Updating note

if you feel sufficiently bored enough, feel free to update the zombie count and whatnot, Try not to be dickbags about it though, thanks.

Interesting....

I saw them at the bottom of the group ranking while checking out the survivor/zed percentages... but the stats only register 40 members.... Arthur Dent BIN LADEN IS DEAD!!!!! 01:41, 20 May 2011 (BST)

Reporting

Please feel free to report any and all of the zergers that you discover at the Zerg Liste here. --Akule ^{Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™} 01:46, 20 May 2011 (BST)

I would love to, however the prospect of getting 500+ screenshots is a bit daunting Serious Post. Please do not silly. |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 01:54, 20 May 2011 (BST)

Well, if you post a few screenshots of them, we could get a complete list from the UD Profile Database and poke Kevan in an email. We've done it before, on previous zerg hordes. --Akule ^{Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™} 02:08, 20 May 2011 (BST)

ok thanks, i did just that. Hope it helps - Serious Post. Please do not silly. |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 02:40, 20 May 2011 (BST)

Has Kevan been poked about these bitches yet? And where are they? --Paddy Dignam^{IS DEAD} 17:30, 21 May 2011 (BST)

I still liked all the Wutz zergs..       03:53, 22 May 2011 (BST)

I believe so. I will verify tonight. --Akule ^{Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™} 21:36, 23 May 2011 (BST)

Dunno. I left it up to the folks on the zerg list to deal with it. As it was said above they've dealt with this kind of thing before, and so would probably have more credibility than some random "the dead" member. Because we all know how much everyone loves the dead. - Serious Post. Please do not silly. |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 12:39, 22 May 2011 (BST)

There is a lot of them in Penny Heights. I saw some on Coome Lane, Digby Walk, Tuxill Alley Fire Station, and Rossiter Crescent. It's pretty annoying because other Ferals keep groaning at them, so I can't even trust feeding groans right now. Jamis 17:26, 23 May 2011 (BST)

Add Foulkes Village, I got 9 on one screen.--TheFlys 18:16, 23 May 2011 (BST)

A few in pashenton (can provide screen shots if needed)--Arthur Dent BIN LADEN IS DEAD!!!!! 20:44, 23 May 2011 (BST)

We'll take screenshots at the ZL if you are willing. :D --Akule ^{Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™} 21:41, 23 May 2011 (BST)

I don't think it has to do with anything for "the dead" as it is more an individual user messaging Kevan about zergs. He tends to ignore individual user report emails on zergers, but since the ZL has worked with Kevan before, he tends to respond when it concerns large-scale zergers. --Akule ^{Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™} 21:41, 23 May 2011 (BST)

There's a clipped screenshot of one of them shooting someone. Do we have evidence of whether they are attacking zeds or survivors or both?Doctor Golf 22:29, 23 May 2011 (BST)

Mainly we look for screenshots of them together (or within 9 squares of one another), working in tandem, etc. The idea is to get multiple of them in a screenshot or screenshots of their similar proximity, so we can provide evidence of zerging. If Kevan doesn't do anything, then at the very least we have documentation of them in the Zerg Liste, so people can identify them in-game and "encourage" them to stop. --Akule ^{Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™} 22:55, 23 May 2011 (BST)

As of this morning (5-24-2011) it appears as though UZW is no more. I don't see them on the streets, and they're no longer listed on the stats page. Kent Camp 13:57, 24 May 2011 (BST)

Excellent. Glad to see it got taken care of. --Akule ^{Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™} 20:27, 24 May 2011 (BST)

THE GAME IS AFOOT

So is it basically a race at this point to see if UZW or The Dead will ruin Urban Dead first? Because I got a ten-spot on my boys if that's the case. --カシュー, ザ ゾンビ クィーン (ビープ ビープ) @ 01:08, 24 May 2011 (BST)

You know, it could be...

It could be that this isn't a protest against The Dead, but against the search rate changes at low survivor population levels. Might be an attempt to unboost search rates by spamming in a bunch of throwaway street treats and tilting the stats.

