I'd say the BBB is a "retired group" in the same sense AH is. But BBB isn't just retired, its HISTORICAL. We were given historical status after much debate. To keep historical status, we have to stay inactive, which is what we intend to do.

We? I'll be wearing the tag in my group profile to the end of the game.
To be honest, I'd rather not have historical status if that is what's holding us back from having fun again in the Blackmore.
It's about having fun, not about whether we'll get a link on a historical status page for a game that the majority of the world has never, and will never, hear of.
Edit: Also, I believe the RRF is back, or will be in force very soon. At the very least some of them are here. Cthulhu In Lingerie, a zombie of the RRF, broke in earlier and did some damage. So we might finally got a fight on our hands.

Despite only being around since the Second Battle, I still proudly call myself a bastard and I too intend to hold on to the tag till the game ends. After all who has more fun than the crazy SOBs who try to hold on to the heart of zombie territory.
It's especially fun when my roommate (an RRF member) decides he personally wants to kill me.

Leave them alone Tova. I think it's kind of nice how they think holding Ridleybank is hard to do.

Easy to capture. Not easy to hold. You're a delightful guy, Priz, but it'd be nice if folks stopped treating us like suicidal trenchcoaters. It damages the morale of our newer members We serve an important purpose for survivors (scroll up to the previous post). That's right. We can direct the actions of the RRF by helping to take 1 worthless suburb in 100 in all of Malton and then gloating about it on a public forum. We don't even have to make a secret of our motives, and Moloch will still come to fight us when we whistle at him. We obviously aren't the ones with our manbags caught in the hinges of the Blackmore's front door... In terms of numbers, the Bastards are a non-entity, these days, but we can still turn back one of the largest zombie groups in Malton away, driving them from the southern suburbs by teasing them. Name another group with fewer than 10 active members that can do that. Now we just need to find a way to get the Dead's goat on the same level. Wouldn't that be hilarious - 1200 zombies dancing to a tune played by less than 10 survivors? I hear those Dead really can dance. Hell, there are almost as many green suburbs now as there were before they showed up. Not the Bastards' doing, of course. It would take a goon squad to turn the largest zombie group in the game and fail utterly at their goal of reducing the survivor population to less than 25%. There are 1200 zombies out there with the stated goal of breaking the game because survivors are too silly, and we're holding a public funeral complete with pyrotechnics, and there's not a damned thing they can do to ruin it. In the same vein, the Bastards are going to gloat loudly, publicly, and with ludicrous hyperbole about our amazing victories over the pathetic zombies - not because we're trying to convince ourselves, but because we'll do anything it takes to get the zombies to chew on us instead of on a bunch of newbie survivors who are actually inconvenienced by death. It only takes me 1 AP to stand up, and I'm rarely dead for more than a day at a time.

Leave them alone Tova. I think it's kind of nice how they think holding Ridleybank is hard to do. I'm not trying to pick a fight, I've always been about class(I ran for mayor under a ballot of unity), I just have a soft spot for history. I don't mind these new bastards, and I understand the name that was given to them(Bastards Sons of the Blackmore Bastard Brigade) is a lot longer and harder to say(BSotBBB is almost as long as Bastards alone), but I remember the silliness that accompanied the BBB trying to get historical status, and I'd hate some naysayer with a thorn in his side for fun to try to use these people as an excuse to bash the bastards. You're a good guy Greg, sorry if I offended you and yours, but I was raised to honor history of any sort.

Fair enough, Tova. That's the main reason I've never tried to update the BBB and Battle of Blackmore pages and have discouraged others from doing so. Wiki drama is exhausting and stupid, and I'd rather stay as far away from it as possible, but if some jerks want to sanitize those two pages, I'm not gonna keep my mouth shut. I'm not enough of a masochist to knowingly create wiki drama I know I won't be able to sit still for.

Wow, I really did not mean for that to sound as dick-like as it did. You're a delightful guy, Priz I deny all of your false accusations. I guess my problem is the same as Tova's. It's the name that makes you guys seem trenchie. The way I see it, it's alot like the Cagier Mall Survivors. Wayyy back when, they did something big, and fun, but after it was done, everyone wanted to be a CMS member, and they ended up as arguably one of the most useless groups in the game. Even if you guys are accomplishing alot, the name makes it seem like you are just wasting all your time on something that happened quite a while ago. While the Big Bash and the like were ripping up the city, CMS stayed in their little suburb, and did nothing of value. I'm not saying you guys aren't helping now that The Dead are doing the same thing, but unless people take the time to talk to you and hear about what's really going on, it sort of looks like you are just sitting around in R-Bank wasting APs and effort. Also, it's sort of like the new DARIS thing. The old DARIS kicked ass (sort of), but even if Headless Gunner was a real SA goon, his DARIS is seen as just a lame knockoff that is just using the same name. I think that's sort of the image you guys project, even if it's not the truth. And I'm pretty sure it's not, since you are some of the smarter, better players on these forums. Anyway, I've read what you have to say, and I think you are doing alot of good for central Malton, but as long as you use the BBB name, I don't think people are going to realize that.

Heh, I remember that guy. You're right, we need someone like him around. Keeps us interesting, cause the zombies outside are doing a poor job so far of bringing down the barricades.

IAmRisen was a wonderful little prick. Made life worth living by helping to kill us.

Blackmore isn't really what we're focusing on right now. The RRF is focusing on Nichols and so are the rest of us.
They aren't going to attack Blackmore in full without first demolishing Nichols and Stanbury. So they're trying to hit Stanbury, and that's where we're fighting them at.
