Buttonville is a suburb of Malton, located in the south of the city. A few residents held the brief opinion that this suburb should be referred to as "Cheeseville" based on a poll on one group's public forum; efforts to replace the suburb name in this article were considered vandalism under this wiki's NPOV rules and removed. It continues to be known as "Butt-ville" by several dirty-minded residents, but no effort to "correct" this article has emerged. It is occasionally abbreviated to "The Button" or "The Butt" (the source of many jokes by degenerate locals) and can be referred to as "Bazzanb!rrh" in kiZombie by players with Death Rattle. The suburb currently has no other common aliases.
Buttonville contains the western half of Buckley Mall.
Many residents, survivor and zombie alike, prefer to be referred to as "Buttonvillains".

Revive Points
|
Survivor groups advise visitors not to sleep in Buttonville's resource buildings. These buildings are generally high-profile targets for zombies, and due to the UBP-compliant Barricade Plan the local groups uphold, tend to be less-heavily barricaded; survivors sleeping inside make these tempting targets into all-you-can-eat buffets as well.
Zombie groups, on the other hand, advise visiting zombies that survivors rarely take their own advice, and that most VSB buildings do turn out to be buffets after all.
Besides Buckley Mall, Buttonville has:
- 4 NT Buildings (the Fort Building [47, 90], the Brazey Building [48, 91], the Tebbett Building [48, 96], and the Pryor Building [41, 98])
- 2 Fire Stations (Whittem Place Fire Station [41, 97] and Garlick Square Fire Station [48, 98])
- 1 Police Station (Ranson Boulevard Police Dept [47, 92])
- 1 Hospital (St Soter's Hospital [40, 91])
In addition St Soter's Hospital in NW Buttonville, two hospitals lie just on the border: St Agatho's Hospital @ [42, 89] near NW corner in Kinch Heights and Julie General Hospital @ [50, 97] near SE corner in Wyke Hills. Near the NE corner in West Grayside is Piran General Hospital @ [50, 88].
Radio
Survivor groups strongly recommend that radios and transmitters in Buttonville be tuned to:
- 26.84 Radio Buttonville
Zombie groups strongly recommend that radios and transmitters in Buttonville be eaten.
Most survivor groups and unaffiliated survivors, including Buckley Mall residents, have adopted the Radio Buttonville frequency for mutual defense and ease of suburb-wide communication. Other theoretically applicable but largely unused (in Buttonvile) radio frequencies are as follows:
- 26.15 - the DEM SW-5 protectorate frequency covering Dartside, Spicer Hills, Williamsville, Kinch Heights, as well as Buttonville
- 26.45 - The Williamsville Defense Coalition radio network currently covering Spicer Hills, Dartside, Williamsville, and Buttonville.
- 28.01 - Many PKers find it is harder for their victims to report them to the Rogues Gallery if the required screenshot is filled with miles upon miles of spam radio messages.
Revive Points
There are three operational revivification locations in Buttonville:
- a cemetery [44, 93] (south of St Columbanus's Church)
- wasteland [47, 95] (west of Hutchin Bank)
- a cemetery [40,98] (south of St Aidan's Church)
Survivor groups in this neighborhood adhere to the policy of No Random Revives (not affiliated with the Randoms); which usually requires one to register one's in-game profile ID on a Revivification Request Tool to prevent reviving PKers. Revive policies in the suburb include (but may not be limited to):
- The Randoms request that revive-seekers use their revive request forum. Most other groups in the area monitor this revive queue.
- The Department of Emergency Management prefer that revive-seekers use the DEM Revive Request Tool. (Some groups in the area may monitor this queue.)
- PKers request that Revive Technicians perform their duties without bias or moral judgment.
- Zombies request that revive-seekers greet each other, as well as any harmanz who happen to wander into range, with a friendly bite, then sing and dance for a bit (because everybody likes a show while they stand in a queue).
Historical: The St Aidan's Church [40, 97] was an early revivification clinic starting in November 2005. It was closed in October 2006 to simplify the revive points given there is a Sacred Ground cemetery one south.

Over a third of buildings are ruined including currently Tebbett NT, Fort NT, Brazey NT, Buckley Mall, Ranson Blvd Police Stn, and Garlick Fire Stn. Pryor NT is caded, but with 8 zombies outside, and the front of ruined buildings immediately east. --ZaqWer 04:49, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
- Fort was empty, has been repaired but needs cading. --Apocalyptic doom 15:47, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
November 26th
25.96 MHz: "... crossing Buttonville now, can see over a hundred down there ... a horde of maybe fifty outside Buckley Mall ... a lot of lights on, though, there are still people down there ... some minor structural damage though ... the Pryor Building has power ..." Laitaine 22:40, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
"Buckley Mall has been breached, 60 zombies have eaten all the survivors in the NE section. 30 zombies were killing the last of the NW section when i fled. SW and SE sections are still largely held by survivors but there's a few zombies in both suggesting that the barricades are failing." Four Hundred Rabbits 19:45, 26 November 2008 (EST)
November 25th
Over 90 zombies in Buttonville now. More than half of the east is ruined including the three NT buildings, the fire station, and the police station. Zombies have also started tearing at the barricades at the mall. The DvEM is vocal in the area. --ZaqWer 04:32, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
November 20th
Ranson Boulevard Police Dept ruined. --ZaqWer 14:23, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
November 19th
Apparently, both attacking zombies and Mrh?-ing refugees from nearby West Greyside, et al., have spilled into Buttonville. The Fort and Brazey NTs have been ruined[1], and the nearby Ranson Boulevard Police Dept was busted open tonight, as well [2]. Moderate a least. --WanYao 06:55, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
Multiple radio Buttonville broadcasts were heard this morning threatening that the zombie group the Shambling Seagulls are on their way. This is curious as the group is marked as "Historical." Their web page indicates roots in the Minions of the Apocalypse, and zombies from that group have been confirmed in the area. --ZaqWer 17:46, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
October 2008
October 1st
Only 2 zombies sighted on the streets, compared to 4 survivors. All 14 Tactical Resource Points are powered (including the western half of Buckley Mall), as is most of the suburb. Safe. --Funt Solo QT
