Deletion
My build got deleted and it did not have a deletion note. I'm wondering if you could restore it. 68.105.43.77 03:03, 29 December 2006 (CST)
 * I'm good, but not that good. Got the name? ;p &mdash; Skuld 03:04, 29 December 2006 (CST)
 * Wow. That was an amazingly quick response. Sorry about that, forgot to post the name. It is N/any Army of One.  68.105.43.77 03:11, 29 December 2006 (CST)
 * Its inferior to existing tested MM builds, is that not a reason? o.O &mdash; Skuld 03:14, 29 December 2006 (CST)
 * Well, my build deals a nice amount of spike damage, but if you really don't like it, I am getting tired of arguing with people who don't vote fairly, so you can keep it deleted. Can I at least put it in my user page?68.105.43.77 03:17, 29 December 2006 (CST)
 * Nvm. I found out how to view it. Thanks. Giangn626 03:19, 29 December 2006 (CST)

Apologies in advance
I just couldn't help myself but to poke fun at you. Hope you understand, especially in light of recent events! :-) --Zampani 03:35, 29 December 2006 (CST)
 * I'm sorry as well. I just couldn't help myself.  Please forgive me (weeps in remorse) ;_;&mdash; [[Image:Azroth sig.png||builds]] Azroth  [[Image:Azroth sig2.png||talk]]  04:34, 29 December 2006 (CST)

Wondering about the build
My build E/Any Air Knocker got deleted. I was just wondering why and if it could possibly be restored. PS. The two from above Azroth and Zampani pointed me to you and they take full responsiblity for my actions ;) . Sith 07:18, 29 December 2006 (CST)

GuildWiki:No Original Builds
Hey. I put up the synopsis of NOB when I added Build Split to Policy - if you don't agree with what I wrote feel free to change it, you're the guy that came up with NOB after all. I just didn't want to list Split without noting that there was another current proposal out there as well. --NieA7 07:34, 29 December 2006 (CST)

ooooo pretty... @.@
So I went to check on the untested Ranger builds today and noticed 2/3 of them disapeared into non-existance. *poof* As I'm not that talented to see who it was that deleted them one could hazard a guess it may have been you. Whether it was or not I guess doesn't matter. I just wanted to say thanks. Most of them that were deleted were ones I couldn't decide if they deserved a vote for or against and this really helped me to not have to worry about that. Anyway, the Ranger untested builds are down to 5... that's right- 5 builds at the moment. I am gleeful. I am happy. I am going to get back to work now. :) --  Vallen Frostweaver  08:51, 29 December 2006 (CST)

Enjoy =)--Midnight08 10:02, 29 December 2006 (CST)

 * Hehe :P &mdash; Skuld 11:58, 29 December 2006 (CST)
 * I said i had ta do it=) came out pretty well i think tho lol... need ta find a better skill icon ta use tho =P--Midnight08 12:00, 29 December 2006 (CST)
 * Nice use of the "Skuld" missile next to the profession :) All in all I think this was a long over due addition to Skuld, the Quicks skill list.  The wiki must have been slacking off to not have documented this skill before considering how often he uses it :P  One thing though, you might want to remove the ":P" from the end of my comment about the 50% chance.  Just looks odd seeing it in a skills notes :)&mdash; [[Image:Azroth sig.png||builds]] Azroth  [[Image:Azroth sig2.png||talk]]  14:19, 29 December 2006 (CST)

Hi
Lol. See, the sad thing is that one day in TA, I ran into [MH] running a mindshock warrior... Apparently it was really fun to play, but every time before he used mindshock he would have to put on a +30/-2 set and even then he could get maybe 2 off before he exhausted himself out. Of course, we rolled them about 3 times. It was fun. --Theonemephisto 10:46, 29 December 2006 (CST)

Deleted Ritualist Builds
Hey Skuld, first off I wanted to tell you that I noticed the feedback you left on the "Energy Efficient Monk" build, and wanted to say I was impressed with the constructive criticism. I was going to provide similar help but you beat me to it. I just saw your new years resolution and it looks like you are off to a good start! Secondly, I'm not sure if you are responsible but the untested section looks unbelievably clean, and it doesn't look like anything too important has been lost, so good job if it was you. There was 1 ritualist build I was interested in and thinking about reworking: Build:Rt/E Grasping Diamond. Is there anyway you could restore that one and either stick it in unfavored or in my userspace? It was definitely weak, but there were some ideas discussed in the talk page that I wanted to work on. Thanks! -- BrianG 11:06, 29 December 2006 (CST)


