Disturbing video clip

M.U.M. Lieutenant Jordin has forwarded footage shot recently in Old Arkham (SW Malton). Flash says he was about to enter the building since it was boarded up and looked secure, but appearances can be deceiving...

Empty words

Too many survivors talk a good game, but that's as far as it gets. They look down their noses at "noobs" while seeking greater glory for themselves, trying to recruit powerful players to their group. They have been seduced by success, forgetting what it was like to be lost without a map, unable to access a heavily barricaded building, and lugging an empty six shooter while searching randomly for ammunition. No one is born experienced.

Maybe if we took a few days and hung out in a less barricaded area and met a few new arrivals, showed them around, showed them the ropes and showed them how to survive in Malton, we might have fewer Undead among us. Every noob that dies adds one more to the enemy's number, and perhaps if more experienced survivors crawled out of their hidey-holes once in a while and welcomed them, they'd make it too - Shoot, they may even join your little group because they think you've got it going on.

So what shall it be: survival of the fittest ...and damn the rest? Or will you take a risk from time to time to rescue others from the Undead instead of leaving them to be sitting ducks for the next horde of zombies?

The Undead are coming.
"Get ready to die...
Get ready to kill..."

This has been your mayor speaking...

"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...

"No more room in Hell..."

The Undead have claimed everyone I cared about - that is why I formed the M.U.M. - to fight back. Now every soldier in our militia has fallen victim to the zombie infestation, including my own daughter.

I have just begun to fight...!

Infection Spreads to Canada

I downloaded this clip off the internet from a Canadian news feed. The infection seems to begin innocently enough, until it claims your life, at least temporarily.

The news anchor seems to be coming down with it while broadcasting...

Desperate Times, Difficult Choices

I had to kill another survivor today, based upon two confirmed reports by trusted fellow survivors who have shared their safehouse with me. I have shared space with these good folks for several weeks without incident. We have even discussed ideals and had disagreements amongst us over the role govenment ought to play in Malton (if any!)

It gave me no pleasure to take this person's life, yet I heard myself, high on an adrenal rush, proclaiming my successful kill to my comrades and celebrating the event (!) And why not? With so little left to celebrate - why not celebrate the demise of an individual who increased the suffering experienced by those he encountered. Why not celebrate a respite from the threat of one more degenerate PK'er? Perhaps a moment of celebration is in order.

But now, once the surge of adrenalin has passed, I can't help but think "There but for the grace of God go I..." This unfortunate individual was embittered and angry. We have all lost contact with our friends and family during this time of crisis, or lost them altogether. The only thing we cannot afford to lose is the hope that sustains our will to live and help those around us survive.

Did this PK'er have to die? To protect the living, I believe that I did what was necessary, and I would do so again if necessary. All life has value. Please join me in a moment of silence to honour the life of one considered worthless (even though we know better).

...and if you dare, pray that the hopeless find hope in the chaos around us.

Perimeter Reports

Directive:
Based upon the results of FJ-One's scouting mission, all militia scouts are to hold their positions, seek ammunition, firearms and supplies before proceeding with their respective missions.

Current mission standings:
NW scouting: complete - perimeter extremely hostile
SW scouting: 75% complete
SE scouting: 75% complete
NE scouting: 50% complete

Other noteworthy items:
* FJ-One has reported in - recovered from Undead attacks and securing a NW position
* Limited militia recruitment efforts are being met with resistance and suspicion

Militia members are to provide aid and assistance to all survivors as a matter of policy and mission objectives. This continued practice will eventually convince the citizenry of our noble intentions to serve, protect, and restore order to the streets of Malton.

M.U.M.'s the word...
