Immediate Stuff on Persons of Note
Greetings dear wiki friend. Simply put this is my attempt at creating a who's who of Urban Dead, and as such I'm looking for 20 or 30 characters who have had a lasting impact on UD.
The page itself is protected, but feel free to add nominations below.
Other than that, I'll add stuff as people convince me. Userspace and all that.
Cheers --Rosslessness 18:41, 11 July 2012 (BST)
Suggested format for Entries
==Ron Burgundy== [[File:RonDrag.jpg|right|thumb|Ron Burgundy ]] Ron Burgundy ([http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=26370 profile link]) was the leader of the [[Channel 4 News Team]]. He helped lead them into glorious battle on numerous occasions, including the infamous [[Battle of the Bear Pit]] and [[Battle of Blackmore]]. Ron participated in the [[First Siege of Caiger Mall]], and indeed almost every historical event prior to his retirement in 2008. His love of [[Suggestion:20071110_Pac_Man_in_Malton!|PacMan]] is well recorded, as well as scotch. Legend suggests his final resting place is somewhere in [[Ackland Mall]] [[User:Ron Burgundy|This link]] should tell you more about Ron.
Bump

Qualifications?
Just wondering what would qualify a person to be noted here? :) -- Johnny Twotoes 22:37, 10 July 2012 (BST)
- suggestions, really. Its not a hard and fast list. --Rosslessness 22:48, 10 July 2012 (BST)
- I nominate Johnny Twotoes! Dude's been playing for over a week now. --Paddy DignamIS DEAD 23:28, 10 July 2012 (BST)
PKers / Bounty Hunters
Any thoughts on entries for that?
As a general thing, game mechanics make it so that only survivors and zombies really have an impact on a suburb, while the contributions of PKers and BHers are small and short-lived (cheap revives, no AP draining by meatshielding/ruining etc.) Still, "the third side" is a popular and distinctive feature of UD, so it should have at least a couple of token entries. Sirens could be a good pick (founder of Red Rum, the biggest and most important PKer group of long term), as could be one of the founders of the Philosophe Knights (who have definitively put their very own spin on the whole PKing business, and have been doing that for a long time now). As for BHers, no real idea for singling anyone out. -- Spiderzed█ 19:05, 11 July 2012 (BST)
- Its a fair cop, and as someone who doesnt involve this facet of the game, one I'll need most help on. --Rosslessness 19:10, 11 July 2012 (BST)
- Sirens and Karloth would be good examples of noteworthy pkers. Particularly that are known around the rest of the game. Sirens is less notable for a number of reasons related to meta-drama and relative quietness for years. --Karekmaps 2.0?! 21:15, 11 July 2012 (BST)
Oh, can I nominate myself? I revitalized the Malton Manhunt with my own strings of events that bought the community together for a glorious fun time of killing each other for sport. It was my events that bought the Manhunt era into it's golden age, after all. :P --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 04:20, 12 July 2012 (BST)
I would imagine
...if you are doing just 30 you will need to be conservative but I would think that Jensonson and Bullgod should make the cut. On the more debatable side, I might suggest Josh Clark and Leon Silverblood. Josh's merits were discussed by many in the recent group vote. Leon would be more controversial. He has a lot of detractors, but like him or not, he has been around for a long time and had his fingers in a lot of pies. He is a case of someone who is more known in game than on the wiki I think. DJ talent might also fit for notoriety in his field as would Hibernaculum. --

- Josh Clark and Bullgod, yes. Jensonson, maybe. The others, nope. Is there something you can point me to that would explain their inclusion? --

Katthew
I nominate Katthew. Nobody can really deny how ingrained in UD that SA has been. From The Many to DARIS, UTF, New CoL, The Dead, The Malton Globetrotters and The Dead 2.0, Katthew was there. Katthew was all up in Desenz and maintaind the PK list for a long while. I beleive she even helped ressurect the board after it went down and eventually moved to Resenz. I keep expecting her to spring out of the dark shadows one day to make us all her bitch. Katthew is definitely a person of note. ~ 03:19, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
