a Malton Department of Defense member, your job is to keep Malton as a whole free of hostiles at all times, and to keep all survivors healed up with a safe place to spend the night.

===Combat Patrol=== | ===<font color="#006633">'''Combat Patrol'''</font>=== | ||
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. | The '''Combat Patrol''' is a general, anti-zombie member.

===Combat Medic=== | ===<font color="#006633">'''Combat Medic'''</font>=== | ||
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. | The '''Combat Medic''' is the most important member of any MDD unit, as they keep other personnel alive and in the fight.

===Scout=== | ===<font color="#006633">'''Scout'''</font>=== | ||
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. | The '''Scout''' is a fast moving, non-combat oriented member who generates status reports and locates routes ahead of other MDD forces.

As a MDD member, certain things are expected of you. We hope to see the MDD become one of the biggest groups ingame, and in turn, one of the ones looked to most to set an example for other people/groups. We expect you to have good sportsmanship towards allies as well as enemies (even if they don't give it to you). We expect you to follow the rules set by your peers. They don't make them because they like talking. They want everyone to be on the same page, and they want the MDD to be looked up to as a quality group, with quality members. We also expect you to devote '''one''' character to the MDD cause at all times. This is your group as much as it is anyone else's, and your help is never trivial. | As a MDD member, certain things are expected of you.

== <font color="#006633">'''Section 8 - MDD HQ'''</font> == | |||
The MDD operates a TACHQ, or Tactical Headquarters wherever our forces are. The exact type and location of the building is randomly chosen based on the best intelligence available from an area before an operation begins. If, during an operation, the position of the TACHQ becomes untenable, it may be moved by a local field commander. | |||
Depending on operations and general Malton conditions, SACHQs may be set up. SACHQ, or Strategic Auxiliary Headquarters, serves as an oversight post outside of a general operation area, and may be utilized as a fallback point if the TACHQ is overrun. | |||
===<font color="#006633">'''Emergency Conditions'''</font>=== | |||
No matter how safe the suburb, when enough zombies roll in, feral or grouped, it may be time for the [[barricades]] to be brought over Very Strongly. The MDD utilizes the [[Malton Department of Defense/DEFCON|DEFCON]] threat level indicator. The only people who may initiate Emergency Condition Status are the Secretary of Defense and other Command Officers. When Emergency Conditions are called, barricade the TACHQ to Extremely Heavily and you can choose to either stay inside, or move to adjacent buildings/TRPs to do attack/heal/revive runs. If Emergency Conditions are called, '''ALL''' MDD personnel are expected to come to the suburb to defend it. Not doing so may result in punishment unless a better reason is supplied (ex: Tied up in another issue of more importance). | |||
== Section 9 - Spying == | [[AP]] Conservation during an emergency is important. When the area is under attack, try and use your AP in shifts if you're going to be at your computer for any length of time. That way, your character can be active in more than one break in. If a zombie is in the area, but inactive, don't waste all your AP killing it. Someone else will be more than willing. Barricades are the only thing survivors have to really shut the Zombie Forces down. Remember: We take more AP to revive and get back into the action then you killing one extra zombie. Open doors can potentially kill dozens of people. | ||
If the area is overrun, or it is so close that there is nothing anyone can do to save it, a retreat will be called by SECDEF, a unit leader, or an officer. (Though, of course if everyone is dead, no one would really care if you ran.) The MDD Fallback Point is the closest SACHQ or Regional Office. If no other building is available, the closest [[mall]] may be commandeered. Go there, restock and prepare for the zombies to follow. They don't always, but the more persistent ones do. Once in safety, MDD rule still applies BUT it is not our area. We DO NOT give orders to anyone but our own men. Other groups may control the area, and everything that goes on from barricades to fall back points. MDD officers will most likely brief you anyway on what the current locations rules are. | |||

We '''DO NOT''' spy on zombie/enemy groups. Period. People caught doing so will be judged and punished accordingly.

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. | We '''DO NOT''' spy on zombie/enemy groups. Period.

Note: Although only one character you control may be a member of the MDD, it is acceptable for your Alt characters to interact with other MDD members, as long as it is not in a group related manner. The only exception to this is in the case of the MDD Training Program, where members may lend the services of '''one''' zombie Alt to help train low level recruits. | Note: Although only one character you control may be a member of the MDD, it is acceptable for your Alt characters to interact with other MDD members, as long as it is not in a group related manner.

The MDD Badge ("Malton Department of Defense" in a player's profile) holds a lot of weight ingame. We aim to be one of the most respected and highly held groups ingame due to the way we run our group, and the way we play. Wearing this badge does not give you the power to push people around. 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. | The MDD Badge ("Malton Department of Defense" in a player's profile) holds a lot of weight ingame.
