My Talk Page


Archive 1

Congrats on your Sysoption

I've appointed you to Sysop, as there is a vacant position because of my leave of absence. I hope you enjoy the job. :) —Tanaric 15:40, 30 November 2006 (CST)

Congratulations! Now all shall tremble that see thy edits upon thee wiki! --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 15:41, 30 November 2006 (CST)
Drats - linking to the log gave Tanaric time to post before me!  :-) --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 15:42, 30 November 2006 (CST)
Cheers! Your first action as an admin, archive some of this talk page. :P — Gares 15:50, 30 November 2006 (CST)
Wtg, congratz! ;) ~ Nilles (msg) 15:51, 30 November 2006 (CST)
Congrats Xasxas! :) You deserve it. <LordBiro>/<Talk> 16:12, 30 November 2006 (CST)
Wow thanks everyone! I'll do my best for you guys...now where's the new auto arcieve button...? :P --Xasxas256 17:13, 30 November 2006 (CST)
Long overdue. Congrats!  :) --Rainith 17:04, 30 November 2006 (CST)
Damn, another to keep my abuse of power to a minimum :p Grats man! — Skuld 17:18, 30 November 2006 (CST)
COngratulations! You really deserve the tools and I hope you'll use them well. Remember to act nicely too. ;) --Gem-icon-sm (talk) 19:22, 30 November 2006 (CST)
Congrats Xas! ^_^ - BeXoR Bexor 00:09, 1 December 2006 (CST)
Late congrats. ;D — Jyro X Darkgrin 23:26, 28 December 2006 (CST)
Fashionably late! Woot! (Don't ban me!) — Rapta Rapta Icon1 (talk|contribs) 23:28, 28 December 2006 (CST)
Thanks guys ;) I tell you what, it's been a fun day at the office today! --Xasxas256 23:33, 28 December 2006 (CST)
Wow, I really need to pay more attention to current events...and the top of talk pages :P Anyway Congrats! (shrinks away ashamed of not noticing this sooner :{)— builds Azroth talk 23:37, 28 December 2006 (CST)
So you should be, your talk page is on my watchlist! :P See now I have to punish you, I've just noticed that the crazy person who uploaded your sig icon made it one pixel too high and it's wrecking my talk pages line spacing! --Xasxas256 23:47, 28 December 2006 (CST)
Yours is on mine as well, I'm just not very observant and tend to dart to the bottom of talk pages to see whats new. And...ummm...weren't you the crazy person who uploaded my sig icon? If so feel free to shrink it one pixel if its size is a problem. Its the least I can do after not noticing your greatness for so long :P. (walks away trying to think of how big a pixel is and if shrinking it will have any visible affect on the sig)— builds Azroth talk 23:53, 28 December 2006 (CST)
Are you calling me crazy? Well just remember if you're not crazy you're normal and who wants to be that! Anyway how does the new leaner, meaner and trimmer Azroth feel? ;) --Xasxas256 01:20, 29 December 2006 (CST)
Hmmm...I feel...I feel...I feel sexy. Time for a sexy party ;P— builds Azroth talk 01:37, 29 December 2006 (CST)
Ha ha, that's the funniest things I've heard all day. And you call me the crazy one! still, make sure you send me an invite! --Xasxas256 01:54, 29 December 2006 (CST)
/invite <Xas> there you go :)— builds Azroth talk 04:39, 29 December 2006 (CST)
What??!! How? When? Who? Why? Where? Oh well... Too late now. :P Congrats you old scallywag. :) --Karlos 08:10, 3 January 2007 (CST)
Hahaha! I can notice you're playing too much when you don't know what's happening in the wiki. --Gem-icon-sm (talk) 08:15, 3 January 2007 (CST)
This is cool, people keep randomly thanking me. Hopefully I can stretch this out to Easter! --Xasxas256 21:08, 3 January 2007 (CST)
I have no idea of what is going on. But, seems like everyone is congratulating you. So, seeing you were the only one who cared to post on my old talk page (58.24.194.160 it was about moving a section of a talk page but oh well im so happy now), I'm going to have to say Congratulations. :D Nova 07:16, 11 January 2007 (CST)

Help Request

er... I was wondering if it'd be possible to clean up some of the pages that I've edited but don't want to mess things up more. It's in the Discussion sections of the Build:Team - "Steel Wall" Deep Group and [[Build:Team - Barrage/Pet \(Tomb Ruins\)]]. Pae 15:21, 1 December 2006 (CST)

I've answered your queries on the talk pages of those two articles ;) --Xasxas256 00:52, 2 December 2006 (CST)
uhhh, i kinda made a bunch of redirects of this build, i was putting in wrong places and stuff, and then i thought deleting the content would delete the page, so there are a bunch of blank pages, i was hoping you could delete them for me--Uagathy101 03:38, 14 January 2007 (CST)
No worries, "Vigorous Signet", "Build:W/Mo", "Build:W/Mo Vigorous Signet" and "Build:W/Mo Vigorous Signet" have been deleted ;) --Xasxas256 04:32, 14 January 2007 (CST)

How to rename images? Found an NPC which had been incorrectly spelt (see Watchman Bencis), read through wiki help doco and learnt how to move the article to effect a "rename" of the article, however, have not been able to find how to do similar for images. Don't want to simply re-upload the original image and have the old deleted, as that would be unfair to the original "author" of the image, and figure there has to be a way, so better to learn the proper way than do some nasty workaround. :) --Wolfie Wolfie sig (talk|contribs) 21:00, 1 March 2007 (CST)

The info box has a way to specify an image name other than the default - I updated the article you referenced, take a look at the code to see how I linked it. --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 21:03, 1 March 2007 (CST)
Thanks "Xasxas" :D Yeah, thought about doing what you did, but decided against it as it left an inconsistency, (ie, article and image name not match up). Am getting the impression there is no ability to renaming images at this time? --Wolfie Wolfie sig (talk|contribs) 21:23, 1 March 2007 (CST)
Users and Sysops can't ... there may be a way for those with database access to rename them (ie: Fyren and LordBiro), but my guess is that it's not a trivial thing to change ... which is all the long way of saying, no method to rename images that I'm aware. --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 23:22, 1 March 2007 (CST)
/wave It's 15 minutes till I start the weekend, that's all I've got! --Xasxas256 23:37, 1 March 2007 (CST)
14... 13... 12... 11... (not that anyone's counting right!?), ok, was not meaning having to "hack" the wiki-db, couldn't find anything on the wiki-help pages either, so surprisingly, yes, seems there is no way currently to rename images. --Wolfie Wolfie sig (talk|contribs) 00:32, 2 March 2007 (CST)

Dye images

I recently upgraded the dye images to .png and all uniform size, style, etc (see User:Bexor/Sandbox for comparisons between the old ones and my new ones). I slapped delete tags on the old ones because most of them are crappy and the new .pngs can be used in a lot more situations (coloured bgs like on user pages plus they resize a loot nicer). Now the only page linking to them is my sandbox, so no probs right? EXCEPT GRAY DYE. D:

It's on 20 million pages!! I don't mind editing them all separately but it's so much, can you use robots to do it? I like robots. :D

So what should I do? I can go ahead and do them all - they are all merchant articles - but I wanted "official" advice first. ;D

Plus it's fun to stalk ya. - BeXoR Bexor 04:03, 2 December 2006 (CST) (I'm joking rly don't call police).

