What now?

[Padre Romero]

I'll take one moment to laud the missions, events, group logos, and such that I've inspired because I'm not feeling well today and it's an ego boost, but I'll fit it into one very long word to save time and space:

*takes a breath*

now that that's out of the way...I understand what you're trying to say...however, since we're all still young, and nothing we will ever do in life amounts to a hill of beans in the cosmic sense of things, I'll take the advice of Kurt Vonnegut: "We're here to fart around". And I think me and jorm have done an admirable job of farting around...we're star farters, if you will...we help spread orchistrate communties of thousands of people, furthering the very human ends of happiness, togatherness, and killing zombies because otherwise college is boring for those without social agendas

I thank those of you with sound opinions for posting on this thread (even our esteemed rivals with rotting brains). but I'm afraid I'll have to add "locking this thread" to my list of accomplishments, since I think we've said everything that needs to be said.


EDIT: did you know I can edit threads after I lock them? I didn't. Anyhow, as to be more sensitive to the zombie community, Read "killing zombies" as "Killing zombies/eating humans".


EDIT TAKE TWO: This is a old thread with history and all that stuff, as it's still fairly busy, I won't lock it...however, lets try to bring it back around to what its used for: planning what's next.

Debates about My relevance, jorms relevance, Extinctions guilt, Paris Hilton's Innocence, Wes Mantooth's whereabouts, and the reletive hotness or notness of Kari Byron can be moved to the spam section.

HA! Awesome thread ... and yes the RRF-Gore Corps don't "cheat" cos they use CRF as a holding pen for their Caiger alts - all coordinated on the happy barhah.com forum along with whatever "pure" zed alts they run in MoB.

But yes - what's next folks? As far as the former NE survivor stronghold goes you've got Extinction expanding eastwards from the NW, and whatever you might think of the group its focus is on NT and TRP X:00 strikes while stirring up a feral zombie storm and I must say even I'm surprised at how well it's going. Lamport Hills just got run over and Chancelwood is next.

You've got EF doing over the suburbs to the south of those in much the same manner and headed in the same direction.

Then there's the very interesting LUE encirclement of Dulston expanding westwards from the NE corner.

And Salt the Land as a concept seems to be going viral - which was Extinction's main goal from the beginning cos no one UD group can do it. Neither Extinction nor RRF nor LUE, all of which together barely make up 3.5% of standing zeds.

By the way, the break up of Extinction into 3 separate groups is going really well. It's taking the whole concept of the extinction of revival, a Salt the Land concept, to a new level of meta-group coordination. There's Extinction itself which has always been the major X:00 force.

Then there's Extinction Guardians which like the CRF mostly consists at the moment of whatever second Extinction zed alts there are, which actually have always been rather few - for those anal retentives that can be bothered you can check the forum signups for the last 3-4 months and you'll find the majority of signups are single zeds. We're hoping that the wiki group will actually attract recruits suited to the Guardians search and destroy tactics in the low brain concentration dead zones.

Then there's the NTJ which has always been a very small focused Harmanz group within Extinction but is now released and going Malton wide.

Splitting into actual "one alt only" groups has given each of these groupings a renewed sense of purpose and guess what? None of them need multi-alts cos recruitment has been climbing at a steady non-stop rate since we first unleashed Extinction gameplay on the NW corner back in early June.

So yes - what's next indeed?

[Insomniac By Choice]

Tell Lukahn, one of your admins, to take one of the Extinction profiles out of his sig. Or at least change the group name in one of them to "Extinction Guardians".

Also, LUE ain't doing shit in the NE.

[jorm]

"Blah, blah, blah, we can't get shit done without cheating, blah, blah, blah, <insert trying to deflect our scumfuckery tactics onto other people>, blah blah blah."

[jleggitt]

Do I detect a bit of disgust for extenction there jorm.

[zeug]

Ha! Now you've got Jorm trolling other peoples forums?

Hello Jorm, how's it going? Nice to see you talking to me finally as you've run away and hid every other time. How're your barhah.com alts going by the way?

