Blood Count

Your old names contributions — Seru Talk 01:32, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Hehe thanks, wow my white blood cells are low! xD -- WoB 01:33, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Too many userspace dougnuts. Need to eat some mainpage veggies. — Seru Talk 01:34, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. They say veggies are good for you(me). Well I'm about to log-in so if you want to do anything give me a wak, I'll help out w/ anything. -- WoB 01:35, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Some random dude and the argument made by my friend, Wolf.

is not NPA. NPA was created so as to make discussions and arguments flow instead of come to a standstill. 75.182.89.73 04:28, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Its not a NPA its not directed at someone, its just formed in a heated manner. Dominator Matrix 04:29, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Ah ok, I wasn't too sure as to post it or not. Sorry Mr. Ip but just so you know...it is good to register since you're a contributer of the wiki. -- WoB

Don't try to get me to register. I contribute anonymously for a reason, and I'm not going to let people try to tell me in their ignorance that my edits are less important because they have an IP address attached. The entire point of a wiki is that everyone can edit it without logging in; I already see enough crap on Wikipedia - the place where that whole thing started - about IP editors being treated like garbage, and as there's no need for it there, there's no need for it here either. 75.182.89.73 04:34, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Umm... that's not what I meant but w/e.-- WoB 04:35, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) His contributions hold the same weight as any other registered user. Just because you contribute, doesn't mean you have to register at all; kind of the whole point behind a wiki. Just FYI. :) Kokuou 04:36, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

I'd say his word sare garbage regardless of registered or not. From what I've seen of you, you have nothing positive to contribute. — Wolf 04:39, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Don't be bad. 75.182.89.73 04:45, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Son, you want some respect around here, and the benifit of the doubt, you have to earn it, and so far, you've made NO progress. — Wolf 04:46, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

I don't really give a damn what kind of respect I get, nor whether I get the benefit of the doubt. I care about being right, and for that, I don't need you or anyone else to drag me down.

Don't try to patronize me unless you at least know the issue at hand, boy. Either way, it won't work.

75.182.89.73 04:48, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Please, not on my talk page, I've had enough with this whole thing. -- WoB 04:49, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Thats cool. ^^ — Wolf 04:51, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

xD, glad you understand. -- WoB 04:52, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

X-Fire

You should download it and add me: greatdarkwolf. Suprised? You shouldn;t be. If anyone else wants to catch me on x-fire, feel free. — Wolf 23:32, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Sure thing. -- WoB 23:33, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

You should also set it to auto log-in on start-up so you dont forget to log in XD Tools/options then under startup, halfway down. Unless you don't want to of course.... — Wolf 03:42, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Sure, let me log in.....my computer takes a while to connect, something about "I may be a victim of hardware counterfieght" I bought this XP last week too! -- WoB 03:46, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

You uprading from vista? XD — Wolf 03:47, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Hellz yehz...I heard XP is the best lmao. -- WoB 04:06, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Vista aint all bad, sure it eats you ram like it have nom nom nom writen on it, but other than that.... I juts jump at the chance to rag on it =D — Wolf 04:09, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Haha, still I believe Window's XP is alot safer for certain files -- WoB 04:56, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Vista eats ram in a good way. Unused ram is wasted ram. So it stores frequently used applications in memory for faster use. So its a good kind of hog...I guess. Vista>XP when you get a NEW computer. Dominator Matrix 06:57, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

I heard it's best to have a computer with XP first because Vista will leave some of that system memory...like favorites and internet options. Is that true? -- WoB 13:27, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

If your reading this, you should jump back on x-fire for a min. — Wolf 06:25, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Anyone want to help us?

IC

It might not last and it might last, you never know! -- WoB 00:56, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

It might be better to look at the Images needed and Images to update projects. I know the Images needed project has HUGE lists of images that are needed. I'm not trying to dismiss your idea, I'm just saying there isn't so much a need for yet another image project as a need to complete those already established. -- Wyn 01:04, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

I see what you mean. Well at least the project didn't start yet =D. -- WoB 03:39, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

I have an idea...why not merge them into one unified project? Sort of like the German Translation force...should be the international translation force.....german isn't the only language around here. -- WoB 04:07, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Because they were established separately by different people. I think their goals are similar, but not the same. -- Wyn 04:10, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps. -- WoB 04:51, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

I think Wyn is right, there's no point in having three image projects. If you want to get involved, sign up for one (or both) of the projects she suggested. Besides, "Image Cleanupers" sounds.. odd :P — Why 06:42, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

