Siege

This is turning into quite an interesting battle. Heh. --Mesousa 19:53, 26 May 2010 (BST)

Zombies are trying to breach the station while keeping the NT ruined. Survivors should be focusing on reviving but instead they are just trying to hold the station, which is a lost cause without needles.--O'i'O 21:07, 26 May 2010 (BST)

EHB

Be careful, this extra suvivor concentration has made all the building go EHB in no time, without respecting the barricade Plan. It is really hard to get in the suburb, in fact, I had to fly away to a neighbour, and then jump my way to the places. Can you please made a radio announcements about that problem ? Thx GoLookAndKill ^CFT 14:15, 12 May 2010 (BST)

Yeah, it seems like the railway station and rotter revive points are constantly overcaded. And with how many are coming into the suburb, I don't know if they're being lowered as part of an attack or just . . . plain . . . lowered. It's madness, I tells ya! Douglas Summers 00:33, 17 May 2010 (BST)

It was just about time somebody organized an escape plan out of the God-damned foughten field Malton has turned into. I'm in. Mesousa 18:44, 5 May 2010 (BST)

Hell yes. Can't come personally - Got something to do. Will send an alt, though. Oidar 19:04, 5 May 2010 (BST)

Changes

I've updated a better version of the nearby area map on the Escape article page. Mesousa 19:12, 5 May 2010 (BST)

Zerging

So are we going to make an exception for this event? and allow alts to escape with main characters? I wont bring mine together unless people think we should make the exception. Still don't know which character I want to go --Stuape27 16:39, 16 May 2010 (BST)

No. No exception. One character, and one character only. --Visible One 03:02, 18 May 2010 (BST)

This seems like an obvious one. I don't want our numbers to be falsely inflated. Kevan can read the server logs. He'll know if we're telling the truth or not anyway. -Captain Video 04:31, 20 May 2010 (BST)

Damn! I guess I wont be able to escape with you all, my brother also supports escape and is already there at Ellicott. We share a computer and therefore an IP Address. I will keep my affiliation as escape, but will not be there on the day, or the after-party suicide. --Lucifer210 12:19, 23 May 2010 (BST)

I made us a template about two hours ago, but God I love this. Not only do I love The Prisoner, the analogy is so perfect I'm amazed I didn't think of it before. It's getting complete endorsement on the web page. -Captain Video 04:37, 4 May 2010 (BST)

The Prisoner IS AWESOME! Should'nt there be a theme song for a movement like this? How about this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMFYs3gfgis ?--Belisarius17 14:17, 5 May 2010 (BST)

• Excellent. I'll put this to good use. -Captain Video 01:15, 5 May 2010 (BST)

Offer of Help

I have an alt who'll be participating,... as I mentioned above. He's stocking up on syringes right now... I'm thinking about running a rev point for those who'll be showing up who need revs.... What do you think? Can anyone possably help with this? -Poodle of Doom^{M! T} 02:43, 7 May 2010 (BST)

• I'm sending an alt over to the RR station to help with things (so far I've just been organizing). He'll be there in a couple of days. In the mean time, I suggest picking one of the empty squares to designate as the RP. If Escape really catches the interest of the undead and the queue clogs up with rotters, we'll designate a few more spots so that the system won't grind to a halt. My alt has revival skills, so I'll be able to help. For now, just keep yourself alive and do what you can. Oswleybank is a yellow suburb, but it's between a green zone and a ghost town, so things shouldn't be too bad. -Captain Video 03:28, 7 May 2010 (BST)

Surely just use the next door NT, because rotters may still want to join in with the escape and since its a rotter revive point, it also makes it safe to revive for us survivors. Im just reviving any zeds that turn up in there. --Stuape27 16:58, 16 May 2010 (BST)

I and some members of my group will spraypaint some information about this event and links to the ESCAPE page of wiki. We already got nearly 40 buildings tagged in Barville, Ridleybank, Stanbury Village and Galbraith Hills. There were 2 days of work - but this is only the beginning. We expect 30-35 tags/day and spread into most of the center suburbs. -Mullo de Tanuka 17 May 2010 (BST)

• It would be awful nice if other survivor groups would lend some covering fire as the big day approaches. MOB & RRF might have to watch their behinds in that case. --Holtzfeller 03:15, 26 May 2010 (BST)

