This Page

I've learned that wikis are are pretty much a pack rat's heart's desire. As I understand it, pretty much anything that goes on a wiki stays on a wiki. Well, unless it's really nasty, in which case it's deleted. Now the content may be edited, or occasionally replaced, but if it's posted, it pretty much will live on. I am learning that you don't "tidy up" (I'm a compulsive tidy-uper) and delete things, you archive them. So... ta da! That's why I set up some archive pages. When a discussion appears to be complete, I will move those bits related to that particular discussion over to one of three pages, each intended for different purposes. This page is for things that don't fit into the Wiki Matters/Issues/Questions category, and aren't really related to community, either. This is for personal notes and so forth. Wiki members can post on these pages, too, in addition to the non-archive pages. I hope this works -- right now it's all about keeping my duckies in a row. :D --Gaile 21:56, 28 March 2007 (EDT)

Some people dont like you D:

If it gets deleted: (highlight :P){{delete|Obvious}} GAILE GRAY SUCKS BFDD =BIG FLOPPY DONKEY SLDJF I can't believe some people hate you like that, you seem very nice =( BLASTEDT 16:36, 15 March 2007 (EDT)

Some people just hate everything for anything. His solo build probably got nerfed, poor beings with no imagination. :/ -- (gem / talk) 16:42, 15 March 2007 (EDT)

Meh. It takes all kinds. Including the small-minded, the ungracious, and the kind who get jollies from such immature and puerile silliness. I'm a gamer with the best job in the world, with the best team making the best game ever. My role, in large part, is messenger. From time immemorial, people have had difficulty with the concept of messengers. (You know the whole "shoot the messenger" thing? Heck, did you see the first scene of 300!? That was some messenger removal, there! :) ) Anyway, I do what I do so that, in part, others can do their jobs more easily and with greater focus. If I need to ignore a few of the antisocial sorts while doing what I do, so be it. If it means continuing to talk to those who care--who outnumber the nasties by a thousand to one--while avoiding or declining to accept the bait of the unpleasant, it's no biggie at all. *shrug* --Gaile 17:03, 15 March 2007 (EDT)

Yeah, the role of the messenger is basically to keep the mob from the guys doing the work on the background. The sad side is attracting all the bad attention as you give the face to the organisation. A person needs to be able to ingore the negative stuff to be able to relax and work efficiently, and I think yo're doing great, Gaile. :) -- (gem / talk) 17:19, 15 March 2007 (EDT)

I'm with Gem on this one. Gotta let that stuff roll off ya Gaile and you do an extremely good job at it. Btw - Love the paw in your signoff.  :) --File:VallenIconwhitesmall.JPG Vallen Frostweaver 07:50, 16 March 2007 (EDT)

Hi Gaile, a big warm wave with two arms from Germany. ^.^ You are doing a great job so forget about such short brained trolls. Wish I could convince by husband to spend our next vacations around Seattle and not on the Eastcoast *sigh* so we could find out that we had both the same long read hair and that we love cats. *wave* --Eleonora 08:28, 19 March 2007 (EDT)

Guten Tag, Eleonora (what a lovely name!). Well, the East Coast is really nice. There is a lot of US history there; I especially love the Civil War battlefields. Of course, Germany has a long and fascinating history, and so our "few hundred years" of history will sort of pale by comparison and may seem like recent days. *lol* I must say, though, that Seattle is a very nice place to visit. Perhaps you can suggest a trip here another time! :) --Gaile 21:35, 19 March 2007 (EDT)

Gaile's right. The east coast has a rich history. 10 minutes away from me is The Bentonville Battlegrounds and a lot of other historic parks and landmarks. Very relaxing and inspiring. Downside, a mile down the road is where the cable company stops service, so those people either have DSL or dial-up. *shivers at the word dial-up* :D — Gares 23:21, 19 March 2007 (EDT)

Good morning dears :) Seattle is still a "white" mark on our travel map, hopefully we can correct this in the nearest future. We have been to Oregon (Crater Lake), Yellestone (and I'm happy having seen it before the big blast comes -.-) These were the farest north points in the states. Last year it was the area around Chicago On the other side, of course there is a must to see (at least for cat lovers) the Hemingway Museum at Key West! --Eleonora 04:11, 20 March 2007 (EDT)

