Talk:Scurvy Scroungers
Do you zerg?
This post is to address the above question. I suspect the answer is "yes", but I'd like to present my case here and give you a chance to defend yourself.
Scurvy Scoungers named "zerg"
The following accounts were all created on 2009-01-03.
- HandyManZerg http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1441846
- PostManZerg http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1441754
- MilkManZerg http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1441850
- GenZerg http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1441751
Furthermore, you've listed CapZerg as an important member of the Scurvy Scroungers. If so, is he also responsible for the following accounts or are they separate players?

There are other scroungers with the last name "zerg" which I have not listed. I understand that some groups like to choose similar naming conventions to show unity but perhaps you can see why this draws suspicion, particularly with the accounts created on 2009-01-03.
Confusion among the ranks?
On your newly created wiki page you've listed Maron Deldibon as an important member of the Scurvy Scroungers. I have witnessed Maron attacking in turn, within a minute of a Scrounger attack so I believe this claim to be true. However Maron's group affiliation is actually Urban Paladin, not Scurvy Scrounger. I can understand the confusion, if you are managing multiple accounts.
Lack of a wiki or forum
This wiki page was created today, Jan 27th, 2009. For quite a long time the Scroungers consisted of 10 players. But within the last few weeks your numbers have shot up to 21. This seems unusual since during that time you had no wiki page or forum to recruit with. Furthermore, Scurvy Scrounger graffiti in New Arkham is non-existant.
My question to you is - "How does a zombie group with no means of in-game communication, no wiki presence, no allies, and no advertising go from 10 to 21 members in a matter of weeks?"
My explanation is quite simple. There is no need for a forum or an in-game recruitment drive if to bolster your numbers you simply create more accounts. This is my argument. I have been biased in my argument so that it would stand on its own. However I will objectively listen to your response and I hope that the zerging, if it exists, is the result of a rogue member and not your policy as a group.

Heads up
Controll = wrong. Control = right. --Pestolence(talk) 01:09, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
I agree with Giles...something's definitely amiss with this crew.
Glad to see it wasn't just me imaginging things and I wouldn't hold my breath awaiting an honest reply from anyone in that crew.
