Regarding the Irish Republican Socialists Volunteers

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

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... --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!" IF I WANTED TO START A ZED I WOULDA ROLLED ONE UP. 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. - 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 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! - Elbert Gray 01:34, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Elbert, I don't care if it's a big bash or a halloween hootenanny. IF I WANTED TO START A ZED I WOULDA ROLLED ONE UP. 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. - 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

Second Big Bash

In order to help future attempts by Survivors to coordinate a response to the 2nd Big Bash, I have set up a page specifically for this purpose called "Survivors vs The Second Big Bash". Please add any news on this page, and any ideas for strategy on the discussion page. Good luck! --Richardhg 03:55, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Those in Dartside at the moment should run for their lives. -- John Rubin^{T! ZG} 15:01, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Revive Points

If you know something about the revive points, please tell (and edit) or clear the revive point list.. -- /// goebi^{TalkHelp/LFS/SR/NT/_MWP} /// 23:08, 2 June 2007 (BST)

is anyone doing revives in Dartside? i have a character waiting at the Abarrow Monument, i registered with the DEM and everything...--WanYao 03:37, 25 July 2007 (BST)

Try Taylor next 'burb right or Lyng. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 03:38, 25 July 2007 (BST)

taylour lane in kinch? hmnnnn... i might as well head that way, nothing is happening here, thanks. --WanYao 05:03, 25 July 2007 (BST)

Abarrow is maintained by the Regulators Alliance when possible. The DEM has nothing to do with it, therefore your request would not be seen. The link for the RA revives forum was removed from the Dartside page when the mods ransacked it and removed all group information to standardize all of the suburb pages. --Queen Mum 15:41, 25 July 2007 (BST)

Dem also maintains a central revive page with all suburbs clocking in. Abarrow is listed there with who maintains it. It's a good page to check, as I believe it is updated to reflect current status. Do as Queen Mum has directed you, if your still in Dartside.--John Blast 02:31, 11 August 2007 (BST)

I put them back, albeit in the TRP block; also restored the link to the RP list. BTW, the guy who deleted those links isn't a mod, just a regular user with an axe to grind. -- Atticus Rex ^{mfu pif} Δ 02:34, 11 August 2007 (BST)

--Also, the Revive system is down. It should be up anytime, but MFU members are manually checking Crumpler Road 36, 82 daily. For more on the revive tool, read here please: http://z14.invisionfree.com/Brainstock/index.php?showtopic=6900

Overbarricading is still a really serious problem. It is becoming difficult to do anything but hang around the same building. Everywhere I go I am hindered by EHBs. Please think of the survivors and keep it at VSB unless there are zombies around. Don't make it impossible for survivors to enter!

How did we let this happen? Once the safest suburb now at Dangerous in 2 days?
