"We break your legs so you don't have to."
Company History
Detulux Incorporated is a thoroughly legal and law-abiding business that deals in everything. Founded by Mr. S. Pain, the company has went from strength-to-strength and now holds shares in many major conglomerates internationally. Any rumours of arms smuggling or weapons storage on our part are all unfounded, baseless lies, and Mr. Pain holds no interest in collecting or storing weaponry in any way shape or form (honest), as proven by the court case a few years ago in which he was found "not guilty". Any rumours that the judge and jury were bribed are also unfounded, baseless lies, and the fact that many of the accusers have turned up dead is just one huge coincidence.
The Current Situation
For the purposes of libel, the term "merchandise" in this article has been substituted for the word "weaponry", as have several four-lettered profanities with the word "pony". Mr Pain and several Detulux head-honchos came to Malton to procure some new experimental merchandise from a rogue Necrotech scientist. Unfortunately, this was during the tentative hours of the first zombie outbreak, and thus when the pony hit the fan the crew from Detulux Incorporated were trapped in Malton by the quarantine order. Now all that matters is surviving the zombie outbreak and getting back to the Detulux compound alive, preferably with all their limbs still attached. And where is their compound, you ask? Paris, France. Pony, it's going to be a long few years.
For a brief spell, Mr. Pain lost his senses and left Malton (claiming to have escaped back to Paris, but really he was lying comatose in a gutter as a zombie for about three months). When he came back he'd found that Stickmaster had moved into his office, but rather than expel energy in regaining leadership he's since discovered that things move a lot more smoothly if someone else organises things, leaving him the hard job of being the company figurehead (i.e. drinking, sleeping, manning the radio with inane chatter).
Our Goal
To have a damn good time, drink beer, eat pie, and keep Kempsterbank a safe, Outer Haven for fun lovers. Even for the zombie ones.
Outside of Malton, Detulux Inc dealt with everything. In Malton, however, there are only two things you can dispense: violence, and kindness, so we deal in those. We'll take out zombies, PKers, GKers, and maybe even the odd rogue human element, while protecting and caring for those who wish to make Malton a nicer place to live in.
Secretly, our actual goal is to disarm the nuclear weaponry toting zombie menace. Seriously.

Joining Detulux
See the applications topic at our forum.
If you're crazy enough to want to work for a group fronted by an eccentric British cynical bastard, foolhardy enough to sit in the same building as some of the least serious people in Malton ("apocalypse"? Bah, that‘s just another word for "par-tay"!), or just want to join a group that has a cool slogan (damn straight!) come and see us and chat with our curiosity shoppe of extraordinary people (and we'll try not to break your face). When you join you will be given a free novelty pen*, and a 500 page rulebook on the codes and practices of Detulux Inc, of which you will be completely free to ignore. (*Novelty pen not guaranteed, while very limited stocks last.)
Concerning Zombie Applications
Detulux Inc recognises that there are many individuals who do in fact enjoy being undead, and that several of these people often fight for the human cause. Under the right circumstances, and assuming that Mr. Pain doesn't blow you away on sight, we will in fact recruit zombies. How do you let us know that you'd like to join? Erm...I dunno...gesture a lot. If you can speak, say "BANANA GANGBANG" twice or something. We'll get the picture, and if we don't we'll probably stop shooting to have a good laugh.
It has to be mentioned that in Malton’s perculiar political climate, it is awfully hard to keep a premises for vitally challenged Detulux staff (believe us, we‘ve tried), so undead members do have to make do with living on the street. Sorry.
