Crate of Fireworks.png

Could you get one without the white background plz? — Seru Talk 21:00, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Done, give the cache an hour or so for it to work properly though. And let me know if you find any other icons missing a transparent background :) --Lemming 21:04, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Thx much. You should borrow a few of my userboxes — Seru Talk 22:49, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Mursaat Elementalist Polymock Piece.png

Needs to get an icon. — Seru Talk 18:23, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Yah I know, but I have never owned one to get it into my Dat file. If you know anyone with one please let me know. I have been looking in towns whenever I am there to see if anyone is selling. --Lemming 20:31, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

If I find one can you tell me how to get it out of the Dat — Seru Talk 20:39, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

You need a datextractor programme. --Lemming 20:41, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Like? — Seru Talk 01:05, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

This one [1] works for me. --Lemming 01:54, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

I'll have to try this out o.O and there are a few more Kyrtan NPCs that need to get added to your list. here and here. — Seru Talk 01:58, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Which models do those two look like? --Lemming 02:24, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

They're in this pic — Seru Talk 02:30, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Ok i can look at all of it but how to do i look for stuff exactly? do i just guess or what? — Seru Talk 03:09, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

And i just thought of something. I have the original CE cd so what if i install that and look at that dat? think i could get a mudbrick out of it? — Seru Talk 04:25, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Dunno about the mudbrick, worth a try though. You literally have to go through it though and see what you find as the files are not labelled. Usually stuff you have just seen is towards the end of it though. --Lemming 11:00, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Yeah all i found was the original maps and a bunch of the textures not any inventory icons that i could see. I did find a — Seru Talk 14:54, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Why no FIRSTing?

FIRST. In other news, I am bored. -- NUKLEAR IIV 20:30, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

No firsting on my talk page, it is a pointless exercise in irritation. --Lemming 20:34, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

common armors

This shows all the common armor icons (the tagged ones at least). About half of them have grey backgrounds. — Seru Talk 20:01, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

As I recall that is how they are in the dat file. but I could be wrong. --Lemming 20:51, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Idk is there a way to get rid of that cause its really noticeable :\ — Seru Talk 20:55, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Yeh it can probably be done manually, smurf is pro at things like that. --Lemming 20:59, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

New renders

I think we should get a render of a rabbit next =P — Seru Talk 21:56, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Aye, unfortunately I don't decide what Emily uploads next :) --Lemming 21:58, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

To her wiki page! — Seru Talk 22:00, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you very much for your support on my RfA. I hope I can live up to everyone's expectations. Honestly, I was surprised by the overwhelming support I received. -- Wyn 07:28, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

No problem, I am sure you will do great. And stop sending me emails!!! hehe, it's funny getting auction emails from you all the time ;) --Lemming 20:38, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Drama level

Should be updated imo ;) poke | talk 15:23, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Very true! --Lemming 15:27, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Need another level for if Ursan gets unnerfed hahaha like that would ever happen. — Seru Talk 15:39, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

O yeah and could i ask you to either add or allow me to add a size parameter to your template?— Seru Talk 15:46, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Sure go for it. --Lemming 16:16, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

User:Seru/drama woot its now a userbox — Seru Talk 16:25, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Where is this wiki war? --Wolf 20:12, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

GWWT:CP. Calor 20:48, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

There is a reason I stay out of the policy pages >.< --Wolf 20:55, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

It's not a policy page... Calor 21:25, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Phailz for me. Well, w/e you wanna call em, but pages that involve discussion some of the more basic functions of the wiki and and hwo things operate and such. If I was nominated to run for a bureaucrat position, I would pass it up. --Wolf 21:28, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

I would rather be a sysop, i can't deal with reading those extremely long comments. — Seru Talk 21:43, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

I would actualy pass-up sysop too. I dont spend enough time on the wiki for me being one to make a difference. --Wolf 21:48, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

nobodys would votes for me >_< — Seru Talk 21:50, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

(Reset indent) I was just going to start a topic and noticed this one. Oh phew, I narrowly avoided a GWW Etiquette Breach! Anyway, I was sort of wondering how often you update that drama graph... drameter? And then I pondered, "When Lemming updates, does the little user box also update for those who spot it on their pages?" Anyway, it's a cute idea, although I think maybe another level -- Much Gnashing of Teeth Has Ensued -- might be warranted. But that's just because I seldom get to use "gnash" and "ensued" in everyday conversation. ;) -- Gaile 03:30, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Yes i made it so the userbox updates as Lemming updates his meter. All Lemming has to do is changes a number from to 1 2 3 or 4 and it updates everywhere. — Seru Talk 03:57, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Yeh I update it fairly regularly :) --Lemming 10:46, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

New Raptors

User:Shard That guy really could be the new raptors. Change to level 4 drama? lol — Seru Talk 04:32, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Disagree. Shard, unlike raptors, does not seek mindless drama.

