The south part of suburb is mostly ruined. TRPs under siege. Status should be Red. --Strstr 10:10, 24 July 2008 (BRT)
- I agree. Changed.--Elizabeth Bickell 18:29, 24 July 2008 (BST)
July 23rd
Fackerell is down, and there are 21 zeds within a roughly five-block radius of the Millett Walk Fire Station. The Station has been breached. Cades are back up to Heavily, but they're unlikely to hold there for long; two zeds are inside the building.--Elizabeth Bickell 01:07, 24 July 2008 (BST)

Lots of ruined building with zombies inside.. 13 zombies waiting at Opalinska Road.. -Janus Abernathy
July 14th
On a quick scout through the suburb, saw no ruined buildings and very, very few zombies. No one is waiting for a revive anywhere in the suburb that I saw.--Elizabeth Bickell 02:57, 14 July 2008 (BST)
July 2nd
Break-ins are rare here; many buildings are lit and remain safe at VSB. I see no reason why this 'burb shouldn't be green.--Elizabeth Bickell 02:00, 2 July 2008 (BST)

May 5th
No ruined buildings, all TRPs lit, virtually no zombie presence, revive lines short or nonexistent. The only problem is some relatively serious over barricading. Downgrading to green.--FT MCI 06:32, 5 May 2008 (BST)

Alright fellow survivors, we need a plan. The only way we can get Spracklingbank back is by working together and taking out the zombies as a group. Anyone have any ideas? --Sergeant Sam 18:48, 31 March 2008 (BST)
- I know!!! Let's give Kyle AIDS!!! C'mon guys, let's go!!!! No? We can't give Kyle AIDS? Alright, you come up with a better plan, then.--AViewAM 02:07, 1 April 2008 (BST)
March 27th
Spracklingbank has apparently been designated a ghost town. With 12 zombies around the Millet Walk Fire Station as well as at least one on every major block I saw, I believe that a solid red would be more appropriate. Up for discussion--AViewAM 23:24, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
- Cornelius General Hospital is at EHB with 17 survivors inside - i think the status should be changed to red --Kenny Larson 13:11, 31 March 2008 (BST)
- He's right, that hospital is still standing, plus there's zombies in every block. I think Spracklingbank warrants a red status.Lbgrowl 21:08, 5 April 2008 (BST)
March 23rd
Millett Walk has fallen and is being swiftly followed up by the buildings standing around it. Welcome to hell, folks.--Elizabeth Bickell 23:45, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
Cornelius was in the process of falling when I passed through. The southern half of this suburb is falling, after the loss of Giddings Mall.--Kingofallpie 16:55, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
- Parts of the northern suburb are, too, especially around the Millett Walk Fire Station.--Elizabeth Bickell 18:03, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
Warehouse, Stanser Arms, and MacMillan completely ruined in one night. Several dead. Recommending a status upgrade to orange.--Nurgul 11:08 AM (-5 GMT), 23 March 2008 (UTC)
- I agree. Done.--Elizabeth Bickell 16:43, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
March 22nd
Dewell is ruined, as well as Chippet PD. 11 zombies inside Dewell, 31 outside.--Scott Timewell 21:55, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
March 19th
Dewell continues to change hands frequently.--Scott Timewell 01:17, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Dewell is now powered and in survivor hands. Not enough people, badly need reinforcements. 50 + Zeds outside. - Dumonsti 04:55 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Dewell is extremely heavily barricaded, but 75 + zeds are outside. --Ira Wiefel 23:33, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
March 18th
The Dewell Building is heavily barricaded without power. Chippet Grove PD is ruined.--Scott Timewell 00:34, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
March 17th
Dewell NT is ruined. 10 inside 51 outside. Chippett PD just North of it has 10 outside and 11 inside with cades recaded back to VS+ (run guys, run) but not looking good with that mob to the South. Needlesareus 00:25, EST 17 March 2008.
March 16th
The Millett Walk Fire Station was broken into several minutes ago. The doors have been secured and it is re-caded to VSB, but there are still two zombies inside.--Elizabeth Bickell 20:15, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
- The situation now is no better. Lightly barricaded, 3 zeds inside.--Elizabeth Bickell 23:12, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
March 15th
The Dewell Building now has 40 zeds milling about it, probably looking hungrily to Giddings Mall two blocks south. -- Holtzfeller 15:55, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
- There are still around 40 out there, break-ins occurring on the regular. Requesting assistance *hint hint MWFD members*--AViewAM 04:31, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
March 12th
The Dewell Building was broken into! Barricaded up to heavily, one zed inside. I repeat: one zed inside.--Elizabeth Bickell 04:26, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
March 11th
Rennie Auto Repair, Grandfield Alley School, and the Coss Building are standing again.--Elizabeth Bickell 00:22, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
March 10th
Rennie Auto Repair, Grandfield Alley School, and the Coss Building have all fallen and been ransacked by zombie forces. Help is needed.--Elizabeth Bickell 03:40, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- Also, downgraded the suburb to Moderate. Most buildings are standing and barricaded, even if it's a constant fight to keep them that way.--Elizabeth Bickell 03:40, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
March 4th
Seems there are organized zombies strikes with EHB buildings being trashed even with good survivor populations. But not red as there are good resting spots. Opalinska Road RP is getting a waiting list, especially with survivors like Zombiehunter Eugine killing zombies in it and slowing down the revive process. Please check the RP locations in the burb before killing. But really you should be saving your ammo for something useful. --Needlesareus 17:16, 4 March 2008 (EST)
March 1st
All resource buildings are occupied by survivors and most buildings are baricaded. Downgraded level to orange. --Squibman 19:57, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

