Guides/Review

This page is for the community review of new guides. This is so the Guides page does not get filled up with nonsensical guides (like it was at one point,) and that their is a minimum standard of quality on the Guides page. Guides which pass this review have a template added to the page ({{GuideReviewed}}) and featured guides will have {{FeaturedGuide}} added to the page. Guides which do not pass a community review will not be added to the Guides page, but may still carry [[Category:Guides]]. This is so that guides that are deemed good and worthy by the community are easily findable by newer players, while less accurate guides can still be found, but aren't presented as prominently.

Guides are reviewed through a voting process. There are three eligible votes:

• Support - to indicate support for the guide's inclusion on the page
• Abstain - to not formally vote, but still offer input on the discussion
• Against - to indicate disapproval for the guide's inclusion on the page

After one week, the votes will be tallied.

• A guide which has more than 75% Support will be placed at a "Featured Guides" section at the top of the guides page
• A guide which has more than 50% Support will be placed on the page, in the appropriate section (survivor, zombie, or player killer.)
• A guide which has less than or equal to 50% Support will not be placed on the page
• Guides which don't attract any votes will not be placed on the page

General criteria which should be considered before a guide is included on the page are:

1. Formatting - There must be no obvious formatting errors in the text. The guide must work in all major browsers
2. Accuracy - The guide must be accurate
3. Clarity - The guide must be easy to read, with no obvious spelling or grammar errors.

Please note that neutrality and civility are not requirements.

Voting

Please add {{Guidesvoting}} on the guide before nominating it. Please inform the author if they are still active and can easily be found.

Guides:The Zombie Lexicon

For

1. Helpful for anyone that is new to death rattle or can't quite figure out a word. --Papa Johnny 14:28, 15 July 2009 (BST)
2. As Johnny, but as Jed too. It needs an amended version for more day-to-day zombie words. Linkthewindow  Talk  14:30, 15 July 2009 (BST)
3. Fresh. If everyone familiarized themselves with the material and had this common reference point zombie communication would be quite effective. Also i agree it could use a little facelift. --_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 16:28, 15 July 2009 (BST)
4. I have used this so much, it's not even funny. It's incredibly useful. Did I mention it's useful? --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 17:45, 15 July 2009 (BST)
5. --Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 17:58, 15 July 2009 (BST)
6. --Cyberbob 09:39, 16 July 2009 (BST)
7. Useful --♥ Moonie ^{Talk | Testimonials} 12:25, 17 July 2009 (BST)

Against

1. Scary. Who wasted their life on this crap? Would be irresponsible to encourage anyone else to waste their life reading/learning this rot.--
   
   | T | BALLS! | 13:57 15 July 2009(BST)
2. While it is impressive and worth a casual read, anyone who thinks your average zombie (or even a super intelligent one) would understand half this crap is going to be wasting ap with nonsensical commands. --xoxo 14:05, 15 July 2009 (BST)
3. -- T^HEL^ORDG^UNS^LINGER 14:59, 15 July 2009 (BST)
4. As J3D. Would be better if a concise version were created. - User:Whitehouse 15:05, 15 July 2009 (BST)

Guides:The Zombie Lexicon/Zombie Song Lyrics

For

Against

1. Jesus Christ, even more useless than the first Lexicon. Seriously, people, go outside once and awhile.--
   
   | T | BALLS! | 14:00 15 July 2009(BST)
2. Fun, but ultimate pointless. Linkthewindow  Talk  14:31, 15 July 2009 (BST)
3. -- T^HEL^ORDG^UNS^LINGER 14:59, 15 July 2009 (BST)
4. Doesn't really help the reader much. - User:Whitehouse 15:09, 15 July 2009 (BST)
5. It's hilarious and I'd love to give a link to "have a good time" by queen. More of a humorous article than a guide though.--_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 16:29, 15 July 2009 (BST)
6. Humorous, not really a guide-guide. Well, maybe for RPing. A little. --Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 17:58, 15 July 2009 (BST)
7. --Cyberbob 09:39, 16 July 2009 (BST)
8. Good, as a subpage of zombie lexicon --♥ Moonie ^{Talk | Testimonials} 12:25, 17 July 2009 (BST)

Guides:Fast Zombie Builds

For

Against

1. Good God, some of you really know how to suck the life out of ANYTHING. Play a game, don't follow boring, dry formulas. Fuck's sake.--
   
   | T | BALLS! | 14:06 15 July 2009(BST)
2. -- T^HEL^ORDG^UNS^LINGER 14:59, 15 July 2009 (BST)
3. Shitty build path IMO. --Papa Johnny 14:55, 15 July 2009 (BST)
4. --Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 17:58, 15 July 2009 (BST)
5. Most of the info here is also present in Guides:Zombie. And the section on starting as a human isn't very comprehensive. --_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 03:17, 16 July 2009 (BST)
6. --Cyberbob 09:39, 16 July 2009 (BST)

