Good work!! You should feel good that so many people noticed it! Although from seeing your names (eg The Suburb With No Name) I figure you may be a slight Clint Eastwood fan, why not name Eastonwood... Well... You know... D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 16:37, 1 April 2009 (BST)

DSS Red Zone Support

Hello again. Dulston, the once greenest of all green suburbs, is now one big ruin. Just take a look at the Dulston suburb page. Being part of only a small group, I don't really have anything to say, but help sounds always good to me. I think it would be best to contact the Dulston Alliance, we can be found here: http://z9.invisionfree.com/Dulston_Alliance/index.php .
Hope to see you around, Balcony Jedi^ELT|Talk! 10:02, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Penny Heights

Zip, just saw your news update in the Penny Heights page. I've been updating the suburb and building news for a while now, since the massive RRF incursion wrecked our pleasant little burg, and I've managed to put together a small group (too small, at the moment) to try and get organized to stop it from turning into a Ghost Town before the wrecks are unfeasably unrepairable. If you'd like to join us, leave a note on my talk page and I'll give you our location. If not, I'd greatly appreciate any intelligence you can give me on zombie numbers you saw in various areas, such as Joachim and Lumber, Odo General, Craddy NT, or any of the other significant resource buildings. I haven't been able to do direct scouting in several days. Thanks, mate - --DubStreet 08:41, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Zip, replying again on your talk page because it's been a while since we last spoke. Realized I forgot to give you our name, before. We're DSS Red Zone Support, and our focus is finding Red Zones (high danger suburbs) and lending support to the survivors there. We actually formed out of the chaos and confusion following the destruction of Penny Heights. For now, we've set up a field HQ in the newly recaptured Lumber Mall, and we're working to revive people and organize resistance. If you're still interested, Sophie and I would be glad to have you come join us. --DubStreet 03:20, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Hey Zip, just updating you: earlier today, Dub contacted me about recovering the Tomkyns Building, the mobile phone mast. I went there just a little too rashly, though, and got myself into a sticky situation, sort of a barricade-building competition with a zed. Or I hope it's ONE zed. Heh. Anyroad, I forgot to warn you, and now I'm worried about you. Zeds are eating your barricades, too, they were down to VSB when I left. Do try to move to another safehouse, if at all possible. Situation in Tomkyns is a bit tricky right now, you can't help me barricade and I don't think we can afford to play meat shields, so I'd advise against joining me here. I updated the group page, there's now a selection of buildings there we need status from, if you want to scout. Priority should be FAKs, though, I think, and I fear our local hospitals are ruined again. If that's the case, you may want to plan a run for Lucius General Hospital or St. Maurice's Hospital, bit up north in Houldenbank, see if they're lit, try and get medkits. A LOT of medkits. Here's a map. I may do that as well, actually, once I'm done with my metabolically-challenged friend here. Hugs to you, stay breathing. --Sophie Ames 21:07, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Hey George, just replied in my page, notifying you if you're not watching it. --Sophie Ames 00:57, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

George: I'm going offline for a bit now, will be back in an hour. Left a message for Dub in his page, explaining him my current "plan", such as it is. If you log in a bit later, and you don't see me there with you yet, please check on Rothwell and update me on the zed count. I'll bring a couple beers to the factory, eventually, for us to while the night - bit warm, but hey, we're still civilising this place haha. Note, though, this is not vital or anything; if you want to log out for the day, no problem. Hugs to you. --Sophie Ames 03:27, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

George: we still have no definite plan, as you can see :( But doc's with us now, and I have enough AP to CRAP 3 zeds easily. I told Dub, however, I would rather use them to revive helpful survivors - haven't got a reply yet. If I reach 50 AP, I may go revive our fourth member (there's a fourth now it seems!), and probably join you in that factory. Please update us on Rothwell and Tomkyns when you can - current inside zed count will be much appreciated. I cleaned up a bit our group talk page, addressed your comments that I couldn't yesterday, would like to know what you think. Good luck to you, and sorry to keep you standing by so long :( --Sophie Ames 20:03, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

