==Precisely what was this club of cultured gentlemen?==
Well chap, we were a survivor group operating out of [[Southall_Mansion|Southall Mansion]] in [[East Boundwood]]. We had no particular priority other than adding to our average level as fast as the dickens, having ourselves a good guffaw, and the occasional big game hunt -- all while being impeccably dressed and tastefully mannered.
 
==Who was at the helm of this raucous rabble?==
That is a good question old bean. No formal hierarchy existed to govern this group.  Generally decisions were made in the group's Meeting Hall by those who have the intellect and sophistication to show up and make themselves heard.  On rare occasions where a general consensus could not be reached, matters were put to a gentlemanly vote.  The majority of the group would not participate in this process and was (loosely) bound by the decisions of the fellows who did.  In some cases non-participant (uncultured) /zom/ members were not even aware that an issue was under discussion, even after a decision was reached, action was taken, Cuban cigars were smoked, and the corks came off the fine Sicilian wine.
 
==What are your thoughts on issues of the present? You have nary a cluster of unsightly templates to inform me of your policies!==
We try not to trifle in such fiddle-faddle. We act with top priority of the /zom/ estate. It is getting to be a very uncivilized and dangerous world out there, old boy, and it has been found that matters are handled best that way. Why, just the other day I had a luncheon with a good friend of mine, an oil baron as it happens, enjoys a bit of yachting he does. Having quite a time what with tariffs being in such a state, those trust busters up in the capitol, and the unions running rampant. Hard to stay in business these days he says, got to hunker down and do whatever it takes.
 
==What are you gents doing at the present? ==
Besides the usual wine tastings, games of cricket, and the rounds of fisticuffs with zombie hooligans, our members post the goings on in this section.

Precisely what was this club of cultured gentlemen?

Well chap, we were a survivor group operating out of Southall Mansion in East Boundwood. We had no particular priority other than adding to our average level as fast as the dickens, having ourselves a good guffaw, and the occasional big game hunt -- all while being impeccably dressed and tastefully mannered.

Who was at the helm of this raucous rabble?

That is a good question old bean. No formal hierarchy existed to govern this group. Generally decisions were made in the group's Meeting Hall by those who have the intellect and sophistication to show up and make themselves heard. On rare occasions where a general consensus could not be reached, matters were put to a gentlemanly vote. The majority of the group would not participate in this process and was (loosely) bound by the decisions of the fellows who did. In some cases non-participant (uncultured) /zom/ members were not even aware that an issue was under discussion, even after a decision was reached, action was taken, Cuban cigars were smoked, and the corks came off the fine Sicilian wine.

What are your thoughts on issues of the present? You have nary a cluster of unsightly templates to inform me of your policies!

We try not to trifle in such fiddle-faddle. We act with top priority of the /zom/ estate. It is getting to be a very uncivilized and dangerous world out there, old boy, and it has been found that matters are handled best that way. Why, just the other day I had a luncheon with a good friend of mine, an oil baron as it happens, enjoys a bit of yachting he does. Having quite a time what with tariffs being in such a state, those trust busters up in the capitol, and the unions running rampant. Hard to stay in business these days he says, got to hunker down and do whatever it takes.

What are you gents doing at the present?

Besides the usual wine tastings, games of cricket, and the rounds of fisticuffs with zombie hooligans, our members post the goings on in this section.
