Tompson Mall: The lights are all out. Two zombies in the NW corner. Quiet otherwise. -- William 05:24, 6 June 2009 (BST)
Zombies have breached the SE corner of the mall and destroyed its generator as of less than 5 minutes ago. -- William 04:23, 6 June 2009 (BST)

Tompson Mall: Three corners of the Mall are unpowered, as generators have run out of fuel. The Cheeke Building next-door in the neighboring suburb of Ruddlebank has fallen and played host to at least a dozen zombies in the past 24 hours. St. Alexander's is in the same situation. The Mall itself is doing okay and hasn't been breached. When MOB finishes with Ruddlebank, Tompson looks to be the next target. -- William 19:18, 5 June 2009 (BST)

Josaphat General Hospital has come under repeated attack over the last few days with zombies occupying the wards and driving survivors out. Whilst local survivor groups are doing everything they can to restore the status quo help is needed to re-barricade and populate the now cleared hospital.

Just noticed that the radio frequency above was changed to 26.12 Hz some time back. As far as I am aware, there has not been any change in policy, and the official radio frequency is still 26.11 Hz. This may be an attempt at deliberate disinformation.
Also, increased observations of Gk'ing. Please be on alert as we might be seeing a wave of these and Pk'ing activities again. -- Lynx7725 11:24, 7 April 2009 (BST)
- Just checked. The frequency was changed by Lootaman199 on 23 Feb 2009. No idea why though. -- Lynx7725 11:31, 7 April 2009 (BST)

Suburb is about as safe as is gets, worst case building is one with its doors secured and no zombies outside. Seems like 20 or so zombies in the suburb max. --Major Dick 07:01, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

NecroWatch reported in from the Pursey Building. A recent scan had shown that there were 6 zombies within scanning range of the facility. Of these numbers, 4 zombies were at the Vivian Motel over in Dartside, while the other two zombies were each on their own. The area around the Pursey facility is currently considered "safe" from the zombie menace. --Mobius

Most of the North area is ruined, not looking too good for survivors in the area. Looks to me like the only place to get ammo in the suburb is Frossard PD, and I don't think it will be up much longer. --Warfates 00:53, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Large amounts of zombies scattered and 2 or more 10+ sized mobs roving through central Lockettside. Large amount of ruined buildings. --Luke Leimer 17:39, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
Cheeke is still down, Tompson has been retaken, trying to hold, attacks on SE corner. We need fuel for the genny's. --Fausta Gummings 01:22, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
NE and SE corners of Tompson ruined again. Puresy NT down, most of the middle of Lockettside ruined. On a plus note though Club Frankland is still up & running so you can get a beer.--Fausta Gummings 10:05, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

With nearly 100 standing zombies outside of the Southeast quadrant of Tompson Mall, and another 90 bodies littering the outskirts, it seems that the zombie horde from Mall Tour 09 is gradually gearing up for a major offensive in that area. The food court in the mall is preparing hors d'oeuvres for their hungry guests. --FLZombie 23:51, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

