Who We Are
Summary
The Department of Homeland Security is the main horde group of the Ridleybank Resistance Front and forms the bulk of RRF forces. Initially committed to the defence of the Greater Ridleybank region, the group was expanded and merged with the Wrecking Ball in order to create a single massive army of zombies to not only defend but also to attack. Now no survivor, no stronghold and no suburb in Malton is safe from the Department of Homeland Security.
Creation of The Department of Homeland Security
In early November a defensive gap began to appear, as both groups began to to be simultaneously engaged further and further away from Ridleybank, which also created problems for new, inexperienced members who struggled to keep up with the horde.
In response, the Department of Homeland Security was created. Initially formed as a small group of dedicated defenders, the role of the DoHS soon expanded into that of a training program - wherein new, inexperienced members could be guided by the senior DoHS members in attacks on survivors in Ridleybank, through identifying and softening potential targets.
While the Department's primary responsibility is to the homeland, it has a secondary responsibility to the new zambahz within our horde. As the DoHS is grounded firmly within the area of Ridleybank, it provides a perfect opportunity for low level zombies to develop their skills under the guidance and assistance of their higher level zethren. The DoHS is the perfect place for a young zambah to grow, especially with the addition of its own strike team.
Organization
We are currently coordinating our efforts on the barhah forums; check there for the latest barricade reports and sightings of trespassers.
We also have the channel #rrf-ud on the IRC server irc.nexuswar.com, which is open to all Urban Dead players. Our players are on there regularly, feel free to drop by for a chat.
Created and led by Gus Thomas and ZoeyZarg respectively, Team America (fuck yeah!) is a strike team within the DoHS. It was created simply because there were no strike teams suitable for players in EST/PST/MST time-zones, and with the increasing numbers of babas joining the DoHS, levelling them up was becoming an increasing problem. It's fast, effective, and deadly, and is a prominent presence on IRC. Partially because its member have nothing better to do, but mostly because they're a sociable bunch who get on well. If you're an American Zambah player, check out their forum or the irc channel and get a feel for what they do... it's the fastest way to level up and it's a lot of fun.
Current Activities and Orders
Standing Orders
- Anyone wanting to join the DoHS is asked either to contact Gus Thomas directly on the barhah forums, or to sign up on the Roster Thread with their character name and profile link.
- At the moment we are on tour with the rest of the RRF for the Ridleybank Crusade. Whilst we were gone on Excursion III, harmanz have occupied the Homeland. Our Papa declared a Call to Arms for all zambah kind to retake our Home. Check the forums for our latest action.
Notices
- All members of the RRF should put 'Ridleybank Resistance Front' in the Group field of their profiles. 'RRF' is not acceptable, as there are a number of groups using that acronym now. The new change to Feeding Groan makes this a necessity for all members.
- There is to be no 'alt usage' within the borders of Ridleybank. If you have a zombie in the RRF horde abroad you must not have a zombie alt within Ridleybank helping out the DoHS as a feral. No intel can be accepted from zombies who are not members of the Front. You must not gather information if you are combat-revived.