And Insomniac, yeh, give us a chance, the whole thing is barely 36hrs old. Oh and I find it very amusing you infer the stats rise of several thousand zeds was an Extinction zerg! Are you serious? We actually do have around 200 Extinction signups on the forum, are you suggesting every player on there is zerging?

Anyways, I'm not interested in Jorm's adolescent trollbaiting anymore, as far as I'm concerned Extinction Alliance now has the identical structure to RRF-Gore Corps/CRF/MoB on their multi-alt forum. Sorry Jorm, sweety, it was fun while it lasted but ...

What I am interested in however is hearing from the survivors what they think of this new environment we all find ourselves in. I think "ruin" has done something rather strange to the feral dynamics in UD and despite all the really stupid zed group posturing that goes on UD is a vast social network and it's the feral patterns that are the real driving force. The X:00 groups like Extinction and RRF can bust things up real nice but the real power is in how they unleash the feral population around their operations.

Then who the hell just smashed up treweeke, ransacked and ruined all our NT's, killed hundreds of survivors and turned Dulston and pescodside into hell holes?

[jorm]

See, what's funny is that, for some reason, you think that people actually believe you when you say that I have alts in the CRF and the RRF.

He was one of the biggest reasons I dislike Extinction now. Brainz told me you allowed a NTJ member and Extinction zombie knowing but encouraged people to have only one character, when no such thing is the case and it was obvious he knew.

I've never said I don't believe you have more than 100 members or even 200. But the only reason you say you're against sentinels is because its inefficient, not because it's wrong. Thus, if it became efficient to do so, why wouldn't you?

Actually I was inferring that many members made alts so that they could continue having fun with the game and holding territory at the same time and a few people in your group got organized about it to create sentinels. I don't believe Extinction created thousands of zombie alts, although I do believe some of your members have Extinction zombies without Extinction in their profiles so they can maintain plausible deniability about what they're doing. Because you've never given anyone any reason whatsoever to give you the benefit of the doubt about any game tactic that is possible.

I was responding to the idea of NE encirclement. We're actually a couple suburbs away from Dulston right now. We just came up for Treweeke, now we're going home.

[Padre Romero]

aaaannnnd...this was EXACTLY what I was talking about.

None of the issues here can be proved or disproved with any degree of certainty...that's the problem when playing in the masquerade known as the internet. My personal opinions (which mirror jorms and insomniacs) aside, this is not the place to discuss exactly HOW twisted I believe extinction is.

so....LOCKED


edit: and UNLOCKED...things have hopefully calmed down now

[Joshlegs]

So what's next?

I propose a massive revivification run throughout all of malton to try to get every zombie there is revived into human form.

[blanemcc]

Standing Survivors : 17488 (57%)
Standing Zombies : 13072 (43%)

How about that then?

Anyone know where extinction are? last I heard they were moving towards Santlerville, I haven't scanned the mob which recently pulverised St.Syridons but I will tommorrow, just to see if any of the zeds are from extinction.

[Welsfred]

I want to know why nothing is going on around the forts, there's like 800 survivors total within both of them yet zombies aren't attacking.

Am I missing something? Why aren't they doing it? Why don't the zombies play the way its meant to be with prolonged sieges and whatnot? Why isn't UD really fun anymore?

What am I supposed to do now? The Malton Rangers, to my knowledge, isn't doing jack squat anymore.

[Lord Wulfgar]

We're doing plenty in the NW where it's actually dangerous.

If you're behind the times PM jleggitt for details and such.

I don't really blame the zeds for staying away from the forts myself.

[showcase]

Extinction is in the NW and losing badly at this point
you really must understand, extinction is nothing more than 7 or 8 active people that roam around the NW with 2 or 3 alts in their different "Alliance" groups and wreak what little havoc they can.

Calvert is nearly back on its feet if all it has to deal with is extinction.
That will go a long way to bringing the NW back up.

Should be fun.