"Cover fire?" Lulz. --Papa Johnny 21:24, 26 May 2010 (BST)

Station Radio

Does the station (or one of the nearby buildings) have a radio installed? Once we get nearer to the event it might be useful for the organisers to be able to broadcast from a location that's closer to the action. --Remnant Matt 09:56, 9 May 2010 (BST)

The station used to have a transceiver, but we took it down because the radio transmissions flooded the place and made people unable to talk. As far as I know, the nearby building have no transceivers either; feel free to bring one and install it in a nearby building, if you want to. --Mesousa 23:48, 9 May 2010 (BST)

I put a transceiver in the Station, it should be used to communicate with the senior staff at the CORAM, is their a frequency we could tune it to? -Jeebus Josh --Fatfisher13 1250, 10 May 2010 (PST)

I say we broadcast on 27.42 if we want a closed frequency and 28.41 if we want an open frequency. --Remnant Matt 07:12, 11 May 2010 (BST)

Numbers

Congrats on having the most members of any group in the game - at present it's 141, a full half dozen more than RRF's seeming stranglehold. 00:17, 10 May 2010 (BST)

This is some kind of bloody record, ain't it? Oidar 15:23, 10 May 2010 (BST)

Top number group! You do realise Kevan will just send you here? --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 19:13, 10 May 2010 (BST)

That would be awesome! I've always wanted to go to Monroeville --Superathen 20:19, 10 May 2010 (BST)

I think I'd like it better if we vanished from the game and our profile pages said we've escaped. It'd be like a "good ending" I'd be more than happy with. In fact, that ending would please me so much that I've sent my main account to Ellicott (this one), not a mere alt. --Mesousa 04:48, 11 May 2010 (BST)

What if we get to Monroeville and we're still holding syringes?--Superathen 11:07, 11 May 2010 (BST)

I'd be careful you dont waste them on rotters. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 12:06, 11 May 2010 (BST)

Nice idea, 'athen. Anyways, given the fact that zombies in there have already made up their minds to the fact that they won't be alive again, I'm pretty sure they've all bought Brain Rot by now. We can't even set up a rot revive point due to the lack of NT buildings. I'd just stock up on ammo and prepare to headshot as many zeds as I can. You know, there are only 58 zeds or so in there right now... we could defeat them through sheer numbers and even free Monroeville from the undead menace. We'd be fucking heroes. --Mesousa 17:36, 11 May 2010 (BST)

The Double M might have something to say about that. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 19:45, 11 May 2010 (BST)

I'd love to end up in Monroeville! I remember my only character there was PK'd about two days in. T'was kind of sad, because i never really experienced what being a survivor in Monroeville was like. I think monroeville, with its zero revive, elimination policy is pretty neat,but its a ghost-town now; two survivors, a few feral zeds? I think the survivor injection would be exciting- and we should keep our MkIIs: they would become a precious, finite commodity... It would be rather interesting. --Burma Damascus 06:36, 13 May 2010 (BST)

There's another Romero's movie coming out in 2010. Odds are K might make a new city for it... --~~~~ [talk] 18:24, 11 May 2010 (BST)

Monroeville sucks! Wish the zeds would finish off those final few humans. How do they never finish the job? --  ▧  ^{: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :} 20:09, 11 May 2010 (BST)

Well.. It's a bit too big for 50-60ish zombies with poor organization located and kill two guys. Oidar 20:20, 11 May 2010 (BST)

Its not worth it. Now say it was a target rich environment than a lot of us zombies might reanimate. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 21:31, 11 May 2010 (BST)

Time of Escape

We all know that the date of the escape is June 1st, but at what time of day will the event take place? If possible, I'd appreciate it being at a time when we Europeans can take part. --Remnant Matt 20:23, 11 May 2010 (BST)

• Don't know. We could always go with Midnight UTC, but I'm not sure how well that would work. Everybody filing in AT ONCE isn't really necessary; I think we should just be there BY June 1. -Captain Video 20:39, 11 May 2010 (BST)

I doubt I could make midnight. If all we need to do is just show up then I agree a time is not needed, but if Kevan takes notice and adds some form of action we could either just all go when we're ready or set up two or three different charges for people in various timezones. --Remnant Matt 21:08, 11 May 2010 (BST)