February 27th
The suburb is in disarray and overrun by zombies. It's complete madness. No building is truly safe--think twice before spending the night in Spracklingbank!--Elizabeth Bickell 01:04, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
February 21st
Millett Walk Fire Station has fallen under a fresh zombie onslaught, as well as Fackerell Auto Repair and Rennie's Auto Repair. Help and revives for the dead are needed and greatly appreciated.--Elizabeth Bickell 23:58, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
- I suppose this means further study must occur now with the Centre. Ah, well....--AViewAM 00:11, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
February 20th
Tambling Library and Rennie's Auto Repair are currently in ruins. There are six zeds outside the Millett Walk Fire Station, and six zeds outside of Rennie's. Help is needed.--Elizabeth Bickell 00:37, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
February 14th
Spracklingbank is almost entirely rebuilt and survivors are returning to the suburb. There are still many zombies about, but the survivors appear to have a hand (or at least a finger) in the running of the area again.--Elizabeth Bickell 01:16, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
- In light of the above, I've updated the danger level to Dangerous.--Elizabeth Bickell 01:27, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
February 11th
Still seven zeds outside of Dewell, but it appears to be holding its own. In addition, other southern buildings in the suburb have been rebuilt and revives are beginning to trickle into the revive point at Opalinska Road. There are still fourteen zombies there, with three dead bodies on the ground.--Elizabeth Bickell 02:59, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
February 10th
The Dewell Building is standing again and at Very Heavily Barricaded. Lights are on inside. There are seven zombies outside, probably trying to get in. Help for the survivors would be, I'm sure, welcome.--Elizabeth Bickell 03:53, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
February 9th
Some of the buildings in the south, including the Cudworth Lane Fire Station, have been rebuilt. Is life returning to the suburb?--Elizabeth Bickell 03:20, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
February 3rd
Nothing living could be found in Spracklingbank this morning. The carnage seems to have spilled over to neighboring burbs.--Not A Character 12:32, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
February 2nd
The Big Bash has arrived in Spracklingbank and ruined the southern half of the suburb. The Dewell Building has fallen too.--Valnar Illjanowitsch 00:57, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- Due to the large number of reinforcements that arrived to aid the zombies in taking down giddings, the big bash has nearly doubled in size reaching a staggering count of around 500 zombies. The pace at which the big bash destroys suburbs is thus expected to double, the entire north west is likely to be obliterated starting with sprackingbank The man 22:30, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- A large part of the north end of Spracklingbank, especially around the Millett Walk Fire Station, is now in ruins.--Elizabeth Bickell 03:05, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

