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".

Buttonville Information Resources

AquaInfo.jpg

The Buttonville Building Information Center contains status reports and updates on key buildings in the suburb.

View zombie activity and locations in Buttonville from External Military Reports and NecroWatch.

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:

  • 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:

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.

August 19th

Is this the Gore Corps which I see before me,
A shotgun toward my face? O, shall I fight thee?
I search the area, and yet find nothing.
Art thou not, fatal zombies, sensible
To feeling as to taste? or art thou but
a hankering for brains, a single purpose,
Proceeding from a rot-opressèd mind?
