Obtaining Historical Status

A policy is in place which outlines the method to attain historical status.

  1. Events must have been declared over.
  2. The event must have affected either multiple suburbs or how the game was played for a group, such as triggering a change.
  3. A nomination should be made on Category_talk:Historical Events.
  4. An announcement should be made on Wiki News, and {{HistoricalEventVoting}} should be put on the event's wiki page.
  5. Voting will last for exactly two weeks following nomination. To be successful, an event must be approved by 2/3 of eligible voters to pass. A minimum of 15 votes must be cast for the vote to be valid. The only allowable votes are Yes and No.
  6. Events that pass will be added to the category as described below.
  7. Events must allow a week to pass between nominations.


Nominations for Historical Status

ATTENTION! No new nominations are allowed.
The sysop team will start processing the current nominations through the rest of the day.
If a group or event is not promoted to historical status by the time the wiki becomes read-only on the 14th, its bid has failed.

Urban Dead Reunion

While not an in-game event as such, the Urban Dead Reunion was incredibly timely in its coincidence and, through the efforts spearheaded by SweetIrony, brought back many players who otherwise might not have been here for what has turned out to be the final phase of this game. -- Cheese 18:39, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

For (Urban Dead Reunion)

  1. Yes - Nominator vote. -- Cheese 18:39, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
  2. YES! And a special thank you to SweetIrony for bringing us all together. JaneZoe (talk) 18:40, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
  3. Absolutely. ~ AphelionT 18:44, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
  4. Yes  Rohndogg1  Talk | TA  18:56, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
  5. Yes - the Reunion gave us back the best of Urban Dead when it felt lost; and when it was most needed, gave us a common ground to say goodbye. Visible One (talk)
  6. Yes YES SweetIrony gets top kudos SIllylIlypIly (talk) 19:30, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
  7. Yes and yes and yes. ABSF (talk) 19:46, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

  9. Yes --Murray Jay Suskind (talk) 21:08, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
  10. SweetIrony is a Fed. Pass it on. --LordMoloch (talk) 21:22, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
  11. Yes. SweetIrony would've deserved the praise for bringing everyone back together even if the end wasn't nigh. One of the genuinely nicest people in the game and a huge effort on her part that has paid off in unexpected and tremendous ways. Well done! —Aichon— 21:43, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
  12. Yes, by far the most worthy thing for historical status recently. Kylestyle4 (talk) 00:05, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
  13. The most perfect timing. Thank you for helping bring all my favourite people back! --BOSCH (talk) 00:09, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
  14. Why, of course! RogueRisker (talk) 00:17, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
  15. Yes! We're so lucky to have a place to say our final goodbyes together, major thanks to sweetirony. Lilittlebug (talk) 00:21, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
  16. Yes, absolutely. UD Reunion really pulled a lot of old players out of retirement and it was serendipitous that it came about far enough before the end of the game that the returning heros could actually get some fun in. And megadittos on thanking SweetIrony for getting it done. -- TommyVee (talk) 00:36, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
  17. Yes. It was a good idea before the end and I believe incredibly valuable to already have the place existing for when the end did come. Not all the news was happy but it was good to have it and a delight to see some of the legends of yore return to chew the fat. Many thanks to SweetIrony and the team. But I did hear a rumor that SweetIrony is a Fed so perhaps be cautious. - Lostfire (talk) 00:43, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
  18. As the primary maintainer of the Reunion page, SweetIrony has done something unknowingly fantastic and absolutely nostalgic. But...Can we find some more competent coders to clean the page up? I ChatGPT-ed the whole thing together. The coding is an absolute nightmare! So much so that Hagnat went ahead and stole my clipped corners and cleaned up the coding for it with a snazzy template! I'm kinda regretting I didn't pursue coding 10 years back. --Axe Hack Talk 00:56, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

