2. Post all comments in correct English. This means real English, not the bastardised forms from the colonies.

3. You will use correct grammar.

4. No member of the Administration team is to post here. The only exception is a post whilst performing a sysop only action. Any sysop posting here, and the comments they make, are considered to be an official act relating to their duties as a sysop. Posting outside of these parameters will result in a misconduct case.

If you are here to bitch and whine that I've removed your ad from the Recruitment page, don't bother posting at all. Instead, go here and report me as a vandal. If you are too stupid to work out why I've removed your ad, I really don't want to hear anything from you.

Apology

It may have come to your attention that I have recently killed your character, Damon Young. I wish to apologize for that, since I didn't do it willingly. Rather, I was ordered to do so by SoldierUDW. Until this point, I had no idea of your previous "argument" with Soldier. Please do not think that I have been deceived into thinking that you have been acting aggressively towards Soldier. I have seen the messages he wrote, and I find them incredibly offending and uncalled for. So, I besides from apologizing for the error I made, I'd like to give you an unofficial apology on behalf of SZES (or, better said, ZEMA)

P.S: I am no longer part of ZEMA, but I thought you deserved an apolgy anyway.

A reminder

Oh your the f*%#*@# retard Iscarret! Your the one who probably hates "Americans", people keeps telling you they are going to report you to the administrations because of thie insults you gave them. You're the moron, you're the dumb ass, you are even more insane than SillyLillyPilly. This is why nobody woulden't even trust you on this shit because you use your job to attack other users. No duh.

How about you like it if you tasted your own medicine, like the bullshit you gave to other users?

-- Soldier UDW ^{Mai Talk} 23:43, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

You'd think that if you'd watched the Youtube video that's linked on my userpage you'd know that I despise dumb colonials like yourself. I'm insane, am I? Quite possibly, but I can take anti-psychotics, there are no anti-stupid pills, which means you're screwed. By all means, carry on your impotent little rants and ingame activities, they amuse myself and the rest of the audience to the your car crash wiki existence. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 23:51, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

This is lol. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 16:36, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Back Off

Do not F*&@% with me Iscariot, I' am warning you. I' am not retarted like what everyone saids and the harrassing has got to stop, so you shut your f*&%@#% mouth shut about whatever I' am doing. Its not your bussiness, so back off or I will stockpile shit on your talk page like you did to me (if you ever did).

-- Soldier UDW 19:57, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

HAHAHAHAHA I'd be careful, Iscariot, or he might report you for "harrasment" like he's going to do to me. --Pestolence^(talk) 19:59, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

1. Learn to follow page rules. New sections go at the top of my talk pages.
2. I removed your right to comment in my user spaces a while back. The only reason that your post was not instantly deleted was because Pestolence replied to it.
3. You are retarded.
4. Feel free to bring whatever cases and 'shit' you like against me. I've griefed people off this wiki and out of the game before, you and your zerg army won't be difficult to deal with.

Hugs, kisses and fluffy puppies,

-- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 20:06, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Oops, sorry about that. Go ahead and delete it if you want, Iscariot. But before you do, I think I should let you know that not only are you a psychopath, you're also a hypnotist who forced Janus Abernathy to leave his "group." You evil, evil man. :D --Pestolence^(talk) 20:15, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

None of that was in response to you dude, the numbers automatically indent, so it may look that way. Yeah, I've seen the latest episode of my new favourite show, apparently all my evil plans are being unravelled. I'll have to hide away in my secret volcano base, twiddle my moustache and stroke my token evil villain cat and think of a new nefarious plot. Have you noticed that Janus is more conversant in his second language than moron boy is in what's supposed to be the language of his country? I wonder if he's seen the link on my userpage.... -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 20:21, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

And by the way, he's at 21 health in the Piggott Building. Just FYI. --Pestolence^(talk) 20:18, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

So I've just seen, he killed my Knight this morning. I'm already back. I have other things in mind for him though. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 20:21, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Hey there. I just wanted to say a few things (yeah, I'm talking a lot today..):

-I'm sorry for all this drama I contributed to make.

-Iscariot didn't force me and the AZS to leave the ZEMA; he actually gave me lots of good advices.

-I'm feeling very sorry for Cortez right now.

-I happen to be.. a female. Maybe I should have said that before. Sorry about this too :(

--Janus ^talk 21:03, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

You didn't cause this drama, and we're glad you saw sense and got out of that organisation. Plus the drama is really amusing, we have to make our own fun round here.

Also I know you don't mean your apology, you're only making it because I'm forcing you to telepathically, my psychic powers are irresistible. The link in my sig should be to the Psi Corps, not the Gore Corps ;)

I also feel sorry for Cortez, but with the wonders of the contributions list, we should be able to save others from his idiotic influence.

You can't be female, we all know there are no girls on the internet ;P I'm actually a great admirer of Italian women, mainly due to this hottie. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 23:59, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Well, it looks like Soldier is in a wiki-coma due to us psychos "sueing his ass." Hopefully he'll stay gone for good. (although I was starting to have fun with him).

And by the way, not all of us Americans are dumb. We just have more than our fair share of idiots over here, along with highly visible morons like Soldier who perpetuate the stereotype. :) It's guys like him who make me want to join the Philosophe Knights. --Pestolence^(talk) 03:33, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Oh well, shame he wouldn't learn. Have you watched the youtube video that Iscariot has on his page, Pestolence? At the end it says pretty much the same thing as you. :P - User:Whitehouse 04:03, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Oh, I saw that Cortez is safe (luckily). He probably got scared about all the mess on the talk pages..

Soldier's in wiki coma, thanks to Iscariot's psychic powers; I wonder what's going to become of the ZEMA, now that his leader and Omega have resigned. Oh well.

