Attacks on Bigger Mortice members.
Just to point out that our only enemies are Dragonhead. We are not pkers as such. We kill members of Dragonhead because of their crimes against us, and their crimes against the Zog of Marrinium.
All other players and groups are safe. We deem it a great shame that Dragonhead seem unable to fight their own battles. Signed: Bigger Mortice.--Zombiek 22:07, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

What's with the anti-DEM sentiment?
I am a bystander. I have never been in a group, but I have seen the DEM around. Now, I am seeing a lot of really violent and enthusiastic anti-DEM sentiment around, and I don't really understand, so I will ask you. Why do people hate you so? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Orionriver (talk • contribs) 18:47, September 11, 2008.
- Various reasons. Some people don't like how some of our groups operate, some people don't like our policies, some people don't like our tools, some people think we're arrogant, and some people have simply heard a lot of crap about us that isn't true.--William Told 04:35, 12 September 2008 (BST)
- Don't forget the respraying of barricade info with recruitment spam and insults! Oh, and this of course: "Some people don't like how some of our groups operate, some people don't like our policies, some people don't like our tools, some people think we're arrogant" --ScouterTX 22:59, 12 September 2008 (BST)
- Our folks are lectured never to spray over useful tags or other groups' messages, and it's been my experience that most don't do so. Usually when someone finds their tags have been sprayed over with a DEM recruitment message, the useful tag had been replaced by something inane (P00tie wuz heer, l0lz0rz) before our team tagged it. -- Atticus Rex mfu pif Δ 00:04, 13 September 2008 (BST)
- I'd like to point out that there is no way for any DEM member to prove that the Revive/Entry point was sprayed before they sprayed it.--Janine 14:11, 13 September 2008 (BST)
- Agreed. Just as there is also no way for our accusers to prove any DEM member maliciously sprayed over a useful tag. So it's a push. Except lately, nothing's a push, is it? -- Atticus Rex mfu pif Δ 17:55, 13 September 2008 (BST)
- But when you a wall with "Bill was here" sprayed on it. You automatically suspect Bill, not John. And the DEM works in assigned areas where they should know where the vital entry and revive points are. So shouldn't any DEM member who comes across such blind spraying, quickly spray it over with the correct message? It is common sense after all.--Janine 18:10, 13 September 2008 (BST)
- Lots of assumptions in the mix there: that all DEM work in assigned areas (they don't), that all DEM would intuitively know what the "correct" message would be -- that there is a "correct" message in anything but a completely subjective sense -- and even that all DEM have common sense. If you're speaking of a specific suburb or a specific DEM crew or a specific building or instance, by all means give us some details and we'll be happy to take it up with the DEMs in that area who may or may not be responsible. -- Atticus Rex mfu pif Δ 19:04, 13 September 2008 (BST)
- So you're saying that the ENTIRE DEM is controlled by the same command structure and that the DEM doesn't work in the suburbs it claims to be working in?--Janine 02:43, 15 September 2008 (BST)
- Uh, no, I'm afraid I don't see where you're getting that at all. But it doesn't cost me anything but a little of my time to take your grievance to the appropriate command person, once I figure out what suburb/building you're talking about. I'm not in business to piss off pro-survivors, so if our people are doing something they shouldn't be, and thereby making people mad at "the DEM," I have an interest in helping to stop it. -- Atticus Rex mfu pif Δ 06:09, 15 September 2008 (BST)

- @ Orianriver: William Told's answer up top pretty much covers it. Any further comments in this thread are pretty much just an expansion of his last point. --Jen 21:44, 14 September 2008 (BST)

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)
