Best Team of 2008:
Anaconda: The Original Fortress Combat Team
Nickname - The Condas
When Fortress Four - the original Fortress - was finally secured in September 2005, The Ears organised a roaming squad to explore the nearby suburbs and report back its findings. He didn't realise at the time that this brave squad of vigilant crusaders, including legends Jensonson, Fet, Fishel and LePaige, and led by Bensonson, would form the initial Anaconda combat team. Three years later and the team is unrecognisable from its humble early days. Anaconda, named for being team 'A' of The Fortress, is a considerable force to be reckoned with. The History of Anaconda Commander Bensonson led the Condas for a remarkable 78 days before it was finally revealed that Jensonson - his older brother - was in fact the mysterious force behind The Fortress itself. Then, as Battlehawk and Cold Cell were launched, Commander and Fortress Legend DeathAxe took up the reigns and led them for a tremendous 140 days. DeathAxe set the standard for the group - he was solid, consistant and demanded regular activity and reporting - Condas played things by the book - and in many ways they wrote the book. Reporting styles, group tactics, teamwork and many other innovations were developed by Anaconda. Jensonson and Danny Lee led the Condas solidly for many more months and the squad was set with rigid discipline and procedures - ready for the innovation of Legend, Tommy Crowbar. The 400+ day reign of Commander Crowbar pushed Anaconda to new heights as he built, and rebuilt the team on three occassions to lead the way in Fortress combat work in Malton.
Commander Miss Elainious - Extremely active and organised individual that has high expectations of her troops. Activity and mission awareness is a must. Preferred style of MSN communications and real-time ops. Miss E will teach any soldier a hell of a lot and offer all the support you could need. Under Commander Elainious you will gain great rewards if you put in your own effort.

2008 Operations
Anaconda moved to Quarlesbank, home of the infamous Lord Pitman. The burb was red, red with the blood of those who succumbed to the horrors wrought by the evil Lord himself, seen lurking about watching our every move. Anaconda was on a mission to recover this Suburb so that The Fortress could celebrate all hallows eve in the Pitman mansion with friends and allies. In less than a week Anaconda helped to turn this dangerous red suburbs light yellow and laugh in the face of the dastardly Lord P as Zeratul and Charlie cut him down twice on his own doorstep!
Anaconda moved to the north to take back Yagoton & East Boundwood. It was a treacherous assignment, both suburbs were red and zed filled. Several ancients were seen shambling around the area coupled with a high concentration of PKers. Anaconda bravely withstood the pressure and forged a new alliance for The Fortress in the process with The Abandoned, showing them they were not really abandoned at all. Survivors stand together united. Anaconda recovered targeted resource buildings, cleared the RPs and still found time to retake Bale Mall.
Anaconda embark on a fun-filled friendly competition. Use the forum dice-rolling feature we were divided into two teams, the highest rolls in Team High Rollers and the lowest rolls in Team Low Riders. For two weeks the teams criss-crossed Malton in a race to complete a set f objective in 6 separate suburbs and receive a suburb stamp on their passport.This mission required coordination, cooperation, organization, strategic thinking and planning between team members. Competitive juices were flowing, much team building ensued and in the end team High Rollers persevered and completed their passport first for the win!
The MoB had invaded Hollomstown and it's famous cheese factory stealing The Fortress' PayCheese! Anaconda rallied to the cause chasing MoB from Hollomstown, through East Grayside and into West Grayside repairing damage as they went. We finally caught up with the dastardly perpetrators in West Grayside, rebuilding the area and securing our cheese supply.
Olympic fever hit Malton and Anaconda held their own Sporting Event in the suburbs of Stanbury Village & Ridleybank. Anaconda members put in an outstanding performance and many medal races were very close. LT Terk did a supurb job of maintaining a scoreboard and tallying statistics to allow each contestant know just where he stood.The fact that the hotly contested Nichols Mall and Went NT were also retaken and held was just gravy.
Anaconda worked to restore Hildebrand with Battlehawk who were leading an operation in the Roftwood area then lashed back at the RRF by reclaiming Stanbury Village ending with reclaiming Nichols mall, undoing much of the havoc the horde had reeked.