Cristina Scabbia is quite beautiful ;) --Janus ^talk 20:43, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, Recruitment page

Hey there. I'm not here to bitch :) I understand why you removed the AZS ad from the recruitment page.. but I don't get why you removed the ZEMA and kept the SZES one. AZS and SZES are both "subgroups" so shouldn't we keep the ZEMA ad? (I apologies for my bad english. I happen to be italian and a bad student) --Janus ^talk 14:07, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

The enforcement of the large groups rule on the Recruitment page is based on established precedent (i.e. the way we've done things before). When a group that is deemed a large group has multiple ads on the page priority goes to the ad with the oldest valid timestamp, i.e. the valid ad that was there first. For instance, if the RRF puts up ads for the Gore Corps, the main RRF and AU10 (in that order), providing the timestamp on all three was valid I'd remove the main RRF and the AU10 ones, even though the remaining ad (the GC) is a sub group of the main group because that advert was first. The precedent is based on ad cycling efficiency and the notion that large groups are entitled to solely advertise their sub groups should they wish. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 14:25, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

I see about the timestamps. I don't understand your last sentence though (yes, I'm dense); does it mean we can put back the ZEMA ad and write the AZS an SZES links in it? --Janus ^talk 14:43, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

If you put the ZEMA ad back in it will be removed as it currently breaks the Format Guidelines. If the ad is brought back into line with these guidelines, there is no prohibition to mentioning or linking other groups, sub groups or strike teams within a group ad. Simply put you can have "ZEMA is an alliance consisting of the AZS and SZES." in your ad, but the ZEMA ad must still conform to the other page guidelines. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 14:50, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Oh, I didn't know it was breaking the Format Guidelines. Thanks, I'll fix it. --Janus ^talk 14:55, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

If you want my advice, you'll take your group and get as far away from this idiot as you can. Retarded stuff like placing Hagnat on his group's KOS list after he tried to help him out or putting sysops on the same list for doing their job is so retarded that he might need medical treatment. This policy of his caused myself and several other players that have seen it great hilarity. For the record I could probably go edit every single one of ZEMA's pages and there's nothing he could do to me. It's this kind of posturing, stupidity and disregard for that is going to get your group attacked and your personal reputation in this game tarnished by association.

It's not often that Sonny and I agree, but his conduct is very reminiscent of another wiki contributer. That situation ended with the Invasion_of_Gibsonton. Basically a group annoyed Sonny, he took DORIS and it took him less than a week to wipe this group out, the only reason that conflict lasted longer was because better more experienced groups got involved. The Imperium was many times the size of your collective alliance and they lasted a week. A sub conflict of this event was the Philosophe Knights against the Necroinquisition. Soldier boy has it listed on your pages that you are at war with the Philosophe Knights, be glad the Order hasn't noticed you. It took us three days to wipe out the Necroinquisition, and we don't mean kill so they had to wait for a revive, we mean kill continuously so those players left the game.

If you don't want a similar situation to occur with your groups you really need to get away from him, or stop him speaking and acting for your alliance. Edits like this where he demonstrates that he can't differentiate between a person's characters and their routine maintenence as a wiki citizen are going to get you a lot of grief. He seems to fail to realise that just because someone's character kills other characters does not mean they act exclusively for that character when they are perform tasks on the wiki. That and his actions at adding a pacifist, then level 5, pro survivor to your KOS because he was 'involved in player killing', even though that character has done more for the survivor cause than your entire alliance is simply pathetic. He's a coward, a moron and an idiot. If you want to play this game and gain any sort of respect you need to do something about him. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 15:28, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

I've.. already tried to tell him about this. I'll talk to my group and try to make him see that he's not doing very good. Thanks for the advices. --Janus ^talk 16:00, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I forgot to ask. The ZEMA ad's problem is only the amount of words, right? --Janus ^talk 15:21, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

That was the problem that got it removed. I don't know if it breaks any others as well because I don't have a link to it. If it does break any others it will be removed again. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 15:28, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

To avoid Soldier putting you (or your survivor character..) on the Psychopaths list again, can I ask you what was wrong with the ad? There were 180 words more or less; did it have another problem? --Janus ^talk 22:30, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

He took me off? I doubt it. I put the text into my word program, it told me two hundred words before I put the text under the image in, over two hundred and it goes. The word limit includes all words in the ad, including links, picture commentaries and everything else except your header and signature. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 22:38, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Damn picture commentaries. 199 words now, putting the ad back. I didn't see your name on the list; Drawde and Hagnat are still there though, with no profile links.. --Janus ^talk 22:51, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

196 by my count, but no timestamp, put one on or it'll go on the next purge. He's got my characters Cliff Spab, Cloister the Stupid and Damon Young on there. There's no point in removing any of them if you're going to leave things like a declaration of war against the Order or other Knights on there, also leaving Saromu up there is just as bad. My advice, wipe all the KOS lists he's done, including the SZES one and institute a clear rules system for addition and removal from the list i.e. proof using screenshot of any PK, displayed next to the entry. Looking at the rules of the Rogues Gallery might help you here. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 23:03, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I put the timestamp. Yeah, we usually post a screenshot along with the pker/gker's name&ID in the AZS page. I'd remove the ZEMA and SZES KOS lists but then I'm worried I'd be reported as a psychopath, so I'll tell Soldier first.. --Janus ^talk 23:16, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Just wanted to say that the AZS are not part of the ZEMA anymore, so I'm putting back our ad in the Recruitment Page. --Janus ^talk 12:42, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Hey man I've waited and waited I've asked nicely for all sorts of help from you. I can't even get you to reply to my questions any more. Well here's what's gonna happen over on the recruitment page. I'm gonna write up the policy I like then I'm gonna get it voted through with every person I can possibly get to vote. You might want to help me write it because if you don't your buddies over at the Pk knights might end having to advertise in only 1 section of the wiki like everyone else. So once again. PLEASE HELP ME COME UP WITH A POLCIY FOR THE RECRUITMENT PAGE THAT DOESN"T DISCRIMINATE AGAINST THE DEM or don't and we'll just leave you out of it entirely--Kristi of the Dead 00:31, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Recruitment isn't subject to A/PD, it's change by discussion.--Karek^maps?! 00:33, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

I have no idea what you're talking about. Reason #32 why the the ud wiki sucks? Obscure rules and pages that nobody understands except the people who are or have been in charge.--Kristi of the Dead 03:36, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

For the second time this week I've managed to get on a computer with net access for five minutes. Did you not think to look at my contributions Kristi? I haven't been on because my internets are broken. I hardly have time to go through this now, when I get back we can continue our discussions. Karek is entirely wrong, if a policy passes by community vote then its subject becomes covered by it, and if anyone then acts contrary to it then their edits are vandalism, a sysop not realising this should be misconduct - but good luck getting that through the circle jerk club.