January 31st
Spracklingbank begins to buckle down in case of an attack from the second Big Bash. The Dewell Building is back from a ransacked state and running again.--Elizabeth Bickell 01:07, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
January 24th
Southern Spracklingbank has finally been hit by the run-off of the stagnant Big Bash 2 just across the border at Giddings. Counted 20-25 outside in the south alone, and another 5-10 in the central regions: 4 each at Chippet Grove PD and the Millett Walk Fire Station and 20 inside the ruined NT building. A call has been put out to any survivors not currently fighting the Bash to reinforce Spracklingbank; zombie forces, meanwhile, are rotting comfortably, lounging indolently about the ruined Dewell building and flipping greenish, decayed birds to both the mass of humanity defending Giddings and the ARFCOM holdouts at Chippett.--AViewAM 03:48, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
January 23rd
Millett Walk Fire Station is once again under siege. The doors to the building have been secured and there is one zombie inside. Help and FAKs needed!--Elizabeth Bickell 19:46, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
January 18th
The siege is over, all zombies dead. Barricades at VSB. Please bring revives for the dead.--Elizabeth Bickell 22:18, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
January 17th
The Millet Walk Fire Station [84, 32] is currently under siege, with two zombies inside the building and four outside. There is also one zombie outside the Coss Building. Eight dead bodies are currently outside the building. The cades have been knocked down from "very heavily" to "loosely barricaded." Help would be appreciated ASAP. --Elizabeth Bickell 23:26, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- No more zombies inside the building, barricades up to VSB and verging on EHB. Please bring revives for the dead outside.--Elizabeth Bickell 04:00, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
January 15th
The new year has brought an increase in the number of GKers and PKers sighted in Spracklingbank. Several members of the Gore Corps have been sighted/killed and the number of break-ins is on the rise, especially in the central and south regions. The situation is still fairly safe overall but survivors are asked to exercise caution while traveling through the suburb. --AViewAM 00:11, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

The Vellacott Building and Cornelius General Hospital have had break-ins. Other than that, the suburb is mostly safe. --Darth LumisT! A! E! SR 01:01, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
December 21st
In front of the St Clare's Church are 3 Zombies (and 4 dead bodies) who are bringing down the barricades. Could someone with the right skill bring it up again to very strong? --Oa2004 21:04, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks --Oa2004 22:13, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

With the hospital back up within a day or two and most of the horde dispersed at this point, it's looking much safer in eastern Spracklingbank. --evilbob 18:15, 25 September 2007 (BST)
September 18th
The Cornelius General Hospital has fallen to the ferals of Spracklingbank, Army of the Dead, and last but not least, the Reanimations! Proof that a group of determined zombies can overcome any foe they set themselves against. --Secruss 01:17, 19 September 2007 (BST)
- It does seem as though ~150 zombies from multiple groups have finally managed to overcome a couple dozen survivors inside the hospital after months of seiging. This one mega-horde is nearly enough to qualify this suburb as "very dangerous," although the rest of the area is not currently being threatened. --evilbob 02:31, 19 September 2007 (BST)
- Tragically it is the case that CGH fell, many honourable zombies took part but sadly a large number of dubious foes aided in CGH's destruction http://img210.imageshack.us/my.php?image=zergerscumvy8.png The valiant defenders of SE Heytown are now determined to overcome such cheats and are securing the surrounding area... --

Cornelius General is once again under attack, with a handful of zombies inside, and barricades currently not being refreshed fast enough to counteract them. The Mad Craskers are on the scene, at least to some degree. Feel free to stop by and help out if you have the AP. Charleston apologizes to the craskers, as he was attempting to down the few left inside to be dragged out without having any reliable damage dealing skills as of yet. There's more than a few inside now, so all in the area are encouraged to stop by and lend a hand, or bullet, as the case may be.--Finitethrills 13:10, 10 September 2007 (BST)

Was passing through on my way to Fort Creedy and happened to see Cornelius General Hospital under attack by 45 zombies. 'Cades were still at EHB, though, so there may be quite a few survivors in there as well.--James Ennis 22:37, 1 September 2007 (BST)
- You don't say, James? Actually, the siege of Cornelius has been going on for some time. The Mad Craskers, with help from the Dribbling Beavers and others, have been defending the hospital from various zombie hordes for a couple of months now, with varying degrees of success. See the entry for August 14th below for more details. If you are in the Spracklingbank area and looking for a place to rest or to defend stop by cornelius. The Mad Craskers are a dedicated bunch and a group that is a pleasure to fight and socialise with. --calista griffin 22:40, 1 September 2007 (BST)

August 24th
Northeastern and central Spracklingbank are largely ruined with zombies actively breaking in and dragging survivors out of the very few standing buildings. Southwestern Spracklingbank seems to be standing; however, no word on western Spracklingbank. At the very least, this 'burb is Dangerous. -- NeenerNeener 17:23, 24 August 2007 (CST)

