:Grand. I just shuffled some things a bit, make them more readable (well, imo anyway). I actually like the current page. It presents the group briefly (good intro, Dub), then cuts the nonsense and provides ''actual useful information'' for people surviving in the zone we're working in. I find that quite distinctive. Refreshing, in fact, very different from the more common, barely readable, self-referential, ego wanking you find out there. | :Grand.

:Go ahead with the template. I've got to say, to tell the truth, I quite like it as it is, with the default look - I'd just add a neat small logo. See it's light and quick, explicitly designed to load fast and be easily readable, you don't have to learn to use the bloody page just to find something there. But yeah, I'm sort of an ergonomics fundamentalist haha, I'm well aware people do care for colour. So beautify it by all means. --[[User:Hashk/Sophie Ames|Sophie Ames]] 17:15, 8 February 2009 (UTC) | :Go ahead with the template.

You know, tactically, we're learning something here. I'd been going about things all wrong, trying to rally enough support to take back the whole suburb at once -that was the wrong way to go about it. What we needed was one significant public step towards re-establishing the suburb - in this case, Lumber Mall. Retaking that mall, and publicizing it over the local airwaves, was the critical action that began to rally survivor assistance. From that point, all we had to do was begin to retake, repair, and repower the most essential critical infrastructure elements and other survivors began returning to assist with the cause. I'd say this is a damned good tactical template for us to use, whichever Red Zone we hit next --[[User:DubStreet|DubStreet]] 08:47, 9 February 2009 (UTC) | |||

Group Page
Very basic page setup done, so we have a place to discuss the full page construction work as it progresses. --Sophie Ames 22:52, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
Our Mission
I'm beginning work on a mission statement for our organization - once I've got a little more time, I'm going to grab one of the existing group templates and modify it for our use, to make the page a little more attractive, since an inviting group page is our second best recruitment tool - the best, of course, being ourselves and our actions in the field. --DubStreet 12:15, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
