Hi

Are you active in the Pimbank or Tollyton areas? I hear it's pretty deserted up there right now. I'm trying to get more people in touch with each other around the suburbs of Roftwood, Stanbury Village, Edgecombe, Pimbank, and Tollyton - Benigno ^{SSZ RCC} 21:37, 4 July 2012 (BST)

Page Layout

Like the layout you have. I just need to familiarize myself with the shorthand and templates to interact properly. - Charles Whipplebotum 23:31, 28 July 2012 (BST)

Just look around and you'll get the hang of it. Take a look at some "Edit"-pages and you'll learn a lot :) -- Johnny Twotoes 23:43, 28 July 2012 (BST)

*bumps her way into old conversation not including her* What fantastic advice! TombTrash 06:12, 4 September 2012 (BST)

Thanks

Hi Johnny. Thanks for the badge! I;'ll put it up on my USer page and display it with pride. I do have one question: How can my beloved Burchell Arms not be on your bar guide? I still like your bar guide, but I recommend adding the Burch. Swing by for a beer and you'll see why!

 Jesus Sante CFT 03:09, 1 August 2012 (BST)

If I add, will you guys come over to West Beck to start the tour with me and a couple of other DEM guys? :P -- Johnny Twotoes 03:12, 1 August 2012 (BST)

Hell, Yes! You name the date. I'll be there personally and I'm sure some others will tag along as well. We can always use another excuse to drink. Jesus Sante ^CFT 03:32, 2 August 2012 (BST)

I suggest you guys get your asses over to West Becktown then ;) Me and some others are clearing some zed out there and I'm going on tour as soon as that's done! Everyone and their mother is welcome, although a strong liver is a requirement!-- Johnny Twotoes 03:36, 2 August 2012 (BST)

On my way! Thanks for the invite. I'll scrounge up some other unsavory BAR types as well. First round is on you!

Jesus Sante ^CFT 03:43, 2 August 2012 (BST)

Looking forward to it :) I'll be setting the party off with a short speech in the first bar ;) Invite all the survivors you know, really looking forward to having a big freakin party! -- Johnny Twotoes 04:03, 2 August 2012 (BST)

OOps! I missed your message. I'm in East Becktown. Where you guys at now? Jesus Sante ^CFT 00:22, 10 August 2012 (BST)

Giving a goodbye party at Caiger. Come over and after we'll have a bar crawl :p -- Johnny Twotoes 01:57, 10 August 2012 (BST)

I've been chipping away at Craiger, but that's a tough nut to crack! I'm going to start my pub run at Meade in a couple of days. I'll post updates on my forum. I'll buy the first round! Jesus Sante ^CFT 03:52, 15 August 2012 (BST)

Let me know when you leave, I'll come with you ;) -- Johnny Twotoes 04:03, 15 August 2012 (BST)

Meet you there tomorrow! Jesus Sante ^CFT 03:49, 16 August 2012 (BST)

I'll try and get the Academy going, I'll be there. -- Johnny Twotoes 03:54, 16 August 2012 (BST)

I'm about halfway done with the pub crawl. Some have been awesome, some have been empty. Jesus Sante ^CFT 03:46, 28 August 2012 (BST)

I finished! I documented the experience in that page you made. I hope some of it can be useful to you. I'm going to head home for a bit, but contact me in a couple of months. We'll head through the middle of Malton and do a version 2! Maybe a southern leg after that? Jesus Sante ^CFT 04:22, 9 September 2012 (BST)

Thanks for the badge. I'll wear it proudly. I completed that summary you mentioned. Jesus Sante ^CFT 04:08, 13 September 2012 (BST)

Re: Me again

This is what I'm using right now, i think its the side by side table with the large templates. -Charles Whipplebotum 05:02, 5 August 2012 (BST)

Just use the same thing in the tables and with the templates. The percentage is about the amount of available space. -- Johnny Twotoes 05:05, 5 August 2012 (BST)

Rent A Troop

You may have wanted to leave your message at User talk:Rent A Troop, not on the user page. -- Spiderzed█ 21:04, 6 August 2012 (BST)

I know, my bad: the userpage didn't exist and I reacted as if it was the talk page :) Thanks anyway! -- Johnny Twotoes 21:04, 6 August 2012 (BST)

You remember that city map?

