What's your vendetta?
Have I slighted you, somehow? I apologize, if I have. &mdash; Raine Valen    5:17, 15 Feb 2011 (UTC)
 * Raine, my opposition to your bureaucracy campaign, and indeed your sysophood here, is not in any way personal. I'm sure you resent my perpetual naysaying, and I wish I could pick on someone that I don't usually get along with, but it's been my position that you are and have been unfit for administrative tools on this wiki, and I can't pull my punches because we have fun together off the wiki. Or rather, I could, but I think it would be doing a disservice to us both. [[Image:User_Felix_Omni_Signature.png]]elix Omni 05:29, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
 * It's not that you're naysaying, really; it's rather that you appear to be digging for reasons to naysay: the term "witch hunt" comes to mind. I may be wrong, but I feel that there's a distinct lack of objectivity in your opposition, and I don't believe that you're of the sort that clings to beliefs without reevaluating them.  Am I wrong in that?  &mdash;  Raine Valen  [[Image:User_Raine_R.gif|19px]]  14:33, 15 Feb 2011 (UTC)
 * I've been constantly reevaluating. Your performance has not improved since you first gained sysop tools, and now you want to be a maverick bureaucrat too. This is not good. As for objectivity, what do I have to be butthurt about? [[Image:User_Felix_Omni_Signature.png]]elix Omni 15:46, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I disagree with that, as stated on the election talk page. As for butthurt, I really don't know, which is why I'm asking.  &mdash;  Raine Valen  [[Image:User_Raine_R.gif|19px]]  18:30, 15 Feb 2011 (UTC)
 * Then we can safely say there is no butthurt, we simply have opposing views. Of course, the difference is that my view is correct. [[Image:User_Felix_Omni_Signature.png]]elix Omni 18:32, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

 * TA was terrible. Every battle was exactly the same. Magebane ranger, Corrupt/Wail necro, Devhammer/Magehunter warrior, WoH monk. It was SO BORING. Codex is definitely better, it's just got some weird issues with skill choices. Mesmers, the class with the most elite skills that can shut down an entire team alone, get 5 elites to choose from every day. Warriors, who absolutely need their elites to form a coherent build, get 3 elites a day, usually in Strength or Tactics. Dervishes get Wounding Strike every day, and Monks MIGHT get condition removal. Assassins get dual attacks maybe half the time, and whenever Assault Enchantments is one of their elites they can't even use it.

 * What is it that makes 4v4 so much more broken that 8v8? Is it kinda like having a single HDD instead of a Raid 0? →[ » Halogod User Halogod35 Sig.png  (talk)« ]← 02:16, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
 * It's a lack of redundancy. There are a lot of skills that can essentially take an enemy out of the equation, in particular knockdowns and disables. In 8v8 when one of your healers is knock-locked the other can still respond to a spike, and you might have a few other defenses around too. In 4v4, if your healer is knock-locked, your healer is dead. [[Image:User_Felix_Omni_Signature.png]]elix Omni 02:20, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

 * I didn't play when HA was 6v6, but my general impression was that 6v6 was a viable format. Perhaps if TA were 6v6, it'd be better. For some reason people don't seem to like bringing two monks to a 4v4 area, where everyone else is building to shut down one monk, so... -- Armond Warblade[[Image:User Armond sig image.png]] 08:12, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Taking two monks means not taking enough damage and utility to shut down the opposing monk. At best you'll draw after a long boring battle; at worst they'll get a lucky spike and then you lose a long boring battle. [[Image:User_Felix_Omni_Signature.png]]elix Omni 08:42, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Don't talk about monk meta in 4v4 & 6v6 if you didn't play in them ^___^ Look back through the archives on PvX. 2 Monk backlines were the standard for 6v6 in tombs and there were PLENTY of full heal/2 healer builds in various TA metas that were VERY effective.--Satele Shan 02:51, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Re: GWW:Block
By virtue of the fact that it shows up in the wiki's predictive search under your name, I came across, GWW:BLOCK, which is one of the best written policy statements I've seen on less-than-massive wikis. Well done, sir. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 03:15, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

 * To be honest, I'm having trouble parsing what I wrote. What I meant was this:


 * If your block was in error and you really want to get back to editing, you'll do the obvious thing and contact a sysop (probably the blocking sysop). You'll do this whether it's what policy recommends or not. If the block was in error this message is enough to fix it in 99% of cases. Therefore, having a block appeals process doesn't help this case.


 * However, establishing a block appeals process gives trolls yet another way to disrupt by invoking a potentially time-consuming process every time they get what's coming to them. In this case a block appeals process harms.