huh? Last I looked, while the jpg format loses some resolution due to compression, it resized better than png on the wiki - while could be fixed with the right add-in, but as far as I know, it was never added. In the past on the wiki, png has always tended to pixelate more and lose crispness faster than jpg when resized. --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 12:18, 2 December 2006 (CST)
edit: I just looked into the Dye article. Myself, I prefer the jpg format. Less pixelation in the reduced size images. --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 12:23, 2 December 2006 (CST)
Sooooo we're leaving it for now? Does this mean I can go back to watching the cricket? :P --Xasxas256 19:50, 2 December 2006 (CST)
I still much prefer the new ones, as they are more flexible now, and plus they match. The reason they are looking so pixelly is probably because of the way I cut the image. I will work on fixing it later on (doing xmas shopping today). If I fail completely I'll resave them all as jpg. - BeXoR Bexor 21:14, 2 December 2006 (CST)
The pixellation is a result of the images being png format. Check other resized png images, most will do that. I've even seen some resized png images mangle the color assignments. It's a limitation of the image rendering done by the wiki software, and is a problem that has been known for a long time (this is a large part of the reason that all skill icons are jpg and not png on the wiki). An add-in exists that can allow png images to display better, but it doesn't appear to have been installed on the wiki as yet. --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 15:36, 3 December 2006 (CST)
I just added this at Image talk:BlackDye.jpg; but the conversation is fragmented, so I'll post it here too:
Note #7 under "Rule of Thumb" in GW:IMAGE: 7. Use JPEG format for most images, PNG files do not scale well in this Wiki, and GIF files are usually of too low a quality. This is the same reason that we use jpg for skill icons as those get resized in some uses. --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 10:44, 5 December 2006 (CST)
Well that sucks. :( I'll fix up the jpgs so they look better, but it might be a couple of days away. Christmas time is.. ARGH! I decided I'm doing the table setting and it ended up costing a lot more than I thought and two of the things I couldn't buy so I'm making them. :S That's me, always over-zealous. Well, at least the .pngs are nice for userpages with coloured backgrounds. That's why I made them. :/ - BeXoR Bexor 01:28, 6 December 2006 (CST)

Your Userspace Table

Hey I used your table in my userspace. Hope you don't mind. ^^ Gave proper credit. — Jyro X Darkgrin 12:13, 5 December 2006 (CST)

You're not the first to use it  ;-) --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 12:14, 5 December 2006 (CST)
Yeah no worries, they're a great addition to any user page; they look good, they're pretty handy and chicks dig 'em!! :P --Xasxas256 02:42, 6 December 2006 (CST)
Girl talk: "Hey, why are you dating that geek?" "He's got userspace tables on gwiki!" "Wow, what a man!" :P ~ Nilles (msg) 03:53, 6 December 2006 (CST)
xD We all know that's why I stoleded them. ;) — Jyro X Darkgrin 07:56, 6 December 2006 (CST)
Girls use the internet? o_O - BeXoR Bexor 12:27, 6 December 2006 (CST)
Yeah but you don't see them that much, they're mostly hanging around guys with userspace tables! :P --Xasxas256 16:30, 6 December 2006 (CST)
You know, that's probably why I'm here. It's so powerful it's subconcious. Oh god save me. D: - BeXoR Bexor 22:04, 6 December 2006 (CST)

Explorable Areas

I'd like your opinion for a S&F template I created for Explorable Areas. Thanks. — Gares 15:40, 6 December 2006 (CST)

No worries, I've replied over there. --Xasxas256 16:30, 6 December 2006 (CST)

Thanks for posting that Xas, I appreciate it :) --User:ImbrilShadowfire Imbril Shadowfire 16:47, 11 December 2006 (CST)

Block of User:83.135.153.128

I think you shouldn't have removed the offensive comment from User talk:Dralspire. (Maybe consor the offensive words, but not remove the comment alltogether.) I think in such cases it is better to comment and stated that (and why) the IP has been banned. And by the way: I think a 3 day ban was MUCH too mild for an offense like that. Make it 3 months, at least. --Tetris L 06:30, 12 December 2006 (CST)

Same guy as Special:Contributions/83.135.160.171Skuld 06:32, 12 December 2006 (CST)

I actually saw that user's comment at the time but we don't have a blocking policy anymore to follow so I wasn't really sure. I look the IP up it seems like it's shared (that's how I interpret Dynamic Pool) so who knows when it'll be someone else's IP. When the ban tag was added I figured I should move on it. I consider 3 months too long because the IP will surely change hands in that time but 3 days is probably too short, the only thing in the persons favour was no prior history (or at least not from that IP address).
As for the comment removal, it was just done manually, not using admin tools. That was done as a courtesy, me acting as a user not an admin, same as I would have done a month ago pre sysoping. The comment didn't just use foul language, there was no point to it. If it asked a valid question in unacceptable language I'd probably have censored it as you say, but that was just puerile.
Just read Skuld's post, I guess that's the problem with dynamic IPs. --Xasxas256 06:42, 12 December 2006 (CST)
Edit: Obviously I should have written this...what do you guys think, I'm a new admin and would like to know your thoughts!!! --Xasxas256 06:58, 12 December 2006 (CST)
Another one offering advice. I use the thought, ban however long you deem is appropriate. The factors I look at are whether it's a dynamic IP addresses, the severity of the vandalism, and what kind of mood I'm in ;) I don't think any of the admins actually ban the same way, so it's kind of a learning thing, just don't accidently ban me :P — Gares 07:19, 12 December 2006 (CST)
Woo hoo I can't lose! I can be a Rouge admin now! Actually ever since I've been sysoped I've always wondered what would happen if I banned myself... --Xasxas256 07:44, 12 December 2006 (CST)
That would be interesting :p unblock me — Skuld 07:58, 12 December 2006 (CST)
Ha ha ha, I guess you can block yourself!!! I didn't know if it'd work. --Xasxas256 07:59, 12 December 2006 (CST)
Block

Hmm, now theres a dilema.. — Skuld 08:04, 12 December 2006 (CST)

That is odd! Check this out:
Skuld block
That was from Special:Ipblocklist. You can see I clicked the unblock link then decided I'd let you stay blocked :P --Xasxas256 08:09, 12 December 2006 (CST)
I'll let you admin guys work out the technical issues with banning. ;) I just wanted to add: Editing out offensive comments makes little sense on a wiki, because it's all saved in the history. Removing a comment on a user talk page causes two problems: 1) It violates the basic policy that nobody should edit somebody else's statements on talk page. Editorial content may be edited mercyless, but not talk pages. 2) It confuses the user. He will receive a notification "You have new messages.", but when he checks, he finds no message. Now, if he's familiar with wikimedia he will look up the history of his talk page to find out what's going on, so he will read the message anyway. --Tetris L 08:29, 12 December 2006 (CST)
Maybe I should have used an admin one click revert. I basically considered it vandalism, same if someones talk page was blanked by a vandal I would have restored it. To me it wasn't a legitimate comment it was just vandalism. I didn't consider that "You have new messages" box though and I wonder if a one click admin revert would have stopped that from coming up. --Xasxas256 14:59, 12 December 2006 (CST)
Personally I think 3 days is more than enough. Depending on the ISP an hour ban would be enough! I wouldn't have removed the comment. I would have replied, and possibly censored the comment. But you are right, it was pretty much vandalism, so you aren't in the wrong for deleting it. I think you did fine Xasxas :) <LordBiro>/<Talk> 15:07, 12 December 2006 (CST)
Edit conflict
The admin revert should still leave the notice, although I haven't tested it (feel free to post on my talkpage, then revert it - I'll let you know if the message shows).
If this had been a first occurance, I likely would've responded that unprovoked personal attacks are grounds for administrative action being taken (replying both to the original post, as well as on the author's talk). But, in this case, I'm the one who reverted the edit at Guide to evolving a Dire Pet, and would've recalled the edit by the other IP - so I would've likely just struck out the comment, added the comment about unprovoked personal attacks, then banned him for a few days to a week (appears dynamic IP, so no huge benefit for longer). I have no objections to reverting it either, though. My main thought is on the message notice to the user who has the space. --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 15:14, 12 December 2006 (CST)

