The Last Stand

Hello i am a member of the group The Last Stand, where a small group that has been in the game for little over 3 years, and i would like to ask you if you would be willing to allow us to ally our selves with you, i have just learned about the evil intent of the DA and the MU, and have been working with Lemonhead and the PDA for about a year or 2 in the attempt to protect our burb from the zombie infestation, again i would like to ask to form an alliance with your group, thank you for your time and please consider us Xig2

Just an idea

No idea where else to post this idea, but here it is. The DEM has most of the major needs of Malton covered. Except for one. Engineers. There is no group in all of Malton that comes into a suburb, builds barricades, sets up and maintains generators and radio transmitters and reports the status of their suburb. A corps of engineers paired with a military operation could more quickly bring a suburb from dark and ruined to barricaded and lit. The problem is that it lacks to glamour of shooting or revivifying zombies of curing the sick and wounded. That's also the reason why the MCI is the least popular group in the DEM. So, i think it's a good idea, but it probably wouldn't take off. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Stilwell (talk • contribs) 16:55, September 27, 2008.

No. Garbage disposal is more important than engineers. --Sonny Corleone ^{DORIS MSD pr0n} 01:02, 28 September 2008 (BST)

That's kind of the MFD's purview, perhaps minus the transmitters. The idea has been floated around the DEM before, especially right after the ruin updates. Major stumbling block, besides the fact that it lessens perceived MFD responsibility, was the utter lack of XP available to folks who do nothing but repair, cade, and power, IIRC. But an independent (i.e., not DEM) group of engineers could be a fun RP thing. -- Atticus Rex ^{mfu pif} Δ 02:04, 28 September 2008 (BST)

Over 450?

At a stat page count a while ago, you had little over 300 members: Malton Police Department 90 Malton Fire Department 60 Malton Civil Defense Unit 47 Malton Forensics Unit 42 Malton Emergency Medical Service 30 Malton Marshals 19 Axes High 21 A more up to date one puts you at under 300, so unless a third of you are not wearing tags, you should edit that 'over 450 members' out, along with the 'gaining members every day' as according to those counts, you're losing members. Just saying. --Aldaris 09:53, 3 October 2008 (BST)

thanks for bringing that to our attention we'll get right on that--Kristi of the Dead 10:31, 3 October 2008 (BST)

Current counts puts us at 314.GeraldThompson 22:35, 10 October 2008 (BST)

A city wide problem

Hello, I'm Soldier UDW leader of the Special Zombie Extermination Squad. I appreciate the size and strength of the DEM, I wish my group is strong as yours. What I'm here for is because the zombies are beginning to overrun the survivors and me and my entire group is going to take part of the Malton Uprising. If you have any updates or word around the city, tell me about it. I will provide some use.

-- Soldier 01:44, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

you're joining the malton uprising? That's not really something the DEM supports :). And I thought it had desolved... In any event feel free to stop by our forums over on brainstock and we'll get you hooked up with ally forum access. Then perhaps we could work more closely together.--Kristi of the Dead 13:23, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Uh,Soldier,you realize that the purpose of the Malton Uprising is to kill DEM members.--Gamestriker4 12:20, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

How do I clear myself from the rogues gallery?

I was added for killing a GKer who was literally going to ever corner of Caiger Mall offing generators. Once I killed him I informed everyone in the building that he was a GKer and deserved it. I do not think that helping insure high search rates is a crime. How can I clear myself of this? http://www.ud-malton.info/rg/i/1049109 --Xan2020 04:05, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello, Xan. The RG forum has a thread for appeals such as the one you describe. -- Atticus Rex ^{mfu pif} Δ 19:32, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. I filed my appeal. I just hope it goes over well.--Xan2020 21:55, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

The Great Radio Group Massacre

	Group Confirmed.
	This frequency was confirmed active. Thank you for your reply.

I know this is a random request, but it's for all groups regardless of size.

-- Linkthewindow  Talk  22:57, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm going to tell you the same thing I told the last guys... Please contact us by forum in the future. It's a total fluke that I'm seeing this right now, I almost missed the notice about the cleanup on the main page. Yes, though, we are still here.--Labine50 ^{MEMS | MHG} 01:55, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Aww, I would have swung by the forums after a week or two. Or maybe I could have impersonated y'all instead, and saved you the trouble... ;) --Jen 03:19, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Lol. Anyway we can't use forums as it sets a double standard, and will thus mean that all groups will want to be contacted that way. Sorry :(. Linkthewindow  Talk  07:26, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Ultimatum

The Necrotech Assassins are a large presence in Crowbank. As you appear to be the areas central survivor authority, the NTA has opened communications with you to discuss the future of the suburb. It feels a shame that having just been retaken, it should be plunged in to a war that could compromise its delicate state. Therefore, I have for you an ultimatum. We feel that it is unfair that your group has been shunned from Malton after all it has done, and so we are willing to offer you an alliance. As the recent Malton Uprising declared war on you under the premise that you allow three alts per your organization, I would allow some of your members to enter the NTA, and continue their regular actions as members of the DEM. This would allow you to appear to have changed, yet also continue as you are. It would also mean that you would be lent support from our agents, who would also cease their current murders on members of your groups. As my men are covert, you shall not discover who is actually working for me. The only way to cease the attacks will be to form an alliance. I also wish for a full support accord to be agreed, that we can work together in any large-scale battles in the future. These are my terms. If you do not Respond and accept the alliance before new years day, 3 days from now, then I shall reveal the full extent of my force, and declare war on the DEM. The hidden NTA agents, and those who have yet to begin PKing, will all be given the DEM as a focus, and will be sent en masse to eliminate all life in the Crowbank area. This will remain as a constant until you surrender, and submit unconditionally. However, if you do choose to form an alleigance, we shall work on the conditions fairly. I wait for your response. --Necrotech Officer of Defense, Alexander Koponen 16:44, 28 December 2008 (BST)

The Great Suburb Group Massacre, 2009

	Group Confirmed.
	This group was confirmed active. Thank you for your reply.

Occasionally, general checks are done of group activity. This may seem like a stupid question, but it's for all groups, regardless of size. Linkthewindow  Talk  11:22, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Well, this is not actually a group, but an organizational construct of member groups and strategic partners, but: yes, we are active. - Stephen Krantz 17:50, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Good enough for me! Linkthewindow  Talk  22:46, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your help! - Stephen Krantz 11:32, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

I wonder what would have happened if you hadn't confirmed... Would it had mattered that we asked each DEM group and sub-group separately? I see redundancy in these queries, Linky! Mayhap we should stick to asking groups if they are active... less polytiks to consider.(The preceeding statement was made in jest) --YoHoho^Talk 15:43, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Eh, sorry - was that a question? - Stephen Krantz 16:14, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

I was just wondering what would have been done if no one had confirmed that the DEM was active, just the groups within it.--YoHoho^Talk 23:58, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Well, we can try next time, can't we? - Stephen Krantz 06:19, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Sure! It can be a game. Heads or tails: Do DEM groups have to put all of their tags onto the suburb pages or just some? =P --YoHoho^Talk 15:51, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

I'd say that's up to the groups to decide. - Stephen Krantz 16:05, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Rhetorical question, Krantz. *pats* --YoHoho^Talk 16:11, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Ah, I see. You did know I'm not the brightest, right? - Stephen Krantz 16:13, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

I wouldn't say that... lets just call you focused on the literal. --YoHoho^Talk 17:48, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Hm. I see. *eats doughnut*- Stephen Krantz 18:03, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Website for DEM?

http://www.ud-malton.info/ seems to be taken by an domain grabber. Where do i get my revive queues from now? -- -Alka Selzer- ^{[ Talk - Map - Stuff ]}  19:08, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

It is back online, for now at least. Lomd 23:45, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

WHOIS information show a "Last Updated On" 22-Mar-2009 22:49:05 UTC and Expiration Date in March 2010, so i guess it's okay now. -- -Alka Selzer- ^{[ Talk - Map - Stuff ]}  07:07, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Building Information Center

Hello, I am here representing the Building Information Center. As one of the largest and most omnipresent organisations in the game, you would be able to maintain the reports for many buildings across the city. In essence, that is why I am here- to request that you, and your member groups help to update the BIC.--~ Red Hawk One ^{Talk | space for lease} 22:05, 21 July 2009 (BST)

Ephraim Lancer

I don't know if this is the place to put this, but a player called Ephraim Lancer has been repetitively destroying the generator in Tompson Mall. His group listing suggests he is part of your group. Is this so, and if so, why are you allowing him to destroy the Generator? Sorakairi 22:59, 26 July 2009 (BST)

It EPIN UD. --Skouth 23:38, 6 August 2009 (BST)

Anyone with a DEM group tag isn't likely affiliated with this alliance - they go by their individual group tags: Malton Fire Department, Malton Police Department, whatever. Mr. Lancer seems to be masquerading or perhaps has started his own DEM, one with hookers, and blackjack. -- M arcusF ilby ^T 20:54, 7 August 2009 (BST)

That DEM sounds like it would be a muc more popular force. I know I'd join it. --Doctor Dark 05:15, 8 August 2009 (BST)

He has killed me twice also --DaReaperZ