I don't give two shits for your contributions you've been unhelpful, ignorant and generally combative through this entire process. You're useless and I'm tired of dealing with useless wiki people who have an axe to grind against my group. How about we log on a bunch of DEM members and see how bad we can screw with the philosophe knights...just cause we can? You're ignorance of the system is evidenced by Karek as I feel he has way more insight in the system than you have. Get a better connection or leave the page for someone that wants to actually do something.--Kristi of the Dead 03:08, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Karek, you are well aware of the rules of this page, the only reason your contribution was not removed is because Kristi responded to it. I take your response, given its complete arrogance and incorrectness, to be a poor attempt at trolling. The same type of trollling you warned Nubis and Conndraka against over on Arbitration. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 10:28, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Actually it was about clarification. The recruitment page is like Talk:Suggestions in it's creation and maintenance. It means that if a consensus can be reached the rules of the page get changed, that's all there is to it and making a policy page for it is needless excess at the very least. Basically you all need to reach an agreement as to how the page is to be maintained, not pass the buck off because you don't get along.--Karek^maps?! 18:14, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Is it true Karek that I could just say fuck iscariot and have a bunch of DEM members come and change things how we want?--Kristi of the Dead 03:08, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Hey.

Any chance of buckling to pressure and re-voting on the talking to oneself suggestion? It looks like its going to fail to reach peer reviewed by one vote. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 09:59, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Unfortunately not. I had a valid justification on there, and then received an escalation when even Gnome admits he didn't strike my vote in the manner specified to make it a sysop strikeout. Coupled with the votes that have yet to be struck on this suggestion, including such gems as "MAH SEX IS AHN FIAH!" by one of the sysop team clearly demonstrates sysop bias. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 17:12, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Salt the Land

Just noticed this edit of yours. No biggie for me but what history exactly? Are you claiming old RRF alts don't retire to squat the Blackmore anymore? I know from talking to Murray that RRF doesn't support Salt the Land as such except in Ridleybank of course so I'm just curious as to your reasoning.--Zeug 04:08, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Simple history. That sentence implied that it had always been the focus of the RRF's hold on Ridleybank. The focus was Moggridge PD back when Petro founded the Front. The Gray Guard retire there, not Blackmore. The only reason that Blackmore sees so much action in the 'bank is due to survivors constantly focussing on it, see tomorrow's stupidity. Because of the harmans' focus on this, the Praetorian Guard are forced to spend time there, not due to any orriding policy or tactical bias.

Only Moggridge holds special significance, Blackmore is just another building. It's just the most popular location for idiots to organise themselves into buffets though. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 13:24, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

If I may ask

Why do you insist on splitting hairs to the degree that you do? This is a serious question. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 10:30, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Enforceable precedent is the only thing that can guarantee consistent and fair treatment to users in this community. Given that the community has rejected the notion of making sysops into moderators time and again, someone has to remind everyone when these statutes are ignored.

The constant interpretation of simple black and white rules and the inability of sysops to vote misconduct on textbook cases is a form of moderation. It is the changing or selective application of these policies without oversight or censure that is an insidious form of moderation. If a policy is wrong it should still be continued to be enforced until it is changed through the established channels. The resistance to this very simple process by the admin team whilst they continue their ways forces normal users to loudly point this out. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 10:41, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

You misunderstand me. I agree with the premise that rules should be adhered to, but the degree to which you take it strikes me as... excessive. I mean, take this example. Does it not seem to you that claiming the difference between using {{s}} and <s> tags as being sufficient to make one legal and the other not is at all a little ridiculous? They both accomplish the same purpose, only in slightly differing visual ways. I don't think you're going to achieve a great deal apart from the loss of your own credibility in the eyes of most (I know you don't care about what most people think, but if you're serious about your goals then you're going to need other people on your side) and - if you insist on challenging rules in such silly little ways - perhaps even your bannage.
I would even go so far as to put it to you that you even lose out to the wording of the rules - there is a clause somewhere (which I can't be bothered finding, but you should know of it given the length of time you've been around) in the guidelines that allows sysops to go against the exact lettering of a rule if it means keeping to its spirit. I don't think any of the things you have accused any sysop of doing in recent times have been in contravention of any rule's spirit. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 10:54, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Normally the aren't different, but because the template specifically states the method that should be used it overrides that. If a sysop can't strike a vote correctly when the template telling them to do so is on the same page, how can the community trust them to be in charge of banning and deletions. Take my example about deletions, both function to remove the content, but because there is clear procedure about what a deletion means that takes precedence.

Credibility on this wiki is not something I'm concerned about frankly given the conduct of those on the administration team. The policy you quote can be found here. The specific section is "Moderators, as trusted users of the wiki, are given the right to make judgment calls and use their best discretion on a case-by-case basis. Should the exact wording of the policies run contrary to a moderator's best good-faith judgment and/or the spirit of the policies, the exact wording may be ignored." There are two immediate problems with this sentence. Firstly the word 'moderators' is still in there. Policy, that users took time to debate and vote on, from February 2007 clearly states that "Each official document ranging from the System Operator Guidelines to the Suggestions page would have any mention of Moderator replaced with System Operator, and Mod replaced with Sysop." Why has this not been done? Twenty months later and this simple maintenance, the raison d'etre of the sysop team has not been done. The second problem is the use of the words 'trusted users', sysops are no longer perceived to be trusted by the community in general, the meta community that is, how many more users do you think we'd have if that was changed?

As for changing the rules, again I don't think it'll allowed to happen by the admin team. Either they'll slander the user to Kevan until he uses his veto or they'll just remove the policy and take (or have someone else) take the author to A/VB. It won't happen and will kill this wiki as a community. It'll become an out of date former resource because the admin team wanted to act like Brainstock mods. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 11:22, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

That's the document that was voted on. Here's the official policy document, which is "moderator" free. --Midianian^|T|DS|C:RCS| 11:28, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

It's still an 'official document' is it not? Then according to the voted policy that should have also been changed. I did have a link to a different example which demonstrated the selectiveness in application of such changes by the admin team, but I appear to have lost it. I'll see if I can find it when I get off this work computer. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 11:44, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

So basically, that whole arbies case is being made because you're "rules lawyering" and because of a rule that technically isn't official in the way that people like it nowadays?-- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 13:44, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Warning

This is an official warning and, as this is a sysop only action, I am entitled to post here to inform you of it. Please do not unstrike your own struck votes from suggestions which have been struck as trolling votes by a sysop. Attempting to avoid this by claiming that it was blanked rather than struck does not distract from the fact that it was clearly a trolling vote that was removed by a sysop. Please do not repeat this behaviour as you may face a ban from the wiki. -- Cheese 22:40, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Yet another case of established guidelines not being followed by sysops. The process of a sysop strike is clearly different from a normal user blanking a vote, although Gnome may be a sysop he did not strike it in the correct manner meaning it cannot count as a sysop strike. It would be like a sysop removing all content from a page after receiving a deletion request and instead just removing all content from the page in question. Although functionally similar, they are demonstratively different in that any user could remove all content from a page (or blank a vote) but only a sysop can delete the page in question (or strike a vote).

