I see you have image links on your user page for your characters - before you upload them, please see [1] for user image policy, particularly naming. Images should be named "User_Elveh_xxxx". Shotmonkey 11:59, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

I know, it's one of the reasons why I've not added any pictures yet. I need to sort them out first, then rename them... I usually don't have the time. For now, it's just a bunch of dead links that are waiting to be replaced by something that a) works and b) is named properly. -- Elveh 15:26, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Just change the name at uploading. Make the code, and then upload following the red link.reanor 15:06, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

I'll do it for you. Hope you won't mind.reanor 15:07, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Done. I also fixed you armor links :Dreanor 15:19, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

ZOMG Linguists FTW! :D

Yay, I just read that you're a linguist, too! I say we hatch an evil plan to take over the world! May the formants be with us! Kokuou 08:27, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

i be very afraid --Cursed Angel 23:52, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Linguists can't take over the world.reanor 04:03, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Sure we can. In fact, I already have. I've been the world's sovereign for years. Unfortunately, the world is rather insubordinate and refuses to acknowledge me. Then again, that's just a minor detail. ;) -- Elveh 09:42, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Because it was off topic...

I've already linked you as a credit line [Seen here], and it works fine. Eventually I'll figure out how to use the pronunciation thing but otherwise, I'd like to thank you for the template and the many other people the template was probably inspired by. Vanguard16:43, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Haha, no problem. The pronunciation key is just something I've added for a laugh, because I'm a linguist and I'm odd that way. Well, I really just added because I thought it'd be nice to give people an idea of how to pronounce the names of my characters. I wish more people were familiar with the IPA (English), if only so they could teach me how to pronounce the names of their characters. It's a nerdy thing, though, so if you'd rather have a template without pronunciation key, I can help you set it up. :) -- Elveh 16:48, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

The most I can do is like, my character Jolei, I can be all "Joh-lie" but not those funky letters and mess you see in the dictionary pronunciation mess. Vanguard16:59, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

It's a linguist's thing, like I said. It's very convenient if you're into phonetics, but for most people it might as well be Greek. I remember my first Phonetics lecture quite clearly- I felt quite scared at the thought that I'd have to learn all those symbols and their corresponding sounds by heart! If you feel up to the challenge of learning the IPA that would be cool, but I can totally see why you'd just want to stick to a more simplified version of a pronunciation guide. :) -- Elveh 17:04, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

I don't mind the thing on the template, it'll just have to be an extra thing. I don't feel like going back to reset all the info again after plugging in a template over it. Vanguard17:08, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

I can imagine, it's very time-consuming. I'm planning on creating a second template with different shadings per profession, and I'm not looking forward to it. It's something I want to do to get the colours just the way I want them, but I know it's going to take ages to complete. -_-* -- Elveh 17:12, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

It's funny how when you first take linguistics, you're afraid you're never going to memorize them all, but eventually they become second nature to you (well, at least the ones used in English, anyway). I actually have shirts with IPA on them, and people think they're another language. :D Kokuou 20:06, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

/agree. Having mastered IPA, I couldn't think of a better, more logical way of explaining pronunciation than by using something as universal as the IPA. :) -- Elveh 21:16, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

:)

Your ele page is broken - it refers to character tables instead of character table. FYI ;) Ale_Jrb (talk)

It should, I'm working on a new template. Thanks for mentioning it though. :) -- Elv 23:45, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

BTW just a suggestion, I think your GuildWiki picture is much better than the one you have here.reanor 00:20, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

You mean the one of me dressed up as a Mesmer? :) -- Elv 00:55, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

That one.reanor 01:32, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

But I look so moody in it! xD -- Elv 01:46, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

It's just my opinion, make a motion if you want to.reanor 02:03, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Hope its ok if I jump in. I think both pics are nice but if I had to choose, I'd pick one here. Anyway noticed tabs on the side. Mind if I *ahem* steal ur coding? Credit will be given, naturally. Barinthus 08:07, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Haha, I'll make a 'vote for your favourite Elv pic' page and let popular demand decide. [coughs]

