Ever considered joining a strike team? If you live in the US then odds are the strike teams operate at inconvenient hours for you...NOT ANYMORE!! The newest team "Shadow" strikes' are based on US hours. If that sounds good to you, join extinction if you haven't already and then sign-up for Shadow here... extinction101.proboards100.com/index.cgi?board=sts&action=display&thread=1190430381 Why sign up?Shadow use many simple but deadly tactics to take down cades and wreak holy hell! Even with the 6 or 7 people we are currently averaging per strike we still hit multiple targets every time. Right now we are clearing burbs but as our numbers grow we will be targeting malls as well. We chat in real time during our strike so not only does it add a new element to your UD experience but it is just plain fun, and isn't that why we're all here anyway? Who can sign up?Pretty much anyone regardless of experience or level. If you need xp we will make sure that you get it. We'll even make sure you get the kill! Our core members have plenty of game time. No reason for newbs to spend months learning the ropes. Start out with the best and you will level safer and faster with the help and advice of your teammates.
If you've played for a while you owe it to yourself to try this team experience. This is the real zombie meta game. Do you have to play every day?Of course this would be preferred but even if you can only make it periodically you are more than welcome. We eat brains every day/night so when you have a day free , we will be active.

The newest team, Shadow, is just the ticket for you. We strike at ...
Sorry, didn't know this was a public forum. Won't happen again

SUPERNAUGHT..... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D I have two words for you my friend " GOLD STAR" I especially like how you knew that it was ALWAYS my intention to allow ZOMBIES of ALL levels this unique opportunity!!!!! Da_Bones can attest to that fact  Only one SMALL issue... This post is in the General Boards; which means that anyone, even those not with EXTINCTION, can have access to its information. So...solution, both YOU and BONESY need to modify the strike information to say:
WE STRIKE LATE, FOR THOSE LIVING IN THE UNITED STATES, SOMETIME IN THE AFTERNOON/EVENING....PM ANYONE IN THE TEAM TO RECEIVE THE EXACT INFORMATION AND WHAT TIME THAT WOULD BE IN RELATION TO YOU!!!" |

I like having stuff public.. the benefits of accessibility far outweigh the dangers of forum spies.

It sounds like Shadow has been having a lot of success lately. I might be able to join in a week or so. Hey Supernaught, your avatar looks familiar. Is that from "Come to Daddy" ? (I have that song in my head now.  ) |

GMT or GMT+1 is always a good time for americans to roll out (6-7pm CST). A LOT of groups play around there (the rangers, the RRF's GMT breakfast club, etc) so you might want to vary your tactics accordingly, depending on who you're facing.
ie strike at the bottom of the hour, or GMT+4 (10pm CST), after they've used their AP's for the day.
just a suggestion.

Already on top on it Razi... THX for your concern, but everything is under control. We have a designated strike time and so far it has worked brilliantly for us. By the way...this isn't a concept group, we've been conducting raids for at least two weeks now. This post is here, strictly, for more advertising/marketing purposes! -appreciate the input though, and if you'd care to join or have any ?'s please PM me and I'll get back with you shortly |

Careful aNw, you are getting c*cky... they (the enemy) have just started figuring out your attack time as evidenced by the spray in Pask NT. Most of Shadow's success has been the element of surprise (that is, attacking when people are inactive or AP'ed out). As people shift their times to match Shadow's attack time, things are going to get more difficult. That's where muscle helps. And Razi has some great suggestions for keeping the "surprise" part up. Something that NOC hasn't done a good job of at all. |

I agree that SDO should switch it up every so often like razi said, but quite frankly all that would be unnecessary If we didn't already have SPIES in our Forums w/ access to all our secured information. Primarily one "omnivorous" leader of the Hard Corps who we're currently fighting in DAKERSTOWN. I ASK YOU: "How can you possibly keep strike times a secret and still ask new recruitment at the same time? Besides... the designated time is there because that's when people can show up. Any sooner or later would be pushing the limits on their already strained schedules. So if its at all possible to throw in xx:00 curve balls they would pretty much be luck of the draw on any given night! |

We dont have the member count for it..AND..our members have a hard enough time meeting our current X:00 times..that never change..wtf you think will happen if we changed it by a hour or 30 mins either way...we would crumble even worse then we are. Perhaps in the future..but as of now..no. |

Whatever. It's been the #1 reason for failure in the NW. People know when NOC strikes, they get active at that time, and then they simply re-build the barricades as they are being hit.
It is a fact that between open cades and VSB, AP advantage belongs to the survivors. Between HB and EHB, the AP advantage is basically a wash (brains still have a slight advantage). You either have to hit with superior numbers - which isn't the case right now - or hit them by "surprise". And if you don't change your attack time, even by an hour one way or another, then you lose that surprise element.
Predictability is really easy to counter-act.
And, Brainz, why is Shadow so successful all of a sudden, where NOC was failing? They didn't have any superior numbers over NOC. Answer: Surprise. And if aNw doesn't maintain that level of surprise, eventually Shadow will be counteracted just as NOC was. Oh, and look at how Shadow is growing quickly - success breeds recruitment. That's a lesson you should have learned right before the Big Push. Members aren't meeting NOC or GMM x:00 attack times because they are being counter-acted. And your refusal to switch up the times isn't going to make them any more successful.

Omni is not a spy. zombie strike times are pretty easy to figure out without having to do that, and even without having to look at the x:00 tags outside.
all it takes is for survivors to use the (x hours, x minutes ago) tag and count. not tough, just takes coordination.

The more teams we create, the more people in them, the more effective we will be. Any element of surprise is gonna be beneficial however we don't seem to have the co-ordinated numbers yet to manage sliding strike times. Sounds like a great idea for the future. For now, I would be more concerned with focusing all current group efforts together (which may be being done, I dunno) For instance, if we have 3 strike times we should be able to systematically clear large areas by prioritizing targets to take away survivor resources (NTs, hospitals, etc) Save pds for last? Whatever makes them waste the most AP! It would also be nice if we had some public (among the group) level of information (main Extinction goal, etc) to keep members active. Is there a post I've missed cause it looks like we're joining the big bash but I personally haven't heard any details as far as how we are going to operate. And it kicks off in a couple of days I think. btw, Shadow opened up a buffet leaving 24 brains in it tonight! I sure hope other Extinction members know to watch the chatbox as we leave nice nfo in there daily. And is someone adding our exploits to the BLR nightly? hope so peace all |

And it kicks off in a couple of days I think. peace all Yes, Extinction will have some fun with the big bash for sure...currently all Freelancers are heading down there (or they are already there). And in the future...im sure NOC & SHADOW will have there part in it aswell...just after we get settled down and organized abit more. ;D Remember..were playing this game to have fun...why not participate in this rare zombie event. |

The way you say some of it..its as if Shadow was a seperate UD group instead of a strike team in Extinction; and remember..our goal with adding more strike teams is to work together for the mother group. BTW, theres no need to signup to any specific strike team..just show up to the one that best suits your schedule that day. |