• Er, could we move the date to a weekend? People still in school might not be able to Escape if they're stuck at school. A weekend ensures that every possible member can attend. --Sam 2334 20:14, 15 May 2010 (BST)

I'm not gonna make midnight, especially during the weekdays, hence my suggestion. I carry a few syringes with me at all times, so if we're sent to Monroeville or some other place I could be an asset. :P --Sam 2334 22:14, 15 May 2010 (BST)

If it's not possible to move just recommend everyone to be there by the day before.--BrainBoy20 03:48, 17 May 2010 (BST)

S'okay. Bring the undeads in, we Escapees are more than enough to slay you all and feast on your rotten flesh. --Mesousa 19:31, 15 May 2010 (BST)

Well when Kevan deletes all of your accounts I guess it won't be impenetrable. You do realize that's what you are requesting don't you? The only 'escape' is to have your account deleted, so if he gives you what you are asking for, all your accounts will be permanently removed. Good luck with that! :) --Red Brinded Cat 14:58, 15 May 2010 (BST)

Shit, hope that doesn't happen. Hmm, that wouldn't happen, would it? Or perhaps something good may happen, or probably nothing at all. Hmm, perhaps I should've sent a lesser alt. I just wish some zeds would show up. Hurry up, the meat is getting cold. --  ▧  ^{: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :} 15:57, 15 May 2010 (BST)

Meh, I'm okay with that sort of ending if that happens. Even better if my account profile link gets a "This survivor has escaped from Malton" badge or something. It'd be like finally "beating" this game. After all, I can still play with alts. --Mesousa 19:31, 15 May 2010 (BST)

So if you get what you're asking for you will all have your accounts deleted, if not you'll all sit around in a building watching the paint dry. Sounds well thought out and lots of fun. 0.o --Red Brinded Cat 16:10, 15 May 2010 (BST)

Or if all the zeds turn up and nothing happens, we will have a massive show down, the end of urban dead, a large proportion of zeds and survivors, all to fight it out, should be epic --Stuape27 16:53, 16 May 2010 (BST)

Just trying to help Lady C. stir things up a bit, so I thought a template that quotes Shakespeare and Bugs Bunny was appropriate. Also the fact that ferals as far away as Dulston are heading this way reminds me of every escape/rescue scene in movies so of course it will be War...and some will be left behind at the dock (Dawn of the Dead), not picked up at the LZ (Platoon) or dragged down holding back the the Horde (This IS SPARTA...Er, I mean: THIS IS ELLICOTT PLACE RR...AND YOU...SHALL...NOT...PASS!!!) Pretty epic stuff regardless of the outcome, so hat's off to Escape and No Escape!--Belisarius17 15:00, 17 May 2010 (BST)

	Havoc!!!
	Eh...you know, of course, this means WAR!

Might I suggest respectfully that the Zeds make their Day of Reckoning June 2nd or June 3rd? I'd like to see what, if ANYTHING, Kevan has in store. My guess... it's going to be nothing. Which, while a huge let-down, would be a genre-appropriate response to facilitate the extreme futility of our situation and exacerbate the despair. --BLusk 17:57, 17 May 2010 (BST)

Where would be the fun in waiting with killing everyone until the event is over? Especially if there are a lot of zergers hanging out and popping up who must be dealt with? -- Spiderzed▋ 20:47, 17 May 2010 (BST)

Radio

I think we should assign the event to the radio, and have everyone tune into that frequency. When people want to talk, they should broadcast what they want to communicate. The reason for that is because we'd only be able to talk to the closest 50 people.... at least this way,... we could talk to everyone! -Poodle of Doom^{M! T} 23:47, 14 May 2010 (BST)

The Second of June

I propose on the second, if we are all still around we all commit mass suicide in the Woodborne NT building 1 North of the Railway Station. A rather suiting end in my opinion, as long as no relatives of Heaven's Gate/People's Temple people are playing ;P Chuckiferd 04:17, 17 May 2010 (BST)

I second this motion. A "leming"esque plunge followed by not playing will have postive results as :

i)Idiocy levels reaching an all time low.

ii)zerg levels will also be reduced (ahem half elfs\numungus\echos etc etc)

--Rapture 05:00, 17 May 2010 (BST)