70.162.13.209

Bit of a dickwad, wasn't he? Thanks for blocking him. -Auron My Talk 05:32, 13 December 2006 (CST)

He certainly was. My thanks for blocking him as well. And thanks Auron and Xasxas for triple teaming the pages with me. --Wil 05:36, 13 December 2006 (CST)
We pwn :) -Auron My Talk 05:38, 13 December 2006 (CST)
Thanks guys for getting straight onto that, sorry I took so darn long. Given that he/she has a past history of vandalism I'll probably make it a bit longer but there's no hurry, there's two weeks before the current block runs out! --Xasxas256 05:39, 13 December 2006 (CST)
Personally Xas, I think you're too soft. :P I would have made it at least a year for this one.  :) --Rainith 12:05, 13 December 2006 (CST)
Bah Rainith, you are too hard :P <LordBiro>/<Talk> 13:33, 13 December 2006 (CST)

Collector armor

Could you take a peek at my comment here: GuildWiki talk:Community Portal#Collector armor. Thanks. :) - BeXoR Bexor 07:58, 20 December 2006 (CST)

Done ;) --Xasxas256 16:33, 20 December 2006 (CST)
I need help. Ehehe. It makes redirects when I move them. Do I have to del tag all of them? - BeXoR Bexor 00:53, 22 December 2006 (CST)
When you move an article, a redirect tag is put in it's place. Yes, you'll have to place a delete tag on each redirect. Welcome to the world of crusading. — Gares 00:58, 22 December 2006 (CST)
HOORAY! - BeXoR Bexor 01:04, 22 December 2006 (CST)
Can you take a look at User:Bexor/Collectors for me and if you can spread it around. I'll leave a note on some other peoples' talk pages too, but I don't know who is involved in this sort of thing. - BeXoR Bexor 06:59, 22 December 2006 (CST)
Seems ok to me, although you might want to remove the comments (e.g. <-- leave blank if unknown, do not omit), people normally copy/paste those and we probably don't need them in the actual template. --Xasxas256 06:33, 23 December 2006 (CST)
Buahahaha I copied and pasted them from the NPC template! :P I will remove them. :) - BeXoR Bexor 07:02, 23 December 2006 (CST)

Fixed. Thanks for the heads-up. -Krowman's Sig Krowman Krowman's Sig 01:50, 21 December 2006 (CST)

Thanks for that :) --Xasxas256 02:11, 21 December 2006 (CST)
Thanks for the info on my sig as well Xasxas :) Branek Hellbringer 02:48, 26 December 2006 (CST)
That's ok, I'm famous now for my sig help, people all over the world are refering to my words of wisdom in regards to sigs! Which is kinda strange when you think about it considering I don't have custom sig myself! --Xasxas256 04:22, 26 December 2006 (CST)

Ha ha yeah it was so easy until I realised that the new Candysmiths you're working on create problems, read Category talk:Candysmiths and you'll see what I'm talking about!! Ha now instead of you bringing a problem to me, I'll bring this one to you! :P --Xasxas256 07:29, 23 December 2006 (CST)

GVG changes

Exmaplain to me? I don't do gvg but I am fiercly patriotic! :P - BeXoR Bexor 02:52, 24 December 2006 (CST)

[1] explains it but basically the ladder is meaningless now, you won't get much rating from them. It's all about "Daily Automated Tournaments" now meaning any guild that like GvG but it's really serious is going to find it hard because they've got to get 8 players all ready to go at the scheduled time. Because we're in the US servers we're probably going to have to play at 5AM or something... ;( --Xasxas256 03:05, 24 December 2006 (CST)
Ya I read that but it said something about "all time zones". I wonder if they just mean US time zones. I wonder if the schedule is allocated to a guild or if the matches are held every 15 mins or something. - BeXoR Bexor 03:08, 24 December 2006 (CST)
I dunno but I'm feeling very glass is half empty at the moment, I don't like the sound of it all. --Xasxas256 08:18, 24 December 2006 (CST)
Wow. My Internet just went down, and now, all these things start popping up. o.0 What's this about ths new GvG? Is it permanant? And, how did Wintersday go? -- Chuck 20:48, 25 December 2006 (CST)
It sounds permanent, the ladder is supposed to reset for the last time on Jan 1st. From then on GvG is based around tournaments, I'm not sure how the scheduling will work yet but if we to play at times that suit Americans because I'm on the Yank server it's going to very very for GvGing in Australia. We'll have to wait and see though I guess. The worst thing is that if you join a new guild you have to wait 30 days before you can ener a tourney with them. Goodbye non hardcore GvGers I guess, guilds are only going to want core players and recruiting will be very difficult. The ELO ladder system was one of the best things about Guild Wars in my opinion, I don't know why that had to tinker with it. --Xasxas256 04:22, 26 December 2006 (CST)

A Wintersday gift for you...

Happy Wintersday!

Hi. Would you like to view and comment Talk:Main Page/editcopy#Improvement drive. Thank you in advance! --Gem-icon-sm (talk) 21:58, 27 December 2006 (CST)

image size

I was just looking at the recent changes list and User:Bobit is adding a lot of new images, although they look nice and are good quality they are 300kb each, some of them. These are just images for the beast articles. They also have quite a bit of background in them. -- Xeon 09:43, 28 December 2006 (CST)

I've just brought it up with Bobit, GuildWiki:Image use policy states that Larger images should generally be a maximum of 550 pixels wide. You Aussies bringing me work just because I'm up late again with nothing better to do! I should have been getting an early night so I can get into the cricket tomorrow early but oh well. --Xasxas256 10:10, 28 December 2006 (CST)
Pfft count yourself lucky, Us aussies (your aussie too btw) are to lazy to do anything. cricket? what cricket? i thought the match was over today -- Xeon 10:15, 28 December 2006 (CST)
Well yeah that's what I mean, I'd rather be watching the cricket tomorrow than editing the GuildWiki now! --Xasxas256 10:16, 28 December 2006 (CST)
Im going to guess where you are, sydney? -- Xeon 10:17, 28 December 2006 (CST)
We're doing well at the moment! Nah you were right the first time, I planned on going to the cricket tomorrow but the test finished today so instead of getting an early night in preperation for a day at the cricket, I'm instead up late being made too look like a fool by Skuld and trying to explain this to you!! (Which is probably making us both look foolish :P ) --Xasxas256 10:23, 28 December 2006 (CST)
People get things wrong, if skuld didnt pick up the mistake someone else would. I didnt bother watching any of the cricket, i knew australia was just going to wipe them and wipe them they did. Meh, i should be going to bed too. Cya next time. -- Xeon 10:27, 28 December 2006 (CST)
Hmm what guild are you in, i cant see it on the user page. -- Xeon 10:28, 28 December 2006 (CST)
I should go to bed but I've still got a babel box to work on as well as Gem's improvement thing to look over properly. I've almost finished for the night though! (as long as nobody brings me more work :P )
Edit conflict: Ironically with an edit asking me to do more! It's a bit of a long explanation my guild the short version is that it's a PvP guild founded by members of a GvG guild that used to be allied with AuS. Why do you ask? Are you looking for a guild? --Xasxas256 10:32, 28 December 2006 (CST)
Ya, pretty much, surfing around for an active australian guild. doesn't really matter what type of play. -- Xeon 10:39, 28 December 2006 (CST)
Ok wiki code babel done, score one for me! I can send you an invite but we're pretty much PvP, we're in a HA alliance but I'm more of a GvG fan myself. --Xasxas256 10:55, 28 December 2006 (CST)
hmm yeah ok, ill give it a go. i woundnt mind moving into PvP more. -- Xeon 11:05, 28 December 2006 (CST)

