Group Backstory

Once the city erupted in chaos, the frightened people of Malton had no one to turn to for help. Arson, looting, and mass hysteria made even the most level headed citizen dangerous. An outbreak of a deadly virus was turning the city's people into mindless, flesh eating zombies. As droves of people ran to escape the city, a few brave souls ran back in. They went to save lives and do what they could. These men and women have several titles...firemen, police officers, military personnel, and doctors. But it is their other title, the one of "volunteer" that makes them who they are. They know there is a chance they might lose their lives in the line of duty, but it is a chance they have to take. Heroes don't grow on trees, but sometimes you can find them right down the street. If you are a citizen of Malton, and you need help, please locate a member and they will assist you.

You are not alone. Help is on the way.

Group Goals

The MCDU operates as an independent unit in protecting the citizens of Malton. To use an analogy, the MCDU is the sabre operating alongside the massive warhammer of the main DEM ranks. We specialize in tactical reclamation, usage of psychological warfare, and strategic insertions. As such, although the numbers are few, the overall power of the group is not to be underestimated.

The MCDU accepts all members regardless of class, and is also the only DEM branch that accepts military classes, all cadets receive top training in The Academy before being assigned into a unit. Further specialist training is provided withing the unit. For example, a cadet in the MACH unit will receive specialized scouting training, a cadet in the Red Storm assault unit will carry a different set from the MACH scout, that is, aside from the basic kit,

As of July 9th 2008, the MCDU were reorganized into three large units, with older units being disbanded so as to ensure easier coordination. These three units are
Unit Four "The Shadowmen"
Unit Five "The MACH Team" - Long Range Reconnaissance Unit
Unit Seven "The Red Storm"

MCDU R&D

The MCDU, due to its size, is idea for running new strategies in combat, new innovations can then be passed on to the mass DEM force.

Standard Operating Procedure

Barricading - MCDU follows the Uniform Barricading Policy of the DEM where feasible.

1. Barricading of vital buildings shall be restricted to very strongly
   1. Vital buildings are as follows
      1. Hospitals
      2. Police Departments
      3. Fire Stations
      4. Schools
      5. Necrotech Buildings
   2. When under attack, all barricade restrictions are lifted
2. Non-essential buildings can be barricaded up to extremely heavily
   1. Within any five square quadrant there should be four accessible safe houses
      1. Barricades can be downgraded by means of a crowbar.
      2. The same exceptions for buildings under siege may apply.
3. Safe house relocation
   1. When a safe house appears that it shall fall, alert all inhabitants of this fact and state the location of the fallback safe house in verbal form only.
      1. Alternate safe houses should be established ahead of time as a contingency.
      2. Safe houses should be barricaded to extremely heavily.
      3. A safe house can be marked as such by means of graffiti on the inside only.

First Aid

1. Personal safety comes before safety to others, be sure you have a first aid kit for yourself at all times.
   1. Infected citizens receive attention before injured citizens.
   2. Any citizen that requests first aid should receive it as soon as is feasible.
      1. A supply of first aid kits should be maintained for this purpose at all times.
      2. At level 4 or higher Diagnosis should be acquired as a skill in order to provide assistance without being asked.

Revivification

1. Revival is vital to maintain our numbers over the zombies or this will be a war of attrition.
2. MCDU members should be revived in preference over other survivors, then allied factions, then other survivors.
3. If you are infected, make your way to the nearest hospital for assistance.
4. If you die, get to the nearest revive point or cemetery for revival. Alert the MCDU Combat Controllers that you are in need of assistance and they will endeavor to help you out. Lastly, post a request on the DEM Revivification Requests page and do not move from your posted location until you are revived.

With regards to alt characters

1. In addition to the rules and regulations that all others in the DEM abide by, MCDU members agree to a higher standard with regards to alternate characters. You may play any style of alt you wish...zombie, human, PK'er...whatever. However, the MCDU maintains that no alternate character of yours may kill an active MCDU member. This is considered a conflict of interest and in poor taste. Also, in following Urban Dead rules and DEM policy, your alts may not reside in the same suburb as your active MCDU character. It's fine to play them, just make them lead a completely separate life from the MCDU and its whereabouts. Failure to comply to this, or causing an MCDU member's death with one of your alts, is grounds for termination from the MCDU (subject to review by MCDU command). Please make sure you are able to comply with this policy before joining the MCDU.
