I was just in the chat in time to catch marty (one of our men, though he said he doesn't post on here much) and get some information from him. He brought news of a group known as Shacknews. If you take a peek at the stats page you'll see that they've got 221 members. A zombie group of course, else I wouldn't have given it much thought. They're currently rampaging through Stanbury Village. Tearing down barricades and making that fair suburb inhospitable. The Necrotech was taken already. Their next goal is apparently Nichols. Assuming that they can overrun that, they're moving to the Blackmore. That means we've got 200 more of the stinking rotters coming. Now, two links involving them (I haven't throughly looked over these yet, but I'm sure I'll get around to it eventually): www.shacknews.com/jazz/search2.x?query=blackmore&user=&type=all&action=searchwiki.urbandead.com/index.php/ShacknewsI think Nichols might need some reinforcements. I also think the Blackmore can spare it. The break-ins haven't been as bad the last few days. I'm thinking that if we hold Nichols a week or two against them they'll just get bored enough to mosey directly to the Blackmore. Then we can re-inforce that again. Anywho, figured I would bring this to the people's attention.

Shit shit shit! This would mean we're effectively taking on 500 of them- 600 if FU shows up, like they say they will.
I really wish more groups would be proactive and start fights instead of joining the ones that are already underway.

Guys, Lets not panic...
First off, we've barely tapped the potential recruits in this city. Second, Shacknews is new at this...they know what they're doing, but not quite as well as us. Third, We can always save face by doing a disippearing act now Fourth, we are TOTALLY more classy than them...so, we're already ahead in principle.
Sometimes, you just have to look yourself in the mirror and say "When in rome..."

A dissapearing act? Going by you fellow's standards, that wouldn't be classy at all now would it. I won't be leaving even if the rest of you decide to pack up. I'm not really in a panic either. Just thought you'd like to know. Me and smithy are talking in our chat channel right now (you know, #nmc that I gave instructions to but no one really uses. We really should start.) and well Smithy noticed another thing. The Big Bash is going to Randallbank. If you don't know where that is, it's one suburb northeast of Ridleybank. So we'll probably be getting some "spillover". Things sure are looking interesting. I'm going to be gathering a last batch of supplies soon, as I don't think I'll have time for that in a few days.
And Ron, I don't know anything about your interactions with other groups or anything (I'm just a simple soldier, but I do like to term myself a General of the battle) but from what you said "They only join battles already underway" Well it looks to me like this is about to be going full tilt. Wrangle em in boyo!

Sorry to double post, but this deserves attention! As of right now, the upper right corner of Nichols mall is empty. There are 27 zombies inside and it has been ransacked. The doors were shut but nothing else. There was also 4 zombies in the Lower right corner. As I mentioned before, I went down there to get a last batch of FAKs before they closed in on us. Good thing I had the AP saved when I did I suppose. This is Rockby Quickfoot bringing you the newest information from the frontlines. On a side note, a friend of mine in the Blackmore building just died. Her name is NKFM (short for No Kree For Me) and I would appreciate it if someone saw her at the revive line to give her a revive. She just came yesterday and already got killed twice. She's brought tons of ammo with her though and we can use an extra arm. Here's her profile: urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=360630

It's over for Nichols- no way in hell they're clearing that out and repopulating the corner (there were 5 or 6 people in the upper right last I checked, Shacknews must have spotted the weak one). We should tell them to fall back to Blackmore immediately- that is, before we lose the other few hundred people in there and end up with a revive line with twice as many people in it as are in Blackmore.
There are 40 very coordinated Shacknews zombies inside the mall; they've clearly all attacked the really, really weak corner at the same time and they've all gotten in. There are only 10 zombies outside- this isn't something we're going to lose a mall over by any means. We've got nearly 200 people in the upper left corner and just have to get them to spread out a bit and then get rid of those 50 zombies. Of course, with coordination like that, we're gonna be having a lot more large scale breakins at Blackmore when they come up here.

Shacknews has spys amoung the survivor population they even said it themselves
so they used spys to spot the weak corner which does kinda suck
hopefully we can clear it out also you coudl CR most of shacknews seeing as most of them dont have Brain rot or any survivor combat skills I know CRing is frowned apon by both sides but this could help get Nichols back with minimal Bastard Casualties plus they can try to kill you if you dump the bodies after CRing

Sorry I haven't been here for a while. Things have been in a bit of a rush in my life lately.
I think that the RRF is using its influence with all the zombie groups in Malton to increase the zombie-survivor ratio at Blackmore because that's the only way they can try to break through. To counteract this, we should do the same - visit as many survivor groups as we can and ask them to send whoever they can to the beloved Blackmore Building to raise our own numbers.
I'm going to the DEM to ask them to send as many of their operatives as they can. I think we should start a grassroots campaign on survivor forums and ask them to send some of their survivors to Blackmore. While a group may only send 1 or 2 of their members to the Blackmore, if we can get 50 groups to do so we'll get 100 new bastards. So lets get on those forums and ask for anyone willing to listen if they could help us in this, our greatest hour of need, not just for our own glory but for the glory and greatness for all survivors everywhere.

No. No CRing. Especially no to CRing a group of 40 coordinated hostiles.

my bad for not thinking about the larger picture

scan first and CR nubs zombie groups have very small khram for not dedicating themselves to brainrot and then talking trash that theyre l33t zombies when most of the major disruption has been through Death Cultists.

I was in Nichols reprovisioning when the barricades broke last night. I've been trying to muster up the other corners and whet their appetite for Zombie blood since then. The good news is that the survivors in Nichols are a scrappy lot. I woke up this morning to see 30 zeds in the NE and in the past hour that number has shrunk to only a dozen. At this rate the mall should be clear and rebarricaded by noon. That doesn't mean Nichols couldn't use 10 or 15 more Bastards to Bastardize the barricades. The only problem will be making sure all the squares are garrisoned equally after that. MallRats are generally hesitant to stand in the most dangerous corner. If one or two of our more well known brethren at the Blackmore came down and started sermonizing on post-ransack mall defense tactics it would probably help.
The good news is that hordes don't generally get a break like this twice. Remember when the whats-their-names came to Blackmore with a massive coordinated pker assault and they took out 20 Bastards in an afternoon? We were all pretty worried then, but after the initial hit, and we started killing them they never summoned that level of coordination again.