Aurgh!!! We went and uploaded new images ... huge again ... changing the templates in articles to be too big again ... **sigh** --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 11:20, 29 December 2006 (CST)

Offesive comments

On User talk:Rapta Skuld not only said i make "stupidass comments" but countinued to make fun of me and be offesive. I find it very horrid and hypocritical that you ignore his horrible behavoir simply beacuse he has admin power. He seems to never stop in making fun of me, my builds, and my intelligence.--TheDrifter 22:08, 28 December 2006 (CST)

Drifter: If you're interested, I answered on Skulds talk page. Although you haven't acted like you should have (judging from the different talk pages I have watched), it seems to me that Skuld isn't completely innoscent. I'm not accusing anyone of anything as I haven't research all of the events, but you can be sure that no injustice is done. If you have violated the wiki policies and understand that it was wrong, you might get a small ban. The same goes for Skuld. Otherwise it's just politics, discussion and more discussion. --Gem-icon-sm (talk) 22:22, 28 December 2006 (CST)
Given that the he was responding to your comment: Honestly, who made you an admin? Your mother? You and SkuldJR (Rapta) are two of the biggest jerks to me on this wiki. I'm not entirely sure you have a leg to stand on. What Skuld said wasn't particularly nice but what you said was a offensive and direct personal attack. I'm not sure where he's continued to make fun of you though. You behaviour seems to have developed a pattern of personal attacks against Skuld and Rapta. Skuld's comment was more in the mould of a one off expression of mild exasperation to something pretty nasty being said about him. I also don't see any abuse of admin power being committed by Skuld but I'm happy to look into anything that is brought to my attention. --Xasxas256 22:25, 28 December 2006 (CST)

I said they were jerks to me. And I never called anyone an ass, he called me an ass a "stupidass" infact.--TheDrifter 22:29, 28 December 2006 (CST)

Aw, man. You called me SkuldJR. That's pretty offensive, but I'll let it slide. =) — Rapta Rapta Icon1 (talk|contribs) 22:30, 28 December 2006 (CST)
I'd think you'd be flatterd. If I don't get banned over voicing my concerns about Skuld being above the rules I'll be sure to make you a userbox.--TheDrifter 22:34, 28 December 2006 (CST)
It's pretty hard to be Skuld Jr., seeing as he's so young already. Just pointing out the obvious. Entropy 22:35, 28 December 2006 (CST)
Aww, you're really going to do that? That's so sweet. I don't know why anyone would ban you. =P — Rapta Rapta Icon1 (talk|contribs) 22:36, 28 December 2006 (CST)
Everoyone, stop flaming each other. If you want to continue real discussion, go to Skulds talk page. I've also posted my conclusion there. --Gem-icon-sm (talk) 22:40, 28 December 2006 (CST)

Ty for cleaning up my mess lol. ^_^ - BeXoR Bexor 04:16, 29 December 2006 (CST)

Heh heh, things were a lot messier this morning (read ^ and you'll see what I'm talking about). I'd prefer to clean up your mess anyday. That probably could have come out better! --Xasxas256 04:22, 29 December 2006 (CST)

Copyrighted images

What is to be done when someone is uploading copyrighted images? I've reverted them so far, but I'm beginning to think a revision deletion is more in place. — Galil Ranger 08:14, 29 December 2006 (CST)

Addition: Example, some of these images are copied straight from the collector's edition art books. — Galil Ranger 08:15, 29 December 2006 (CST)

Yet another addition: It seems those images were also from the various Fansite Kits, but the question still remains as what one should do if a copyrighted image was to pop up. — Galil Ranger 09:45, 29 December 2006 (CST)

We are allowed to use any image from in-game or from the guildwars.com galleries - others should only be used with the permission of ArenaNet or its representatives. --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 11:19, 29 December 2006 (CST)

GW:1RV

Got a double-reverter going on [[here]]. They think they have the right to revoke a "tested" status based soley on their vote vs. the majority and reverted the status twice. I'm putting up a ban notice as it is a bannable offense. — Jyro X Darkgrin 15:20, 29 December 2006 (CST)

I left messages for the user. The user now appears to be following site policies now that he's aware of them, so I've removed the ban request. --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 15:50, 29 December 2006 (CST)

Thankyou

Thanks for taking action in regards to User:Fable Warlord. I really appreciate it...the situation was starting to get just a little weird and out of hand. I wish you admins didn't have to deal with such things so much, though...but I guess it's part of the job, and the Wiki is better for it. Again, thank yous :) Entropy 07:28, 3 January 2007 (CST)

Good job handling this one. I think your ban notice and duration were just what they should have been. I also looked at other contributions of the user and he should really think twice (or thrice maby) before posting stuff on talk pages. --Gem-icon-sm (talk) 07:47, 3 January 2007 (CST)
No worries guys, as I said to Gem once, becoming an admin hasn't been the life changing thing I thought it'd be, it's just more work! --Xasxas256 21:08, 3 January 2007 (CST)
Ofcourse it isn't making a lot of difference. Just a few extra tools, some more things you must do and possibly some more respect from others. But don't you feel usefull now? :) --Gem-icon-sm (talk) 02:25, 4 January 2007 (CST)
Probably less respect now that I've become one of them! I do feel like I have to edit and respond more responsibly to things although I've always been pretty measured and considered anyway. Congrats on the big 1.5 too ;) --Xasxas256 02:56, 4 January 2007 (CST)
Thank you very much! --Kalomeli & Gem-icon-sm 03:25, 5 January 2007 (CST)

Moving pages

I've been looking for information on how to move pages and I haven't found any, as I'd like to move one of my builds to my userspace. Can you please help? --Ufelder 00:11, 4 January 2007 (CST)

Well I've got some info on it here. In simple terms you use the move tab at the top then add a {{delete|reason for deletion}} tag to the old article if required. Sing out if you need more help ;) --Xasxas256 00:17, 4 January 2007 (CST)

hey

Im going to be off gw for a few days, my computer has taken a turn for the worst suddenly and my cpu is running 100% with the smallest tasks. It is either my hdd or motherboard and i hope its the cheaper of the two -_-. Anyway im on a freinds laptop, just thought i would tell you why i will be idling for the next few days possibly till after monday. -- Xeon 14:07, 4 January 2007 (CST)

I'm not entirely sure how a faulty HDD or M/B would make your CPU run at 100%...sounds a lot more like a malicious/poorly written piece of software to me...but hey you're the one doing Software Eng! Anyway good luck with it. --Xasxas256 21:12, 4 January 2007 (CST)

