Welcome to the Fourth Edition of Ridleybank Digital Press, news for the undead cannibal written by the undead cannibal. Just another friendly reminder that all harman life in Malton will be devoured and join our glorious horde.
Eye on the horde:
24! Thats the magic number from the Final Fright event. 24 kills and a one mall ruined in a protest over anti zombie bias in mass media on Halloween. Overall feeling from zombies polled indicated that they felt Halloween was their day and that it had been stolen and defiled by survivor culture. “We’re tired of being treated as the villain,” said Horde member Millionknives. In between swallowing thigh meat. he also remarked, “You know people don’t think racism exists anymore but all you need to do is watch AMC on Sunday nights to see racial violence glorified.”
Also serving as a recruitment drive, the protest sought to terrify harmanz away from prejudices and envelop them in “the eternal family love” of the RRF. Gathered outside, the picketers quickly forced their way into the mall. Papa Irishmen opened the doors, allowing Ridleys to pour inside. Simultaneously, Gore Corpers infiltrated the Southwest corner. They were very effective. The death toll quickly climbed in the Northeast corner and it was quickly overrun. Regrouping in the Southeast corner the feasting reached a climax before the entire mall stood ruined.
Turning to the Homeland, there is a new game that all the cool zombies are playing: The Philips Road Needle Game. The game is simple: gently sway on Philips Road and break as many needles as possible. Constable FunkMcBogey is an all star pro, bending needles left and right. Allegations of cheating were momentarily leveled at Funk, but he quickly dismissed them as “bullshit” and soundly won a trial by dance off.
Dinner Spotlight:
Today we focus not on brainz, but the stale candy that for whatever reason has existed in the city since 2005 yet only appears on Halloween. Dating from the days when “American Idiot” dominated the charts, these tough sweets are the ultimate survivors in Malton, only emerging from their shelters when unknown forces compel them every October 31st. Despite this predictable pattern, their horrid taste and aged rubber texture serves as the ultimate defense mechanism. As a meal they get a zero out of five stars but they get our applause for their ingenious ways of staying alive.
Get to know a Ridley:
This edition’s Ridley is Chloe Freeguard, a recent addition to the RRF and a promising one!
How did find Urban Dead?
I found urban dead back in the old days of February 2011 when I was young and preferred dealing headshots to taking headshots. I believe I found it on some advertising on some site, cannot remember which now.How did you join the RRF?
I was a member of a large survivor group with many members with RRF cross membership. With the survivor - zombie ratio recovering after the March of the Dead, it just didn’t seem like there was much to do as a survivor. So following some recommendations that the RRF was full of nice people, I applied to lend my claws to help. Unfortunately for me, barhah.com refused to send me a validating email! I had some friends pm Mortificant since he was the leader of the strike team I wanted to apply for, unfortunately he was on holiday! By the time he got back, my account was deleted for being idle! So I remade the account and a whole host of people got involved: Mortificant, Bosch and bisfan (MOB) helping out a Ridley in need. So I finally got forum access and pmed Mortificant again to apply for GMT Breakfast Club, only to find he was away again for work reasons! At this point, I was getting quite frustrated! So I went on IRC to ask for help when Papa Irishmen replied within MINUTES and he and Bosch then directed me towards the GMT chatroom and I’ve been happily having breakfast with them ever since.How long have you been in the horde?
I have been with the horde for 2 months now.In a few words, describe what role you play in the horde.
I am a forum greeter. I find lost new Ridleys on the forum or on the IRC and help get them acquainted within the horde and direct where to go (whether it be a strike team to feed up babahs big and strong or DoHS for those unable to make strikes). My joining was rather traumatic! but there were lots of people who did their best to resolve the situation and I wanted to help others ease into horde life as best they can and not go through the same thing. I process new recruitments and upgrade forum accounts to have DoHS access and send them on to the right people. The funny thing is, I was made into one of the Department of Homeland Security group leaders and there were so many distinguished Ridleys who had been with the horde for so long and given so much back and there I was on the list with total posts of 1 and join date of 1 month. Oh, and when I’m not doing that, I’m hanging with the GMT Breakfast Club and attempting (badly) to keep things running when Mortificant isn’t there.Whats your favorite moment with the RRF?
My favourite moment would have to be the 6th Ridley Birthday Rager where we cleared the mall in under an hour and fed 2 babehs to bursting point. Moonie spent the last of his pre-strike day AP on doing some funky disco moves and we all prepared for the strike in Quartly Library where some trenchies came and took shots at us. I managed to bite them and helped a babah feast on them before they cowardly ran away. Then the actual strike itself happened and it was wonderful. We poured through their defences like they weren’t even there and nearly every harman was killed on the spot (except those that happened to wake up to the horde munching on them but decided it was a good idea to start shooting those that were APed and gain a scent trail. We cornered them later and ate them as well.). Oh and whenever a new Ridley joins the horde and feels welcomed and settled in brings me a smile as well.What do in your real life? What are your interests besides Urban Dead? Whats your job like? Do you have a family? How would you describe yourself?
I am an engineering student currently in my 2nd last year. I will be starting my thesis soon on a very exciting/boring field within the next few weeks. It’s very interesting to me but will probably bore anyone who doesn’t work in the field. I mostly seem to stay at home and study these days but I find time to play computer games (including and especially zombie ones!), watch movies and taking long daily walks. Back in the days when I had a life, I was willing to try almost everything at least once and have been kayaking, rock climbing, camping, playing archery, tennis, paintball, aqua golfing, mini golfing, canoeing, dancing, playing volleyball, squash and lots of other things I can’t remember right now. I have an older sister as well as parents. I like to think that I’m a shy person who can be super friendly once you get to know me. I enjoy a lot of things, don’t really find many things that I don’t like so I can listen to people talk about their interests which can then become my interests. I’m not really bothered by a lot of things (except maybe gross things and overly gory things) so I find it extremely hard to think badly of people.What’s your favorite snack food?
A nice tasty brain makes a great breakfast and helps me get through the day. I like to try almost everything at least once and currently I am going through a chocolate/cream candy phase.Last but not least, what would you say to new ridleys who have just joined the horde today?
Welcome to the RRF! It’s a great horde and your fellow zambahs are fun to be with and the supply of brains neverending! Please don’t be shy, it’s a very friendly horde and we welcome any questions you may have via IRC, forum or by pming one of the leadery people of the horde (although hopefully they aren’t on holiday at the time of sending). You’ll be knocking down barricades and feasting with a horde with the greatest and proudest traditions in all of UD.
There’s a place in the horde for people of all, well everything. There’s strike teams that attack around the clock and for those that can’t make strikes, theres the Department of Homeland Security or the Praetorian Guard for those that wish to help guard our ancestral home.
Papa’s Corner:
Tollyton is ours. We’re rocking it hard and it’s because of your amazing work, Ridleys. They keep trying resist introduction to our new and better way with feeble barricades and we keep tearing them down and giving them glorious infections. Just the other day Team America and Gore Corps reruined Woodroffe Mall after the harmanz propped it back up for a few hours.
We’re deadly and we’re bringing the BARHAH to many in our crusade. We’re coordinated with a clear plan for destruction, but in the end, everything, all the plans and ideas we draw up, are meaningless without you. This maybe a short edition of Papa’s Corner but that’s because I only have one thing to say and don’t want to dance around it: Ridleybank Resistance Front, you are the best damn horde in the game and it’s a gift to play with you. Thank you so much for being your kickass selves, each and every one of you.
