Moved Fiction to Its Own Page

It seems like most people wanted this, so I went ahead and worked on this page. The fiction is preserved, if anyone cared for it, and was moved to its own page: Pre-Outbreak History of Malton. The more glossary-like page that I made still needs some work. Notably the Game History section is just a link, and should probably be expanded to a summary of the major events of the game. --Zarneverfike 06:39, 10 June 2010 (BST)

Location

Saying that it could be in "South Africa, America, Canada, Australia or Belize" more or less directly contradicts the rest of the article. Just wanted to mention that.--Labine50 ^{MEMS | MHG} 04:19, 7 April 2009 (BST)

Demonym

Was "Maltonian" the only demonym considered for Malton? What about "Maltonite?" --Bishop Vagancia I 09:42, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Aye mate, I'm for that!--Super Nweb 08:25, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Suggestion for Picture

As of now there is no picture for Malton on it's page. I suggest this picture. It is of a real city named Malton, it even has a newspaper office with a sign ontop that says "The Malton Gazette". I think this is a perfect fit for out cities picture. Please vote below int he way we do for other suggestions, and remember, sign your posts!!!--Super Nweb 08:07, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Voting (Suggestion for Picture)

1. Yes - I thought of it.--Super Nweb 08:07, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
2. Nay - I don't like the picture. :| --Janus ^talk 12:21, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
3. Yes, but only cause anythings better than nothing. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 08:55, 2 April 2009 (BST)
4. Nope - Anything is not better than nothing. --Midianian^{¦T¦DS¦SP¦} 19:06, 2 April 2009 (BST)
5. Nope - Not my cup of tea. --  RoosterDragon  21:08, 2 April 2009 (BST)
6. no - should we even have a pic for malton, since its location could be anywhere?--JHORROR ^{Black Delta Mockridge Heights} 21:11, 2 April 2009 (BST)

Removing Fanfic Content

i was gonna remove all fanfic from this page, but then i realized most of the page would be gone by doing so. The organizations section was removed, and i think its the only i can easily remove from there cuz it only serves to advertise groups who are not even that famous in Malton. If such section would to remain, only mentions to the military and necrotech should remain. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 15:01, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Latin Motto

I think invenire is a bad verb to use there, it means more to 'stumble upon', rather than find by searching, which is what reperio does; thus: Quaeris et nihil reperis. --Venerax 08:53, 27 May 2009 (BST)

I think someone has already suggested a better translation before, no one wanted to change it because they didn't want to have to re-edit the coat of arms, as I think the original uploader of it went AWOL. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 09:00, 27 May 2009 (BST)

...Considering the motto on this page is already different to the 'official unofficial' coat of arms Latin.. (Which is rubbish, really: "I search (for) you because/which I find nowhere"), so I'll just go ahead; again, it is only a minor, fussy change. --Venerax 05:05, 28 May 2009 (BST)

Flag

Why does the flag is equal to a real life kingdom flag (Kingdom of Castile & Leon)? Can't we change it? --Thoroaeborus 23:19, 7 August 2009 (BST)

Survivor/Zed Disbalance?

What is up with the throwoff between survivors and zombies? I don't get it... why are survivor numbers spiking now, of all times. Is it related to PKer groups in anyway? -- Comrade Texidor

It was my opinion that Survivors have had this numerical advantage over zombies for nearly two years now. --

Isn't there a stat line chart or something we can keep track of? --Comrade Texidor 14:51, 4 April 2010 (BST)

Ta Da! Survivor-Zombie Imbalance --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 21:27, 4 April 2010 (BST)

PKing is a teeny tiny minority of the action in Malton. I mean, I do try, but there's about 100 pro-survivor types for every PKer out there. 21:35, 4 April 2010 (BST)

In fact the biggest danger to survivors is often themselves. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 21:36, 4 April 2010 (BST)

While on the topic, my stats page has zombies listed as 6155 of 20676 players. However, on the class breakdown, it says 6156 characters are zombies. The survivor total is correct though. Anybody know who our mystery zombie is?--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 23:49, 4 April 2010 (BST)

Someone standing up between you seeing 6155 on the first page, and 6156 on the other? Check the number of bodies or total players on both pages in case the number is off there too. 00:19, 5 April 2010 (BST)

It's on the same page, and I even refreshed a few times. The numbers have changed, but there's still a difference of one. The number isn't off for bodies. Bodies and reviving bodies are both included under survivor for class breakdown. The total also has one less at the top of the page.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 23:39, 5 April 2010 (BST)

You're thinking of Bub. His class is military, despite having died in the early outbreaks. --VVV ^RPMBG 08:35, 24 June 2010 (BST)

