Being a response to The Watcher's Recent Appearance.¹⁾

See also the Outpost Invasion Plan.

Stay close to your friends, listen to your clan leaders, don't be a dick. Help out as much as you can, organize your clan if your leaders are not doing so already. Take a stand.

We may die, we may be wounded, but do not fear. Steel yourself for the battle ahead.

Below is a list of the Outposts and their particular defenses, and a list of the Clan Outpost assignments.

Good luck, kick arse.

Here is my understanding of how each place is currently being defended and by whom. This would be the list to check if you are clan-less or otherwise unoccupied by other order

Ace High

• Clans: Part of DICE

• Natural Defenses: None whatsoever²⁾³⁾. Close Jungle (disadvantage)

• Established Defenses: walls (grenade-proofed), cleared line of sight and fire to the Jungle. Traps set on Jungle's edge and along likely routes (northwest, northeast). A veritable hell of an entanglement of razor wire, linear shaped discharges and poles, complete with trip-wired grenades with maximized shrapnel output and trip-flares stretching a little over half the wall-Jungle distance. Weak points are designed for enfilage fire.

• Established Offenses: 8 gun artillery battery of 32-pounder naval long guns.

• Other Defenders:

Cyber City 404

• Clans: Part of QQQ

• Natural Defenses: High Ground, so advance warning. Remote.

• Established Defenses: Sharpened spikes driven into the ground around the perimeter. Also, possibly, an army of robots, although we've yet to battle-test them.

• Established Offenses: Scattered caltrops

• Other Defenders: Anyone who has a vested interest in keeping the Warehouse safe⁴⁾; DICE, when NewHome and Ace High are secure.

Improbable Central

• Clans: GERM⁵⁾, at least some of MAAT(Kitten, Alternatecash, Amerithe, Doktor Q)

• Natural Defenses: Flat plains, no ground cover for invaders, the rage of all IIslanders at the thought of the booze dispensery being damaged⁶⁾.

• Established Defenses: Steel reinforcement on all outer walls, pitiful moat, wooden spikes and brass caltrops at the base of the wall, iron spikes on top of the wall. Never mind all that nonsense! We've marbles at the top of the stairs. Tar and treacle on the steps. Audrey's hedgehogs embunkered in, spines at the ready for any barefoot monsters. We've swinging paint tins and.. . here's the one.. . we've wired up the main gate door handle to the mains! High-voltage fencing (if the fuses aren't out again), and a gods-awesome Lightning Cannon on the south gate turret!⁷⁾

• We've also got something else in the frying pan and I don't mean the one which is swinging evilly at face height at the North gate, but we've built a huge kiddys play area-cum-adventure playground outside of the town. Those silly mon-mons won't know what's hit 'em!

• Established Offenses: Boiling Oil frames on each corner of the outer walls, giant slingshots mounted ⁸⁾ atop the walls Blah, blah, blah. Sink has pissed everywhere. The smell is very offensive.

• Other Defenders: Karel, Da Spook, Ferryn

Kittania

• Clans: ROGUE, UP, ICEE

• Natural Defenses: A General Cat Pee smell

• Established Defenses: The Roaring Palisade- a mechanized metal wall with hidden flamethrowers and mounted , manned turrents. Snow Blockade.⁹⁾

• Established Offenses: Mines, booby traps, and other such weapons. Currently fininshed: All Jungle around Kittania Completly mined and booby trapped¹⁰⁾. A filled moat¹¹⁾, and 40 ¹²⁾ feet of electrified razor wire.

• Other Defenders: 250 Mechanimals made by GL, Hax and his Mechs. , BuckNasty and the ROGUE swim team. ICEE members with ice javelins.¹³⁾

NewHome

• Clans: Part of DICE

• Natural Defenses: Strange orange goo, belligerent gatekeeper, off-putting nudity. Close Jungle (disadvantage).

• Established Defenses: Wooden walls supported by metal struts and many wooden braces. Dojo Tower, Clan Hall Tower, Sheila's Tower, and the South Tower. Warning jingle-bell alarm system. Highly-decorated trenches, filled with razor wire. Perimeter lighting: glowing stones, sticks, and a sign in the air that reads “MONSTERS - GO - AWAY.” ¹⁴⁾ A searchlight in the Dojo Tower.

• Established Offenses: Socktopus slingshot grenade-launcher. Old-school traps and snares. Vicious, pointy-stabby things that are not nice to step on. Nets, coated in gum and glass dust (ouch). Confetti cannon. Attack ferrets (in miniature airplanes, of course). Something John Constantine did.¹⁵⁾

• Other Defenders: Lots and lots of Rookies. Tea party goers. Fans of the Museum.

New Pittsburgh

• Clans: TAMED

• Natural Defenses: Overpowering stench. Endemic molds, mildews, and other sundry rots. Slippery brain chunks everywhere.

• Established Defenses: Duchess's Spider Silk spun between the trees. Trenches.¹⁶⁾

• Established Offenses: A Watchtower, equipped with a Flamethrower.¹⁷⁾ Pipe bomb trap¹⁸⁾ near the entrance, marked by “DANGER” sign.¹⁹⁾

• Other Defenders:

Pleasantville

• Clans: Part of QQQ

Squat Hole

• Clans: AIB

• Other Defenders:
