North by Bortheast 2010

Hey O! The Burchell Newscast Team is recording your current event.

http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/North_by_Northeast_2010

GREAT EASTSIDE RP CLEANUP

Hello Fortress! This is Dimmswick, from the Big Prick, inviting you to join us on the GREAT EASTSIDE RP CLEANUP. Doubtless you're all busy and whatnot, but there's about a month before it starts, so maybe you could send at least a few folks to come help us out. The east is a mess, and we could use all the help we can get. Thanks a lot, hope to see you there!

- Dimmswick 05:48, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Hello Dimmswick. Great to see another mega-operation about to get underway - Malton will dearly appreciate it! The Fortress has been running a joint mass operation of its own, which means that our two op's should overlap and run side by side at times - can't think of anything better! We began in the middle and we're down low at the moment but the east will be getting good coverage. With the state of Malton at the start of 2010 we also realized the importance of combining forces to emergency recover suburbs that might otherwise stay lost for good. Look forward to meeting some of you in one of many inevitable cross-overs ;) Jensonson ^{About Me The Fortress Talk BOOM TFN TV Promo Join} 18:34, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Blackhawk Nation - Alliance

It seems that we are both active in Shackleville at the present time. It seems like it would be beneficial for both of us to form an alliance and work together. You can check out our wiki page at Blackhawk Nation. We have twenty plus active members and would look forward to joint campaigns with you. --Cheveyo 09:11, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your offer Cheveyo but we are not looking to form an alliance at this time. Jensonson ^{About Me The Fortress Talk BOOM TFN TV Promo Join} 22:09, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Great Suburb Group Massacre 2010

	Group Confirmed.
	This group was confirmed active. Thank you for your reply.

All groups of any size are being asked. Thanks --^TCAPD(╯°□°)╯ ┻━┻ 23:35, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Active = Very yes. :P --Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 03:01, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Just as i suspected. Thanks for the speedy reply. --^TCAPD(╯°□°)╯ ┻━┻ 19:01, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

No Confirmation E-mail

I have yet to get a confirmation E-mail after i joined your forms. SO i can't post or anything. I've been sitting here a week now waiting. I got the E-mail to the Message board but that's it.--Ltpotter 00:23, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Weren't you kicked out of the DHPD for zerging and revealing confidential information to people outside the group? I believe you were. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 07:40, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

That incident was several months ago. So I decided to tried joining your group so i sent an e-mail to the place i was suppose to. I was accepted into your and now I'm just waiting for the commiseration E-mail... and for the record... AGAIN... I did not actually zerg. I proved I didn't zerg. --Ltpotter 16:20, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

I think you're mistaking me for someone from The Fortress. This just jumps onto my watchlist for some reason. I'll humour you about the zerging, what about revealing confidential group information? Should I ask the DHPD? -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 16:36, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Not sure what confidential group information was acctuly revealed. I never even learned where they got THEIR info from. --Ltpotter 01:02, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Dearest CORAM Allies

I am writing today to request a lickle favour. As much as we're kinda enjoying it, we're being daily RK'd and GK'd by Mormonpussy.

For sure, some of us have been spamming the EBS which in itself is RK worthy, and I hate to snitch, but we'd appreciate a little help with Mormonpussy's new in-game - game.

If you could be so kind, please report any Mormonpussy sitings on 27.50MHz, or simply rip him to pieces on our behalf. He's a pleasant enough griefer, but we could sure use some back-up. (Or if you hate us, join his Anti-CORAM group!)

Many, many thanks xxxxxxxxx --  ▧  ^{: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :} 09:38, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi there Lady Clitoria. Wow, that's quite a unique fan-club you have there. It's refreshing to see a "griefer" with a sense of humour and an actual care of the game. It's just as refreshing to see your reaction and I wish you all the best in "the game". Hopefully you'll get some vigilant Fortress members broadcasting some clues through your radio receivers - that's if Mormonpussy hasn't destroyed them all of course! Stay Vigilant!