As for stealing coding- go right ahead, I don't mind. I've stolen other people's coding myself often enough, and I'm glad that people like mine enough to steal mine. :) -- Elv 08:53, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I like this picture, Elvy. -- Alyrrae 17:18, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Uploaded a screenie of me taken today on cam. Yay for keeping pics recent and up to date? xD -- Elv 21:41, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Signature

If you wish to use the image for a Mursaat Token as your sig, you need to reupload your own version of it, and redirect it to your user or user talk page. More info can be found on Guild Wars Wiki:Sign your comments#Images. -- br12 • (talk) • 17:51, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

No problem, changed in a blink. :) -- Elv 18:11, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

hey elvy

Hi its Kagome, I hope this message works :P -- KStarviper 01:26, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Template

Hello, I am new to wiki and was wondering if I could use your template for my user page? If the answer is no thats fine. Johnny 03:10, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Of course you can use my template, I really don't see why not. :) -- Elv 09:40, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Thankyou, I put your name in my credits section. :D Johnny 11:35, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Userpage

Your userpage looks real weird.. it like stretches way to the left.. ^Teo^ 19:55, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

It doesn't seem to work properly in all browsers, nor with all resolutions. I need to give it a makeover some time but I'm just too busy right now. :) -- Elv 20:26, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

hmm.. ok. :p ^Teo^ 20:47, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello

Just browsing, can't even remember how I got to your page, part of that is because I enjoyed it so much and spent a long time here :D . I really loved the descriptions you gave to your characters, it's something I've been meaning to do for mine but never got around to (considering I only just got around to making my userpage after intending to do it months ago might give you a clue how slow I am at adding stuff ;) ). Anyway, I deviate, great work on your page(s) and thank you for making my visit so enjoyable. Draco 06:52, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm glad that you enjoyed your stay, it's always good to hear that someone appreciated the work you put into your pages. Do let me know when yours are entirely presentable, and I'll definitely have a good look around. :) -- Elv 07:55, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Heya Elv :)

Heya, i hope you're fine. Just to tell you i've used your vanquish template tables cause they are very useful and well made. I put your name in the bottom of the page where i used them. Take care. Davor Belegnaur 09:12, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

To be perfectly fair, I stole the general concept from Gem. All I really did was take out the mapping bits, and make my own ticks (which I see you're not even using). So while I made the modifications to create the table you ended up nabbing, I think it's only fair to credit Gem as well. :)

I am in fact fine, thank you, and thanks for dropping a line. :) -- Elv 11:52, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

I added Gem in the credits too and good to see you arround :) Davor Belegnaur 12:11, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Happy Birthday ^^

Happy Birthday!!!! Arty 12:17, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Old but

It says Verbal abuse now, not inappropriate language. I win.--Ohnoes 04:21, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Inappropriate language and verbal abuse usually go hand in hand. People who deserve to be banned will get banned anyway. Do I even know who the hell you are? -- Elv 06:55, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

This Page....

....has not been edited in too long. Anyway, can I come to your corner? Mine is currently full of... other people... — Jon Lupen 21:21, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Sure, my corner's always open, and the coffee supply is limitless. :) -- Elv 21:45, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Would you happen to have a tea supply? Coffee really isn't my thing. — Jon Lupen 21:50, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I can arrange that, but you'll have to be careful to stay out of Ward Against Tea, just in case. -- Elv 23:33, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm a patient man, I'll wait it out. :) — Jon Lupen 15:45, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Great! I've had to import some tea from a distant region of Cantha, but I'm told it is of exquisite quality. I'd try it myself, but it would make me melt almost as surely as water does the Wicked Witch of the West. ;) -- Elv 15:54, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

As long as you don't melt, I think everything will be fine. — Jon Lupen 04:24, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, the whole melting business is so messy and unbecoming... :D -- Elv 04:34, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

And extremely inconvenient. There are some things you just can't do as a puddle of goo. — Jon Lupen 16:07, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