Enforcing the written and provable guidelines seems to be some sort of anathema to our current team of sysops. As shown above they instead decide to invent and twist these very simple to understand rules to persecute users that they are displeased with.

Anyway, about the suggestion. Yep it is a nerf to ruin, but i feel its also of benefit to ruin. Care to explain where ive gone wrong? (Please use the word asshat in your response.)--Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 20:10, 8 October 2008 (BST)

As Shatner never said "Ransack is a two faceted skill". The ruin side (the byproduct of ransack, the destroyed building itself) has recently been buffed by the update, and most suggestions recently, including your own seek to modify this in some way. The other facet is the act of getting to this point, the conflict of clearing the building and damaging it. Your suggestion buffs the first facet whilst nerfing the second. It'll mean that zombies will now have to breach the cades, see off the actives, kill the harmans and then spend even more AP to gain the damage. Hordes like MOB or The Second Big Bash are obviously not going to even notice the difference, however the small feral groups of players who happen to be online at the same time and have a good run with the RNG against the cades are really going to notice this and suffer.

It'll increase the possibility of zerging meatshielding (albeit in a tiny proportion) and re-increase mall centric play, which is something I'm against.

The gamespace/realspace comparison I was making is obvious, compare a large 5 star hotel's interior space with that of a back street boozer, in game they both require the same amount of AP even though there is a huge difference in their areas. The notion that malls would require more AP to ransack did not appeal to me for this reason. I understand you needed to demonstrate a 'downside' in order for the suggestion to stand a hope of passing, but I thought you picked the wrong one.

Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad or broken suggestion, it's just one I disagree with, resulting in one of my rare Kill votes rather than a Spam or Dupe. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 20:36, 8 October 2008 (BST)

It was questioning whether or not there was a way of connecting the recruitment page and the group listings for each suburb page.

Recruitment page

Care to comment? - User:Whitehouse 13:40, 9 September 2008 (BST)

Soldier and the Special Zombie Extermination Squad

The Background

It is important to remember when reading this the difference between a player and their individual characters.

I, Iscariot, Patron Saint of Dupes, also maintain the Recruitment page. During routine maintenance I noticed an ad that broke the guidelines. Instead of removing it, as was my right, I decided to inform the owner that they should correct their ad. This user then decided to respond on my talk page with demands. I do not tolerate demands and responded appropriately.

The Continuation

Soldier then decided to respond to his disagreement with myself, the player, by listing one of my characters on his group's enemy and Kill On Sight list. He did not pick my death cultist that actively hurts the survivor cause, he chose to select my Philosophe Knight. For reference my Philosophe Knight is a pacifist, does not harm survivors and is actively moving through the entirety of Malton repairing museums and libraries. Over time he has added a threat rating to the list in question and has listed my character as a 'Moderate' threat. That is on par with characters that have actually killed other survivors and higher than known and respected PKer group SillyLillyPilly.

An Act of Kindness

Instead of resolving the matter ingame with the murder of his entire group by my death cultist, I was forced to respond from the position of my Knight to avoid breaking the spirit of the anti-zerging rule. Accordingly I tried to be diplomatic and posted terms of surrender for Soldier to accept. Not only did he not agree to these terms, but the response he did give breached many of the terms.

Resolution

Based on the subject's continued actions and attitudes, I am forced to allow my Philosophe Knight to judge him, and his group, based on the Articles of Ignorance

The subject is found guilty of the following crimes:

Class A

Slander

Class B

Ignorance

The punishment for such crimes is clear. Repeated education by a Philosophe Knight educator or by an allied group.

The group is found guilty of:

Mass Hindrance

Mass Slander

The punishment for these crimes is also clear, addition to the Enemies of Enlightenment list and education on sight for all members

The Knowledge

The following are known profiles of the criminals:

Soldier

Zombie Hunter Recon

Reporter John

This edit also implies that SZES uses zerging tactics

Their most likely location is The Murtaugh Motel in Penny Heights. They are known to restock in Giddings Mall.

Other locations where they claim as territory are:

Lavor Alley School in Pitneybank

Haydon Auto Repair in Spicer Hills

The Piggott Building in Spicer Hills

They are known to frequent Wasteland 23,97 in Spicer Hills as a revive point.

In Summation

Soldier decided to select a non-combatant character to pick on due to a disagreement with that player's owner. He chose this character even though it is well known he is a pacifist and survivor orientated. By doing this Soldier reveals himself and his group as cowardly.

Soldier refused generous peaceful overtones and responded with hostile acts and words.

Soldier and his group have been judged enemies of enlightenment and will be added to the Philosophe Knight Kill On Sight list. Their names and profiles will be forwarded to all allied groups and organisations that the Philosophe Knights are associated with.

Soldier's right to reply is hereby revoked. He is no longer welcome to post on any page in Iscariot's namespace. Precedent in Vandal Banning shows that an individual posting on another's namespace after specifically being informed that they are unwelcome constitutes an act of vandalism. Any breach will be reported.

When cycling suggestions, do not remove anything from the top, nor the SugVoteBox template from the voting section.

Okay, I forgive. And just for your sake I will not report about you. But under one rule: If you made a threat to my group or any of my allies' groups, I will had to declare war on your group!

Behold everyone, the stupidity of this moron!

He dislikes my response so goes to his group page and lists one of my characters as a 'Psycopath' (evidently English wasn't his best subject in school, nor was using a spell checker).