The one that was breaking the inclusion limit? Yeah. I got it working with loads of room to spare. Previously, I had been setting background:#000 for each empty block. I realized it was a much better idea to just set the entire table to have a background of #000, then simply drop the background from those cells. The result is the same, but it uses FAR less code, so we now have a complete city. All you need to do now is make individual templates for each suburb in the pattern that I used for Darvall Heights. —Aichon— 14:40, 12 August 2012 (BST)

That's adjusting about 100 templates? Impressive Aichon! I'll start on it later today!

I just noticed it's more than just a few lines each template :P I'll see what I can do ;) -- Johnny Twotoes 14:54, 12 August 2012 (BST)

Genral Spoilers

They all die at the end. It was a dream. The butler did it. Dean Keaton was Keyeser Soze. Bruce Willis was already dead. Charles Whipplebotum 06:40, 29 August 2012 (BST)

Noooooooooooooooo! :( -- Johnny Twotoes 14:02, 29 August 2012 (BST)

It sinks, Senator Palpatine was actually Emperor Palpatine, she was totally a dude.--Ross^WHO????ness 15:02, 29 August 2012 (BST)

That doesn't even make sense... It was clear in S03,Ep05 that it was genderless! -- Johnny Twotoes 18:00, 29 August 2012 (BST)

Johnny!

Hi! I knew you'd like that I did something with my page! I'm still learning lots. And don't worry, I was going to come to you with questions when I figured out what I wanted to do with some stuff!! Thank you! :) TombTrash 06:11, 4 September 2012 (BST)

	Hey, Friend!
	TombTrash found a bakery and is sharing the loot! <3

BARHAH HELLO

Hey man, I hope everything is OK with you, we haven't seen you in a while. Drop by IRC sometime we miss you.--Papa Irishmen 04:43, 25 September 2012 (BST)

Hey irish, I know, but rl has been too busy to maintain two chars right now and I miss most of the striketimes these days :( PB&J 05:22, 25 September 2012 (BST)

Drop by IRC still, we miss you friend. Oh we're having an event soon, I can fill you in on the details there. --Papa Irishmen 21:17, 11 October 2012 (BST)

I'd love to, but my hours are all wonked, since I jetlagged back to Belgium ;) PB&J 10:39, 13 October 2012 (BST)

Did no one ever tell you not to sleep in the street?

I'm told you were delicious. Gordon 20:55, 17 October 2012 (BST)

They did and I tell people myself constantly. That's what you get for trying to play UD during school hours and having to log off just too soon :) As for the delicious part: that has been proven 17 times so far. PB&J 00:35, 18 October 2012 (BST)

TRP Maps

So I ended up doing this as a mockup for the Tactical Resource Points Page (see the maps near the bottom). If you end up making DangerCenter versions showing the danger levels of buildings by resource type (i.e. danger levels for just FAKs, just guns, just Necros, etc.), I wonder if it makes sense to use those for the individual maps in the above page since you don't really need the resource color code anymore? What do you think? I'd think it makes sense to keep the color code for all the TRPS since you want to know where they are rather than what their danger level is. Thought I get the map expert's take. -MHSstaff 01:51, 25 October 2012 (BST)

I'm flattered :) In my opinion, the status is necessary as well, perhaps not by colorcoding but by hovering text. The designations in the hovertext right now, like "Guns" or "Syringes" are not my thing; they're a bit unprofessional and superfluous in my eyes :) Great job on the overal project though! PB&J 12:58, 25 October 2012 (BST)

That's a really good idea to have the danger status on the hover. -MHSstaff 18:38, 25 October 2012 (BST)

