===[[(To The) Four Winds]]===
The group has officially disbanded after losing its fight against dwindling numbers and the shock and void left by the death of the well-loved and highly active player behind Brother Angst. (To The) Four Winds was created in September 2006 as an entirely, totally, 100% mobile revive group, with no home suburb whatsoever. As far as I am aware, it was an entirely new concept at the time and we believe we were the first pro-survivor group to run from suburb to suburb managing revive points and helping local groups rebuild their homes. We somewhat set a model, with groups following suit later, such as the Dribbling Beavers detaching the mobile Bouncing Beavers during the Second Big Bash. We started by following the Big Bash step by step. At our best in late 2006, we were able to attend requests in 2 hours maximum time, despite being only 29. During the Second Big Bash, even with numbers no higher than 12 (and usually much less than that), we were quick, good and respected enough to feature, with others, in Uncle Zeddie’s “Radio Survivor” episode 31 (http://radiosurvivor.blogspot.com, “Darth Zeddie” episode, around min 2:10; March 31st 2008). We have now gone, but we think we set a premiere in a way of playing the game and we also changed the survivor’s mentality from deeply suburb rooted to more mobile minded; thus, for what I believe to be these main contributions to the game, I nominate the group for Historical status.


#'''Yes''' - Nominator's vote. Besides, I think being the first truly mobile reviver group is historical. --[[User:Aureus|Aureus]] 14:30, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
#'''For''' - The group's name still pops up in conversations now despite being a force so long ago. I'm for it. {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 14:40, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
#'''Yea''' {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 15:17, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

#'''Yea''' - I've heard of you, you've been around a long time, and you have a legitimate claim to being historically significant.  Good luck!--{{User:Giles Sednik/sig}} 16:30, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

#'''Yea''' - Nice to have some legitimate claims come through occasionally. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 19:35, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
#'''Yea''' - Historical for the new ideas it supplied. --{{User:Michaleson/sig}} 19:38, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
#'''Aye''' - For the above, as well as an impressive track record of going beyond the game. --[[User:Macampos|Private Mark]] 20:37, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
#'''For''' - It's been a while since I heard the name, but as I remember it anyway means something.  Good luck with the historical status, though I'm pretty sure you won't need it :P [[User:RinKou|RinKou]] 21:56, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

#'''No''' - Sorry, not taking the claim that you created the mobile survivor group model seriously at all. Were you around these events? Yes, I vaguely remember you. Did you do anything in and of yourself to contribute, style or mould the game in a previously unknown way? Not that I can see. An old and well liked group you are, historical you are not. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 06:23, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

#'''Yes''' Former member myself, I found there was no other group which implemented the reviving of the worst suburbs (in the fullest meaning of reviving, not only de-zombifying) better.

Escape

I was told I had to do this through here, but I'll keep it short. Escape is over - it was always designed to end on June 1, something that was heavily advertised throughout the duration of the movement. If you could pass me on this so I can go ahead and start writing my memoirs, I'd be most appreciative. -Captain Video 05:56, 3 June 2010 (BST)

  1. Yes - Definitely one of the most interesting and highly publicised events in a looooooooong time. -- 06:10, 3 June 2010 (BST)
  2. Hell yes - Absolutely. --Sophie ◆◆◆ CAPD 06:22, 3 June 2010 (BST)
  3. Why? - I'm leaning towards a yes for the reasons DDR mentioned, but aside from being highly publicised I'm not really seeing any effects from the event. You know, aside from a whole lot of zombies in one place, which was funny as hell. --Maverick Talk - OBR Praise Knowledge! 404 06:39, 3 June 2010 (BST)
    I understand your point, but events this big are few and far between nowadays. In fact, that's an understatement, since as far as I know, this is the largest gathering of people I've heard of in two years, since March of The Dead and the apparent Battle of Barhapolis. In a game where numbers are declining and group actions en masse aren't as spectacular (particular in roleplaying value), I found this thrilling and exciting. -- 07:30, 3 June 2010 (BST)
  4. Oh, hell yes - Lots of publicity, huge turnout, unfortunate results. --TheBardofAwesome 06:41, 3 June 2010 (BST)
  5. Yes - Same reasons as DDR. μnholy®eign Dual nature player 06:52, 3 June 2010 (BST)
  6. Yes - It was interesting and even though I did not participate, the numbers were large enough that it deserves a mention. --Travis Wells
  7. Yes - Most certainly. --Umbrella-White.pngThadeous OakleyUmbrella-White.png 08:31, 3 June 2010 (BST)
