| I was told I had to do this through here, but I'll keep it short. [[Escape]] is over - it was always designed to end on June 1, something that was heavily advertised throughout the duration of the movement.

| | 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. |

It's double the size of RRF, but only ran up until June 1st. Even though nothing was accomplished, either because the zombies had overtaken Ellicott or because Kevan didn't care, its a historic group nonetheless.--[[User:SykoKiller666|SykoKiller666]] 14:50, 6 June 2010 (BST) | |

| #:I understand your point, but events this big are few and far between nowadays.

Lots of joint strike operations and the like make for lots of fun. :) {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 11:41, 3 June 2010 (BST)
| |
| #'''No/Abstain''' - It's absolutely a historical group/event, but I'd like to see something on the page which details what happened. Now that the 1st and 2nd have come and gone, perhaps some of the people who participated can write up a little "post-event analysis". Then I'll happily vote yes.--{{User:Giles Sednik/sig}} 09:03, 3 June 2010 (BST)
| |
| #'''No''' - I feel that the ''event'' was HUGELY significant and should definitely be considered historical (see [[:Category_talk:Historical_Events|here]]), but the group itself failed to change the game at all and didn't do anything of significance aside from get together in one place and get themselves (along with everyone and everything else in a 10 block radius) killed by hungry zombies. Had they actually succeeded at their objectives, possibly even their secondary one of committing mass suicide by jumping, I might change my mind, but they didn't. Also, with 414 members still active in the group, that makes it far and away the largest in the game right now, so I think it's still too early to consider the group beyond the point of actively contributing (as the rules at the top of this page require). I know that's a bit of a technicality, but it's just one reason for my vote amongst several. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 11:25, 3 June 2010 (BST)
| |
| #:Typically groups made for a one-time purpose go into historical groups not events. Eg. [[Category_talk:Historical_Groups/SucceededArchive#Blackmore_Bastard_Brigade|BBB]], and more likening to Escape itself, [[Category_talk:Historical_Groups/SucceededArchive#Pre_voting_Historical_Groups|On strike]]. Just like Big Bash (which didn't really "change the game" besides be a horde but is still with my former examples in Historical Groups category), it's just the thing we do, I guess. --{{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig3}} 11:32, 3 June 2010 (BST)

| #::But if it's an event, then we avoid No Escape requesting the same thing. They'd both be pinned down under the same name.--{{User:Yonnua Koponen/signature}} 11:33, 3 June 2010 (BST)
| |
| #:::On Strike actually succeeded though, and as I said, had Escape succeeded, I may have changed my vote (likely would have). As for likening it to other events, why not the famous sieges and the like that are mentioned over [[:Category_talk:Historical_Events|here]]? This was essentially the biggest and shortest siege in recent history, after all. Yonnua also makes a good point about it covering all of the groups if it's an event. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 11:36, 3 June 2010 (BST)

| #'''No''' - Like my vote up there in the yes column says, it was very weak, and Aichon's changed my mind. As Aichon, and as I said before, but with much more frowny-face. >:( --{{User:Yonnua Koponen/signature}} 11:28, 3 June 2010 (BST) | |
| #'''No''' - This seems more like an event to me, and didn't actually change anything within the game. I supported the effort, but I don't think it deserves enshrinement like this given its eventual lack of any impact. {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 15:24, 3 June 2010 (BST)
| |
| #'''Hahahahahahahaha! Oh, wait. You're serious? Let me laugh harder. Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!''' - They didn't do shit other than get trolled to death. And they certainly didn't accomplish anything. And like Aichon said, the event might be historical, but the group isn't. The group is just a footnote on the event's historical page in my opinion. - {{User:Goribus/Sig}} 21:23, 3 June 2010 (BST)

| #'''Fuck no''' - As a group, their only virtue was numbers. They did everything that a group could do wrong and that's including them not achieving their stated goals.

