Great Suburb Group Massacre 2011

All suburb wiki pages are undergoing a clean up to remove inactive groups from the group listing (see here: this suburb's groups). If you are a group currently listed in this suburb, you will be contacted on your group's talk page within the next few days and asked to reply with a list of suburbs in which you are active. Groups that fail to reply within two weeks of being contacted will automatically be removed from the suburbs where they are listed.

We're posting here in the hopes that more groups will be aware of the clean up and can respond appropriately, since our team does not have the time nor the manpower to seek out every group in-game or track down its group members elsewhere on the wiki. If you know that some groups in your suburb do not check the wiki, please be a good neighbor and let them know that they NEED to check it for this, or else they will be unlisted in the near future.

The wiki members coordinating the cleanup will be using the table below to track their progress in communicating with the various groups. Please do not edit it if you are not involved with The Great Suburb Group Massacre 2011 team.

This suburb has been cleared. Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 20:46, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Please check your group's talk pages in the next few weeks, and respond promptly when you receive a communication from the GSGM2011 team. Thanks. Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 23:36, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your cooperation as we cleaned up the group listings for this suburb. Your help in reaching out to groups and replying to our requests has been much appreciated. Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 20:46, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

I thought I'd point out that while not reflected on this page the RRF has been confirmed through our talk page already. -- Papa Jadkor ^{(RRF) (MotA) (MT11)} 10:57, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Now that piece of news has really dumbfounded me. Never expected RRF to be in that corner too! (Also, table updated.) -- Spiderzed▋ 14:37, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Obviously since I don't watch the talk pages for groups like 101st screaming eagles, and it would be illogical to check the 50 or so group talks every day, I'm going to do them all at once, at the deadline.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 15:58, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

We aim to surprise SpiderZed ;) No problem Yonnua, after we were removed from the Stanbury page even though we were confirmed for there I just wanted to make sure it didn't happen again. -- Papa Jadkor ^{(RRF) (MotA) (MT11)} 12:55, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Don't worry, you'd never get that from TEAM NORTH EAST --Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 20:46, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

can we pleeeese stop with the edit wars and the chest thumping.

really! it's so 07' and to quote the great overlord grim

Suburb pages are for news regarding the suburb, not organisational rallying calls. --The Grimch U! E! WAT! 09:12, 24 October 2007 (BST)

Works for me, but it all sorta depends on if BAB wants to continue editorializing reports and adding percentages pulled from thin air, doesn't it? -MHSstaff 17:42, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

it's getting tiring and it's bullshit.--

bitch 22:50 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Keep the point of view NEUTRAL, MHSstaff. Propaganda stays in propaganda section. I don't want to start drama or piss off mods/sysops by stepping out of bounds, so I'm not removing anything. But seriously, keep it neutral man. Even if someone else starts being non-neutral, it doesn't give you the rights to do it back. Same for you, Babs.--Penguinpyro 22:50, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Kinda agree with this. Just because someone is spewing nonsense doesn't mean you should retaliate in the same manner (looking at MHStaff and Jadkor). If Babs continues with the mess, start moving the "reports" to this talk page, and contact him/her on his/hers talkpage. If all else fails proceed to arbitration, just keep the news report factual and NPOV.--Thadeous Oakley Talk 23:17, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

The data was never "pulled from thin air" but collected through systematic scouting. You may have noticed that with numerous tall buildings conveniently scattered throughout the suburb, a near total scout of Ridleybank can be completed in 20-25 AP depending on one's approach.

And anyone familiar with the unfolding of the conflict in Ridleybank and the adjacent suburbs of Stanburry Village, Pimbank and Roftwood could tell you that my characterization of events is accurate. Do you wish to argue that you significantly damaged the SSZ over the last month? Please check the suburb reports, the suburb danger map history and mall status updates to confirm the accuracy of my assertion that you were unable to significantly disrupt survivor supply lines (although you had good success in keeping Nichols ruined, especially over the last 2 weeks or so.) And are we not now seeing greater zombie numbers focusing on destroying Ridleybank? Does this not illustrate a "refocused" and "concentrated effort" in response to much of Ridleybank being repaired day after day over the last several weeks? These reports reflect an undeniable reality not "editorializing" or "nonsense." Casting aspersions on the validity of my data also won't change the fact that many players have observed these same conditions in game themselves and your denial of the facts will appear compensatory.

And regarding chest thumping - with comments like, "Another fast turnover brought to you by the RRF" on various building updates, and Jadkor's number-packed parody of the statistical descriptions in my reports, can you really blame me for expecting a greater level of tolerance and good humor for referring to a "significant number of organized survivors" threatening what is referred to in the page's introduction as "the original standard" of "zombie dominance" in "the homeland" of Ridleybank?! I mean, come on, have you read that stuff? :P

It seems to me that the real offense here is in actually posing a challenge to the RRF's unquestioned and long-standing hold on Ridleybank. That has been met with petty complaints and accusations I would not have expected from such an indisputably powerful horde. And so we will relinquish what surely you would ultimately have taken back eventually. But understand that this time you secured your home not with tooth and claw but with your tears.--Bad Attitude Barbie^SDN 07:20, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

It's been fun fighting you guys. However I object to your tears comment. No one is crying here. And as far as I know the only issue was a minor misunderstanding with Jess. I think you realized that any gains you got you failed to secure and were always undone so you decided to tuck tail, flee and try to save face by refusing to admit you can't win. The facts are that most of the buildings in Ridleybank that you secured while here were barricaded and empty while you guys hid in the border burbs, cade strafed and called things safe. -- Papa Jadkor ^{(RRF) (MotA) (MT11)} 11:26, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Well, we now seem to be in agreement that buildings were, in fact, reclaimed (an assertion not pulled out of thin air.) Let's just a review a couple more statements.

