The 2008 Inaugural Player Killer Olympiad
Welcome to Malton's First Player Killer Olympic Games! The Player Killer community of Malton has raised the act of homocide to an art form such as humanity has never seen in its history. Let us no longer be deprived of sport by virtue of quarantine and the presence of the fetid undead. This September, the Player Killer community will gather in diabolical competition to learn who among our number are the best of the best at executing execution.
From now through Friday we are soliciting INPUT on rules, protocol, anything really. After that we've gotta close it and run with it. For more information of all kinds, visit: Player Killer Olympics Page
Core Policy
Rummers are absolutely free to wander and shoot anyone and anything they like. This includes Rummers, allies and enemies. Particularly the leadership of Red Rum. Bang. BANG BANG BANG. Red Rum Body CountIt currently stands at 7607 unfortunate souls. The following are our non-event reporting threads: Archive 1 (June 06 - Nov 06) Archive 2 (Nov 06 - April 07) Archive 3 (July 07 - June 08) Current Record IntroductionAre you tired of the stigma attached to murdering people for no adequately explainable reason? We aren't about petty disputes and vendettas; we're creating a masterpiece. And you, my Mrh Cow friends, are the paint. Current NewsWhat? You've never heard of Gulsonside?Red Rum attempts to generate some publicity for the oft-ignored suburb of Gulsonside, but it turns out most of the Rummers couldn't find it, much less those surveyed on such related geographical inquiries. Our tourist agency went bankrupt before even getting off the ground due to poor financing and a lack of presidential bobble-heads. Ah well, such is the way of these things. Body Count: 25 Juneish: Daily RuminationsAlong with our other hijinks, Red Rum has launched a newspaper. It's quick, concise and potentially deadly. Mmmhm. PS Yus, we are in Monroeville. Watch yosef! More or less MayAfter wandering aimlessly for a bit, searching for a meaning and purpose in life beyond drinking tea and hitting each other with hockey sticks, a call to arms of PKer groups was set forth by The Imperium Must Die Coalition to, you guessed it, kill the Imperium for a variety of transgressions which don't be detailed here. After a month-long invasion, the Imperium was unceremoniously disbanded and its leader, Gavriel Loken, quit for good. All in all, a wondrous experience, and we're all the better for it. Despite some rather petty editing by our fallen foes, the PKer cause once again won a rather decisive victory in the resulting arbitration. Good show all! Body Count: 211 Aprilish: 4/5 NEVAR FORGET!In accordance with the will of the Populat, Red Rum will be supporting DORIS in its drive to avenge the shocking death of Charlton Heston, who was slain by gun control activists in Lockettside in an attempt to pry the guns from his cold dead hands. In accordance with article 16 of the will of the Populat, Red Rum will assist in the suppression of all gun control activists in Lockettside. NRA-endorsed pistol ranges will be established in selected buildings to educate the public on their second amendment rights. Body Count:82 Yeah..... Ooops?Turns out we don't make the best survivors. After barricading, reviving, and generally being a helpful sort 'round the North-East, we finally snapped and a bloodbath ensued. With zombies swarming the area like a plague of locusts, we shot at everything with a pulse, including, as always, ourselves from time to time. The corpses piled up, our ammo dwindled, and with our pent-up lust finally appeased, we dispersed once more until our next gathering. Body Count: 99 A TruceIt's now the 19th of March, and we've brokered a ceasefire (I've always wanted to use that phrase) with the Dulston Alliance that will last until The Dead are no longer a presence in the game. Well, most of the Dulston Alliance. The Friends of the Featherstone Library don't want to be part of this, which is disappointing but hardly surprising. Something Awful / The DeadLet's get down to brass tacks here, The Dead are not good for the game. This is nothing but a Something Awful forum goon invasion, and the only reason they're here is to troll the UD community and see how badly they can disrupt the game. You'd think that'd be right up our alley, but The Dead are basically making the game less fun for everyone. So until this problem gets sorted out, many Rummers will be going straight for a while and helping survivors. The more we minimize the impact of the Dead, and the quicker we said "You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air." I whistled for a cab and when it came near, the license plate said FRESH and there were dice in the mirror. If anything I could tell this cab was rare, but I said "Nah forget it, yo holmes to Bel-Air!" I pulled up to the house about seven or eight and I said to the cabbie "Yo holmes smell ya later!" Looked at my kingdom I was finally there, to sit in my throne as the prince of Bel-Air. One True Vois Tour '08 - Turn of the New YearIn an ode to our mentally deteriorated leader's retirement, a tour was set upon in his ever-so-salty name. To kick it off, a party with the Quartly Librarians was held on New Year's Day;debauchery and bullets abounded, and everyone awoke with a terrible hangover. After passing around ample amounts of coffee, Rummers staggered over to the Malton City Zoo and said hello to the caretakers, with the occasional misfire. Quickly though, rumblings were felt throughout Malton. The reason? PKers were being slain left and right, all at the hands of Scour the Earth. Red Rum flocked to the Blythvilles and join Team Zombie Hardcore in fighting back against the oppression being wrought by StE. Nonetheless, we were able to do little but watch as both Rummers and the TZH were easily decimated by their rampage. Hearing that StE was basing itself in Tompson Mall, Red Rum rallied for one last bought on Valentine's Day, when they were to be at the most vulnerable. However, it was not to be, as they had been lying in wait for some time. Bodies piled up on both sides, and no prisoners were taken; even our photographer