Guides:Zombie Metagame

For

1. Keep, but needs expansion. Also, I don't quite get what Zombie Lord's got against the metagame. It's what turns UD from just another random browser game to having an active, organized community. Linkthewindow  Talk  14:33, 15 July 2009 (BST)
2. Short, sweet and to the point.--_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 03:22, 16 July 2009 (BST)

Against

1. Kill this weak-minded play-style with fire! Up with individual zombie power, down with the fuckin lame ass HIVE MIND! --
   
   | T | BALLS! | 14:10 15 July 2009(BST)
2. Unless the article gets revised to reflect the current meta community better (barhah.com being the main hub for most zombie groups) and removing most the the last half of the article, I don't see much value in this rather outdated article. --Papa Johnny 14:36, 15 July 2009 (BST)
3. -- T^HEL^ORDG^UNS^LINGER 14:59, 15 July 2009 (BST)
4. --Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 17:58, 15 July 2009 (BST)
5. --Cyberbob 09:39, 16 July 2009 (BST)

X:00

For

1. I've always liked groups/guides/ideas that think outside the UD box.--xoxo 12:32, 15 July 2009 (BST)
2. As Jed. Linkthewindow  Talk  14:14, 15 July 2009 (BST)
3. Good article, current activities needs revision to remove MT'07 as being "current." --Papa Johnny 14:38, 15 July 2009 (BST)
4. A helpful article. Good idea too. -- T^HEL^ORDG^UNS^LINGER 14:59, 15 July 2009 (BST)
5. --Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 17:58, 15 July 2009 (BST)
6. One of the better tactics out there and a well written guide explaining that tactic. --_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 03:23, 16 July 2009 (BST)
7. --Cyberbob 09:39, 16 July 2009 (BST)
8. I think this is one of the better tactics on this wiki -- Cwissball ^PKer / Cwissb ^{Dual Nature} 00:01, 17 July 2009 (BST)
9. --♥ Moonie ^{Talk | Testimonials} 12:25, 17 July 2009 (BST)

Against

1. Meh. This is ok, I suppose, considering the game rules are so broken right now. The need for Tactics like this are part of what's wrong with the "game".--
   
   | T | BALLS! | 14:13 15 July 2009(BST)

User:Siddhant/Guide:The Zombie Returns

For

Against

1. Another shitty formula guide. Why even play a game if you're going to do this? --
   
   | T | BALLS! | 14:15 15 July 2009(BST)
2. -- T^HEL^ORDG^UNS^LINGER 14:59, 15 July 2009 (BST)
3. --Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 17:58, 15 July 2009 (BST)
4. This is actually a very well considered article. I like the mention of junkyard and church selection and the emphasis on upgrading claw attacks. However it falls a little short as a complete guide on a very broad subject. --_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 03:38, 16 July 2009 (BST)
5. --Cyberbob 09:39, 16 July 2009 (BST)

Pillaging

For

1. Not a bad general zambah guide. --Papa Johnny 14:46, 15 July 2009 (BST)
2. --Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 17:58, 15 July 2009 (BST)
3. About as good as Guides:Zombie with some alternate considerations such as when to use feeding groan. Good reading. --_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 03:43, 16 July 2009 (BST)
4. --Cyberbob 09:39, 16 July 2009 (BST)

Against

1. More formula/Metagaming bullshit. --
   
   | T | BALLS! | 14:17 15 July 2009(BST)
2. -- T^HEL^ORDG^UNS^LINGER 14:59, 15 July 2009 (BST)

Guides: The Zombie Vulture

For

Against

1. Sigh. More formula crap. What happened to imagination? Video Games kill it all? I weep for this generation. --
   
   | T | BALLS! | 14:19 15 July 2009(BST)
2. -- T^HEL^ORDG^UNS^LINGER 14:59, 15 July 2009 (BST)
3. --Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 17:58, 15 July 2009 (BST)
4. An interesting idea but it feels incomplete. I'd like to see a more thorough and fully realized evaluation of leeching off of higher level zombies. --_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 03:44, 16 July 2009 (BST)
5. --Cyberbob 09:39, 16 July 2009 (BST)

Annoy the Harmanz

For

1. General advice. Not too horrible. --
   
   | T | BALLS! | 14:21 15 July 2009(BST)

Against

1. --Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 17:58, 15 July 2009 (BST)
2. Basically just gives a brief summary of how this one person likes to play the game. Not terribly useful as such.--_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 03:49, 16 July 2009 (BST)
3. --Cyberbob 09:39, 16 July 2009 (BST)
4. As Giles, it does have some good points, however. Linkthewindow  Talk  09:41, 16 July 2009 (BST)

How to win Mall Siege (Zombie)

For

Against

1. Pretty obvious stuff. Not really guide worthy. --
   
   | T | BALLS! | 14:23 15 July 2009(BST)
2. -- T^HEL^ORDG^UNS^LINGER 14:59, 15 July 2009 (BST)

4. --Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 17:58, 15 July 2009 (BST)
5. Yeh this just isn't detailed enough to be a guide.--_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 03:51, 16 July 2009 (BST)
6. --Cyberbob 09:39, 16 July 2009 (BST)