=P -- WoB 13:27, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Halloween page

I REALLY like your halloween page! Great job! -- Wyn 01:06, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank's Wyn and visa versa as well. -- WoB 03:40, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Good job :). Seems everyone is in the Halloween mood ^^. Dominator Matrix 03:43, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Not Target! They already have Christmas stuff up! -- WoB 03:47, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

omg.... — Wolf 03:48, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Tell me about it, right? -- WoB 03:53, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

*cough* *cough*

Before you steal borrow other users templates/userpage parts please at least ask them first. — Seru Talk 02:30, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Unless they have already stated that anyone can use it? — Wolf 02:32, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Yeah but i don't have that listed anywhere. — Seru Talk 02:36, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, I had a small feeling you where about to come afer me for my user page XD — Wolf 02:38, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

No im pretty sure you asked Wyn so its fine and she loves handing out her standard template :D — Seru Talk 02:48, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

I think the sense of ownership here really needs to chill... for one thing, this is all GFDL, while credits are a nicety, they aren't required on page design. Look at it this way Seru, imitation is the highest form of flattery there is. -- Wyn 02:58, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

It's still weird to look at someones page and see your name a credit, but not know they used it. Its not really about ownership as much as who originally came up with the idea. is that the same thing? — Seru Talk 03:17, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about that, by all means I should've asked you first, Seru. I'll make sure I won't steal stuff anymore lol. -- WoB 03:34, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

I dont mind that you use it. I just dont want people to blatantly take stuff tho. — Seru Talk 03:43, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about that, inpulse sort of thing....btw I might go to a boaringboarding school in Arizona...IB program sort of thing. -- WoB 03:48, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Holloween?

I thought halloween wasn't for another month. o.o — Galil 14:26, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

27 days...... -- Wyn 14:27, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

27 days muhahaha. -- WoB 22:53, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Sig

I don't mean to be "Mrs. Meanie Head" (like Wyn, hehe) but I just wanted to tell you that there is a bit of a problem with you sig. Your sig says "WoB" but your username is Wings of Blood, and in order to be correct with policy; you need to either A) Get your sig to say Wings of Blood instead of "WoB" or B) Register the account "WoB" and redirect the userpage and talk page to your user and talk page. Thanks! --Shadowphoenix 02:59, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Poor bastard has had a lot of people gang up on him about every damn thing recently. I'm still pissed people wouldn't let him use the simple blood drop.- Vanguard 03:03, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Well I am not trying to gang up on him, I know how that feels and I would never do that. I am just trying to give him a friendly message so that he knows that there is a problem and doesn't get in trouble :) --Shadowphoenix 03:05, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

I know you're being friendly. Doesn't mean you're not part of the onslaught Blood's been getting. Scroll up. Look at the recent archive.- Vanguard 03:15, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Here I have to disagree. There is nothing in the policy that says your actual username has to be present. Just that you can't impersonate another user, and that it has to link to your userpage. Please read the policy over before you start asking people to make changes. -- Wyn 03:26, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

As I recall, he doesn't HAVE to do that, but it is recommended. That way you dont have someone come in later and make the account named WoB and rly skrew things up. I think Wyn will recall we went through a similar issue with my sig. — Wolf 03:32, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Yeah i recall nothing wrong with shortening the name to WoB its fine — Seru Talk 03:36, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

(Edit conflict x2) I apologize Blood, apparently somethings have changed since I got my butt chewed about having my sig link to Shadow (an inactive user with 0 edits). My apologies ^^ --Shadowphoenix 03:36, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Lol np SP. I do like it when people point out certain holes in policy I managed to slip through, please keep an eye on me =D. -- WoB 03:38, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Until User:WoB exists and starts to contrib, and its not an account made by Blood, he is fine. Every time I see WoB I think of Word of Blake XD — Wolf 03:40, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) @Vanguard, I think the blood drop was cool, and had no problem with that, it may have been the specific image he used, had he used the icon for sacrifice it would have been just fine. -- Wyn 03:42, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, I might have to copywrite my name! muhaha, should I make a rederect from WoB to me? WoB are just the intitals because Wings of Blood was too long for a siggy =]. -- WoB 03:43, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

WoB should redirct to Wings of Blood, which is not too long for a sig imo. — Wolf 03:45, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Kk, I made it and rederected it to myself =D -- WoB 13:34, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Was for me! -- WoB 03:54, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