Question

Given your repeated stance on zerging, why are you working with yet another group of zergs in Ridleybank? --Papa Johnny 14:09, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Papa Johnny - If you do have any evidence that we may need to review please could you email it to us: FortressApplicant@live.com

The only activity we have had in Ridleybank in March was Team Anaconda's recent game of Hide and Seek in and around Ridleybank. This operation involved plenty of RRF assassinations, which may have gained your attention as the zombie victims being shot, but it was not an inter-group game and so we were not working with any zombie or survivor groups. If you wish to send us a list of zergs you have recently encountered then The Fortress will gladly include this in our ongoing investigations against zerging. As the leading survivor group of UD we have a strong influence in being able to expose known zergers. However I recommend you always report any zergers to Resens.

The Fortress and the RRF have had a very long and friendly history in UD and I'd appreciate not being accused so casually. Jensonson ^{About Me The Fortress Talk BOOM TFN TV Promo Join} 23:38, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Forums

Sorry to bother you all. A guy from your group came over to the Clan's forums and asked me to come over to your forums to discuss something. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find your forum link (I'm assuming you like to keep it fairly private) so I haven't come over. I replied on our forums to your ambassador's message, desribing my problem, but he hasn't been back to read it. Can I have the link please, or maybe you'd like to arrange something else? We're allies, so I'm not gonna go spreading it around to our enemies or anything silly like that. ;) Thanks. --Jsrbrunty 19:40, 15 April 2010 (BST)

Sorry about that, it completely slipped my mind ... I joined your forum and sent you a PM. Let me know what's most convenient for you. ~ Prep ^{Fortress - BS}13:19, 17 April 2010 (BST)

Dispute on NSU forums

Hello,

I'm glad the trouble we had on the forums of the NSU is over. As you know the NSU has never declared war on a group and was hostile to no survivor groups when we were founded. Our enemies, including the FUACK, declared war themselves. Perhaps we could strengthen the relationship between our groups with an alliance?

Greetings, Cornholioo 6:46, 1 May 2010 (BST)

An Invitation

We at the MMS would like to invite our friends at the Fortress to join us in celebrating the coronation of our new Head Administrator and new Head Nurse. There will alcohol, naked twister, random displays of insanity, and much much more. (Which means I ran out of things to say and I will most likely be making things up as the party goes along.) Hope to see you there!

tinyurl.com/WBbash

I hope to be able to attend this! Congrats MMS, I'll see you on the IRC. ;-) ~ Prep ^{Fortress - BS} 01:34, 23 May 2010 (BST)

On Advertising

You've got an ad linked to this wiki page on the Urbandead AP-out screen! I think it's fantastic and would like to enquire about the likely frequency with which I'll be seeing said advertisement. --Visible One 05:45, 1 June 2010 (BST)

Hey Vis! The aforementioned ad was the brainchild of Miss Elainious and Avatorous and is run periodically on the weekends mainly (I think?). You would do better to inquire to Miss E directly as she funds that particular segment. Joining Fortress forum would probably be the easiest way of talking to her. Catch me on the IRC for the url. Cheers! ~ Prep ^{Fortress - BS} 15:39, 12 June 2010 (BST)

Time to take Fort Perryn Back

As an area survivor group, we are asking for your assistance in the repair and holding of Fort Perryn in order to resist the Big Bash as it comes ever close to your area of Malton. Please send any troups you can spare to rebuild and power the fort so that we may make a full showing against the horde. --Timerider3 20:29, 2 July 2010 (BST)

Recruitment

Concerning your group advert on the Category:Recruitment page, you may be interested to know that a vote is currently underway concerning the duration of time adverts can be reserved by a given timestamp. Your input is welcomed, and it should be known that if this vote passes you will need to update your adverts on a at least a monthly basis, not a two-monthly basis. Thanks. 00:43, 25 July 2010 (BST)

Is your Radio frequency still in use?

	Thanks for the Reply!
	Thanks Bro! Because of your timely reply, your frequency reservation will be preserved.

I'm sorry if this is an inconvenience or it seems relatively stupid when put into context of your group, but it is our interest to treat all groups on the same level when doing these purges. A reply within 2 weeks will be greatly appreciated. -- LEMON #1 13:04, 25 August 2010 (BST)

Hey, no problem. It just so happens that I'm extremely active this week. The Fortress is still active and I suppose on occasion we use the frequency listed on that page. Thanks for dropping by DDR! ~ Prep ^{Fortress - BS} 02:54, 26 August 2010 (BST)

No probs, thanks for the quick reply :) -- LEMON #1 03:08, 26 August 2010 (BST)

Dispatch from the Philosophe Knights

pH has been declared persona non grata and his diplomatic access revoked. If you wish to maintain an embassy, please provide an envoy not guilty of using privileged forum access to steal information from other games. His Imperial & Royal Highness, the Archduke d’Œuvre 

Thank you, Schoony, great job!

