Welcome to the wiki! :] Elan rocks my socks, tbh. 04:16, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

 * You mean me --[[Image:Lann-sf2.jpg|19px]] Lann 04:38, 29 May 2008 (UTC)


 * No. No I don't.  Go away.  Banjthulu 04:40, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Those images on your userpage are going to need copyright information, or they'll be deleted. They might be deleted anyway. Just a heads-up. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 04:46, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * You're an ass. Just a heads-up. Lord Belar 04:50, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Meh, I'm aware of that. The images of Cthulu and Elan are taken from Wikipedia and the image of Banjthulu is from a random post on the OotS forum (I have no clue as to its origins).  Banjthulu 04:52, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Banj, I'm attempting to decipher the Wikipedia licenses and translate them over, but they're awfully confusing and I'm just a dumb girl. D: [[Image:Maui_sig.png]] 05:03, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia's under the GFDL. Lord Belar 05:04, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * If they're actually licensed and not just used under a "fair use" clause, then it's fine. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 05:06, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Fair use works fine. Lord Belar 05:07, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Belar, I think I did that right, double-check for me, if you don't mind? [[Image:Maui_sig.png]] 05:10, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, that looks fine. The third one will need a public domain tag. Lord Belar 05:11, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Danke Maui; danke Belar. Banjthulu 05:16, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * The first is actually licensed under the Creative Commons Attributions ShareAlike licenses 2.5, 2.0, and 1.0, so I changed the information to reflect that. The second and third images should probably be fine, but it's not my call. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 05:20, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

You certainly do have an attitude. :O I hereby give you permission to say all the things that I want to say, but don't.  05:42, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Sorry, but to not do so would violate my alignment ;).
 * Besides, one cannot be a loyal follower of Cthulhu (or Banjthulu for that matter) if one doesn't help to spread the madness -- I want to be eaten first! Banjthulu 06:02, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

 * I almost invariably play LE or CN (although I enjoy playing CG characters now and again as well). Banjthulu 06:07, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Hextor, I should hope. [[Image:Maui_sig.png]] 02:51, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Heh. One of the people with whom I play D&D would probably be forced to smite you if he heard that.  He always, always, always plays a Paladin of Heironeous :P.  Personally, I generally tend to play disillusioned, godless characters.  [[Image:Banjulhu icon.png|50x19px]]  Banjthulu  is better than you 02:55, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * He could try to smite me. I'm a rather powerful Cleric/War-Priest of said god. ;D  Do you have MSN Messenger? [[Image:Maui_sig.png]] 02:58, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I play a... well, nothing. I feel so left out of the circle of extreme nerdiness. By the way, why are we talking in the middle of a section [[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]Entrea  [Talk]  03:13, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * No, no I don't, and WindowsLive is currently not allowing me to create an account :/. Generally, I just use GmailChat.  I think I also have an old AIM account lying around here somewhere... [[Image:Banjulhu icon.png|50x19px]]  Banjthulu  is better than you 03:19, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Alright, managed to create an account (apparently, Microsoft is even more underhanded than I was aware -- I was trying to create an account on FF and it wasn't working, on a hunch, I tried it on IE and it worked >.>).

 * (EC)Look, I'm not forcing you, I'm politely requesting. This place has been ravaged with excess wiki-drama the last month or so, most of which over matters that started off from something small and escalated into something very dramatic. I can say from personal experience how much fun it is to cause strife but really, it only gives both you and the community a bad name (despite what other people might think on you being a 'prick). - b.r // talk  06:05, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * You realize of course that I am (mostly) joking, right?
 * That said, I do find wiki drama exceedingly amusing, but I try not to be the outright cause of the drama or even to openly instigate anything that is likely to turn into wiki drama (I prefer a more Machiavellian approach). Banjthulu 06:11, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * That's the problem. Somethings here that can start off innocently from the perspective of one person can be very easily taken in a whole different manner from someone else. People's nerves here are at fraying point and it takes just the slightest thing to trigger something far more. I apologize if it sounds like I'm blaming you, that wasn't my intention, it was more a heads up because with how things have been happening here a light-hearted comment such as yours can very likely be the straw the breaks the camels back - b.r // <font color="Black">talk  07:29, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Never. It might be one of skuld's goatse links. :P <font color="#DD2200">Lord Belar 06:05, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Interesting...
You intrigue me. --R.Phalange 22:29, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

 * You should be. <3 --R.Phalange 23:19, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

