Who's a PKer?

This has been moved here from the News page, it's not news come to think of it, and we're sharing opinions left, right and center while news is meant to be NPOV --TouchingVirus 17:54, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Might I take this time to ask anybody thinking of reporting PKers on the news thread that BrainStock exists for a reason, and you can't just write Joe Soap is a PKer without proof! Remove from news to discussion if you want but with two PKer 'reports' in the last number of days I think it needs to be said here --TouchingVirus 12:41, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

BrainStock is not accepting PKer reports for Borehamwood.--mvario 13:57, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Discussion Page? New PKer list page? It's not general news after all, just check out the description above the news --TouchingVirus 17:20, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

As there seems to be no better venue for disseminating the information, I will again post that PK group Game Over appears to have taken up residence in Elstree. Known members are Quachek and Blaise Baill. I believe they are editing themselves out of posts, and will continue to repost as often as I can. A former group of mine has confirmed Quachek and Blaise Baill as PKers: Tregidga Row Police. I hope this post is thorough enough to remain. --Brad Karlin 16:20, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Brad, I've not seen members of Game Over here in Elstree. According to the forums at Barhah.com the Game Over Group are currently up with the Borehamwood Party Crew in Radlett. Also, I spotted Lilith Green myself, she does not bear any tags from Game Over and I question if she is a member, or indeed a PKer at all. What I'm saying is proof is required if you're going to name and shame, perhaps provide the proof over on the discussion page for Elstree. I've removed Lilith from your naming above, I left the other two in because I can confirm they are indeed pker's --TouchingVirus 17:20, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Umbrella B, one of their claimed victims, names her specifically as one of his killers. Good enough? --Comite 16:53, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Not really Comite. My point is I can take my zombie I have with the Borehamwood Party Crew, remove the group tag, pop in a similar description (PKed by Y) and then you'd all go mad when you see Y? If I were to get PK'd I'll take a screenshot and have that link in my profile, that's proof. That said, it is mighty suspicious that Lilith Green is there with two guys who are known PKers, but she still doesn't have Game Over in her group. Could it be that Umbrella was defending himself and Lilith healed Blaise or the other guy? It's all very suspicious (the lack of proof I mean) but until I've got concrete proof I'm not putting a bullet in her head - this is Borehamwood, there's no coming back from that --TouchingVirus 17:54, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Elstree's militia?

I'm surely think we need some Home guard in Elstree. But, of course, i cannot organize it by myself, i need some support from other citizens of Elstree... What do you think about this? --Pheen 21:35, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Hey Pheen. It's been a while. I think we should create a Poncione Court PD branch, as we already have in a way. I will gladly begin to organize a bit--Ragrillo 04:29, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

The south edge of Elstree appears to be the edge of the city; however, according to the Borehamwood map, there is a suburb to the southeast of Elstree. Is it possible that Borehamwood is not a perfect square? Squideshi 18:24, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, it seems it's something like Newtown in Monroeville. This map is VERY inaccurate, the suburb is more more bigger, of course.--Pheen 22:28, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

It appears that Halberry Alley School is the southwest corner of Elstree. The "impassable edge of the quarantine zone, with layers of razorwire, low fencing and concrete-slab walls blocking your way" is located to the west, southwest, and south of this location. Squideshi 01:36, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

I've not been there, but I would think Elstree is located more to the southwest from Borehamwood, instead of plain west as was assumed. We've found a small suburb called Radlett 17 blocks to the northwest of West Borehamwood. So if you scout Northeast for 17 blocks from Elstree, you should find yourself in West or southwest Borehamwood. Recommend you look for west borehamwood as it's been mostly mapped already. Zolt 06:19, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

The suburb is indeed misshapen. Since we have now mapped the western border of Elstree as well as the southern border, we now know that it is 21 blocks tall and 27 blocks wide. I have a map detailing the areas we have found so far on a separate website. If someone could format this to fit the wiki map, I would greatly appreciate it. --Ragrillo 00:50, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Suburb Neighbours

I believe that the layout of the suburbs is as below as I have iWitness reports around teh NW corner of the suburb both to the North and East of Elstree it's self. --Cjo9911 23:25, 2 November 2008 (UTC) Reports

Just to the East of the NW corner of Elstree [[1]]

Just to the north of the NW corner of Elstree [[2]]

Just to the North More towards the centre of Elstree [[3]] [[4]]

Just to the East of the NW corner of Elstree [[5]]

Naming whilst mapping

By and large there will be no location pages for individual locations (that is specific named places rather than generic buildings such as "a factory") in Borehamwood yet.

If our intrepid mappers could please check their links after they update their entries, if their link is blue (i.e. live) then chances are that it's a name already used by a place in Malton. As per wiki naming conventions the link should be altered.

For example, The Shiel Building is in both Malton and West Borehamwood.

The link [[The Shiel Building]] directs a user to The Shiel Building in Malton.

The Borehamwood link should be rendered as [[The Shiel Building (Borehamwood)|The Shiel Building]] which will be a red (i.e. dead) link until the page is created, for example The Shiel Building.

In time disambiguation pages will need to be made to allow users to find the two locations from one search, and utilising these naming conventions now will allow us to find them easier to perform these tasks.

Doing this helps the newbies find where there are, especially players who have come aboard with this new promotion and may not yet be familiar with Malton.

Cross posting this to all Borehamwood suburb talk pages so that everyone sees it.

Cheers. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 11:10, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
