Since these are no longer just "Community Projects", they include events or just updates, should we change the name to something more fitting? Maybe Community Updates? Will do the necessary moving, relinking, if so. -- LEMON #1 07:48, 30 August 2010 (BST)

Yep, I'd say so. —Aichon— 02:50, 31 August 2010 (BST)

Question

The guideline page indicates that community projects may be posted here. I have such a project HERE that is designed to benifit the comunity. In past though, I have gotten myself in trouble for posting things that tie too directly to a group on wiki pages designed to be neutral. This tool can be used by anyone and is more helpful to all the more it is used. However, it was created by and linked to a group that I am in. Would it be against the guidelines to post it here? If so, what alterations can be made to the page or the location of the page to remove this objection?-- Albert Schwan  04:19, 15 May 2011 (BST)

Omnimapis, I think, an already existing version of what you're going for. Don't remember if it's bot only though. Might have to make you a code for the SIM it's been a while since I've added anyone but I could see taking a few minutes to figure out again if there's interest. --Karek^{maps 2.0?!} 07:50, 15 May 2011 (BST)

I'd go ahead and add it, NecroWatch was found to be fine and I'm pretty sure I added that one myself (and CP isn't all that active anyway). --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 17:37, 15 May 2011 (BST)

Will do. If someone takes it down, they take it down.-- Albert Schwan  20:43, 15 May 2011 (BST)

Question from The Big Prick

I would like to advise the community that The Big Prick is seeking a new leader, and anybody from the general population can be nominated. Would that be appropriate here or not? Asheets 17:58, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Looking how little we have happening in this space these days, I don't see why not. -- Spiderzed█ 18:00, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Took the entry out... Ran for 6 weeks and got 0 applications. I guess it is time to let the group go inactive for a bit. Asheets 16:38, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Project Timeline

Why isn't UDWiki:Project Timeline on this list? --Klexur 00:17, 6 October 2012 (BST)

It got purged along with other inactive projects. I'd like to see it put back on and brought back to life but then again I'm biased. I was the last to update it and that was weeks ago. ~ _{01:15, 6 October 2012 (UTC)}

Yeah, I cleaned out the list of inactive projects, and Project Timeline was one of them. You guys are welcome to re-add it if you'll be active, however. I was just doing some housekeeping. —Aichon— 08:12, 6 October 2012 (BST)

The project has entered the fact finding and documenting stage, which is admittedly takes the most work. I'll start bugging people about it on IRC again and see if I can't drum up more editors. See UDWiki:Project Timeline/Zombie Timeline for the latest work being done. ~ _{17:10, 6 October 2012 (UTC)}

Order 66?

Players are encouraged to join the Sith of November in punishing the traitorous 5th of November survivors.

I consider that advertising, and removed just that part... PB&J 20:50, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

Advertising for events is perfectly fine. Advertising for groups is what is not allowed. —Aichon— 20:57, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

I'd like to point out that you're targetting a specific group of people, which creates another group in itself... PB&J 21:04, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

EDIT: Your modifications made it a bit more POV, disregard the above. PB&J 21:09, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I removed "catastrophic" since I thought it was (though accurate :P) a bit of a charged word, and I rephrased the traitorous accusations as beliefs, rather than statements of fact. As for groups, I get what you mean, but that logic cuts both ways, since you could argue that virtually any event or cause listed here is for a group of people who want to pursue that cause or join in on that event. And we've never had issues with that in the past, even ones aimed at other groups. In fact, one of the very first events in this page's history was for an "Anti-Big Bash" event in Ridleybank, ironically. ;) —Aichon— 21:26, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

What Aichon said. Community Projects are generally about events pushed forward by groups, which in turn are more in favour of a particular play-style than another and often aimed against the goals of other groups. Truly neutral events like the Malton Beauty Pageant are extremely rare. Just let it slide. -- Spiderzed█ 21:34, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

It was just the very negative connotation in his first wording that I found a bit unfit for the section :) I also never said that it should be completely removed; Order 66 is a great event with an awesome theme and a well-founded cause ^^ PB&J 21:45, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

Quit brown nosing. Nobody likes a suck up. :3 --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 21:54, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

Plus, I didn't write the original thing that was posted here. Vapor did. :P —Aichon— 21:57, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

Johnny, now is the time. I started as a survivor too. I bought my first combat skill immediately before joining a PKer group. Kirsty's first kill of any kind was a survivor. Why? Because I couldn't stand how stupid survivors were. Defect, you seem smarter than those "survivors." I bet you would fit in much better with PKers. And what better way to switch than hunting down your old friends? -- _{Org XIII} ^Alts 22:13, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

I can see how the final bit might be an issue. I'd swap "Players are encouraged to participate in punishing the 5th of November survivors." for "Players are encouraged to join the fun." --Ross Less Ness ^{Enter Stranger...} 22:18, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

Like this? PB&J 22:23, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

Whoa. I would've just advocated using an alt, rather than switching sides, but kudos to you for having the guts to do what you're doing. —Aichon— 22:53, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