So my rotter was standing, peacefully, inside an empty, DWO and lit designated rot revive clinic, and who came along but Team Battlehawk's esteemed leader Schoony! That rot revive seemed as good as mine! But wait, what's this? Instead of spending 10AP to revive me, he's spent probably double that to headshot me and dump me out on the street... And then EHB'd a building that is supposed to be cade-free. Hmmm... Mind explaining yourself? --BOSCH 20:19, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Edit: Darn holidays! This is what happens when one tries to work fast and doesn't apply proper vigilance! Haste makes waste!!! Sorry, dude!

I will also note that the building was ruined when I went in today, and has never been uncaded since I came to the suburb (not by my doing) a few days ago. I've healed survivors who can revive zombies inside. I skipped over the wiki because of my experience with this building for the past few days. I'll make a note for the Fortress people in the area so they don't make the same error. Trust me, I would have rather had the ammo and the AP as well. If you want a revive, let me know and I'll see what I can do. Thanks to Hawke for letting me know about this post. --Schoony 20:24, 2 January 2011 (UTC)Schoony

For friendly future reference, rot revives are possible in any powered and lit NT building, regardless of the ruin status. In fact, I've seen many rotters who seek life often camp in ruined NTs, hoping that someone see the efficiency in dropping and fuelling a generator inside, and effectively combat reviving them all out before repairing. Today, the generator was already set up for you! But thank you for the apology, it's appreciated. --BOSCH 21:47, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

GSGM 11

	Group Active? Request.
	In order to maintain the wiki as an up to date source of information, groups are occasionally removed from the Suburb pages which they are no longer active in. We would like to know in what suburbs this group is currently active. Please list the suburb(s) you are currently active in.

Any response here will be enough, but please list suburbs you're actually active in. This is a generic message and not directed at any particular group. 23:57, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Although The Fortress combat teams constantly roam most of the burbs of Malton we are currently holding permanent territory in the following suburbs: Shackleville, Fryerbank and Whittenside. Thanks, Jensonson. Jensonson ^{About Me The Fortress Talk BOOM TFN TV Promo Join} 21:24, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Fortress Member Vandalizing of the Ridleybank Wiki

