Hi there :o) --Shadowphoenix 01:32, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Sigh at talk page ninjas. Calor 01:34, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

ninja'd - Y0_ich_halt 13:04, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

This is why I don't archive all my talk at once :P -- Brains12 \ Talk 15:39, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Aww, I missed being the first to post here :( — ク Eloc 貢 05:35, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Luckily. Calor 18:31, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

I dont archive all my talk either, lol. --Shadowphoenix 18:46, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

User:Raptors

Who the heck is this person??? (damn my curiosity) --Shadowphoenix 20:50, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

He's an infamous troll who talked his way around the admins loads of times. Just look through his contributions. Calor 20:55, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

So he was banned for a year, wow.... I read the enitire aberation and I think it was a good choice. I am just wondering if u caught all of his IPs lol --Shadowphoenix 21:19, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

i still think raptors is actually a nice guy. it's a shame he decided to make an arbcom case his goal. - Y0_ich_halt 19:20, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Lol @ Calor (again) ;)

Are u ok calor, are u on flu meds 2? lol --Shadowphoenix 19:10, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm so out of it this weekend. Tomorrow I'll be back, have my head straight, and be able to feel my hands. Small note: 37 degrees Fahrenheit is NOT shorts/t-shirt temperature. Calor 20:29, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Neither is rain and gusty wind. -- Brains12 \ Talk 20:52, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Thought you meant Celcius... that comment doesn't really make sense anyway. -- Brains12 \ Talk 20:52, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Heh. Any post I've made in the past 36 hours is likely from a cold, sleep-deprived, half-deranged for of me. Disregard almost all of those comments. Calor 20:59, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Well that edit was on 27th February anyway, so no excuse for you :P (get better soon though, I need someone to banter with) -- Brains12 \ Talk 21:06, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Will do. 1715 UTC/GMT. Talk then :D Calor 02:04, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Your userpage

Your userpage looks cooler on FF, but why does all teh text look so ugly :P --Shadowphoenix 21:16, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

hm? i think it looks nice... - Y0_ich_halt 21:17, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

no all the text in general --Shadowphoenix 21:21, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

hmm... that's a point, there. some of the text does look nicer in ie. but that's about the only good thing about it. - Y0_ich_halt 21:34, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

-.- ......... -.- ....... >.< --Shadowphoenix 21:46, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

*throws a batch of cookies at Y0* -.- --Shadowphoenix 21:46, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

...That's a LIE! There is nothing better about IE. It does not look better because it lacks mammal. MiraLantis 21:49, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

KEKSE! ;) - Y0_ich_halt 21:52, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Probably just the font. I've taken a liking to Narkisim, though that will probably change when I get bored and redesign my page. Calor 23:34, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

it's not only the font-face you used for your page. text looks nicer everywhere in ie. at least with an LCD monitor. - Y0_ich_halt 13:30, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Not sure why, but for me it seems to be a different font on Firefox and Internet Explorer? --Kakarot 13:47, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Sysop

I am really thinking about starting another RfA for you, I don't understand why you have not been promoted yet :P. --Shadowphoenix 02:43, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

because we don't need more sysops. - Y0_ich_halt 11:26, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

honestly, I don't think we ahve enough :P --Shadowphoenix 13:52, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

most people seem to feel different... - Y0_ich_halt 14:00, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

It's not because we don't need any more sysops - otherwise Galil, me and Tanetris probably wouldn't have been promoted - but because some people disagreed with Calor being a sysop. It's up to Calor if he wants another RfA, but I think you should get his opinion before nominating him. -- Brains12 \ Talk 14:46, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

>.> - Y0_ich_halt 14:56, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the offer, Shadowphoenix, but no. Not at this point in time, at least. The last RfA helped me realize what I was doing wrong, and I don't think I've... matured, for lack of a better term, on the wiki enough. Calor 14:58, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

(edit conflict) When there is an RfA open, people don't vote dependant on if another sysop is needed. That maybe applies when nominating one, but not when there is an active RfA.. Atm it is - imo - that we don't need more sysops. It's not that there is too much work, and I don't think there is a sysop who does too much. - Of course every sysop is welcome, even if we don't need them, it is not a problem to have more sysops than needed; so when there is a good person for that job, just start the nomination! poke | talk 15:05, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

If I were u poke I would check GWW:RFA someone has been nominated :o) --Shadowphoenix 15:08, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) Thanks Poke :). I think things will be all calm and well for the next four months or so, then GW2 will start becoming part of our daily lives (which means no once-a-day GW2W RC checking). Then the sysops will effectively have close to double the work to deal with. Maybe I'll consider an RfA then, when more sysops are truly needed, assuming they are, but not before then. Calor 15:09, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Eh, that was more directed to Brains text ;) poke | talk 15:10, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Poke puts in more than two cents: Likely a good, logical comment :) Calor 15:12, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

In-game

→ moved from HELP:GAME

thx alot. ehy do u play this game?

Of course :) Calor 15:31, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

i know we arnt supose to start conversations on the FAQ screen but whats ur name?on the game i mean.

Heh, Killing The Killers. I'll move the later part of this to my talk page. Calor 15:37, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey. i saw alos u were a kurz. wich 1 is better? kurz or lux?or is it just pik 1?