Then surely that would mean a decrease in zombies on the class list, and increase in military, and a decrease in zombies on the top list.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 09:04, 24 June 2010 (BST)

Bad Mojo

I liked it better before. I wanna change it back! --VVV ^RPMBG 08:35, 24 June 2010 (BST)

Voting (Moving fanfiction back here)

1. Yes - With more than 150,000 views, this page needs some bulk. And it's not like it was low quality stuff. The way it is now, readers of this page will be dissatisfied, and think either that this wiki is underdeveloped or that Malton isn't an important part of UD, while at the same time, the eloquent and elaborate history which has already been written will be hardly read read at all. --VVV ^RPMBG 08:35, 24 June 2010 (BST)
2. No The Dead has 75,000 views. Popular does not equate with size. Plus its still linked. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 10:04, 24 June 2010 (BST)
3. no - I do like both, but the fiction one was too longwinded and had some real shit in it. Would like a bit of a medium between them but I think the new one is p good. -- ϑ^anceϑ^anceℜ^evolution 10:56, 26 April 2011 (BST)

Coat of arms Resemblance

This must have been pointed out by someone before me, but the Seal of Malton is an almost exact copy of the Spanish region of Castilla seal. See it for yourselves: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castile_and_Le%C3%B3n Remarkable. --Mrfoxtalbot 22:59, 23 August 2010 (BST)

Is the end near?

Hey guys, I got a question. So far, there is a major zombie outbreak in the west side of Malton, and its the biggest one i've ever seen. Could Malton's end be near, like the 2 other Urban Dead cities? --Suburb 22 Zombies 03:07, 26 April 2011 (BST)

nope. dirt nap will win--   bitch  03:24, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

yes – Nubis ^NWO 03:31, 26 April 2011 (BST)

Pfft, nowhere near it. 'Tis just a flesh wound. ~ Kempy “YaketyYak” | ◆◆◆ | CAPD |

 

03:33, 26 April 2011 (BST)

The other two cities didn't have revives. It'll be interesting to see how that goes… I think a lot more people are going to need to be doing a lot more revives if harmanity wants to sustain itself against the tide of The Dead. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 09:52, 26 April 2011 (BST)

n -- ϑ^anceϑ^anceℜ^evolution 10:52, 26 April 2011 (BST)

The end is never near. Played a zombie lately? Kevan has decided to be a massive faggot and suck down Survivor dick once again. Barricade attack % have fallen to something like 10%. Needle search rate is back to around 90%. So far to hit % seems to be the same, but bfd. Hey maybe this will lead to even more massive zerging and Kevan's wet dream of zerg generated income will come to full flower.--

| T | BALLS! | 12:53 26 April 2011(UTC)

Having spent vast amounts of AP on syringes lately, I think I can say with pretty much absolute confidence that needle search rates aren't even remotely close to 90% at this time. I don't know. Maybe it's bad luck on my end but its been a hell of an unlucky streak if so. ~ _{00:27, 27 April 2011}

Perhaps it's localized. I have a theory that the % numbers change based on the state of the Suburb you're in. All I know is my one Survivor is pulling out syringes in 9 out of 10 searches. But there are still Kevan Saved Our Asses Deniers from the 2008 Dead event so...--

| T | BALLS! | 05:54 27 April 2011(UTC)

90% my arse. Where the hell did you pull that number from ZL? If anything, hit % has been a bit merked, or has been for me for a while now. My killers have been having horrible luck for a few months now, spending on average 30-35 AP on a single whack. ~ Kempy “YaketyYak” | ◆◆◆ | CAPD |

 

00:35, 27 April 2011 (BST)

Going to assume your "killers" aren't zombies.--

| T | BALLS! | 05:54 27 April 2011(UTC)

Search rates are localised to individual buildings. Ever wonder why some PD's pay out more ammo than guns and vice versa for anotehr PD? -- ϑ^anceϑ^anceℜ^evolution 05:57, 27 April 2011 (BST)

I don't wonder why. It's because Kevan is a douche that couldn't design his way out of a wet paper bag. Wasn't even the basic framework of the game (the only part that's worth a shit) borrowed from some other "vampire game" made by his friend or somesuch?--

| T | BALLS! | 06:04 27 April 2011(UTC)

ye: Vampires! -- ϑ^anceϑ^anceℜ^evolution 06:16, 27 April 2011 (BST)

Where to find survivors?

For some reasson, I can't find survivors anywhere. Where is a good place to look for a zombie? --Suburb 22 Zombies 23:15, 2 May 2011 (BST)

Go East, my son. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 23:31, 2 May 2011 (BST)
