Zombie town

Okay here goes. There are two zombies outside Craddy, two outside the Humphrys Building, two outside Brimblecombe Auto Repair. One outside each of: the Fairfield Library, Windey Towers, the Brownton Building, the Hazeldine Museum, and Tudge Way Fire Station. There were no zeds outside the Roger Arms, so I tried it - there are two inside. And one inside Windy Towers. All of those ruined of course, as are the PD and the two fire stations nearby - no zeds outside those, but I didn't check inside. There are 11 standing in queue at Churchous Avenue.

The museum was empty and I'm running low on AP, so I'll wait a bit here, then try to reach you. --Sophie Ames 06:38, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Sorry to be late had some trouble getting to my comp today wasn't sure were to put this lol. Hey Don't worry you didn't make me croass half of Malton I was in the area near fort Perryn doing revives there when the RRF evicted me I know I was behind on my rent but no where near that much. PKers are a real pain and they really enjoy putting me down Ive been copping a few PKs lately but don't we all if I see him Ill just even the score. I'm up just outside of Bastick Auto in case you were still wondering.--ZIPO 07:08, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
Glad to hear from you ZIPO! But you did get my text message then, right? Otherwise I see how all this may be a bit weird for you haha. Got it, I'm hiding in a ruin nearby, almost out of ap, and about to make a run for Bastick. I'll revive you next, as soon as I build up some ap. Or, if Dub is still online, he may get to you sooner. And yeah, this page is getting pretty messy heh, I'll clean it up later today. --Sophie Ames 07:29, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
No rush ill come to you if you like.--ZIPO 09:01, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
We seem to be good, so long as the Philosophe Knight doesn't go apeshit and try to PK us. We've got a good spot to rest up, grab some FAK's, I've got a decent amount of syringes still, and we can get back to max AP. I'll keep trying to contact survivor groups via their forums to rally support for a takeback of the suburb, unless we decide to head elsewhere. Either way, it's nice to have some backup - spent Dub's entire life being feral, before now. --DubStreet 20:41, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, well, I'm counting on him rather joining a civilised chat on high matters... praise knowledge, and all that haha. Hey, right back at you :) I'm somewhat of a newb, as you can see, but I was already getting tired of being me against everyone else. I say we work here a couple days and then decide what next. It's a bit frustrating, yes? Everybody seem to have left the game in this area. I have an alt in South Blythville, fighting the MOB, it's really different over there. Still, I would like to see at least one of the Penny Heights malls retaken, before moving somewhere else. I'll keep an eye on us, I hope we can rest until tomorrow. Cheers! --Sophie Ames 23:13, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Sorry about the noise, I cleaned up the page a bit, it was getting cumbersome to write here. All quiet in Penny Heights. I took a short stroll around, to check on things. St. Seraphim's been heavily barricaded, two survivors in there. Anderson is EHB and empty. Two in Blanning, EHB as well. Some of those chaps are really shady characters, but I guess that can't be helped. I'm going to take a nap. --Sophie Ames 01:48, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Any data we can get on danger levels and such of resource buildings is excellent. I'm reaching out to various survivor groups who claim to specialize in taking back redzones, in the hopes that we can marshal a major force to hit the Heights. The lumberjacks have to be considered defunct at this point - they don't respond at all on their forum, and they haven't bothered to re-establish either of their radio frequencies. --DubStreet 03:12, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
I feel fretful about that Philosophe Knight, Dub. He hasn't moved, I'm sure he raked enough AP by now to kill two of us. I mean, if he has the ammo. Speaking of which, it seems the PD has been repaired - your handiwork? Anyroad, I'm thinking of walking over to the War Crescent RP later today, reviving a couple survivors, and checking on the hospitals and surrounding buildings. Maybe even Lumber Mall, if I can rest a bit on the way. Perhaps we could find lumberjacks around, even if they don't check their own forum. Or LMS, for that matter. --Sophie Ames 07:58, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
It's also possible he just hasn't been online. I haven't seen him move or do anything in like three days. Argh - I went searching in that police station. 12 AP, and I found one, exactly one, shotgun shell. Sigh. At least I have my trusty axe. --DubStreet 08:34, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
Latest update on the Penny Heights news page - "Suburb is ruined; just enough zeds to stop it from qualifying as a ghost town. Buildings all seem to be either gutted or at EHB. Mall filled with the living dead. The upper half of the suburb is almost totally deserted. -George Zip 03:51, 3 February 2009 (UTC)" I think we're fucked unless we can rally a survivor group to our assistance. We either get a large source of dedicated backup - perhaps DK13 is worth a try, they seem active and motivated and they live here in fryerbank, so presumably they don't want a ghost town on their northern border - or we move on. Without aid, I expect my last act in Penny Heights will be to shift the classification from the 'very dangerous' I originally gave it to 'Ghost Town', sadly. --DubStreet 08:37, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
Sorry to be last again it is getting harder and harder to get to a comp :(. I'm not actively hunting PKers but a mate of mine thinks the reason I might of been a target lately is apparently because a bounty hunter has a name similar to mine and they think I might be an alt. But anyway I see the situation in this suburb is bad but I believe it should start to calm down soon hopefully we just got to hold on.--ZIPO 08:53, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
I just killed a zombie. Bloody hell, I'm still shaking. Dont laugh, you gits! It was my first one! :) Now I'm out of AP again of course. Sigh, it was nice to have 35 for five minutes. Hey ZIPO, glad you made it, and np, we don't have schedules or anything. And this suburb is recovering, but our target was Penny Heights, and that seems to be going nowhere anyway. How long do you intend to wait, Dub? --Sophie Ames 16:13, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
I'll make one last effort to contact DK13. If that fails, I suggest we say goodbye to Penny Heights for now and find a fight that can actually use our talents. No point getting killed for a suburb that no one else will fight for, sad as it is to just have to abandon the place. --DubStreet 20:39, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Continued...