Zaishen Elite

I did when it was first released, after that I lost interest. My information is therefor old, and if someone is saying elsewise with more recent testing, I defer to them. And Faction seemed to work generally like how suggested... with the cap increasing the number of rounds you go (many, many times I would die at X rounds, still gaining faction, but when I restarted gain nothing). Ubermancer 23:05, 4 January 2007 (CST)

Soooo no hard figure hey? :( I was hoping for something a bit more definate because FoxBat was a bit vague too, 8 or 9 AI and the max cap thing "Needs more testing" in his/her words. Oh well I've put it into Category:Research needed for now. Thanks anyway. --Xasxas256 09:29, 5 January 2007 (CST)

I would recommend you to make the image a redirect to your user page. Also, the red is a disturbing color. Could you make it a bit lighter? Otherwise the sig is ok. --Gem-icon-sm (talk) 09:05, 8 January 2007 (CST)

Gamer box

Hey, check out the new version of my Gamer box and see if it doesn't hurt your eyes. :P I changed the second yellow color to silver, so it goes gold/silver/gold/siver now. More blingage.  ;) --Rainith 17:10, 8 January 2007 (CST)

I think the background colour needs to be a little lighter. - BeXoR Bexor 22:19, 8 January 2007 (CST)
Sorry for the very late reply, looks much better now ;) Although maybe it could do with more bling, have you thought about adding solid ice? --Xasxas256 07:00, 9 January 2007 (CST)
LOL! I would use the solid ice heart, but I'm afraid Gem might think I'm trying to steal his. As for the background color, I was trying to go with something like the color of a darkened (powered down) monitor for it. If you have a different color to suggest Bexor (but not a color already used for a title box background), please do. --Rainith 20:34, 10 January 2007 (CST)
I dont know what the title background is, but I think #669999 looks nicer because it isn't as contrasty with the first box. - BeXoR Bexor 20:39, 10 January 2007 (CST)
Have you seen the Unlucky box? You can't get much more of a contrast then black and white. :P I'll try to see if I can find a different color (I'm not a fan of #669999 for this box). --Rainith 20:54, 10 January 2007 (CST)
The thing is, that one works because the pic of the cat is black too. - BeXoR Bexor 21:01, 10 January 2007 (CST)
Sorry Bexor, I couldn't come up with another color I liked for that one. --Rainith 02:24, 15 January 2007 (CST)

Out of curiosity what should I, Joe User, do if I see this kinda thing happening? Alert <specific> Admin, alert <random/one I like the most> Admin, alert <last seen in recent activity> Admin, slap a ban tag on the user page myself...? --NieA7 08:06, 10 January 2007 (CST)
You normally always use {{ban|reason}} although if you add a note to my talk page I'll notice You have new messages first ;) If I'm ever in my room watching TV I'll generally have Recent changes open and will refresh it every couple of minutes just to make sure there isn't something I have to attend to (good edit summaries are quite helpful if I see "+ban" it'll immeditately grab my attention). I check Category:Candidates for banning pretty regularly but for something urgent I'll probably notice something on an admins talk page first, I've got all the active admins on my watchlist and I'd image they they've done the same. Sorry I didn't mean to write to much, in short for major/mass vandalism use {{ban|reason}} and hit the most recently active admin's talk page, otherwise just {{ban|reason}} is probably fine ;) --Xasxas256 08:29, 10 January 2007 (CST)

Perm link and deletion?

Here to bug you again >.> . I think that it's a bit of a dumb question, but you never know. When a page is deleted, does the 'Permanent link' still link to it? And if not, what's the permanent link for? To find easily find something if it's moved? Thanks :) ~ GeckoSprite Pae 22:45, 7 February 2007 (CST)

It's a link to that particular version of a page. If the page is deleted, it won't be available. --Fyren 22:48, 7 February 2007 (CST)
You can create a permanent link yourself by going to the history and choosing a particular revision. It just grabs that article, how it looked at a particular point in time. As Fyren said, it won't work if the article is deleted. Wikipedia has a bit more on it. --Xasxas256 22:54, 7 February 2007 (CST)

Typo

I'm just putting this here, since I'm not sure whether we are allowed to edit other people's userpages. In General Help at number 3, it has "GuildWiki:User questions can is used as a Question/Answer forum." Should the be be instead of is? It does not sound right... --Albinobird 16:57, 20 February 2007 (CST)

Heh, thanks, that must have been there a looong time! Oh and if you haven't worked it out already, you can use the Upload image link on the left navbar to upload an image. --Xasxas256 08:31, 21 February 2007 (CST)

Assassin-icon
No, he was telling you something. Your signature is in violation of site policy. Per GW:SIGN, the users signature may include one small icon. The icon's image file should not be larger than 50 pixels wide x 19 pixels tall.
On your question, remove the "thumb" and "center" tags. A "px" tag can be used to resize to a given number of pixels.

WTF? is a subset, i always see you saying you must subset this (i.e. always a sig needs to be subset i see you saying)? -- Wingsthatheal-icon "Wings" 07:02, 5 March 2007 (CST)

I believe you're referring to "subst". This means substitute I believe. Basically it means to use the wiki mechanics of subst (e.g. {{Subst:Unsigned|Zampani|10:53, 5 March 2007}}) on something so that when a page is loaded it doesn't have to link to another page for it's content. For example, template:unsigned is used to identify comments that have not been signed. When using this template it is appropriate to subst it so that there are not hundreds (if not thousands) of pages that all load that template. If they all were forced to load it, I believe it would cause major performance issues. In the context of a signature, it's much the same. Some people use advanced signatures, so must subst it in order to not cause other problems on the wiki. --Zampani 10:55, 5 March 2007 (CST)
ok -- Wingsthatheal-icon "Wings" 17:30, 5 March 2007 (CST)
There's a lot of templates we subst because if you don't, when you make a change to the template the wiki has to update every page that the template has been included on. When you subst it, is basically copies the code so it's static and if the template changes, it doesn't update every page. --Xasxas256 19:19, 5 March 2007 (CST)
o ok that makes sense now. -- Wingsthatheal-icon "Wings" 19:24, 5 March 2007 (CST)

So most AOL users should be able to edit Wikipedia without problems but I'm not sure how the GWiki works with X-Forwarded-For headers. --Xasxas256 18:04, 10 March 2007 (CST)

Sockpuppetry

While you're in a blocking mood, could you investigate these users for sockpuppetry?

The issue I'm referring to is Build:Mo/any Protection Spammer. The first three are also involved with Build:D/W enchanted sword. Thanks in advance. Cheers. - Candle Krowman (talkcontribs) 00:20, 11 March 2007 (CST)

"Wings"

Does this build look good or even work?

Way of the Empty Palm

Way of the Empty Palm

Death's Charge

Death's Charge

Burst of Aggression

Burst of Aggression

Jagged Strike

Jagged Strike

Wild Strike

Wild Strike

Repeating Strike

Repeating Strike

Signet of Malice

Signet of Malice

Resurrection Signet

Resurrection Signet


Basicly use left to right until Repeating Strike then just spam that for 0 energy. If you get blind use Signet of Malice to remove it.

use for PvP for basicly spiking casters, even spamming Repeating Strike on Melee's or Rangers.
Wingsthatheal-icon "Wings" 08:23, 12 March 2007 (CDT)
Well put it like this, if you asked me, "would you run this build?" My answer would be no. Sins are so weak, forget Death's Charge, what you need is a way out, not a way in! Think Return or Recall. I'm not a big Way of the Empty Palm fan, Shadow Prism and Expose Defenses are the way to go at the moment. There's been a few other builds similar to this like Build:A/any Sleight of Hand too. --Xasxas256 07:19, 13 March 2007 (CDT)
since you seem to have a couple of builds (lots) i was wondering how do you think this build would work in PvP or 1v1's?
Basicly use left to right until Repeating Strike then just spam that for 0 energy.

