 * You historical flasher, you. Also, when was it decided employee section would be removed, I missed that discussion. &mdash; Powersurge360 Violencia  23:37, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I removed all the employee section links after Roland noted on Izzy's talk page that the link was no longer working. I checked the ArenaNet website, and it seems that the employee section no longer exists at all- at least not on their website. If it was just moved and anyone can find it, I will gladly put the new links in myself. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 23:39, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Revert war on Legendary Sword
Hi, I know this was yesterday, but apparently this is still an issue. Don't engage in a revert war, even if you think the information entered is false. If your undo is reverted itself, leave it be -- contact the person reverting (i.e. the one repeatedly putting in said false information) and/or discuss on the relevant talk page. If that person continues, try to keep discussing or simply wait it out. Toodles, from your friendly neighbourhood do-goody, -- R  Phalange  20:55, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

 * That's probably the case, but because it's a skill that can be used by humans without changing forms, I thought it would be a decent idea to note it anyway. Incidentally, the note was derived from Midgetchinese's edit to Secret Lair of the Snowmen. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 08:45, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

I've been browsing through some of your pages in edit mode and some of your tags are pretty sloppy (closing tags with for example) and I was wondering if I could have permission to clean them up here and there.

re online
No, I don't hate you. In fact, I think you have made a remarkable turnaround and you are right back to where you first were when I promoted you - witty, able, and conscientious. If you asked I would support you for sysoption again right now, to be honest. I respect you and even find you frequently amusing again. And I think you are doing a great job of steering clear from those things which caused so much problems earlier; although you do still get in the occasional veiled potshot, but that is understandable and I would do the same thing myself if I was in your position. So, no, I don't hate you. Silence can be interpreted as many things but for Guild Wars, it almost always means "I am busy with the game and didn't see your pm" these days. (T/C) 06:22, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I was not expecting this! Such words bring a smile to my face; maybe I'm something of a "carebear," but I really enjoy it when people compliment each other. As for re-sysoption, it's not something I'm considering pursuing at the moment. I'm very busy in real life right now- Once Upon a Mattress opened tonight, and that will take a good deal of my time and energy this week and next weekend. Also, I think the wiki is in very good shape right now- Ishmael works on whatever he can find for hours every day, Viper is here in the morning (my morning, that is), and Jedi has bunches of plans for new exciting explosions of color pony apple rabbit.
 * In conclusion, I'm glad to know that I've been able to restore some of your trust and respect for me, and I'm also serenely content with the wiki today. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 06:35, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Block, again
I've responded to your... request?... on Phalange's talk. From that display of attitude, and judging from conversations like this, I don't think you're currently capable of positively contributing without too many negatives coming into play. You have an effect on people. You're one of the more popular people around, even if you've got an enemy list about as big as mine. But that means you need to pick your battles carefully, and when dealing with potential enemies (or users you've had severe disagreements with before), you need to make sure your comments don't come across as aggressive/trolling/baiting/whatnot. If you tried, and the person just mistook your words, that's fine. Those cases are also usually obvious to a third party. But telling someone to leave if they don't meet your personal level of dedication or contribution count or whatever the hell isn't okay. As always, if you have an issue with someone, post about it on their talk page. If you're afraid to do that (because of potential community input or user feedback), contact any of the sysops (or bureaucrats, if the issue is with a sysop, as it is in this case) and tell them your issue. Going vigilante on sysops you don't like doesn't help anything. I promoted Phalange, but that doesn't mean I'll turn a blind eye to anything he's doing wrong. That goes even more so for Pan and JediRogue - I would be very surprised if they were willing to ignore bad conduct on Phalange's part. Even though demotion is a rare occurrence, it isn't out of the question if the offense is heinous enough. Keep the channels open, and when you have an issue, talk it out before doing stuff like removing them from the active sysops list :< - Auron 15:37, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * When Warwick removed me from the active sysop list, no one complained. Maybe it's not the act itself that bothers you, but the way or manner in which Felix approached the issue? If so, I would encourage you (Auron) to reconsider the ban-worthiness of this action. I think Felix has made great strides towards improvement in his conduct since the last time he was banned (see above section) and this is one deviation from otherwise normal conduct. Asking Felix to retract his comment and think more about how it would read to Phalange/others would be a more appropriate resonse, I think, than banning for a single and not very heinous offense. Really, I don't see Felix being "a troll" in hs daily contributions, unless you consider whining about the recent skillchanges as trolling. But hey, we're all doing that in some way or other.

