"Darkest before the dawn..."

That old adage about it always being darkest before the dawn was stupid - it gets brighter closer to sunrise, not darker. Nevertheless, it is remarkable how quickly the tide can turn, when all seems dark and hopeless, then before you know it...daybreak.

The zombie scum have been winning - somehow in their hunger and blind rage, they have become more organized than we are, or rather, than we have been. I implore every survivor to work with their fellow citizens like never before - put aside petty differences and rivalries. Forgive criminals and Pk'ers - we are all desperate people at this hour! Heal one another, stand your ground and fight when the barricades fall - rebuild, revive and recapture the dream of a new day in Malton.

I think I see the first rays of sunshine already.
Keep the faith...
