We thought you were a faction of The Dead, whom we've learned to ignore fairly thoroughly. The resemblance is pretty striking, so please don't hold it against us too much.
Dixie does not retreat. However, If you're polite you might even get the occasional revive from us, but we do require dinner and a movie for it.

they weren't not coming for our defense, they were trying to decide if you in particular were specifically targeting dixie. it certainly seemed that way, especially considering you only killed me after i was added to the wiki--not before.

As King Magnar mentioned we rarely frequent the wiki as a tool for battle. I will say thanks to the members of the dixie squad for updating their profiles to show their squad. This will help prevent the accidental death of the squad members. I recently passed over Bill Turner for this very reason. I also admire your courage by not retreating, but keep in mind that will be the only way you are truly safe. Purple Cat- recently Ive been informed that you were killed by a player named Chronic something. He claimed to be DHPD and accused you and a few other DHPD of being imposters. Considering your presence here on the forums I doubt his words. If you would could you post his full name and possibly a link so i can inform my fellow Spartans of the imposter. Thanks.

Here he is. He's a Chronic Dick (see what I did there?) also to be fair, if i do see you around, and even though i'm dixie, i am definitely burying my axe in your neck for revenge! :)

As I've said, our single targeting of Dixie was purely coincidence. A Spartan suggested we target your group, and after consulting allies I heard you were regarded with the utmost respect. I decided to come to Dunnel Hills to see if thats warranted. Dixie Squad are just the first we found, and given the current state of DH I'm not surprised. As I've mentioned and Purple Cat has stated, I have given my Spartans incentive to attack every other DHPD member first. Dixie Squad is still of DHPD and a target, but in our current challenge kills on Dixie do not count as much as other squads (to give a brief example, it takes 3 Dixie kills to equal one kill on Delta. I look forward to dancing with you Delta chaps). This is by no means a stand down, and in my eyes my Spartans do not lose honor for attacking Dixie. Call it what else you will, but thats whats happened and its a closed chapter to us now. razi: I can see how you'd be confused. We're but four men, alive and with guns, that come and kill your members. The Dead at one point changed the dynamics of this game, greatly outnumber us, and are zombies. Very similar I know

Aww, all Haliphax meant is that repeatedly targeting a few individuals looks more like regular old griefing than honorable combat. I mean, sure, bandy the role-playing around, lord knows we do. But at the end of the day it seems to me that the zombie hordes seem way more like Xerxes army (as portrayed in 300) than do a bunch of people playing police officers.
But please, by all means keep killing us for the next couple of weeks. It is an interesting diversion from the normal garden variety griefer. Y'all at least come with some flavor. With your "For Sparta!" and all.

Dear Spartans So several posts both here and on your noticeboard boil down to How to tell if you've killed a genuine DHPD member?Now there's a nice simple question. If only there were a nice simple answer. Most DHPD members are members of a Squad and we work pretty hard to keep our squad rosters up to date and to regularly update those rosters on the wiki. Unfortunately our main wiki person has just decided that spending ten days lobbying politicians about environmental issues is a better use of his time than updating the DHPD wiki roster. The squads won't be drastically different from those on the wiki but we do have a steady stream of recruits graduating into squads, and people signing up as recruits, which means there may be one or two people who are in a squad but aren't listed. We also have officers who aren't in squads. These are generally more veteran officers who don't wish to be so active in game, or have recently returned and are not in a squad. We attempt to keep a full list of members here but I'll confess to being unclear what the inclusion criteria are (*flails a bit at the list* *observes that one of the people on it lists Philosophe Knights in their UD Profile* *flails a bit more*). I think its a list of anyone who's ever signed up for the DHPD and who's character hasn't gone inactive or formally left. However it does contain all the non-squaded Officers who frequent this forum. Again it's unlikely to be updated until our Wiki person recovers from his dose of real life. Obviously most people on the forum have a name that is similar to their character name. If their forum mask is Officer, Moderator, Admin or Recruit, then they are a DHPD Officer. If it's MIA then they haven't posted here for a while but, for all we know, are still active in game. If it's trainee then we don't recognise them as a part of the DHPD. There are people who like to have "Dunell Hills Police Department" listed as their group but aren't interested in visiting the forums or working with us on operations. Generally, as long as they've had some involvement with the group in the past and are not causing trouble, we're happy to let them do so. If we don't know who they are we will put them on our Most Wanted List. They are listed as APB only, if we've no evidence that they are causing trouble, and warranted if they've been PKing using our name and so forth. I'm afraid we don't have a specific list of impersonators since the ones who PK are put in with all the PKers on the list. The Dead aren't just a zombie group, they have a nice line in impersonation and PKing as well so there are several of them. Regular warrants are reviewed every three months, so those people are usually active in the area. Perma-warrants are reserved for persistent nuisances but that does mean the characters may no longer be active. And then there's our beloved Commisssioner Emeritus, and driving force behind making the DHPD one of Malton's major groups, Khannoir, and I honestly couldn't tell you if you were insulting us or doing us a favour if you PK'd him. However, I think he's inactive at the moment, so hopefully the question won't arise. I bet you're wishing you never asked now...