So I changed it for the All TRPs map to show the suburb name on general hover, and the specifc building name when over a given resource. I am going to try to add the danger information but didn't you and Charlie have trouble getting the hover to work on your full map. I think it might break here as well? -MHSstaff 20:39, 25 October 2012 (BST)

The main problem was that we had statuses of about 5.000 items on the map. That simple fact basicly doomed the project from an aesthetic point of view. It shouldn't be a problem with your map, since you have thousands of buildings less :) PB&J 21:07, 25 October 2012 (BST)

Static Status Maps

Ok so here's the skinny on saving a map statically. Right click on a page with a map and select View Page Source from there just copy the table's code and suddenly you have a static map with little clean up.

Ridleybank & Region

Looks like it is messed up because a closing font tag is missing. I went ahead and added it above and to the template so Charles's method should work now. -MHSstaff 19:10, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, to both of you :) PB&J 19:32, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Best to wait

Grab your screenies, ride it out, and wait until the end to write it up. God that speech is embarrassing. Everyone knows the home of the RRF is Moggridge surely? --Ross Less Ness ^{Enter Stranger...} 23:22, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

As I said on the page in question, can you provide me with a list of Groups who have a no random revive policy? I'd actually like to discuss the issue with them. --Ross Less Ness ^{Enter Stranger...} 15:22, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Hey. One question. Towards the end several survivors seemed to be using blackmore itself as an indoor RP. Was this an established part of the plan or just some individuals? --Ross Less Ness ^{Enter Stranger...} 16:11, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

Coincidence mostly. PB&J 16:27, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. Wasn't sure if it was official change of position once barricading become impossible. It was an intersting, if strange tactic. --Ross Less Ness ^{Enter Stranger...} 17:00, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

Basicly, it makes sense and saves at least 2 AP of transport per person (more if cades are up): revive - if it's an ally leave him - if not, dump. PB&J 17:23, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

As long as your contacts list is sorted. Otherwise you could be shooting/reviving the wrong people. --Ross Less Ness ^{Enter Stranger...} 17:25, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

True, but that matters a lot less when shit goes down like this. It's a combo of CR and local reviving which can yield results, but only with (as always) coordination. PB&J 17:26, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

Perhaps, but if 30 of the zombies were friendlies and 6 were hostile, there would be better places to revive than in the building your defending. ;0 --Ross Less Ness ^{Enter Stranger...} 17:33, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

True, but then again, logic was not our forte the past week... PB&J 17:35, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

Nice. The trick is to learn from our mistakes.--Ross Less Ness ^{Enter Stranger...} 17:43, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

Trust me when I say I learned. Working on my personal solution. PB&J 17:44, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, if you want to NPOV this, I'd let it sit for six months, delete the pages, and start from scratch. -MHSstaff 23:21, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

Speaking of Zombie Alts

The spirit of BARHAH needs you! -MHSstaff 23:21, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

• I'm afraid Baraga is offline and due to IRL reasons, will remain dormant for a while ;) PB&J 23:41, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

PKing...

I congratulate you on your decision survivors suck. I'm not sure about the choice of PK, but to each there own. Happy killing. -- _{Org XIII} ^Alts 02:35, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

suck it kirsty--User:Sexualharrison14:47, 12 November 2012

Once a poet, always a poet, isn't that right harrison? PB&J 14:53, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

One of the nice things about the Knights is that if you aren't familiar with them, you tend not to know who is behind each of the two-letter names. Or when you might be poking at someone who has a say in your application thread. Just sayin'. >_> —Aichon— 14:58, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

But luckily in this case a quick trip to the history tab will reveal all. -- _{Org XIII} ^Alts 15:06, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Let me know how you get on. I've never explored the more murderous side of the game. --Ross Less Ness ^{Enter Stranger...} 15:09, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Aichon, I know all too well who I'm talking to. Part of the reason I dared to make the joke