If you get blind use Signet of Malice to remove it.

ok then im just trying to think of build other then BoA just a bit old and boring after you use it for a few days lol (but still works effective most of the time) -- Wingsthatheal-icon "Wings" 07:49, 13 March 2007 (CDT)
[[Build:A/W BoA Assassin]] is popular because it works! Recall can be useful in GvG if you're in a gank team or if you're helping the flagger. I don't 1v1 very often but maybe Mending Touch/Sig of Malice and FN/Restful Breeze? --Xasxas256 07:56, 13 March 2007 (CDT)

ok, i would only use this build 1v1 agisnt a caster or ranger, other then that i use [[Build:A/any Critical Fox]] with a few of my own varrients to tank many warriors and dervs or a couple of Assassins, easierly kills em with no health loss at all lol. -- Wingsthatheal-icon "Wings" 08:04, 13 March 2007 (CDT)

Ranger, no. But Way of the Palm simply doesn't do much for spam becuase Moebius + Death Blossom spam does far more damage and takes care of its own energy needs through critical striking. If something does more damage, can't be stripped, and can be chained with even more skills (HoTO), why not?--Silk Weaker 08:07, 13 March 2007 (CDT)

Everything except a Cripshot of course :P --Xasxas256 08:12, 13 March 2007 (CDT)

but thats the thing some monks in PvP have hex breaker and next hex fails so BoA automaticly becomes usless, and also what you suggested becomes usless to if you cant get the monk or foe down to 50% health that elite and rest of spam becomes usless, everything has a down side! and with an IAS you get more out of WotEP and Rs. -- Wingsthatheal-icon "Wings" 08:10, 13 March 2007 (CDT)

Heh, true, but remember, Death Blossom has 2 second recharge, so it can be chained even if it does not trigger. What we do sometimes is with Black Spider > Horns > Moebius > Death Blossom. We spam Death blossom, and if they are 50%, we could use horns for KD as well, but the last 2 skills are already enough. As for hexes, we use 2 hexes. Siphon Speed and Expose. Both have decent recharge, and are usable. Also means Guardian/Aegis/Weapon of Warding would be useless. --Silk Weaker 08:21, 13 March 2007 (CDT)
Not to mention Wards and Distortion. If you could just fit in Shattering Assault or Assault Enchantments or Shadow Shroud you'd be set for life! --Xasxas256 08:29, 13 March 2007 (CDT)

Tonde, how dare you, you didn't invite me to the chatroom.
We were fighting Trex, too. I hope they aren't here, but they didn't play too well at all. Sad thing is that despite all that we still lost. Norots er7ed and Wolven rubberbanded at VoD (everyone as 10% morale at that point). Gogogo watch if you haven't already.
kk, let's join Law. -Silk Weaker 08:05, 13 March 2007 (CDT)
@Gares; no u. I'm in the market for one actually :P -Auron My Talk 08:08, 13 March 2007 (CDT)
@Silk didn't you see the sign, this is a HA thread, only people with 1900+ posts are invited! Unless you show me your nerd with coke bottle glasses and no life emote I can't give you an invite! I did have a look at the match and I think it boiled down to one thing; we would have won if there was more blacking out! --Xasxas256 08:17, 13 March 2007 (CDT)
I so do, I just do my edits out of account....
Also, you probably didn't see it on replay (and instead saw my pro overextend like a bitch, as in, overextend so you run past your warriors, their warriors, and their midline), but I leaked, say, an RC on reflex, and blinding surge. My internet must be nice to me today. Their mesmer wasn't watching me enough (he didn't change targets, I knew when he was watching, or even who he was watching), nor did the warriors despite my overextention, so I managed to just divert and leak everything and walk back. I don't think AoD would've mattered, I could have walked in to black out for all that mattered. ><
Why are you always afk on guildwars gah, or are you ignoring us on guild chat?-Silk Weaker 08:31, 13 March 2007 (CDT)
Oh yeah, I sooo could have overextended more than you, I woulda been overextending so far I would have been taking out their NPCs! Plus I'm like a spider with the multiple eyes, I see everything, I give "Fast Casting" a new definition!
Wha? You're the most afk person I know, most people go away for a bit at some stage during the night for dinner but you must be having a 5 course banquet every night! :P See using my talk page is clearly better than talking to you in game, this way instead of just you thinking I'm an idiot, everyone is thinking it! But at least I know how to log in! :D --Xasxas256 08:40, 13 March 2007 (CDT)
Jobs are fun, Auron. I'm at mine now and instead of working for my money, right now I'm putting together a new ranger build and about to work on the alliance website. And sweet, I get to stay in this thread, flashes r5500+. :D — Gares 09:00, 13 March 2007 (CDT)

Need a help

Hi, please could you as professional tell me how to convert this part of code to wiki code? <A HREF="http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/User:Dunnowho"><IMG SRC="http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Image:hisimage.jpg"></A>. Otherwise said, i dont really know how to create a link to something starting with picture. Have tried lots of possibilities but failed. Thx in advance. -- Zeratul 05:08, 29 March 2007 (CDT)

Use Template:Navimg. It's the only way to do it (that I know of but Im 99% sure). The only problem is it will be forced onto a new line. Alternatively, go to the image (if you uploaded it for personal use) and type this on the first line: #Redirect [[Pagename here]]. - BeXor Bexor 05:30, 29 March 2007 (CDT)

Yea, redirects only work internal to the current wiki - won't work to external. I did modify the code a bit - feel free to revert it back to just "W:" ... personal preference is to spell out "Wikipedia:", but both work. --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 10:51, 30 March 2007 (CDT)

o.O

Only three days? You're a nice one. -Auron My Talk 04:23, 2 April 2007 (CDT)

There was no prior history from that IP and it looks like a dynamically allocated address. Most blocks are for 1 days, 3 days or a week because those options appear on the drop down box. I see three days as the norm for the majority of vandalism and a week or more for repeat offenders/mass vandalism. If you'd like me to delete User talk:71.81.250.19 I can though. --Xasxas256 05:06, 2 April 2007 (CDT)

Comment Removal

I know that comment removal from talk pages is usually frowned upon, but I think the new comment on Talk:Gaile Gray by an anonymous user (IP: 71.144.86.181) should be removed, due to violation of GW:NPA. It says to report these kinds of things to an admin, so... --User:AlbinobirdAlbinobird 21:50, 4 April 2007 (CDT)

That kind of thing you can just remove yourself, I know we don't normally remove talk page comments but that just falls under the category of childish vandalism, you don't need to be an admin to remove that. Some people leave that kind of stuff on their talk page as I dunno, a sort of badge of honour or a bit of humour but as you've raised an objection to it, I've removed it ;) --Xasxas256 22:16, 4 April 2007 (CDT)
I can't stand people who think it's funny to do things like that. Thanks Xasxas for letting me know the policy on those kinds of comments. :) --User:AlbinobirdAlbinobird 23:18, 4 April 2007 (CDT)

Take a look at his contributions. I've striken the votes he posted on both the dust arrow and the lyssa's builds, as he had already voted favoring both, though I think it's rather more your place to move the warning from the IP's talk page to his talk page.