Just got your message, Dub. I'm a bit tied up at the moment heh, but I wanted to acknowledge that :) --Sophie Ames 01:01, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

And in re: your last comment here: Fair enough. If it comes to that, I have to stay clear of South Bly, because of the alt there. Kempsterbank isn't too good either, because I'm not on best terms with a notorious zerger who is, among many other things, a big honcho for the Knights Templar. It's a long story, I'll tell you some other time. That place is too green to be any fun anyway. Other than those, I'm willing to go anywhere. The redder, the better.

In the meantime, I was thinking, maybe we could make the best of being working together, have a little fun, and perhaps improve our miserabl... ah, "underprivileged", situation, in this fair suburb. Yeah, I have a plan hehe. No trenchcoatery or grandiose strategery, I promise :D I'll tell you in a bit. --Sophie Ames 01:48, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Good news - just made contact with another survivor. He asked me for the name of our 'group', so he could join it. We may have some thinking to do, here. --DubStreet 05:38, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
Haha so we're a group now. Grand! A name, right. I'm on it. And thank goodness, because explaining the aforementioned 'plan', such as it was, was starting to make me feel more and more like an insufferable dork :D I'll do it later. Oh, before I forget: I went outside about an hour ago. There are 5 zeds outside St. Seraphim's, it may not stay safe much longer (and I'm out of FAKs grr). There's just one zed inside the PD. But there are 9 (!) standing in Bulmer Street, right next to us. Is that a revive point? --Sophie Ames 05:59, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, it's a DK13 public revive point. And I still want to hear the 'plan'. Heh. --DubStreet 07:06, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
You're going to, eventually, whether you want it or not :P I'm prone to overthinking stuff, or so I'm told heh. But not today. RP then, right next to us... we could check that queue tomorrow, at least put the needles to good use. I don't think DK13 would mind, do you? And about that name business... what, like, 'Kamikaze Revivers?' 'The 10 APs?' Haha sorry, I'm drawing a blank here. --Sophie Ames 08:01, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Well I clicked some bad buttons or something and am stuck outside I imagine ill be dead again soon. I have been most unlucky as of late. Did my message get through by the way?--ZIPO 12:01, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Oh no. I hope you're alright, ZIPO. I'm out of FAKs, but still have 6 syringes. So I can't keep you alive outside, but I'll revive you, don't worry. Please let me know when you stand up. I did hear you in-game, about the zeds counts, and that survivor that was probably dragged outside. Or do you mean, in-game mobile phone message? I think there's no service in this suburb. If you're out of supplies, you might as well head back to civilisation and restock... as you can see, not much going on here right now. Hey, will you join the 'group' as well? I hope you do. Good luck. --Sophie Ames 15:12, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

I went outside. Yup, you're there ZIPO, getting eaten by 2 zombies outside the cinema. Bugger. Well, tell me when you stand up to revive you. Dub, I scanned some zeds in that queue:

There were 3 more. No rotters in sight. But I counted 13 zeds, presumably hostile, spreaded outside the neighboring buildings. No zeds outside this place, but still, it may not stay safe for long. Both Gelasius and St. Seraphim's are ruined now, so I can't get FAKs damn it.