Did he list my dastardly death cultist, a member of the renowned Gore Corps? No, this idiot decides to list my Philosophe Knight, yes, that would be the same character known to groups all over Malton as someone known for rebuilding Malton and preserving knowledge. It's not like it says on his page that he's a pacifist or anything. Picking on a peaceful librarian, how brave of the mighty Special Zombie Extermination Squad.

It would be wrong of me to use my death cultist to shoot him for his blatant stupidity, that would be zerging. Accordingly I'll have to respond from the view of my Philosophe Knight. He doesn't shoot people, so, what shall I do?

This idiot has 48 hours from the time of this post to write a grovelling and sincere apology and post it on this page. This apology is to be perfect in its spelling and grammar. He is also to remove my listing from his group's page permanently. The place of my listing is to be taken by an apology directed at every reader of his page apologising for his poor spelling and grammar and continued acts of stupidity on this wiki. This apology is to remain in place for three months.

Failure to comply with this benevolent compromise will result in the following action:

1. He and his group shall be added to the Philosophe Knights' enemy list. Every Knight coming across himself or his group will execute on site. Unlike the Rogue's Gallery, there is no way off this list.

2. The names and profiles of his group shall be passed to all Player Killer groups allied with the Philosophe Knights. These groups include the Spartans, Lebende Tote and the Flowers of Disease amongst others. I trust the consequences are obvious.

3. As before, names and profiles will be passed to the PKA so that all member groups can add to their target lists. As various groups are in the middle of two large events, the Malton Uprising and the Player Killer Olympics, this means that idiot boy and his group won't have many hiding places at all.

4. All survivor groups allied with the Philosophe Knights will be asked to restrict aid and contact to this group. Such venerable organisations that would be approached include the Quartly Study Group, The Fortress and the Malton College of Medicine.

I'd advise against 'fighting back'. The last group that tried fighting a PK coalition suffered crushing defeat and humiliation.

It appears that "Cheap Ass Survivors : Pro-Survivor" groups recrutment adverticment is whats causeing it. I would sort it myself but I dont want to change anything incase I make a mistake or incase you need permission to edit peoples recrutments (I dont want to get into any trouble) - this is the reason I came to you.

No error in your browser, we were just looking at the wrong ad.

I'm rushed off my feet with the real world at the moment, so you'll forgive me for not finding the exact links.

Number one (Going on the current 2.0 version on the linked page). This isn't a suggestion, this is several. That's going to get it killed as a suggestion from the start. Anyone who dislikes any aspect of the many things you are trying to implement is going to kill the whole thing on that basis.

The tuning of generators to run longer (with and without a prerequisite skill) has been done before. It was generally shot down due to the massive factor of the AP balance already in favour of survivors. This will get shot down for the same reason and by trenchies who don't want PKers lighting up their Fortresses of Eternal Darkness for longer to shoot them.

Number two (Going on the current suggested version). The notion of using that survivor's DNA is complex, as well as an open opportunity for zergers to have syringe mules specifically for themselves. Having it cure infection is what's going to get this spammed to death though due to the bigger implications. It means infection is no longer a problem, survivors no longer have to expend APs and revives holding malls and hospitals, this will cause an almost game breaking swing in AP balance from the current pro survivor to massively pro survivor. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 19:07, 28 June 2008 (BST)

The intent was for suggestions to be removed once discussion had ceased, the 5 days thing is just to be sure it really is dead, when the author themselves say they have no intention of continuing the discussion the suggestion can and should be removed.--Karek^maps?! 04:33, 27 May 2008 (BST)

Great(!) More rules written one way and then acted on by sysops in a completely different manner. That's just what this wiki needs. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 18:43, 27 May 2008 (BST)

Your Keep on Triangulation

Keep - This is a dupe, but I like innocent bystanders being murdered, so if someone wants to dupe it they can go find the link themselves. -- Iscariot BB2 PK WTE 18:34, 25 May 2008 (BST) - This cracked me up for 2 reasons. (1) it's the second time I've ever seen you vote keep on anything (first time voting keep on something which will actually pass), and (2) the keep reasoning is hilarious :) --Tselita 18:48, 25 May 2008 (BST)

I'm actually waiting someone to whine and take me to A/VB for it. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 18:53, 25 May 2008 (BST)

Not so sure they will - like I said I think this was more about trying to 'get me' than about the structure by which I rsepond to incredibly long winded posts on my user page. --Tselita 19:14, 25 May 2008 (BST)

I meant for the keep vote. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 19:23, 25 May 2008 (BST)

That would be hilarious too. People are way anal about the wiki --Tselita 19:55, 25 May 2008 (BST)

That Crucifix thing

Wow... you've never voted keep on a single idea of mine and even I've never had that sort of animosity towards you. There some underlying history between the two of you, like there is with me and some members of the Malton Globetrotters? --Tselita 18:31, 24 May 2008 (BST)

I tend not to have animosity towards people in general. While I may think certain ideas are bad, it has no bearing on my view of the people making them. However, the hypocrisy of religious dogma gets to me, as do cheating scumbags. That moron is proven to have created alts on the wiki to try and force suggestions through. Accordingly I hope he fucks off and dies. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 18:36, 24 May 2008 (BST)

How did they prove he created them? Just curious, because no one's been able to find out who created the stupid sock puppets that ruined my nailgun suggestion. Which I'm still annoyed about. I'm probably going to be holding off on bringing nailgun v2.0 to a vote until the zombie population rises a bit. Can't really make weapon suggestions when the survivor population is doing better - it's self-defeating. --Tselita 18:47, 25 May 2008 (BST)

Proof here. There are all sorts of screens and buttons that sysops get to check these things. Send your suggestion up, remember PR actually means nothing, Ankle Grab came from rejected. I'd also like to point out the current stats and the lack of whining from 'my side' as opposed to the amount of whining from 'your side' when the situation was reversed. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 18:53, 25 May 2008 (BST)

Not that I'm implying that The Dead are 'your side' but they did quite a bit of kvetching. And there was that whole 'On Strike' thing that I've heard a lot about (though it was long before my time). I do agree that survivors acting like trenchies are far more likely to whine than zombies acting like griefers are likely to whine (again - I'm not calling you a griefer, I'm talking about the extremes on both sides). In any case, it's a moot point. I've been playing zombies lately more than survivors, despite my wiki stance, and I think I know which of my alts I am going to turn PKer. Just need to wait until work eases up a bit so I can have time to post on the forums to get advice. --Tselita 14:33, 29 May 2008 (BST)

