Everybody ''hated'' them. But everybody ''knew'' them. Let's not forget they once created a tool that allowed the scouting of pretty much all of Malton - one of the causes of the anti-DEM sentiment back in the days. But negativity aside, they were big enough to make an impact. -[[User:Axe Hack|<span style="border: 1px solid #556b2f; background: linear-gradient(135deg, #2f4f4f, #1c2926); text-align: justify; box-shadow: 2px 2px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7); padding: 2px 5px; color: #98FB98; font-size: smaller; border-radius: 10px;">Axe Hack</span>]] [[User talk:Axe Hack|<span style="border: 1px solid #556b2f; background: linear-gradient(135deg, #2f4f4f, #1c2926); text-align: justify; box-shadow: 2px 2px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7); padding: 2px 5px; color: #98FB98; font-size: smaller; border-radius: 10px;">Talk</span>]] 18:59, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

#They introduced bureaucracy, sucked the fun out of a ''game'', introduced tools that effectively provided a massive (and abusive) meta-advantage, had more layers than a Shrek-sized onion, were delusional enough to think they could assign an [[MPD]] member to every police department and an [[MFD]] member to every Fire Station and organized the single most insane and ill fated attack on Blackmore which ended in predictable disaster....

==[[404: Barhah not found]]==
Long-time specialists in taking on challenges that most of the survivor side would be too scared to consider, 404 had a special love of going into deeply zombie-held territory and repairing ruined buildings with extremely high repair costs. They also twice captured [[The Blackmore Building]] capably enough that special measures were required to purge them as recently as January of this year. They are filthy combat revivers, F5ing spamming psychiatric patients, a total pain in my arse and they corrupted [[User:Fifth_Element|my daughter]]. Still, they deserve their place in the annals of Urban Dead. --[[User:LordMoloch|LordMoloch]] ([[User talk:LordMoloch|talk]]) 17:31, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

==[[The Scourge]]==
=Previous Discussions=
A horde that started in 2016 as a "wouldn't it be interesting"-experiment of 2 former [[EBD]]-members and quickly grew to become the home of players who were new to the undead experience, as well as of those who returned to it after long breaks.
'''General Discussion'''
Aside from being consistently active over the past almost-9 years, achievements include thousands of ruins every single year (most of which were meticulously tracked [[The Scourge/City Index | here]]), a plethora of succesful attacks on trophy buildings (ranging from Malls and Forts to the Burch and Quartly, tracked [[Template:The Scourge/Trophies | here]]), participating in the reverse siege in [[5th of November/2016]] and in the final big siège of Blackmore in early 2025 and (most importantly) licking a pumpkin that was protected by [[The Randoms]] in 2017.
* '''[[:Category talk:Historical Groups/Archive|General Discussion (2006–2025)]]'''
 
Their history is one of the better documented ones on this wiki, thanks to people like [[User:Bob Moncrief|Bob Moncrief]] and the consistent activity and guidance of the group has been almost entirely thanks to the leadership of Mamah [[User:Stelar|Rotting Rita]]. If the game wouldn't end soon, I'm confident they would have succeeded in being the first group to have documented ruins of 100% of Malton, as has been our half-joking goal for the past almost-decade.

==[[The Randoms]]==
A Buttonville Group that has been around since April of 2006. They have worked to defend and protect Buttonville (the Butt, as they like to call it) ever since, despite group divisions at times. The group is active to this day, and has been dedicated to keeping the Butt Random, and dressing stylishly in the process. They also have worked to keep Buckley Mall decorated in lights, trees and tinsel throughout the years.

==[[Yagoton Revivification Clinic]]==
One of the oldest groups in Malton centered in Yagoton. No clear leadership or even their own forum, you just had to show up and put in your action points and you were part of the group. No policies other than administering revives to the masses of Malton. With either a smile when you're in Style, wondering around Whatmore or rot revives at Serrell's open door clinic, the YRC has always served fresh needles to everyone. Just show up and await that Mrh? jab.

==[[CCPD Family]]==
Perhaps not widely known but infuential in our suburb, I played with this group since 2005, activity has dropped of course but there has always been one or two about whenever I've checked in and poked around East Boundwood. From back when we tangled with the Yellow Dart and ALF until now we've been taking care of St. Judes, the Shepard building and of course our police dept HQ (also getting involved in any sieges at Bale Mall in the past along with various historical sieges around Malton). We're unusual in that we have never had a leader and the only person to try to take that position sadly met a grisly end.

==[[The Penguin Mafia]]==
These guys were always a lot of fun and a notable group of the East Boundwood area, they had 40 members at their peak and were a really fun bunch of characters to have around. At least one member is still active and their old HQ the Stapleton arms and fuel depot Vimpany Auto repair are still maintained. They're the first group other than my own that I think of when I think of East Boundwood and one of the reasons I've spent a definite majority of my time in the game in that area.

== [[Creedy Guerilla Raiders]] ==
CGR was founded in 2006 and has maintained its presence in the Pitneybank area ever since. A fixture in the Pitneybank area since then, CGR was an active PK group often finding its victims in the Giddings Mall and Fort Creedy areas. At one time CGR was one of the largest PKer groups active on the groups page. CGR, throughout its tenure, maintained close ties with the PKA and several other notable PKer groups including the Philosophe Knights and Flowers of Decay. Though in its twilight, the last of us Raiders humbly request a spot among the historical groups of Malton.

== [[Knights Templar]] ==
Founded in July 2006 and a constant presence in Urban Dead ever since. The largest active survivor group in Malton as of March 2025 with a thriving Discord community and new members regularly joining the fold. The KT battled with every major zombie and PKer group in the history of the game and worked with every major pro-survivor group at one stage or another. I don't think that anyone could dispute that the Knights Templar are worthy of Historical Group status.

== [[Philosophe Knights]] ==
Recognizing that the morality of killing is vastly different in a world where death is nothing more than an inconvenience, the Knights set about “enlightening” the population of Malton on the importance of education. Though they have thousands of kills to their secretive initialisms, the Knights were famous for deploying other tactics to educate the population, such as theater, art,
lectures, and training on leading tactics. One thing was always sure: when the Philosophe Knights appeared, people would listen, whether they wanted to or not.
 
More plainly, the Philosophe Knights were a leading PKer group for years, with an influence that spread far wider and made a much larger impact than their apparent membership might suggest (in part because they frequently eschewed the use of group tags). They were never completely inactive, but they’ve recently shown back up on the stats page in large part thanks to the Reunion. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 22:07, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

== [[The Ridleybank Resistance Front]] ==
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)

# '''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]] ==
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. Let's give them their trophy as the game is on the way out. --'''<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)

==[[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.
I submit the MOB for your consideration. --{{User:TripleU/Sig}} 07:29, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

==[[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.

#As Spiderzed. Groups that had some members, did some things, and had a central pitch of being "well liked" didn't classify as historical when Urban Dead was bigger.

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