Ross, I'll keep you posted. So far, PKing is the most intellectual activity I have ever done in an online game and it feels great! PB&J 15:13, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Ross, you've never PKed? I...Just...What? --DT^PK 15:33, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Maybe 10 people in 5 years. Let's see. Iron guard from the nazi zombies, A couple of members of Game Over in Borehamwood. A couple of randoms when I was levelling a zombie character. Maybe one when I decided on a whim to join the Browncoats? Not a lot. I've done the Manhunts and Red October a few times, but I've never really felt it. I think the issue is that over time I've abandoned survivor tactics, playing either as zombies or ghost town, combat reviving survivors. I think the issue might be that I hate to reload. --Ross Less Ness ^{Enter Stranger...} 15:48, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

KIll one person a day using a two pistol, all clips setup. Lets you go for ages without a restock. --DT^PK 17:19, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

God I hate restocks. --Ross Less Ness ^{Enter Stranger...} 17:25, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

As do I, but the payoff is great. There's nothing quite like seeing the message saying you killed someone for the fourth (or even fifth) time in the span of a few minutes, or being able to make a speech in a mall and then clear that mall with a few of your friends. That sort of thing gets people's attention in a way that zombie strikes simply can't. —Aichon— 18:30, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

this is a zombie game? no way!--User:Sexualharrison18:57, 12 November 2012

Hmm. I'm trying to write an analysis of the survivor meta's attitude to combat reviving, its misconceptions and alternative strategies. Once I convince them they're wrong I'll have a look at shooting them. --Ross Less Ness ^{Enter Stranger...} 21:23, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Guys, question. Whats the typical PK'er turnout for a major event Like Sanhaim in 2012? Is it organised groups or just posts on places like the PKA?--Ross Less Ness ^{Enter Stranger...} 21:22, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

I'm guessing most of us would rather not advertise our numbers so openly (the Philosophe Knights routinely change group tags, so although we blipped onto the stats page during the strike, we disappeared again shortly thereafter as we changed our tags). That said, we had enough this year to easily clear a populated mall and then move on to secondary targets, so that should give you a ballpark idea. There were several organized and recognized groups committed to it this year, each of which attended with several of its members, as well as a handful of individuals in attendance, I believe. IV ^PK 21:45, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, it's kind of why I had to ask the question. I always assumed that combined you'd have a comparable number of people to the larger survivor groups. Would that be something it's ok to write, somewhere?--Ross Less Ness ^{Enter Stranger...} 21:49, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

That is probably close enough for a generalization. I've never understood the changing/dropping tags thing. -- _{Org XIII} ^Alts 22:40, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

I experienced this first hand when we were fighting The Dead in Dunell Hills: while the alternating tags won't confuse experienced players who keep track of PKers and have been around long enough to recognize them, it will create a ton of confusion and slow down FAKing, reviving and clog communication channels. Basicly bounty hunting and primary goals (like conquering and rebuilding etc.) won't be slowed down, but your entire support structure is just bogged down to an abominable pace PB&J 22:51, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, although its not "my" support network. I get jittery in any group on the stats page. --Ross Less Ness ^{Enter Stranger...} 22:58, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

It was just an example PB&J 23:02, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

We do it for a variety of reasons, not least of which is that it's simply easier to procure random aid when you don't have to deal with the stigma that your group name carries. There's a reason why this fake character page continues to be the link provided in my in-game profile. Other reasons we change tags include the previously-mentioned sowing of confusion, simply differentiating ourselves within the group (we have several subgroups within the Knights, so we use those tags at times), or else for plain anonymity in the case of several of our secret members. IV ^PK 23:13, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

I understand the anonymity argument, makes perfect sense. --Ross Less Ness ^{Enter Stranger...} 23:14, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

I thought PK was about intelligence and shit. But now you're saying you're just trying to confuse survivors, who are stupid? -- _{Org XIII} ^Alts 23:20, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

They never said it was hard Sadly my attention has now been diverted to historical group voting. --Ross Less Ness ^{Enter Stranger...} 23:22, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
