Animations
Um, it may have changed, but it was my understanding that those animations would (eventually) be added to the default infobox so you wouldn't have to edit every single skill to add the animation. --JonTheMon 18:13, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
 * hmm i dont think so, when i upload it, i then check the page & add the link, nothing there is automated i dont think. I'd check the template &mdash;  Scythe  18:15, 5 Aug 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, it does add the link automatically. click the clock at the top if it's not showing up in the infobox. --JonTheMon 18:16, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
 * 0.o awesome thx for the heads up, ill try that :) &mdash; Scythe  18:19, 5 Aug 2010 (UTC)

On the same topic, but slightly different discussion. Can you please use a different background color? The animations are impossible to see. -~=Ϛρѧякγ  (τѧιк)  18:24, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
 * check ur monitor's colors then, red on black is veryvisible (could always use white armor & dags if you would perfer) plz answer before i record the next 1. &mdash;  Scythe  18:28, 5 Aug 2010 (UTC)
 * Most of the assassin animations have black components, which are completely invisible. :( -~=Ϛρѧякγ User Sparky, the Tainted guided sig.png (τѧιк)  05:57, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
 * really? The only ones i've noted are the dancing daggers / cipping dag / disrupting dag style things, where you "throw" a dagger at the target. &mdash;  Scythe  17:32, 6 Aug 2010 (UTC)
 * Mayhaps you could upload some with default or white backgrounds for comparison? --JonTheMon 19:14, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
 * i can do default, white i can only do if kuld uploads a texmod for white everything, but sure, Default, pick a skill that you think would be a good example. &mdash; Scythe  19:16, 6 Aug 2010 (UTC)
 * How about impale and mantis touch? --JonTheMon 19:18, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure. btw, check RC, the latest ones are in white armor + dags, which is better? &mdash; Scythe  19:19, 6 Aug 2010 (UTC)
 * [[File:Mantis Touch animation2.gif]] i see what you mean about the black, impale is no different, however green = 20% larger files. &mdash;  Scythe  19:32, 6 Aug 2010 (UTC)
 * Why have you left out the top part of the animation (I think there's something above the character's head that's been chopped off)? -- pling User Pling sig.png 19:36, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
 * On the black Mantis Touch I so didn't notice the black circle. And I'm not a fan of the grass sticking up. are there any dummies away from tall grass? --JonTheMon 19:41, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
 * @ pling to conserve filesize, its the same as every other deadly arts "above head" animation btw pling, why do you nitpick everything i do? im curious.
 * @Jon ill check, not sure, this is just the dummy the project page says to use ;\ &mdash; Scythe  19:43, 6 Aug 2010 (UTC)
 * I think it would be best to include all parts of the animation. If I nitpick, it's only to improve something (which is why we're all here), not because I have something against you personally. -- pling User Pling sig.png 19:54, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, make sure you don't cut off the casting symbol. I think the white armored char looks better if you're using a black background. I know at least every shadow step uses a black cloud animation, so you might check into those first. The ideal background would probably be 50% grey, but you should use the default (at least, for the animations with black) until you can get a grey bg. -~=Ϛρѧякγ  (τѧιк)  19:53, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
 * but i dont wanna redo 25 animations :( &mdash; Scythe  19:57, 6 Aug 2010 (UTC)
 * That's fine, just do the rest of them without cutting off the top, then go back and redo the first ones later if you have free time. [[Image:User_Felix_Omni_Signature.png]]elix Omni 20:16, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

NHS
Just curious, what all do you have to do at your school as an NHS member, in the way of attending meetings and events? And what was the application process like? I think at my alma mater both were a bit extraordinary compared to most schools. elix Omni 18:03, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
 * well, im not going to lie to you, we are only ~250 people. But ill give you the basics.  Have a GPA that dosnt drop below a 95, attend a meeting every week, and do 20hrs of community service per school year, alongside attending 7 "group activities" (of which there are usually 8 or 9) a group activity is simply organized by your chapter leader.  Hope this helps &mdash;  Scythe  18:06, 6 Aug 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm. At my school, the requirement for admission was a high GPA, I forget what exactly. Maybe above a 3 on the 4-point scale. But the admission process was ridiculous. You had to write an essay and get two letters of recommendation, and then the head of the chapter would ask every single teacher who'd had each student for their thoughts on that particular student. Apparently enough of my teachers raised objections that I was barred from entry. I was, in fact, the only student that had ever happened to. Pretty funny. [[Image:User_Felix_Omni_Signature.png]]elix Omni 18:28, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
 * we have the whole essay, letters, interrogation questioning inquiry stage as well, i just did it in the 6th grade (3 yrs ago) kinda forgot about it ;\ &mdash;  Scythe  18:35, 6 Aug 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh what. Only juniors and seniors were in the NHS at my school. [[Image:User_Felix_Omni_Signature.png]]elix Omni 18:37, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
 * 0.o we had the NJHS (junior society) in 6th -> 8th, freshmen + you can be added to NHS, which i was. They just say "you still pass, congrats" with that glazed over look in their eyes &mdash;  Scythe  18:39, 6 Aug 2010 (UTC)
 * My grade school was part of that trend back in the 90's to eliminate honors and advanced groups because they made the average kids feel dumb. I spent 10 years in hell. [[Image:User_Felix_Omni_Signature.png]]elix Omni 18:48, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Auron
Ok, regarding your reasons for RfC: --JonTheMon 13:48, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) You keep on bringing that up, and it's still not relevant. And it is something that might be a negative for an admin; Wyn is just the archetype
 * 2) A hostile response to someone trolling, verified trolling by #3
 * 3) Again, verified by subsequent edits by other GWfanatic users
 * 4) Seems like it needs more looking into/clarification to the casual user.
 * Really scythe, I thought you said you were going to stop on why's talk page. You really should just stop just as you said would. --Lania  [[Image:User Lania Elderfire pinkribbon.jpg]] 16:31, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
 * i did "stop" im not bringing it up anymore, doesn't mean i cant expand my vote. also, mind if i make your signature transparent background? white is ugly. &mdash;  Scythe  17:33, 27 Aug 2010 (UTC)