| #'''No''' - Escape as a group failed as already mentioned, all they had were numbers and an idea. A huge part of what made the event fun was the zombies and PKers who showed up, and they are given little mention on the Escape group page. You're glorifying the failing element of a much larger thing. Make an event page, tell of all who were there and all that happened. --{{User:N0RDAK/Sig}} 18:06, 4 June 2010 (BST)

| #'''No''' - If you actually went by the original intent of the Escape page, you should have walked away from the game as of June 2nd. Since you are here requesting that the page be put up for a historical group, it's obvious that you didn't quit the game. As such, we shouldn't reward a tantrum with Historical status.

| #'''No''' for being one of the whiniest and zergiest "groups" since the Children of the Darque? Bugger off--{{User:AnimeSucks/Sig}} 19:43, 4 June 2010 (BST)
| |
| #'''No''' Massive incompetence and stupidity does not qualify a group for historical status. Even the event itself was ill conceived and not really all that significant. --[[User:Grogh|Grogh]] 22:41, 4 June 2010 (BST)

| #::Haha yeah, no reason to make '''another''' mistake! --[[User:Grogh|Grogh]] 02:35, 6 June 2010 (BST)
| |
| #'''No''' It's all been said. The value was in the event, not the group. If we're going to recognise anything, we should recognise the correct thing. -- [[User:Bisfan|Bisfan]] 00:23, 5 June 2010 (BST) | |

| #'''No''' - It's more of an event. The poor coordination showed by survivors lessened the feel of a "group". The arrival of Zombies and PKers from practically every big group in the game was what made it an event. Suggestion - Let's get a decent event page sorted.--{{User:Drawde/Sig}} 11:23, 5 June 2010 (BST)

| #I'm pretty sure that it was stated on the [[Escape]] page that they weren't really a group. - [[User:Whitehouse]] 11:48, 5 June 2010 (BST) | |
| #'''No''' Akule is right on the spot. I say no, it's a historical event. -- I'm just adding on here because I don't know where else to say this :3 Something you guys should think about was this was <b>just a big fail bandwagon (Escape, I mean), everyone just went "baaa" and sheeped over to Ellicott Place Railway Station. It's no historic group</b> --{{User:Senergy/Sig}} 17:42, 5 June 2010 (BST)
| |
| #'''No''' It was a pretty large event but as a group Escape failed to accomplish anything whatsoever, unless you count being delicious. --[[User:Globule13|Globule13]] 02:33, 6 June 2010 (BST)
| |
| #'''No''' No Escape ruined the group and prevented them reaching the stated goal. If No Escape didn't be ignorant dicks, they probably would of reach their goal. therefore, yes. No Escape should be "honored" for being the group that ruined it for everyone.--[[User:Lonercs|Lonercs]] 06:05, 6 June 2010 (BST)
| |
| #:Could you be any more bitter? The break in that resulted in your downfall was 13 zombies, at first. 380 survivors failed to dump them. Any "ruining" is down to the failure of the survivors concerned. Not all of them, but the vast majority of them. And ignorant dicks? We just happen to go where the food is. :) --{{User:Drawde/Sig}} 12:54, 6 June 2010 (BST)

| #'''No''' Was less of a group and more of a hangout for people. Doesn't fit criteria. --[[User:Saromu|Sonny Corleone]] <sup>[[DORIS]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pXfHLUlZf4 I jizzed in my pants] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91a8pHj7V9k pr0n]</sup> 09:09, 6 June 2010 (BST)

| #'''No''' - Like others, more of an event than a group. --[[User:Dr summeroff|Dr summeroff]] 17:35, 6 June 2010 (BST)

| #'''No''' Unless this nom is for most epic failure....--[[User:Agent Sandman|Agent Sandman]] 03:07, 7 June 2010 (BST)
| |
| #'''No''' I would love to say yes, but I'm afraid despite all the fun, energy and attention, it simply wasn't a group until the tinychat started. Even then only one in ten of the people supposedly 'in' Escape got involved. If more people gotten involved, and helped achieve of the aim of reclaiming Ellicott Place on June 1st, I would have said yes. As it is, this was a fun movement, a massive event, a great laugh, but not an Historical Group. {{User:RenegadeRomero/Sig}} 03:32, 7 June 2010 (BST)