The Reanimations have joined the fight in Spracklingbank. May the harmanz of Spracklingbank be educated in the ways of barhah! Glory to the horde!--Secruss 17:54, 17 August 2007 (BST)
August 14th
Now entering its eighth week of being attacked, Cornelius General Hospital now has close to 100 zombies outside its doors. Even though the Killer Zombie Tomatoes continue to lead the assault, the Mad Craskers and other survivors remain optimistic, believing in the old saying, “if life gives you tomatoes, make bloody marys”. Residents of Spraklingbank are urged to aid Cornelius and bring with them more vodka and celery. --P Jack 00:02, 15 August 2007 (BST)
August 9th
Although the survivors still hold Cornelius the zeds are continuing their month long assault to gain entry and several members of the KZT have been seen bashing away at the barricades. No one is entirely sure why the zeds are so relentless but some believe they’re after all the tongue depresses for their little zombie arts and crafts projects. --P Jack 23:41, 9 August 2007 (BST)

There is still a horde of 32 zeds outside of Cornelius General Hospital. Survivors in the area may want to lend a hand helping with the threat. --Blanemcc 10:44, 25 July 2007 (BST)
July 21st
The siege at Cornelius General Hospital continues with the Undeadites leading the charge. A theory has been developed by the Mad Craskers as to why they are relentlessly trying to gain access. A zombie by the name of Creeping Crud was overheard in the waiting room saying "GRAB MAH ZGANGAH AZZ AN GAG AHN MAH BANANA HARMANZ!”. It has been suggested that it is not in fact brains the zombies seek but a cure for the itchy rash that seems to have developed on their buttock. The humans are now testing this theory by placing tubes of Preparation H like bread crumbs down the street in hopes that the horde will follow.--P Jack 22:34, 21 July 2007 (BST)
July 17th
The Undeadites and friends continue their relentless assault on Cornelius General Hospital in SW corner of Spracklingbank with over 110 dead or undying outside the doors. The hospital staff and the Mad Craskers refuses to run and is putting up stiff resistance. Although the hoards break in almost hourly, the survivors are dispatching them and throwing every last wheelchair, defibrillator and I.V. stand back into the barricades.--P Jack 01:20, 18 July 2007 (BST)
July 16th
The Cornelius General Hospital is surrounded by 34 Zeds.....and we are hungry! Please be kind enough to baste yourselves in BBQ sauce overnight before our feast. Feral groups are rallying to the LUE battle cry. Come on...come out Neville! We already ate everyone at the Cudworth Lane Fire Station!--1818korea 16:38, 16 July 2007 (BST)
July 15th
The Chippett Grove Police Department was ransacked by LUE and feral zombies, killing about 55 survivors, and the Dewell Building was ransacked again, as well, killing a few more. South Spracklingbank is now quite dangerous as spillover from the attack on Giddings Mall continues, but the rest of the suburb should be secure.--Insomniac By Choice 11:16, 15 July 2007 (BST)
July 14th
The Dewell Building has been taken by a small mob of zombies. Will this blast against survivor economy slow down revivifications? Will the survivors manage to take it back in time before the adjacent buildings fall? Time will show. --Ssraak 12:41, 14 July 2007 (BST)
July 13th
To the people of spacklingbank: Stop executing zombies seeking revive at the cemetary and oplinska road, that is considered Pking
July 12th
To the NT people who revive: There are a horde of zombies heading to you but there are alot of people who were killed in Pitneybank who are looking to be revived. Nikolai7
July 11th
Any human who revives a zombie who has clearly stated in their Bio that they don't want to be revived is considered a PKER. Revive points are then fair targets for the undead. If you want a fair game then don't continue this course of action.
July 8th
pk-er Kyrtox pked at least 15 people in the chippett grove police dept., saying "ah no-one will miss a few non-descript survivors". he must be hunted down immediately.-(allaghan)ps i need revive

Cornelius General Hospital is coming under increasingly heavier attacks from the Undeadites and ferals over the past few days. The zed numbers out side has risen to 50+ and they’re constantly knocking on the cades. Although the hospital still remains in survivors’ hands, it is advised that more able bodied defenders report for meat shield duty to help keep it that way.
June 19th
I (videogame loser) was killed today by "Psnap" in the Dewell building and as I was standing at a revive point was also killed by "Tigr". Watch out for "Psnap" especially, he came after me with no warning. He is a PKer so watch out!

Residents of Spracklingbank see the boasts of Spracklingbank falling and wonder at what point this happened, as far as they saw the zombies came looked around couldn't find any survivors and ran away. Spracklingbank never fell, it was never assaulted.
