"that was a formatting fix"
What? 23:54, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * He typed "#..." rather than "# (your vote here)" . Besides, I doubt he'd oppose someone who he said he'd probably promote on IRC. --Shadowcrest 23:58, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * But the fact remains that he was the one who posted it. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 00:00, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Then what would be the point of moving it down and not signing it a second time? Not to mention Ishmael added it too. --Shadowcrest 00:02, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The original "#(your vote here)" was removed by Shadowphoenix, after which Auron added the "#..." instead. I simply moved it back to the bottom because other people had ignored it and left it up in the middle of everything.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 02:15, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah, I belive I see. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 03:53, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Gazooks, I missed that. I'd thought that Auron's first edit was the moving. He's been watching the page all along, but not indicating any opinion. Weird. --mendel 05:03, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Auron's opinion was very clearly stated on IRC the other day: Phalange is a "good friend" who Auron knows would "do the right thing for the wiki". Which, as we've seen, means we can't have fun anymore.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 13:29, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Interesting that Phalange has stated on Banjthulu's talk page that Auron is no friend of his. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 13:38, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Wounding Strike/Reaper's Sweep
Which is better (usually)? Reaper's Wounding --Shadowcrest 01:43, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I need these to prove to my friend that one certain imba skill is better than the other, btw. --Shadowcrest  02:05, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * There's... no real comparison. Wounding is currently better than Eviscerate. Reaper's wasn't even in the same league before Wounding got buffed, now it's severely underpowered (comparing it to the severely imba wounding). Both need to be removed from the game, but there's no real argument for reaper's anymore :p - Auron 02:11, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * For secondary dervishes who feel like wielding a scythe, Reaper's Sweep is great. I used it on my Scythe Thumper. But Wounding is altogether better if you have access to enchants. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 02:12, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Indeed... especially in GvG, the bleeding (which automatically covers the deep wound) couples well with your ranger spreading poison to generate an excessively large amount of degen. -- [[Image:Ruricu-sig.png]] ( Talk • Contribs) 02:20, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * He called you all retarded. But then, he supports 2 sups per character (even for SR and the like), so don't take it personally :P --Shadowcrest  02:54, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

poll
If I made a random guild, would you join? Yes No Need answers by noon EST (GMT -5) July 13th. --Shadowcrest 03:05, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Luxon or Kurzick? [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 03:42, 20 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Why did you leave [Ni]? :O --[[Image:Progr.jpg]] - talk 12:59, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Because he wanted to join me because he doesn't have any idea. --Hel llb rin ger 13:49, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

 * I didn't join HB.
 * Kurzick. --Shadowcrest  14:28, 24 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)
 * I was the first person to revert that info, I didn't break 1RV. (though even if I had, see point 2.)
 * We can't keep track of prices, so everyone there was just removing what could technically be construed as vandalism. Particularly since the IP in question was warned not to keep adding the same info. Letting him sit there and list prices while we twiddled our thumbs thinking "Oh no, can't break 1RV!" would have been stupid. --Shadowcrest 14:27, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Though I guess this has already been pointed out elsewhere. --Shadowcrest  14:47, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Mendel did it to mess with me. Well, partially anyways, the display: none message was to make me think I was tripping because if I were to respond to him, in the edit box I would see a message he had already put up. No one else bothered to close the tag. I don't know what the first /div tag was for, maybe he wanted to trip up people who posted afterwards by making them thing he had closed the division. &mdash; Powersurge360  03:57, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * That page loaded disgustingly, with ads coming up halfway through the page and the left bar covering the logo. Did it do that to you? --<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="Steelblue">Shadowcrest  03:59, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * It didn't cover the logo, the division that contains the image was ended before the image could be placed inside. As for ads, I never see any ads, I use firefox. &mdash; Powersurge360  04:01, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * The conundrum talk page never looked like that for me. Hmm, wait - now I see it, too. In fact, this was a result of PS360 adding a with no , which unbalanced everything. --◄mendel► 10:03, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

We use Unyielding Aura for the teleport capabilities. It will be a few days before we do a Deep run however; Rask, our PvE expert, generally leads the party and gives commands, and he's currently banned for verbal abuse (happens about once a month).

'tis me, on vacation! Editing from Hilton's free "business centre."

Anyways, yeah. I'll be home on Saturday... I want to join [Goth] which is a massive kurz guild that does high level pvp and pve frequently (around 90 members, one month inactivity kick-deadline) but I wouldn't just ditch you and Bob since I dragged you into [keke] :p

So if you want to join, I'll disband guild and secure invites for both of you. There's a really good pvp guy there... isn't even r2 HA but since he's pro at gvg, he can lead and win HA... and he's not even an officer ;o

Anyways, I'll be back alive on Saturday. Also say hi to Bob for me if you see him on =)

SmashWiki

 * ...is complete and utter failure.
 * ...is mostly bullshit or info that you can get from the game easily.
 * ...is a disgrace to SSBB.

