Obtaining Historical Status

A policy is in place which outlines the method to attain historical status.

Events must have been declared over. The event must have affected either multiple suburbs or how the game was played for a group, such as triggering a change. A nomination should be made on Category_talk:Historical Events. An announcement should be made on Wiki News, and {{HistoricalEventVoting}} should be put on the event's wiki page. Within two weeks of a nomination, the Event must be approved by 2/3 of the voters, with a minimum of 15 voters (or 10 YES votes) for a nomination to pass. The only allowable votes are Yes and No Events that pass will be added to the category as described below. Events must allow a week to pass between nominations.

Nominations for Historical Status

User:RadioSurvivor

What can I say about Uncle Zeddie and Radio Survivor, really? And, how else can you classify Radio Survivor -- except as a year-long event that took place in- and out-of-game, and affected countless players and groups throughout Malton. --WanYao 08:27, 28 September 2008 (BST)

1. Yes - Just the game-wide man-hunt alone affected "multiple sururbs" and "how the game was played" for numerous groups and players. Basically, if you missed Uncle Zeddie, you weren't playing Urban Dead for the last year. --WanYao 08:16, 28 September 2008 (BST)
2. No - No clue wtf this is.--Jorm 08:32, 28 September 2008 (BST)
3. Yes - it was big on brainstock.--Kristi of the Dead 08:45, 28 September 2008 (BST)

Malton Block Party

The first annual Malton Block Party has officially ended. I believe it is historical in a few ways. A very small number of people managed to repair up enough buildings for survivor attendees in the very heart of the city, Stanbury Village. When it actually began many survivors, PKers, and zombies made the trek from across the city to attend. Tuesday saw a group of perhaps a dozen humans staying outside in Whetcombe Park until roughly Thursday, with a brief speech from myself on Wednesday. Aside from the barfight in The Corfield Arms on Thursday and the free-for-all deathmatch in the Kersley Mansion on Saturday, there were very few deaths over the course of the week, with most present observing the no-kill policy.--Labine50 ^{MEMS | MHG} 00:10, 28 September 2008 (BST)

1. Yes - See above.--Labine50 ^{MEMS | MHG} 00:10, 28 September 2008 (BST)
2. Yes - A righteous blast. -- Atticus Rex ^{mfu pif} Δ 00:36, 28 September 2008 (BST)
3. No - It just freaking happened. Hell, why didn't you put this up before you even did the event? --Sonny Corleone ^{DORIS MSD pr0n} 00:59, 28 September 2008 (BST)

   Because then it wouldn't have given you an ulcer and you would have felt like a pussy for not having one.--Labine50 ^{MEMS | MHG} 01:38, 28 September 2008 (BST)

   The Block Party failed at being notable and giving me an ulcer. The lack of the USC vs. UAB football game on tv is giving me one. --Sonny Corleone ^{DORIS MSD pr0n} 01:40, 28 September 2008 (BST)

4. No - What the hell was this, and how is it notable again?--Jorm 01:42, 28 September 2008 (BST)

   Hmm...we found out that one could pour beer and wine into generators, damaging them? I don't know if this wonderful bit of text flavor and game effect had ever been officially noted yet... --Jen 01:51, 28 September 2008 (BST)

   Is that true, Jen? If it is, I'm voting yes just on the basis of that discovery alone. What an awesome way of GKing... --Target Practice 02:02, 28 September 2008 (BST)

   Aww...darn. I was wrong. Looks like it actually has been noted before. *sigh* Shucks, I thought we had something good going there. :( --Jen 02:04, 28 September 2008 (BST)

   Wait...unless the 17th was during the block party...hmm. Now I'm curious. --Jen 02:05, 28 September 2008 (BST)

5. No - What jorm said. -- Grogh 02:06, 28 September 2008 (BST)

   I'm sorry, but did either of you notice the paragraph below the heading "Malton Block Party", where I explained both what it was and why it was notable?--Labine50 ^{MEMS | MHG} 02:11, 28 September 2008 (BST)

   Yes, it was noticed and read. Still a NO vote because it was so minor as to not deserve historical status. -- Grogh 02:34, 28 September 2008 (BST)

