Recruitment Policy
If you made it this far, it's because you're tired of wandering around Earletown aimless and alone, without friends and without purpose. In the Earletown Rangers you'll be sure to find both. The Rangers are a relatively small, but growing, platoon and we are always interested in hiring new squad members to work with us to reach our mission objectives.
What Is Our Mission?
The first step to joining the Rangers is understanding our objectives, but odds are if you're reading this you already have a pretty good idea. The Rangers are a survivor group that is situated in Earletown (no surprise there) and has soldiers from our platoon stationed throughout the suburb. As a member of our platoon your job would be to defending Earletown's survivor population, heal and revive survivors, and maintain both building barricades and radio outposts. While the Rangers, and especially our Combat Medics, are geared to heal and revive our men must always be mindful not to aid any criminals. Criminals are those survivors who commonly sabotage or murder other survivors. A comprehensive list of local troublemakers is maintained by the Dulston Alliance organization, of which the Rangers are a member group, and anyone on this Black List should never be healed or revived.
Who Can Enlist?
Any able-bodied survivor is capable of joining the Rangers, regardless of skills or level. However to avoid any conflicts down the road here are a list of policies you must be willing to follow:
- You must make a pledge never to "Zerg" or use any other character(s) to the benefit of your Ranger (or vice-versa). Doing otherwise is dishonest and unfair to other players. Any Ranger discovered to be "zerging" will be discharged immediately from the Rangers.
- You cannot follow the philosophy of "Dual Nature", or the idea that "as a survivor, you play as a survivor, but as a zombie, you play as a zombie". Ranger's follow the philosophy "Esprit de Corps/Esprit de Corpse", which means that alive or dead you must always remain dedicated to the mission.
- You cannot be involved in crimes against innocent survivors, such as PKing or GKing.
- You cannot support or assist, in any way, hostile zombies.
How Do I Enlist?
Joining the Rangers is simple. Register on the Dulston Alliance forum and then post on our sign-up thread located here. In the post simply request to join the Rangers and provide a link to your character profile (i.e. http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1619091). Next, to indicate your interest, be sure to update your character's group affiliation to read: Earletown Rangers
Once your request has been confirmed on the forum you will be granted "Member" access which will allow you to access our private forum section, as well as joint forum resources with the rest of the Dulston Alliance, such as the Lounge and Communications Center.
I'm Enlisted, What's Next?
Now that you have officially joined the Earletown Rangers you should consider whether you want to proceed in a military career as a soldier or combat medic. Both positions are vital with the Rangers and it also depends on your personal preference. If you prefer the heat of battle, killing zombies and/or executing criminals, then you will want to take the soldier career path. However if you prefer to provide support, through healing and reviving your fellow squadmates, then you might be best suited as a combat medic. Of course if you change your mind down the road it only takes a simple transfer request to switch career paths. Initially you will start your career with the rank of Private (PV2), but once you begin to meet the minimum skill and enrolment requirements then your rank will improve.
As a note, when you start your new career in the Rangers be sure to report to your squad's team leader for further instructions. As the tactical situation in Earletown varies it is important to stay in contact on the forum to avoid any mishaps with the local zombie and/or criminal elements whenever possible.