Giddings Mall Page

Please stop edit warring and take the issue to Arbitration. I'm leaving the page protected until the case begins so get a move on. This has gone on way too long. -- Cheese 23:38, 17 May 2008 (BST)

Get off your high horse. Just looking into the History, I can see at least 3 occasions of you being involved in the edit warring. I've put the above comment on because you were one of the 3 involved in it, and protected the page to stop the other two going at it when they come back on. Stop moaning. I'm not picking on you. -- Cheese 23:53, 17 May 2008 (BST)

Sorry Sir

Hi Iscariot, sorry about my "impersonation" of you, which, while related to temporary feelings of anger at being called a retard, also had a lot to do with a misunderstanding of site policy and a sudden joyous power trip realization of the kinda crap you can get away with over the internet (that suggestion was my first wiki edit evar!) Anyway, I won't do it again even if you severely piss me off, and I hope there's no hard feelings. See you round the wiki ---Pac8s

BTW, I really like your alternate server idea, although it seems really complex to put into action of course. Do you have resources to do it, or are you talking to anybody about it? Obviously people object to sweeping changes of the existing Malton map, but I agree with you that Urban Dead is really far from feeling in-genre, and I think alternate cities are an excellent solution to that problem. --Pac8s 02:27, 18 May 2008 (BST)

I do not have any resources to do it, computing is witchcraft to me. The development on version 2.0 stopped after it went on the suggestions page for comment. It really needs version 3.0 doing due to the Monroeville lessons, just I can't be bothered. I have another idea for an alternate server, but....can't be arsed. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 18:18, 20 May 2008 (BST)

Moderation

cuntdrama was perma banned as a vandal, that's why his comment was removed. Do not revert. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{[cloned] [mod]} 00:13, 15 May 2008

1. Read the rules of the fucking page, it's not like I put them at the top or anything....
2. Who banned him? And who made the report? And who ruled on that? You better hope I don't find the answer I suspect I'm going to find or you can go ahead and write your next misconduct case yourself. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 00:18, 15 May 2008 (BST)

Are you tripping on shrooms kiddo ? First of all, yeah it was me the one who banned him. His user name was a offensive towards a established user from this community, that alone is reason to ban him. Would you like us to take lightly on a Shitcariot user who were only harrasing every edit you make ? He also posted a goatse picture in the wiki, you think that's good faith ? He even dedicated it to conn. Now... put your gun where your mouth is, or STFU... i dont need an ass threatening me every time i do my job in here. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{[cloned] [mod]} 00:27, 15 May 2008 (BST)

Actually, I think he'd just laugh if somebody named themselves shitcariot. It'd be funny if you asked me. I wish I had a vandal named after me...-- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 00:36, 15 May 2008 (BST)

OOooOO!

Is Santlerville the only burb in Malty with no librarys or museums? Or are you boycotting for some other reason? And why doesn't the tour include schools?--xoxo 12:01, 3 May 2008 (BST)

Unless you can show me otherwise, or I've missed something (possible given the speed with which I made that list) then I believe that Santlerville is the only suburb that doesn't play host to a library or museum. No wonder the population spend most of their time drunk....

I've been meaning to go ask the Beavers for suggestions for an alternative location to visit in order to include Santlerville in the tour.

I deliberately kept schools out due to the nature of the school system and teachers to sour peoples' attitudes to education and self betterment. I still need to get confirmation on the layouts of the mansions, studies and libraries there will also be included, but the wiki seems to be lacking. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 12:08, 3 May 2008 (BST)

Yeah i can't think of one of the top of my head. Us Santlervillians are more the shopping and drinking type, although we are also quite religious and don't like to travel, with only one railway station in the suburb. The Sweatman Motel is a great place to go if you're looking to expand your mind. If you didn't think one person being twenty people was possible, just check the pavement outside The Sweatman, it's mind blowing.--xoxo 13:04, 3 May 2008 (BST)

Recruitment Removal

Hi - I know that yesterday you removed the Deck of 52 recrutment post. I need you to tell me what the date on the time stamp said please because I think I may have made a mistake with timing/schedual for when Im to update the timestamp - can you please get back to me on this and help me out - THANKS in advnace --Feon Kensai 16:28, 2 May 2008 (BST)

Thank you for your time a quick responce - I guess I got my timing wrong LOL (will up date it weekly now) - I promiss this wont happen again and sorry. I have to commend you for your quick action of keeping the recrutment page up to date though ;) - nicly done. Thanks again for your time - you helped a lot (I have a bad memmory). Cya around.

P.S: Sorry I put this subject at the bottom of the talk page :( - I will pay more attention next time --Feon Kensai 13:46, 3 May 2008 (BST)

They're asking questions

Over here, just thought you should know *nods and walks off* --xoxo 08:50, 26 April 2008 (BST)

Yes indeed. It struck me as curious that despite being inactive for two months, you were able to check the PK forum nearly every day. That's why I sent you the private message earlier. (Also because my job as the PK's on-duty librarian is in part to maintain the active member lists and other information in the library reference collection, and I was trying to figure out how to place you.) -- User:VI/signature 00:43, 30 April 2008 (BST)

Ha ha ha! That's hilarious. And to think I've been totally confused all this time. I've seen the sort of window-thing you're talking about before, so I know what you mean. Anyway, sorry about bothering you. Spies are no threat at all to the Knights, but I keep my eyes open regardless, partially because it's fun to find them, and partially because having a the PK riddled with spies would sort of destroy our reputation as mysterious and esoteric. -- User:VI/signature 00:50, 30 April 2008 (BST)

I look forward to it. It seems you have your work quite out out too, what with the state of things these days. Praise Knowledge, as they say. -- User:VI/signature00:57, 30 April 2008 (BST)

Our Talk

Iscariot, I think we should continue our talk in your page instead of in Gab's since it no longer has anything to do with anything he was saying :)

What did you mean by me being a bad luck charm since one of my characters tends to be in the Buttonville area? --Tselita 00:21, 25 April 2008 (BST)

Feel free to move the whole thing over here so it doesn't clutter his page.

