ANNOUNCEMENT

Harman info min.jpg

It's about time we set the record straight. Any rumours of the 'Cherubs celebrating murder are just that: Rumours.

It's all a big conspiracy theory cooked up by the quackpots of Malton. The 'Cherubs are a group small in number: comprised largely of pacifists with no desire to fight, let alone shoot zombies. In fact, St. Valentine's Cherubs are far more preoccupied with helping various survivors throughout Malton.

N.B. The St. Valentine's Cherubs had nothing to do with the assassination of JFK, development of Area 51 and most certainly are not masterminding a nefarious scheme to attack Malton.

Original Plans

St. Valentine's Cherubs were a vast coalition of PKers drawn from the most notorious of PKer groups accross Malton, through varying alliances, cajoling and downright threats by Karloth Vois of Red Rum, helped in no small way by the leaders of most prominent PKer groups- particularly the members of the PKA. They came together with one aim: to celebrate PKing at Caiger Mall. However, zombies somewhat inconveniently crushed the mall whilst the PKers were stocking, leaving them without a target. Given both Bale's proximity, Valentine's history and status as a retreat for Caiger Survivors, it was the obvious choice.

The Fall of Bale

Gathering in the surrounding blocks, the killers readied themselves for an entire day's celebration. Bale stood tall with a relatively busy population of well over 200 survivors inside, and only minor zombie break-ins to deal with.

The attack commenced on the 14th of February, and immediately took its toll. PKers armed with weeks of shotgun stocking caused mass casualties- so much so, three corners were cleared almost immediately. Small numbers of zombies broke in, but were unable to gain a foothold, leaving the heavily populated (150+) SW corner the last bastion of hope. However, the final assault of the day swiftly ended any dreams of survival.

On the 15th, Bale Mall stood barricaded and empty of survivor life, with only 40 zombies congregated inside the SW corner. Its fall stands as a testament to the sheer power of Malton's Player Killers.

The Aftermath

An empty Bale Mall was easily taken by the zombies- following in Caiger's wake, the entire NW was unstabilised. Yagoton itself failed to recover over the next month, resulting in the fall of the YRC- the city's prime revive centre. Whilst only the fall of a single mall, the repercussions were felt across the city, and it stood to strengthen bonds throughout the PKer community. It took several months and many individuals (led by the Channel Four News Team) to valiantly wrest it from the hands of the undead, bringing a measure of stability into the NW once more.