Purple Cat: we by no means intend to dictate how your various rosters are updated. My sole point on the matter is if you, the lead of this illustrious group of officers, have a hard time following it, then perhaps us who are strangers to your lands and customs may have a equally difficult time Except haliphax here. Clearly Dixie and huggable. We check profiles to determine who is DHPD or not, and if a officer has their squad in their description they maybe passed up. Or targeted. On a side note, not sure what Exalt/Smite does, but I'll be randomly clicking those buttons on various profiles to kill a bit of time

To be honest the question of who is or isn't a DHPD member hasn't really been an issue before, outside our internal record keeping on the forum.
When I went to look I had something of an "Oh Boy! This is going to be fun!" moment. My advice would be to count anyone flying our tags. I mean, if they want to impersonate us they should take the rough with the smooth, right?

It's an arbitrary status symbol here on the DHPD forums--someone is "Exalted", raising their "Karma", when they do something other members approve of. Somone is "Smote", lowering their "Karma", when they do something that other members disapprove of.
*avoids hugs*
Edit: I say... give the impostors the same treatment you would any legitimate DHPD member. If they want to kill in our name, they should be killed for the same reason(s).

The Dead at one point changed the dynamics of this game, greatly outnumber us, and are zombies. Very similar I know four of you? I've got more than four Spartans on my contact list, Magnar... are some older members or not coming along to play, or is your math... Aurthurian?

Aurthurian? razi - Yes, in fact it is only 4 of us who have come to do battle. While the carnage invoked may make it appear that you are being attacked by a larger group, you must understand that a Spartan warrior is equal to 10. gabby - bring it as I am wating. famzness - Don't get cocky. You are the one in need of a revive now. purple cat - Much thanks for trying to clear up what could be a confusing situation. I'm sure after this operation is over you will have fewer imposters as they will have learned that pretending to being in the DHPD isn't as fun as it used to be. ninjaelbow - You are to hit me with your fire axe. And are you the same ninjaelbow as on the ZS forums?

I'd be glad to do battle with you... Spartans. After all, who hasn't ever wanted to battle a Spartan (wait... no they don't!). Also, to point out the obvious, apparently the Dead Bunnies are ravaging Owsleybank, but that will not hamper our Glorious Battle. Best of luck! *makes a salute*

hmmm... coincidence that my student teaching experience ends on friday and these jokers show up?
I've got an axe, full offensive loadout, and a really large jones for any Spartans. Don't think i've forgotten the day you crashed the big malton wedding two years ago and murdered my lover and my brethren. tell me, does Tooth Decay still fly the flag? Please tell me he's joined the fun. I'll be looking for him on the field.
Famz, where am I needed? I'm always ready to show scum that they can't hack it.