On the other hand, if I've been completely out of line (as I realized I might be about halfway through typing that), feel free to revert the stuff I did (or tell me to do it, I'll be happy to), slap me on the wrist a few times, and so on and so forth. --Armond Warblade Warrior(talk) 19:43, 8 April 2007 (CDT)

Requesting Administrator Assistance on Content

Greetings. The page Secondary professions for a Dervish needs administrative attention. All the information is on the article's Talk page, as well as in the history of the article itself. I'll attempt to provide an unbiased summation of the issue: User Skuld has deleted an unknown number of notes that attempt to present the option of using Apply Poison on a Dervish Scythe. He insists that this is not the "best" way to inflict damage as a Dervish, and thus deletes the notes whenever a user posts them. My argument is that "best" is a subjective term, and that only the individual player can decide what is best for him/herself. I also insist that, although how well the abovementoined skills work is likely debateable issue, it's is still noteworthy, and that for this reason, a note should be allowed to indicate the possibility of using this skill. Though all of this is important, my primary concern is that a small handful of users (Skuld and party), have continuously trumped a much larger community effort to make Apply Poison notes on the page. I believe this is a case of the few asserting rule over the many, and I have suggested a compromise: Notes regarding Apply Poison should be added to the page, followed by a qualifying statement that warns against [opposing reason] (energy management, for example). As I said, the talk page speaks for itself, and I believe an unbiased third party is needed to resolve the issue. I have also flagged the page for administrative review. Thanks for your time.--Ninjatek 14:16, 10 May 2007 (CDT)

Toldja so. -Auron My Talk 14:33, 10 May 2007 (CDT)
I've responded at Talk:Secondary professions for a Dervish.
I don't see this escalating like the builds section, firstly because there's no new submitted profession combinations and the second reason, which relates to the first, is I don't think the discussions are as heated on the profession combo pages. This because nobody "owns" a combo, unlike the way people submitted their own build and there's no vetting process, just discussion. --Xasxas256 20:05, 10 May 2007 (CDT)

Guest List

You and anyone reading this might want to take a look at This Page. If you ever need a guest for anything just message someone from that list, or if you find yourself not getting your daily helping of PvP add your name to the list. Hopefully it will keep gaining popularity until everytime someone needs a guest, they turn to it first (after their friends list). Next time you're in a group and need 1 more but cant seem to find one, think about it =) VegaObscura 03:17, 2 June 2007 (CDT)

Tell me about it, just edit a page edit (as opposed to a section edit) and it took about 30 seconds!
As for the sig, it's now even worse still! Aside from the love hearts (what's wrong with the icon you had?) it's now more than three lines (at 800x600 resolution) in the edit window. Sorry dragon girl, try again!
Also I wasn't bedridden for the 6 days that your sig contravened GW:SIGN but I have been sleeping poorly of late. And it looks like I will continue to! --Xasxas256 01:34, 15 June 2007 (CDT)
Man its only more than 3 with the date. I tried soooo hard to keep it short but as soon as I thought of the colors I wanted them. The hearts didn't look good the same color unless they were like a space away from the word but then if my sig is near the end of the line, it gets broken up. Lots of people have way more colors in their sig... =(. What was the picture in my old old sig of? could People even tell? The one I just had was from Withdraw Hexes. I'll see what I can do. —JediRogue 17:07, 15 June 2007 (CDT)

Bex, I'm not sure what you mean by font tag colors don't work in sigs, they work fine from from what I've seen and more importantly, you call yourself an Aussie? It's colour! XD Both suggestions are short enough so you could go with Deathwing's JediRogue suggestion or Bex's:

How's this? Also, the Grinch is from my last name, "Grinshpon", pronounced Grinch-pon so everyone just calls me Grinch. —ǥȓɩηɔɧ/ 23:24, 25 July 2007 (CDT)

But would you say it shows you user name or by other means make clear your user name? Those symbols barely look like Grinch to me, when I saw your note on Auron's page I didn't recognise ǥȓɩηɔɧ as you. If you used that odd font to write out Mgrinshpon that would probably be ok or if you just wrote Grinch, that's an acceptable shortened version of your name. But if I can't recognise ǥȓɩηɔɧ as being you, and I know you, so in my book it fails to make your user name clear. --Xasxas256 23:31, 25 July 2007 (CDT)

Hiya Xasxas, just a brief note to let you know, I've made an edit to your User:Xasxas256/GW:Xas page, was referencing a couple categories which don't exist and was the only page using them.

Just to let you know, User:Warwick has stolen copied re-posted your help guide in his own userspace. Just letting you know in case you object to that. I also added your name to the help guide.

On an unrelated note, are you still active in-game and on the wiki?

Warwick, I've had a look at it in your namespace, that's fine. Nova, I was playing earlier in the year and was on www.augw.net a bit but not any more. I think that the last guild I was in was a last chance effort for us all, there's not many Aussie GvG guilds left so we were a bunch of people from all different previous guilds who largely knew each other. The players and skill was there but too much e-drama and not enough patience. I did join another guild afterwards but these days in my timezone 1 hour waits for a match are not uncommon so at that point I hung up my mouse. --Xasxas256 01:17, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Plus, the official wiki doesn't seem to be doing much better in terms of having main namespace content edits. I feel a disturbing amount of scarcasm from that paragraph of comments in general. -User:PanSola (talk to the Follower of Lyssa) 02:51, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Pagent is my fault, check my userpage and talk pages.--Gigathrash sig Gìğá†ħŕášħ is hosting a beauty pagent! 02:51, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
So did someone got me involved in a beauty pagent and didn't tell me about it? o_O""" -User:PanSola (talk to the Follower of Lyssa) 02:54, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
You're not entered, if you want, you can be though.--Gigathrash sig Gìğá†ħŕášħ is hosting a beauty pagent! 02:55, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Not interested. Just trying to figure out what's going on with those comments Xasxas directed at me. -User:PanSola (talk to the Follower of Lyssa) 02:57, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
I at least somewhat understand what your pagent is, but I don't understand the why. Thanks for clarifying that, it wasn't intended as sarcasm, well ok I didn't actually mean that this is now BeautyWiki or something. It was more just a "tell me what's going on with the wiki." (Because I've been out of it for a while and am a little confused and interested to see what's the happs.) Hopefully this pic will explain the rest:
Tasty Pansola
I saw this the other day and it reminded me of you, I must say you're looking tasty there, you should be a shoo-in for the pagent! --Xasxas256 03:07, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Oh see I thought you were entered in the contest because there's was this new fandangled voting thing there with you name on it. But it's since been edited. --Xasxas256 03:09, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Ah ok. I guess that cleared everything up. I don't actually actively follow what all these kids are up to on their user pages. -User:PanSola (talk to the Follower of Lyssa) 03:11, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
That's ok, I change my page about 3 times a day, but your missing some very good inside jokes here!--Gigathrash sig Gìğá†ħŕášħ is hosting a beauty pagent! 03:15, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, thanks to Xasxas256, now I just *became* interested in it. Well, interested in entering with the pic he gave me at least, not really gonna keep track of it. -User:PanSola (talk to the Follower of Lyssa) 03:18, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