So
Whose sock puppet are you anyway? Not that it really matters, but it's exceedingly obvious at any rate. 21:21, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I think its skuld tbh :p &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png]] Warw/Wick 21:22, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Or I should say, to be a bit less accusatory, is this a newer account of a previous member or IP? [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 21:25, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Both of them have shown a level of familiarity with this wiki that no new member could possibly have. Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's a bad thing if old users become active again. I just prefer to know exactly whom I am addressing when I do so. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 21:37, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * So do I, Felix.. IF THAT IS YOUR REAL NAME -- Dr R. Phalange 21:41, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah, yes. Lightkitty too. Except Lightkitty feigns ignorance to such an extreme that it's not even funny. It is possible, though, that they are an IP, or just a transfer from another wiki they gained their knowledge from.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]<font color="#4682b4">Entrea  <font color="#4682b4">[Talk]  21:40, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, it's not my real name. It's the name I took from Golden Sun many years ago and made my online identity. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 21:44, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * So you're a thief and a liar, as well as a downright nasty hoodlum. Hrmph. -- Dr R. Phalange 21:46, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, and both of them have been taunting me since they made accounts, so they're probably friends of Auron. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 21:47, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I am glad to say that I am no friend of Auron's. And I fail to see where I've been "bothering" you before... perhaps my sense of humour is a little too ... sophisticated? .. for these parts. Good day. -- Dr R. Phalange 21:51, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I must admit that random insults are perhaps my least preferred type of humor. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 21:56, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Uh-oh
A good portion of your images are not, in fact, public domaign, or even fair use. Infact, they're downright copyvios.<font color="#4682b4">Entrea  <font color="#4682b4">[Talk]  21:42, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The only image that's from an actual strip (i.e. the image of Elan and Banjo) is being used on Wikipedia as well (which is why I assumed I could use it here as well). The rest of the images are fanart.  [[Image:Banjulhu icon.png|50x19px]]  Banjthulu  is better than you 21:58, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * OK then, those are probably OK. As for the comic stip, however, you can't really assume that fair use to represent the strip on Wikipedia automatically lets you use it anywhere. For the most part, Fair-use tags on Guildwiki only apply to things stolen from Guild Wars. Pretty much anything else doesn't work.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]<font color="#4682b4">Entrea  <font color="#4682b4">[Talk]  22:01, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The odds that those fans released their art into the public domain are extremely low (or nigh naught), so it still wouldn't be legal unless you were the creator of said images. Actually, the only image that you can legally use is the one I re-tagged. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 22:02, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, unless you can prove the fanart is public domain it will have to go, and even if it is, you should link to the author or original page.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]<font color="#4682b4">Entrea  <font color="#4682b4">[Talk]  22:04, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Well... the person's compiling them so that other people can use them (the fan art I mean)... so... I assume there's an implicit agreement there. But... whatever.  Delete them, don't delete them, whatever.  [[Image:Banjulhu icon.png|50x19px]]  Banjthulu  is better than you 22:06, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

 * I don't get it. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 22:08, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure it's being used to represent atheism on your page (omg technicalities!) but I think it's good enough. Anyway, if you could at least give a link to where you got the fanart from, it will be easier to decide whether you can keep it or not.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]<font color="#4682b4">Entrea  <font color="#4682b4">[Talk]  22:10, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, the modified Klingon emblem. Well, atheism generally means disrespect and discrimination, so I guess it fits well enough. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 22:12, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The other option is to replace the image with a self-created hastily drawn replacement and release it publicly.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]<font color="#4682b4">Entrea  <font color="#4682b4">[Talk]  22:13, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Atheism means disrespect and discrimination...? Either way, I'm an atheist and I'm using the image in a section About Me to represent that atheism, 'fair nuff?  [[Image:Banjulhu icon.png|50x19px]]  Banjthulu  is better than you 22:14, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

 * "God is dead" implies that God was once alive. [[Image:Banjthulu IPU.png‎|50x19px]]  Banjthulu  is better than you 22:25, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Or you could use any other text,like "I am an atheist" or some such. Editing my comment is not nice, even if you're better than I. mendel 22:43, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

 * That would have been better than changing its meaning by editing it. If you want to, put nowiki tags around it. mendel 22:51, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmmm... I actually considered using nowiki tags, but then decided that making it a link preserved the meaning more effectively >.> Well, no harm no foul I suppose.  [[Image:Banjthulu IPU.png‎|50x19px]]  Banjthulu  is better than you 22:52, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * This doesn't change what I am suggesting, it just makes it visble in a different way. Editing the Image tag changed what I appeared to be suggesting. It's very deep (and then again, maybe not). mendel 22:59, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, the IPU icon looks nothing like the Klingon emblem... [[Image:Banjthulu IPU.png‎|50x19px]] Banjthulu  is better than you 22:24, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

 * No-one mentioned atheists until you did, Felix. It is "atheism" vs. "religion". mendel 02:45, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
 * There's no contest. At any rate, I'm assuming you didn't look at the link to the icon thing's licensing- the icon may only be used if it's used to express anti-theist views. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 02:50, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