Both have their advantages. Just pick one, you'll be fine either way. Calor 15:50, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

actually... it doesn't matter at all o.O though, the story part in luxon territory is easier imo. - Y0_ich_halt

Ugh, but I hate that one Turtle mission so much. The Hatchery I think. I found protecting trees easier. --People of Antioch talk 15:52, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

yup, but finding a half-decent group for arborstone is just as hard, and bots don't work there at all because of the environment. in gyala, you can at least cheat so it's workable with bots :P - Y0_ich_halt 15:55, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

"FOR THR TREES!" "PWNZ THE AFFLICTED!" --Shadowphoenix 15:56, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

I managed to hench it. Plain hench it with my sin. I didn't get masters, but I got through it. --People of Antioch talk 15:58, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

I did it with a sin, me (necro), a warrior and some heros :P --Shadowphoenix 15:59, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

i've finished the whole campaign henchway (not masters everytime, though). >.> - Y0_ich_halt 19:39, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Support

Thanks again Calor for the vote of confidence in my RfA. I know what it's like to be evaluated by the community, and it feels good for me. I've realized what is missing, and I'll work hard to try to capture new goals set for myself. --People of Antioch talk 17:18, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Heh, no problem :). Everyone has their flaws, and their assets, and all I did was evaluate them and decide the assets slightly outweighed the flaws. Calor 18:53, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi there

Just saying hello. - THARKUN 20:26, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Why hello there, dear friend. How are you today? Calor 20:29, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

reverse indenting ftw! - Y0_ich_halt 20:30, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) I'm splendid, but my original message before the EC with y0 was lamenting the fact that my paper doesn't have news on him. I think I might hop over to the library and see if any of the German newspapers have a story on him.. - THARKUN 20:31, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

(Reset indent) Go away, Y0! :P poke | talk 20:34, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

(Reset indent) *waves* -- Brains12 \ Talk 20:35, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

(Reset indent) why are you indenting so far, Brains? Cut that out. - THARKUN 20:37, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

(Reset indent) Maybe you should do the same, Tharkun. Calor 20:38, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't know what I'm doing with my strange indents. I'll try to be more consistent now. - THARKUN 20:39, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Then indent where it should go. Calor 20:40, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Indenting where it should go is gay. — ク Eloc 貢 03:14, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Way to break the page, Eloc. (though I was wondering what would happen if someone did that...) - THARKUN 08:28, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, now you know :P — ク Eloc 貢 15:23, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Don't break the page. -- Brains12 \ Talk 15:37, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Ok Brains! — ク Eloc 貢 15:49, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Elections

A few quick questions before the elections get here (I am going to try to ask each sysop and users, who imo deserve it, these questions):

1. If you were nominated would you accept?
   
2. If so, Do you believe that you would make a good bcrat?
   
3. Would you be able to make wise choices when it comes to selecting administrators?
   
4. Would you be sure to explain your actions when using your powers as a bcrat?
   
5. Would you wear you status as a bcrat as a badge?
   
6. Would you consider policy before taking any and all actions?
   
7. How do feel towards our wikis community?
   

That should be enough. Thanks! --Shadowphoenix 21:41, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Very interesting questions.

1. At this point in time, I would decline any nomination.
2. I wish I could say yes, but no.
3. Probably, but I feel others are more familiar with the community and would be able to make more informed and safer decisions.
4. Yes, because I usually plan out my actions and have reasons for most things I do (at least when it isn't 2 AM :P).
5. No, because extra user rights isn't supposed to be used any sort of "trump card", and I'm not that cocky and arrogant.
6. Yes, for major decisions. Some actions are so simple and can easily be fixed, or are no-brainer decisions that I feel I wouldn't need to consult policy to back my decision.
7. I feel the "elite" users of our community are a bit stiff, and could relax a bit, and that the active but not "elite" users (for lack of other differentiating terms) are laid-back but serious enough to be a healthy core for the wiki. Together, they get a lot done and gel fairly well together (Everyone has their arguments at times).

Thanks for the questions, they've helped me step back and see what I think of our wiki. Calor 00:02, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

about 6.: no-brainser? - Y0_ich_halt 18:03, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Personality

/agree, that is soooooooo your wiki personality :o) --Shadowphoenix 02:00, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Heh, I was stuck between two or three last night, and thought nothing of it until I saw it again in RC today. Calor 02:10, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Vandal

The little whippersnapper got me, is it me or are vandals getting smartererer lol --Shadowphoenix 22:10, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

You ec'ed me the first time, and I almost made an identical mistake. No problem, and thanks for the good intentions :P Calor 22:10, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

When I first started rving vandals they did one thing then moved on, but lately they ahve been doing that + another edit to block teh revert :P; its really annoying lol --Shadowphoenix 22:13, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Vandals are human, it's all in the preference, I suppose. Some are absolute idiots, while others are clever. Calor 22:14, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Got a new template for vandals, here if you wanna use it is {{subst:User:Shadowphoenix/Vandal| }} --Shadowphoenix 22:20, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks :). I'll keep it in mind for appropriate situations. Calor 22:24, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
