Extinction/History

<< Return to Extinction

1. Mar 07 - Founded March 07 in Peddlesden Village by Dr'Brainz, Extinction developed its initial tactics battering down the barricades at the Bascombe NT against a dedicated DHPD contingent.
2. Jun 07 - After initial success against the DHPD Peddlesden was re-barricaded and Dr'Brainz formulates the corner policy. Take a corner suburb with only three neighbours, destroy the revives and spread out from that base. Extinction thus withdraws from Peddlesden towards Dakerstown via Roywood in early June 07.
3. Jun 07 - Following the blitzkrieg through Roywood the Pask NT in Dakerstown is targeted and the ensuing battle against the recently united survivor groups under the leadership of the Crimson Clan results in the collapse of coordinated survivor resistance and the establishment of the Dakerstown Extinction Zone.
4. Jun 07 - Extinction then splits into two forces, one heading east into Jensentown the other back through devastated Roywood and both meeting up in a classic pincer movement overwhelming The Grove stronghold of Brentnall PD in Judgewood. In just four weeks the original core of the NW Malton Extinction Zone forms around the four smashed suburbs and Salt the Land becomes a UD reality.
5. Jul 07 - The next target was Quarlesbank whose Calvert Mall and NT's are a refuge and revive base for the survivor groups attempting to reclaim their homes in the far NW. With the fall of Quarlesbank the NW core Extinction Zone expands to cover the 6 suburbs from Dakerstown and Roywood to Quarlesbank and Gatcombeton. With the Zombie bastion of Eastonwood to our south east this dead zone remained a stronghold of the Zombie Apocalypse in Malton for over one year until the Eastonwood Ferals disbanded in September 08.
6. Aug 07 - In close coordination with LUE Extinction makes a dash from the newly ruined Calvert Mall to meet up with a large Zombie force in Darvall Heights and participates in the extraordinarily fun First Ruin of Caiger Mall.
7. Aug-Sep 07 - In the ensuing bloodbath and feral Zombie stampede the Extinction Zone rapidly expands south via the Becktowns and Molebank as far as Wykewood by early September.
8. Aug-Sep 07 - At the same time an Extinction squad is sent east through the West and East Boundwoods and Lamport Hills following the feral wave into Chancelwood as far as the Them stronghold at Haslock NT.
9. Sep-Dec 07 -

   The remarkable success of Extinction tactics, such as active communications with feral Zombies, targeting NT's first to hobble survivor responses and actively seeking out coordination with any and all Zombie groups, along with our strategic gameplay locking in one ruined suburb after another, helped in the formation of the wider NW Extinction Zone that engulfed Malton after the LUE ruin rampage.

The wider dead zone was, however, fragile and very few Zombie groups shared our vision of UD as a Zombie Apocalypse game. Once the touring groups left Extinction found itself vastly overstretched attempting to cover the territory and this, combined with severe player fatigue amongst the leadership after almost four months of intensive coordinated gameplay, led to the collapse of the Extinction Zone back to its core plus the surrounding suburbs of Caiger to the south and the Boundwoods to the east.