The Lockettside Boys are still alive and kicking and have been working on our drunken ninja skills, and that might be why you haven't seen us around. We have been disguised as the beer bottles that people have been finding around the suburb.--Harvey Goolap 19:45, 04 March 2009 (CST)
Ahem, broken beer bottles thank you Harvey, that's what you get for trying a round house while swigging from your pint.--Fausta Gummings 01:06, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
Edit to my edit, WEEKS? try hanging out in the Club. The only time there's not someone there is during a major zombie attack (or our karaoke tours) and even then our corpses litter the floor. At least I think its corpses, it could just be members who've passed out while drinking Jackhammer tm--Fausta Gummings 01:12, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Updated the EMRP for Lockettside. No changes to the situation as reported on Jan 06.
In addition, regular reporting on the NecroNet records shows minor scattered Zed activities around Pursey NT. NecroNet records can be a good indicator of Zed activities and can help Survivors to coordinate better. Please continue to scan Zombies in the area so that the information will be current. -- Lynx7725 05:28, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Lockettside has generally gone back to usual. Sproadic Zombie attacks/ break-in attempts are still ongoing especially for Pursey (NT), but things are generally calm. -- Lynx7725 05:43, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
Historic Events
November/ December 2008 RFF Christmas Food Drive
The Ridleybank Resistance Front's Christmas Food Drive '08 trickled into Lockettside around Late November 2008, but hit heavily in early December. This drive is characterized by Zombie Sympathizers attacks on generators in resource buildings prior to actual Zombie attacks. Tompson Mall was overran in early December, but the RRF did not occupy the mall for very long. Instead, they moved eastwards into the suburb proper.
With proper preparation and the willingness to make runs to the overran and unsecured Tompson Mall, most resource buildings were rebarricaded and repowered within a day or two. This did generally provoked more GK attacks and zombie break-ins, but with RRF not occupying key resource buildings, resupply was available (if disruptable) and reoccupation was generally not a major issue.
Overall, the RRF Christmas Food Drive generally achieved the objective of spicing things up for Lockettside, but not overdoing it such that the Suburb became untenable. The Drive was a credible assault on Lockettside and disruptions were widespread, but RRF's willingness to move on enabled survivors to pick up the pieces, and learn valuable lessons while doing so.
An unintended side effect is that it appears the PKing crowd that plagued Lockettside prior to the Food Drive appears to have been driven off ahead of the Zombie Horde. It remains to be seen if they would return or go to other Suburbs.
January 2008 Assault on Tompson Mall
On Thursday, 04 Jan 2006, the assault on Tompson Mall was begun.
The assault was started at 1700GMT by the Shambling Seagulls, who struck the NE corner of the mall, targetting high-level players.
At 1830GMT the Undying Scourge followed in the Seagulls tracks and left a gaping hole in the defenses of the mall, killing many characters.
Then at 1900GMT the Minions of the Apocalypse piled in behind, wreaking carnage and increasing the body count exponentially.
The Tompson Mall has since returned to its stronghold self although some feral zombies remain active in the suburb.
In a related assault, on Jan 3 2006, Da Shamblin' WAAAGH would begin its seige of the Frossard Police Department. Even though they are a smaller group consisting of relatively low level zombies, they prevailed through closely coordinated attacks and persistence.
On 8 Jan 2006, all the survivors were finally cleared from the Frossard Police Department and it is now under zombie control.
By 0800 on 11 Jan 2006, three corners of Tompson Mall had been emptied and a few dozen sleeping survivors remained in the SW Mall. As most of its defenders fled or were killed, Tompson Mall fell a few hours later.
For more on the January Assault on Tompson Mall, please see the historical perspective at Attack on Tompson Mall. Contributions are welcomed.
One factor in the collapse is entirely understated in the Attack on Tompson Mall discussion. During the lull prior to the mall's final collapse (Jan 6-9), the assumption was made that zombie activity was low. From the perspective of most survivors in the neighborhood this may be true. However, concerted attacks on known and suspected Confederacy leadership targets were made over a 5 day period prior to the final assault, most of whom were not in the mall itself but instead were located in surrounding buildings. Any known leaders as well as any high level survivors spotted were targeted for elimination as soon as they were spotted in an effort to soften up the neighborhood. Some of these survivors were actually killed multiple times over the course of several days.
This apparently lulled the remaining survivors, which comprised the bulk of the mall inhabitants, into a false sense of security. When the final attack on the mall finally came, many of the defense organizers were probably either dislocated to safehouses farther away or already dead (a safe assumption because most were absent during the fall). The resulting chaos led to a general failure in the mall's defenses which caused it's total collapse to occur within 24 hours.
January 2008 Siege of Tompson Mall
Following the fall of Tompson Mall on 11 Jan 2006, the Zombie Horde dispersed to attack buildings in Western and Central Lockettside in smaller hordes. This allowed Survivors to retake Tompson Mall on 14 Jan 2006, and the small number of Survivors within held out a small horde of feral Zombies.
For the next 10 days, attacks by feral zombies came and went, with occasional breaches which were thrown back by the Survivors. By 24 Jan, the Mall is sufficiently secured that the siege can be considered lifted.

Recognized Revive Points
The three official recognized Lockettside revive points are: Rackman Row (28, 82) (Black Mesa Revive) as well as Kendall Row (26, 84)(NT revive) and Butler Avenue (20, 83) (Tompson Mall Security). Zombies are not to be shot standing on these locations. Also, any cemetery can be deemed a temporary revive point under the Sacred Ground policy. If you want to create additional Revive points please post them here; otherwise, no other revive points will remain valid, including TinyURL sprays.
An Unofficial Revive Point is Lumb Street (27, 85), 1 south of the Pursey Building (NT) (27, 84)
The RESCUE! tactic has been abandoned in Lockettside due to the changes affecting ruined buildings, free running and twisting your ankle when falling off a masonry wall the zombies have brought down. The construction skill and tool kits don't actually mention bags of mortar and trowel and bucket but that's what it implies (or at least a nearby Wickes). Anyhow, Rescue is off the cards, nice try by the D.E.M. though, you weren't to know about future changes.
Four Corners
The Southwest corner of Lockettside is included in the Four Corners.
