HISTORY

Shortly after the August 14, 2007 game update that allowed dead bodies to be dragged out of a fort -- a change that greatly improved the viability of both of Malton's forts -- the Cannonball Crew decided to create a permanent garrison at Fort Perryn made up of alts. The Fort Perryn Defense Force founded by Sgt Forde was an existing independent group in the area. The two groups partnered in successfully retaking Fort Perryn, and because they had similar objectives, the Cannonball Crew and the Fort Perryn Defense Force got into talks and decided to join forces. As of October 2010 the FPDF and Cannonball Crew decided to go seperate ways. With Fort Perryn Defense Force becoming it's own group and CC joining Skynet Defence Network.

November 13th 2010

The epic battle for Whittenside continues. Despite /Zom/'s heroic attempts to recapture the fort, zombie numbers are too high to maintain any form of effective defense. however, the battle for the 'burb is intense and even, neither side gaining true dominance! FPDF recieving invaluable help from the esteemed Albert Schwan with the gallant 'D.S. R&D'. Also /Zom/ & Wulves members valiantly helping our cause. A true pleasure to work with both groups (And any others who are not mentioned here). --PvtStanley 23:09, 13 November 2010 (GMT)

Fort Perryn fell to zombie hands again as FPDF fell back into the Infirmary, and later, out of Perryn itself.

June 1 2008

After falling to the combined weight of The Dead and the Feral Undead in early May, Fort Perryn was recaptured today in a joint strike by members of The Fortress, the Creedy Defense Force and of course the FPDF. The fort buildings were all cleared, repaired and 'caded -- and the power was back on -- less then 20 minutes after the start of the strike, in which as many as 20-25 people participated making it one of the largest (and most successful) real-time operations in the FPDF's history.
The gatehouse barricades will now be kept at EHB for two days in accordance with the fort's baricade policy, to prevent a recurrence of last week's strike in which the fort was quickly overrun by undead in the subsequent counter-attack.
Survivors wishing to enter the fort and help with the defense should note that the gatehouse barricades will be lowered to VSB again on Wednesdays and Sundays (GMT).


May 7 2008

After a month of safety, the fort is finally facing a serious challenge in the form a large horde sweeping through Whittenside and destroying the surrounding resource buildings. The FPDF will continue to run revives in Whittenside as per our current policies and will establish a safehouse outside the fort for any revived survivors requiring first-aid or waiting to re-enter the fort during a VSB entry window. Check back here for details shortly.


April 20 2008

Our third 'open day' is just ending and the new VSB / EHB barricading policy seems to be working well. There is still some over-barricading at the gatehouse during the designated entry/exit windows, but overall reinforcements (and revived defenders) are making their way in and the gatehouse population now stands at 130+ survivors. Break-ins and PKs so far have been fairly rare, even on VSB days. Kudos to the (many) pro-survivor players who are helping to make the new policy a success, and keeping the fort safe.


April 13 2008

Our first 'open day' with VSB 'cades at the gatehouse passed today with relatively little incident. Survivor numbers inside the gatehouse have increased from 60+ to 70+ as new reinforcements arrived, (and revived defenders returned). A handful of small zombie break-ins were dealt with fairly quickly by survivors. Gatehouse barricades will now be kept at EHB again until 00:00 GMT Wednesday. Zombies outside the gatehouse still number only about 30 or so.


April 12 2008

Our first designated entry/exit day, since the new EHB policy was implemented, begins at 00:00 GMT tonight (Saturday night/Sunday morning). Gatehouse cades will be kept at VSB for 24 hours for any survivors wishing to enter or leave.


For those remaining inside, expect an influx of PKers, GKers along with the zombie break-ins.


Remember: infected or critically injured should head to the infirmary; everyone else stay in the gatehouse. If you are killed, head to the revive points at Wooley Grove or the Malcolm NT cemetery (see map) and request a revive.


Good luck!


  • April 10 2008
The proposed new EHB 'cading policy is now in effect. Designated VSB entry/exit days are Wednesdays and Sundays. All other times, the gatehouse will be kept at EHB. Armory must remain at VSB.


Please check out our Fort policies and guidelines for more details, or post on our discussion page with any comments or feedback.


Hold the barricades and the fort will hold!


April 9 2008

Gatehouse cades are now at VSB but may be raised to EHB very shortly, as a trial run for the new barricading proposal below (and due to the current zombie activity outside). Feedback welcomed - please visit the Fort Perryn discussion page to comment.


April 7 2008

The gatehouse has been repaired and is back in survivor hands for now. Currently as VSB.


Note that the FPDF / Cannonball Crew is not responsible for the recent instances of HB-EHB 'cades in the gatehouse. Although we have submitted a proposal to the Fort Perryn Discussion page to keep the gatehouse 'cades at EH and having set times for entry, this has not yet been agreed or put into practice. Interested parties, please visit the above discussion page to comment. In the meantime, FPDF barricade policy for the Fort Perryn Gatehouse remains at VSB. --Mad Dog Munro 05:55, 7 April 2008 (BST)


April 2 2008

After dispensing more than a dozen revives in the last few days, and helping with the rebuilding effort, Whittenside is back on the up and the FPDF is preparing for it's next op. New recuits are cordially invited to join. Check the latest mission thread on our forum for details. --Mad Dog Munro 05:30, 3 April 2008 (BST)


March 6 2008

The strike is now underway. With help from the CDF and other local survivor groups, the gatehouse is back at VSB+2, the infirmary and armory are now both secured and powered, and there's a small heap of bodies outside the gatehouse.


Now we need more surivors to move back in to finish clearing the rest of the shamblers and help to hold the gatehouse. There's already a mob of undead forming just outside, and it promises to be a good fight. Come and join in! --Mad Dog Munro 23:41, 6 March 2008 (UTC)


March 5 2008

Tomorrow's joint strike will start at 9.30pm GMT / 4.30 pm US Eastern - i.e. 18 hours from now. To take part, just head over to Fort Perryn at this time or as soon as possible afterwards, and start by hitting the gatehouse, infirmary, armoury and SW storehouse. Clear out any zeds (dump outside the gatehouse), repair, cade and power. If you are killed, go to the cemetery 1W of the Malcolm NT building and post a request on the DEM website. The x,y co-ordinates for the cemetery are 87,90. Good luck and have fun! --Mad Dog Munro 03:04, 6 March 2008 (UTC)


March 4 2008