Babs: "And so we will relinquish what surely you would ultimately have taken back eventually."

Jadkor: "...you decided to tuck tail, flee and try to save face by refusing to admit you can't win." --Bad Attitude Barbie^SDN 14:37, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

BAB: "But understand that this time you secured your home not with tooth and claw but with your tears." What you had wasn't relinquished, it was taken back. You couldn't hold it. Key example: Repair Mogg and it's a pinata 40 minutes later. While most of Ridleybank was being ruined you were squatting in Pimbank knowing Ridleybank wasn't as safe as you claimed. That's how it happened. You guys are leaving because we secured out Homeland with our claws, not our tears. -- Papa Jadkor ^{(RRF) (MotA) (MT11)} 14:53, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Cry me a river, you really think the RRF even cared about you in the slightest? No. They moved out for a horde strike on Tynte because your failure of a team is too pathetic to even stay in a suburb you claim to have brought back to "survivor hands" instead just sitting there cowering in border buildings leaving the entire defence of what you so historically reclaimed to a herd of level one zergs and other groups working with you (aside from a few times at blackmore where we had the pleasure of breaking in and getting a rare glimpse before you all fled with your tails between your legs a few minutes later leaving the other teams with you to be slaughtered). You accuse me of chest thumping but you should know what i said was entirely a satire of your earlier post - you claimed Moggridge and 60% of the suburb was in survivor hands yet i was able to pinata an empty Moggridge after travelling across another nine empty blocks within forty minutes of your post? For an example of "chest thumping" i suggest you just reread your post here.
You're undoubtedly going to claim that this is just more "petty complaints and accusations from the RRF" which itself is an entirely unsubstantiated accusation but no. This is entirely written by me separate to the RRF because i take great offence to your last paragraph, there are groups that come to Ridleybank who show us respect and actually leave us with some fun. You did neither and your assertion that you posed a challenge to the RRF is an insult to every single one of them. ♥ Moonie ^{Talk Testimonials} 12:44, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Moonie: "...a herd of level one zergs and other groups working with you..."

Moonie: "You're undoubtedly going to claim that this is just more "petty complaints and accusations from the RRF" which itself is an entirely unsubstantiated accusation..." Substantiated. --Bad Attitude Barbie^SDN 14:37, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Moonie: "You're undoubtedly going to claim that this is just more "petty complaints and accusations from the RRF" which itself is an entirely unsubstantiated accusation but no. This is entirely written by me separate to the RRF..."

BAB: "Substantiated." Unsubstantiated. -- Papa Jadkor ^{(RRF) (MotA) (MT11)} 14:47, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Thank you MHSstaff and Jadkor, for the return to impartiality. Now, let's brutally and mercilessly butcher each other in the streets of Ridleybank like gentlemen.--Penguinpyro 08:33, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

lulz. Yet another breather turns up for a few weeks hot off the work of an effective zerger (DDarling) and then starts to make pie charts based on wiki information claiming success. (I wish I had a pie chart of the number of Lord K combat revives that lead to piniatas around Blackmoar). This incursion has been interesting but not as effective as some seem to think it is and is way down the list for memorable ridleybank experiences that I have encountered in defending the bonk 24/7 for years. Thats my personal opinion based on experience of being here all the time, and seeing the survivor reactions on various forums and IRC channels. --Zed707 10:42, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

As a player who's had a survivor alt in Ridleybank over the past few weeks, and contributed a few news reports during that time, I second this comment: "Just because someone is spewing nonsense doesn't mean you should retaliate in the same manner (looking at MHStaff and Jadkor). If Babs continues with the mess, start moving the "reports" to this talk page". I think the mutual willy-waving about %ages should be removed by the contributors right away because it just makes people look a bit silly.

I must respectfully disagree with Jadkor about "hiding in border burbs" - Thurston has been in the Bank more or less constantly for about a month, with only a few deaths as a result - easily the safest I've known Ridleybank to be since I joined UD in 2008. Yeah, I know: n00b.--Mallrat ^{TSI TKS CTD} 12:11, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

I know you were in the Bonk and I saw the things about you getting eaten or been seen, ect. There have been times when there has been concentrated amounts of survivors in Ridleybank but I've seen tons of GC pictures of nests of survivors hiding in the borders in Roachtown, Pimbank and Stanbury while the RRF tears through buildings and has to go through 8 before we find a single survivor. I admit there there have been times where the Bonk has had plenty of survivors but you have to admit other times it's had a handful while everyone else was hiding. Babs and Co. were seen in Pimbank (Parfit Towers and Turpin building: 11 survivors who are said to be working in Ridleybank) just the other day when Ridleybank was said to be 80% safe. Evidence suggests that large numbers were hiding outside Ridleybank. We all know Squadron1111 did it's Ridleybank work from Barhahville and then later Roachtown. -- Papa Jadkor ^{(RRF) (MotA) (MT11)} 12:17, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