Team Anaconda once again joined forces with their good friends in Battlehawk to retake and hold Marven Mall agains the MoB. This was done with breathtaking speed and ease. We came, we saw. we conquered. Anaconda was even presented with a stuffed bear and a moose head by grateful locals. Unfortunately the bear turned out to be Jay Gorman, the bear of BH's cousin, but as they say, 'it's the thought that counts' .
There where people starving in East Becktown, and the desolated Northwest. They needed aid. They needed refreshment. They needed..a picnic? Team Anaconda and Battlehawk once again joined forces in East Becktown and beyond, where sandwiches are salvation. Retaking Caiger mall among many buildings, this was truly a strange picnic indeed.
Caiger Mall and the Pitman Mansion are one of the few landmark in the fearsome northwest. An exciting adventure spanning four suburb, Operation: Heritage was worth the risk for many 'Conda. Their objective was to quickly repair any buildings through the northwest repairing as they moved up to Quarlesbank, home of Lord Pitman and the historic Pitman Mansion. The operation ended with the retaking of the Pitman mansion, and a big party.
The team worked through the suburbs of Scarletwood, Danversbank and Whittenside clearing, repairing, barricading, healing and reviving before joining with allies and teams Cold Cell and Dark watch to retake Fort Perryn. An outstanding real time coordinated strike between the three Fortress teams and allies in the Canonball Crew, Fort Perryn Defence Force and Creedy Defence resulted in the decisive victory of a swift and successful claiming of the Fort.
Northern Malton had been flattened by the hordes, specifically The Dead whose soul objective was to destroy all life in Malton. The northern half of Malton had become one giant red zone and The Dead had turned their hungry eyes to the south. Their southern hordes have not been as successful and they have begun to move some of their numbers south to reinforce the southern hordes. As they sent numbers south and the RRF returned to their home in Ridleybank, Anaconda bypassed them and moved northward and into the northeast to restore life and light. Travelling through Roachtown, Santlerville up into Dulston, the operation ended with a final standoff which saw Anaconda and allies repel The Dead and force their retreat.
The 5 battle teams of The Fortress united for an operation lasting 35 days. Engaging allies The Fortress moved through moved through 12 suburbs and was instrumental in 9 mall recoveries. On average the united teams recovered a suburb every 3 days.
Team Anaconda worked with allies to defend the suburbs of Scarletwood and Gulsonside from the RRF. Anaconda was instrumental in taking back Blesely mall and multiple resource buildings.
Anaconda worked with the Fortress 4 defence team and Boot Camp recruits to defend Boot Camp, recover Fortress 4 and the surrounding suburb as well as retaking a nearby mall for supplies. The suburb was upgraded from dangerous and remained so throughout the operation, even as neighbouring suburbs fell.
Anaconda moved to Darkerston and worked to reclaim resource building in an area held by Extinction. The team recovered several buildings in the initial day and to execute over 30 zombies during the 4 days of operations. Enemy numbers became overwhelming however, when news of survivor presence drew them from surrounding suburbs.
Team Anaconda had been doing an excellent job holding off the Big Bash raiders in Gidding Mall. Operation Armageddon was a huge success and Anaconda continued to work together as a team to develop their strike coordination and to continue the efforts for The Fortress in this famous "Siege of Giddings Mall (Big Bash ’08)". Team Anaconda along with support from our friends in Team Dark Watch performed numerous real time raids on the Big Bash horde at Giddings Mall and helped repel the zombie forces for over a week with no casualties.
Anaconda worked with allies and other Fortress teams in the historic Battle of Giddings to defend Moorish NT and Giddings mall from Big Bash 2. The defenders at the Battle of Giddings including team Anaconda put up an unprecedented defence against the hordes and Anaconda exceeded the goal of a team 5000XP gain.
