Need something deleted
This one's odd, I can't add the delete tag and...well, see for youself. It's W\any Enraging dragon. That "\" breaks the URL and makes it inaccessible to edits. It is only accessible through Histories and such (found it in my Contribs for instance, I moved it originally). In any case, not sure how to deal with it...thanks in advance.

I could have sworn I heard our ventrilo channel say "Skuld has left the server" the other night. Did you have a run with the SoF Victrix crowd? If so, how'd it go? -- ~ Epinephrine 09:03, 30 January 2007 (CST)

Well I know you were watching Skuld, so here's the final results. Feel free to distribute them to any who want to use them. And yes, I resized the images back to their original. I was having a brainfart when I had them at 40px before. Just go to my talk page and you can see them there.

 * Sorry, but any build in which the creator feels is viable deserves testing. As a side note I belie he ment Echo and not Arcane Echo. I did how ever learn this the hard way with you Blastedt on not testing before you vote and then not supporting your vote. grrrr....--Sneakysmith12 07:48, 31 January 2007 (CST)
 * Even if you could Arcane Echo DB, it's pointless, by the time you get off another chain DB is recharged. &mdash;[[image:Blastedt sig.png]]Blastedt 15:08, 31 January 2007 (CST)
 * Let me point out what I said. I said: any build in which the creator feels is viable deserves testing  Now let me explain that the world does not care about your standards for a build. The wiki does not care. You can, yes vote. You can even vote if you have yet to test, unethical, but u nevertheless can. The wiki requires the support of it's members. If the build was made it should be tested REGUARDLESS of what you think it will do. Now wether or not this build doesnt need any form of echo is not the point. The point is you must abide by the rules of this wiki to be a member of the wiki. Even in the Voting guidelines says that it needs 3 more unfavored then favored votes to get unfavored and then will start the deletion process.--Sneakysmith12 18:14, 31 January 2007 (CST)
 * let me point out it does nothing, it was supposed to do something, but cannot do that since arcane echo cannot copy it. It's not my "standards", I don't even play sins, but the build is telling you to do something you cannot so you can be a god and kill everyone. &mdash;[[image:Blastedt sig.png]]Blastedt 18:55, 31 January 2007 (CST)
 * That could easily be a typo for lack of better words. If you noticed their is no elite. So it could easily be confused with Echo. Now the fact you admitted you don't play sins does eliminate you from voting, because you cannot vote without testing.--68.102.128.17 19:05, 31 January 2007 (CST)

 * Anyone can vote wherever they please. You just hold a grudge, sneaky, since I unfavored one of your builds. QQ, and grow up. &mdash;[[image:Blastedt sig.png]]Blastedt 19:07, 31 January 2007 (CST)
 * Nah, I got over that. I just don't want you doing it to other people. And for where it says "please" can be interpitive to do it or better have a good reason why not. I am sure Skuld will agree on me with this one.--Sneakysmith12 22:07, 31 January 2007 (CST)

A/N Reapers Degeneration
Can you please take care of the stupidity that is A/N Reapers Degeneration? The creator removed your deletion tag and archived the talk page after I tried to explain to him how the build isn't even possible. :/ Capcom 03:13, 31 January 2007 (CST)

Water Spike ftw!
I just have to say, I use a very similar build on my ele. Only, instead of Deep Freeze I use Blurred Vision, and instead of Freezing Gust I use Aura of Restoration. But that's because I only use my ele in PvE. --Curse You 16:01, 31 January 2007 (CST)
 * Nice ^^ usually take blurred vision instead of glyph, becomes a little less sustainable then &mdash; Skuld 16:02, 31 January 2007 (CST)
 * Skuld, what's caused this sudden change of heart from being primarily a monk and dervish to an "Elementalist by nature?" Did you recently discover a previously unknown love for the Ele or something? Just curious. Hyperion`  [[image:Angelic_Bond.jpg|19px]] (talk) 17:31, 31 January 2007 (CST)
 * Profession hopping :p My first was an ele, but he was butt-ugly so I gave up on him mid-way through factions and worked on my monk. I get bored of monking all the time, so I made a derv but.. the new classes are limited and I did all dervish had to offer. Prefer casters, and core classes.. so back to ele. And the side matter that my latest pvp ele had 8 skill points. Ahem :P &mdash; Skuld 17:41, 31 January 2007 (CST)
 * Hehe, yeah playing the same profession for a long time does eventually get boring I guess. See what you mean about the new classes being limited, not enough skills! That's why we have so many unfavoured Paragon builds and only 5 favoured. I should play Dervish to find out more about it, but I still don't see what new things it has to offer that make it more effective than other classes in a certain role. And it annoys me that there are so many...Once you've exhausted the dervish the only reason to keep it is the 130hp boss farming :p.

Build talk:Mo/any Cookie Cutter Protection Hero
This is what... the third vote on that pointless build? We should make a rule about archiving the vote section (we already have one about not removing/striking out votes, but apparently none of the troublemakers read the rules of build-vetting). Anyway, that build has no purpose whatsoever, and the build author just seems to be trying to make a name for himself. -Auron  17:12, 31 January 2007 (CST)

Removal from adminship
Skuld,

As you may have noticed, I have removed your sysop privileges. This is not due to any abuse of power, and is not intended to be punitive. However, with the respect and expectations sysops are being subjected to, and especially considering the way our role has shifted meaning since I joined the GuildWiki, I do not believe you adequately fill the position.

