I think it's a terrible idea to involve outside people I'm the plan, though. It's bad enough that someone already spilled the beans about this thread...

Yeah! oh...

There are only 2 zombies left in the mall itself and none outside...

Would it be prudent to attempt to repair and baricade soon? or should we hold back?

How do people stand on AP right now?

I left Kenefie, traveled down to the mall, repaired the SW corner, and with one last AP, moved to Tynte. If anybody wants to cade that corner, by all means go ahead. As for recon, there are currently two zeds in the NW and one in the SE corners.

I'd like to know what is going on at LaTrobe if anyone knows or can scout it easily. Otherwise, I think we'd better kill these three zeds and take the opportunity.

Maybe if we have a couple of guys dedicated to 'cading as soon as we take down the Zeds, or we simply barricade as we go, or we do one or the other (killing or 'cading) in its entirity 1st?
Any guys dedicated to 'cading the mall when/if we manage to clear it could simply work to keep Kenefie safe in the meantime?

The 28th is still several days away, so we should be able to gather supplies whilst keeping zombies at low HP around the place for the 28th...
Even if it doesn't last, being able to take the fight to the zombies and Caiger together is worth at least trying IMHO, would be good not to just give up on the place and it would be easier to defend then re-secure I reckons, particularly if we work as a group...

Re-quoting this for importance:

Manchu wrote:Killing Zack lets him stand back up at full HP. The only good reasons to kill Zack is (1) to dump his body outside and (2) to get to the next zed in line since you can't selectively target them. With that in mind, as we look toward 8/28, let's focus on keeping our ammo stocks high and lone zeds at low HP but not necessarily dead. We want to rush them when they're at their weakest. And we also don't want to stir up the hornet's nest before 8/28. Even if Death Cultists don't watch this thread, Zack has been very responsive to increased activity at Caiger over the last several months, moving in with numbers at the drop of a hat. It'll be great fun to spearhead a possible recapture but I doubt we'll hold it for more than a week unless a more strictly organized group moves in to support.

Edit: I have no AP but plenty of gear until tomorrow...

If its empty, I don't see why we can't just 'cade it now. Can then attack the zombies in the near vicinity and work to defend it for example...

Caigar Mall is free of zeds and repaired.

SE corner EHB, other corners just HB.

And, no, I have no clue who did that.

Move in an 'cade it all to EHB.
We'll use Eden as a entry point.
Is anyone near a NTech facility?
We could use one to check zombie levels...

Well, Caiger is secured. I found the SW and SE powered and managed to power the NE myself. Let's keep eyes open for Zack's response. Gather ammo and scout through the burb.

Where do all these people suddenly come from?

Lets keep our eyes peeled for death cultists as well. No mercy!

Good point, check their profiles as you stroll through the mall.

Is there anything worse than a Death Cultist? I don't think so.

There's a parachutist called AfterbirthSmoothie...
If i recall correctly the DPHD have him listed as an impersonator so shoot him on site no matter what his profile says.

I saw his body on this side of town a few days ago. Good call, purp.

destroyed a generator in the mall.

I went through the profiles of everyone in the mall, nothing obviously jumps out as death cult.

Also: 17 zombies in Latrobe Building (NT), next to mall.

Also, also, Zmithy, the guy that just killed all the gennies in Caigar, is in Holloms Auto Repair, just E of mall.

That's what I suspected. We need to stay lit and lend a hand. I just spent my AP rummaging in the hardware store for a genny to no avail. GKers are truly scum.

There are more zombies than we thought...
I'll need to confirm but there are 32 zombies hiding inside and outside Latrobe NT...
More in the area...

ffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.... dge.

-since I'm off the next few days i've been logging in every couple of hours to try and keep the cades at EHB instead of doing my normal waiting for 50 ap thing.

Okay not quite as many zombies as i thought.
I'd estimate 23-26 at Latrobe in total.
There are a few stragglers here and there but that's the main concentration.

Swaying in the Wasteland 3 north of Eden Library (in which I was nom'ed) for what it's worth...

Apparently the zombies know about the 28th of August...
Either it's a random message or the forum has been compromised and is unsafe to discuss plans.

Yeah, well, thanks for that.

Uh, deets?

1 zombie with 8 health and a corpse in SE Caiger.
I think the cades need re-cading as well...

Dropped a Zombie pretty much on full health in NW Caiger, then finished one in SW corner (a PKer who got me ages back, so Vengeance! ) dumped em both. Also repaired up Barricades in the SE corner.

Took out another one down in the SE corner of Caiger and tossed it outside.
re-caded a bit as well.

The SE corner of Caiger has 5 zeds inside and the barricades are only holding at VSB. If anyone has AP those zombies need to be cleared out as quickly as possible.

Refueled NE corner genny.

How did you figure that out?

That's what I was wondering...

Shot up a Zed (about 25HP) in the SE corner and healed a couple of dudes.
The gennie in the hospital needs refuelling also. Credit to whomever spray-painted Chaos Is Begin To Grow as well!

Zed in the SE corner but no break in? (everything was at EHB+ earlier) That means we've got parachutists. Check profiles very carefully people. Take special note of level 43s and folks with more zed skills than survivor ones.

Someone (Presumably a parachutist) spray painted
"August 28th. The zombies know"
It could mean something else but that'd be a surprising coincidence...

SE corner is open again, eight inside - was nine. Ran out of ammo though so I had to spend the rest of my ap searching.
