Obtaining Historical Status

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

  1. Groups must no longer actively contribute to the game.
  2. A nomination should be made on Category talk:Historical Groups.
  3. Voting will last for exactly two weeks following nomination. To be successful, a group must be approved by 2/3 of eligible voters to pass. A minimum of 15 votes must be cast for the vote to be valid. The only allowable votes are Yes and No.
  4. Groups that pass will be added to the category as described below.
  5. Groups must allow a week to pass between nominations.
  6. 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.

New Nominations

Place new nominations for voting here.

DEM groups

Everybody hated them. But everybody knew them. Let's not forget they once created a tool that allowed the scouting of pretty much all of Malton - one of the causes of the anti-DEM sentiment back in the days. But negativity aside, they were big enough to make an impact. -Axe Hack Talk 18:59, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

Yes

  1. Author vote. --Axe Hack Talk 18:58, 9 March 2025 (UTC)
  2. They introduced bureaucracy, sucked the fun out of a game, introduced tools that effectively provided a massive (and abusive) meta-advantage, had more layers than a Shrek-sized onion, were delusional enough to think they could assign an MPD member to every police department and an MFD member to every Fire Station and organized the single most insane and ill fated attack on Blackmore which ended in predictable disaster.... Did I say "they"? I meant "we". Yes. PB&J 19:13, 9 March 2025 (UTC)
  3. Yes -- Dislycan (talk) 20:42, 9 March 2025 (UTC)
  4. Yes absolutely I spent half my time jumping through their hoops, for good and for evil. They were accepted as the LAW and that's important. - Love from Swing XOXOXTalk 21:12, 9 March 2025 (UTC)
  5. Yes UGHHHH but yeah they're iconic Spud (your favourite DJ's favourite fuccboi) 22:01, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

No

404: Barhah not found

Long-time specialists in taking on challenges that most of the survivor side would be too scared to consider, 404 had a special love of going into deeply zombie-held territory and repairing ruined buildings with extremely high repair costs. They also twice captured The Blackmore Building capably enough that special measures were required to purge them as recently as January of this year. They are filthy combat revivers, F5ing spamming psychiatric patients, a total pain in my arse and they corrupted my daughter. Still, they deserve their place in the annals of Urban Dead. --LordMoloch (talk) 17:31, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

The Scourge

A horde that started in 2016 as a "wouldn't it be interesting"-experiment of 2 former EBD-members and quickly grew to become the home of players who were new to the undead experience, as well as of those who returned to it after long breaks. Aside from being consistently active over the past almost-9 years, achievements include thousands of ruins every single year (most of which were meticulously tracked here), a plethora of succesful attacks on trophy buildings (ranging from Malls and Forts to the Burch and Quartly, tracked here), participating in the reverse siege in 5th of November/2016 and in the final big siège of Blackmore in early 2025 and (most importantly) licking a pumpkin that was protected by The Randoms in 2017.

Their history is one of the better documented ones on this wiki, thanks to people like Bob Moncrief and the consistent activity and guidance of the group has been almost entirely thanks to the leadership of Mamah Rotting Rita. If the game wouldn't end soon, I'm confident they would have succeeded in being the first group to have documented ruins of 100% of Malton, as has been our half-joking goal for the past almost-decade.

The Randoms

A Buttonville Group that has been around since April of 2006. They have worked to defend and protect Buttonville (the Butt, as they like to call it) ever since, despite group divisions at times. The group is active to this day, and has been dedicated to keeping the Butt Random, and dressing stylishly in the process. They also have worked to keep Buckley Mall decorated in lights, trees and tinsel throughout the years.

Yagoton Revivification Clinic

One of the oldest groups in Malton centered in Yagoton. No clear leadership or even their own forum, you just had to show up and put in your action points and you were part of the group. No policies other than administering revives to the masses of Malton. With either a smile when you're in Style, wondering around Whatmore or rot revives at Serrell's open door clinic, the YRC has always served fresh needles to everyone. Just show up and await that Mrh? jab.

Yes

CCPD Family

Perhaps not widely known but infuential in our suburb, I played with this group since 2005, activity has dropped of course but there has always been one or two about whenever I've checked in and poked around East Boundwood. From back when we tangled with the Yellow Dart and ALF until now we've been taking care of St. Judes, the Shepard building and of course our police dept HQ (also getting involved in any sieges at Bale Mall in the past along with various historical sieges around Malton). We're unusual in that we have never had a leader and the only person to try to take that position sadly met a grisly end.

