| ===[[Zom]]===
| |
|
| |
|
| Pro-Survivor group [[Zom]] was started by no real leader, but by a board called /zom/ on a certain website.
| |
| Starting in late 2006, /zom/ has grown over the years and hit a peak of 160 active members, becoming part of the top 3 groups of Urban Dead.
| |
| Looking at the /zom/ wiki, you can see that /zom/ has embarked on many endeavors to save Malton from the zombie rapscallions.
| |
|
| |
|
| Just a few of many things we are proud of being a part of is The Fight to Hold [[Ackland Mall]], reclaiming [[Southall Mansion]] and calling it our own, and entering the top 3 groups of UD with 160 active members.
| | ==Recent Nominations== |
| | |
| I believe /zom/ deserves the historical status on the Urban Dead wiki because every one of the /zom/ members have fought a good fight, possibly changing Malton for the better, and it would be an honor if we got historical status for all our hard work over the years.

| |
| #'''Yes''' - Why not? They qualify, I believe, & they certainly had an effect on Malton, especially in the western regions. They were a big help in many sieges at Ackland Mall, and I liked the way they did things. They always seemed helpful and very practical, to me. --[[User:Jsrbrunty|Jsrbrunty]] 16:22, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
| |
| #'''Yes''' - They had a marked effect on the security of the western suburbs, but more than that they proved that an organized group without a specific leader could flourish, something that I hadn't witnessed before. [[User:LK Oddjob|LK Oddjob]] 18:56, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

| #'''Yes''' - I never knew them personally, but I have seen the fruits of their labor. They deserve recognition.--[[User:Claude Garrison|Claude Garrison]] 02:19, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

| |
| #'''Yes''' - From the start, /zom/ dove into Shearbank headfirst, unable to tell its ass from its head. Though its reputation and first impressions were shaky-the few willing to control the group struggled to keep its collective minds from running amok-they still gave their best effort into coexisting with their fellow survivors. There were many accusing fingers pointed toward their top hats. Conflict and suspicions had arisen by the dozen. However, the majority of the group always had good intentions in mind. After /zom/ finally gave up on living peacefully in Shearbank, they uprooted and made their way to Southall. When The Dead rose, they stood and fought against The Dead's many faces. Their history was littered with mall sieges and general pro-survival help efforts. They put efficiency first, and bragging second. As they had no idea who to boast about their efforts to, their roles in many of the sieges became almost invisible. Their members were faceless, and their numbers too many to count. They made their contributions, even if you didn't see them. They were a group that had fun whenever it had the chance, but it didn't fuck around when someone needed help.--[[User:Parkourartist|Parkourartist]] 05:07, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

| ==== No (Zom) ==== | | ==[[East Becktown Defenders]]== |
| | {{HistoricalVotingRules}} |
| | The East Becktown Defenders officially disbanded on [[EBD/Epitaph|May 1st, 2020]], which makes them eligible for Historical Group status. |
| | The EBD had been active since 2016, and included dozens of members, including both veterans and entire newbies. They maintained good relationships with survivor groups (including, but not limited to the DHPD, SoC, Knights Templar and the DEM) and zombie groups (specifically the Daubeney Resident Zombies next door, and of course our favourite frenemies in the RRF). |
| | Aside from regular survivor-style operations, they also brought a fun, no-pressure approach to the game, along with [[East_Becktown_Defenders/Tools|wiki-tools]] (like the automatic SitRep on their group page) and weird events (like the [[EBD_Stat_Party_2016|EBD StatParty]]). |
| | The group decided not to fade away like many others, but officially disbanded after exactly 4 years of activity. |

| #'''No'''. - Edited vote: Not important or significant beyond being relatively big.

| |
| #'''No''' - Moloch has it. While i did knew Zom/, i never heard about them doing anything ingame.

| |
| #'''No''' - A larger group shows up en masse and causes friction through misunderstanding with established groups and players? Uh, PTT did that years before /zom/. They basically gave the same experience point building drills most groups put their members through and called it an "xp orgy." The only thing surprising is they thought they were doing something original. They had ambitious plans to make various "landmarks" their HQ and ultimately failed in short order ... also nothing new. /Zom/ were funny, but they in no way matched the ULC. They thought they were something, but so doesn't every group. If someone can point to a specific event or, even better, tradition or tradition they're responsible for I'll change my vote, but everything here just reads like another outside game group showing up and being basically tourists for a summer. Nice of them to stop by, but no need for a monument. The group that came by a few months later and joined as a few thousand almost game breaking zombies, they were historic.--[[User:The Envoy|The Envoy]] 15:41, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
| |
| #'''No''' - I normally don't vote unless I've seen a group in action in-game, but I'm making an exception based on Zom's own justification above. As Iscariot said, being old and big doesn't merit historical status, nor does taking part in a mall siege (actually, I'd be more impressed if they'd never been involved in one of those). They seem like good eggs, though, and I wish them well. --[[User:Paddy Dignam|Paddy Dignam]] 02:57, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
