Interesting idea. You could also point at Eastonwood with its very large number of NTs and hospitals, and take a look at resident group Malton College of Medicine as an example of a teaching group that has become good at sucking up and educating newly arrived survivors. Practical problem with Woodgate Avenue would be that The Dead 2.0 have had a very tight grip on Dunell Hills for about two years now - a static group with a lot of freshly spawned low-levels would be a buffet, not a force to be reckoned with. -- Spiderzed▋ 14:11, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I was thinking about the dead when I added that. I'll add an explanation point about the MCM who do something on a larger scale. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 14:24, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Hows that spiderzed? --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 19:47, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

How about presenting solutions to the problems listed. A guide should offer more guidence than it presents barriers the reader needs to overcome. Also make the section tegarding MFD less time sensetive. They may have only 21 members now but may have more or less members in the future. That could be as simple as stating "at the time of writing" or by rewriting it to be time neutral. ~ 21:26, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Added hows that Vapor? --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 22:25, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Why so specific? There's no need to address specific groups unless it's a concrete example of what you're explaining, not where it's not being applied. I'd scrap the use of MFD as an example of anything (other than a waste of time) and just refer to how firefighting is a useful skill to start with. Perhaps also specify that it's a skill that isn't recognsied as great until the game's been played a bit so new firefighters may tend to be secondary alts of players who've already started elsewhere. 22:40, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

I think its that specific because rillie bank was what got me started on this. (Sadly its not a fire damaged building). I could probably lose the MPD bit. As for the other comment, I;ve never actually seen stats on what class people start as, so I can't really comment on secondary alts. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 22:45, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

It's merely educated supposition. But anecdotally, most new new characters are military, it seems. Also make it prettier. You can do it. 22:47, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Changed the first suggestion. Any idea about wording for the second bit? --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 22:48, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

About Rillie Bank? Map out a free running lane to the nearest generator mine, and a suggested barricade plan for the area. 22:53, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Added anything else? --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 10:18, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

One of the NTs you mention at the bottom of the guide is an active rot relief clinic. I'm not sure if The South Paynterton Aces would like it if a budding group started cading it in hoes of making a scientist baby making factory. There is another NT just 2 blocks fromnthat cemetary, though. I'd be interested to see how many of the TRP clusters are out there. The idea intrigues me and would be inclined to act on the principle. ~ 20:42, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

I'll change the example. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 21:03, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

This all looks very intruiging, and I'm tempted to try it, after reading this. The guide is good.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 12:02, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