It's much better for actual human players to have high search odds, than a bunch of freshly spawned zergs standing around in the street doing nothing.--FT 03:06, 24 May 2011 (BST)

You'd have to define "better", because my idea of things getting better for the survivors is to combat The Dead without boosted search rates, rather than have shit handed to us on a platter when things go awry. It's an interesting idea though, but I'm betting that it's against the dead. -- ϑ^anceϑ^anceℜ^evolution 03:19, 24 May 2011 (BST)

If this was against The Dead then one would think it would have occurred when survivors dropped to around 10-15% rather than more than a week later when numbers started to rebound as groups began to coordinate on issuing revives in place of repairs. The Dead WISH this was against them because that would mean it was "pubbie tears", the timing of it is far more indicative of someone who like you is pissed at how the search rates rise when survivor numbers are low. --Lord K 03:27, 24 May 2011 (BST)

The Dead don't fucking care. --||||||||||||||||||||||||| 03:49, 24 May 2011 (BST)

This is the stone cold truth. Kevan could give you fuckers rocket launchers and jetpacks and you'd still be the stupid, disorganised bunch of idiots we've always had no trouble in murdering by the hundreds. --カシュー, ザ ゾンビ クィーン (ビープ ビープ) @ 04:40, 24 May 2011 (BST)

Agree. Also, You 4/5ths of fuck all about this, Lord K. Take your bullshit tinfoil hat conspiracy theories and inflammatory shit-stirring elsewhere. Thanks ever so much in advance. - Serious Post. Please do not silly. |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 04:53, 24 May 2011 (BST)

The irony is strong with this one. You may want to look to your own and either try to contribute something or scram. --Lord K 05:16, 24 May 2011 (BST)

I collected most of the data on and created this page. Hows about you? - Serious Post. Please do not silly. |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 05:47, 24 May 2011 (BST)

Too busy laughing at your epeen stroking to say.--Lord K 05:50, 24 May 2011 (BST)

Who the fuck has time to look at things like "evidence" when you can leap and take flight and jump to all the conclusions you need? Paranoia and self-importance are my co-pilots on this amazing trip to the land of assumptions, where everything fits to my scenic rose-tinted view on things because I'm Lord K and I'm a colossal fucking idiot who has the weakest grasp on wit this side of a literal infant. That's right. A baby. An actual baby has a better understanding of what constitutes a cutting retort than the whirlwind of corpulent semi-autistic flab that makes up the earthly form of Lord K, internet nobility, ruling his make-believe fiefdom with a cheeto-stained fist. God fucking save me from this miserable realisation where I am suddenly aware that the air I breathe is shared by Lord K, a human being who has never accomplished anything of worth, and will never accomplish anything of worth, trudging through each pathetic hour with the certainty that only through posting on the fucking internet about fucking imaginary zombies will he be assured any kind of lasting impression on reality. That's all he will ever amount to, a fleeting blip in the universe where he managed to make perhaps upwards of a dozen people regret that he was ever born. Kudos, congratulations, mazel tov, and glory be that your fetid existence has made its mark - even if that mark is just a smudge, a filthy smear of excrement on humanity's backside, because you have decided that somehow you have the moral fucking high ground in an argument you started about a fucking shitty zombie game on the internet, where you didn't even check the facts before posting your damp little fart of an opinion. --カシュー, ザ ゾンビ クィーン (ビープ ビープ) @ 06:06, 24 May 2011 (BST)

TL;DR - Serious Post. --Lord K 06:09, 24 May 2011 (BST)

I can actually physically feel how upset you are right now. It feels pretty good. --カシュー, ザ ゾンビ クィーン (ビープ ビープ) @ 06:25, 24 May 2011 (BST)

I'm pleasantly amused by a person who has spent tons of her time making and updating a page which basically amounts to, "Waaahhh, it's too haaaard" suggesting someone else is upset. Thanks for that though, it is highly amusing. Really though, as a bit of advice just from one person to another: stop making this so easy. Prior to this post I've had to spend all of about 1 minute formulating and typing two responses and the most amusing thing is that initially I wasn't even TRYING to start something like this. It's effortless. Really. --Lord K 06:45, 24 May 2011 (BST)

It's more what I imagine watching someone on fire would be like. They tend to flail regardless of your actions. In any case I'm quite enjoying my current smug satisfaction, thank you. :) --Lord K 06:56, 24 May 2011 (BST)

You... do realise that you don't come across as intelligent or witty in any way whatsoever, right? Like, either you're aware that you're utterly incapable of it, or it's some kind of weird performance art where you post the weakest retorts imaginable? Because if not, and this thing you just typed just now is actually your idea of a snappy comeback, then holy shit. --カシュー, ザ ゾンビ クィーン (ビープ ビープ) @ 07:02, 24 May 2011 (BST)

It's more that it's irrelevant to me how I come across, as you're utterly unimportant to me in almost every way possible. There are very few people whose opinions are important to me and you're certainly not one of them. --Lord K 07:13, 24 May 2011 (BST)

Well i suppose it's nice that now you know how everyone feels about you. Perspective, and all that. - Serious Post. Please do not silly. |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 07:16, 24 May 2011 (BST)