Team Anaconda worked with MFD to assist with their struggle in Brooke Hills and Yagotown. Anaconda came from the North while the DEM advanced from the South, outflanking the horde in a decisive victory. The Commanders of Anaconda
This brilliant young woman spent an amazing 167 days as the exceptional Commander of Team Anaconda. During this time she led the team to a win of Best Team of 2008 and Best Commander of 2008. Elaine moved quickly through boot camp and made her mark upon the unsuspecting organization with humor and fun loving antics. Not only was she successful within her own battle group at raising the level of fun but also within the tavern. Bright, witty, beautiful and clever she has on more than one occasion left us laughing not only at our own cost but often at hers as well. Her borderline insubordinate pranks are a plague and a blessing at the same time to any who may have the privilege to be her supervisor. Vigilance Overlord Miss Elainious is also a forum administrator, station manager of “Boom” The Fortress radio station, was elected Councillor in October 2007 and again in November 2008, an exceptional real time operational coordinator, an ambassador and became Commander of Team Anaconda in May 2008. A Fortress Legend, her influence continues have its impact on us daily. Awards:
Best Team of 2008:
A dazzling career with The Fortress, as he blitzed Boot Camp then became an excellent Anaconda combat squad member before rising quickly to the top and becoming Commander of not one but two teams simultaneously earning the title of Fortress Legend. Crowbar is currently the Fortress Brigadier, forum administrator and Council Member. His operations made change in Malton and he made Team Anaconda a force to be reckoned with. Team Anaconda has produced 3 Councilors, at least 4 commanders and countless Moderators among many other legends under the command of Tommy Crowbar. Described by Jensonson as the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be.
Havoc Knight. Ex Lt and Commander of Team Anaconda following a long and illustrious career in the ranks. Famous for winning the most awkward moment FAFTA Award at the Fortress Party for a sneaky pic we have of him in a dress. Owner of 13/15 ABA's, Ambassador, Forum Moderator and Member of the Council. Escaped Malton in late 2007 but recently returned to Anaconda to "kick some zombie butt, Conda style!".
Ambitious and dedicated personality that attempted to build his own group before settling into a Fortress career and ultimately becoming Commander of Team Anaconda. Energetic two-time Council member, Fortress Finest, Ambassador of FANNY and Former Chief Editor and creator of The Fortress News. After retiring briefly Danny Lee is a respected member of the Combat Veterans and is busy chronicling the experiences of Fortress survivors in Malton.
Opinionated, intelligent and hysterical. Not many members can be defined in that way, but Shrimper is unique. Superb Elite member of Battlehawk before excelling as Commander of his team. Popular Councillor, Commander and friend. Became the first Fortress Two Commander in Jan 07. His offbeat comments and sharp wit as well as his insightful input has made him one of the most beloved of Fotress members. A modern Fortress Legend.
Founder and Head of The Fortress. With the help of his original Shadows, and then essentially a group of newly enlisted members, molded the faction into the shape it is in today. His sense of fair play and honour has made him a beloved Fortress character and a favourite citizen of Malton. Stay Vigilant!
As loyal and reliable as they come. Made Fortress Finest in Apr 06, then Veteran, then Legend. Commander of Team Anaconda for a spectacular 140 days. Returned to The Fortress as PK Executioner in Dec 06. Rejoined team Anaconda in May 07 but left later in the Summer.
Predicted to become a legend, Belmont took command of Anaconda and was famed for his reports and thoroughness, then one day he disappeared entirely. After having been long feared dead, he reappeared in April 2007 and rejoined his old team. After a second, very active spell in Anaconda, Belmont mysteriously disappeared again. Believed to be dead, but after last time - who knows?
One of the original Shadows, LePaige has achieved in the role of Commander, Warlord and Shadow Hunter. Saved lives during the evacuation of Fortress Four before leading its recapture in March 2006. Possibly the most infamous character in The Fortress, his legacy spreads beyond Malton.
Loyal brother of The Head. First Fortress Commander back when there was only one team, Team Fortress. First and best Fortress Warlord. And famously set up the first phone mast in RRF occupied Ridleybank without them flinching. Excelling as the Shackleville Power Technician in early 2007, and later became Second Drill Sergeant of Boot Camp in June. A legend in his own right.
