Not sure what you're talking about there, "without admin backup"?
What I say. do you want to go up against 30+ socks without an admin to be able to throw around protection and blocking?
Why are you talking about a situation without admins? I don't know where you got this from.
Wouldn't bother with resysopping. Just keep up the attack with the next sock. or wait a few days and use that one. either way by the time all the sock are blocked it is too too late.
Too late for what?
To prevent the damage.
OK, maybe you don't know this yet, but all changes in MediaWiki can be undone. There is no such thing as permanent damage.
Because that has been what has happened with 100% of our vandals so far.
Yes, precisely.
[[Irony]]
The irony lies in the fact that your ironically-meant statement is actually true. (Well, almost. Of course there are negligible numbers of people who are truly persistent. But on the whole, very close to 100% of all vandals give up.)