Speak for yourself, there are a number of people here enjoying a big chuckle right along with me. It is about time to end this though. --Lord K 07:17, 24 May 2011 (BST)

Ah, medication time already, is it? Well, seeya. Dont let the door hit your ass on the way out. - Serious Post. Please do not silly. |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 07:18, 24 May 2011 (BST)

No medication and haven't had or required any for several years. One other thing about it is that many symptoms can lessen or disappear in adulthood. --Lord K 07:38, 24 May 2011 (BST)

See, now I'm veering back to "weird performance art" because I don't think it's possible for anyone to naturally have delivery that stilted, or phrasing that clunky. So, uh... I guess I should be a good patron of the arts and give a little applause? I don't know how this goes. --カシュー, ザ ゾンビ クィーン (ビープ ビープ) @ 07:19, 24 May 2011 (BST)

I'm actually surprised he is admitting that he doesnt do anything other than blatant trolling and conspiracy theorising. It's mighty big of him to admit he's totally useless and doesnt contribute to anything, just deletes peoples sigs and try to pick fights with the dead specifically.

Correct and yet that is supposed to be your wonderful retort? Hell, I'm saving that ad for posterity. --Lord K 07:06, 24 May 2011 (BST)

So you're saying its factual? Well, admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery, apparently. - Serious Post. Please do not silly. |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 07:09, 24 May 2011 (BST)

Shit, if he is legitimately socially and mentally incompetent because of inherent brain problems, rather than just being a fat manchild, then I am going to feel kind of bad for a little while. --カシュー, ザ ゾンビ クィーン (ビープ ビープ) @ 07:23, 24 May 2011 (BST)

I won't. - Serious Post. Please do not silly. |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 07:28, 24 May 2011 (BST)

Shit, dude, if he has the spergin' then it's not really his fault he's a dull, humourless douche. Although I guess it is his fault that he actually goes around and forces himself to interact with normal people. OK, sure, yeah, fuck him and the autism he rode in on. --カシュー, ザ ゾンビ クィーン (ビープ ビープ) @ 07:32, 24 May 2011 (BST)

Mentally it isn't a handicap per say, it simply results in more specialized areas of knowledge. Someone with it can be well above average in one subject and well below average in another. What you're thinking of is probably Kanner syndrome (more often just called autism). When I said it was an advantage in my field I wasn't lying, Asperger's is relatively common amongst those who work in IT, nor is it something I even tend to think of day to day or week to week unless it's mentioned. --Lord K 07:35, 24 May 2011 (BST)

You can't interact properly with other human beings. That is an absence of one of the most defining traits of our species. Therefore, it counts as a mental handicap. Sorry, bucko, but that's a sad fact of life. Also I do kind of feel pity for you right now, but it might just be a fleeting stab of conscience. I'm sure it'll pass. --カシュー, ザ ゾンビ クィーン (ビープ ビープ) @ 07:41, 24 May 2011 (BST)

Your pity is unnecessary, I'm in a much better situation than most people my age and in parts it is due to that diagnosis, even though I otherwise rarely think about it at all. Call it what you like, as I said before your opinion of me doesn't particularly concern me. You're neither personally or professionally important and those who are tend to either like me, not care either way, and/or think I'm some kind of friggin' genius (although I disagree, it is nice). Given the time though I think I'll bid you a good night so that (maybe) this thread can get back on topic. --Lord K 07:54, 24 May 2011 (BST)

So, what's next? Are you going to suprise us all and come out and say you do IT in your fursuit or something?--ебут этом гомосексуальные земля́, ebut ėtom gomoseksual'nye zemlя́ ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||_{Retarded things go here -->} 2 3 4 User:MisterGame 07:49, 24 May 2011 (BST)

Old jeans and a cheap tshirt or polo most nights. You can choose to believe me or not, but either way I'm going to have to say goodnight and thanks for the laughs. --Lord K 07:54, 24 May 2011 (BST)

holy fuck you guys weren't kidding he actually does have the sperg I thought you were just talking shit--||||||||||||||||||||||||| 07:57, 27 May 2011 (BST)

I'm responding to DDR's first comment, and everything else is tl;dr. I was initially inclined to agree that it was against The Dead. But they didn't seem to be barricade bots, or anything like that- just flesh bags. Their main impact, as far as I could tell, was to affect the stats. And the theme of "UD is broken" and the profile description "fix your damn game" point to a motive rooted in an opinion that something about the game itself was broken. I think that if there's any evidence at all as to the motives of the creator of these zergs, it indicates that they're upset about game mechanics: not about SA goons. And maybe there is reason to be upset; I can see why some people argue it's a bad way to handle search rates. I personally don't feel that way, but there's an argument to be made. Anyhow, I think you'd agree that, whatever the motive, this sort of behavior is a little too... what's the word I'm looking for here? "Butt-hurt?"--FT 19:08, 24 May 2011 (BST)

