Tikhon Medical is an ad-hoc group of survivors in Ruddlebank, Dartside and Shuttlebank, operating out of Tikhon General Hospital (Ruddlebank) and Tikhon General Hospital (Dartside) and Fabian General Hospital (Shuttlebank). There is no leader and no set rules or guidelines, just a bunch of like-minded folks living in or near the hospitals and working to support them. You could think of M*A*S*H without Col. Potter. With zombie North Koreans. We are a no-pressure, non-organization that has been around since late 2006. We refer to ourselves as a "gaggle" rather than a "group" because well... "group" denotes organization and planning. Not our strong suits.

A hospital patient enjoys a relaxing bath of cheesy poofs.

Purpose

Defending our Cheesy Poof supply. Tikhon Medical is also involved in healing and revivification services, operating revive points at Greenleaves Alley in Ruddlebank, Lyng Street in Dartside and Look Road in Shuttlebank. Occasionally, a team will be dispatched to trouble spots in the vicinity to treat/cause medical problems. It's purely voluntary, so "dispatch" probably isn't the right word. But "dispatch" is such a cool word, I had to use it. "Dispatch". Yeah.

Besides healing, there is barricade maintenance and general tomfoolery. We actually talk and crack jokes at Tikhon, and moon passing zombies. People who duck in for safety often stay a while for the yucks. A few even join our ranks. Events also start up at random times, with no warning, like the BBQ at Cosens and even stand up jokes/comedy acts at the hospital.

About Tikhon General Hospital

Tikhon Medical currently holds an iron fisted rule over both Tikhon General Hospital (Ruddlebank), Tikhon General Hospital (Dartside) and Fabian General Hospital (Shuttlebank). Surrounding buildings are used frequently by Tikhon Medical, but we don't claim ownership over them.

Maintained

This Hospital is actively maintained by individuals and groups in the local area

First Aid

Hospital staff know First Aid and can heal up to 10HP with a First Aid Kit

Diagnosis

Hospital staff are able to diagnose and cure injured patients

Surgery

Hospital staff can perform surgery to restore 15HP per First Aid Kit

Entry Point

This building is barricaded to VSB+2. No free running? No problem.

Religion

The unofficial Tikhon religion is elbow-cranialism and can be found here

Tikhon West (aka, Tikhon Prime) Advantages: Most of what we need is within 1 move of the hospital - fuel, generators and medical supplies. NecroTech facilities are nearby, but not next door. Those places are creepy. Eight (8) moves straight NE is Tompson Mall for more intensive shopping. Disadvantages: It is a hospital, and therefore a target. Firearms and ammunition are not located very close, so bring an axe. Sly Place Police Department is reachable, but between travel time and search time, you may make it an overnight trip. Update: Tikhon Prime now has a Radio Transmitter installed in it!

Tikhon East Advantages: Everything we could ever want is within 3 blocks, except a Fire Station, but it's hardly any loss. There are 3 Police Departments that act as an abundant source of ammunition, 3 more Hospitals close by and there are 3 NecroTech buildings each only 3 blocks away. These buildings act as a large fortress against zombie attacks and a great base of operations. This also means that we can have a few TRPs at EHB instead of VS+2. Disadvantages: Because of all the TRPs squashed together in one area this makes it a hot spot for zombie attack. But then, that just means target practice, so even that has its upside.

Tikhon North Advantages: The hospital is well stocked with medical supplies and there are two police stations for firearms and a creepy NecroTech facility is next door. Most of what we need is within 2-3 moves of the hospital - fuel, generators. Eight (8) moves NW is Calvert Mall and Nine (9) moves NE is Bale Mall, for those late night cravings for Tacos and ammo. Disadvantages: It's the only hospital in the suburb, and is therefore a MAJOR target. A neighbouring zombie horde has taken a distinct dislike to us setting up shop on their doorstep and a full-blown turf war has erupted. Okay, a turf skirmish.

All members are kindly requested to sign up on our forums.

Current News

June 1 2009 - The MOB has ruined Prime and the whole southwest corner of Ruddlebank, and it looks like they are heading for Tompson Mall!! - Tai Kamiya 20:41, 1 June 2009 May 28 2009 - Shockingly, there are still some zombies in this game. The MOB is coming. Get your party hats on! Oh, and the DEM appears to be trying to take credit for the efficiency of the Greenleaves Alley revive point. Someone with spray paint should change the tinyURL to a Tikhon-friendly tag. Uncle Elbert 23:54, 28 May 2009 (BST) May 8 2009 - Things have been pretty boring after the Tour passed through, but here's an update: Tikhon's S.T.U.N.T. operation went well, when we intercepted the Tour at Pole Mall and performed a mass-mooning. We ended the operation by being eaten and shuffling back west for a revive. A number of Tikhoners have been hunting PKers in the southwest, just because there were a lot that showed up at once and we were bored. Turns out they weren't trying to steal our cheesy poofs after all. Oops. -- Uncle Elbert 16:27, 8 May 2009 (BST) March 17 2009 - Tikhoners arrived at East in force after the Tour passed through, making short work of revive point queues. TikEast is anchoring the area's reclamation effort. Rumors swirl of an upcoming S.T.U.N.T. operation (Shotgun-Toting Uber-Ninjas of Tikhon) Tikhoners are advised to wear dark clothing and creep around a lot in preparation. - Uncle Elbert 23:01, 17 March 2009 (UTC) March 13 2009 - Prime and North are Safe with No Breakins, but the Status of East remains unknown due to the Mall Tour '09. --TaiKamiya2 22:31, 13 March 2009 (UTC) February 9th 2009 - West and East remain safe, though North is unknown to me at least. Forays into New Arkham have been a success. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 01:14, 9 February 2009 (UTC) January 6th 2009 - No zombies outside of Prime or any adjacent blocks, and only a few bodies on the doorstep. Seems pretty safe. How are East and North doing?--ChocoholicBec 10:35, 6 January 2009 (UST) January 1st 2009 - A few zombies and bodies outside of Prime, nothing much. Staff and patients celebrate the new year with Cheesy Poofs and other.--  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 10:55, 1 January 2009 (UTC) December 18th 2008 - Tikhon is evacuated on the 5-month anniversary of the siege officially beginning. The number of zombies exceeded 60, and the threat of an all-out PK war rather than the normal riff-raff meant we would be sitting ducks. We've evacuated to re-arm and go PK hunting, though Greenleaves will still be maintained. - Uncle Elbert 23:39, 19 December 2008 (UTC) December 10th 2008 - The number of zombies assaulting Prime has doubled, and they've let off some groans. With the RRF nearby, security level downgraded to "Dammit!". Poofs remain crispy and oh-so-cheesy. - Uncle Elbert 20:42, 10 December 2008 (UTC) December 6th 2008 - There's a bunch of zombies outside Prime, nothing new really. Lalala... Cheesy Poof supplies remain intact. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 00:04, 6 December 2008 (UTC) September 30th 2008 - Following the retirement of the Eastonwood Ferals, a few die-hard Tikhoners who refused to evacuate Tikhon North reclaimed the facility in Shuttlebank. It appears Tikhon North is back in action! - Uncle Elbert 20:02, 30 September 2008 (BST) September 3rd 2008 - Significant wiki fixes made. References to Tikhon North removed, old news archived. Blame me if there's something wrong - I kinda blew the page out for a few minutes, but I think it's fixed. - Uncle Elbert 22:46, 3 September 2008 (BST) August 21st 2008 - It looks as though Prime is back in operation, anchoring the rebuild effort in our immediate area. The dozen or so zombies camped on the doorstep must be in shock - Tikhoners re-gaggling has made the hospital a much more difficult target than it was with a skeleton crew. - Uncle Elbert 16:28, 21 August 2008 (BST) August 15th 2008 - Tikhon begins the process of re-gaggling at Prime, abandoning its efforts in Shuttlebank and dramatically scaling back operatons at Tikhon East, which seems to have developed a quality indigenous population in Dartside. - Uncle Elbert 21:56, 15 August 2008 (BST) See the Archive for old Tikhon news.

Tikhon West Status: A smoking pile of rubble and corpses Tikhon East Status: Flower Safe Tikhon North Status: Flower Safe Flower Safe For when the suburb is rated green and there are no bodies and zombies in or out of the hospital. Safe When there are no significant breakins and no more than a few zombies and/or bodies in or out of the hospital. Safe... for now Only used if zombie activity isn't high but there is imminent threat nearby. (e.g. active assault on an adjacent building). Meh Used when we don't give crap about zombie activity, or when there is a small group of ferals outside. Send more ammo and nails! For when the hospital is under attack. (15 - 30 standing zeds). Typically used when zombie numbers are escalating and we need more defenders. Dammit! When the hospital is undergoing a small siege, (30 - 50 standing zeds) or when we're out of cheezy poofs. OMG!! Used when hospital staff deem everyone "slightly in trouble" meaning frequent breakins with small groups in between barricade patch ups. (50 - 70 standing zeds) Totally screwed For when there is a huge number of zombies outside and a few inside. (70 - 100, 10+ in). Barbaga zaarz! When a horrible death is likely, and/or with 100 zeds outside and more than 20 inside. A smoking pile of rubble and corpses Is the hospital ruined and devoid of life? Then this would be the proper rating. Mrh? Used in the unlikely event that the majority of our staff are dead. (Roughly 90%). Rebuilding If we recently retook a hospital and are gaining numbers. Unknown In case we have no idea what the hospital status is. This usually results from a plan that requires us to leave our home for long periods of time.

Policies

GKing - Generator Killers are lame. Unless you're Amish, you have no business destroying equipment, and neither do we. Unless, of course, we're trying to turn off the "FRESH EATS HERE" sign when loads of zombies are around.

RKing - Radio Killers aren't lame if it stops spam. Not all radio chatter is spam, though, so really - you have to admit it's at least kind of lame. We don't do it, unless the radio is really asking for it.

PKing - Killing PKers is technically PKing itself, so it's a grey area. Generally we don't do it, but annoy us enough and all bets are off. Basically, we don't kill anyone who wouldn't have killed us first, given the opportunity.

Zerging - One player coordinating multiple characters is UBER-lame.

Membership Only one character is allowed in Tikhon Medical.

It should be noted that as Tikhon Medical has no leaders, there are no enforcers of these rules. Punishment is by the hospital staff, usually involving a closet, peanut butter, and our resident test subject, Target Zombie.
