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)