Yes

No

  1. No --VVV RPMBG 07:39, 9 March 2025 (UTC)
  2. Sorry, I know we're loosening up a little at the End of Days, but 'Generally unheard of, but influential in the middle of nowhere' still really shouldn't cut it. --LordMoloch (talk) 12:14, 9 March 2025 (UTC)
  3. Do not think you had enough influence with the overall community / lore. -Wesker41
  4. No - We spent a fair bit of time in that area and never heard of this group before. Sorry, but as Moloch said. PB&J 15:58, 9 March 2025 (UTC)
  5. I’ve been around since 2005 and was in one of the early groups you mentioned and can’t recall you. No on this one, sorry. HarveyCarlson (talk) 16:55, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

The Penguin Mafia

These guys were always a lot of fun and a notable group of the East Boundwood area, they had 40 members at their peak and were a really fun bunch of characters to have around. At least one member is still active and their old HQ the Stapleton arms and fuel depot Vimpany Auto repair are still maintained. They're the first group other than my own that I think of when I think of East Boundwood and one of the reasons I've spent a definite majority of my time in the game in that area.

Flowers of Decay

Heirs to the already historical group, Flowers of Disease, the new model FoD have surpassed the original in almost every way. Still capable of clearing packed buildings of twenty plus, whenever such a thing can be found and participants in major events right up until this year. They have been the most effective old school PKer team in the game for over a decade now. --LordMoloch (talk) 22:58, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

Creedy Guerilla Raiders

CGR was founded in 2006 and has maintained its presence in the Pitneybank area ever since. A fixture in the Pitneybank area since then, CGR was an active PK group often finding its victims in the Giddings Mall and Fort Creedy areas. At one time CGR was one of the largest PKer groups active on the groups page. CGR, throughout its tenure, maintained close ties with the PKA and several other notable PKer groups including the Philosophe Knights and Flowers of Decay. Though in its twilight, the last of us Raiders humbly request a spot among the historical groups of Malton.

Yes

  2. I'm going to sling a Yes in here. It's not really for anything recent, but I really think that people forget how influential CGR were as a part of the PKer scene. Back in the glory days of the game they were founder members of the PKer Alliance and instrumental in every one of the Samhain Slaughter events. --LordMoloch (talk) 23:10, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

Knights Templar

Founded in July 2006 and a constant presence in Urban Dead ever since. The largest active survivor group in Malton as of March 2025 with a thriving Discord community and new members regularly joining the fold. The KT battled with every major zombie and PKer group in the history of the game and worked with every major pro-survivor group at one stage or another. I don't think that anyone could dispute that the Knights Templar are worthy of Historical Group status.

Philosophe Knights

Recognizing that the morality of killing is vastly different in a world where death is nothing more than an inconvenience, the Knights set about “enlightening” the population of Malton on the importance of education. Though they have thousands of kills to their secretive initialisms, the Knights were famous for deploying other tactics to educate the population, such as theater, art, lectures, and training on leading tactics. One thing was always sure: when the Philosophe Knights appeared, people would listen, whether they wanted to or not.

More plainly, the Philosophe Knights were a leading PKer group for years, with an influence that spread far wider and made a much larger impact than their apparent membership might suggest (in part because they frequently eschewed the use of group tags). They were never completely inactive, but they’ve recently shown back up on the stats page in large part thanks to the Reunion. —Aichon— 22:07, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

The Ridleybank Resistance Front

There can be no question that the RRF has been a historical group. I would suggest that it has been the most historical group in the game. No suburb is synonymous with threat to human life in the way that Ridleybank is. The Blackmore Building has been the center of countless large sieges between the RRF and humans fascinated by the danger they cause. The RRF has, simultaneously, menaced whatever area of Malton drew their attention at any particular time. From their founding in 2005 by the mythical Petrosjko to this very day, they have been one of the largest, most powerful, most respected groups in the city. Really, this vote is not over whether the RRF is historical, but rather it is over whether it is appropriate, in this final week, to override the rule against making a group which is still very much active into a historical group. I believe that it is appropriate. --VVV RPMBG 02:19, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

  8. Without question. The eternal 'Big Bad' of Urban Dead. Insomniac by Choice said years ago (2008/9 time) that if the RRF didn't exist, it was possible that the game itself might have died entirely at that time.

