Purpose of this Poll
Over the last five years, Urban Dead has matured as a game, and with that maturity, both the number and themes of Urban Dead groups has grown. Currently, all groups are listed in their suburb(s) of choice under one of three categories: Survivor, Zombie, or Hostile. The purpose of this poll is very simple:
- Given the diverse growth of group types over the last couple of years (PKer, GKer, Dual-Nature, Life-cultist, Death-cultist, the Penultimate Zombie-Killing God with a Suborbital Laser Cannon, etc), do we, as a community, feel that our current classifications:
- accurately describe or classify the groups that do exist in a given suburb.
- are actually useful as an information resource for players?
- allow Group Leaders, especially new ones, to classify their group in a suburb both easily and quickly, with little confusion in classifier meaning?
- If we feel the current system falls short, is there a better one?
Polling Guidelines
This poll is divided into two sections:
- The first section will ask if you are satisfied with the current suburb group classification system.
- Please time-stamp your signature underneath either Yes or No.
- The only options are either Yes or No.
- The second section presents a list of alternative naming conventions proposed by the community.
- Please time-stamp your signature underneath the new classifications that you like.
- You may choose as many as you like. The order has been randomly selected.
- Please limit discussion to the talk page.
Things to keep in mind
- The UD wiki is a gaming resource. Individual suburb pages should be as informative as possible, especially for new players who may not know the history of a suburb. Likewise, group classifications should also be as informative as possible. We should strive for a system such that a new player can goto a suburb page and at a glance, know:
- How many groups are in / have been in that suburb.
- What type of group are they.
- What those type classifiers actually mean.
- Any classification system we choose should be able to classify a wide range of group types that currently exist in Urban Dead. Before you finish this poll, please go to the talk page, read the sample list of groups pulled from a variety of suburbs, and ask yourself the following:
- "Can the current/proposed system I am looking at now classify this list of groups easily?"
- Any classification system we choose should be easy to understand, especially for new players. As you read the poll, pretend you are a new group leader who barely knows how make a group page, and ask yourself the following:
- "Do I at a glance know what all these divisions mean in a given classification system, and is it easy for me to place my group into one of those divisions?"
- THIS IS NOT A VOTE. This is merely a tool for us, as a community, to (hopefully) come to some form of a consensus on how we feel about the current system, and whether or not there may be a better one. Please keep this in mind as you read the poll.