If I could only name one place where I would want to spend the rest of my life, it would be Key West. I'll be honest and say I have never made it to the Hemingway Museum in the three times I have been there. Out of all the places in that area, it beats the Bahamas, Jamaica, and most of the Carribean Islands. Give me a beach there, a cigar, a cold beer, and a straw hat. Then just stare out into the horizon, especially at sunset when the sun seems to melt into the sparkling water of the vast ocean. The bars aren't too shabby either. My friends and I could not stay away from Fat Tuesday's drinks, nor could we find our way back to our place after we left. ;) — Gares 10:58, 20 March 2007 (EDT)

Bone Dragon you're looking for

Hey Gaile :) I got a miniature Bone Dragon, saw you were looking for one. Whisp me in-game: Ion Bloodskilled (for example) or respond here. I'll be glad if I can help :) ----InfestedHydralisk 13:51, 21 March 2007 (EDT)

ah man when do I get an answer? =( ----InfestedHydralisk 18:50, 22 March 2007 (EDT)

I've been amassing my fortune, Inf. :) I have but a single ecto, I believe; Koss and Melonni are conspiring to take every single drop. ;) But I do have some gold so I'll get in touch. --Gaile 00:02, 23 March 2007 (EDT)

Ooooooh, you wanted to buy one, sorry, I thought you wanted to take pics or something >_< ----InfestedHydralisk 10:37, 23 March 2007 (EDT)

Just a guess...but I think if she wanted a pic of one, she'd probably have access to someone who could get it.  ;) VladTheEmailer 16:48, 23 March 2007 (EDT)

Oh, yes, I've seen the screenshots and witnessed the little guys in town. That's why I'm going to be shopping for one. :) --Gaile 17:43, 23 March 2007 (EDT)

Ah well, I'll continue giving a show off when I'm with guildies/alliance people, mwahahah >;D ----InfestedHydralisk 18:02, 23 March 2007 (EDT)

Good read

I was browsing GuildWiki when I came upon this. Could you possibly consider many of these suggestions? It's an excellent list. --Chiaro 13:46, 24 March 2007 (EDT)

Well, that list isn't much compared to this one. It's my compilation of all of the suggestion lists on the GuildWiki, plus it includes a lot of stuff from fan forums. I'm sure Gaile will tell about these to someone if she sees it as necessary. -- (gem / talk) 17:27, 24 March 2007 (EDT)

Gem, that induvidual storage suggest of yours, looks annoying to me.

Like you just got a nice weapon for a other character you have, it won't help by putting it in storage so your other character would get it (for example).

Increased storage is better then induvidual, in my sight :) ----InfestedHydralisk 19:10, 24 March 2007 (EDT)

It is just a compilation. Feel free to discuss the stuff on the talk page. -- (gem / talk) 20:35, 24 March 2007 (EDT)

I have a feeling that many of the changes (such as hair/size/age) will be introduced into GW2, It would throw out much of the "appearance" of GW1, I do agree that we need more storage space asap, I have 4/9 as mules :( -- Scourge 20:48, 24 March 2007 (EDT)

Personally I think there should be a "dev update" channel on chat (which could be turned off like other chat channels) so we can get Gaile news & Frog talk no matter where we are in the game. Of course the die hard Gaile fans will flock to see our favorite Purple wearing ANet Ranger to give her 250 Eye of Newt & 17 Shard of Awesomeness (hint: Shard of Awesomeness should be in GW2, it's awesome! :)). --Jamie 20:58, 24 March 2007 (EDT)

Looking for a Miniature Prince Rurik?

Well, unless you're big into earning the money for your things by yourself, I have one you can have, free of charge. Best to focus your money on getting the Bone Dragon. :) I was just going to pawn it off to somebody in Kaineng Center anyways. I'd much rather you take it, Gaile, for many reasons. Above all, more than once you've answered my questions in the cities whilst you had no obligation to do so.