  25. Yes! Look at this beautiful mess of people that have been brought together (again) because of it. Absolutely. Deathy McD (talk) 03:15, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
  26. Yes. Thanks for dragging me back for the end ~ Red Hawk One Talk | Thanks for the memories 05:46, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
  27. Yes. Great playing with you all. MikhailA MikhailAlexseev (talk) 14:35, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

Against (Urban Dead Reunion)

Battle of Barhapolis

Should have been successfully nominated many years ago. An all-out barnstorming war for domination of Stanbury Village and southern Ridleybank, between the Ridleybank Resistance Front (plus allies) and the Kilt Store (also plus many, many allies), encompassing Nichols Mall, the Went Building and the Blackmore Building. Over 1000 active participants and it lasted for weeks before it was finally settled by LUE arriving and tipping the balance in favour of the zombies. Featuring major groups like Minions of the Apocalypse, Eastonwood Ferals, Undeadites, Feral Undead, the Fortress, and even a brief cameo from the Militant Order of Barhah. It was epic. Death feasted at the end. --LordMoloch (talk) 17:41, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

2021 New Years Naked Run

Hosted by The Malton Zookeepers, since 2021 the Zookeepers have hosted a series of annual races across Malton, all taking place right after the New Year. Contestants have to be absolutely buck naked during the race. Despite Urban Dead being quite dead during the past few years, you have to admire the Zookeepers' tenacity in trying to bring a fun community event to the community (or whatever was left of it). --Axe Hack Talk 04:06, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

Malton Manhunt

Community run events are few. Sanctioned tournaments are even fewer. And for that, I'd like to nominate the following events that bought together the community for times of fun and bloody mayhem. --Axe Hack Talk 01:12, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

Malton Manhunt/Manhunt 2007

The Beatbox Kids's Manhunt 2007 is the first Manhunt that led to the creation of the Malton Manhunt.

  2. Was a great event. Feel good it got nominated DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION 01:06, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

Malton Manhunt/Axe Hack's Manhunt

Axe Hack's Manhunt 1 reinvented the Malton Manhunt, leading to the creation of the manhunt rules that we know today.

Discosaurs/Rage in the Age

While technically not the first team based manhunt, it was the first team based manhunt to utilize the rules that we knew today.

  1. Author vote. --Axe Hack Talk 01:12, 8 March 2025 (UTC)
  2. NGL I'd forgotten what this one was from the name, but yeah this was, for me, the pinnacle of manhunt games. It was a big player base, huge results, and a lot of crazy good moments. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION 01:24, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
Against (Rage in the Age)

Malton Manhunt/Axe Hack's Manhunt 4

The final major Malton Manhunt event before the novelty of the Malton Manhunt started to wear off - probably due to there suddenly being a new Manhunt event every other month or so. We ruined the Malton Manhunt just like Ubisoft releasing a new Assassin's Creed game every year.

  2. Might just lump all the manhunts collectively as historical under "Malton Manhunt". --  AHLGTG THE END IS ACTUALLY NIGH! 03:16, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

Recent nominations

The Fall of Meatshield

One of the last big things to happen in late 2024, and therefore, as we now know, in the entire game history. Everyone should be able to enjoy the fall of a huge zerger, and point and laugh. -- Spiderzed▋ 22:35, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Historical Events Discussion

Battle of Pitneybank

Before I try again, is there any major objections to the state of the article as it is? I think some others were writing a different accounting of it butnits been months now. Just trying to avoid what happened the last time this went to vote. ~Vsig.png 20:03, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

I'd be in favor of this version. Bob Moncrief EBD•W! 20:15, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Secondary list of chronological order?

Any votes against the creation of a timeline below the alphabetically ordered list of historical events? I'd list the events along with the dates they ran. I just think it'd provide for a more reasonable reading of this page, and world lore. Jeffool 10:55, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

On a Category page nothing can go below the alphabetical list, however, if anyone is interested in making something like this it could be useful, although I think one might already exist somewhere. And I found it Timeline--Karekmaps?! 13:03, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