Let it go. You've done enough by instigating the discussion; don't further implicate yourself and inadvertently give substance to Auron's ban. I thought that you had improved; don't make me doubt again. (T/C) 08:32, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I wasn't going to. >.> [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 08:33, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * An apology to those slighted also does wonders for your image, you know. And thanks. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 08:48, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree. Why tell me, though? [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 08:50, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Because I am psychic and drop somewhat indirect hints to future events which have not happened yet. ;) If you want that in plainer words, I think you should apologize to R.Phalange for the manner in which you addressed him, both on his talk page and on the Admin Info discussion page. Your points are valid and your concerns are genuine, but you could have gone about making them known without being rude and tactless (to put it bluntly). I know that if I read such comments directed towards me, I would not feel very happy about them or you. And most importantly, they certainly wouldn't be much compulsion to change. After all, if you know you aren't doing your job, having someone shove the fact down your throat isn't the best motivation.
 * If you are feeling very magnaminous, I also think an apology to Auron wouldn't be unappreciated. You could explain to him your frustrations and how you try hard not to let these sorts of issues get to you anymore; that this was a blip and unintentional; that you don't ever mean to cause drama or disruption. I understand that that would be asking for a lot...nevertheless, if I can even guess at what Auron is thinking, I believe that he sees you as a thorn in the Wiki's side right now. Auron doesn't dislike anyone personally; his concerns are with the Wiki. Thus, even though it was never intentional, you could apologize for the real and perceived harm you have done to the Wiki, both now and in the past, and show how you have made progress away from "that Felix". I can't say whether he will accept such a thing or even /care, but you will never know until you try - and it wouldn't hurt you in any case. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 09:10, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Entropy, I hate to say this yet again, but your judgment of Auron's character, and by extension Phalange's character, is 100% wrong. He deserves no apology and no respect. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 09:13, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Respect is earned and not deserved; but on a Wiki that makes things fall apart very quickly. I see that your mind is set and so I will drop the matter; it's in the other sysops' hands now. Because if one of us is totally wrong, I can only hope that the seed of dissent has been planted, and that we really know what we're doing. Beyond that I have not the power to change. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 09:22, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Auron deserves no respect because he has done nothing to earn it. Quite the opposite, in fact. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 09:24, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Now you've really done it. Because I am personally conflicted - at least three times over - I won't be the one to take any action, beyond saying that you are truly swimming with the sharks now and I've no longer the heart to even try and help you out. Mendel had the sense to at least pass off his hit-page(s) as "research on precedents" or some other policy-oriented goal. You are not so cunning. (T/C) 09:31, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * You asked me to discuss Phalange's character elsewhere, that is exactly what I am doing. I will change the links to be less inflammatory, but I am breaking neither policy nor law by storing them in my userspace. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 09:34, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * You act as though you think I have formed my judgments without seeing each and every single one of those blunders. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 10:01, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

I have changed my mind. 09:47, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Too late, the damage has been done. Even if it's not backed by a ban, I think you ought to consider taking a break from the Wiki for awhile. As for me, my personal liking and acceptance of you remains untouched...but I can't say the same for trust. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 10:01, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Axes - grind them or bury them? Sometimes you have to do one before you can do the other. Care must be taken to stop heads from rolling in the process, though. Compromise.

I have never consciously compiled a hit list. It has always been sufficient for me to examine the present behaviour I was unhappy with and address that. (Is this a good place to note that I liked Auron's statement of the ban reason this time? I didn't agree with it, but it succinctly stated what the ban was about.) If I wanted to form an opinion about R.Phalange/brains12 as a person, I'd examine past and present contributions here and on GWW, compile a digest, and get him to comment on that. On the contrary, what Felix has done was state his grievances with another wiki user; the language needed to be toned down, but knowing what the grievances are by having them on the wiki is, in my eyes, a positive thing. --◄mendel► 14:27, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Entropy, I have been considering for the past half dozen hours or so whether to make the following statement, and I have decided that, though it may seem like a terrible thing to say, I need to say it. If your relationship with Auron is an example of your trust, I do not want it. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 16:27, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * What relationship? For quite some time (1 month? 2? 3? I lose count) I haven't communicated with Auron outside the Wiki other than some passing comments in-game, all of which was RL- or GW-oriented. I could count the number of times that occurred on one hand. If you think that taints me, then I wonder why you'd ask me to join IRC... perhaps you wouldn't like me dealing with Auron except in places it can be monitored?
 * I trust Auron to do the right thing, think his actions through, and strive for the betterment of the Wiki. And from what few edits he does I can tell that he's not oblivious to everything that goes on here. Most of the time Auron doesn't let me down...and if he does there's always a good explanation why.
 * I have different expectations for different people. You and I have sparred like this repeatedly, but ever since your last (sustained) ban it seemed that you were working to improve yourself by actively avoiding and extricating yourself from matters which could potentially turn inflammatory...I hadn't seen any more incendiary rhetoric, uncalled-for comments, serious breaches of civility, etc. Then you threw it all away by reacting to something which I think was quite minor...I had trusted that you were wise enough to know when you were getting in over your head, and that you'd realize your mistake and catch yourself. I was let down, though. I know that you only want the best for the Wiki, etc., but I can't trust you to avoid such errors right now, maybe not ever again. I don't trust you to take the diplomatic tact and think about how others might see your words before you post them...at least in matters which concern R.Phalange, Auron, etc. Other than that, you're just fine discussing policy, ideas, skill changes, etc., hardly a troll there. And you still make edits to mainspace which are good. So really I don't know what to think. That's why I don't trust you so much anymore...I like consistency. If I could count on you only losing yourself in relation to R.Phalange and Auron etc. then that would even be better, though I would still dislike it. But now I'm all "slippery slope".
 * If you don't want me to trust you with Wiki matters, then that's fine with me, since I wouldn't ever take any administrative action for or against you; too many personal conflicts. If it's my friendship that you don't want, that is another matter. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 19:43, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