It might be easier for other users to find you if you register an additional account User:WoB and redirect it here. I did the same for User:Why. :) — Why 06:50, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Vanguard, "letting" someone use a copyright violation isn't an option for any of us; we don't decide on our copyright rules. --195.195.129.3 07:40, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Amound, is that you? Everyone please try not violating NPA, I see a argument unfolding. -- WoB 13:31, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

That was me at college, not logged in; I was simply stating that allowing people to use copyrighted material (and furthermore deciding what copyrighted material is and isn't) isn't our place, it's ArenaNet's. -- Brains12 \ talk 16:01, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Ahh ok. Well I think I should break down this section to another one since it went off topic. -- WoB 01:13, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Tagging guild pages

Please be more careful when tagging guild pages for cleanup. -- Wyn 05:14, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

sorry about that, should I wait a week before tagging guilds like that? -- WoB 05:16, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

No, but you need to make sure they actually need to be tagged. all they have to have is the {{guild}}, {{guild infobox}} and one contact, whether it's guild leader, website, forum, or member IGN. -- Wyn 05:19, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

I was looking at the images, must have not meant the cape. oops, sorry about that, I'll try to be more careful. -- WoB 05:20, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Test test test, I hope I get an A!

Testing 1 2 SarielV 03:58, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

ok, I'll fix the naming of that image for you. -- WoB 04:04, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Testing 1 2 3 SarielV 04:10, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Working great! I thought I removed the background so it was clear but light light light grey works I guess =D -- WoB 04:18, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

random gibberish

I'm lost. I've gone to look for myself. If I should return before I get back, please ask me to wait. -- WoB 01:30, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Image

Where did it come from blood? — Seru Talk 04:17, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Looks like some re-graphic of a necromancer skill/icon thing.- Vanguard 04:18, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

right here. -- WoB 04:25, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

May I ask why? It is a cool image and as you can tell I put it into my sig -- WoB 04:27, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

It came from the dat file, just recolored. -- Wyn 19:21, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

I still need to learn how to do that. =D -- WoB 20:21, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi there. Could I ask you about the origin of this? Backsword 17:29, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Photoshop --> transparent background. Srs bsns. -- Armond Warblade{{Bacon}} 17:40, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

the image before it, I just removed the background and made it sharper. -- WoB 19:16, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

'k. Edited screenshots still needs the {{screenshot}} tag. {{arenanet image}} is for images from other sources, such as concept art or independent renders. Backsword 19:21, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

k thanks, I'll take note of that =D -- WoB 19:40, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

New skin

If you can just find where it defines alinks and vlinks and modify the code a bit there, it should fix that problem. Dunno about bolding the watchlist, though. -- Armond Warblade{{Bacon}} 12:52, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Done and done. =D -- WoB 01:33, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Hmm. Perhaps a workaround solution to the watchlist would be to make the alink for the watchlist only a really annoying color that would stand out as much as the bold would? -- Armond Warblade{{Bacon}} 01:46, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

I've been trying to fix that, it goes as the new text color that is #444444 "darkgray". Once I figure out more about the coding I'll make it a darkred for easy standout. -- WoB 01:48, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Ok all is fixed, make sure on your talk page "if you ever edit/ make a header" to make the background color "none", with this "color" people using the normal theme will see it normaly and you will see it using the theme. . . the colors and all. -- WoB 03:54, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

o.o

*cough cough* — Seru Talk 13:06, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Yeh, sigh.. I moved it to another page. -- WoB 01:00, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

I was talking more about the talk page. — Seru Talk 01:14, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Does it show up wak still? I was already talked to about that. -- WoB 01:17, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

I fixed it right after Seru posted this. -- Wyn 06:32, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Oh, well. . .thanks for the fix! -- WoB 23:19, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

You don't need ti archive 7kb of data . . .— Seru Talk 23:52, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Blah, I archive mine after 5 days of inactivity.

Thanks for the quick response =]. -- WoB 01:00, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

yeh man, I'm totally fed-up with Windows -- WoB 20:57, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Traitor! — Wolf 23:40, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

I will be switching to linux the next time I feel it worth my while to get a new computer. (Which I've done twice so far with this laptop, and as firefox is being horrible, a third may be coming soonish.) -- Armond Warblade{{Bacon}} 23:42, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

I am not a traitor, just a....um...."IDK WHAT I AM"! I just went through a 2 hour up-date and I'm pretty lazy to open GW because it'll take 40,000 files just to be normal. O.O -- WoB 00:40, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Save the .dat to a portable hard drive, copy-paste it over to your new hard drive partition. -- Armond Warblade{{Bacon}} 23:29, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

kk, just did; seems to work better. Thanks -- WoB

Yeah, it's a hell of a lot faster writing from your computer to something plugged into your computer than to write to your computer from a foreign server (and the latter is limited by your bandwidth). You should probably still run a -image just in case, though. -- Armond Warblade{{Bacon}} 20:22, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

What's with...