 * i'll stick it in stubs, no edits for about 2 months tho &mdash; Skuld 11:55, 29 December 2006 (CST)
 * Cool thanks. I know its been dead for awhile.  Check my to do list, I still have to cap Grasping, hahaha.  If I don't think I'm going to touch it in a reasonable period of time, I'll just move it to my userspace.
 * P.S. Now that the untested section is looking so good, I think now would be an ideal time to try to actually enforce the part of the build guidelines that says new builds should be posted to the stub section. No new builds should be allowed to be posted to the untested section unless first posted to stubs and looked over and improved by at least one other user.  Then people who are in a patient mood can go into stubs to help noobs, while the serious testers can focus better without a constant flow of new builds cluttering things up. If you agree it should be easy to enforce using existing policy.  Any new build that gets posted just move it to stubs with an explanation. Any of the serious build submitters here already go through a process like this, either in stubs or on their userpage, so I doubt anyone will complain. -- BrianG 12:11, 29 December 2006 (CST)
 * Good idea, i'll change new stuff to stusb when I see it and inform ppl &mdash; Skuld 12:28, 29 December 2006 (CST)
 * Cool. Obviously you can use your judgement and leave something if it looks ready for testing, but many builds end up in untested without even having proper grammar and formatting etc.  I'll try to assist you by patrolling the stubs section more often and providing assistance to new submitters. -- BrianG 12:38, 29 December 2006 (CST)

GW:1RV
Got a double-reverter going on here. They think they have the right to revoke a "tested" status based soley on their vote vs. the majority and reverted the status twice. I'm putting up a ban notice as it is a bannable offense. — Jyro X 15:16, 29 December 2006 (CST)
 * Usually, people who do that don't know about GW:1RV, and explaining it resolves the issue without it needing a ban. Don't continue to re-revert, you doing it is much of a violation as the other user.  Let an admin address it (I'll look now). --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 15:18, 29 December 2006 (CST)
 * I've removed the ban request for now. The user appears to be following site policies now that he's aware of them. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 15:49, 29 December 2006 (CST)

Why do you keep putting the res sig in Build:W/any Flailing Dragon?
Most PVE players will be using Sunspear Rebirth Signet anyway. Or Rebirth if they're paranoid wammos. &mdash; 130.58 (talk) 17:29, 29 December 2006 (CST)

Contact Request
My applologies for speaking to you here, but, I cannot find contact info on you. you are a system admin. Please contact me at eadsja@ms.com so I adress a problem I have with you. - Shireen
 * Have you tried the "E-mail this user" link in the toolbar on the left? It's below the ad window/box. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 18:35, 29 December 2006 (CST)

You?
Have a cookie. --Llednar 18:24, 30 December 2006 (CST)
 * You the one who got half the builds on my " Kill these builds now " List? If you are then...


 * Yum &mdash; Skuld 18:29, 30 December 2006 (CST)

Stop and reconsider...
Skuld, you really, really, REALLY need to re-examine your entire demeanor in the PvP section. You are starting to sound extremely elitist and act somewhat irresponsibly. Telling someone to uninstall the game for mispelling Dervish or posting a build that you think is inferior is not befitting you as an admin. Disregarding the rules to make a joke out of someone's build (against their wishes) is very insensitive and irresponsible. Please reconsider. --Karlos 19:05, 30 December 2006 (CST)
 * Do you have any examples (links) of this? Sir On The Edge 19:16, 30 December 2006 (CST)
 * Build:W/E Starburst Warrior. Entropy 19:18, 30 December 2006 (CST)

Yeh, sorry, i'm a dick /shame &mdash; Skuld 19:34, 30 December 2006 (CST)
 * A couple of other posts that really stood out to me.
 * Build talk:E/any total air knockdown. This one is plain ridiculous. You've placed your negative vote at 07:32, and then at 13:34 you comment "i just noticed this doesn't have lightning orb, what is this een supposed to do". In case you missed this, Please do not vote on a build until you have actually tested it.
 * Build talk:W/E Shock Axe Warrior, "This is ####, all you want to be running are grenth dervishes, bunny thumpers, or shadow axers, flail, 4 SRS?!" Not really that funny.
 * Another strange show here. Build talk:Mo/Me Inspired Smiter. "Make an ele"? I don't think that's really much of a constructive response. That's a smiter build, and you suggest to make an air ele? Notice the difference on that talk page between users who actually gave it a try, and tried to look at the build with an open mind, and your comment Skuld, which is basically you going in there with preformed ideas of which classes should be doing damage (air eles, I guess), and which classes shouldn't even bother to touch a whole attribute line (smiting, in this case).
 * My point being, while I can appreciate the fact that you're putting more effort in the Builds section than probably anyone else, please try to be more objective, fair and careful with what you do. Not all air eles have to run Mind Shock or Bsurge. Not all healing monks have to run LoD. The GuildWiki builds area is not (yet, at least) the "Only Builds You See Being Run In Top 10 GvG". There's so many possible combos in this game, that closemindedly scrapping away from the beginning all but a select few is almost a crime. You're an admin, supposed to set a good example for the rest of us users, and all that. Hope that makes sense. Thanks. --Dirigible 21:26, 30 December 2006 (CST)


