Immediate Stuff on Persons of Note

Greetings dear wiki friend. Simply put this is my attempt at creating a who's who of Urban Dead, and as such I'm looking for 20 or 30 characters who have had a lasting impact on UD.

The page itself is protected, but feel free to add nominations below.

Other than that, I'll add stuff as people convince me. Userspace and all that.

Cheers --Ross^lessness 18:41, 11 July 2012 (BST)

Suggested format for Entries

==Ron Burgundy== [[File:RonDrag.jpg|right|thumb|Ron Burgundy ]] Ron Burgundy ([http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=26370 profile link]) was the leader of the [[Channel 4 News Team]]. He helped lead them into glorious battle on numerous occasions, including the infamous [[Battle of the Bear Pit]] and [[Battle of Blackmore]]. Ron participated in the [[First Siege of Caiger Mall]], and indeed almost every historical event prior to his retirement in 2008. His love of [[Suggestion:20071110_Pac_Man_in_Malton!|PacMan]] is well recorded, as well as scotch. Legend suggests his final resting place is somewhere in [[Ackland Mall]] [[User:Ron Burgundy|This link]] should tell you more about Ron.

Bump

There's talk happening over at Category talk:Historical Groups#TX. See list there for ideas. Or, ya know just continue discussing it here. ~ _{18:26, 8 July 2012 (UTC)}

Qualifications?

Just wondering what would qualify a person to be noted here? :) -- Johnny Twotoes 22:37, 10 July 2012 (BST)

suggestions, really. Its not a hard and fast list. --Ross^lessness 22:48, 10 July 2012 (BST)

I nominate Johnny Twotoes! Dude's been playing for over a week now. --Paddy Dignam^{IS DEAD} 23:28, 10 July 2012 (BST)

PKers / Bounty Hunters

Any thoughts on entries for that?
As a general thing, game mechanics make it so that only survivors and zombies really have an impact on a suburb, while the contributions of PKers and BHers are small and short-lived (cheap revives, no AP draining by meatshielding/ruining etc.) Still, "the third side" is a popular and distinctive feature of UD, so it should have at least a couple of token entries. Sirens could be a good pick (founder of Red Rum, the biggest and most important PKer group of long term), as could be one of the founders of the Philosophe Knights (who have definitively put their very own spin on the whole PKing business, and have been doing that for a long time now). As for BHers, no real idea for singling anyone out. -- Spiderzed█ 19:05, 11 July 2012 (BST)

Its a fair cop, and as someone who doesnt involve this facet of the game, one I'll need most help on. --Ross^lessness 19:10, 11 July 2012 (BST)

Sirens and Karloth would be good examples of noteworthy pkers. Particularly that are known around the rest of the game. Sirens is less notable for a number of reasons related to meta-drama and relative quietness for years. --Karek^{maps 2.0?!} 21:15, 11 July 2012 (BST)

Thanks. Only thing left after that to look at is the big fish in the small ponds. --Ross^lessness 21:43, 11 July 2012 (BST)

Bob Hammero, Jimbo Bob, Anton Howard...Hail ASS! :D --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 01:41, 12 July 2012 (BST)

Canderous Ordo (for causing DORIS to transform from a random collection of people with Resenz Forum sigs into the PKer equivalent of the Freemasons, and using this as the basis for some massive PKer events/wars.)

And now the names of all the Philosophe Knights who've had an effect on this game:

...

There are a tiny, tiny handful of people who've played this game with enough effort, outreach, time, and sheer dumb luck to have an actual lasting effect on more than 10 people at a time. The Founders of the PK? You can't even put a name to any of them without research. Seriously, folks. You guys are scraping the bottom of the barrel with a lot of these 'notable' people. --DT^PK 05:40, 13 July 2012 (BST)

Oh, can I nominate myself? I revitalized the Malton Manhunt with my own strings of events that bought the community together for a glorious fun time of killing each other for sport. It was my events that bought the Manhunt era into it's golden age, after all. :P --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 04:20, 12 July 2012 (BST)

I would imagine

...if you are doing just 30 you will need to be conservative but I would think that Jensonson and Bullgod should make the cut. On the more debatable side, I might suggest Josh Clark and Leon Silverblood. Josh's merits were discussed by many in the recent group vote. Leon would be more controversial. He has a lot of detractors, but like him or not, he has been around for a long time and had his fingers in a lot of pies. He is a case of someone who is more known in game than on the wiki I think. DJ talent might also fit for notoriety in his field as would Hibernaculum. -- Albert Schwan  _{Thursday, 12 July 2012}

Josh Clark and Bullgod, yes. Jensonson, maybe. The others, nope. Is there something you can point me to that would explain their inclusion? -- _{Org XIII} ^Alts 04:11, 12 July 2012 (BST)

Never heard of any of them other than Bullgod, who certainly deserves a place. --WanYao 09:24, 12 July 2012 (BST)

leon are you fucking kidding me?--User:Sexualharrison22:31, 12 July 2012

Katthew

I nominate Katthew. Nobody can really deny how ingrained in UD that SA has been. From The Many to DARIS, UTF, New CoL, The Dead, The Malton Globetrotters and The Dead 2.0, Katthew was there. Katthew was all up in Desenz and maintaind the PK list for a long while. I beleive she even helped ressurect the board after it went down and eventually moved to Resenz. I keep expecting her to spring out of the dark shadows one day to make us all her bitch. Katthew is definitely a person of note. ~ _{03:19, 12 July 2012 (UTC)}

Yes. 18:52, 12 July 2012 (BST)

Duke D'oeuvre

Missed him on my last post -- Albert Schwan  _{Thursday, 12 July 2012}

Jorm

Duh. --WanYao 09:22, 12 July 2012 (BST)

Yes. 18:52, 12 July 2012 (BST)

Wasn't he nominated for historical and there was a big shitfit about it? Where can I find that? --Paddy Dignam^{IS DEAD} 16:45, 12 July 2012 (BST)

On the corner of every street, on the face of every child. User:RadioSurvivor may be a good start --Ross^lessness 16:52, 12 July 2012 (BST)

I can't find the historical bid. --Paddy Dignam^{IS DEAD} 18:47, 12 July 2012 (BST)

Look in the misconduct archive under Grim's file. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 02:34, 13 July 2012 (BST)

And where the fuck might that be, Australian motherfucker named after a stupid game that only girls play? (I don't actually know if you're from Oz, but it's a pretty good fucking bet in this place. Also, I've had a bit of Maker's Mark.) --Paddy Dignam^{IS DEAD} 05:23, 13 July 2012 (BST)

Uncle Zeddie was awesome and probably the single most interesting person in this game, no joke. Zeddie + Jorm + Ron Burgundy + Petrosjko for this category. Fin. --Karloth Vois ^¯\(°_o)/¯ 18:14, 12 July 2012 (BST)

Update

There will be no actual definitive number for this, and also I'll try to update one character a day. --Ross^lessness 18:56, 12 July 2012 (BST)
