I'll see what I can do, but the 100-150 zeds outside seem to be flailing without much coordination. I'm only seeing three or four survivors getting dragged out into the street, each day, and the revive points next door are usually empty even of rotters and death cultists.
There was a Polish novel I read a couple years back called With Fire and Sword - apparently won a Nobel Prize for literature in its time. It's about a war, and I won't get into the background more than that. Anyway, there's a scene where the heroes (soldiers in one army) are taunting the enemy soldiers (who happen to be from a country between two enemy countries that are always invading it). It was something along the lines of "While you're out here fighting us on our native soil, the soldiers of that other country that hates you are burning your homes and raping your wives and daughters. If you don't run away now, what's left of your house is going to be littered with the illegitimate children of enemy soldiers from that other country that hates you."
I think it kind of sounds like a Bastard taunt. The only way this suburb could be less in zombie hands is if the Upper Left Corner decided to declare Moggridge the upper upper left corner of Nichols Mall, occupied it, and set up a radio to broadcast spam from it day and night. I think the term hip young console gamers use is "teabagging."
That being said, I didn't want to just bring 100+ zeds to your doorstep without an invitation to do so. Maybe I should encourage them to retake Moggridge before they get frustrated with the futility of their current siege. Assuming they can emerge victorious when they outnumber the survivors 20 to 1 (instead of only 2 or 3 to 1), they might win back enough of their self-esteem to work their way up to, I dunno, maybe successfully clogging a revive point or even cutting our freerun path to Nichols for a few hours at a time!