One of your members, Grevane, littered the Ridleybank suburb page with a lot of POV stuff that didn't belong (and has since been removed). One such thing was a claim that the RRF was unable to stop your team in Ridleybank until they got bored and left even though we have Iwits that prove they were indeed engaged in Moggridge Place Police Dept. and suffered loses. Editing the wiki to include giving the RRF the finger, lies about how they got out without a claw being laid on them, ect. You can also see how MHSstaff had to go through and return it to NPOV. The RRF believes in respecting it's opponents and all that stuff but the actions of your membership on the wiki has made it hard to do so in regards to your group. I've enjoyed talking civilly to members of your group before I became Papa and hope this isn't a reflection of how our future dealings will go. The RRF has never defaced your home suburb's page with POV crap and insulted your inability to defend it any of the countless times we've smashed it. We'd appreciate it if you'd help maintain the NPOV on our suburb page as well. -- Papa Jadkor ^{(RRF) (MotA) (MT11)} 19:06, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Hello Jadkor, at first I'd like to say that I'm not a superior of any kind nor a high ranked member of The Fortress, don't take my answer as an official answer in the name of the group but as Grevane's team mate on Team Anaconda I'd like to add my bit. I don't think he made the edits in bad faith, the "Ridleybank's Things to do" is clearly POV referencing the RRF several times. NPOV examples: "And if you can't come up with a good reason to scream the RRF will find one for you.", "The RRF and local ferals guarantee that if you're not dead by the third hour outside, then the brainz are on us!", "However, the recent return of the RRF has installed bloodbaths in many safehouses, please check with your masseur before relaxing.", "Feel free to do so, and when you see the RRF, keep in mind they want your shotguns more than your revive syringes." and "Don't kill zombies! - This pastime is widely in use for those that wish to remain breathing and/or keep all their limbs attached to their bodies!", now I don't think any of your members made those of bad faith neither but for me as an outsider it feels sligthly insulting. I didn't speak with Grevane about the case since I'm not his superior but I assume he could've got insulted as well, of course this is not a reason to insult other groups but Ridleybank page is, according to my humble opnion, clearly needing some edits. I think you should take into consideration that Grevane is a member of the Wiki community for just a single month and according to the Vandalism page: "We make the following notes on what isn't vandalism: An unwanted edit to any page." and "It is considered extremely poor form to automatically assume that a person's edit was an act of vandalism.". Well, I'm sorry if you or any member of your group felt offended by his edits, there's nothing I can do about the matter so I'll forward your message to our Commander. Thanks for your attention and I hope our groups can work, if not together, at least in a good relationship in the future. And yeah lol, the finger thing was unnecessary... ~THOROAEBORUS 19:53, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Of course the RRF is mentioned often on the suburb wiki, the group has been there since 2005 and it's hard to separate the history of Ridleybank from the history of the RRF, so just because it is often mentioned does not make it POV. However there are parts that are POV, however we are willing to work with survivors to fix that. Even some of Grevane's POV comments were edited by RRF members to be NPOV and show both sides. Ridleybank is also one of (if not the only) suburb to display barricade plans for both sides. And yes we shouldn't assume some's edits are intentionally done in bad faith but if you go through the history and look at them they are clearly meant to be insulting and derogatory to the RRF, I doubt you could spin it any other way. And some claims are just lies, as you yourself can not dispute because you died in the incident. While you guys were found and killed in Ridleybank during your mission Grevane would have those not present believe that you guys were out of the suburb when that happened, him claiming you were long gone due to boredom and what not even though you were in fact there and the suburb was returning to ruin before you got out. Given his direct insults and lies it's hard to see it as anything other than being done in bad faith without insulting one's own intelligence. I've pointed out mistakes to new wiki members and we've gotten on fine from there but when I attempted to discuss such a thing with Grevane he removed my comments without addressing my concerns. If a Ridley had done a similar thing to the Fortress or any other survivor group they would be reprimanded because even though they did it on their own authority it reflects on the group as a whole. I do hope for continued civil behavior between our groups, while we chase you and you shoot at us. PS. That pic is dated from Feb. 19 while his wiki edits say you were long gone on the 15th. Also all TRPs were recorded re-ruined over the next day and a half that followed the taking of that pic. -- Papa Jadkor ^{(RRF) (MotA) (MT11)} 20:30, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Well, I never said we weren't killed, if you check OP Dead Space at our Operations Archive you'll see that we acknowledge the death of "many members", as stated there. I didn't write the OP's description but if you think it's also insulting tell me and I'll modify it. Checking our forum archives OP Dead Space was ended at the night of 19th Feb after our primary objectives were accomplished (the suburb went from red to orange and then yellow in the course of a week) but I don't want here to sell the qualities of neither RRF nor team Anaconda, I don't see how this has space in the discussion which was initially about Vandalism. I think you're taking this too much into personnal level, I never said I wasn't killed nor that I'd dispute such a thing as you were supposing and also, as I said, I don't have authority to reprimend anyone in the group but I've already forwarded your complains to my Commander, what will come out of this is his say and not mine. If you want to know what he'll do with me or anyone else you'll have to wait for his reply. Last thing: I agree that he was insulting on some of his comments and that it's sometimes hard to separate the history of RRF and Ridleybank itself but my point that some of those statements (those at the "Things to do") are overly POV and unnecessary is still valid. ~THOROAEBORUS 21:13, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