was not spared, and only impromptu pictures were taken. As the smoke cleared, no one was left standing in the quadrant the blood bath had taken place in. Body Count: 102 December 4th through Christmas EveWhilst we rested in northern Malton after our ordeal in Jerusalem, it seems that trouble was brewing within the confines of the KG50. DK13, in an effort to "prepare" for the onslaught brought about by The Second Big Bash, expanded their operations north into Joachim Mall. Their DK13 Martial Law, as it was so dubbed, rocked the very foundations upon which the actions of a survivor group were founded upon. In a desperate effort to stop DK13's madness, Red Rum traveled southeast on a mission of mercy, heeding the cries of the estranged survivors of Joachim Mall. The soldiers of DK13 repaid our kind overture by impersonating Red Rum members and then shooting themselves in an act of desperate confusion, in order to ward us off from their new territory. As an unfortunate consequence of our selfless acts, Red Rum's reputation has yet to recover from the false accusations that DK13 has heaped upon us, ranging from assault to cold blooded murder. After the dust settled, a heap of bloodied and broken bodies was all that remained. Body Count: 155 December 3rd - Red Rum ruins CaigerCaiger Mall has fallen prey to Red Rum's Latrobe Crusade in what some are calling the Siege of Jerusalem itself. Ultimately, we slaughtered a mass of survivors. Body counts Body Count: 95 November until... wheneverRed Rum are proud to announce a brand new community service: we're maintaining (un)Safe Houses for the people of Malton. Our pilot (un)Safe House at the Latrobe Building has been a runaway success, and we're pleased to announce that we'll be expanding the program. Every Necrotech Building near Caiger Mall will now be part of our (un)Safe House program. We encourage survivors in the northwest to kick back and relax in these designated (un)Safe Houses, secure in the knowledge that their (un)Safety will be taken care of by diligent Red Rum staff. OctoberRed Rum have been busy shooting things at Fort Perryn, finishing off the final two survivors in the gatehouse today. We might have been assisted in a small way to this aim by massed zombies, but that is debatable. Sept 18thThe IRC is busier than ever. Join us at irc.nexuswar.com/#redrum for hijinks and mischief. SeptemberThe latest month brings a new Rum policy: Rummers are quite free to shoot anyone they choose, but are reminded to expend ammo in a friendly manner. They are particularly encouraged to shoot current Red Rum admin Suburban Ed, though any of the chief biscuits (except Karl) are fair game. September 8th 2007Red Rum hold a picnic in Ridleybank, combat reviving Blackmore with some strong tea. Rummers declare ultimate victory over the zombie hordes, shortly before being eaten. 15th August 2007The forums are running smoothly. Lovely! The IRC is always open for nonsense: irc.nexuswar.com/#redrum August 2007Red Rum are off for a vacation in New Baghdad. Keep in touch! 30th July 2007Return to Caiger - We took a trip for the weekend to our favourite Mall. Rummers swarmed en masse with our new purchases on Sunday, causing a spot of bother for the active residents. Body Count: 35 June 2007Many Rummers were inspired by the group Tactical Area Rescue and decided to declare Martial Law in Wyke Hills so that the suburb may be truly safe for this group. Unfortunately for TAR, just as many Rummers felt like TAR needed to be shot to death. It provided some wonderfully comedic moments from Sharline Jade, who wasn't too pleased with our antics. 2nd May 2007Red Rum has officially moved on from Rolt Heights and the war with the BAR, for pastures greener. Mutterings about a Battle Royale are unfounded, as are many rumours suggesting a variety of activities throughout the city. In other news, karloth vois (aka "The Red Tape") has retired from the leadership due to senility, leaving behind c138, Shad and the (in)competent Staff Cabinet, as well as installing The Dancing Banana in his place as leader of the Strikers. He's confident they'll further the usual chaos admirably. 30th April 2007Shad has accepted a further (and damn speedy) promotion into the cult of Super Admin, and is taking on joint leadership of Red Rum with c138 and karloth vois. 15th April 200Shad has accepted a promotion to admin, and will be overseeing all new applications to Red Rum. He can probably be bribed. 9th April 2007Aleph has accepted a promotion to work alongside The Red Village Idiot as "Biscuit Socialist Comrades" in Red Rum's most reclusive of departments. 4th April 2007Red Rum is holidaying in Rolt Heights with several member groups of the PKA. Scone, anyone? Kills: 192 3rd April 2007A new Department is born, the Stalkers. Both Shad and Strange have been promoted to overlords of this new domain. 1st April 2007Red Rum descended on Giddings Mall and immediately began shouting, hitting people with golf clubs and healing them. Barricades were repaired, and survivors left confused. Kills: Excluding friendly fire, none whatsoever! 30th March 2007c138 has accepted her promotion to joint leadership of Red Rum, and is joining Karloth Vois in the position of benevolent dictator. As they're both sour Scots, decisions are expected to continue to run smoothly. 20th March 2007Murray Jay Suskind has stepped up to take the mantle of leader of the Wanderers. We're still not voting for his Mayoral campaign, however. 15th March 2007The Ides Of March: Another multi-group attack with much of the PKA, we turned our attentions on Ackland to celebrate the betrayal and death of Caesar. Though the Mall did not fall on that fateful day, the attack heavily destabilised the surrounding region. Kills: 76 (Post encumbrance) 14th March 2007For his wonderful cartography work, tuttle freely has been sacrificed to the greater good and promoted into the staff team. He's also been given a new and highly secretive department to preside over. 13th March 2007Leadership turnover: As of today, Sirens has stood down as leader of Red Rum, with Karloth Vois taking Sirens' place. Sirens may well still be around, just not in any official capacity. |