N.O.O.B.S
What is N.O.O.B.S, you ask? Why it's Detulux Inc’s Newbie Order Ordaining Beginner System (patent-pending)! New to Urban Dead? Detulux Inc happily devotes time to helping newcomers to levelling up by assisting with revives and information. Unlike other groups however, we do not provide a formal training program to level up by. Rather, we prefer "in-the-field" experience, a free-form programme if you will...in that we don't actually do much in terms of directly influencing your levelling up. At the most, we'll make sure at least one Detulux building is at very strongly barricaded at all times, and we'll try to make sure at least one of us has a revive syringe and the AP needed to revive handy. That's how N.O.O.B.S works. *Sighs*
All newbies are advised to check the bulletin board near the bottom of this page for useful links. And make sure to add all the staff at the bottom of this page to your contacts list! The last thing we need is staff shooting at zombies without realising that they're actually shooting at other staff members!
D.R.O.S.S
Detulux Inc provides an irregular broadcasting service to Kempsterbank, and as such we require fresh intel on a daily basis, which is where the Detulux Radio Official Scouting Squad (or D.R.O.S.S) comes in. We need committed individuals with a talent for keeping tabs on local zombie movements. If you fancy yourself a scout and wish to sign up, report to the D.R.O.S.S Commander Psi Baka Onna either in person or via the forum. Regular duties as a member of D.R.O.S.S include posting zombie tracking reports.
Spreading the Word
Detulux Inc doesn't actively encourage staff to try and shanghai civilians on the street into joining our company like zealous cultists (much), however we do recognise that there is only one way to enlarge our influence in Malton and that is through word-of-mouth and graffiti tagging. Both of these are endorsed by Mr. Pain, but he would like for any tags advertising the company to not be overwritten over tags advertising other groups; in the past he has negotiated for groups to not spray over our tags, and so he would like to practise what he preaches (for a change).
The Official Recruitment Posters are alternatives to simply tagging "Join Detulux Inc", and make for fine conversation pieces for your living room too.

Base of Operations
The two warehouses at [55,75] in Kempsterbank act as our permanent base of operations. These buildings are ideal, as they are adjacent to several resource buildings and are near Pole Mall. These buildings are kept at EHB (Extremely Heavily Barricaded) in accordance with the Kempsterbank Barricade Plan. As such, staff members without free running will have to make themselves comfortable at the nearby Junk Yard or one of the resource buildings next door to the warehouses, and shall have to consider themselves on sentry duty (consider it an incentive to learn the free running skill early, so you can come inside to the nice warm warehouses).
As far as visitors and passers-by are concerned, these buildings are of course still public domain, although we stress that a no-PKing/no-GKing policy will be enforced by any members of the Detulux staff, and visitors breaking this policy will be shot and asked to leave the facility (in that order).
Zombie staff members are free to do as they please, wandering the area and feasting on various feral zombies. A free lunch! What more could you want?
Detulux Staff Revive Point
We have established a revive point in Tyack Plaza, 1 square Northwest of our warehouse. If you need a revive then request one. Staff and allies will get priority. Please remember to post your profile in your request, if we can't ID you then we won't revive you. You can try requesting a revive by mrhing repeatedly while we're busy pumping someone else full of the glowey green stuff, but we're probably more likely to laugh in your face and run away.
Detulux Free Radio
We operate from frequency 27.55, sharing with the Knights Templar and Dr Steel's Toy Soldiers, aiming to provide a daily update as to zombie levels in Kepmsterbank. This broadcast is operated on a *W.W.D.W.F.L.I basis, and as such positions on the /D.R.O.S.S/ scouting team are always open. Sign up now and help Kempsterbank be just a little bit safer!
What does 'Detulux' mean?
The hell if we know. Sounds cool though, doesn't it?
Diplomacy
Originally handled by Unema, Minister of Explosives, but due to him often going AWOL thanks to bad internet connections or otherwise, the new management is electing the new second in command, Magnus Keel, to take the reigns here. For the best really, neither the boss(es) nor Unema can be considered "people persons". But now, ever since Magnus Keel has decided to go AWOL as well, Stickmaster has to take care and become everything. But CoolToadz could be counted as well.
Acts of diplomacy can be arranged face to face in game or on the forums.
Policies
|
We promote the sacred ground policy so we consider all cemeteries to be revive points. Although the majority of our company do have itchy trigger fingers so it may be a strain for them to remember where they are before they make with the "bang bang shootyness".
