== East Becktown cade plan ==


== Static Status Maps ==
Hey Johnny, just wanted to say, if you want to change around expected cade levels in East Becktown make sure to leave a message at [[Talk:East Becktown Barricade Plan]] in case anyone has objections. I wouldn't expect anyone to as East Becktown is [[:Category:UBP non-compliant plans|UBP non-compliant]], but given that most of the cade plans have been in operation for years, it's good to give people a heads up. And don't forget to edit the [[East Becktown Barricade Plan|actual barricade plan]] a few days afterwards. {{User:Bob Moncrief/Sig}} 18:09, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
:Hi Bob, I added the barricade levels of the Barricade Plan that is advertized on the suburb page to all EHB and VSB buildings. I know there were some pretty old policies that went against that (mostly decade-old PLEB policies), but I didn't really change the barricade plan that is currently in place AFAIK. {{User:Peralta/Signature}} 18:25, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
::Ok, cool. {{User:Bob Moncrief/Sig}} 18:41, 6 June 2016 (UTC)


Ok so here's the skinny on saving a map statically. Right click on a page with a map and select ''View Page Source'' from there just copy the table's code and suddenly you have a static map with little clean up.
== North Blythville Group Listing ==


{{User:Peralta/Mappie}}
Hey man, groups listed in Suburb group listings are required to have a wiki page. Is "The Scourge" [[The Undying Scourge]]? I've removed the listing in North Blythville for now, but if you make a wiki page for the group (or link it to one already existing), feel free to re-add it. Cheers! {{User:Bob Moncrief/Sig}} 15:12, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
:I was working on it when you posted this, so I basicly messed up the order of things. Thanks for the heads up tho. And no, The Scourge is a new zombie group that started on NecroConnect. {{User:Peralta/Signature}} 15:19, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
::Yep, just saw your post there. Once you've claimed the page ([URL=http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=The_Scourge&redirect=no direct link]) you can do the various other relevant tasks. ^_^ {{User:Bob Moncrief/Sig}} 15:20, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

As I said on the page in question, can you provide me with a list of Groups who have a no random revive policy? I'd actually like to discuss the issue with them. --[[User talk:Rosslessness|Ross Less Ness]] <sup>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERLLUoZn0mM Enter Stranger...]</sup>  15:22, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Hey. One question. Towards the end several survivors seemed to be using blackmore itself as an indoor RP. Was this an established part of the plan or just some individuals? --[[User talk:Rosslessness|Ross Less Ness]] <sup>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERLLUoZn0mM Enter Stranger...]</sup>  16:11, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the catch. They have two timestamps in their ad, so when I went searching for June timestamps, I found their older timestamp, didn't look closely enough to realize that it was from last year, and removed the ad, never noticing that they had another timestamp at the bottom that was up to date. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 16:14, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
:Coincidence mostly. {{User:Peralta/Signature}} 16:27, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

Maybe one when I decided on a whim to join the [[Browncoats]]? Not a lot. I've done the Manhunts and [[Red October]] a few times, but I've never really felt it. I think the issue is that over time I've abandoned survivor tactics, playing either as zombies or ghost town, combat reviving survivors. I think the issue might be that I hate to reload. --[[User talk:Rosslessness|Ross Less Ness]] <sup>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERLLUoZn0mM Enter Stranger...]</sup>  15:48, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

:::::::::::As do I, but the payoff is great. There's nothing quite like seeing the message saying you killed someone for the fourth (or even fifth) time in the span of a few minutes, or being able to make a speech in a mall and then clear that mall with a few of your friends.

Guys, question. Whats the typical PK'er turnout for a major event Like Sanhaim in 2012? Is it organised groups or just posts on places like the PKA?--[[User talk:Rosslessness|Ross Less Ness]] <sup>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERLLUoZn0mM Enter Stranger...]</sup>  21:22, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
[[File:Demo18 scr.jpg|400px]]
:I'm guessing most of us would rather not advertise our numbers so openly (the Philosophe Knights routinely change group tags, so although we blipped onto the stats page during the strike, we disappeared again shortly thereafter as we changed our tags). That said, we had enough this year to easily clear a populated mall and then move on to secondary targets, so that should give you a ballpark idea. There were several organized and recognized groups committed to it this year, each of which attended with several of its members, as well as a handful of individuals in attendance, I believe. {{User:Aichon/Psig}} 21:45, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
::Yeah, it's kind of why I had to ask the question. I always assumed that combined you'd have a comparable number of people to the larger survivor groups.

:::That is probably close enough for a generalization.  I've never understood the changing/dropping tags thing. --[[Image:Kirsty_Cotton_Header.png|60px|Open the Box|link=User:Kirsty_cotton]] <sub>[[Organization_XIII|<span style="color: grey">Org XIII</span>]]</sub> <sup>[[User:Kirsty_cotton/alts|<span style="color: blue">Alts</span>]]</sup> 22:40, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
::::I experienced this first hand when we were fighting The Dead in Dunell Hills: while the alternating tags won't confuse experienced players who keep track of PKers and have been around long enough to recognize them, it ''will'' create a ton of confusion and slow down FAKing, reviving and clog communication channels. Basicly bounty hunting and primary goals (like conquering and rebuilding etc.) won't be slowed down, but your entire support structure is just bogged down to an abominable pace {{wink}} {{User:Peralta/Signature}} 22:51, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
:::::Thanks, although its not "my" support network. I get jittery in any group on the stats page. --[[User talk:Rosslessness|Ross Less Ness]] <sup>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERLLUoZn0mM Enter Stranger...]</sup>  22:58, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
::::::It was just an example {{wink}} {{User:Peralta/Signature}} 23:02, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
::::We do it for a variety of reasons, not least of which is that it's simply easier to procure random aid when you don't have to deal with the stigma that your group name carries. There's a reason why [[User:Aichon/Characters/Doug_ColIins|this fake character page]] continues to be the link provided in my in-game profile. Other reasons we change tags include the previously-mentioned sowing of confusion, simply differentiating ourselves within the group (we have several subgroups within the Knights, so we use those tags at times), or else for plain anonymity in the case of several of our secret members. {{User:Aichon/Psig}} 23:13, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