I third that motion... -Poodle of Doom^{M! T} 23:22, 17 May 2010 (BST)

Better yet, we all commit suicide after spending 48 APs screaming at Kevan in all caps. --Penguinpyro 05:01, 17 May 2010 (BST)

I oppose this idea vehemently. Just because an escape attempt fails is no reason to act childish about it. --BLusk 03:19, 20 May 2010 (BST)

It's not really my thing either, but this is a populist movement and people will do what they want. I've edited the bit about June 2 to indicate that the Suicide Solution is not a mandatory part of being an Escapee. Everything here is voluntary. -Captain Video 04:29, 20 May 2010 (BST)

Why wait?

Consider doing this before the second of June. Move to a cemetery by the border (I hear that Dakerstown is lovely this time of year). Then ask a PKer group to kill all of you (you can even pretend to be buried alive! What fun!), and pretend to be dead by idling out and never logging in again.

"the most important in-game historical event to date"

I assume you're joking?--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 20:05, 17 May 2010 (BST)

There is a little humour under that heading, but if something happens then this really is the most signifigant that has ever occured in the game. Chuckiferd 20:28, 17 May 2010 (BST)

If you were to be transported, killed, then yes it might be. But if not then no. Historical events will be looked at from the future dear boy. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 20:24, 17 May 2010 (BST)

I was refering to the Plan B suicide, I sure can't think of even 1 single collective suicide so far. The massive amount of bodies on the floor would be impresive. Chuckiferd 20:28, 17 May 2010 (BST) "It's raining men"

Collective suicide now makes this the most important event ever? More important than the First seige of Caiger Mall? More important than the Battle of Blackmore? More important than the Battle of Pitneybank, which was effectively the last seige?--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 20:48, 17 May 2010 (BST)

How about unprecedented? Still, the Escape group is the largest in history no? It has grown far faster than any other group, I, a nonparticipant in these seiges still feel it is my right to the opinion that the mall itself wasn't of any signifigance. This easily can be seen as the biggest, most signifigant movement so far, at the very least we are making history. June 1 and 2 can be seen as "THE END", whereas these seiges you mention were mere in-game battles of no ultimate signifigance, other than the implementation of some new features. Jeezus, this whole argument is over a couple words? —The preceding Template:Wikipedia comment was added by Chuckiferd (talk • contribs) at an unknown time.

If you think 300 people is the biggest, you're forgetting the 2000 member super-group that appeared in about a week or so, and destroyed the whole map.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 21:38, 17 May 2010 (BST)

And also forgetting the RRF used to number about 400-600 at one time, when it was still the biggest group in the game. And it's managed to remain so ever since.-- Adward  17:34, 18 May 2010 (BST)

I appologize, I guess since this is the only event I have been involved in I have overestimated its importance. However, this still is signifigant and you can't take that away. This group is assembled for a new cause, not to simply seige another pointless mall or trash some buildings. Not to mention that the "history" page doesn't list anything past 2008 (though it is a work in progress, and I do remember some kind of 'Mall Tour' even during my visit in Malton —The preceding Template:Wikipedia comment was added by Chuckiferd (talk • contribs) at an unknown time.

I think something along the lines of this might happen. "The collective minds of the survivors come together and propose a mega project. Building a train to barge out of the city. The supplies need for such and undertaking could be salvaged from the train tracks all over Malton" You can fill in the rest from there.It's just an idea. --BrainBoy20 02:06, 18 May 2010 (BST)

For clarification to both sides arguing about this historical relevance, there are interesting points by both sides. No, this won't be the most historical event even if Kevan intervenes and kills you all, even if he makes changes. It's been done before On Strike and that was much more important and game-changing than this. Not only that, but it was more rational of a demand, rather than people who "just are bored with the game".

However, I also agree that this is a very interesting and brilliant event, it's been a long time since I've seen 300 survivors together (even more so for not just randoms), at leased since the march of the dead. So, having said that, I think this is pretty monumental considering the era of the game's life that we are seeing this in. If this happened 3 years ago on this scale, no one would have cared. But keep in mind this is when the game has been declining and numbers in one square are small nowadays. I for one am impressed. Good work, guys. --

According to a quick calculation based on old UD population stats we might not be too far from signigifcant! On Strike apparently had 1300 odd at its peak. You may think this outnumbers anything we could achieve, however, the playerbase was roughly 50000 players at the time. that means only ~2.7% of players participated. With 400 out of 19000 we are already at 2.1% participation with a week to boost those numbers!