Those are some good points, didn't think about it like that so much, I think you may be right. -- ϑ^anceϑ^anceℜ^evolution 05:13, 25 May 2011 (BST)

There may be more

It seems that there may be more names than the ones listed in the article. I'm finding nearly duplicate names registered very closely together, real names that match up, and other interesting tidbits having gone through things some. Kevan may have shut down the names listed on the article already, but I can't really say. Last udbebroken appears to have been registered as UDID 1919311 and we're into the upper 60s now. --Lord K 04:06, 24 May 2011 (BST)

I've seen duplicate names before when someone hit the account creation script a second time with the same name before it was done creating the first account. Since login is by account name, only 1 will spawn & be playable. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 04:47, 24 May 2011 (BST)

That can happen, but the names in question were only similar, not entirely duplicate. The more time goes on the more I wonder if they're unrelated, but if you're interested I can provide details. --Lord K 05:16, 24 May 2011 (BST)

We're always interested. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 05:22, 24 May 2011 (BST)

Does it hold any significance that I can still see all the zergs in the profile index even though they appear to have been deleted from the groups page?       14:13, 24 May 2011 (BST)

If you mean that thing on the .info/.net sites then no, not really. They work basically like a search engine in that they trawl profiles then save them to a DB there. At least that was my understanding of it when it was made, never actually looked at the code. --Karek^{maps 2.0?!} 03:55, 25 May 2011 (BST)

Stats page

All of a sudden, Unlimited Zerg Works has vanished from the stats page after having had over 2,000 members yesterday night. Massive tag change, or hand of Kevan? You decide. -- Spiderzed█ 17:07, 24 May 2011 (BST)

I didn't check all of the profiles (obviously) but nearly all of the ones I've checked still had the tag in their profile. ~ _{17:11, 24 May 2011 (UTC)}

It's been 5 days, they probably idled.--Yonnua Koponen ^{T G P} ^^^ 17:35, 24 May 2011 (BST)

A good chunk of them were created yesterday. I looked about midday (my time) and they were at ~1200 and then ~2700 yesterday evening. ~ _{17:42, 24 May 2011 (UTC)}

It looks like all the "udbebroken" accounts were created on the 23rd. ~ _{17:45, 24 May 2011 (UTC)}

It's also worth mentioning that when I logged in yesterday I saw that all of the udbebroken zergs had appeared overnight and were hanging out in my neighborhood all over the streets, and when the group disappeared from the stats page I logged in again and found the neighborhood empty of zergs. Seems like they got blocked from the game or something. Can anyone confirm this same phenomenon with the zergs in their neighborhood?--_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 18:12, 24 May 2011 (BST)

I saw the same thing. The streets were loaded with UDbebrokens yesterday, and today I didn't see any.--FT 18:31, 24 May 2011 (BST)

Hand of Kevan. --Akule ^{Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™} 20:27, 24 May 2011 (BST)

Then why do they still show up in the profile index?       03:39, 25 May 2011 (BST)

Because that's the hand of Slutthefeared. --Karek^{maps 2.0?!} 03:56, 25 May 2011 (BST)

The Wutz's still appear in the profile DB but we know they were removed. What Karek said above. Profile db trolls for new ids and simply adds them to the db. Also, it appears that the profile is not removed even though the character is removed from the map. ~ _{04:17, 25 May 2011 (UTC)}

I think what Mazu means is, when clicking on the link of one of the profiles in the DB, you're still directed to said profile. Shouldn't it take you to a 404, or something? ~ Kempy “YaketyYak” | ◆◆◆ | CAPD |

 

04:33, 25 May 2011 (BST)

I don't think so. The profiles must still exist in some form, if they were deleted a new account could take over the name? Dunno. -- ϑ^anceϑ^anceℜ^evolution 05:17, 25 May 2011 (BST)

That would be harder to code and particularly less stable. This way they don't have to risk accounts with the same name, or empty profile id fields, etc that can needlessly cause errors. --Karek^{maps 2.0?!} 21:33, 25 May 2011 (BST)

Frozen accounts are only revealed to be frozen to those who log into them, otherwise they still show up in the profile database cause they still have a profile. -- ϑ^anceϑ^anceℜ^evolution 05:17, 25 May 2011 (BST)

DDR is correct. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 07:48, 25 May 2011 (BST)
