Latest OBR SitRep 11:41, 1 February 2010 (UTC)Grigg Heights: While the southern portion of the suburb seems in decent shape, the north and eastern part of the suburb are ruined. Crooketon: Crooketon is slowly rebuilding, with numerous ferals in the suburb. Reganbank: Latest reports from the Grey Swords indicate the suburb is in ruins with many waiting for revives. Mornington: Last report was on the 26 January... MOB has since moved east to North Blythville. Presumably in ruins. Lerwill Heights: Heavy zombie activity. TRPs changing hands daily. 20105 FebruaryDue to declining membership, 404: Barhah Not Found merges with the Order of the Black Rose and will continue to live on as a mobile sub-group. 5 January-27 JanuaryThe OBR quickly mobilized its own members around the Merson NT, realizing that it will fall but should serve as a good beacon for drawing further support. Over the next few weeks, OBR members spread word of mouth, make radio broadcasts, and send runners to Ackland Mall and Marven Mall to try and rally support. Even with survivors coming to the district and looking to stay and fight, the Order of the Black Rose recognizes that there are simply too few survivors for tradional siege tactics. Alternative options are discussed and a course is decided upon.
1 January-5 JanuaryKicking off the new decade in style, the OBR partied at Merson and the surrounding taverns, with a lot of bleed over into some of the schools and even a couple of the old auto repair shops. After the headache went away, they decided to embark upon the largest PR campaign to date! The objective was quite simple: grab as many spray cans as they could carry and tag every billboard, Tactical Resource Point, and mast building in the Rose District!
20095 November-22 December: OPERATION: VOODOOOn 5 November the OBR launched a concerted effort to retake and hold the Merson throughout the holiday season. With some unexpected help from the Know Nothings, the Rose District's NT was back in business in a few short days.
5 October-9 OctoberAfter some weeks of dragging activity, the OBR launches OPERATION: RING! RING!. The goal: bring all five mobile masts in the Rose District online before Halloween!
22 June-15 JulyOver the course of a few weeks, the Rose District was almost completely overrun with the living dead, with Grigg Heights and Crooketon suffering the most. Calling to arms, the Order of the Black Rose captured the Merson Building with the help of BMF Construction and Breach of Peace and planned to hold it for as long as they could to draw the zombie presence away from other parts of the district. After many weeks of fighting the Order of the Black Rose decided to depart from the Merson Building. We drew many zeds away from other parts of the Rose District and allowed them the breathing room to rebuild, but Grigg Heights got too hot to handle--so we got out of the kitchen.
24 MarchThe OBR has officially made its way onto the Stats page!
19 Feb-4 MarchThe Order of the Black Rose departs from its current activities to help Marven Mall in South Blythville prepare for Mall Tour 2009.
23 Jan-3 FebMoving to support 404: Barhah Not Found, the OBR helped hold onto the Merson NT. Despite growing zed numbers in the area, break-ins were few. After many nights of Twister and parties in Merson, survivors got bored and gradually moved out. The Merson NT fell back into disrepair a few days later.
14 JanThe Order of the Black Rose moved to reinforce Breach of Peace and The Randoms who had recently re-taken the Merson NT in Grigg Heights. After the first day, the quickly rising number of zeds on the scene verified that both Rot From The Moors and Lebende Tote were present to lay siege to any TRPs in the area that survivors wished to lay claim to. Survivors batten down the hatches.
