The Black Watch

The Black Watch or Royal Highland Regiment (RHR) is a military group seeking bring peace to the city of Malton either by eliminate all zombies or finding an alternative, however we shall not sleep so long as survivors live in fear for their lives. (Just to point out, although we are The Black Watch, our abbreviation is RHR)

The Black Watch has been formed in sight of repeated Zombie infestation and the resulting survivor deaths in once peaceful neighborhood. Our base of operations are to be announced.

We are not at open war with PKing groups however if any of our members are PKed we will take our revenge, as a one per one system. If continually attacked by members of a certain group or if they declare war on us then we will declare war back on that one group, as our motto goes Nemo Me Impune Lacessit which is Latin for "No man touches me with impunity". We will not go after GKers but will take action against Zergers.

We are always in need of recruits, and are open to everyone so long as they are survivors. Don't worry we're not super strict or formal, and we always welcome a laugh but we do try to get the job done.

Divisions

Note: If you lack the skills to enlist in any of these divisions you will be put on Trainee status until you are able to join the division of your choice.

Infantry

The Red Line

The Infantry are the main fighting force of the Black Watch it is their job to carry out the main fighting of the group. They must carry lots of guns as well as a crowbar or fire axe. An infantry should have skills of at least Free Running, Advanced Pistol Training (or Training in both Shotguns and Pistols). The Infantry division is actually split in two, one being the Fighting Infantry (Described above) the other being the Engineers, Engineers simply need a few less guns and instead a tool box and/or generators and fuel. Engineers don't necessarily get less action as it's their job to clear and prepare buildings.

Medics

The back bone of the RHR, Medics are the ones who heal, and revive fallen and wounded soldiers. All Medics should carry an abundance of First Aid Kits as well as Revivification Syringes to be used on RHR personnel, however if members are in no immediate danger and a hospital, NT or Mall is near by Medics are encourage to heal and revive other non members to ensure the peace. A Medic only needs the skill Lab Experience.

Moss Troopers

Moss Troopers (Also known as Woad Raiders) are the scouts of The Black Watch, their job to go ahead and scout out; Zombie numbers, Barricade levels and relative safeness of a suburb. Only a few Moss Troopers are needed, a Moss Trooper Should have Free Running and at least pistol training. A Scout should always have either a Fire Axe or Crowbar to lower cades if needed, as well some weapons and possibly a generator with fuel.

Special Forces

The Special Forces are the Elite Division of The Black Watch, as a member of the special forces one's jobs are, but not limited to; aiding Trainees get skill points, Hunting PKers, recruiting and leading tactical assaults. To be in the special forces you need all Human Skills and to have been a member of the RHR for at least three months. Special forces carry different weapons depending on their mission.

It is recommended that in descriptions of members you write something about a sgian dubh (A Scottish traditional knife that was commonly worn in your sock or under your arm). It's our thing.

Our Tartan

Ranks

Everyone starts at Trainee until assigned to a Division, if you have the skills for the one you want then will be placed in it almost immediately (Not in the case of Special Forces) Each Division has it's own list of ranks that ascend parallel to each other.

Next we will be changing our recruiting methods and third we will create a more define opinion on things such as PKing.

Diplomacy

Enemies

On June 28 2008, at 12:28 AM The Streltsy declared war on us for no true reason other than that we are pro survivor and weaker than them. If a member of the Streltsy is seen he is to be killed on sight.

The next day their leader The Almighty Todd offered to make truce if the RHR ended all recruitment campaigns, Robert de Bruce turned down the offer as this would cripple the Black Watch and the Streltsy had not even fired a blow.

On July 25 a member of The Black Watch in confusion of our policies attacked and killed a member of The Browncoats which resulted in a war starting on July 2.

Allies

In early July of 2008 a temporary Alliance was formed between The Black Watch and Paradox to work on missions in Tollyton.

On July 22 2008 The Black Watch formed an alliance with the Army Control Corps.

on July 23 2008 The RHR formed an alliance with The 22nd Regiment.

On August 11 an official alliance was made between The Black Watch and The Kilt Store (They gave us new Kilts!).

In mid August the RHR and Paradox began to work together and now have a formal alliance.

Battle Poem

Because of course nothings manlier than a poem.

   'Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled,
    Scots, wham Bruce has aften led,
    Welcome tae your gory bed,
    Or tae Victorie!

    'Now's the day, and now's the hour:
    See the front o' battle lour,
    See approach proud Edward's power -
    Chains and Slaverie!

    'Wha will be a traitor knave?
    Wha will fill a coward's grave?
    Wha sae base as be a slave?
    Let him turn and flee!

    'Wha, for Scotland's king and law,
    Freedom's sword will strongly draw,
    Freeman stand, or Freeman fa',
    Let him on wi' me!

    'By Oppression's woes and pains!
    By your sons in servile chains!
    We will drain our dearest veins,
    But they shall be free!

    'Lay the proud usurpers low!
    Tyrants fall in every foe!
    Liberty's in every blow! -
    Let us do or dee!' '

That was a poem written by the Scottish Poet Robert Bruns, it was written in the language Scots below I've written a translation.

   'Scots, who have with Wallace bled,
    Scots, whom Bruce has often led,
    Welcome to your gory bed
    Or to victory!

    'Now is the day, and now is the hour:
    See the front of battle lower (threaten),
    See approach proud Edward's power -
    Chains and slavery!

    'Who will be a traitor knave?
    Who will fill a coward's grave?
    Who's so base as be a slave? -
    Let him turn, and flee!

    'Who for Scotland's King and Law
    Freedom's sword will strongly draw,
    Freeman stand or freeman fall,
    Let him follow me!

    'By oppression's woes and pains,
    By your sons in servile chains,
    We will drain our dearest veins
    But they shall be free!

    'Lay the proud usurpers low!
    Tyrants fall in every foe!
    Liberty is in every blow!
    Let us do or die!'