And here I was thinking that this kind of thing is below one of Wikia's movers and shakers. I have no idea when you got the position but congrats on the role, I've noticed you on a few other Wikia wikis now. The official wiki looks like a very very seriously place, most of the edits seem to be on policy discussion, seems like not just the sysops but everyone over there wants to weigh in and make sure that there's rules for every potential situation. I do miss this place sometimes but it of course isn't the same as it used to be, lots of the old crew have moved on and new people have stepped in, they might be just as awesome but I don't know them. OK enough captain obvious stuff, when are you going to upload a picture of an Xasxas256 for me Pansola!? :P --Xasxas256 03:53, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
I'm sure you have more experience with that wiki but on the few times I visit the recent changes is full of 75% guild pages and 24% user pages, I don't see how that can be considered more serious then here.--AlariSig 03:57, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Which is 90% user talk and 5% content, and 5% image.--Gigathrash sig Gìğá†ħŕášħ is hosting a beauty pagent! 03:59, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Maybe it just depends on what you've got on your watchlist as to what jumps out at you. It wasn't really intended as criticism leveled at this wiki it was just a comment. From my very brief revisiting of the 2 wikis there's far more policy discussion on the official wiki and because of that it seems like people over there take themselves more seriously. Also nobody here has told me yet if you guys are awesome, you're crazy that's all well and good but are you crazy-awesome!? :P --Xasxas256 04:10, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Guildwikis policies have been established and critiqued long before GWWs policies. I'm not saying its perfect but the discussion you speak of have taken place long ago. --AlariSig 04:13, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
That is a valid point but I don't remember this wiki's policies taking as long to hammer out. There's also a greater number of rules/examples in their policies. Finally it's seems fairly clear to me at least that there's such a large amount of policy discussion there because of the inherent differences between the two wikis, GWW is the official wiki and it's believed that it should be run as such whereas sysops here are given more leeway and room for interpretation in policy enforcing whereas on the GWW sysops are basically supposed to enforce rules with less interpretation. Again I'm not inferring that one system is better than the other others can be the judge of that. --Xasxas256 04:22, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

You're back?

Are you? Its nice to see the old hands coming back, like Gem and Pan! :D —HelloWarw/Wick 14:21, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

You need an archive, lol. Felix Omni Signature 14:22, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Is Gem really back? I should drop in and say hi, I'm not very good at staying in touch. I'm not sure if I'm back but the content filter at work is broken so I can actually get to this site at work at the moment which is nice. To be perfectly honest, I really don't remember either of you two but it's always nice to meet new people isn't it? --Xasxas256 14:39, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Auron sez I'm a visible editor. This shows it imo. :P. And yeah, its nice to meet new people. —HelloWarw/Wick 14:41, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
I don't remember you either so it's okay. Felix Omni Signature 14:42, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
You guys make me feel old. Auron is quite mad you know and he can't seem to stay in the once place for too long. Special:Editcount is a new feature I think, haven't seen that before but that's a lot of edits. Probably lots of new things I've missed around here -_- including missing your sysoption Felix Omni but I look forward to working with you. --Xasxas256 14:50, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
You've missed at least one bad thing: Wikia move. There should still be crum about it flying about somewhere, cba to look (just search for "5 minute load time" or something similar). Oh, and a bunch of new sysops have been promoted. And Entropy's Bcrat, in case you didnt know. --- Ohaider!-- (s)talkpage 15:00, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

do u remember me at least??? —JediRogue 15:50, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi Xas, great to see ya! Yeah, the wiki has changed a lot since we were active and the active user base has gone through big changes. I personally liked it better earlier, but I can manage with the current situation too since I'm not as active and commited as I once was. -- Gem (gem / talk) 19:59, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

I have no idea if I'm in your "wiki-era", but do you remember moi?--Marcopolo47 signature new (Talk) (Contr.) 20:17, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Heh of course I remember you Heather, actually I don't remember calling you by your RL name but I certainly remember you. I'm afraid I don't remember you Vipermagi :( but I certainly knew about the Wikia move. When I came back I noticed Entropy was a bcrat which was somewhat surprising (not that I don't consider her to be capable) it was just sad to see so few of the old crew around (and they're not really on the other wiki either). And I remember you too MP47, you're not that young! (GWiki age anyway :P)
Heya Gem, you know after you posted that video I actually started to write a long reply to you. I remember that the night before you posted it I was actually at a video games parlour and we were thinking about giving DDR a go (I've never tried it). I also remember I was going to ask you if there were some special machine dance shoes because everyone in the video had the same shoes! I kinda added bits and pieces to the reply but it took me so long to get back to you I just gave up or something, sorry mate. Still it's nice to know you're still around a bit! :) --Xasxas256 04:04, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
I'm going to assume you don't know me. >_> Thoughtful-new-sig Thoughtful 04:08, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Don't leave me out :P ... -- Isk8 Sk8 (T/C) 04:14, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
No problem at all. (Btw, the shoes aren't special machine dance shoes, we just got them and outh other clothes from companies to promote them.)
How's life for you nowdays? Iirc you were going to move to the UK, how did that plan act out? -- Gem (gem / talk) 10:44, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi Xas, I hope that content filter stays broken. I miss all the old folks. :p Entropy Sig (T/C) 04:23, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah things are very different around here now, it's less like a wiki and more like actual Guild Wars with all the chat spamming and cliquey low level drama :/ The content filter still allows me to get here but I haven't had much time at work to reply. But the real problem is that I haven't been around for so long I feel as though I need to take some time out to write/think up a meaningful reply so I keep putting it off until I have more time and blah blah. Nothing very exciting has happened to me in the last week although lunch today was chicken noodles, biscuits, cake and jelly beans which is a bit different. I was sick all of last week with a virus but on Friday I could have gone back to work but didn't; it was really nice just to hang out with a mate and drive around town though, have lunch at an old haunt, not have any pressures, I miss uni days sometimes (but I'm sure it's a grass is always greener thing). I still want to travel but I'm looking a little closer now, I'd like to do a month in Vietnam/Cambodia/Laos/Thailand although the rainy season is starting. Still I think it stays pretty warm it's just wetter, I should just hurry up and go! Hopefully I'll add more tonight but I'm knocking off work now ;) --Xasxas256 06:01, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

For You!

Nerd Xasxas is less nerdy than Fyren. But then again Xas probably knows less about CSS, Firefox, servers, wikis, Guild Wars and indoor lighting than him. We'll call it a draw.

. The cost is only 1 archive! :p —HelloWarw/Wick 20:10, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

That userbox looks familiar. Entropy Sig (T/C) 04:28, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
Unfortunately, you gave him the userbox before he gave you the archive. And that's not good business. *pulls trap door lever* Felix Omni Signature 04:31, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

do you have any idea

where Fyren went? Then again, you said you weren't that good at keeping in touch, but hey. — Nova Neo-NovaSmall(contribs) 22:07, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

I wish I knew where Fyren went, he was the man. I think Karlos used to speak to him a bit but I've lost touch with Karlos as well so I can't give you any info on Fyren :( --Xasxas256 06:01, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
He didn't go anywhere. He's still living where he always lived. Do you need anything from him, Nova? I talk to him rather regularly. Add me on steam, xas, and I'll hook you up with him again. -Auron 09:27, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Steam :( I didn't even know you could chat on steam! Don't you guys use something more accessable?!?!!! --Xasxas256 09:42, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
msn, aim, irc -Auron 09:48, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
pick one and i'll give you the info for it :p -Auron 10:01, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello

Just saying hi~ -Silk Weaker 03:09, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Maaaaaate! How are ya!? Still doing um...stuff? :P --Xasxas256 06:01, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

and a happy birthday to you. --- Ohaider!-- (s)talkpage 09:16, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