That, and it would totally stain my new Mesmer armour. I'd never hear the end of it! -- Elv 16:28, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Which makes me wonder.... Perhaps the Ooze melted at some point, ya know? — Jon Lupen 16:39, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Which in turn makes me wonder... how much heat could an Ooze withstand before it becomes a little cloud of gas? -- Elv 16:51, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Atleast 212F, upwards of 400F. What are you proposing? — Jon Lupen 17:06, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm thinking we either need a good blast, or hijack an oil refinery and use their ovens... in the name of science, of course. >.> -- Elv 17:16, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

We need a container with a very high heat tolerance. Say, you wouldn't happen to have any iron oxide on hand, would you? aluminium is easy to come by. In the name of science of course. — Jon Lupen 17:45, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, should be doable. I know a guy who knows a guy... and I have enough contacts in Big Oil to get the ovens, too... all for the good of science. Of course. -- Elv 18:20, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Ok, that's good. I don't think Hank would take kindly to us using his blast furnaces for this. Now I just need some magnesium for the fuse. I have a propane torch on hand, but that would heat the thermite too evenly, the last thing we need is an explosion. One cannot study the effects of an experiment when there are no results left to study after all. — Jon Lupen 18:26, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Hmmm, magnesium... yeah, I think I have a guy for that too. The beauty of my business is that hazmats are easily obtained. Anything else we'll need to add to the groceries list? -- Elv 18:51, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Water-proof containers, long, large tongs, and a way to capture oozes. — Jon Lupen 19:34, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Check, check, annnnnd check. Good old buckets. <3 -- Elv 20:03, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

(Reset indent) Now that we have our supplies, we need a method. How are going going to capture ooze? — Jon Lupen 15:30, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, good point. We'll need to figure out how we can lure the Ooze into buckets. I wonder what they feed on? -- Elv 16:46, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Hmmm, I have a contact or two that would know, but they can't be reached at the moment. Trial and error would take too long and be too dangerous. Any ideas? — Jon Lupen 16:59, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, let's see... Ooze are sticky and (alledgedly) sweet. Whatever their diet, it must be rich with sugar I think. Maybe we could try Birthday Cupcakes? -- Elv 17:13, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

I've returned after dropping off the face of the earth for a weekend to say we need something with a stronger scent to use for bait. — Jon Lupen 16:12, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

As long as you had fun at the underside of the earth that's fine. Maybe we could try it with a Jar of Honey? Or is that too, uhm, oozy? >.> -- Elv 17:42, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

It might be oozy enough! We shall investigate, in the name of science! — Jon Lupen 04:48, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Now all we need to do is build the trap... I don't suppose just outside the Ooze Pit would be too risky? -- Elv 10:58, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Outside the ooze pits won't be a problem as long as we have a monk or two. Know any? All of my monk contacts are currently engaged, something about a massive sea monster putting holes in boats and the like. — Jon Lupen 16:46, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

I know a few monks, but they're otherwise occupied. Something about impending doom and the end of the world? I suppose I could monk myself but no guarantees... >.> -- Elv 23:56, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Isn't there always the threat of impending doom? I think you'll have to give monking a shot. If we play it safe and smart, we should be fine. — Jon Lupen 05:50, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

^ This is true. And I suppose it's not scary if it can't hit you... - Elv 09:57, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

I know right? I'm more worried about these guys guarding the gate though. What's a good way to distract Charr? I don't think we have the man-power to take them face to face. — Jon Lupen 16:09, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Catnip? :) -- Elv 19:43, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Oooooooh, that just might work! I have to pry my supply from my cat first but, I have a plan! *runs off* — Jon Lupen 23:57, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Oh, win. I'll get some more coffee and tea ready while I wait... :D -- Elv 17:52, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Ok, I had to bribe a friend with 50k, but he'll keep the Charr off our backs as long as we need. Meet up with Vael tomorrow at noon. If you can't find him, he will find you. I'll either be at the gates or deep in the pits already. Keep an eye out for puddles and dripping ceilings once your inside the caves. We'll set up shop near the entrance. Transporting Ooze a long distance is not advisable, as they may become unstable and explode on us mid trip. I came across some crates that will keep them stable the rest of the way, but they are big and hard to carry. I'll fill you in on the rest once we meet up tomorrow. Remember, the only way to deal with a mantid is to kill it. Godspeed. — Jon Lupen 14:53, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