He is more of a class-hole, if you will. :D -- NUKLEAR IIV 09:19, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Shard is nowhere near where Raptors was at.. — ク Eloc 貢 00:48, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

No. Shard is relatively sane, and wouldn't hit the level of Raptors. Calor 00:49, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Sanity is an illusion. --Wolf 00:55, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

drama level 4

Can we move the drama level up to 4. Along with all you other things listed we also have massive uprisings again the Nerfs. I think it's reached lvl4 :\ — Seru Talk 21:29, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

I don't think we are there yet. Level 4 is for "Oh shit, raptors is back!" times only (even though other frecuent visitors of the block log would qualify also). We are just in an after-update rage-trolling period that will die soon anyways.--Fighterdoken 21:33, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

3.5 then? lol — Seru Talk 21:34, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Maybe Raptors being back needs to be level 5, and this should be level 4? --Wolf 21:35, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Lol I stole the pics of the scale so it would be tricky to add in an additional level ;) I just got back from being away for a week so I have no idea what is going on right now drama-wise. Someone care to summarise? --Lemming 21:43, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Rats. Ok, erase my suggestion above. *sniff* -- Gaile 03:32, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

1. Elections still
2. The new update

• Uber nerf on Smiter's Boon where it was taken out of game.
• Killed Hero MMs and some other hero builds

3. Community Portal stuff still.
4.People using the wiki like a forum
5. massive backlash from the updates this week.
Im sure there is more— Seru Talk 21:50, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Level four should, imo, be "IT'S RAINING LLAMAS!" -- Armond Warblade 13:19, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

When does his ban expire, anyway? Or is he gone forever? Calor 22:15, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Or "Lemming bomb activated" (somebody remembers Lemmings the game? :P) poke | talk 16:05, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

My sister always called it fireworks. She was.. 3 years old? - anja 16:36, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

There should be a level 5 where the thermometer has the top busted off :D — Seru Talk 16:40, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Raptors isn't back, so therefore it can't reach lvl 4. — ク Eloc 貢 20:40, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

check the ban log. I think he back in December — Seru Talk 22:26, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

It's August right now though. And Raptors doesn't even play Guild Wars anymore. — ク Eloc 貢 01:03, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

You guys take this farrrr to seriously :p --Lemming 16:21, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Drama meter iz srs bizness Lemming Bot #64... *reprograms Lemming to make another level on his drama meter* --Shadowphoenix 18:53, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Anything wiki is srsbzns =D --Wolf 21:59, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Maybe Level 1. Peaceful, 2. Tense, 3. Hostile 4. High amount of arguing. 5. Wiki War? Dominator Matrix 17:22, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

He said were free to adjust it! Im putting it at level 4 :D If anyone doesnt agree say so lol — Seru Talk 18:41, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

FYI it doesn't have to literally mean raptors is back, is is more of a metaphor. --Lemming 21:03, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Actually I think it is time to put it back on level 2... poke | talk 16:24, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

yeh, there aren't that much drama around. --Cursed Angel 16:45, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

I'll agree with that. Elections are almost over and there doesn't see to be too much rwarr — Seru Talk 18:52, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Layout

Hey Lemming! I love your work on the wiki and as a sysop. Good job!

Anyway, i was wondering if you would let me use your layout on my page and if so, help me with it. Please? --Burning Freebies 20:54, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Well it isn't my layout really, I borrowed it from User:Emily Diehl in the first instance, lol. You can use if you like, though it is quite complicated though and hard to explain how it works if you can't figure it out from the code that is there. --Lemming 23:21, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

or i could make you a page similar to mine. You can have as many circle section as you want in it. Idk if you have as many subpage as Lemming does. — Seru Talk 23:30, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

mah just steal lemmings code :D i didnt like how it looked in my sandbox — Seru Talk 23:53, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Im playing around with it in my sandbox and im working out how it works. Thanks to everyone here for trying to help.--Burning Freebies 10:48, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Links

Add this to handy links you should :D — Seru Talk 23:58, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

But I don't like userboxes :p --Lemming 02:31, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

but but but you have to like userboxes :D — Seru Talk 02:59, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

It's a sin amongst us to not like user boxes ^.~ =D --Wolf 03:23, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Contests

Hey Lemming, can I ask why some of the contests are disambiguated with the year in brackets, e.g. Design-a-Weapon (2007), and some just have the year as part of the full title, e.g. Wintersday Art Contest 2007? Guild Wars Wiki:Formatting/Article names#Disambiguation identifiers says "takes the form of a suffix in parentheses (generally in lowercase) after the basic name," so they should be in those brackets, unless I'm missing something (and I probably am). Thanks -- Brains12 \ talk 20:45, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

I think you got the point in that they are all different, I did start correcting a few earlier but didn't have time to fix them all, basically different people created them with no set format at the time which is why they vary. I probably did a few moves in the wrong direction though, feel free to correct them as the formatting guide suggests, I would do it now but I have to get some kip before work tomorrow. --Lemming 23:33, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Guild Wars 2 Suggestions

Greetings!