Quartly Study Group

Helping a friend with this nomination, but there's no doubt in my head that QSG is worthy of Historical Group. With their famous lecture series that invited guests from all walks, their impact was felt in the meta community for decades after. Friends to survivors, PKers, death cultists, and zombies alike, they brought people together in a way that few other groups could accomplish and succeeded in carving out a sacred ground that was respected by nearly all groups, even years later. Though, to be fair to the zombies who ate them, QSG was known for having some of the juiciest brains around. —Aichon— 22:36, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Yes

  1. Author vote. —Aichon— 22:36, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Escape

They were robbed last time in 2010 over still heated feelings about the event. In hindsight, Escape wasn't just the most significant thing to happen in 2010 - it was the most significant thing for many years to come that wasn't just a reheated version of things that have already been done before. -- Spiderzed▋ 22:48, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Yes

  1. Author vote. -- Spiderzed▋ 22:48, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
  2. Escape was one of the first "historic" groups/events I learned about when I started observing UD's oral culture. The original event has been on the This Month template every June since 2013. Bob Moncrief EBD•W! 23:36, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
  3. I strongly feel this deserves historical status, either as a group or an event. A fascinating and unique bit of UD history. Being in that group, the largest of its size for a couple years at that point, I really thought Kevan might have responded to it if the survivors made it to the leave date. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION 23:48, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
  4. Yes, but I think this should be filed under historical events. Also, regrettable that I somehow completely missed this thing. --  AHLGTG THE END IS ACTUALLY NIGH! 03:16, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
  5. Yes - I disagree that Escape (the group) was robbed before. It was the event of the same name that was robbed of historical status before, with the group not being in the least bit noteworthy, but no one ever made a page for the event (so far as I know) and we aren't going to at this point, so it's better to have a little confusion for future UD historians than nothing at all. Especially so since the event itself was not only historical, it was the catalyst for all sorts of other historical groups/events. I stand by my previous No vote and its reasoning, but we're out of time to do it right, so it isn't a hill worth dying on. —Aichon— 20:29, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
  6. Event - I voted No last time, in favor of the event. But I think Aichon is correct that calling the group historical is close enough given the circumstances. I will point out, though, that we do have a page about the event: Escape (event). --VVV RPMBG 02:06, 8 March 2025 (UTC)
  7. Yes. I was there and got eaten during it. It was one of the last great survivor hurrahs and it was, indeed, a group and not just event. Wayson (talk) 23:47, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

Team Xtreme

Team Xtreme deserves more credit than they got back in 2012.

Recent Nominations

Militant Order of Barhah

The MOB defined Barhah Fundamentalism for Malton, putting into sharp focus the philosophy of always-dead, migratory, horde-focused zombies. While the MOB reigned, zombies and death cultists everywhere had to reconsider or sheepishly justify their necro-religious beliefs. The MOB maintained multiple effective strike teams for years. For years, zombie activity in Malton consisted primarily of a deep red Ridleybank and an uncontrollable wrecking ball in the form of the MOB. It was like a nonstop, all-seasons Mall Tour or Big Bash. Survivors could not stop it, so they resorted to fleeing in terror and picking up the mess left behind. Jorm, The Prophet of Barhah, is personally notable for:

  • Being Mayor of Malton from 2010 to today, following the Misanthropy/Revenant administration fulfilling their campaign promise to betray the electorate by handing the keys to the city to Jorm.
  • Hosting the IRC server that was a longtime favorite for UD live chat.
  • Hosting barhah.com, the forum that was a longtime favorite for zombie groups.
  • Making Nexus War, which was more than a little popular. The spiritual successor, Nexus Clash, is still entirely alive.
  • Working for WikiMedia, where you may have seen him asking for donations.

The Prophet of Barhah himself once made the case for his horde in an arbitration case over the MOB redirect. In his trademarked steel wool and whiskey style, he addressed another group that hoped to be known as "the mob": 

Your group consists of less than 20 and has done *nothing*; my group is over 70 and has *smashed suburbs*. We are the MOB; you are the "Malton Mob."

Hagnat further noted: 

They are larger. They are famous. They have Zombies. They have Jorm.

East Becktown Defenders

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.

The East Becktown Defenders officially disbanded on May 1st, 2020, which makes them eligible for Historical Group status. The EBD had been active since 2016, and included dozens of members, including both veterans and entire newbies. They maintained good relationships with survivor groups (including, but not limited to the DHPD, SoC, Knights Templar and the DEM) and zombie groups (specifically the Daubeney Resident Zombies next door, and of course our favourite frenemies in the RRF). Aside from regular survivor-style operations, they also brought a fun, no-pressure approach to the game, along with wiki-tools (like the automatic SitRep on their group page) and weird events (like the EBD StatParty). The group decided not to fade away like many others, but officially disbanded after exactly 4 years of activity.

  2. From what I see is a run-of-the-mill survivor group engaged in standard survivor play of maintaining a particular area. It was not innovative (like MCM or 404 were), it didn't have a distinctive style (like for example B.A.R. or ULC would have), nor was it involved in significant events (like Escape or c4NT were). -- Spiderzed▋ 20:34, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
  3. As Spiderzed. Groups that had some members, did some things, and had a central pitch of being "well liked" didn't classify as historical when Urban Dead was bigger. I don't believe that should change for groups that existed during UD's long tail. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION 05:55, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
