| The '''Craske Triangle''' is an enclave centered around the [[The Craske Museum]] in western [[Heytown]]. The name derives from the close cooperation between [[Cornelius General Hospital (Spracklingbank)|Cornelius General Hospital]], the [[the Usher Building]], and [[Goldney Place Police Department]], and is used to describe both the neighborhood around the museum and its permanent residents.
| |
| | |
| The Triangle is currently protected by the [[Mad Craskers]], the [[Holy Order of the Pint]], and many devoted, unaffiliated survivors. Both [[Dowdney Mall]] and [[Giddings Mall]] are nearby and frequented by Triangle residents. The Craskers maintain the 26.07 MHz [[radio]] frequency on the transmitters in the Triangle, but also listen closely to 26.06 ([[Dowdney Mall]]/[[Dribbling Beavers]] channel) and 26.70 ([[Giddings Mall]]) to coordinate defenses.

| The [[Heytown]] suburb page and the [[Mad Craskers]] page both keep pretty up-to-date information on this region of Malton. [http://madcraskers.proboards.com/index.cgi? The Mad Craskers Forum] is active at all hours of the day and night (no matter your timezone).

| ==History==
| |
| The neighborhood, for as long as anyone has treated it as one, has been under almost constant attack by offshoots of forces laying siege to Giddings Mall and [[Fort Creedy]]; in fact it was after [[The Shining Ones]]' April, 2006 destruction of Fort Creedy that the Triangle's residents first began organizing to deal with the unique problems posed by the neighborhood's layout and strategic importance.
| |
| | |
| Throughout April and May (2006), the Triangle thwarted repeated attacks, until late May when for the first time both the Usher Building and Cornelius General fell at the same time. With only the PD, Nuttycombe, and the safehouses to repel the attack and repair the damage, the neighborhood was effectively overrun for nearly a week before survivors began again to assert control and enjoy a significant degree of safety.
| |
| | |
| ==Neighborhood==
| |
| No longer strictly a triangle, the enclave has grown encompass several nearby landmarks.
| |
| * [[The Godson Arms]] (79, 36) is a great gathering place for the Triangle's denizens and local watering hole. It is maintained by the [[Holy_Order_of_the_Pint|HOP]].
| |
| * [[Nuttycombe Auto Repair]] (79, 35) is intimately linked to the Triangle's survival, and is maintained as a vital resource, as is backup locations [[Woolf Auto Repair]] (81, 35) and [[Hickling Auto Repair]] (81, 37) just over in [[Spracklingbank]]
| |
| * [[Mester Square]] (77, 35) is the Craske Triangle's primary active [[Revivification Point|revive point]]. A second one is the Cemetery at (80, 34).
| |
| * [[Club Swabey]] at 78, 35 has become the de facto triage for the hospital and entry point for Usher NT.
| |
| * A [[Mobile Phone Mast]] is maintained at the Self Hotel (76, 34).
| |
| * The factory at (76, 36) is also pretty important as a source of generators.
| |
| * The greater triangle area also includes [[Ostler Towers]] (78, 38), a warehouse (78, 37), [[Inder Library]] (78, 34), the [[The Steeds Building|Steeds Building]] (78, 36), the [[The Vellacott Building| Vellacott Building]] (80, 35), and the [[The Manninge Building|Manninge Building]] (79,39).
| |
| | |
| ==Barricades==
| |
| Local barricade policy has been a subject of [[Talk:Cornelius General Hospital (Spracklingbank)|controversy]] owing to the fact that Cornelius General Hospital falls within the jurisdiction of [[Spracklingbank]], which has adopted the [[Uniform Barricading Policy]]. A silent compromise seems now to have been reached, with the hospital treated as a special case and Free Running access points maintained elsewhere in the complex. The end result more closely resembles Giddings Mall's [[Alliance_of_Giddings#Policies|policies]] than it does the UBP.
| |
| | |
| For the sake of usefulness, this section will leave all such matters to the appropriate talk pages. Following are the ''actual, likely'' barricade levels travelers will find in the neighborhood, as mostly agreed upon and usually maintained by the permanent residents of each building.
| |
| * Club Swabey at 78, 35 is kept at VS for newbie survival and Free Running entry. ''Count on entering through this building.''
| |
| * Nuttycombe is always barricaded to EH.
| |
| * Goldney PD is usually kept at VS+2 except when under attack.
| |
| * Cornelius is often at VS+2, but moves quickly to EH when attacked. Do not rely on it for an entry point.
| |
| * The Usher Building is always barricaded to EH.
| |
| * Every other adjacent building is an actual or decoy safehouse and will likely be barricaded to EH.
| |
| | |
| ==Revives==
| |
| The recently deceased in need of [[revivification]] should stand at [[Mester Square]].
| |
| If you wish to be eligible, ''ever'', for revives in this neighborhood, '''do not kill zombies standing at Mester Square.''' That you were also a zombie at the time is not a valid excuse. You will wind up on the DNR list and your revive requests will be ignored.
| |
| | |
| ==News==
| |
| * Please add new news entries, field reports, etc. at the <u>bottom</u> of this section. Sign and date your report by adding <nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki> at the bottom like so. (Remove the nowiki tags you'll notice while editing the page.) And '''don't worry about screwing things up,''' that's what wikis are for!

| | |
| * The issue of barricades at the hospital has [[Talk:Cornelius_General_Hospital_(Spracklingbank)#MHG|come up again]]. Reading this, it will be pretty clear what my opinions are on the matter. What you need to do is decide whether you want the DEM and their thugs in the MFD running the local hospital. There are fair arguments for the UBP and the Distributed Defense doctrine; I happen to think they are laughably simplistic and a recipe for countless wasted AP and lethal chaos in the resource supply. They are also no fun.
| |
| * The decision, as I see it, is to repopulate the hospital and PD with people now residing in useless safehouses, where it literally takes ''infinitely'' more AP to check resource building barricades and equipment. If we do not retake the hospital in short order, the MFD will assume control. History shows that under these conditions the hospital barricades will - despite assurances to the contrary - be enforced at VS ''regardless of siege status,'' players lacking Free Running are scattered to several locations & left to fend for themselves, and the hospital will be in an even more constant state of flux depending upon how bored the MFD are with the place and the amount of drama it provides them.
| |
| * If we retake the hospital quickly, we can apply as a block for membership in the [[Alliance of Giddings]] and be afforded some protection. If this does not happen it is my belief that the hospital will be split off from the greater Triangle and we will have no say in how the place is run.
