Obtaining Historical Status

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

Events must have been declared over. The event must have affected either multiple suburbs or how the game was played for a group, such as triggering a change. A nomination should be made on Category_talk:Historical Events. An announcement should be made on Wiki News, and {{HistoricalEventVoting}} should be put on the event's wiki page. Within two weeks of a nomination, the Event must be approved by 2/3 of the voters, with a minimum of 15 voters (or 10 YES votes) for a nomination to pass. The only allowable votes are Yes and No Events that pass will be added to the category as described below. Events must allow a week to pass between nominations.

Nominations for Historical Status

Malton Block Party

The first annual Malton Block Party has officially ended. I believe it is historical in a few ways. A very small number of people managed to repair up enough buildings for survivor attendees in the very heart of the city, Stanbury Village. When it actually began many survivors, PKers, and zombies made the trek from across the city to attend. Tuesday saw a group of perhaps a dozen humans staying outside in Whetcombe Park until roughly Thursday, with a brief speech from myself on Wednesday. Aside from the barfight in The Corfield Arms on Thursday and the free-for-all deathmatch in the Kersley Mansion on Saturday, there were very few deaths over the course of the week, with most present observing the no-kill policy.--Labine50 ^{MEMS | MHG} 00:10, 28 September 2008 (BST)

1. Yes - See above.--Labine50 ^{MEMS | MHG} 00:10, 28 September 2008 (BST)
2. Yes - A righteous blast. -- Atticus Rex ^{mfu pif} Δ 00:36, 28 September 2008 (BST)
3. No - It just freaking happened. Hell, why didn't you put this up before you even did the event? --Sonny Corleone ^{DORIS MSD pr0n} 00:59, 28 September 2008 (BST)

   Because then it wouldn't have given you an ulcer and you would have felt like a pussy for not having one.--Labine50 ^{MEMS | MHG} 01:38, 28 September 2008 (BST)

   The Block Party failed at being notable and giving me an ulcer. The lack of the USC vs. UAB football game on tv is giving me one. --Sonny Corleone ^{DORIS MSD pr0n} 01:40, 28 September 2008 (BST)

4. No - What the hell was this, and how is it notable again?--Jorm 01:42, 28 September 2008 (BST)

   Hmm...we found out that one could pour beer and wine into generators, damaging them? I don't know if this wonderful bit of text flavor and game effect had ever been officially noted yet... --Jen 01:51, 28 September 2008 (BST)

   Is that true, Jen? If it is, I'm voting yes just on the basis of that discovery alone. What an awesome way of GKing... --Target Practice 02:02, 28 September 2008 (BST)

   Aww...darn. I was wrong. Looks like it actually has been noted before. *sigh* Shucks, I thought we had something good going there. :( --Jen 02:04, 28 September 2008 (BST)

   Wait...unless the 17th was during the block party...hmm. Now I'm curious. --Jen 02:05, 28 September 2008 (BST)

5. No - What jorm said. -- Grogh 02:06, 28 September 2008 (BST)

   I'm sorry, but did either of you notice the paragraph below the heading "Malton Block Party", where I explained both what it was and why it was notable?--Labine50 ^{MEMS | MHG} 02:11, 28 September 2008 (BST)

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--Karek^maps?! 13:03, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Although it looks like that needs much reworking.--Karek^maps?! 13:04, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

March of the dead

There's no arguing this didn't affect most of malton. And the find rate for syringes had to be raised to stop it so it sure changed the way we play the game.
