Suggestion description
I'm just wondering if you'd all consider a wap version of the game, i found the game with my phone and it works somewhat but to play fully with it i have to come in though a google search and sometimes it says i used up all my actions for the day before i even get started so i'd like to suggest a wap version or wap friendly site version so that people like me could play or use without a pc around.

Keep Votes

1. Keep - I think it would be a cool idea.--Jamie Cantwel3 ^Talk 19:38, 8 May 2008 (BST)
2. Keep - I have smart phone so this is less of an issue but a WAP version of UD would completely rock! In before people crying that this would give Kevan too much work or coding to do.--  ^Z_Z 19:49, 8 May 2008 (BST)
3. Keep - Love it. I could play UD on my phone without having to deal with firewalls and proxies (most of which are always used up because of stupid zergers). Plus I think it would be cool for people to be able to check up on their characters from anywhere. --Tselita 20:09, 8 May 2008 (BST)
4. Keep - Because I want to kill more people, more easily. --Vandurn 03:25, 9 May 2008 (BST)
5. weak keep - maybe... --~~~~ [talk] 11:30, 9 May 2008 (BST)
6. Weak Keep - Only if it wouldn't take an enormous time and effort to see it through. I would love to use my phone for Urban Dead. -- T^HEL^ORDG^UNS^LINGER 16:57, 9 May 2008 (BST)
7. Keep - Coding reasons are not valid votes. WAP is a wireless protocol for cell phones and PDAs. I don't have either. Voting Keep because 'wap play' sounds mildly pornographic. --Barton 17:56, 9 May 2008 (BST)
8. Keep - On the condition that it would in no way damage the game at the moment (loss of code, slower response for non-wap users) or the way hte game is played (easier to mask zerging). Other than that I don't see a problem. While its perfecty acceptable to make the game accessable to wap users - (though wouldn't it cost an absolute fortune? - I used it once to look up something like the TV times and it cost me a quid) - I wouldn't want it to come at a cost to normal internet users who are in the majority.--Seventythree^Talk 19:06, 9 May 2008 (BST)
9. Keep - I suppose so. --ZsL 19:27, 9 May 2008 (BST)
10. Keep - UD for all!! --Heretic144 02:37, 10 May 2008 (BST)
11. keep - so you want to play on your cell phone? that seems like a waste. crazy kids and their cellphones on the interweb --Scotw 12:13, 10 May 2008 (BST)
12. Keep - Would be nice to play from my phone. --Pgunn 00:38, 11 May 2008 (BST)
13. keep - I have a smartphone but I'm also voting keep because I've moved on to the 21st century --Katsman 23:15, 11 May 2008 (BST)
14. Keep - why not? --Pdeq^Talk* 23:20, 11 May 2008 (BST)
15. Keep - I don't beleve "asscrab" is a valid kill voting reason. --UCFSD 13:44, 12 May 2008 (BST)
16. Keep - WAP is wireless. People living in this century use wireless. Get into the modern age. You go outside instead - I'm going to use WAP. And coding is not a valid spam reason. -Stewie 05:30, 13 May 2008 (BST)
17. Keep- I vote yes --Howser 21:28, 13 May 2008 (BST)
18. Although I am very strong, this keep is very weak - I have nothing else to say --Machismo 00:55, 14 May 2008 (BST)
19. I didn't know there was a difference between games that can be used on computers and games that can be used on phones (first time voter, if I made a mistake please fix it, thanks) -- Allison 15:51, 14 May 2008 (BST)
20. Keep - WAP is what happens when you annoy me. If you annoy me, I wap you in the head. WAP! And hey #99... poor people need to play on their phones too, you rich elitist! Out of touch with the common man! The proletariot shall destroy you and your bougeoisie kind, when the revolution comes. Oh yes... they will. --Zaphod Beeblebrox 19:11, 14 May 2008 (BST)
21. Keep - Who cares if this can be abused by zergers? Anything can be abused by zergers. The question is can this be abused by them more than the already existing methods of zerging can be? The answer is no. I want to play while I'm on the train going to and from work so I don't get killed because I have to make a living. My landlord won't accept that I can't pay my rent just because I had to make sure that my Private did not turn undead while sleeping in the resource building in North Blytheville or whatever. --AshLaw 22:04, 15 May 2008 (BST)
22. Keep - If you don't understand what is being voted on, don't vote. --UCFSD 14:17, 16 May 2008 (BST)
23. Keep---Or, like me, if you don't know what is being voted on, but it doesn't seem to hurt, vote keep --Looking For Group 23:03, 16 May 2008 (BST)
24. Keep - I agree with UCFSD. --Leon Vulcan 16:11, 17 May 2008 (BST)
25. Keep-I agree with everyone above.--Rofl. 22:56, 17 May 2008 (BST)
26. Strong Keep - Embrace the future, we are not cavemen. --I am Iron Man 06:41, 18 May 2008 (BST)
27. Keep - I like it, and don't see any reason to vote against it. However, I think that to prevent zergers, users who use their phone must have their phone number registered and validated to prevent zerging. When one logs in from a phone, they must put in their phone # for that account. This would make it far easier to ban the zergers. Ioncannon11 23:26, 19 May 2008 (BST)
28. Keep - UD is one of the few games that can sensibly be played through WAP. Let's take advantage of that. And though it would be possible for zergers to abuse this I don't think they're very likely to make the effort. --Explodey 18:01, 20 May 2008 (BST)
29. Keep Could be fun... Bastetmeow 05:07, 21 May 2008 (BST)

    Keep - Wap play sounds like one of those sick fetishes. --Anotherpongo 20:35, 22 May 2008 (BST) Past deadline. --ZsL 00:55, 25 May 2008 (BST)

Kill Votes

1. WAP is what?--Pesatyel 03:56, 9 May 2008 (BST)
2. Who actually uses WAP? I mean it would be nice to be able to play without a computer but WAP is soooo slow (unless you've got some fancy phone) and costs a fortune as well. It's just not worth it. 'Optimising' the game for WAP will make little difference as WAP is just to slow Zig13 - 9/05/2008 at 13:45(BST)
3. Kill if you are so addicted that you have to check on your characters from your cell phone maybe you should go outside. If you are using it to get around proxies you are cheating. If your phone can't access the game how it is you are poor. Get a better phone. -- #99 ^{DCC SNACK STRONG} 00:50, 10 May 2008 (BST)

6. Kill - As above. --Cryptosporidium 00:43, 14 May 2008 (BST)
7. Weak Kill - As above, but weakly because anyone who has an iphone, internet tablet, or access to proxies for work or school can already do that Canarsie Jones 17:33, 15 May 2008 (BST)
8. Kill Yes... and make UD be able to be played through UD's cell phones... Not worth Kevan's time. --Telenti 13:28, 17 May 2008 (BST)