Everybody, when first appointed as a sysop, goes through a period of feeling out the position. Most sysops I've seen have figured out what they're comfortable with and have performed their roles admirably almost from the very beginning. You, however, never seemed to quite come to grips with what the community wants from editors in general, and sysops specifically. I've reversed more of your actions than those of all other sysops in our history combined. You still regularly block users with no meaningful justification, so that a "vandal," in the cases when they are in fact vandals, see the text "bla bla bla" when they try to edit. You still regularly vote on builds with no justification, or worse, with justification that belittles not only the build in question, but the author of the build itself.

In short, I think you fall short of the high standards the other sysops maintain for themselves, and I've seen no improvement since you've been appointed.

Because there is no policy for desysoption, as it has never occured before, I can't tell you what recourse you have if you disagree with my decision. Of course, you are always able to petition the other three bureaucrats on the wiki, and they are of course able to revert this decision. By the principles of administration I myself wrote, I would be obliged to accept this revert. You can also attempt to persuade me to change my mind, but I warn you that I've been considering doing this since November -- I decided then that I would wait until February to give a fair and balanced perspective on your activities.

As always, I'll keep an eye here and on my talk page, and I'll do my best to respond to everybody who comments.

&mdash;Tanaric 00:41, 1 February 2007 (CST)


 * Well thats a bummer, heh. Could I not have been forewarned? &mdash; Skuld 02:30, 1 February 2007 (CST)

Wow, im sorry Skuld....I was sorta begning to think you were ok. I mean you are a little on the cynical side, but I always thought that you were the neccessary bad cop that Guild Wiki hired. But, if I were a mod I'd think all the hate mail would be a sign of things to come.--&mdash; Hyprodimus Prime   05:08, 1 February 2007 (CST)
 * The entire Wiki is getting more and more politically correct, as it were. I wonder if this has something to do with this? -Auron [[Image:Elit Druin.jpg|||My Talk]] 05:34, 1 February 2007 (CST)


 * Holy cow, that was harsh, Tanaric. I, too, did disagree with some of Skuld's reverts and blocks over the last few weeks and months (and I'm sure I would have disagreed even more often if I had paid more attention to the build section), but I think removal of his sysop status without any prior warning or discussion (at least among the admin team) is not justified.


 * Now this incident makes me feel even more uncomfortable with my own "coincidential" promotion to admin. --[[Image:TurningL sml.gif|Tetris L]] 05:41, 1 February 2007 (CST)
 * Xasxas feels the same way. -Auron [[Image:Elit Druin.jpg|||My Talk]] 05:44, 1 February 2007 (CST)
 * Auron, I don't think you're helping. You're wrapped up very tightly in why this happened, after all. — HarshLanguage [[Image:qswearing_small.png|HarshLanguage]] 05:53, 1 February 2007 (CST)
 * o.O I've tried to distance myself from it as much as I can, and only look at facts. Nobody but Tanaric has agreed with Tanaric's recent decisions (on skuld's de-opship, or gem's RfA); look around and see for yourself. If I was still tightly wrapped up, I'd be like "ZOMFG U MEANIES STOP PICKING ON SKULD." But that helps nothing. -Auron [[Image:Elit Druin.jpg|||My Talk]] 05:57, 1 February 2007 (CST)
 * "Nobody but Tanaric has agreed with Tanaric's recent decisions." As a mostly outside observor to this, I agree with what he's done.  I feel that Skuld has been too quick to act and too harsh in his reverts, etc.  And I believe those actions made the wiki community more insular and made newcomers feel unwelcome.--Lodurr 06:05, 1 February 2007 (CST)
 * I was thinking about you as the exception as I wrote "nobody," having read your talk page not minutes before. I guess... one person agrees with him. -Auron [[Image:Elit Druin.jpg|||My Talk]] 06:07, 1 February 2007 (CST)
 * It is possible to agree with one of Tanaric's actions while disagreeing with another. It sounds like this was badly handled, and Skuld deserved much better treatment (even if he didn't always treat others well), but Tanaric can point to a pretty clear history to back up his action in this case. — HarshLanguage [[Image:qswearing_small.png|HarshLanguage]] 06:23, 1 February 2007 (CST)
 * Skuld represents the wiki somewhat, in the builds section, around the wiki, on the guru, etc. While he may not be overly neutral, as an admin might want to be, I can't think of a better way to show his position than this. While I see merit in your reasoning, I, as another member/contributor personally disagree more than agree with this. --Silk Weaker 06:14, 1 February 2007 (CST)
 * The question is does Skuld need adminship to contiune that? Ofcourse he will not be able to delete and ban anymore, but otherwise he is still free to continue contributing and 'representing the wiki' as he has done before. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 07:54, 1 February 2007 (CST)


 * It's easy enough to notify the admins if someone needs to be banned. But as for deleting, I think the builds section is better off without someone constantly tidying it up. It will become so messy that everyone will want to get rid of it. And then my evil plan will be complete! :D Just joking. :P I'm sorry that this has happened, because it wouldn't be fun for Skuld, but **** happens, you know? You can only move forward. :) - BeXoR  [[Image:Bexor.png]] 08:02, 1 February 2007 (CST)
