"No wonder they call them the Many... there's too Many of them!!!"

Prologue:
Wow... what a battle. I've been playing the online text-based game (yes, they ARE still around...) Urban Dead, in which the humans battle hordes of zombies. One of my characters was in Fort Creedy, and I'm part of the Creedy Defence Force, a resistance force to battle the undead hordes. And one of the most infamous hordes are aptly named "The Many".

As of now, Fort Creedy's barricades have been bashed in, and the defenders are horribly outnumbered. Yet they still continue to fight on...

Characters:
The zombies - As they're zombies, they can't speak properly. Apparently their vowels get kind of rattled. It's called Death Rattle.

Do look out for some of the human players, especially Von Luthius - some of their lines are ridiculously Monty Pythonesque...

Shit! The stuff you stumble across when bored and youd ecide to enter your character names/alias's online into google and hit search!

I am Von Luthius/Ram Rock Ed First, and this was the best trip down Memory Lane I could have asked for. I haven't spoken to most of those people for an age, dated melani long distance from half the world away for 8 months in RL, and am still kicking it up in UD. Damn, but thanks for having this up here, fantastic to read through it all again and relive an event that happened 2 years ago!