 * Since in the best case a block appeals process does no good and in the worst case a block appeals process harms, I oppose having a block appeals process.


 * That said, the wording as it is on GWW:BLOCK currently is fine by me. It borders on too-obvious-to-state, but it's well-written and succinct and probably does no harm. It's certainly not a 6-step rigorous process with templates and categories that I feared at the time.

Re: My Concern
Valid concerns. I'm glad you articulated them. Offended by your humor? No. Disappointed in your poor judgment. It took credibility away from you when you said you were legitimately concerned. I should just leave it be, but hopefully you’re mature enough to handle it. I have to say your attempt at applying the thought at Matthew 7:1-5 was terrible. You're enrolled at a Catholic University aren't you? Read 1 Corinthians 6:12, and instead of reacting immediately, ask yourself if you even have to. Also, thanks for fixing my page.

 * What is this all about? You do this and that and then you complain that you're a victim? Quit being a hypocrite.
 * And if you're going to say the first instance was because of my Midol comment, I'll admit I should've expressed myself better, but the point of that post was for you to take it down a notch. Raging at Aiiane just made you look foolish.
 * Finally, this is utter nonsense. Comment on a person’s comment rather than the person. While that's true most of the time, you have to question a person's motives occasionally to get to the bottom of why his comments are what they are. Thus, I stated facts. Your subjective view that it was criticism was silly. Sardaukar  [[Image:User_Sardaukar_sig.png]] 05:31, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

No nukes? Nukes? What's the Straight Dope on Nukalar safety?
Straight Dope on Nukalar Safety. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 20:39, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I think it's a pretty common misconception that nuclear power plants can go up in a mushroom cloud and wipe out the surrounding city. I think the best way to get safe power is to put up a bunch of solar cells in space and have them e-mail the electricity to us. [[Image:User_Felix_Omni_Signature.png]]elix Omni 20:48, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * After a Nuke in West Virginia had leaked something into the air. Husband was working at the Coal one near by up there at the time. They had informed people up there to stay inside, etc. Yet, he at the other plant didn't know. He didn't know there was a Nuke near by. Hearing about some things from within them, he won't work at one. I remember, I was preg. and worried. He checks on some places that he doesn't know - on nukes, etc. first before heading to one. There are a few around here, but they're monitored by tva, Environmental people, etc. So, if something happens - there's steps done. I do know the schools near them do drills and have places to go. It's a scary though, but anything can happen at a nuke plant. Coal powered plants are actually less "serious" in the way of not having to worry about something that could do serious damage, unlike nukes. Kaisha  User Kaisha Sig.png 21:17, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Modern Nuclear fission plants are incredibly safe. The reactor in Japan that was in the news recently? That was 40 odd years old (I think, not sure on exact, but it was old). Modern facilities have minimal chance of going critical with all the systems in place, even if they do there's that many fail safes in place that there's even less chance of it going Chernobyl. On-top of that, (though I imagine this depends on your country) generally there's a minimum distance plants have to be built away from civilisation.
 * Not to mention they're incredibly efficient and green (they emit steam...that's it (and the left over waste, but turns out that can be used to make HDDs (potentially))  ~ PheNaxKian talk  22:17, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the Fukushima Daiichi reactors were GE's Mark 1 model, which is severely outdated and not nearly as safe as modern plants. Unfortunately there are still about 40 plants worldwide using the same outdated reactors. (Number from BBC News or NPR, whichever I was listening to the other night.) [[Image:User_Felix_Omni_Signature.png]]elix Omni 22:19, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * The other thing worth noting was that reactor was hit by a tsunami after being hit by a strong earthquake. That's just shit luck to be honest.  ~ PheNaxKian talk  22:39, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, the earthquake was actually nothing. The plants in Japan were built to withstand earthquakes up to 8.something. Even with the 9.0 earthquake everything was under control. The plants shut down automatically and stopped the chain reactions. It's just that the facility wasn't ready for the tsunami that came then. poke | talk 23:00, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * After the disaster, a series of investigations revealed that Fuku plant staff were woefully unprepared for disasters on a large scale, and their response to the disaster sucked ass too. Heck, the Japanese nuclear advisor resigned in tears because the government basically ignored him. Despite huge problems such as those, the overall environmental and public damage done by the disaster was not nearly as large as people expected from a nuclear meltdown. I find that really reassuring, although I still wouldn't like to live next to a nuke plant. [[Image:User_Felix_Omni_Signature.png]]elix Omni 00:06, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm by no means saying I'd want to live next to a nuclear plant, but if one was to be built in the region, or I move near (not next to) one, I wouldn't be too fussed.  ~ PheNaxKian talk  00:50, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Were my husband a coal miner I would be worried about black lung, not nuclear meltdowns. -- Briar  User Briar Sig 3.jpg  The Spider  09:35, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Haha. They have several different kinds of masks now. Not any sold in any stores, but made by 3m. Easy to wear under Hoods, etc. So, yea less deaths from that than there use to be, but coal mining still isn't safe, it's worse than welding at plants, but hey at least it's a job that still is here and one to never have to really worry about ever loosing. Same with power plant ones as you've got to keep the current ones still patched up to keep them going until the "wind power" (which is decided upon by state, etc.) takes over, if it ever does. President can only say what he'd like to happen, but that's not completely on him as one(state, etc.) has gotta look at their power, etc. and see what's best for them to do. It's also why there's not a lot of wind power up yet and a few new coal powered power plants are being built (at least two). Kaisha  User Kaisha Sig.png 19:06, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Fusion reactors have the potential to generate much larger quantities of power than solar/wind farms and avoid many of the environmental issues those alternative energy sources entail (large usage of space and danger to airborn wildlife).