this moved very, very fast... pushing "this" = what epic trollfest that my RfR vote has created, and subsequent trolling / me losing respect from some ppl. Felix, i meant that if misery is a horse, makes u a donkey, and ur a guy (i think O.O) = male donkey = jackass = less 2 type. cant believe how much drama that comment made ;o &mdash; Scythe  16:33, 31 Aug 2010 (UTC)

 * Right you would be, sir... if I had in fact typed (reset indent) . But what I actually typed was, which copies the template's text directly onto the page. This both reduces server load by not transcluding and reduces the damage done if some madman were to vandalize our formatting templates.

Stop with what you're doing, I can tell you it's going to end badly. Reaper of Scythes ** 22:04, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
 * D: i have a right to using the AN, dont i? Other than that im not doing anything remotely "wrong".  Tagging KJ's image is perfectly legal, considering it flaunting one's powers and attacking me.  Plus, if i get Perma'd, i wont particularly care, in the last month the wiki has really declined. I lied, first half is a lie but second is sad but true.  Spose i really need to get back to skill animations, or better yet, do my homework that i've been putting off for like 5hrs.  &mdash;  Scythe  22:08, 2 Sep 2010 (UTC)

Hey
I just wanted to say sorry if I came across as offensive. If I had a better day I can assure you I would have made sure that my comments were less aggressive. I just personally disagree with pretty much all the current drama and responded rather harshly. Sorry again, and I'll stay off your back. However please take the advice above and try to tone down what you're doing. The whole thing is going rather OTT. <font color="Black">Shadow <font color="Red">Runner  22:12, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
 * np, its just... you always replying first to, well everything i said for like an hour negatively came across as rather stalker-like harassment 0.O.  I actually (granted im bias, but still...) find that what i've done today has been nothing but trying to "snuff the flames of drama and personal attacks", while raising 2 (or was it 3?) valid points that got trolled by the bandwagon.  Which is getting rather old "scythe said something quick guys rip on it!!!" :( &mdash;  Scythe  22:17, 2 Sep 2010 (UTC)

A Word of Advice
I've done my fair share working to change the way things work around here. I've even done my fair share of what could easily be designated as rabble-rousing (see, for example, my first bid for bureaucratship way back when I first joined this site, well before most folks around here had ever heard of me). You'll notice, however, that while my actions back then (as well as some of my subsequent actions) caused a fair bit of drama, I've never been banned. Moreover, since then, a lot of the things that I wanted to change have changed, I'm currently a sysop, and I used to be a bureaucrat.

With that said, you're quite simply engaging in folly. While I respect the fact that you genuinely think that what you're advocating is correct/that you're doing the right thing--and heck, maybe you're right, maybe there's some objective sense in which the wiki would be better off if Auron wasn't an administrator--the manner in which you gone about trying to convince people, dare I say it, your abrasive manner of communication, has you headed toward a permanent ban. And what have you accomplished? Little or nothing. Persisting in the face of trolling is one thing; repeating the same tired mantra in the face of reasoned (not to mention overwhelming) opposition is quite another.

You want to bring attention to an issue that you perceive; fine. However, if in the process of bringing that issue to the attention of the community, you cause that community to lose respect for you--or if you never did much to earn that respect in the first place--you're going to be treated as little better than a troll. Like I said, I've done a bit of rabble-rousing myself, but there's a difference between the two of us: I may cause drama, but my argumentation remains measured and rational, even in the face of opposition and even when I care about the subject matter a great deal. Whether or not you're being trolled, the fact remains that your own actions have left you more or less without an ounce of credibility, so please, do yourself a favor and either drop it or find a new way to go about pursuing your agenda. &mdash; Defiant Elements   +talk
 * Oh, and if it wasn't already clear from my previous statement, the fact that your intentions are good isn't going to prevent you from being permabanned forever. And no, that's not a threat; it's an observation.  &mdash;  Defiant Elements   +talk  23:43, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Essentially any song lyrics are under copyright of the author of those lyrics. The author can of course release their copyright, but 99%+ of any music that you buy (whatever format CD, MP3, etc...) will not be able to be posted here. --Rainith 01:41, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