I didn't want you to take how I involved you as some implication of guilt on your part, I was more using it to illustrate how Grevane was blatantly lying about the RRF only ruining it after you left on the NPOV wiki even though evidence from both sides goes against what he said. And I actually read your report and I have no problem with it, and if I did it would be irrelevant because it is your group's page and not a public one. I just want to stress that my being upset isn't targeted at you or your group, I merely believe that we can't let the fact that someone who was angry they got eaten justify them lying and posting POV stuff on the wiki. I was simply bringing this to your group's attention so they would know how the public actions of a member is negatively reflecting on their group and harming the civil attitudes that had previously been the norm. As for the Ridleybank wiki the user MHSstaff does a lot of wiki stuff and if you two put your heads together and swapped ideas I'm sure you could address the issues you have so it's balanced for all. -- Papa Jadkor ^{(RRF) (MotA) (MT11)} 21:29, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Papa, I'm the CO of Anaconda and as such the buck stops with me, I'm sorry for any offense, the Fortress has always had a good relationship with the RRF (all be it on different sides.) The RRF did ruin the PD while we were still inside and even killed a few of our members, I myself was down to 12HP when I did a tactical retreat. --- User:Puppiemaster 21:34, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

I am going to chalk up a lot of this to the guy being somewhat new to the wiki, somewhat excited about venturing into Ridleybank with one of the oldest survivor groups in the game, and probably didn't really get the whole suburb NPOV stuff. All we are really asking is when you do make edits to the page, try to keep some element of NPOV to your edits. So you rocked the hell out of Blackmore? Yeah you did. Awesome. Update the news page with that mofo. But don't go out of your way to provoke groups for the sake of provoking groups with pointless propaganda. Yeah, not really your fault. Yeah, not really the Fortress's fault. Not too big of deal. Just something to keep in mind for next time.

I do agree with you that there was POV on the page before he edited, and I removed some of it from our side. My take with the other section that you mentioned is "eh, harmless, whatever" but if you feel that it does not belong, make changes and we'll find some compromise. Having one of your members give us the middle finger, although absolutely hilarious in a five minute MMO browser game, probably isn't the best step in that direction.

Long story short: Not really that big of a deal. Everything is cool. Keep your edits somewhat NPOV. -MHSstaff 21:36, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

This is why he handles the wiki stuff, he's more level headed :P -- Papa Jadkor ^{(RRF) (MotA) (MT11)} 21:43, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

No action shots? I am highly disappointed in you all. If you lack the good sense to employ a proper photographer, the least you could have done was take some snaps during the festivities. Perhaps one of the partiers still standing in the “After” shot could oblige? His Imperial & Royal Highness, the Archduke d’Œuvre 

Well at least it makes a change to be PKed along with a bit of inventive chat - I'm used to self-glorifying boasts when I'm PKed, or at least the boring silent treatment. And no, Miss E, I can confirm that they didn't pay for the drinks! :(

Oh, by the way, that club is not the famous Fortress Two - it's just a club but we enjoy partying there anyway and also best of luck to the DHPD as they soar away at the top of the survivor groups list ;)

As you asked, and just this once, here's that action shot you asked for. pic You think we wouldn't have a CCTV camera catching all the commotion? :p

Aww, but we had so much fun! Also we see someone vandalised the lovely generator we gave you as a gift. That's just rude! We wanted you to be able to dance and listen to music and stuff. We may have to bring you another at some point. As for the drinks thing, well first of all a good number of us are ladies and you should have been getting US the drinks. Also most of you had clearly had too much to drink - you were all napping by the time we left, it's just as well we didn't make it worse! Domino Harvey 00:57, 13 April 2011 (BST)

Thank you sooooo much for letting us host our royal wedding party in your club! We know you said don't come back last time but you obviously didn't mean it. Hee hee! Anyway, sorry about the mess and try not to break the new generator. You can't party in the dark and those things are hard to find. Hope you had as much fun as we did!

Cooperation request

It seems that our groups have targeted the same goal. Capt Drop kick has just restored a common target building. The MUM has plans to restore the immediate area - let us cooperate and pool our resources.

(a copy of this notice will also be posted on the discussion page of Lucy Daniels, our Fortress Ambassador)

Your presence is welcomed - let's coordinate our efforts.

MUM's the word...

Mayor MC Cheese 05:45, 11 May 2011 (BST)

Hello Mr. Cheese, unfortunatelly Lucy Daniels is unable to transmit messages at this time but I'll pass it to whoever is concerned. Thanks for coming and someone will be contacting you shortly. ~THOROAEBORUS 20:54, 12 May 2011 (BST)

G'day Mayor. As Thor said, unfortunately Lucy is no longer able to act as the Ambassador to MUM. I'm the Fortress DoC (and actually in the team with Capt Drop Kick). If we're talking about the same building, it was the last step in that Combat Team's current Op and we have now been retasked to another area. We are certainly concerned about the activities of the Dead and if you like, we can discuss coordination more securely on our forums (as you already have an account there). Sac 23:49, 12 May 2011 (BST)

Please read this asap

Screw the Dead

The Dead is by far the greatest challenge that Malton has yet faced, purely by its vast numbers and speed of devastation, but The Fortress and other major survivor groups relish the challenge and are determined to succeed. We urge smaller groups and individual survivors to keep on the move and stay very, very vigilant!

