Auron Vendetta?
Ok, some advice you probably not want or waiting for, and I might be completely wrong about it but its more or less the impression you give dealing with several matters here at guildwiki. Before I go on, I want to make clear, My meaning -if I have- about any 'quarrels' you have/had isn't important, I'm not defending or attacking anyone or anything. I also think you're a good contributor to this wiki. However..I can't help noticing that you're questioning Auron motives and moves over and over again. Directly or indirectly. That gives me, and probably others, the impression that there is some sort of personal vendetta going on. Again, I'm not saying you're right or wrong nor will I defend Auron in this, but I'm afraid that dealing it this way you are doing it now might fire a nasty fight (yup, fight, wikidrama or whatever, not 'discussion'). So, *if* you are indeed unhappy with the actions of Auron, shouldn't you talking/discussing it with himself instead of general addressing issues, making pages ? *or* its your intention to improve adminship in general here ? If that is the case, I think you're not making it clear enough. And maybe it something else I completely missed. My apologies on forehand for this. I'm no native English speaker, so I miss a lot of nuances that's hidden in the discussions..-- -- ( talk ) 11:04, 20 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I have been talking to Auron on irc; I will place another issue on his talk page shortly; the matter I raise on the admin board pertains to the admin community as a whole; I have no cause for a "vendetta", but I view Auron's attitudes with concern, and my discussion on this wiki is an effort to come to terms with that one way or another, and to identify who else shares these attitudes, if these attitudes are amenable to change, or whether it is I who should change, leave, or grit my teeth and tolerate. Oh, and thank you for your advice; it made me think. --11:18, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Auron is a very controversial administrator. He's grating, irritable, elitist and effective. There will always be people to stand against him and his tact, but he's always for the betterment of the wiki. &mdash; Powersurge360 Violencia   22:30, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Legendary Sword
Mendel, AGF does not mean "check brain at door". It means "assume good faith in the absence of contrary evidence". Anyone adding 100k+10ecto price to the legendary sword article is self-evidently acting in bad faith. It's a clear lie. No "new user" would be adding that. If they'd been adding "100g", you'd have a point. Normally, I'd think it was to try to scam someone, but this time I think someone is playing you - they thought you'd react this way and you've obliged, making yourself look very silly and undermining all your arguments against Auron.Lurkerabove 23:25, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Certain items in presearing jumped in price by a very large margin due to the closing of an exploit that allowed people to take powerful post-searing weapons into pre-searing. It is not impossible for the price to go like that, but definitely improbable. &mdash; Powersurge360 Violencia  23:27, 22 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Lurker, I have not once argued that the ban had been unfair. I am arguing that it could have been better documented. That is now easier because you can plop GW:PRICE on the talkpage and use it for a ban reason, too. If some people think that's a good idea and start using that, I'll be happy. I had also been wondering if the revert war was really necessary, and again, maybe some people will try other methods next time, and we'll see how that pans out. --◄mendel► 23:52, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Edit Summaries
I gotta say I love your edit summaries. You hardly have to read the actual post, because you practically retype it in the summary bar.Entrea  [Talk]  23:33, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * He's preparing for a HUGE vandalism outbreak once people trust his summaries and don't read the revisions! Mark my words. &mdash; Powersurge360 Violencia  23:34, 22 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Argh, my evil play is foiled! ... Copy & Paste ftw. I think it helps me find it in the history if I ever need to. Plus I'm thinking of you RC readers, too, of course. Thank you! --◄mendel► 23:37, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The edit summary that read "Added 'Take that, foul fiend!'" was actually longer than the revision. Also, my plans for tonight didn't work out, which is why I'm back on wiki and such. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 02:51, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