 * Hmm? Its an inferior build, im not gonna say yay this is good just cos its on a monk primary >.< bad mood, I should prolly step away tata &mdash; Skuld 21:28, 30 December 2006 (CST)
 * Another example is Build talk:E/Mo Prismatic Runner, where you suggest I should abandon the build and "play Mo/E." While you and Rapta make fun of the build because "it does no damage." If you had bothered to read what the build is intended to do, you would have clearly seen that it was intended to do no damage. Please consider how the build should actually be used, instead of demeaning it because you can't grasp its concept. --Macros 12:46, 31 December 2006 (CST)


 * As an aside, the "Please do not vote.. blah blah" is just a request, not official policy and actually something I myself wrote into the template when I was cleaning it up. — Jyro X [[Image:Darkgrin.jpg]] 00:22, 31 December 2006 (CST)


 * Mind if I move that comment to the build page, Skuld? Entropy 00:28, 31 December 2006 (CST)


 * Hey all, I've been known to complain about Skuld's attitude in the past, but in his defense, I have noticed an improvement, take a look at the comments left on Build_talk:Mo/any_Minimum_Energy_Healer, where Skuld leaves some good constructive feedback for a bad build. I also noticed that he has "Give more constructive critisism and have more patience" listed as a new year's resolution.  So now with the untested section cleaned up and the new year just beginning, let's give him a chance to carry through on his resolution before making a fuss. -- BrianG 13:38, 31 December 2006 (CST)
 * In skuld's defence when he said something is stupid... 9/10 times he is actually right. Just that a lot of people can't see why it's stupid so people get defensive and pissed off. --Lania Elderfire 16:53, 31 December 2006 (CST)
 * Ive made a very similar argument for him in the past, but it IS true that he needs ta chill a bit if he's acting as an admin... --Midnight08 18:03, 31 December 2006 (CST)

Look, if theres a build with mending in it, you dont even NEED to vote for it, you know it sucks. yah..(not counted farming builds) - Cracko 17:01, 31 December 2006 (CST)

Deleted Build
A build of myne Build:R/P_Envious_Barrage was deleted and it was the centre of a discussion about merging the Barrage builds, please revert this at least temporally. Sir On The Edge 19:16, 30 December 2006 (CST)
 * Done, tell me when you get a merged one :p &mdash; Skuld 19:45, 30 December 2006 (CST)

Vandalism..
Hi! I've reverted vandalism on Mission overviews (Nightfall) made by 68.83.2.247. Corsaire  14:18, 1 January 2007 (CST)

Wiki Font
What is happening to the font? First it was small, then it got huge, and now its small again. I just got used to the big one.--&mdash; Hyprodimus Prime   11:21, 2 January 2007 (CST)
 * The font changed? I'm here every day all day and I didn't notice. - BeXoR  [[Image:Bexor.png]] 11:30, 2 January 2007 (CST)
 * I haven't noticed a change recently. That happened to me once too but it turned out to be a problem with the "Text Size" setting of my browser.  If you use IE, check "View" -> "Text Size".  There is a similar setting in Firefox but I'm at work and we're on IE so I can't tell you where the setting is at the moment. -- BrianG 11:34, 2 January 2007 (CST)
 * Also in View - > Text Size, heh. If you've got the mouse gestures addon installed under Firefox, just make sure you haven't accidentally done the up & left or down & right gestures, which are defaulted to changing text size. - GregPalo 11:38, 2 January 2007 (CST)
 * I think if you mouse scroll while holding ctrl or shift it can also change text size. It really annoys me! - BeXoR  [[Image:Bexor.png]] 11:58, 2 January 2007 (CST)

ya that must have been in, not the site itself, cuz google is smaller too now. I didnt touch the settings though....weird.--&mdash; Hyprodimus Prime   23:26, 2 January 2007 (CST)
