The Dark Order of Armageddon Historical Group Voting

Quit possibly the first true Death Cultist group[1], the DOA once boasted 46 members at its peak[2] who would wander from suburb to suburb to baptize and purify those they found, all in the name of their dark pope "Sinners, rejoice! For the Dark Order of Armageddon has come to bring our blessings upon you. Embrace the joys of death and turn away from life's sins". The beginning of the end of the order was a combination of the leadership all collectively becoming unable to access the internet (thus preventing new members from being recruited and given forum access), as well as the Revive Syringe change from 1 AP to revive, to 10 AP to revive. This made the combat revives we depended on far less frequent, and it was becoming difficult to have at least 1 living member to preach every night as the zombified cultists retrieved the blood requited for the baptizum. The official date of disbanding was 6/6/06, and the last act of the DOA can be found recorded here for memories sake. I have been meaning to nominate the DOA for historical status for probably a year and a half now. I suppose this level of apathy doesn't speak too highly for me, but, luckily, I'm not the one being voted on. --TeksuraTalk 06:07, 26 October 2007 (BST)



Found the old desensitised Recruitment thread. [3] --TeksuraTalk 00:21, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

And a simple search gave me this, about 3 pages worth of posts where people are talking about the DOA --TeksuraTalk 00:31, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

And another page, this one belonging to the Department of Emergency Management on their No Random Revive Policy, a policy created to make things harder or groups like the DOA --TeksuraTalk 00:41, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Also, see Battle of the Bear Pit for the DOA's involvement in an attack on Ackland Mall --TeksuraTalk 01:04, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Hell, just take a look at the pages you find here: Special:Whatlinkshere/The_Dark_Order_of_Armageddon --TeksuraTalk 01:08, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

For

  1. --TeksuraTalk 08:38, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
  2. Very old, very historical. Wasnt a fan, but they had great RP, and they practically invented death cultism. --The Grimch U! E! WAT! 09:19, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
  3. I never meat them, but did heard about them. --~~~~ [talk] 11:00, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
  4. I just barely remember them - Vantar 14:06, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
  5. I have heard of them for a long time,but I didn't know that they practically invented death cultism.I vote yes.Chill 21:24, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
  6. Meh...They were pretty cool RPers. --User:Axe27/Sig 04:14, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
  7. I vote in favour because, even as as a newbish one, I have heard of them. And as far as I am aware they did invent death cultism -- which had a huge impact on the game. Sure, someone would have come along and invented it anyway, it was there waiting to be practiced... but the point is they did it first. WanYao 06:11, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
  8. Eh, why not, i've heard of them so sure... ------------------> WOOT 00:25, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
  9. Just like The Grimch. --DarkStar2374383 00:32, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
  10. Invented death cultism. --SeventythreeTalk 00:33, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
  11. The fact that I actually remember them when I haven't played for so long leads me to think they're historical Tyler Rilm 17:45, 31 October 2007
  12. Definitely. They pretty much disbanded around the middle of last year, which is probably why anyone who started playing after mid-2006 hasn't heard of them. They were quite widely known in their day. --Vanankyte 00:56, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
  13. I remember hearing about them and what they did. Seems they made an impression, i think they deserve it. -- Vulnavia-Dahlia 01:03, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
  14. I'll chip in my vote. I've been slaughtered by them a few times. --Absolution 01:26, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
  15. Wiki page is good. Vote given.--ShadowScope 02:54, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
  16. Read about some of their exploits. Known about them for awhile. I say yes. :) - BlackReaper 15:11, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
  17. Definitely - Antipathy 12:54, 01 November 2007 (UTC)
  18. Ahhh, I remember the old, heady days of barhaptizing the poor, wretched living into blissful undeath. Glad to see that the group is getting some recognition and being shown to the newer crowd of UD. Perhaps something similar might start up again someday...? - Whipstitch 01:56, 01 November 2007 (UTC)
  19. I have a vague memory of them. - Whitehouse 14:56, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
    lol The man 11:52, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
  20. They had excellent style, in the time I was playing they were quite renown. Also had an impressive rep. - hungerer 21:14, 2 November 2007 (AEDST)
  21. A little bit before my time. But the fact that they invented death cultism in UD (uncontested from all appearances) is a solid factor in my vote.--Actingupagain 23:19, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
  22. i liked em, they killed shit good. --Bullgod 06:01, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
  23. Definitely an historic group. --Clay5x 12:21, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
  24. I had great times rolling around Malton as allies to this Horde and wreaking havoc. Just search the wiki for their accomplishments! (Zilly Bavos aka) --Greymattergourmet 21:33, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Against

  1. I don't mean to offend anyone, but I have never, ever, heard of this group before until today when it said that its been nominated for historical status. The man 13:18, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
    according to your wiki userpage history, you created that page 8 April 2007. this doesn't speak for how long you have been playing, but, if you created that page when you started, you missed the DOA by about a year. This is why you didn't hear about it. --TeksuraTalk 00:25, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
    I began playing on october 2006. I joined the wiki in april. I actually began doing stuff on the wiki around june july. The man 14:48, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
    The group disbandd in June of 2006. --TeksuraTalk 21:25, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
    It took this long for it to be nominated to historical status!? o.O The man 11:53, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
  2. I don't ever remember them doing anything special besides once having a wiki page. --Sonny Corleone RRF DORIS CRF pr0n 21:31, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
  3. As Sonny, just because it existed doesn't mean it should be historical. --Karekmaps?! 02:48, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
  4. I really don't see the point giving historical status to a minor group just because they've been around for awhile. --Mr. Orange 12:42, 30 October 2007 (EST)
    They werent a minor group. --The Grimch U! E! WAT! 07:46, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
    I don't exactly know what you mean by a "minor group", but I must say that this is not a group that deserves historical status. --Dr. Oxford PhD 18:57, 30 October 2007 (EST)
    Howso? Do you find inventing a new way to play to be insignificant? --TeksuraTalk 00:25, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
    Have to strongly agree with teksura on this one The man 11:54, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
  5. who?--THE Godfather of Яesensitized, Anime Sucks Yalk | W! U! WMM| CC CPFOAS DORISFlag.jpg LOE ZHU | Яezzens 05:34, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
    Why am i not surprised that you would oppose anything I support... --TeksuraTalk 00:25, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
  6. I've been playing for a rather long time, and I've never heard of them before. Part of being "historic" is that people actually are aware of them; either in-game or out of game for specific contributions. Whether or not these guys invented some new form of gameplay, I think it's clear from the "no" votes that they're certainly not remembered for it. --Psiborg 01:17, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
  7. Griefing shouldn't be rewarded in any way. Theres a line between PK and grief. Sockem 01:42, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
    I'm sorry, but that is the shittiest kill vote I have ever seen. No...wait...I'm not sorry.-- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 01:50, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
  8. As above, I have never heard of this group, which certainly does not make them historical. Actually, I've never even seen them on the statistics page. --Pyrranha 20:48, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
    i do believe you have been caught not reading. Its only natural you wouldn't have seen them on the statistics page, seeing as they disbanded in June of 2006. When did you start playing again? --TeksuraTalk 21:17, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
  9. I don't know who they are. Supergodzilla2090 09:23, 2 November 2007 (CST)
  10. NO this is the shittiest kill vote I have ever seen.----Sexualharrison ה •QSG•TStarofdavid2.png Boobs.gif 00:59, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
    Coming from you? No, not really. :P -- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 01:09, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