 * See that's a common misconception. A fusion plant can't "go critical" and run out of control like a Fission plant can. If there was ever a "melt down" at a fusion plant, the plasma would just decay into a harmless )albeit incredibly hot) gas of deuterium and tritium.--TahiriVeila 00:18, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Some build new plants to replace old and that's better on the workers, dealing with clean metal, etc. It's not caused any job loss yet and doubtfully will.

Aiiane // becoming desensitized
I hope you know me well enough to understand I'm not bringing your character, motivation or actions into question (hell, bringing anything into question, for that matter). That said, if one simply looks at the talk page of her B'crat Election, your signature is to be found pretty frequently, to say the least. Without reading a single comment, and not necessarily even looking for the F in your signature, I scrolled down the page. I was aware I saw that file quite a lot. All I'm saying is, when one person repeatedly finds issues with the election of someone and brings them to light... after a few, it can begin to look like more of a vendetta. Personally, I think your points have merit, and I consider your concern to be more than reasonable. This edit in particular suggested a fair approach and genuine concern, as opposed to going out of one's way to find problems.

Your perspective is one I hold in very high esteem, however the more one uses anything, the less effective it is. Sadly, our voice is the same as anything. Everytime one finds a new issue with a particular candidate, the significance of it is lessened slightly. I think you might make of an impact by actively trying to avoid appearing to be kicking her when she's down. Remember that appearances can be deceiving, and that they can suggest things not true. As things currently stand, there are literally double the number of signatures under Oppose as there are under Support. It's a good opportunity to step back a bit, and reflect on the impression you may be giving off, even though said impression is neither intentional nor appropriate.

You've done absolutely nothing wrong. I don't consider you biased; but I am concerned others may come to a different conclusion. That's what this message is about. Not that you're editing for the wrong reasons [you're not], but that others may come to think you are. I don't consider you a friend [it's not like we know each other], but I'd like to have you as one. Putting aside how far from the mark I may have gone, this edit is written with the best of intentions. A F K  When   Needed  13:03, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I appreciate your concern, AFK. I haven't said anything about Aiiane since the 17th, though. The election is going well, and I'd like to think I contributed to that effect, so I don't regret my actions. [[Image:User_Felix_Omni_Signature.png]]elix Omni 19:04, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
 * It was as much of a "for next time" message as anything; iirc Raine took your opposition to her personally as well. Although that's not something I've looked at recently at all, so I may well be unaware of relevant information there.
 * It's something I never noticed over on GuildWiki. User A F K When Needed Signature Icon.png A F K   When   Needed  10:21, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Raine attempted to paint my opposition as personal in an attempt to discredit my arguments. It didn't work. [[Image:User_Felix_Omni_Signature.png]]elix Omni 16:02, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

deciding the winner
Deciding the winner is scheduled for the whole of today. Your header of "just a few hours late" is misleading in that respect, as it's not late in any way. --mendel 05:53, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
 * It doesn't take 24 hrs to tally the vote Mendel. And he did post it 3.5 hrs past midnight UTC. I don't see an issue worth mentioning here. -- Wyn [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon2.png|19px ]] talk  06:00, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry mendel, I forgot about your e-mail again. I will definitely look for it today. [[Image:User_Felix_Omni_Signature.png]]elix Omni 14:55, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