So there's not much competition. :\ I like Wiki formatting for ease of information, but few Wikis are as complete and thorough as I'd like. That's why I go to Gamefaqs or such... (T/C) 18:39, 24 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I got banned there for having a bad name, it was too long ("any more the eviscerate executioners strike spike dont work that much but its fairly effective. very weak against any type of anti-melee and shock is a costly interrupt skill." to be exact). I had to upload an image for Shadow, and I don't even know if he/she (still a mystery) has it right now.. Lol. The image got deleted cause it had nothing to do with SSB. So, gl uploading sig images? They have issues, as Shadowcrest pointed out to me. So, yeah, I agree :> --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  18:43, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * They're definitely complete and utter failure, but I think you mean just mainspace, and they're complete and utter failure for more than that. Auron, DE, LoaT, Mendel, Warwick, and some #gww IRC users can attest to this. As for 2/3, I learned some good stuff there, like SHFF(l) (though I can't do it other than in practice mode when I'm not doing anything) and wavedash (which I had never heard of). Do you use the forums on gamefaqs? --<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="Steelblue">Shadowcrest  18:50, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * @Viper once I pointed out his own image had nothing to do with SSB he said I could use it if I put it in my smasher template. But that would mean getting rid of Zelda's Light Arrow trophy, and I would never do that :o --<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="Steelblue">Shadowcrest  18:55, 24 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Get 2 smashertemplates? --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  19:02, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I thought about it, but I don't really care what my userpage looks like there. They won't let me help them, so if they're content being failures... so be it. There's nothing I can do for them if they won't let me. --<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="Steelblue">Shadowcrest  19:08, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Wavedashing died (well, almost). Snakedash is the way to go now :> It is nice place just to collect images and such, but if you're a serious Smash player then it is simply unsatisfactory. I wanna learn how to play better, damnit. Find me a prO place like Gamefaqs where (with work) I can extract all sorts of new tricks and strategies, learn alternative uses for moves, find combos and chain grabs, learn techniques for edgeguarding, etc... (T/C) 19:23, 24 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Actually, the smashwiki community does not fail all that utterly, witness my talkpage (you have to read this first, and yes, I'm talking about the orange box), but then again, that is 2 users out of how many? --◄mendel► 23:18, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Don't quote my watchlist back at me, please.
 * You can't prove "complete" by example, but you can disprove it by counterexample.
 * Why not talk to me on irc?
 * --◄mendel► 23:48, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * This proves my point.
 * Prove me wrong :P
 * Then it wouldn't be public. And I wouldn't be able to put it in such an amazing format. --<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="Steelblue">Shadowcrest  00:19, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

After seeing some of those things I am even more confident that, yes, there is a lot of things bad in Smashland. Randall shouldn't be a sysop imho. Still. I am...not happy about GuildWikians going over there to boast and generally make us look like pretentious asses. It's none of my business anymore, of course, but I can't help but think anytime this sort of transwiki communication takes place, it hurts GuildWiki and justifies the other wiki, whatever it may be. I don't usually see much positive interaction between GuildWiki users and other wiki users...it's usually "we do things different" or "from our experience this is wrong", and that's really not a nice thing to say. In the same way as, say, R.Phalange has been not so welcome here because he is an "outsider", I doubt that any criticism, no matter how well intentioned or true, is pleasant for these other communities. So I think we can join them and help them grow, sure, but don't parade the GuildWiki banner around with you. My two cents. (T/C) 01:15, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

How to tell if it's an account
There's a way to tell if a userpage belongs to a registered account or not. If the "contributions" link is there, it's a real account. --Macros 22:31, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Armor updating
Erm, I'm told the general consensus is that /attention is a bad pose. I'm updating it without /attention. It's an unnatural pose and can hide details of armor. Wanmoke 03:50, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Your picture was replaced because It did not clearly show which bits of the armor where dyeable, seeing as red is very close to the undyeable bits.--[[Image:Gigathrash_sig_G.jpg]]<font color="Black">ìğá†ħŕášħ 03:53, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The red dye throws off what the back of the armor looks like. The red is hard to distinguish from the brown, and people expecting the dyed parts to be green won't find any because there's no green. /attenion is a bad pose, but keeping the color a) the same and b) in contrast with the undying parts of the armor is more important. --<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="Steelblue">Shadowcrest 03:54, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Help on SmashWiki
I'd really want some help on SmashWiki. The user, Randall00, banned me for three months without reason or warning. The other admins don't help me because they, "Don't feel like it." Then I was permanently banned without reason. I tried talking on my talk page about the ban, but then the use Clarinet Hawk blocked me from using it. They don't use their IRC channel, so can you help me out a little, please?  CAFINATOR    Gentlemen...  21:23, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * We don't have any power over what SmashWiki does. That said, I feel for you, Randall does that a lot it seems. If they don't check IP addresses you could always make a new account and come back and try not to get caught. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 23:18, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

 * I don't know. But the head at least reminds me of Abaddon. At first I thought (obviously) of Medusa-like figure, which does not exist in game.