All is not in vain (hopefully) ----Doran 08:19, 24 May 2010 (BST)

It's disingenuous to cite number of players, when all we know is number of characters. I'd be surprised to find that the number of players was even 30% of the current active characters. As for it's importance, nothing that happens here will change the game. Kevan implied upcoming changes before this event started, and nothing here breaks new ground. @DDR, weren't there over 750 survivors in Nicholl's Mall during the Battle of Bahahopolis? It may be nitpicking, but it does postdate the March of the Dead. --Bisfan 12:11, 25 May 2010 (BST)

"survior-killing as a zombie"? That IS what zombies are supposed to do you know? You are doing yourself a huge disservice if you avoid reviving those many people who play dual-natured. After all, eliminating an active zombie threat and creating a fighter for the cause for only 18 - 20 AP is the single most powerful pro-survivor thing you can do in the game. DNR lists should be reserved for those who perform antisocial acts while human. --Quincy Kildare 19:08, 25 May 2010 (BST)

One more for the DNR list - http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=556880 --ArexStadrin 16:23, 26 May 2010 (BST)

Finally, a little recognition! It took a public pking and smashing the generator, not to mention pretending to be a suicide bomber and spraypainting "Long live Red Rum!" all over the walls of the NT, to finally get people to recognize me! That was my fourteenth murder (including the guy that I murdered twice because he had the balls to track me down and put a bullet through my head), and my first act of property destruction, and I've been finally noticed! Of course, I would have been noticed later if I hadn't decided to attack the ESCAPE, as most of my victims were sleeping alone. Anyways, I don't see why we're on a Do Not Revive list if the NT building was ruined by the zombies (I'm glad to think that I took part in my own way). Good luck holding onto that railway station without needles, or for that matter without reloads or other vital supplies--you'll sure as hell need it. Hey, I might pay you guys another visit if there's still any of you alive in a few days. Of about 400 ESCAPists, there's, what, only 200 still alive? The largest group in the game getting its butt kicked by the RRF and other zombie groups. Let's say that each zombie horde has about, say, 100 members. Either there's one heck of a lot of zombies (feral, and some of the more powerful groups in the game), or the defenders are a little incompetent. You guys really should have guarded the rot revive a little better--most of the people in there were wounded when I dropped by. Hey, just look at it this way--none of them are wounded any more. Hm, less than a week to go. Can a couple hundred survivors make it through a zombie siege long enough to escape from a quarantined city? Will any of them be alive to commit mass suicide if Kevan ignores them? To be continued...--Sam 2334 22:46, 26 May 2010 (BST)

My apologize to Dual-Natured. I have not considered your alignment. Dis list was posted in a state of great HAET to all GK'ers. So, many zombies also have been marked as "DNR" in the heat of the moment. So I surely confront RRF guys with their "zedrevive - run in - GK - PK - run out" tactics. Isn't it a zombie group? Whatever, it is your style of playing and I'm not going tell you what you are supposed to do. So, once again sorry for disturbing. Best regards. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mullo_de_Tanuka (talk • contribs) at an unknown time.

The RRF is a zombie group and we also have a death-cultist team, the Gore Corps. Once again your ignorance of subjects you post about is evident. Perhaps Kevan letting some of you Escape would be a good thing. -- Papa Jadkor ^{(RRF) (MotA) (MT11)} 21:37, 27 May 2010 (BST)

IMPORTANT, COMMUNICATION

So, all escape members be sure to come in/idle in http://tinychat.com/ellicott, as well as visiting our forums (Currently in construction) http://escape.g33k.org.uk/ Thanks! -ArexStadrin

Forums are gay. tinychat was a good idea. I liked joining in. --

 

 

 

 

13:40, 26 May 2010 (BST)

The problem with tinychat is that there's no way for offline players to catch up on stuff they missed, short of hoping for it to be broadcast over the radio. Besides, setting up a forum doesn't mean we are abandoning the tinychat - the two could be quite effective when used together, with a place to talk real-time and a place to record important information. --Remnant Matt 16:01, 26 May 2010 (BST)

