Another long-lasting and impactful zombie group.

As we are loosening the standards to also allow active groups, and since [[:Category_talk:Historical_Groups#Militant_Order_of_Barhah|last time]] MOB very heavily favoured and only failed on a technicality, I am resubmitting them. --'''<span style="font-family:monospace; background-color:#222222">[[User:Spiderzed|<span style="color:Lime"> Spiderzed</span>]][[User talk:Spiderzed|<span style="color:Lime">▋</span>]]</span>''' 19:34, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

== [[The Ridleybank Resistance Front]] ==
'''Successful Nominations'''
There can be no question that the RRF has been a historical group. I would suggest that it has been the ''most'' historical group in the game. No suburb is synonymous with threat to human life in the way that Ridleybank is. The Blackmore Building has been the center of countless large sieges between the RRF and humans fascinated by the danger they cause. The RRF has, simultaneously, menaced whatever area of Malton drew their attention at any particular time. From their founding in 2005 by the mythical Petrosjko to this very day, they have been one of the largest, most powerful, most respected groups in the city. Really, this vote is not over whether the RRF is historical, but rather it is over whether it is appropriate, in this final week, to override the rule against making a group which is still very much active into a historical group. I believe that it is appropriate. --{{User:TripleU/Sig}} 02:19, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

== [[Quartly Study Group]] ==
Helping a friend with this nomination, but there's no doubt in my head that QSG is worthy of Historical Group. With their [[Quartly_Study_Group/Quartly_Lecture_Group|famous lecture series]] that invited guests from all walks, their impact was felt in the meta community for decades after. Friends to survivors, PKers, death cultists, and zombies alike, they brought people together in a way that few other groups could accomplish and succeeded in carving out a sacred ground that was respected by nearly all groups, even years later. Though, to be fair to the zombies who ate them, QSG ''was'' known for having some of the juiciest brains around. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 22:36, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

== [[Escape]] ==
They were robbed [[:Category_talk:Historical_Groups/FailedArchive#Escape|last time in 2010]] over still heated feelings about the event. In hindsight, Escape wasn't just the most significant thing to happen in 2010 - it was the most significant thing for many years to come that wasn't just a reheated version of things that have already been done before. --'''<span style="font-family:monospace; background-color:#222222">[[User:Spiderzed|<span style="color:Lime"> Spiderzed</span>]][[User talk:Spiderzed|<span style="color:Lime">▋</span>]]</span>''' 22:48, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

# Escape was one of the first "historic" groups/events I learned about when I started observing UD's oral culture. The original event has been on the [[Template:UDThisMonth|This Month template]] every June since 2013. {{User:Bob Moncrief/Sig}} 23:36, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
# I strongly feel this deserves historical status, either as a group or an event. A fascinating and unique bit of UD history. Being in that group, the largest of its size for a couple years at that point, I really thought Kevan might have responded to it if the survivors made it to the leave date. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig5}} 23:48, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
# Yes, but I think this should be filed under historical events. Also, regrettable that I somehow completely missed this thing. --{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 03:16, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
# '''Yes''' - I disagree that Escape (the group) was robbed before. It was the ''event'' of the same name that was robbed of historical status before, with the group not being in the least bit noteworthy, but no one ever made a page for the event (so far as I know) and we aren't going to at this point, so it's better to have a little confusion for future UD historians than nothing at all. Especially so since the event itself was not only historical, it was the catalyst for all sorts of other historical groups/events. I stand by my previous No vote and its reasoning, but we're out of time to do it right, so it isn't a hill worth dying on. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 20:29, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
# '''Event''' - I voted No last time, in favor of the event. But I think Aichon is correct that calling the group historical is close enough given the circumstances. I will point out, though, that we ''do'' have a page about the event: '''[[Escape (event)]]'''. --{{User:TripleU/Sig}} 02:06, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

Team Xtreme deserves more credit [[:Category_talk:Historical_Groups/FailedArchive#Team_Xtreme|than they got back in 2012]]. They have been the most signicant group within the tiny niche of bounty-hunting, and since the breakdown of the [[Rogues Gallery]] and its sanctioned bounty-hunting they weren't going to be surpassed within this niche either.

==[[Militant Order of Barhah]]==
The MOB defined [[Barhah#Controversy and Fundamentalis|Barhah Fundamentalism]] for Malton, putting into sharp focus the philosophy of always-dead, migratory, horde-focused zombies. While the MOB reigned, zombies and death cultists everywhere had to reconsider or sheepishly justify their necro-religious beliefs. The MOB maintained multiple effective strike teams for years. For years, zombie activity in Malton consisted primarily of a deep red Ridleybank and an uncontrollable wrecking ball in the form of the MOB. It was like a nonstop, all-seasons Mall Tour or Big Bash. Survivors could not stop it, so they resorted to [[River Tactics|fleeing in terror and picking up the mess left behind]]. Jorm, The Prophet of Barhah, is personally notable for:
*Being [[Mayor]] of Malton from 2010 to today, following the Misanthropy/Revenant administration fulfilling their campaign promise to betray the electorate by handing the keys to the city to Jorm.
*Hosting the IRC server that was a longtime favorite for UD live chat.
*Hosting [[Unofficial UD Forums#Barhah.com|barhah.com]], the forum that was a longtime favorite for zombie groups.
*Making [[:Category:Related Games#Inspired by Urban Dead|Nexus War]], which was more than a little popular. The spiritual successor, [https://www.nexusclash.com/ Nexus Clash], is still entirely alive.
*[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jorm Working for WikiMedia], where you may have seen him asking for donations.
The Prophet of Barhah himself once made the case for his horde in [[UDWiki:Administration/Arbitration/Militant Order of Barhah vs Malton Mob|an arbitration case over the MOB redirect]]. In his trademarked steel wool and whiskey style, he addressed another group that hoped to be known as "the mob":
Your group consists of less than 20 and has done *nothing*; my group is over 70 and has *smashed suburbs*. We are the MOB; you are the "Malton Mob."
Hagnat further noted:
They are larger. They are famous. They have Zombies. They have Jorm.

==[[East Becktown Defenders]]==
{{HistoricalVotingRules}}
The East Becktown Defenders officially disbanded on [[EBD/Epitaph|May 1st, 2020]], which makes them eligible for Historical Group status.
The EBD had been active since 2016, and included dozens of members, including both veterans and entire newbies. They maintained good relationships with survivor groups (including, but not limited to the DHPD, SoC, Knights Templar and the DEM) and zombie groups (specifically the Daubeney Resident Zombies next door, and of course our favourite frenemies in the RRF).
Aside from regular survivor-style operations, they also brought a fun, no-pressure approach to the game, along with [[East_Becktown_Defenders/Tools|wiki-tools]] (like the automatic SitRep on their group page) and weird events (like the [[EBD_Stat_Party_2016|EBD StatParty]]).
The group decided not to fade away like many others, but officially disbanded after exactly 4 years of activity.

Obtaining Historical Status

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

  1. Groups must no longer actively contribute to the game.
  2. A nomination should be made on Category talk:Historical Groups.
  3. Voting will last for exactly two weeks following nomination. To be successful, a group 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.
  4. Groups that pass will be added to the category as described below.
  5. Groups must allow a week to pass between nominations.
  6. Groups must allow 4 months in between when the group disbands and when they can be nominated for Historical Status. (Note: Only for Malton-based groups)

Nominations for Historical Status

When nominating a group, please add a note to Template:Wiki News and add {{HistoricalGroupVoting}} to the top of the group's page. Also, please add {{HistoricalVotingRules}} under the group's application 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.
-- The Sysop Team
