Sigh..... every time I go down to Emma General it's full of people and 'caded EHB.... both the old barricade plan plus the new one have Emma at VSB++, grrrrrrrrr... and meanwhile St. Humphries which is actually supposed to be at EHB, and is also in a much safer location overall than Emma's, is left to rot (excluding those of us in ROAR who work at maintaining it, i'm referring to the non-affiliateds...) uber-grrrrrrrrr.... actually, i'm going to try talking to people... i haven't had much of a chance, really... and people will listen, sometimes, for example i was getting really furstrated with defending pole mall earlier this week, the usual everyone clumping in one corner, and never the one being attacked... but a number of us talked to people, and it changed... so i have hope again... ... spray paint... maybe i should've got spray paint at the mall?? hmph.

To avoid reduncancy etc etc blah blah ... just go to the wiki to see what i put up regarding the barricade plan and some changes i made to it. Behold, OPTIC BLAST!!anything can very easily be changed... but i really don't see a point, barring serious objections, of course. Grrrrrrrrrr... I can't seem to make this board use the URL as is... sorry... you can & paste it, or just navigate there, i guess. *EDIT* Fixed it. - Megaduce

About the cemetaries, yes it is redundant to have them all acting as RPs.
However, for those players who a) don't have Lurching Gait/Ankle Grab or b) don't know their way around town, it's just easier for them to have more options to choose from for their revive (the 13, 94 Cem may be closer to whatever it is they're doing than the 14, 92 one, the same can be said for 15, 97). This hasn't been a problem for us either, since most of the time we're spread out over the 'burb.
As for Dickin Park, that's been used as a rev point by us & other groups (Blackwatch, NTCS) for some time now, and I imagine it will continue to do so regardless of what we decide.

Weird... because isn't Coat Ave just a few blocks from Dickin Park also an RP? Oh well.... See, I've never even heard of the Dickin Park RP... but I don't hang round the east side of the burb much, I usually pick up syringes while on mall runs, not at the Button. But none of it is a big deal... And I guess that can be cleared up very easily, and explained on the wiki... And I agree it's not really an issue to have both 14,92 to 13,94 functioning... I was just arguing in favour of uber-simplicity... in theory... I guess the big thing next is do we want indoor RP(s)? I've concluded that only, I think it's St Alba's? ... that's the only church that keeping open won't overly interfere with the free running lanes. The rest are in strategically important places... That's my take on it, anyway.

I'm at Emma General, and it's barricaded to EHB. Since the zombie menace seems to be fairly light of late, so we want to try to maintain it at VSB+2. To give the newbies a place to get FAKs... I also think trying to keep Large Row PD at VSB+2 would be a good idea, too.
Thoughts?

For the moment, it might be easier to just keep Emma at VS+2.
Since it's part of OA's central FR Lane, Large Row would be mind-numbingly difficult to maintain at anything other than XH+2 because of all the traffic it gets.

How does the amount of traffic impact the ability to use it as entry point? More people = easier to maintain VSB, I always thought. And there just aren't that many zombies in the suburb these days -- outside of the small group sieging McKay, but what else is old? IMO not enough to justify keeping both of Arhkam's only two PDs at EHB... And if thew building is under siege, okay... standard emergency procedures and go to EHB. There seems to be a bit of an influx of people, many newbies, into the burb... let's let them have a least the one VSB hospital and one VSB PD ....

I was thinking; More People = A greater chance that some un-informed passerby (or some well-informed ****tard) will boot the 'cades to the Heavily Range, thinking that the place is under siege (or to just be a prick), as TRPs tend to be.
If you can maintain Large Row in the Strongly Range and convince others to do the same when it's not getting hammered, then by all means, go for it.

Just wanted to make sure before I started to rip down barricades. The barricade policy on the Wiki is the one to go by, correct? It's the one I go by and I was stuck outside for about 2 hours trying to find a way in. Luckily I found an entrance in New Arkham.

Yeah, that'll work.
Where were you blocked?

I was blocked down at Edbrook Walk FS. It's not a big deal, I should stay where I know their is an entrance. I just wanted to make sure before I manipulate barricades according to the WIKI barricade plan. I tried to read this whole forum but I was hoping the barricade plan on the WIKI is up to date.

I see there is a new barricade plan on the wiki, I assume it was developed here. I had a couple questions.
1. Dark Buildings: Does the plan indicate the dark buildings should not have a genny or that they are simply dark buildings? There seems to be a definite advantage to leaving them dark for the new people and as PK protection.
2. Police Departments: Again thinking of the new players and since we are now a green suburb, Should one of the PDs be moved to vsb++? I understand that ups the break-in ratio, but despite the lack of zeds we seem to be overflowing with survivors still. So I think maintain it at vsb++ shouldn't be too hard and might give us something to do on occasion. I think Large Row PD being centrally located and not vital to free running is a good choice.
3. St Daniels Church 12, 94: Should this vsb location be moved next door to Cary Towers 11,94? With both St Daniels and Newmarch FD vsb, don't we risk having the free running path cut off?
Just some thoughts...

1. I think that just lets people know that to easily barricade them or 'clean' them they'll need to be lit up.
2. If you want to maintain the 'cades at one of the PD's in the VS range, I suggest Large Row, go right ahead. Make sure you've got some spray cans on hand.
3. No. Churches have always been entry points, it's pretty much universal constant around the city. Also, the FR lane wouldn't be completely cut off, we'd still have the route through the St Neot's & Newmarch junction.

Sorry if I'm asking stupid questions or making stupid statements...but, Newmarch FD is shown as vsb, as is St Daniels 12,94. However, I can see the route through New Arkham using Newmarch School. I was just wondering since the FR lane at that point becomes dependant one of two routes (ignoring the NA route) Newmarch FD or St Daniels, shouldn't one of the two be ehb? A smart horde it would seem would attack both in unison making survivors waste AP going the long way through NA. I maybe wrong, but I don't see a route if both those buildings are ruined, which I understand at the moment is fairly unlikely.
Should all the churches be entry points? I count 3 only 1 of which is marked at less than ehb. I do note that the other churches are within one click of current entry points.
Is St Neot a RP or is that now outdated? If it is a RP does it stay unbarricaded?
Again, sorry for being a noob.

In theory. yes (and typically, Newmarch is the one in the extreme range). In practice, unless there is only1 way to get into the lane, most hordes either go after Tactical Resource Points (TRPs) first (saving the FRL for later), or they're large enough that they just steamroll the entire suburb within a couple of days. In my opinion, yes, all the Churches should be entry points. As far as I know, neither Neot's or Alda's are being used as indoor revive points, so yes, that information is outdated.