 * You underestimate the power of "making it up as you go". See the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy for an example. It can still be Abaddon and Echovald, because concepts you haven't use in one campaign don't go away; they're available to be used later when you need them, and the people who thought of them may be thinking similar thoughts later as well ("plagiarising themselves"). --◄mendel► 14:24, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Smash Wiki stuff
I'm putting this here so I can respond to your posts (hopefully) without getting extraneous comments from other users. If after we've discussed it you would like to move it that is fine. Anyway, the point about the rollback before sysop was an idea based on Semicolon's RfA proposal whereby a current sysop or bureaucrat would need to approve the nomination before allowing the user the ability to run for sysop. This is only necessary due to the ridiculous number of pointless RfA's that popped up last June. This was why Randall eventually shut the whole thing down. You know my feelings on this, so I won't go into them further here. To prevent the useless number of RfA's that would pop up, I thought that there needed to be some kind of mechanism to prevent that. I wasn't foreseeing there being the same speech/vote process that there was for RfA in RfR's. I'll see what I can do about ironing out the process. Also, the reason that I feel that seeing what people do with the rollback status will show somethings about how s/he will act as a sysop. If the person uses the rollback powers as a way of making an edit war easier and try to say that they can do that as a rollback, it's a good sign that if s/he is made a sysop s/he will misuse the tools. Also, I had hoped that there would be more discussion before we just up and did the RfRs. I did the RfB as directly told to by Kirby King, and modeled it off the RfAs. KP just up and made the RfRs without consulting anyone simply because he wanted it. As for your question about someone becoming a bureau without becoming a sysop, I don't see the reason that someone, in an established wiki such as ours, should be simultaneously given adminship and the ability to confer said adminship in one feel swoop. It's really a minor point, and I mostly did it for the sake of consistency with what the established ideas on the wiki are. If the community wants it changed, that's fine. I hope this answered most of your questions. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 03:06, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, the part about using it to stem the pointless RfA's make sense (enough for me to not WoT, anyway :P ). But it brings up an important point. There are quite a few users on SmashWiki that I would not ever trust to be an administrator (Oxico, KPerfekt are the ones on the rollback page atm) but I would fully trust with rollback rights. Therefore: Are you giving rollback only to people who could possibly be considered for sysop, or are you using it as a reverting tool? Because I don't really see how it could be used for both; users like KPerf who likely not ever get sysophood can make as many pointless RfA's as he wants, because he could be trusted with rollback.
 * I still don't get how rollback shows the whole trust thingy. If they abuse rollback, they could have just as easily abused the undo button; if they don't abuse the undo button, what's the point of wasting the time to see whether or not they abuse rollback? :/ (This assumes that rollback is used as anti-vandalism and not sysop req.)
 * I was under the impression that you were going to be the one making the RfR page, which is why I let the subject die out; I was waiting until you made the page before I criticized it too much :P
 * I agree that admin -> bureau is a minor point, even if I disagree with what it is. It's unlikely enough that a candidate that would be considered for both at the same time that I don't feel compelled to make a novel over it. If I'm going to pick my battles, this wouldn't be one of them. --<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="Steelblue">Shadowcrest  21:21, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Short version
* are Clarinet Hawk's points, ** are rebuttals, etc.
 * Implement rollback as a sysop requirement in order to reduce the # of RfA's from users that aren't qualified for anything more than a revert tool.
 * If rollback is only granted to candidates that could potentially be sysops, the # of poor RfA's stays low but users that can benefit from rollback (the revert tool) but should not have sysophood don't get rollback.
 * If rollback is granted to all users won't abuse it as a RV tool, combating vandalism is easier for a lot of people but the # of unqualified RfA's will be back at it's previous standard.
 * The process for rollback should not be an all-out RfA style nomination.
 * Rollback makes for a good "test period" to make sure users w/ rollback won't abuse sysop tools.
 * Users that abuse rollback could have abused reverts just as easily with the undo button, so denying rollback is nothing special.
 * Users that don't abuse the undo button will in all likelyhood not abuse rollback, thus wasting the trial time.
 * Adminship should be a requirement for bureaucratship.
 * Their jobs are too different to make one a pre-requisite for the other.

Extraneous comment
Using RfR this way is an oblique way to adress a problem that'd better be solved directly one way or another (or that's sized up wrong). --◄mendel► 06:21, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Does Bureaucrat at Smashwiki somehow not have access to sysop tools? That seems extraordinarily unlikely. You cannot say a bureaucrat's role is different from that of a sysop when a bureaucrat is ALSO a sysop. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 06:23, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * All current bureaucrats are sysops, but theoretically it is possible to be one and not the other. See [here]. --◄mendel► 06:45, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