I'll check for records, then revive just one. I really think we should save enough AP for a quick escape. --Sophie Ames 16:16, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Update: they're all clean as far as I can tell. Revived Antony Plaza, MPD, he was the one who noticed the PKer in our safehouse. I have 12AP now, will try to get to 30 before the next one. --Sophie Ames 17:11, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

DK13

Bad news. It's as I feared - they make pretense towards a military structure and discipline, but when it comes right down to it, they appear to be little more than gangsta wannabes. I don't think we'll get any help from DK13. Their response to my post on their forums, explaining the situation and how it would be to their advantage to help us retake Penny Hills, was, and I quote, "You got pwned, lol!" There have been no other replies. Time for us to think about setting up our own group, and moving on, I think. Penny Hills is a lost cause, sad as that is, because we're the only ones who care. Also, I believe ZIPO is dead - there's a corpse with the two zombies in front of the Cinema. I'll think a little more about group names. --DubStreet 17:51, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

How charming. I'm sad, really. But yes, we're wasting our time. Yeah, ZIPO's dead, and he probably wont stand up until tomorrow. I'll stay the night to revive him on my way out. Rest a bit, Dub, and feel free to leave anytime, I'll catch up. We need to restock, Fort Perryn is down, as is Mitchem Mall. Any ideas? St. Seraphim's was already VSB and empty when I got there. I'll stay there a bit watching the barricades, hopefully I can get me a couple FAKs for the road. --Sophie Ames. 18:33, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
Well, I need to spend the night as well, spent all my AP clearing out the hospital so we could stock up on medkits again. Wherever we go, I need to make a stop to pick up a toolkit. A generator and/or transmitter wouldn't go amiss, either. And we still need a name. Hmm. FAK You is a bit too crude, I think. 'DSS Medical Technicians' has an amusing hidden meaning to it - that or 'DS&S', but is, admittedly, a bit bland...--DubStreet 18:42, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
I already carry a toolbox, and it's bulky. But yeah, very handy in a pinch. I can cover that dept. for the time being. If you get a generator and transmitter, then I'll get fuel. Blesley Mall, in Gulsonside? DSS, I like it. I don't know about you, but I was hoping to roam around, patching people up as close as possible to red zones. I'd like the name to reflect that. There are quite enough Emergency Medical Services in Malton already, but perhaps something like, 'Emergency Professionals', or 'Rescue Specialists'. Or 'experts', even. We're not your average random reviver here :D --Sophie Ames 19:50, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
I like that concept. I think we've just gotten a great example of the perils of hanging around one suburb too damn long. The two of us have healing and reviving pretty well covered, and I've got full gun skills and enough shotguns and pistols to take down quite a few zombies when needed (when I'm not strung out, exhsuted, and ammo depleted), so I can handle defense as well, though we could probably use additional support in that respect. DSS Combat Support Squad? DSS Combat Revival Squad? Danger Zone Technicians? Danger Zone Support Co? DSS Danger Rescue Specialists? You're right, we should avoid EMS-style names, civic type names, something that sounds more mercenary and professional. Hmmm. --DubStreet 20:26, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
DSS Field Rescue Specialists. DSS Danger Zone Medical. DSS Red-Zone Operations. I don't quite like 'squads'. We may be spending way too much time on this haha. I'd actually settle for your 'DSS Medical Technicians', best one so far I think. --Sophie Ames 22:05, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
Lumber mall is up and powered. South side has had a small zombie break-in, but I revived the dead survivor and put up what barricades I could. We'll need backup there quickly, but a decent group has gathered. C'mon up. Updating intel now. --DubStreet 06:27, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Lumber Mall

7 zeds outside the south block, counted 8 more spreaded in the neighbourhood. I hope they're as tired as I am. The survivor in the south is okay for now. I could only barricade lightly+2 or so. I need to sleep now. --Sophie Ames 07:25, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

EMRP is in - 70 or so zeds on the streets, most buildings smashed, almost no power anywhere in the suburb. Rothwell Building, however, supposedly has power - so we've now got a local NT we can hit up for supplies. I've got some AP so I'm going to begin stocking up on ammo and gear. --DubStreet 22:10, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
Yeah I heard too. I'm down south watching the barricades. Did you just take them back to EHB? Anyway, don't spend AP on that, I have that covered for now. Some bloke just entered the mall, Caetano something. He's polite. --Sophie Ames 22:16, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

I just checked the hospitals. Josephine is lit, got me some FAKs there. No power in Odo, but not ruined at least. Dub, Piker Pete is in Cracknell Towers, with 5 other survivors - two with (short) PK'er records: ChunkeyMonkey, 645877, allegedly a lumberjack; Mike Pasquinel, 1256140, from Doom Patrol (I've seen that man before, can't remember where). 4 survivors in Josephine, one seems dangerous: nemonic, 1211984, from the "Allied Travellers Organisation". Will inquire about them later. --Sophie Ames 23:34, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Talking with a few new people about banding together, now that we've got a temporary HQ, broadcast point, and resource point. We need a name now more than ever. What about Danger Zone Support Squad? Or Red Zone Support Squad? Or DSS Redzone Support? Something that cuts to the heart of our goal - to get to hot zones and support the survivor efforts to hold them. I don't know about you, but I'm not hugely interested on finding and taking a HQ. Much more fun to go looking for trouble, and solving it. --DubStreet 02:55, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
"DSS Red Zone Support". Make it so. (no 'squad', please). --Sophie Ames 03:18, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
