- New conversations should be started at the bottom using a level two header (e.g.
==Header==). Or with the + - I like to keep conversations wherever they start, but if a conversation ends up here, I will keep it here.
- I will format comments for stylistic reasons, delete comments for whatever reason, and generally do anything else within reason.
Zerg Impersonation
Hey, will keep an eye out for the Aichon zerg. I'm just surprised you hadn't created a throwaway character with the Aichon name ages ago — leaving yourself open to a jebbush.com moment. Bob Moncrief EBD•W! 19:55, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
- I thought about it years ago, but just decided it wasn't worth it. Despite anything going on now, I still don't think it would have been worth my time to create the account. I kinda get a laugh out of the fact that anyone else got worked up enough by me to go and actually do it. Not to mention that they didn't even get the wiki's name correct. —Aichon— 22:00, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
Re: Zerging Baz Baziah
Good evening. I have been playing Urban Dead since July 2007 with my one and only character Baz Baziah [1]. since 2008 I have been a member of the Department of Emergency Management group [2] within the sub group of the Malton Forensic Unit [3] and lately as a Malton Marshal within the DEM -a role that as you are most likely aware aimed at reducing PK'ing and Zerging within the game. Furthermore I am also a member of the DEM counsel [4] and liaison for the Malton Marshals.
So, after introducing myself and giving you a potted history of my time playing Urban dead, I come to the reason for my post here. Earlier tonight (25th Feb 16) you and several of your Zombie assistants killed myself and several others (including another DEM player)inside of Wadham cinema [39,54] on the pretext that I was a known Zerger "POS" and the people inside the cinema with me are also part of my Zerging group. Can I ask where this evidence comes from against me and the other players and can you back it up? I have only EVER played this one character, although my Son plays another character from his own laptop via our home network and I have several friends who also play the game, and oppose all acts of PKing, Zerging and destroying the game for other players.
I await your reply.

- Jim, I'm afraid this is a case of identity theft. You can find a discussion about this particular case over at PatheticBill's talk page, where it was briefly discussed. I've also done some quick documentation of the issue over at my Characters page.
- As you, I've been playing the game for a number of years, since 2009 in my case. I've led the Soldiers of Crossman, am on the leadership council of the Philosophe Knights, helped lead strike teams for the MOB, was one of the people in charge of Big Bashes 3 and 4, and have faithfully served both as a sysop and active member of the community here on the wiki. While you and I may disagree a bit about the role of PKing in Malton (I view it as an accepted and enjoyable activity, though I personally only engage in it on my dedicated PKer character), we are very much so on the same side when it comes to zerging or other forms of cheating that are contrary to the rules posted by Kevan (I even had a peer reviewed suggestion back in 2009 that was designed to eliminate unintentional cheating), so I am very sorry that this zerger has caused you trouble while using my name.
- Suffice to say, I have no grievance with you. If anything, I'd be interested in coordinating with you on keeping a bead on him. The last I saw of him was about a week ago in the Caiger area. He's been attacking the SoC's home suburb (Darvall Heights) for the last few weeks, as well as posting graffiti aimed at me and the SoC, accusing us of zerging and other things. That's his standard modus operandi, I'm afraid, so I've come to expect it when he's around, but I haven't seen him for about a week now, so this is the first I've heard that he's still active and in the area. To say the least, feel free to deal with him as you see fit.
- And, once again, I apologize for any inconvenience he's causing you. —Aichon— 22:32, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry for going off like a firecracker at you.
- Last year I and the members of the "Galbraith Hills Police Department" group had a run in with the fools of "The Jack Yocum" after we waged a campaign to rid Shore & Galbraith Hills of there Zerging/PKing actions. This was a huge mistake which resulted in myself and the GHPD team being killed time and time again -sometimes as much as three times in one 24 hour period for me, by one of the 80 odd Zergs. The final straw came as all but one of the GHPD and my Baz character getting banned from the game for being repeated Griefers and Zergs of "Baz Baziah". This resulted in me dropping out of the game for several months hoping that this would blow over and JY would have forgotten about me and moved off. It appears I was wrong, as within 72 hours of standing back up I was once again subject to a targeted attack!
- Do you have any details or can you point me in the direction of details on this JY clone group? I have a list of around 75 of them, who strangly go inactive and active within minutes of each other. Any ideas who it was that banned the GHPD account and can appeal to them, trying to mail Kevan met with an "I'm not really interested, create a new account" kind of reply which was no help!
- Perhaps we can work together to try and stop "Aichon" but I think 2 players with 1 Character apiece v a Zerg who can create as many clones as they need, we are not going to get very far.

- No worries! I understand the frustration.

- In terms of appeals, I'm afraid Kevan is the one and only place you can appeal to. If you haven't been able to get through to him, I'm afraid I don't know of any alternatives.
- As far as details about the zerg "group" go, I'm afraid I don't know much. As I said, the last I saw of him was over a week ago, so your report of seeing him in Shore Hills is the most up-to-date intel I have regarding him. That said, quite a few people read anything that's said on this talk page, so if any of them have information regarding his current location, I hope that they'll chime in. *hint hint all of you lurkers out there*
- And yes, I agree that we won't get far when it comes to working by ourselves. Really, my goal is to restore our power to choose how we deal with him, whether through direct confrontation or avoidance. We can't do that unless we know where he is, however, hence my comment. Hopefully that makes a little better sense, but basically, I don't want a zerger dictating how anyone plays the game, and if we know where he is, it restores our ability to choose how we play. —Aichon— 16:42, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
- Try looking at Bale Mall in Yagoton. There is a group claiming to be Jack Yocum that has "taken over" and is targeting the "zergs" of Nation Library with the usual wild accusations and random targeting. They seem to be very susceptible to the common UD illusion that anyone with a common goal and some competence must be a zerg, which is ironic. There also seems to be a hall of mirrors effect as there was an anti(?) Yocum group called The Jack Yocum for a while as I recall? (For history, seek out the information about the Alpha Dogs on Resensitized, also a part of this whole demented affair, as is, I believe, the Goth Store Drama and "that one guy who threatened to sue Kevan.") --Ginormous (talk) 21:06, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
As an FYI to anyone reading, Crossman Grove PD in Darvall Heights got hit by 13 zombies all of a sudden today, and I just noticed some graffiti saying, "Seekandyeshallfind/DrJackson=Fake PKnights=ZERG". Given that DrJackson is a well known zerg hunter (and that I suspect he was recently in the area since I saw some Philosophe Knight graffiti around recently as well), it seems likely that the zergs are back up in Darvall, engaging in their strange smear campaign. —Aichon— 21:24, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
You are my favourite Urban Dead Wikipedia Sysop.
Thought you should know. --RosslessnessWant to complete a dangerous mission? 23:18, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
- I cracked up when I saw that he couldn't even get the wiki's name right while trying to impersonate me. Who calls it "Urban Dead Wikipedia"? *facepalm* At least impersonate me right, Mr. Zerger who will likely read this page at some point, if you're going to do it at all! —Aichon— 23:22, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