6. No - . . <== DDR Approved Editor 02:14, 28 September 2008 (BST)
7. No - Most of the other historical events involve hundreds, if not thousands of players. Whilst twelve humans lasting two days outside unscathed is impressive, I'm not so sure it's historical. Kudos on noticing the beer vs generator thing, though. --Target Practice 02:17, 28 September 2008 (BST)

   The event itself involved hundreds of people -- well over a hundred anyway. :D Just because only a dozen or so had the guts to camp outside for 24+ hours, don't think for a second that there wasn't a hell of a lot more to the party than that. -- Atticus Rex ^{mfu pif} Δ 02:33, 28 September 2008 (BST)

   The most I ever saw in the Arms was 50-something... --Jen 02:37, 28 September 2008 (BST)

8. Yes - Because I'm bribing Labine. ;) Though the beer vs. generator thing has almost sold me. --Jen 02:30, 28 September 2008 (BST)
9. No - Never heard of it. --The Grimch ^{U! E!} 02:37, 28 September 2008 (BST)
10. No - The fact that you had to describe what it was and why it was historical is proof enough that it shouldn't be inducted.--Nallan (Talk) 02:39, 28 September 2008 (BST)

    You realise that in order to make a submission within the rules of the page, you have to describe the event, right?--Labine50 ^{MEMS | MHG} 06:11, 28 September 2008 (BST)

    Actually I didn't - could you point out to me where it says that because I can't see it. If it does, I apologise, but stand by my vote. Seems that an event's name alone should ring a bell for most UD players for it to be historical. This just didn't for me.--Nallan (Talk) 07:46, 28 September 2008 (BST)

    It's in the hidden text when you add a new nomination. It tells you to add a "Reason for nomination"--Labine50 ^{MEMS | MHG} 08:04, 28 September 2008 (BST)

11. No - As jorm and target practice. --WanYao 05:07, 28 September 2008 (BST)

    addendum - a Brainstock daisy-jerk circle-train does not historical make... sorry. --WanYao 07:58, 28 September 2008 (BST)

12. Yes - I attended the party and it was a great event in having PKers,Survivors,Bounty Hunters and Zombies all getting along together. It had some fun events, including the bar fight.--Josh Clark 05:13, 28 September 2008 (BST)
13. No - You're joking, right? --ZsL 05:32, 28 September 2008 (BST)
14. 'Yes - Awesome event with survivors, PKers, BHers and even a few random zombies coexisting peacefully (for awhile at least). You don't normally see that every day.--Dr. Allison Wolf ^{MEMS Talk PIF} 06:23, 28 September 2008 (BST)
15. Yes - Great fun. Some of you are kinda jaded aren't ya?--Kristi of the Dead 06:25, 28 September 2008 (BST)

    Something being "fun" isn't a valid reason for it to be listed as historic, to be put on the same list as sieges with upwards of 1000 combatants and game-changing events.--Nallan (Talk) 07:36, 28 September 2008 (BST)

    Ah, right, because Yahoomas was a game-changing event. Or because this is a game, after all, and therefore the concept of "fun" just doesn't apply. -- Atticus Rex ^{mfu pif} Δ 08:23, 28 September 2008 (BST)

16. No - Yeah, so there were 10 people in a pub for a couple days, and we sprayed some graffiti, and called it a party... so can I get it declared historical? Please? Yes, maybe you had fun, but that doesn't make it historical. --JaredV 08:02, 28 September 2008 (BST)

You ought to know there was more than 10 people. I mean the CK was there and all. I suspect you guys have 10 members don't ya? So there'd have to way more than 10 people in the pub and what not.--Kristi of the Dead 08:49, 28 September 2008 (BST)

Secondary list of chronological order?

Any votes against the creation of a timeline below the alphabetically ordered list of historical events? I'd list the events along with the dates they ran. I just think it'd provide for a more reasonable reading of this page, and world lore. Jeffool 10:55, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

On a Category page nothing can go below the alphabetical list, however, if anyone is interested in making something like this it could be useful, although I think one might already exist somewhere. And I found it Timeline--Karek^maps?! 13:03, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Although it looks like that needs much reworking.--Karek^maps?! 13:04, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

March of the dead

There's no arguing this didn't affect most of malton. And the find rate for syringes had to be raised to stop it so it sure changed the way we play the game.
