Crap.

Shacknews has decided to attack Ackland Mall now. I confirmed this by spotting 17 zeds inside a ransacked building, 2 blocks from the NE corner. I say, we show them what we are made of.

I killed a couple of Shacknews Zeds yesterday that were haning out around the mall. I annoucned this to the mall, wish I could help now but I'm out of IP hits.

[englishmuffin]

I killed one of those 17. However, I won't be on again for 4-6 hours. I'll try and scout out some more.

[Joshlegs]

you know, it really doesn't matter how many ppl you have inside ackland. with even 30 or 40 zombies coordinated to attack all at the same time, there's not much you can do unless everyone in themall stays logged on 24 hours a day.

that's the reason the blackmore fell. Hopefully we'll be ok here. guess we'll find out soon enough.

[ian]

we held ackland with like 50 defenders once, we held the blackmore with 7 defenders once

[marty]

They were zombies who weren't all attacking together and who weren't using ransack to their advantage. When Ackland is attacked, it will go down as fast as Nichols. By this time tomorrow, would it surprise anyone if there was nobody left in Ackland mall? Because after what happened in Stanbury and Ridleybank, it wouldn't surprise me. Maybe it will take them a bit longer than that, but maybe not.

well, should worst come to worst, I think we head to shearbank, The PTT are mostly all in the level 8-15 range, and their extremely well coordinated. They also have a really good revive point. That being said, loosing ackland is not an option, all we have to do is just pop our heads into the police station they are in and pick em off 1by1 itll serve to really piss them off, and hopefully go elsewhere

[ian]

hordes move slowly, once there at somewhere they can do the damage, it'll be a few days before anything magor comes to ackland and by then we'll have moved on

and i expect the RRF will be loathe to leave the blackmore too loosely gaurded for awhile

[Joshlegs]

i agree, but i think it's still worth fighting to retake. as to popping off zeds, i say we take the initiative and kill them with headshots so they dont really have as much a chance to get in ackland. If we just wait around for them to break in, we'll have a lot less chance of staying, seeing as how they'll hit us in the wee hours of the morning when we're all conked out (or, in my case today, they could even hit in the early afternoon. )

[marty]

Save your ammo for when they get in the mall, and make sure everyone spreads out. The reason they took Nichols so fast is that people weren't well stocked up, and they were able to get in an unpopulated area and stay there because we didn't have enough ammo and AP to get rid of them.

Forestalling the inevitable may be, but if we are determined to fight, then let's do it properly.

First thing to do is set all the radios in the mall and surrounding buildings to the same frequency. What is the frequency for Ackland?

[Die Hard Girlyman]

I think ron has given the order to evacuate, We'll live to fight another day elsewhere, hopefully in blackmore

[marty]

So he has, let's hope people listen to him.

Unless we get the radios on the same station though, most of the mall won't hear anything we have to say.

[Joshlegs]

Yeah, i didn't know we had the order to evac. where's it at? and i spread the word by mouth if you can. it'll help.

also, revive queue at the cemetery went from about 39 to like 13 in just a few hours. great going scientists.

See the floated thread of ACKLAND and SHACKNEWS for info.

Basically we're splitting up into the surrounding buildings so Shacknews can't use them, and when they attack the Mall they'll have an empty shell waiting for them

[Die Hard Girlyman]

roight, hopefully we can hold out, after all theyll be walking right into a trap

[toxy]

That was the most delicious trap ever!

Please leave another one for us.
