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.

ATTENTION! No new nominations are allowed.
The sysop team will start processing the current nominations through the rest of the day.
If a group or event is not promoted to historical status by the time the wiki becomes read-only on the 14th, its bid has failed.

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)

We have been around (even if only 1-2 members for a few years) since 2005, we made every effort to bring fun to our members and memorable conflicts to those we battled, and with our recent revival I thought we'd have another year perhaps.

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)

  7. I don't even know where to begin. The whole history of UD is heavily intertwined with that of the RRF, and many many historical events like the Blackmore Sieges wouldn't have happened without them. -- Spiderzed▋ 14:09, 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. That's probably a little excessive, but by no means as much so as it might first appear. --LordMoloch (talk) 19:27, 8 March 2025 (UTC)
