Edit fields [ don't] faze me. -- ◄mendel► 00:20, October 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Mendel, how did you do that? At RT's page, I got stuck. Arnout aka The Emperors Angel 07:59, 2 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Don't use the new section function. It is weak. --Vipermagi 12:26, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
 * But when you use the new function, you show up on watchlists and in rc with the new header. If you edit the whole page, or the previous section you dont. Or could you put something in the summery when editing teh whole page? Arnout aka The Emperors Angel 16:48, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Summaries!

 * You just gotta edit the summary to reflect the new header, then. I might have used the New Section thing once, or clicked it and nigh immediately just edited the last section anyhow... Always worked for me. --Vipermagi 18:33, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Firefox
I use it Shadowcrest 03:11, 2 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I use chrome. Firefox usually crashes. Ariyen 18:41, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I use firefox and wouldn't trust google with session data from chrome. Also, less personal attacks, Emmett, k? looked like IE &mdash;  Scythe   21:27, 2 Dec 2010 (UTC)
 * You can have chrome not receive session data. 72.148.31.114 01:32, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
 * no you can't. Whether you tell it to or not, I guarantee it is D: &mdash;  Scythe   22:29, 3 Dec 2010 (UTC)

Page styling
So, I'm going to be styling my talk page and maybe doing the usual Epeen character pages etc etc, I need color inspiration! so GIMMIE :D &mdash; Scythe   21:14, 5 Dec 2010 (UTC)
 * oh, I'll also be finishing my game UI by the end of the month, so keep waiting until then D: &mdash; Scythe   21:16, 5 Dec 2010 (UTC)
 * Expecting a color suggestion? Too bad.  Everything is purple today.  PURPLE IS A COLOR.--Łô√ë [[Image:Gigathrash_sig_G.jpg|Ho ho ho!]]îğá †ħŕášħ  21:24, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

not-pre formatting
someone explain why a line break resulted in a &lt;pre> area... -- easily explained, there's another way to make an area look like this, and that works by leaving a space at the start of the line. (It doesn't work like &lt;pre> because Wikicode and everything is still being evaluated, but it looks like one.) In this case, the template you used ended in a line break (I've since changed it), and after that you put a space and a tag; and hence that space came to be at the start of new line of wikitext, and triggered this formatting. Had you put the tag on the next line, it'd have looked ok. --◄mendel► 07:12, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I knew this, I just didn't realize I'd left a space D: &mdash; Scythe   20:47, 7 Dec 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, we had a discussion someplace a few months back why templates shouldn't be coded like that, precisely because it can catch users that way. --◄mendel► 04:39, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

it really happened

 * being dissatisfied with the (at the time) current drawn the wiki is moving at -- I think you ought to rephrase that, I don't understand what you mean. Do you mean the wiki is moving slowly? I would also remind you to follow Assume good faith rather than post unsupported suspicions in public places.


 * that's blasphemy - blasphemy is insulting gods, and while I am happy you think that highly of me, accusing Auron of that seems out of place. If you could make that statement less of a personal attack towards Auron, your god would smile on you. ;)

--◄mendel► 09:09, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * and I'd probably open an RfA as well as an arbcomm over it - I don't understand this one either - would you RfA me, RfR Emmett or RfA Auron? You and Showdowcrest have managed to stay out of each other's hair on this wiki so far, and I was hoping this state would continue. At this point, an arbcomm would have to examine your differences on other wikis as well, and I for one would not see it it as my GuildWiki bureaucrat duties to do that, though I'd be willing to participate in the first cross-wiki joint arbcomm ever if it came to that.
 * I actually meant drawl, it was a typo :(
 * as far as Auron and blasphemy, I consider blasphemy to be largely erroneous, not religious (though I am aware of the religious origin of the word).
 * I'd RfA Auron for banning you based on something that members of community say there is nothing wrong with. I've corrected various little grammatical errors and spellings to make the post more understandable.
 * &mdash; Scythe   16:30, 10 Dec 2010 (UTC)
 * Auron isn't a sysop here. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png|link=User:Felix Omni]] 23:26, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * With good reason. &mdash; Scythe   0:12, 11 Dec 2010 (UTC)

Silent Surf Vanquish Count
Sorry, no, I did not get a screen shot at the time. I was just happy to get the vanquish completed. Chances are I'll be vanquishing that area again though, so I'll try to remember to get one then, if I get the same count. I am fairly certain I had no quest that would affect the count, as I hadn't been in Cantha for quite some time.- Meritius Eskevar 04:29, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

Your msg
(because everyone else is just too lazy...) &mdash; Scythe   3:01, 24 Jan 2011 (UTC)
 * No, it's because Felix is the only active B-Crat here that we have (that I know of). Also, I think he's the only one right now that can do the user merge. Ariyen 03:23, 24 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Correct, only bureaucrats have access to the user merge function, and mendel is spending all his time playing around on Wikia. &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 03:42, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Mendel resigned from bureaucrat last month. What am I supposed to be doing again? [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png|link=User:Felix Omni]] 04:42, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I thought Mendel resigned from this one, So he could participate over there. Ariyen 04:44, 24 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh right. Blergh.  @Felix: see User talk:Enigma (I mentioned that we could merge his GW- and standard accounts together; he hasn't had a chance to respond yet).  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 05:08, 24 January 2011 (UTC)


 * To clarify: I emphatically did not resign from GuildWiki so I could play on Wikia, and thought I had made that clear at the time. Inquiries re: this topic on my talkpage, please. --◄mendel► 05:32, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Jokes gone so wrong... &mdash; Scythe   0:22, 26 Jan 2011 (UTC)

Primeval Armor Remnants
Afaik both is wrong. Those remnants only 'drop' directly into the inventory by chance, at the moment one of the Lords of Anguish or Mallyx himself is defeated (and thus a chest spawns). There is no guaranteed drop from any chest and there is no (additional) chance to get one when you open a reward chest. –aRTy 14:31, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * The goal of a wiki is to make content as easy, accessible, and readable as possible. Using the term 'drop' implies that a player recieves the item, which, is what happens.  Saying a player receives one is not only longer, but slightly unwieldy, and not going to click in a reader's mind as quickly.  Lords of Anguish are not guaranteed to 'drop' one, but Mallyx is.  Or at least, I've never seen him not drop one, and he follows the same mechanics as Duncan. &mdash;  Scythe   16:45, 26 Jan 2011 (UTC)


 * Do you receive the armor immediately upon defeating Mallyx, or do you only receive it when you open the chest? We should make sure we cover that distinction correctly.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 17:45, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * You receive the armor the moment you kill Mallyx resp. the Lords of Anguish, so it's at the same moment the respective chest spawns. Opening the chest has nothing to do with it. Furthermore, neither Mallyx nor the Lords will cause the receipt of the remnant for sure, it's always by chance.
 * (Personal impression, though several discussions stated the same: Every player seems to get a few quite fast, something around 15 or so, and then rarely get any more. Among players who play DoA a very lot, it's rather uncommon if anyone in the party gets solely one in a fullrun.)
 * –aRTy 18:20, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I've never seen anyone not get a remnant upon mallyx's death, so I'm inclined to believe it's 100%, as it is with duncan. &mdash; Scythe   0:44, 27 Jan 2011 (UTC)
 * I did not get one several times (played a lot more than one year ago and did a few runs recently) and some friends experienced the same. In addition an IP criticized the corresponding annotation in the german wiki already in Dez. 2009. –aRTy 07:04, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Huh, dunno then. Coulda sworn it was guaranteed, but feel free to revert me. &mdash;  Scythe   20:16, 27 Jan 2011 (UTC)