 This user or group supports the Random Revive Policy |
On the occasion where we do combat revive (may it be by accident or otherwise) Psi suggests that you punch whoever did the reviving in the nose and run to the nearest tall building or zombie horde and thanks you for not undergoing any unnecessary violence... aside from the nose punching, ofcourse.
|
We also promote equal opportunity, because zeds have feelings too (apparently). We don't offer much in zombie accommodation due to restrictions from the UBP (Uniform Barricading Policy).
|
We believe that resource buildings should be available to all survivors, even those yet to learn free running. Also putting this policy here highlights our intentions to follow the plan in our new suburb, as we agreed with Knights Templar.
Marks
This is where we list the rogues known to us or our allies. Show them no quarter!
Known PKers
- A Big Saint Bernard - Pain isn't fond of dogs as it is (he's a cat lover), but when a dog walks in and shoots you it's just begging to be neutered. We have evidence of it PKing, too.
- Osama bin ladin - On general principle. Can't have a major terrorist of the free world running around now, can we?
- Eugene Carosine - The Warehouse Killer. He is definitely not welcome around our parts (considering the Detulux Compound consists of mainly warehouses, if you catch my drift).
- Pathetic Bill - 'He' is not welcome around our parts, ever.
- alagar30 - I really don't know much about him except the fact that he kills while he travels from place to place. So we put a .22 slug into his eye and he's been around since.
- Castilla la Nueva - He's a real mean @#!*% who I bet still has a major thing against us after being killed a few times by Stickmaster (Accident! Honest!)
- Logan Mortis - he's part of the Browncoats and I'm really not sure if we want a full out war with them. Though, if he's @#!*% us off we'll crack his skull a few times.
- Dr Summeroff - part of the "March into the sea" group. To be honest, we don't care whether or not they really want to march into the sea, just as long as they drown doing it.
- Steve Frnch - Ever since we took our first few pot shots at each other, we've been at war ever since. Though we still enjoy surgically removing his face with some buckshot.
Known Gkers
- Seto Itchitaka - On advice from the Knights Templar.
People We Just Don't Like
- THIS SPACE FOR RENT.
Ex-Marks
This is a section for those we have either enacted revenge on, who we have falsely accused or have now resolved our problems with. Once in this section they are considered free men/women/zombies and are welcome in the Detulux Inc Compound.
- Vigeous - Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer. Saying that, he was never an enemy as such, he just operated in a way that was a conflict of interests. Let it be said that Detulux does not hold on to grudges. Same might as well apply to DreadheadDead, too.
- bIurredbrain2 - We broke bread with the Angels of Mercy, so we can't kill him now.
- Tony Blair - Tony Blair is no longer PM, so he's free to go. Still want to punch him on the nose though. Now, where's Gordon Brown?
- Osama W Bush - Despite being a blight on the human gene pool Osama W Bush is not a Pker and is not listed on the Rogue's Gallery and thus is free to walk about the place without being shot at. Yes, he's not a pretty sight.
- IronMikeTyson - Malton Zoo can worry about him from now on.

Pain: The Detailed Explanation - I can see where they're coming from, if there are entire suburbs of survivors who constantly hunt down PKers, why can't there be a suburb for PKers who constantly hunt down innocent survivors? It's basically an Outer Heaven situation, and to all non-Metal Gear Solid fans this basically means that Shearbank is now a haven for those who like to shoot other survivors. I don't mind that part, what I do mind is when people get so uppity and pretentious that they go so far to say, and I quote, "We live in a different world than you!", unquote. Goddamn, I get the point, you like to shoot other survivors because shooting zombies is below you, but there's no need to pretend it makes you a higher power or something. It's only a game, people, and it's one that is impossible to win. So yes, if you live in Shearbank and are a member of DARIS, blame Headless Gunner for making us put you in this section, because he makes you all sound like trenchcoaters. Miscellaneous
