Zombies outnumber survivors for the first time ever, as far as I know. That's at least partly because of the creation of the Dead, but the number has been slowly creeping up, which makes me wonder if some poor bastards are sitting in revive queues in ruined suburbs waiting for a needle.
Stanbury Village has no shortage of zombies (map shows it as Very Dangerous), but the mall and Went NT are currently intact, and the revive queue at Yeoman is moving right along. I urge folks wanting a revive or a place to restock to come to Stanbury Village. I have an alt shambling with the Dead in the NE, so I've seen enough of their speed and destructive power to believe that they can crush the Village whenever they want.
It the suburb dangerous? Absolutely. The RRF is knocking on our doors, and there are about 45 zombies outside of Went. But in a way, the fact that Stanbury Village is marked as red is the very thing that is deflecting the attention of the Dead away from it. It's already been noted that they're drawn almost magnetically to green suburbs, and when those are all gone, I suspect they'll shift their focus to crushing yellow suburbs. I'd rather take on the RRF plus MOB plus all the other zombie hoards in the game combined then have to go toe-to-toe with the Dead, which is ten times the size of the RRF.
If you're dead or low on supplies, come to Stanbury Village. Get patched together. Restock. Pick up a new kilt from the fine Kilt Store. Stay, if you like, or go out to do glorious battle in other suburbs, again. Do it while you still can, because as soon as someone marks the Village as merely dangerous or (even worse) moderate or safe, the Dead will be back to finish us off.
I'm no defeatist, but I think greatest obstacle to the Dead's apparent goal of wiping out virtually all survivor resistance in Malton is boredom. If this is indeed an invasion by Something Awful as I've heard people say on the wiki, their interest in the game won't last for long. Boredom ultimately drove off both Shacknews and LUE. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that if survivors learn that their suburb is the next target of the Dead, they should probably abandon it immediately and flee for a RED suburb far behind the attack wave - one the Dead already consider conquered and so hopefully aren't watching very closely. How's that for unconventional strategies?
This has been a hard month for survivors.
