Buttonville is a suburb of Malton, located in the south of the city. A few residents held the brief opinion that this suburb should be referred to as "Cheeseville" based on a poll on one group's public forum; efforts to replace the suburb name in this article were considered vandalism under this wiki's NPOV rules and removed. It continues to be known as "Butt-ville" by several dirty-minded residents, but no effort to "correct" this article has emerged. It is occasionally abbreviated to "The Button" or "The Butt" (the source of many jokes by degenerate locals) and can be referred to as "Bazzanb!rrh" in kiZombie by players with Death Rattle. The suburb currently has no other common aliases.
Buttonville contains the western half of Buckley Mall.
Many residents, survivor and zombie alike, prefer to be referred to as "Buttonvillains".

Revive Points
|
Survivor groups advise visitors not to sleep in Buttonville's resource buildings. These buildings are generally high-profile targets for zombies, and due to the UBP-compliant Barricade Plan the local groups uphold, tend to be less-heavily barricaded; survivors sleeping inside make these tempting targets into all-you-can-eat buffets as well.
Zombie groups, on the other hand, advise visiting zombies that survivors rarely take their own advice, and that most VSB buildings do turn out to be buffets after all.
Besides Buckley Mall, Buttonville has:
- 4 NT Buildings (the Fort Building [47, 90], the Brazey Building [48, 91], the Tebbett Building [48, 96], and the Pryor Building [41, 98])
- 2 Fire Stations (Whittem Place Fire Station [41, 97] and Garlick Square Fire Station [48, 98])
- 1 Police Station (Ranson Boulevard Police Dept [47, 92])
- 1 Hospital (St Soter's Hospital [40, 91])
In addition St Soter's Hospital in NW Buttonville, two hospitals lie just on the border: St Agatho's Hospital @ [42, 89] near NW corner in Kinch Heights and Julie General Hospital @ [50, 97] near SE corner in Wyke Hills. Near the NE corner in West Grayside is Piran General Hospital @ [50, 88].
Radio
Survivor groups strongly recommend that radios and transmitters in Buttonville be tuned to:
- 26.84 Radio Buttonville
Zombie groups strongly recommend that radios and transmitters in Buttonville be eaten.
Most survivor groups and unaffiliated survivors, including Buckley Mall residents, have adopted the Radio Buttonville frequency for mutual defense and ease of suburb-wide communication. Other theoretically applicable but largely unused (in Buttonvile) radio frequencies are as follows:
- 26.15 - the DEM SW-5 protectorate frequency covering Dartside, Spicer Hills, Williamsville, Kinch Heights, as well as Buttonville
- 26.45 - The Williamsville Defense Coalition radio network currently covering Spicer Hills, Dartside, Williamsville, and Buttonville.
- 28.01 - Many PKers find it is harder for their victims to report them to the Rogues Gallery if the required screenshot is filled with miles upon miles of spam radio messages.
Revive Points
There are three operational revivification locations in Buttonville:
- a cemetery [44, 93] (south of St Columbanus's Church)
- wasteland [47, 95] (west of Hutchin Bank)
- a cemetery [40,98] (south of St Aidan's Church)
Survivor groups in this neighborhood adhere to the policy of No Random Revives (not affiliated with the Randoms); which usually requires one to register one's in-game profile ID on a Revivification Request Tool to prevent reviving PKers. Revive policies in the suburb include (but may not be limited to):
- The Randoms request that revive-seekers use their revive request forum. Most other groups in the area monitor this revive queue.
- The Department of Emergency Management prefer that revive-seekers use the DEM Revive Request Tool. (Some groups in the area may monitor this queue.)
- PKers request that Revive Technicians perform their duties without bias or moral judgment.
- Zombies request that revive-seekers greet each other, as well as any harmanz who happen to wander into range, with a friendly bite, then sing and dance for a bit (because everybody likes a show while they stand in a queue).
Historical: The St Aidan's Church [40, 97] was an early revivification clinic starting in November 2005. It was closed in October 2006 to simplify the revive points given there is a Sacred Ground cemetery one south.

February 4th Buttonville's been fairly quiet. Today, however, a small horde of about 15 zombies, mostly from the group The red sparks (carnival club of cologne) have broken into Ranson Blvd Police Station and knocking on doors of surrounding buildings. --ZaqWer 01:25, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
January 2009
January 22nd I have initiated a proposal to declare Pryor NT building an EHB building instead of VSB. With this, I have also initiated a proposal to open warehouse [42,95] as an entry point as there are few in that area. If you would like to comment, please do so on the Buttonville Barricade discussion page. --ZaqWer 05:08, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
January 20th Buttonville has been maintained very safe for survivors recently although there have been occaisional break-ins at various entry points. In particular, some entrenched zombies have been biting survivors inside St. Columbanus Church on a daily basis. --ZaqWer 17:46, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
January 19th 25.96 MHz: External Military "... streets are looking clear in Buttonville ... suburb's lit up like a Christmas tree ... can't see a single ruined building either ... Buckley Mall is operational ..." --Aximili44 19 January 2009 (UTC)

The Setdance Film Festival run by Thulsa Doom's Temple of Set arrives at Halliley Cinema. All copies of heathen movies are destroyed and replaced with copies of "Conan The Barbarian".--Not A Character 11:40, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
December 13th There are a total of 22 zombies scattered in the neighborhood. Only 3 zombies at all three revive points. Barricades are generally nominal (though Fort NT is ruined at this time). Generators running in nearly all buildings. Now, where are those Christmas lights? --ZaqWer 18:55, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
December 9th Well more than half of Buttonville buildings have barricades, and although zombies are disruptive of survivor plans, with frequent break-ins, there appear to be fewer than 50 non-revive-point zombies. (Adjusting status to moderate.) --ZaqWer 03:28, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
December 5th Complete survey of Buttonville: About 120 zombies are outside, however, almost 50 of those are at revive points. Adding zombies inside, total number of hostile zombies appears to be around 100. Approximately half of buildings are ruined including Pryor NT, Tebbett NT, Whittem Fire, St. Soter's Hospital, and the mall. Fort NT and Brazey NT buildings were barricaded and generated today, however, with double digit zombies outside, that's not likely to last. --ZaqWer 03:12, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
December 4th Although many zombies have moved on to Williamsville, zombies are still primarily in control of Buttonville. Most buildings ruined, with more repaired each day. But zombie presence is high enough that repaired buildings are often ruined again the next day. --ZaqWer 23:03, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