You? Bad luck? Have you read the Zombie forecast? -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 00:36, 25 April 2008 (BST)

You said: "Somebody has to speak up for zombies on that page otherwise we'd have survivors in mechs. My 'PKer' doesn't kill anyone, and is actually on a tour to visit and repair buildings... yeah, he helps zombies ....:P

I think you're confusing pure DCing with other things, however you are definitely misunderstanding what I mean by fun! ;) -- Iscariot" Oh I have no problem with you sticking up for zombies. I actually like when you point out dupes for me so that I don't make a fool of myself in Suggestions. And the comment you made about letting zombies use sledgehammers I think got me a few keep votes when I made sure to make it clear that zombies -can- use sledgehammers.

Dupes are easy to point out, just waste some time on the old suggestions. I still don't like that sledgehammer suggestion, but with support like that it's a bit pointless bothering. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 00:36, 25 April 2008 (BST)

I realize that right now I am basically a pro-survivor suggester (although my not enough shotgun suggestion was definitely not pro-survivor), but that's only because I started playing the game right when The Dead started playing so I have a certain view of things. I do try to make my suggestions balanced though... you never see me suggesting mechs or machine guns or flamethrowers, now do you.

There's nothing wrong with being prosurvivor, there's something wrong with being trenchie, you don't want to do that. Go hang out with the classy survivors at Beerhah. You'll notice that the majority also have zombie alts.... -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 00:36, 25 April 2008 (BST)

And if you're a PKer who kills for some actual purpose, rather than wanting to make people who take the game tooooo seriously cry, then I commend you :)

Don't kill people full stop. Complete pacifist, wearing the garb and group tag of one of the oldest and well known PK groups in the city. That's fun. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 00:36, 25 April 2008 (BST)

Actually, my favorite PKer group is Red Rum - I actually have considered making a PKer character and seeing if I could join them. They're one of the few PK groups I've seen who actually look fun.

Convert one of your current survivors, it's hell if you start PKing from level 1. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 00:36, 25 April 2008 (BST)

I just don't find that playing my zombie would be fun if I was being total zombie/Death Cultist, at least while the Dead are on the march. I'd feel like I'm taking advantage of a bunch of cheaters being currently in the game. Even though that wouldn't make me a cheater, i'd feel like one by association. --Tselita 00:21, 25 April 2008 (BST)

Some people, even career zombies, don't like DCing. TBH I only use it as a label for shorthand, I've been working on a philosophy of something very different for a potential new group. Playing a zombie doesn't mean you have to associate with The Dead. I recommend RRF or MOB, I know people in both (as well as a few other hordes) and they'll look after you and make you smile in ways you didn't think possible in this game (see Zoey and I singing and dancing in the middle of a safehouse being destroyed). Once you have a zombie alt, you'll realise where the fun is in this game. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 00:36, 25 April 2008 (BST)

RE:Recruitment

Hey, I'm no longer looking after that page. Had to give it up to deal with real life stuff. It'd be great if you'd be willing to keep it tidy. - W 23:40, 22 April 2008 (BST)

14 days and out is correct. I used to edit out ads that had minor flaws (using <!-- / -->), and I'd delete ads which breached the major rules. Either way works, you should leave a dated comment under the removed ads header explaining what was wrong. If they don't do anything within two weeks of your comment, just remove the header. Good luck. - W 23:53, 22 April 2008 (BST)

Can I pick your mind?

Hey, I was reading on the posts and you seem to know every dupe ever posted so could I question you on those grounds?Gabdewulf 04:39, 21 April 2008 (BST)

A Zombie respawn, basically when a zombie is killed, they stand up somewhere other than where they were killed, has been already been suggested, right?. Do you remember where or when?

Also, walls or other means of limiting travel and zombie's human memories of building names, what kind of suggestions have been brought about these? Gabdewulf 16:44, 21 April 2008 (BST)

My focus is strictly on Malton. I didn't get into Monroeville because it seemed purely temporary.

Yes it was always designed to be temporary.

While, yes, low levels zombies have to spend a sizeable chunk of the current game day standing up, how many days of game play are lost by pro-suriviors when thier killed? A pro-surivior has to stand up, travel to a rp, and wait and hope that someone is reviving. Also with the current state of the city, a great many of the RP are abandoned. As far as time goes, pro-surivior suffer higher penalties for getting back in the action after death even when compared to a zombie being head shotted every single day. Because at the very least, a zombie gets to play thier character every single day.

You don't have to just go be a mrh? cow at a RP, you could scout, move about, decade overcaded buildings.

Also, its been my experience that very few low level zombies worry about the 2ap traveling by zking, unless maybe thier a meat shield, to get the early skills.

2AP to move hurts, a lot. Also ZKing cuts your XP gain in half, and remaining stationery broadcasts your position to trenchies who then headshot you for more AP loss.

Creedy fell cus the zombies focused on the fort, while the defenders focused on the nieghborgood. And, even with the entire neighborhood's buildings being pretty heavily secured, the zombies just strolled past and started the seige on the fort. And this is the agruement for walls/movement and/or removal of bulding names. The repeated pattern seems the mass of zombies skiping into green neighborhoods, destroying the resource buildings with meat shield tactics, and letting lower levels finish the suriviors.

Erm, no. Creedy fell because forts are death traps. The Bash used the same tactics against a mall and were stuck for two weeks. I should know, I was there. Zombies are supposed to go into green suburbs and eat everyone, that's the point of a zombie apocalypse. You are evidently confusing meat shielding tactics with something else, meat shielding is a survivor tactic. Allowing low levels to gain the kill bonus is entirely legal, survivors could do the same if they got organised.

But even with the current numbers of s/z, the survivours are being crowded into a smaller area. The majority of the city is at the red level and kept there by alts so the survivours can't escape. The overcrowding causes survivours search rate to increasingly reduce, which will cause the city to shrink further. What happends when the zombies finish destroying the city? How many players will/have left by then?

What search rates are you on about? Search rates are at the highest they've ever been since I started playing the game. I remember when it took a week to stock up on ammo. I do that now in a day.