... your signature? o.O poke | talk 20:44, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Does it appear like "|"'s? -- Ψձㄅ 20:58, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Is that supposed to look like "WoB"? I have enough trouble figuring out which user "WoB" is, but those characters don't even look anything like that. -- Brains12 \ talk 22:14, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

WoB = Wings of Blood which in-turn = Blood234. . . It's my halloween thing, supposed to look like someone wrote it with blood instead of ink. -- Ψձㄅ 22:15, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

I don't see how, to be honest... -- Brains12 \ talk 22:17, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

lol, can you find me characters that do then? Things appear different on Linux then Microsoft so I'm currently installing a 250mb package with all the current fonts from all 3; Linux, Microsoft, and Mac. -- Ψձㄅ 22:21, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

"WoB" (or, my personal favourite, "Wings of Blood") :P -- Brains12 \ talk 22:24, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

xD...you tell me that after I make User:WoB so I won't get into trouble for impersonating another user when WoB was made!?!? In my very dis-respected opinion "Wings of Blood" was too long for a signature but again thats my dis-respected opinion =]. -- Ψձㄅ 22:27, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Your sig looks like a pitchfork the & sign and one of Elocs letters. — Seru Talk 22:29, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Do note the third point of GWW:SIGN#General rules and considerations. - Tanetris 22:30, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

(Reset indent) Exactly what I wanted to know, I reverted my sig.....but to me it didn't look disruptive but then again I used a special font. -- WoB 22:34, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

I have to take exception to your non latin character signature.... WoB was acceptable... non latin characters are not. PLEASSE LEAVE IT ALONE. -- Wyn 22:40, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, sure thing. -- WoB 22:55, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) I'm not disrespecting your opinion, I'm just stating my own. I prefer "Wings of Blood", but I'm not telling you to change it to that, nor am I saying "WoB" is unacceptable. -- Brains12 \ talk 22:56, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

I wasn't implying that, at least you don't yell (which I find pretty offensive and really annoyed about atm) -- WoB 23:00, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps it would be better if you didn't change your signature as often as you do, and go for a more permanent version instead. Don't understand me wrong, I'm all pro creativity and freedom of expression and such things, but people might have trouble seeing who commented where if everyone has a new signature each week. I find it quite confusing myself, having to link your name to a new signature each time it changes, now I was like "huh, who stole Blood's signature color-scheme?" before I found out it was actually you. ^^ — Why 23:41, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

The most I ever did to my sig was a new pic, new color, and font, once each, baring my initial image. — Wolf 23:46, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Ight, Why. Wolf you know me the best; I'm all creativity just like Why said. -- WoB 00:47, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Lol, true, you just need to settle on something. — Wolf 01:58, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Will a template work? It will change all my sigs without people noticing. -- WoB 03:11, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

We disallowed signature page inclusions for 2 reasons: (1) It's a wonderful vandalism target. (2) It indirectly encourages people to change their signatures. -- ab.er.rant 03:18, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Re: I have 1 little problem w/ GW & Linux

I am waiting for final release before installing 8.10, so i cant tell if your problem is specific to 8.10. If you just have installed 8.10, maybe you didnt got the right driver installed. Check if other OpenGL software work in accelerated mode. Then try "Emulate a virtual desktop" in the winecfg's graphics tab. Do the GW window show up in the emulated desktop? Also, window positioning and size are stored in the Gw.dat file, try to rename it and start gw again. Gw will create a new dat file. If, after downloading the base files, the window show up correctly, you will have to download every things again. I have not find a way to reset the config will preserving the downloaded content. Hope that help. --Bob 12:28, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Isn't beta the final release? I got GW to work with corss fire by shrinking the window and making it fit my desktop with the taskbar on top. Thanks for the reply. =] -- WoB 22:32, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Personally Linux is pretty cool; btw you just violated NPA so please don't talk like that =D. I switched back to Windows though due to support issues. -- WoB 01:14, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