A Quick Zombie Guide

For

Against

1. Lame. Kill it. --
   
   | T | BALLS! | 14:24 15 July 2009(BST)
2. -- T^HEL^ORDG^UNS^LINGER 14:59, 15 July 2009 (BST)

4. --Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 17:58, 15 July 2009 (BST)

6. --Cyberbob 09:39, 16 July 2009 (BST)

Selective Targeting

For

1. A good start for the article, but it definitely needs to be properly expanded on. I might do that later if I get around to it. --Papa Johnny 14:57, 15 July 2009 (BST)

Against

1. Kill with fire. --
   
   | T | BALLS! | 14:25 15 July 2009(BST)
2. -- T^HEL^ORDG^UNS^LINGER 14:59, 15 July 2009 (BST)
3. Expand it, and then re-submit it for review. :P --Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 17:58, 15 July 2009 (BST)
4. As Papa Johnny and BobBoberton.--_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 06:43, 16 July 2009 (BST)
5. --Cyberbob 09:39, 16 July 2009 (BST)

Claw for Grasp, Bite for Threes

For

2. --Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 17:58, 15 July 2009 (BST)
3. --Cyberbob 09:39, 16 July 2009 (BST)
4. Swing vote--Bonghit420 07:20, 17 July 2009 (BST)

Against

1. In the real world, math wins. But this is Urban Dead with its lame ass broken RNG. While this would totally make sense with a real numbers generator, it's worthless as far as it "applies" to UD's RNG. --
   
   | T | BALLS! | 14:28 15 July 2009(BST)
2. -- T^HEL^ORDG^UNS^LINGER 14:59, 15 July 2009 (BST)
3. A very nice idea and well reasoned update, but it feels like this could be folded into the beyond average damage guide.--_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 06:45, 16 July 2009 (BST)

Getting Started as a Feral Zombie

For

1. Not horrible. Needs updating. Best guide in the whole lot so far for this go around. (That's not saying much though) --
   
   | T | BALLS! | 14:31 15 July 2009(BST)
2. I'd love to vote against this just because you are being so obnoxious ZL, but it really is an excellent guide. Needs a tiny update because of new diagnosis abilities.--_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 06:48, 16 July 2009 (BST)

Against

1. The only one ZL voted for. ;)--xoxo 14:36, 15 July 2009 (BST)

8. --Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 17:58, 15 July 2009 (BST)

Against

1. Another dry, boring ass, point squeezing, life draining, zero imagination, piece of shit formula guide. Terminate with extreme prejudice. --
   
   | T | BALLS! | 14:36 15 July 2009(BST)

Guides:Corpse

A survival guide for Corpse characters. - User:Whitehouse 02:39, 8 July 2009 (BST)

For

1. Half good. Half formula shit-fest. Better than the Zombie one. --
   
   | T | BALLS! | 14:37 15 July 2009(BST)

Against

1. Redundant. The Zombie one is better. --Cyberbob 02:15, 9 July 2009 (BST)
2. --Mr. Angel, Help needed? 02:18, 9 July 2009 (BST)
3. --i did not like it.--Bonghit420 02:23, 9 July 2009 (BST).

Guides:Career Zombie

A guide to zombie tactics/playing-styles. - User:Whitehouse 02:39, 8 July 2009 (BST)

For

1. Again, slightly redundant but the number crunching is nice.--Cyberbob 02:15, 9 July 2009 (BST)
2. --Mr. Angel, Help needed? 02:18, 9 July 2009 (BST)
3. Another half good/half shit guide. 51% not shit. --
   
   | T | BALLS! | 14:40 15 July 2009(BST)

Against

1. Guides:Beyond average damage covers the numbers, Guides:Zombie covers the rest, and I wonder about the validity of a "chaser" zombie when few attacks happen in real time. --_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 20:46, 9 July 2009 (BST)
2. Like the other zambah guide which I just voted against, this gives weird and in places very inaccurate advice. For example: "So Hording at low levels is pretty much irrelevant. It's nice to have company though." Uhmmmmm... No. If you're a babah the first thing you should do is join a good horde. --WanYao 17:43, 10 July 2009 (BST)
3. -- T^HEL^ORDG^UNS^LINGER 14:59, 15 July 2009 (BST)
4. --Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 17:58, 15 July 2009 (BST)

P.I.S.I.T.

I wrote it in order to see if I could get some of the trenchies to stop being unco-operative douches and help out, instead of ignoring everyone and just killing all the zombies, over and over. --Blake Firedancer ^{T E RNL? P.I.S.I.T.} 14:36, 8 July 2009 (BST)

For

Against

1. It's literally telling people to do the same things as any regular survivor's guide. --Cyberbob 02:15, 9 July 2009 (BST)
2. --Mr. Angel, Help needed? 02:18, 9 July 2009 (BST)
3. As cyberbob. --_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 20:47, 9 July 2009 (BST)
4. No real trenchcoater considers himself a trenchcoater. Nor do they read guides. And, finally, as cyberbob. --WanYao 17:45, 10 July 2009 (BST)