We've got a fourth member now? Who are they, and where did you find that out? Sorry I haven't been replying, but I'm setting up the forum, and in addition to that, dealing with some issues from moving, which I just finished. --DubStreet 21:44, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Was talking about ZIPO, Dub. He said he may join us. --Sophie Ames 21:46, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Ah, I gotcha. Excellent! He should, it'd be great to have him on board. --DubStreet 22:27, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Radio

Hello Captain, I've tried to reach you via e-mail but apparently I didn't get through, so I'll try again here: after some time of real-life caused absence from UD in general, I realized that our group, the Electric Light Torchestra had lost our radio frequency due to inactivity of the group. Since we were really fond of this frequency (it was used to call us to deliver generators and/or fuel), I wanted to ask you how much you/your group cling to it, and if there's a chance that we could have it back. If not, I'd fully understand this and apply for another one, but you know, nostalgia... Please let me know your opinion on this.
Cheers, Balcony Jedi^ELT|Talk! 17:24, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Hello again, thanks for your quick response. This sounds like a perfectly good solution to me! Whenever we sent a transmission, we usually announced what group we were anyway, because there was another inofficial group broadcasting on "our" frequency. And of course, the ELT being a friendly and peace-loving group, we appreciate an alliance with other pro-survivor groups. I took the liberty to add your group to our Members & Allies page. Feel free to link to us if you feel like it. Now all we have to do is to claim the frequency officially. I don't know anymore how this is done, can I just add the ELT to the radio list? I'm looking forward to hearing from you and I wish your group all the best.
Kind regards, Balcony Jedi^ELT|Talk! 21:58, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for listing us. Stay in contact! Balcony Jedi^ELT|Talk! 10:30, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Escape

Orphaned Page

The following page(s) were orphaned, meaning they weren't linked from any other page on UDWiki. For house-keeping's sake, we are adding the link onto the relevant talk page. If you don't want the pages anymore just post them on the Deletions Page. You aren't required to do anything, but we'd appreciate if it you kept the link on any one of your pages. Please note that the link provided below will not remove the page from Orphaned Pages, so you'll still need to manually make a link for us. Thank you.

Your page, Escape, was not linked to on the wiki. This message is just to provide a link for it and clear it from our orphanage. --Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 16:12, 30 April 2010 (BST)

How's about on June 2, if we still are in the game o' course, all Escape members jump out the window in "The Woodborne Building" (0,44)? Please feel free to spead the idea on your broadcast, if it so takes your fancy.Chuckiferd 11:35, 20 May 2010 (BST)

• Interesting, but the whole 'Jim Jones' route just doesn't have as much punch in a place where death is temporary. -Captain Video 03:09, 19 May 2010 (BST)

That is fair enough, this is your project (afaik), but let me point out that the death is not temporary. In the event nothing happens 6/1/10 what do we do? I proposed we all collectively quit in an impressive spectical outside the Woodborne NT building, see? By the way, if you are still in the CORAM building you should take a near exclusive monopoly on the EBS, it has recently been subject to much spam by obscure broadcasters.Chuckiferd 11:35, 20 May 2010 (BST)

I voiced some thoughts on the suicide solution in tonight's broadcast, since I want people to stay abreast of the group's thinking. I've got a real feeling this will work, though - we're growing faster than ever. As for the EBS - I don't own it. I share it with CORAM, and we each use it to do what we believe it is best for. Also, could you sign your posts? -Captain Video 04:11, 20 May 2010 (BST)

Yep, that was indeed me. Thanks, I'll add it to the radio log.

H! harmanz!

Hey Captain, how have you been? Guess what? I was talking about how awesome your radio show was to the other zombies, and they just can't believe how awesome you are! They're jaws dropped when I told them about how cool CORAM was (literally in one case; poor guy spent ten minutes trying to get it reattached while drooling all over the place). I'm hoping we can work it into Big Bash 3 so that we can all get autographs. Hope to talk to you soon!

Hey captain just wanted to say hi. I was the guy who tried to join your group a while back, I saw you at the escape movement. Looks like it will be postponed for now, we'll just have to wait till mall tour when the zombies are busy or something. Heh. Just saying hi.
