This is C4NT fashion reporter Winkalt …Reporting the newest spring trends seen in Giddings mall this season,where the new spring collections are being shown with dozens of disappointed guests standing around outside the Mall,since they can not find a seat.
The excitement and expectation was palpable and each morning show started late because there were people waiting to get in. The latest trends featured unusual combinations and funky designs .
Here it must be said that while the morning and afternoon shows were well attended ,,the Moorish NT was packed to capacity for the couture shows.
Bad Attitude Barbie rocked the Moorish with a killer combo of black and white.
While trend setter Marcel Swan ungirds for battle with a futuristic minimalist flare of safety goggles and studded leather collar accented only with a well placed toe tag.
Some surgeons and zombies are now citing increased interest in syringes among people wanting to look younger and "fresher" for the ever-competitive job market.
C4NT fashion reporter Winkalt staying classy Malton.

fudging the facts a bit to further discourage zerging. Yeah, I get that and I appreciate it. I guess I just felt like venting a bit about The Dead.  And yeah, I'll remove the Resens mention because it's probably prone to drama. How about this: "You don't have to like ZHU or Resens, but they are a force to be reckoned with, and if you piss them off, you might regret it." It basically says the same thing but a little more neutral and with some ego stroking for them involved. Also, I read the rest of it now, and I thought of a few other things you might add. I understand tinyurl is the traditional choice for URL shortening, but I like bit.ly actually better, as it gives you 5 more characters for great win. Could be a factor when trying to squeeze a recruitment message into a graffity. Second, you might add cade strafing to the strategies section, especially concerning the difference between 6AP for ruining/1 AP per day for repairing and 1AP for cading below VSB/average 4AP for decading in the best case, which could go a long way towards AP draining zombies. And finally, a thought on groupless survivors, the stats page and a quick Excel calculation tells me that there are currently 2325 players in noteworthy (i.e. stats-worthy) groups. That means less than a fourth of players active in the last day are in a group, or if you consider the stats page's overall active player count of 17207, only a very tiny fraction of players are in a group at all. I don't really know what to make of this, but it probably means that a large part of the players, for whatever reason, will never join a group. But, as I said, a nice read and I learnt a lot. +Karma for the effort. |

I have only read part one so far, but it seems a sensible guide, and it's a nice read. Of course I don't know that much about leading or forming groups since I'm relatively noob. But two things come to mind: First, you make some allusions to historic/existent groups that you don't really explain - for example that people don't like Resens or ZHU, or that some group fell apart due to zerging exposure. Now I don't know if you can explain such things in detail on the wiki without drawing heat and drama from the respective groups, it just made me wonder sometimes. Second, on the zerging matter. It's probably a good thing to advise people to stay off it, but I think your view is pretty optimistic. I understand Extinction was pretty badly hurt from their public admittance of zerging, to the point of being ostracized from the zombie community and whatnot. OTOH, I have the strong suspicion that The Dead are massive zergers, and apparently I'm not alone in that. Nevertheless, they're still pretty strong and successful about it. I think if a group acts in public as if they do not condone that behavior, and vary the profile names of their zerg alts a bit, they can get live with that quite comfortably. Sure, maybe they have some zerging alt change their group tag and act as if they kicked him out, or have an account or two banned, but in reality, Kevan's banning is not really effective, and zombie groups don't have much to fear from bounty hunters. Of course the zombie anonymity also helps. I'm speaking from my experience, as well as fudging the facts a bit to further discourage zerging. And yeah, I'll remove the Resens mention because it's probably prone to drama. |

Welcome AWWNN.hope you enjoy the quartly ....and as a special treat on Valentines day .....
This poem was sighted in the description of An RRF member visiting our library, id=1554619…Gyles Zednik .
It seems not all those brains have been eaten for naught.
Enjoy.
Who disturbs the library?
What motley menagerie
would bay their sloven calls
to echo through the hallowed halls
of our blessed Quartly?
It is not the rotted portly
whose wailing husks are strewn so bloody.
The dead, it seems,
are here to study.
Just a few of the unexpected delights available only in the library ;D

from our captain,
Good day to you all. This is Captain FaMzNeSS here, director of field operations for the Dunell Hills Police Department. I am reaching out to all allies and survivors in an effort to seek coordination for a major operation that we are planning for March 1st 2011.
For far too long the Dunell Hills Police Department has been unable to successfully control the suburb in which we hail from. Invasion after invasion has ravaged the area, and with the permanent occupation of "The Dead" it has made capturing and maintaining the area almost impossible.
Over the past month, the DHPD has had small successes in the area, but due to the sudden resurgence of some Dead members it has made it extremely difficult to keep any one area secure for more than a day or so. But all hope is not lost. We know we can finally retake the homefront if we had the support of allies to flood the area in a mass shock and awe campaign. Ladies, gentlemen, and any combination there of, allow me to introduce you to:
Operation: March Against the Dead
Target Date: Beginning Tuesday March 1st 2011
Purpose: To coordinate with all allies of the DHPD and any other survivors that wish to help to finally retake Dunell Hills from The Dead.
Plan: Starting off with a mass operation to flood the heart of Dunell Hills, we want to take the Dury Building and fill it with Survivors to constantly maintain a Revive point and barricades for the entire Suburb.
From there, we will have teams take the rest of the BZD triangle, which is Broadbelt Grove Police Department and Zephyrinus General Hospital, securing and maintaining those locations. We will also have teams spider cading outward to retake the rest of DH, getting the rest of the suburb properly caded as per the barricade policy and lastly lighting it up like a Christmas Tree.
We greatly appreciate any and all allied coordination on this matter and we look forward to working alongside everyone. Help us make this a great success and finally show the dead that they aren't welcomed in Dunell Hills, and more importantly help us finally return home.
Thank you,
Captain FaMzNeSS
Director of Field Operations.

Hey, zombiekiller23. You need to do a couple of things here, first you must pass the Recruitment Quiz: wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/Malton_Rangers/RecruitmentThen you need to post your profile link here so that we can confirm you are fully committed to killing as many zombies as possible. Then I will contact you with the secret information.  |