We regret that The Fortress cannot commit large resources to the Luckraft Bank party but we are constantly looking for opportunities to help pro-survivors seeking revives, heals or help, and we will continue to aid and assist wherever we can.

Your member?

I was wondering if Officer Kerry [1] was your member or just another goon using a fake tag? Thank you. --Johncleese 00:25, 23 June 2011 (BST)

What a lucky time to randomly check our chat page... Nope that person is not a member of The Fortress. Furthermore they are listed as a past PKer and therefore there's a good chance they wouldn't be accepted if they did apply. Has there been an incident with this character? --Sac 15:16, 24 June 2011 (BST)

As Sac says, he's not one of ours, in fact that particular character is known to falsely use group tags and has previously used a fake DHPD tag. He's believed to be a member of The Dead. --Miss Elainious 17:45, 26 June 2011 (BST)

Hi Mazu! Thank you very much for the screenie, much appreciated! I hope you enjoyed the party, it made a nice departure from the usual 'you eat me, I shoot you' cycle of Malton don't you think? If any of your friends are interested we might be up to trying it again sometime. ;) --Miss Elainious 17:33, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

By the way, nice choice in saving Katie for last. She is sweet, like a delicious dessert!:D --Miss Elainious 20:24, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Your welcome for the sceenie, it was a quite interesting party. I would have to agree Kate was rather tastey.       22:39, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

A Request from a friend.

Hello, my name is Seth_Jenkins. I would like to request a new alliance with the Fortress. I am a representative of The Grayside Demons. I personally think we should definetely re-allie as In this time in Malton we need others. I find many PKers are moving in and we've noticed an increase in Zombies; however no Increase in survivors at our end. We have a forum page you can go to at http://www.graysidedemons.com/Forum/index.php and take this further. Thank You and Good Luck, Seth _Jenkins

I'll pass on the message and someone should be in touch shortly. Barbara Wright ~ The Fortress 19:44, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

G'day Seth. I've just registered on your forums as Sac001 so shoot me a PM there and we'll have a chat. Sac 21:58, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

OUT!!

Could someone let peeps know that I'm out of the VC (why wasn't I eliminated for inactivity?). Thanks. Be back soon.  CrunchyCake  T  ^{Breakfast Club} 07:01, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Who is your Fortress character? That would help in passing the message on? Barbara Wright ~ The Fortress 09:57, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

I've updated the VC thread. Thanks Barbara for bringing this to my attention. You were still in the VC because we were keeping an eye that you were active and alive (which you were) and your regular newspaper slaps were appreciated, so I hear! :p Jensonson ^{About Me The Fortress Talk BOOM TFN TV Promo Join} 10:08, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Requesting Alliance

Malton Safe Zone Security is a group sought out to make at least one area or building tightly secure. Many groups already do this but unfortunately they do it with several buildings and areas, which results in their lines thinning and eventually losing control very easily or eventually. MSZS Plan to make safe zones for many Survivors in a single secluded area for newly spawned players or Survivors running into hiding. MSZS also attempts at servicing nearby Hospitals for added defense.

Malton Safe Zone Security wishes to gain an alliance with The Fortress, due to it seeming to have similar ideas and plans.

Malton Safe Zone Security can be contacted directly by their Talk Page, or for a quicker response, on their Chiefs Talk Page.

Malton Safe Zone Security humbly apologizes for the mess, it and it's Chief are undergoing make overs. --Jerrack 05:41, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for enquiring. Someone will be in touch. Please sign your posts in future.  CrunchyCake  T  ^{Breakfast Club} 04:29, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

That was completely my bad, I had been rushing things all day. My deepest and utmost apologies. --Jerrack 05:41, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

G'day Jerrack I'm the Director of Communications for The Fortress. I've got a bit on my plate atm but I'll be in contact with you withing the next 48 hrs. Sac 11:08, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

That is fully understandable, you may contact me anyway you wish. I have Yahoo (IM/Email), or the contact areas I gave. If you would like to use, ask or use, I will be here. --Jerrack 18:05, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

Leaving already?

