GT here. There's something I gotta get off my chest.
This is not the glory of the past. The glory of the Malton Rangers was about sacrifice, about charging into battle against an opponent that mattered. Major Grippy's vision was a group of survivors, for survivors, to hell with what everybody else fought. The Channel 4 News Team gave them a place on their own forums, and a place in their Colossus. And what did the Rangers do?
They gave themselves to the command of a man known as Dickholeguy. Who proceeded to run the name and the greatness of the entire New Malton Colossus into the mud. Not just the Rangers. But the entire Colossus. You are a joke. Whittenside, which you claim victory in and declare that you have "saved", is ruined all the way through. What kind of victory is that?
The Battle of the Bear Pit wasn't declared a victory until the zombies stopped coming at Ackland Mall, and they didn't content themselves with simply barricading a handful of buildings and then abandoning ship. They got things done.
What's the point of all this? Simple, really.
I want a world where the survivors of Malton actually have a set of balls and charge into the undead hordes, as opposed to skirting the borders and sniveling about the big, bad zombies. Until you collectively grow a pair, attacks will keep coming. From a variety of groups. You cannot track us. You cannot trace us. You cannot defeat us.
Go back to your ways of glory and bloodshed, or continue on the path to self-destruction. The choice is yours.

Oh no, we're so scared. Look, you want to pk us, go ahead. You want to attack a group who is rebuilding ruined suburbs, go ahead. Or perhaps instead of being a whiney little bitch you can try to do something productive and join the group and maybe try talking to us and shaping policy yourself like any smart person would.
We aren't trying to make the suburbs green, we're establishing a foothold for the local survivors who then can make the suburbs green themselves. We're a nomadic group now. Yes, we enjoy a siege here and there but the game has changed and the Rangers have changed with it. The recent updates make sieges useless against an organized group of zombies unless the survivors are more organized. Don't think we're just a group of folks playing hero. We know what we're doing. Do you think Ackland would have held if you couldn't 'cade behind the break-ins to keep out the ferals? I really doubt it. Unless you can get a large group to log on to take out the zombies and recade quickly, a very difficult task for people with jobs/school/real life issues to do, the corner and the rest of the mall will fall. With a break-in of 35 zombies, this would be damn near impossible. So don't bitch about the old days because the old days are gone.
And face it, the Rangers aren't what they used to be, nor are the C4NT, the Librarians, or any other portion of the NMC. Look at the stats page, twenty-seven Rangers and not even that many actually coordinate with us. So don't yell about old glory, because the old glory is dead. If you want to revive that glory than join the Rangers and try to make a difference. I think I speak for all the Rangers in that we are stead-fast and won't be bullied. We will continue on the path we are walking and no amount of petty PKer politics will change that.

Very well then. Continue on your path through the red suburbs, following the trails of zombies and the footsteps of those who died because no one was there to defend them. Hear the northwest is getting plowed through. Maybe you can create some footholds there.

Like you said, the Ranger's shouldn't leave until the job is done, and we aren't done in Miltown yet. We've made a start but we aren't quite content with the way this place is looking, a tad bit too many ruins for us to leave yet.

Noah is spot on when he says the game has changed. I stopped following the Mall Tour after about 3 malls this year because it was pointless (as a zombie btw). Any amount of coordination on the zombie side is enough to take down a mall in days. Humans charging into battle is absolutely retarded now. About all you can do is rebuild. The second thing to look at is numbers. Look at the total Malton population now: 26,000. There are 13,000 standing survivors, so that's 130 survivors per suburb. Compare that to the RRF or the MOB. You would have to cram the statistical average of an entire suburb into one building just to have equal numbers to what an organized zombie group can bring to the table. Zombie groups have done a much better job maintaining membership levels during this long slow decline than human groups have. So you are left without the kind of organized, nomadic human groups that can make a real difference in a siege. 25 Rangers reinforcing a mall with 90 total inhabitants won't make a real big difference in a defense against the MOB or RRF. It wouldn't even make much difference if barricade blocking was removed completely. So what would Kevin need to do to fix this and restore some semblance of the "Glory Days"? First would be to nerf cade blocking, make it start at 10 zombies and slowly increase effectiveness from there. Second would be much more drastic. I think he should eliminate several rows of suburbs, shrinking Malton to 8x8. This crunch would force fill suburbs that would then provide additional mass that may allow some suburbs to offer resistance against zombie groups. Another option would be to somehow bring user levels back up to 45,000, but I don't see that happening. I hope Kevin has something else lined up to pay his bills, because UD doesn't have much life to it, maybe another year.
That was really retarded sounding.
