I vote that we work up towards taking and defending some more dangerous and coveted areas. Start out from here, then see if we can expand. Move if necessary
I don't really like the idea of PK'ing myself.

And I'll take just about anyone as leader :P

Well, I dunno... I suppose there could be a few interesting alternatives to killing other humans. Yagoton isn't far from Shearbank (the link leads to the wiki). AFAIK, this suburb is quite the disputed area. Maybe we could launch "Operation secure Shearbank's Stickling Mall [53, 23] for fellow human players"? That could be a good challenge and it could require a lot of strategy. A mall is a 2x2 area which means that we'll need our members to have both construction and free running. Then again, no excitement can be guaranteed, the wiki hasn't been updated for some time so there's no way to tell what we'll find once we get there. I guess that's part of the fun.

Of course, the big idea here is that the guys from DARIS could still be in the area. This means that, in order to secure the mall, we'll have to kill other human players. The good thing here is that these guys are all PKers. Therefore, we would not be PKilling, we'd be bounty hunting (in other words, we'd be the good guys). Should the area still be heavily disputed, our arrival (and, eventually, our success in securing the mall) could very well give us a comfy place in UD's community.

This could get very messy. If things go wrong, we'll need someone with the ability to revive us. a1s hasn't posted here since Oct 6th. I'm not sure where that leaves us. In fact, I think he controls our group's only scientist. This means that there'll be some work to do, no point in moving around if we can't get a revive should the need arise. Should this plan be accepted, free running will become an essential skill. As we move together throughout Malton (we could reach the mall in one day but we'd end up with no APs to defend the place, we'll have to spend the night somewhere nearby to strike as swiftly as possible), we will probably rest in heavily barricaded places (large groups could attract zeds). And holding a mall with inferior barricades doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

Even if DARIS has left the suburb, defending a 4x4 area from zeds is still more interesting than defending our warehouse from graffiti .

This sounds fun to me, this could be a nice little adventure ...

[edit]: Aristharus is a scientist too !