According to that wee gobshite Rumble Strip, you're leaving Gulsonside already, despite not having achieved anything noteworthy yet. Why so soon? I don't think you even held the mall for a day let alone put all the lights on. :D Is this what the Fortress has been reduced to, even in a largely green and gold city?--Mallrat ^{TSI TKS CTD} 13:31, 24 April 2012 (BST)

As you may know the Fortress has many teams and other mobile and non-mobile units, I don't know what team was there but I'm sure they either: 1. Achieved their pre-selected goals; 2. Are relocating to a higher priority area in need of assistance or 3. Are relocating to another area due to ally or other team's request. It must also be said that not all Operations involve the participation in sieges, while they provide refreshment every once in a while and many people love them, many times we pursue other objectives. ~THOROAEBORUS 23:43, 26 April 2012 (BST)

Sure, and we've no bone to pick with The Fortress as a whole as you've provided entertaining opposition from time to time. In this case I am just baffled as to what those pre-selected goals might be. We'd expect something more ambitious from any Fortress team than, say, 'occupy a corner or two of a mall for a day' followed by a lot of bluster. I guess it's possible that the all-mouth no-trousers Mr Strip isn't actually one of yours; he's certainly not doing you any credit if he is. :)--Mallrat ^{TSI TKS CTD} 15:23, 27 April 2012 (BST)

They retook the Mall so it doesn't look like the zeds are putting much of a resistance after all. Also, there's much more to UD than sieging, as I've said before. If you check, for example, some of our operation archives you'll find among other things reclamation ops (Operations Southern Comfort, Ghost in a Shell, Dead Space), competitive ops (Operations Deadliest Warrior, Pirate's V Ninja's, Elves Vs Reindeers), for-fun ops (Operations Hide-n-Seek, Meatshield, Pub Crawl), achievment ops (Operations Proxy, Chimera Chain Kill, Chain Gang), ally support ops (Operations Black Ops, Relight the Spark, Dribbling Beavers) etc, each of those operations have different objectives and I don't see why holding Blesley ranks so high on your list. Also, we've got no member called Rumble Strip. Cya. ~THOROAEBORUS 16:51, 27 April 2012 (BST)

Well, I was sure you were a member of the Kilt Store and didn't even stop to check wether you had other characters you mighty be speking in behalf of. It seems I owe you an apology, when I said "I don't see why holding Blesley ranks so high on your list" I thought I was speaking with a survivor who wanted to lay siege on some mall, not a zed who had Blesley as its home. However my other points still stand: there are other things to do and there is no Rumble Strip in our organization. I'll let my CO know of your desires for a siege, I can't make any promises though and I've no way to know if it'll ever happen... ~THOROAEBORUS 02:00, 28 April 2012 (BST)

Yes, I'm here on Clubbed to Death business. From a Clubber perspective, during this latest breather incursion (MEMS, some UBCS, random breathers and long-time CTD opponents, maybe a Fortress member here and there) the mall has not been out of our hands for more than a day. However, Rumble Strip is talking himself up and referring to the Fortress as having achieved some kind of glorious victory so if you see him you may want to slap him with a newspaper for speaking on your behalf.

PS we're not asking for a siege; if people want to come and try to take our mall, we will outwit, outplay and outlast them - as with all other survivors who have come, seen, and lost. :)--Mallrat ^{TSI TKS CTD} 08:39, 28 April 2012 (BST)

Strategic Fuck Up

This. Nice job, ruining a perfectly good plan the Wulves and I devised to slow down ACG zergs. You guys repaired a pinata, yes, but that pinata was there as a result of a minor collaboration between Cobra and the Wulves in order to defensively combat the ACG zergs in the area. See, most of ACG's targets are hiding out in that bank there, and from some scouting some nights ago, I found most of the ACG zergs hiding east of the bank. The church that was pinata-ed was the shortest route for the ACG zergs to reach their target, and as such, through some strategic planning, I came up with the plan to pinata that church, and the Wulves green lighted that plan. So you guys taking down the pinata effectively screwed over a defensive tactic to force the zergs to spend more AP. If you don't believe me that this plan was green lighted by the Wulves, feel free to ask scouteric or SoloDogScout for the details. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 20:12, 24 June 2012 (BST)