And the agruement about zombie player being a minority is that zombie player, when revive, are PKing. When surivours die, they either zombie or are waiting to revive. gabdewulf 22:56, 22 April 2008 (BST)

Yes, your point? Also, not all zombies PK, the major hordes actually have rules against it. There should be a downside to dying as a survivor, otherwise everyone would have instant revives and we'd be playing Urban PK. And how are you having trouble finding a revive? I have The Big Bash in my group heading and have no problems. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 23:11, 22 April 2008 (BST)

I am not going to post anymore on the Bayonet Suggestion. Reading back over everything I think I have been too defensive. So, I came here to say I was sorry. I was incorrect that a "blood groove" assists in the removal of a bayonet from a target. Ok, I was wrong. It is there to reduce the weight of the blade.

Concerning the target list for WTE our scouts have been in certain areas witnessing and takeing survivor evidence of attacks . I ADMIT we have no proof of it being you guys . It has been speculation so far, as you guys are the most organized in this burb. Concerning this and pov, i will try and tone down the messages left on the burb page . But if you'd like to just tell us where you are to confirm our sightings we will gladly bring donuts ,coffee and little tents for when you are sieging buildings .Hope to keep in touch.--Flub 13:31, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

I know. I'm asking this so that we can avoid name calling and accusations for the time being. Could one of you please make an Arby case so that an arbitrator can get this sorted out. -- Cheese 00:20, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

You have been served an Arbitration Case by Happykook. I personally will be willing to arbitrate (if you are willing) as I have a clear knowledge of the case and know the grievances of both sides. -- Cheese 23:59, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

More A/VB

A few points:

1. Sign your posts
2. Present accurate diff comparisons. Skipping revisions in diffs without providing a damned good explaination as to why is extremely deceptive and is usually an attempt to get another person in trouble for impersonation when none has happened.
3. A/VB is not for asking about things. Go to the talk page of another sysop, or the A/VB talk page to make requests, otherwise it will be seen as a charge and dealt with appropriately. --The Grimch ^{U! E! WAT!} 16:59, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

An alternative point of view.

Just reading your comments on siege descriptions.

Shaun of the dead. None to start with, but when david says there was only a couple before you came here, how many are there here now and di says "lots". You CAN hear moaning and some glass breaking.

Also how about in the winchester after Ed wins the jackpot on Ooh Aah Dracula, and you hear all the zombies groaning before they attack, or before they break through into the celler?

28 days later is not a zombie film. Sorry.

Resident evil. Can't hear the zombies inside the red queens control area. An underground bunker, with laser defences, where even the glass walls of the flooded lab let through only a dull thump and are strong enough to hold back the weight of an entire room of water.. Thats a secret base, under the ground. Designed specially to stop outbreaks moving between sections. So I assume soundproof.

Day of the dead. When outside you can hear them. When down a lift, across a car park and into an underground lab. No sound. That isnt the same kind of distance as the otherside of a hastily barricaded door to a mall.

I of course understand your no x ray vision argument and in all honestly its probably a bad time to suggest it 38% zombies and all that. But hey. opinions.--Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 21:11, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

OK, let's see:

SOTD - I'd be putting that down to him just having gotten in with the window still open, how many can you hear when Shaun and Liz are talking things over or when they're talking about Shaun getting them satellite?

28 Days Later - Really? I'd love to hear your explanations for this one, as, not to put too fine a point on it, I know film scholars who disagree with you.

Resident Evil - If it was designed to stop infection spreading, RQ wouldn't have killed everyone in the entire base. Also you can't hear the zombies 'sneak up' on them in the underground walkway until they attack.

Day of The Dead - Exactly, you're outside, if survivors go outside in UD they get the information this gives for free, I have no problem, but the action of going outside costs AP. Also in Dawn they are on the other side of a hastily barricaded door in a mall and can't hear a thing....

Barring us disagreeing on our definition of hastily, a fine reposte sir. Good to see that discussion is still alive.

28 days later is not a zombie film because.

• No one says zombie
• Headshots are not required, see various machete attacks, land mines.
• The infected are not dead. Otherwise why would they starve "to death".
• Its a blood transmitted infection, and spit and vomit. Its seems strange to me that the blood of the infected would be so fresh. Are the hearts still pumping?
• The zombie soldier was knocked out, before being tied up. Ever see a zombie knocked out?
• Look at the corpses in the film. The heros parents, those in the cafe, nothing like the infected who barring their eyes, have a very alive appearance.
• As the taxi driver is infected, he slowly looses control of his actions. Hes not alive, then dead and then back, its a gradual process as the virus takes over his body.
• The infected dont consume flesh, they are only infected with rage, the need to infect others, there is no feeding dynamic. Biting is not key.
• The animal welfare people seeing the monkeys believe them to be fine.
• In the sequel theres a women who has the disease, but appears normal. How can she be dead?
• The Infected? Does that imply dead? Or an active carrier?

Have a present.

	This user is particular about zombie films. 28 days later is not a zombie film.

Now, you can argue its a very zombieish film. But its really a viral outbreak film like quatermass or outbreak. I love monkeys.--Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 22:18, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Oh and do you have the DVD? Look at the alternative storyboard ending. where cillian murphy undergoes a complete blood transfusion with the taxi driver to bring him bank and condemn cillian to the life of an infected. That shows he isnt dead. No dead = no zombie.--Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 22:21, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

I need to mention that actually, 28 Days Later (and the sequel, 28 Weeks Later) -are- zombie films .... but only in the same way that I am Legend is a zombie film. It's a 'hard science' version of the zombie film genre, where they are not actually referred to 'as' zombies and they don't share one Romero zombie similarity - ie, they are not dead. Hard Science Fiction tends to try to do things in a way which is scientifically still plausible - having the dead actually come back to life is not plausible in a realistic setting, but having a population being in a state that mimics a zombified state for all practical purposes IS plausible, hence hard science fiction. It's worth noting that real life cases of 'zombies' in the carribean are also not dead, but rather 'bereft of any will of their own'. But other than the not being dead part, the infected in 28 days later (and I am Legend, and The Omega Man) are zombies, and all three movies are still classified as zombie movies (even the authors of the books which those movies were based on stated that it fell into the zombie genre).--Tselita 18:15, 8 April 2008 (BST)

Hey. Listen. Next time the discussion gets moved to the talk page, can you just continue it there? --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 20:54, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

I was expanding my vote, as allowed, for when Kevan would ready that since unfortunately it's heading into PR. It wasn't really discussion, just an expansion and clarification of what I'd already said. But cheers for the multiple fixes. -- Iscariot 20:56, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
