Obtaining Historical Status

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

Groups must no longer actively contribute to the game. A nomination should be made on Category talk:Historical Groups. Within two weeks of a nomination, the group must be approved by 2/3 of the voters, with a minimum of 15 voters for a nomination to pass. The only allowable votes are Yea and Nay. Groups that pass will be added to the category as described below. Groups must allow a week to pass between nominations. Groups must allow 4 months in between when the group disbands and when they can be nominated for Historical Status. (Note: Only for Malton-based groups)

Nominations for Historical Status

When nominating a group, please add a note to Template:Wiki News and add {{HistoricalGroupVoting}} to the top of the group's page. Also, please add {{HistoricalVotingRules}} under the group's application for historical status.

Big Survivors Little Survivor

Anyway, as unlikely to succeed as it is, I'd like to nominate Big Survivors Little Survivor for Historical status.

You probably have no idea who they were. It's unsurprising.

To Paraphrase.

• BSLS were the first group of any description to be created in Borehamwood.

• BSLS members hold the records for both "largest survived suicide repair in a perma death city." (350ap) and "largest suicide repair ever attempted" (529ap)

• BSLS were the largest organised survivor group, before the meta combined all survivor groups into a single lump.

• BSLS helped implement the standardised 28.06 radio channel throughout borehamwood alongside Galaxy News Radio

• BSLS helped in the hunt for Game Over actively tracking Borehamwood's only publicised PK'er group. In the end we managed to wipe out their two leaders, whilst other survivors finished the job.

• BSLS had Borehamwood's only international celebrity, namely Dermot O'leary. Famed throughout the city for his habit of suicide repairs without telling anyone.

• BSLS made up 5% of The Borehamwood 100.

So what? I here you say. Did the BSLS do anything game changing or unique? Well I believe they did.

• BSLS helped discover, understand and fix the single most game breaking error in Urban Dead history, namely the free repair of all buildings with a repair cost of more than 150ap. Rather than exploit a bug that could of led to the reclamation of the entire ruined city in only a month and against the advice of some radical survivors, the Little Survivor's suspended all repairs, and tried to stop the game from massively screwing zombies. As one member commented. "We've stayed ahead of the zombies so far, we don't need this."

And on a slightly more annoying note,

• BSLS were finally wiped out when User:Rosslessness requested Kevan bring snow to Urban dead. Less than a day later the last of the group was devoured by a feral who simply followed their footprints.

Which is why you now get....

• Although it's freezing in Monroeville and Borehamwood, the snow isn't heavy enough to leave footprints there.

So there you go. I look forward to your, "WWWHHOOOOOOO?" comments. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 17:38, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Voting Rules

Votes must be numbered, signed, and timestamped. They can take one of two forms: # comments ~~~~ or # ~~~~ Votes that do not conform to the above will be struck by a moderator.

The only valid voting sections are Yes and No. If you wish to abstain from voting, do not vote.

Yes

1. Yes Obviously. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 17:40, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
2. Yes but maybe have subcategories for the different cities. -MHSstaff 17:42, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

   If there was more than one, then yes. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 17:55, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

   I see. Cross that bridge when you have more than one in Borehamwood/Monroeville?-MHSstaff 18:00, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

   It's been suggested in the past, pretty sure it was rejected because both those categories would be pretty much empty. Linkthewindow  Talk  14:44, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

3. I could vouch for this. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 17:44, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

   You placed your vote in the wrong space >:P --Thadeous Oakley Talk 17:51, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

   I do know who they are, but Ross said he was looking foreward to who comments :P --^TCAPD(╯°□°)╯ ┻━┻ 19:16, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

5. Yes - Have missed Borehamwood, but even I have heard of some of their accomplishments before. -- Spiderzed▋ 17:52, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
6. Aye - Who? Usually when I say who I go "Nay" but not here. Their accomplishments are quite impressive. I didn't play in Borehamwood, so I can't blame the group for not being known to me. --Thadeous Oakley Talk 18:06, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
7. Yes - may as well. BTW Dermot's wasn't Borehamwood's only celeb [[1]] --  ▧  ^{: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :} 19:15, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
8. What you mean it isn't historical yet? Something died inside me when I didn't get to kill Dermot--which feels well funny when you're already very dead. Make it so. And add the Monroeville Many, while you're at it. --Sophie ^{◆◆◆ CAPD} 19:34, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
9. They were a seriously important group - I've heard alot about them, and I did very little in Borehamwood.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 20:21, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
10. yes but Zombie Davina does not approve of anyone else eating Dermot! --Honestmistake 21:21, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
11. Yes - It's a bit of a case of a big fish in a small pond type of situation, as I see it. They might not have been anything special had they been in Malton, but in B-wood, they stood out from what I've heard, and really shaped and defined that city. —Aichon— 21:26, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
12. Yes - BSLS are one of the few non-Malton groups to have had a significant impact on the wider game, and are responsible for one of the game's few truly iconic characters, too. 21:53, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
13. Yes as Thad. I didn't get into borehamwood, but those are impressive accomplishments. (maybe not so if they were in malton, but they weren't) --†hana†ologis† (talk) 02:33, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
14. Yes even if I didn't grab Dermot's sig when I had the chance.--ZIPO/Talk/◆◆◆/CAPD 05:48, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
15. Pretty much as Aich. Linkthewindow  Talk  14:27, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
16. Yes they played with a straight bat --C Whitty 15:09, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
17. Yes -- Rahrah is pumped that he's going to lose another Manhunt. 15:43, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

No

1. Meh - Being the first group in the city, if true, would be worthy if there were some separate category for borehamwood, but the rest looks like padding the resume - finding a bug, doing survivor things like working with other groups and repairing buildings, getting killed when zombies found the last member, etc. This isn't to diminish the fun they had playing or the significance of the group in their own context, mainly I just can't get excited enough about a borehamwood group to put them on par with the historical entries from the main game.--_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 18:24, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
2. ahNO - it pains me to agree with giles.----sexualharrison ¯\()/¯ 02:37, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

   Love you too sexy ;) --_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 14:29, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