If you want him, drop me a line. My IGN is Myrai Tamara. I'm on an unhealthily large amount, so that shouldn't be a problem. Marin Alacet 23:42, 28 March 2007 (EDT)

That's extraodinarily kind of you, Marin. I would love to have the little guy! I would feel sort of funny accepting him as a gift, though, so let's see if I have something to trade. *rifles through bags* *finds a half-eaten piece of fruitcake, a yellow dye, a set of 2-4 daggers, and two dust bunnies* :) No, just kidding. I might have something trade-worthy. If my computer stops being twitchy, I'll be playing this weekend, and I'll message you. Thanks so much -- this will be great! --Gaile 00:58, 29 March 2007 (EDT)

Hey Gaile! Just wanted to say thanks for answering our questions in Kamadan. With all the people giving you stuff, you must be almost to your Bone Dragon by now. I'm shocked nobody tried to give you a Bone Dragon itself (or did they?) Hope you enjoy the Mini Prince Rurik =)

Though I do have one question that you never managed to answer (not that I blame you, not at all! With all that massive spamming, I couldn't see it myself). Is there any chance we could see an update to the Canthan Targe pre-order item? Most of the pre-order items are max, and this only have 14 armor, making it a little weak. Marin Alacet 19:36, 31 March 2007 (EDT)

It was great to see you too, and thank you sincerely for the Prince Rurik mini. I'm going to dig through my other inventories and see if I can locate some daggers. In the meantime, are there any minis you need? I got a couple of duplicates (what with all the chars and all the birthdays) and maybe one of them would be a good return gift.

The preorder items from the initial offering -- that is, the ones for Prophecies -- haven't gotten an upgrade, it's true. I can ask the design team about whether they have plans to upgrade them in the future. I know the changes that you see in the next generations are due to player requests. But whether the designers would want to go back and amend those items (and yes, I know some things are amended from time to time) is a matter about which I cannot be sure. If I get more info, I'll be sure to provide it. Thanks again! --Gaile 19:46, 31 March 2007 (EDT)

There are a quite few miniatures I would like, but I already know you don't have any of them =) Though I wouldn't mind a Miniature Burning Titan, or a Miniature Jade Armor if you have duplicates of either of them. Also, thanks for the update on the Targe. Even if it doesn't get done, I'm glad it was at least heard. And if it does, that's an extra 2 armor for my Legendary Defender of Ascalon character =) (I think I use smilies more than you.) Marin Alacet 19:58, 31 March 2007 (EDT)

You know what? Just take the Rurik as a gift. Forget about giving me anything back. You're nice enough to put up with the spammers and the people with Chronic Capslock Syndrome for 3 or 4 hours. I figure you deserve it. My only requirement is that you keep your wishlist up to date so that I can buy you a birthday present =) That might be a little hard though, what with the people swarming around you trying to give you stuff.

On the topic of your visits, I don't think I'd ever be able to do what you do. Having to quickly sift through the spam and already answered questions to listen to what we say. I tried my best to answer what I knew, and it was way too hard (though it was neat seeing "Are you a GM too?" over and over again.) I look forward to your next visit to Kamadan, and will of course be there Marin Alacet 19:06, 1 April 2007 (EDT)

Where are my manners? Thanks so much for the little Rurik. He's a kick, strutting around with his glowing sword. :) Definitely one of my favourites. Thanks again, it was really nice of you to share this guy! --Gaile 00:17, 6 April 2007 (EDT)

Multiple accounts

How...many exactly do you have? 5? 15? 30?! :P--Chiaro 19:13, 30 March 2007 (EDT)

I think maybe 9 or 11. I have a bunch in North America, one or two in Europe, and one each in the other territories, too. (I don't think I have one in China yet; I'll have to see about getting one.) Not all of my accounts have a full set of characters. But then, some of them have 10 or 12 characters on the account. I've never done a roll-call -- that might be sort of interesting. :) --Gaile 02:23, 31 March 2007 (EDT)

Ever add up all the hours you've played across all your accounts? That might also be interesting :) Marin Alacet 13:01, 31 March 2007 (EDT)

I wish I had so many accounts I couldn't count them all. *hint, hint* BLASTEDT 19:43, 31 March 2007 (EDT)

Gaile if you need any help on the American servers with all those I'll be glad to help you just message me. My IGN is Dragon of Osiris.Stamo88 01:38, 4 April 2007 (EDT)

I wanna help Gaile too :D IGN X Jstn X ...id love to help Also in the American Servers

(Reforming indent) I can't believe this. You can't actually think that she'd give out her personal account info. She'd have bumloads of spam in no time. I'm sorry, but I don't think she will contact you. She has to have some level of secrecy of her accounts. - Drago 14:12, 19 April 2007 (EDT)

I don't believe them either. BLASTEDT 14:56, 19 April 2007 (EDT)

he is right tough she recieves the mission xp.