On another note, if you wish to pick at the strategic mind of Axe Hack and his plans for combating zergs in the greater Wyke Hills area, I'm available on irc almost 24/7. Server: irc.nexuswar.com, channels: #OrgXIII or #udwiki. I'm naught but a mastermind strategist, after all. ;) --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 20:26, 24 June 2012 (BST)

Thanks for letting us know, Axe Hack. To be fair, I'm not sure we got the memo that that's what you were doing, nor do I think the other survivors in the area are aware of your scheme either. If you're going to use zeds in that way to combat zergs, you may want to consider educating the locals (as you've done for us in this message) so that people aren't always undoing your hard work. I'll let the Fortress leadership know of your plan. Thanks! --Lucy Daniels 20:45, 24 June 2012 (BST)

I have a small request. Any instances of ACG active you may have screencapped...Can I get those screens? I wish to study each and every instances of ACG active to see if I can find a pattern, and ultimately, a common timeframe of when they're active on each and every day of the week. Even the smallest details in screenshots can reveal quite a pattern if you compare screenshots on a daily basis. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 04:33, 25 June 2012 (BST)

Special Tactics and Rescue Squad

So I'm not exactly sure what happened, only entering into the conversation halfway through, but there has been an incident in East Grayside between members of The Fortress and members of the Special Tactics and Rescue Squad. I'd appreciate it if I could talk with one of your diplomats, either on our forum or on yours. I'd prefer there be no more bloodshed on either side. --Meinstorm 01:23, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

I'll pass the message on to our alliances people. One should be in touch with you in the next day or so, if not let me know. Barbara Wright ~ The Fortress 09:20, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

G'day mate. I'm the Director of Communications for The Fortress and I've just registered on your forums under the name "Sac001". I'm happy to discuss the issue via PM with you there --Sac 10:45, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Anyone there?

Ho, my name is Conski McGoo and we're looking for alliance... Me and Terrorist Ninja recently quit our old Group due to order just stopping... So we have made our own Group with the aims of protecting the phone masts and helping get UDs numbers up... Here is a link to our page Church of Static or CoS for short.... Not sure if you still this page so this is a shot in the dark... --Conski McGoo 11:48, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

This is the right place! I'll get someone to get in touch with you shortly! Barbara Wright ~ The Fortress 13:17, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks Conski. Since you haven't got a forum up and running, send an e-mail to FortressApplicant@live.com with your details so we can get you set up on our forums and have a chat. Sac 13:55, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Application to join up follow up.

Evening Fortress,

I contacted you via the email address given here a few days ago and have yet to receive an acknowledgement.

Just wondering has it been looked at.

Many thanks,

Jane Dear 01:43, 12 June 2013 (BST)JD

I've passed your query on to the Powers that Be. Hopefully they will get in touch soon, but if not don't hesitate to ping us here again and I'll chase it up. Barbara Wright ~ The Fortress 10:57, 13 June 2013 (BST)

Ah! I see you've just been added to the member list. I'm assuming you've received a response!! Barbara Wright ~ The Fortress 11:01, 13 June 2013 (BST)

Great Suburb Group Massacre 2013

I'm a volunteer helping to do some janitorial work on the suburb pages of the wiki. As part of that, we're double-checking in which suburbs each group is active. Currently, you're listed in one or more suburbs, in addition to using a radio frequency. If you would like to continue being listed, then please respond within the next month with the radio frequency you are using and a list of every suburb where you are currently active. If we don't hear back from you or we can't get the information we need, we'll be removing you from the lists, but you're welcome to re-add yourself later. If you have any questions, feel free to visit our informational page. Thanks. -- ^{FoD PK Praise Rando!}08:42, 24 October 2013 (BST)

We'd like to remain listed in Shackleville, but you can remove us from any other suburbs. There doesn't seem to be any interest in keeping the radio frequency either, so that can go. Barbara Wright ~ The Fortress 15:20, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks.-- ^{FoD PK Praise Rando!}20:00, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