I'm writing a canned message of sorts to a select handful of Guild Wars Wiki users whom I believe share a similar passion of mine: exchanging new concepts and ideas for Guild Wars. I chose you by simply jotting down names that showed up frequently in the discussion of the GW2 Suggestion Pages here on the Wiki. If you have no interest in the matter or feel that I'm imposing upon you, I will thank you for your time; please disregard/delete this message. If, however, you do have a creative streak and enjoy sharing your ideas with the hopes that they'll some day be adopted into the game you love, then read on!

I like to think that, on occasion, I have have a good idea. And when it's concerning something I'm very passionate about (like Guild Wars) I tend to go all-out. When Guild Wars 2 was announced back in March of 2007, I was very excited! Here was an opportunity to get some of the features I've really been wanting to see in an MMO integrated into one of my favorite games! The question was, how could I get the developers to actually pay attention to any of my ideas? In my naivety, I began posting them on “Guild Wars 2 Suggestion” topics on several forums of popular GW community sites, only to realize that, as more and more suggestions were posted, my posts became buried. I never got the feedback I desired (were any of my ideas even good?), and I could only assume that ArenaNet would have a slim chance of coming across them in all the drivel and flaming that accompanies forum topics.

Disheartened, but not defeated, I decided that I (and many other creative minds) needed a place where they could post their ideas without them being buried... where other players could easily vote on them, and post suggestions of their own! Thus, I created a site called NikiWiki. Unfortunately, either due to my requests for fansitedom going through the wrong channels, or a lack of understanding on ArenaNet's part, NikiWiki never really took off. At around that time ArenaNet set up a “receptacle” for posting Guild Wars 2 suggestions here on the Guild Wars Wiki. But I saw this as only a tiny step up from posting in forums. How does anyone know what new ideas really matter to the players?

So I've decided to take another stab.

I'll spare you any further ramblings, and introduce you to the Guild Wars Feedback Community. All I'm asking is that you take a few moments of your time and visit the site. Create an account if you wish – everything is free, there is no spam, etc... there aren't even any advertisements on the site. I do all this simply out of my love of the game, and a selfish desire to see Guild Wars 2 become the ultimate MMO!

The GWFC is not perfect by far, please understand that it's currently in beta. I hope that with some input from like minded individuals, this site can become a valuable resource for the developers at ArenaNet and folks like you and I who need a creative outlet. Feel free to criticize (constructively or not), make suggestions of your own, or brow-beat me in any way you feel necessary. I've set up a topic for GWFC site feedback you can use, but feel free to write to me on my Wiki discussion page, or holler at me in-game. Thank you for all of your time, and I hope to see you on the Feedback Community site!

Sincerely,

--Brokunn 03:26, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

I don't think I have ever posted on a GW2 suggestion page really, not with any suggestions anyhow. Thanks for the information though. --Lemming 18:53, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Semi-protected pages

Saw you categorising some pages in the protection categories - just a note that there are better ways to see and sort the protected pages at Special:Protectedpages and Special:Protectedtitles. It was discussed at Guild Wars Wiki talk:Admin noticeboard/Archive 3#Protecting nonexistent pages, and the outcome was that we should go to the Special pages instead if that was the better option. No one seems to have gotten around to removing the current categories though :P... I'll do that later today. -- Brains12 \ talk 16:01, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

The categories have their uses though, it makes it easier for regular users to identify protected pages they are actually on, and request deprotection in lieu of a template notification at the top of a page itself. It also helps distinguish temporarily protected pages to deprotect them. But if we want to just use the special pages I don't mind. --Lemming 16:14, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

They will notice the page being protected when they try to edit it :P And if they don't want to edit it there is also no reason to request unprotection.

So what about putting some more information about unprotection-requests on the protected-notice page? poke | talk 16:25, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

That sounds like a good solution Poke. I definitely think we need to let "lay-man" users know somewhere how to request deprotection, if they think it is required. --Lemming 16:28, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

One thing I don't like about having categories for protected pages is that some users will mistakenly think that by simply adding their page to such a category, their page will get protected. Or for other users who simply think it's "fun" to add their page to such a category. -- ab.er.rant 02:06, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

So, stop using the categories and add more info to the protection notice? -- Brains12 \ talk 17:22, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, I don't mind the categories, I'm just irked at the users who use those categories wrongly :) but anyway, yea, better protection notice would be preferable to categories. -- ab.er.rant 09:29, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

so...

i herd you leik mudkipz? --Uchiha Lena 05:43, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Weapon models template

Yeah, my reply is quite late, but some time ago i made this template for the Weapon models project, and i just noticed you proposed to move it to the template namespace on the template talk. I wasn't sure whether it's ok to create templates for this purpose in the "template mainspace", therefore i placed it in my userspace... Do you think it's still reasonable to change it? —ZerphaThe Improver 07:48, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Yeh it should be fine. I mean it is a template for a GWW project, not just some user project so I don't see why anyone would object. --Lemming 10:34, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Question

For the Notorious Foes, how come you are using a Tarnished Coast sign rather than a Far Shiverpeaks sign? --Riddle 12:24, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

because they are the same? --83.67.144.140 18:43, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Ah, didn't realize it was part of a project. --Riddle 22:47, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
