Eglin has been breached, with several zeds inside and about seven or eight survivors. Hippesley is ruined. The northern section of Molebank is mostly ruined. This doesn't appear to be the massive onslaught like the mall attacks, but an AP conserving, methodical, selective, and with several small-bands (15-30) strike. The problem is still their timely online coordination. They are cracking open EHB buildings with a little more than a dozen zeds, giving priority to infecting all within first, and then they go about eliminating them. Too, they use that cute little IRC box that (go to their page on the wiki, and then to their forum from there) allows them excellent 'real time' commo. I would consider it a command center, truthfully. If we could field 50 survivors, online at the same time and coordinated via IRC on the panel viewed, like them, we could easily stop them. I think we should establish 'time windows' that are best for coordinated defense based upon Extinction time windows. At least in the near future...
Whoever has a sizable collection of syringes, I'd like to ask you to consider evacuating to the suburb south of Molebank (Reganbank), to the Farthing Library, to assist with the forthcoming revives that will begin piling up. If you are zombiefied, but with a pocketfull of stickers, let me know, shamble on down to my AO, and I'll give you priority on one of the syringes I have left. I am down to two.

Extinction are currently working on the NT buildings in Molebank. Their plan is to lay siege to these buildings at regular intervals, 6, 12, 18 and 24hrs GMT. My partner Detective J MacLane has discovered this whilst researching our current attackers... this was also found which makes interesting reading.... uzm-urbandead.com/extinction/index.phpDetective A Clarke co-founder Team Meat

Yes, those time periods are the 'windows' I'm suggesting we operate in, as well, to counter Extinction's efforts and to collaborate simultaneously henceforth. For Central Standard Time conversion one must simply subtract five hours from the GMT. It's often when I log on to check my status or to pull some quick recon.
And that link takes you, once you 'engage' your super duper Extinction trooper commitment button, to their cute little IRC window. And THAT is what allows them the 'real time' effectiveness to operate as they do. I wants it, my preciousssss...
I'm pleased to see one investigate into the opposition's tactics. Tell your partner "good job!" for me. Strength and Solidarity,

Do you think it's best we operate to the same time scale as the zeds? Or should we surprise them an hour after they finished, slaughter them as they sleep and repair the damage? Or perform a pre-emptive strike and attack before they can? Each possible course of action throws up many possible outcomes and occurances... but which do you guys think is best?

I think the timing of our actions should be determined by the size of our force involved. As one who abides by the No Mind school of strategy, I believe all strengths are more easily countered when weaknesses are revealed in the midst of commited action. Yes, I'm a 'counter-fighter' and practice guerrilla warfare in this modality as well. I believe the best offense is a brilliant defense. Especially when one has limited resources and small numbers of combatants.
With that in mind, if we are smaller in number we can respond as best as we can without losing our lives (and massive amounts of APs) after our opponents have expended their APs in the endeavor of their assault. That would mean logging on at their time and waiting until our intel showed us the most opportune time and revealed our options.
If we are as large of a force as the Opfor we should be online to counter as they act. Barricading the buildings even as they attempt to tear them down. THIS is the tool of warfare that will win victories in Malton, not bullets nor blades.
Truthfully, the strength of the survivor lies in the skill of barricading. This is what causes a zed to waste more AP, and frustrates them tremendously, more than anything else.
Shooting zombies is only good for when they are sleeping and occupying property one wishes to reclaim. Kill a zombie outside of a tactical building and all you have done is waste your own AP - and a serious amount at that. An average of 15 AP per shot goes into every bullet that hits your target when one includes the time spent searching and traveling to resource buildings. And, for the average serious zed who has ankle grab skill, this simply results in a loss of 6 AP's against an opponent who has headshot skill. And only 1 AP loss against those who don't! 'Kill' a zombie while he is online and all he will do is stand right back up with 'full' hps, because essentially, zombies are invulnerable. They only stop their assaults when they are out of APs. Therefore it is their APs we must expend.
A survivor would be better off using the harassment tactic of taunting the zombie and having him give chase, leading him away from strategic buildings while causing him to expend more than 6 AP's in movement - and definitely expending as many APs as the survivor expends in leading him away in this game of tag.
Barricades for battle victories. Bullets and blades for reclamation and recovery.

ArcAngels are up till now still stationed in Molebank. But this is now the final point where we are retreating. Not retreating from a loss. Retreating from a mass of Zeds who we are not able to hold off. ALL ArcAngels REATREAT FROM MOLEBANK!! Our new location is Farthing Library[16, 51] in Regeanbank. just SE from Cape Towers. This is a command! All ArcAngels are to immediately to evacuate from Molebank. Good luck to us all!

Extinction is awaiting a response whereby they may converge their forces on those initiating a counter-attack. With such a thing done, and the armed survivors in the open, the last of the defenders can be turned to zombies without any syringes nearby or survivors to administer such aid to them and Extinction can then 'stand down' and proceed with the rest of their plan. Let us keep them waiting. The momentum of an offensive quickly dissipates with boredom, and the forces marshaled will wish to disband as an entity and pursue further action that is 'more fun'. A defensive posture is by no means the same creature, even with this well-organized group we face.
A plan is being formulated at this very moment, and we will soon embark upon an allied action. It will be passed between us quietly and in confidence. Conserve your AP, help where you may when it is before you, and remember that slow water moves with great force. Strength and Solidarity,

Just penned in response to another's fading hope. I will share it with all because it is True.
When the sun is at its full strength, in the summer months, the stream shrinks to a trickle, and the bed becomes dry. Yet, when the rainy season begins, and the stream exceeds its banks and floods the lands about it, it appears as a raging river. All things in time, and in due season. While yet we are here - nothing is permanent. Strength is in the Will, and the Will rules the Mind. Until the Will is conquered there is no defeat.

Hi guys, I was wondering if anybody had some news on what was going on in regards to the zombie invasion from the North West? There doesn't seem to be very much activity at the moment. If anybody from the ArcAngels or anywhere else out there knows something on the recent events in Malton and what is currently happening with the zeds taking over every suburb in the western half of Malton would you mind giving me a heads up..... as I'm getting a little edgey.....