Indeed, I feel it could be very well done, if the two are used in combination: Forums for long term things and planning/archiving, and the chat for short term and immediate response things. Either way though, the important thing is to get people to get in there, and STAY in there. --ArexStadrin 16:18, 26 May 2010 (BST)

Well, I was idling in the tinychat when I apparently got banned. I didn't realize that not saying something for a while was a banworthy offense? --BLusk 00:11, 27 May 2010 (BST)

They may have mistaken you for a zombie spy. I'm hesitant to go there myself when I'm human, since Escape has been pretty anti-dual natured. Kind of a moot point though, since the rot clinic went down. --Shatari 03:17, 27 May 2010 (BST)

We are mostly a classy outfit, neither the RRF or MOB practice or condone "Zombie Spying". If our members do join the tinychat it will be of their own accord for a little friendly chat or playful boasting. They should identify or make it clear they are there as a zombie player and leave if requested, any information they may be privy to during their stay will not even be considered by either horde.

Zergers?

During my walk at the Elicott Station I figured out something intresting.

This is what I've seen there:

http://rghost.ru/users/support-there/releases/ud-zergers-elicott

These are links to profiles:

http://urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1740507 (hello No-Escape)

http://urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1743031 (hello RRF)

http://urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1744424

http://urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1744661 (!)

http://urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1744667 (!)

http://urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1744680 (!)

http://urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1744732 (I forgot to make a screen for this guy)

We can see, that almost all of these profiles were created recently, at a peak of siege, during ESCAPE mission. As I DNA'ed them, they were in stack, it means they act one-by-one, from one computer. Futhermore, one of zergs belong to RRF (look at profile, proof-picture is in the picture release). With 1 level and zombie-speech in description. An one of alts, specially created before ESCAPE. He came to Elicott to help main character... or two/three? Look at No-Escape character. It is supposed, that all main No-Escapers should be at Elicott now. And this is an alt, surely. But shouldn't alts stay in seperate suburbs?

Now I'm asking you: do you still think it is a fair play? Do you still agree with a fact that Elicott haven't been zerged? I DNA'ed an about of 12-15 zombies. And half of them are zergs. Just imagine how many zergers are there. Congratulations.

Maybe I'll be back next day with more proofs. Enjoy. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mullo de Tanuka (talk • contribs) at an unknown time.

I see no actual evidence of zerging to be honest. - User:Whitehouse 16:09, 27 May 2010 (BST)

"they were in stack, it means they act one-by-one, from one computer." No, the stack is just a list of Least Recently Active. They can be from any computer. -- Grogh 16:28, 27 May 2010 (BST)

Correct. Also the fact that they are new means nothing. It's a huge siege, there have probably been a lot of feeding groans, if so then new zombies will spawn nearby. And I am not sure what the accusation against the RRF and No Escape zombies are. - User:Whitehouse 16:31, 27 May 2010 (BST)

I don't see any strong evidence either. Frankly, it just looks like some baby zombies created yesterday spawned there. And baby zombies spawning in Owsleybank at the moment shouldn't surprise anyone considering that two of the largest hordes in game along with several other smaller hordes are currently eating there. But really this isn't the place to discuss it. You can take your case to the zerg list if you'd like an informed, unbiased opinion, Mullo de Tanuka. --Amber Waves of Pain 16:40, 27 May 2010 (BST)

As an involved member of the RRF I can state as a matter of fact that the person listed as an RRF member is wearing tags but in no way an official member of the group. In case you did not know, Mullo de Tanuka, a group can't control who wears its tags. You shouldn't make such idiotic claims without some kind of proof. -- Papa Jadkor ^{(RRF) (MotA) (MT11)} 21:26, 27 May 2010 (BST)

Remember kids. How zombies Spawn ? No surprise so many zeds are popping up nearby. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 18:32, 27 May 2010 (BST)

Could I point out also that there appears to be zerging in the Escape camp. I believe somebody in the MOB, or maybe JohnnyBass witnessed this. They might be able to clarify if required. Let it be said here and now that the Militant Order of Barhah and I'm sure the Ridleybank Resistance Front as well, do not participate in zerging. --TouchingVirus 18:39, 27 May 2010 (BST)
