Comic
It so happens, I can sketch quite well. I'd be glad to help out. Only drawback is that I use old style pencil and paper. Might need cleaning up. --Karlos 22:55, 24 May 2006 (CDT)


 * When you say sketch quite well do you mean like simple pencil outlines? Or do you add shading and depth too? If you're talking about these kinds of sketches: white ninja comics then I might be able to help, I've got access to a tablet which I wouldn't mind giving a bit of a go. I'm not fantastic at it but I can trace over things and it's quick to do. If the comic had shading and stuff I find it really difficult to do (you have to push harder to increase the intensity of color, as a novice I need more practice) and the fact that you can't see what you're doing doesn't help; it's hard to look at the monitor, you can't see what you're doing but if you look at the tablet, you can't see what you're drawing ;) Often scanning in a hand drawn picture just doesn't look anywhere near as good as it does in real life, I'm not sure why this is, so if you think using a tablet to trace the image would help, I can do that. This is just an offer, if your sketches look great when scanned or are too complicated don't worry about it. If it's just a simple comic like a newspaper comic say in the mold of Calvin and Hobbes then it might work (although I'm not sure how I'd go with color...) --Xasxas256 23:32, 24 May 2006 (CDT)


 * I can do both styles, it all depends really on what we decide the style will be. --Karlos 00:04, 25 May 2006 (CDT)


 * Hi all, back from vacation! Its good to see that some progress is happening. If you can give me something to look at I could create a nice idea for a comic strip which suits the drawing style. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] 14:41, 27 May 2006 (CDT)
 * And there is no need for every strip to use the same style. It might add more interest if the style is changed accoridingto the things in the strip. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] 14:42, 27 May 2006 (CDT)

100% Exploration..
If you want, post your map somewhere (as high res as you can) and I can help you. At 99.9% I assume you just need to scrape a few places. --Karlos 01:29, 8 June 2006 (CDT)


 * I've been laughing a lot the past few days. I've been comparing my map to TCFish's "100% explored map", which is actually missing a LOT which I have. Unfortunately a lot of the map doesn't count for anything. I am going to put my map somewhere with maximum detail (possibly in parts), but I think I know what I'm missing. There is a tiny tiny foggy area on the border of Abaddon's Mouth which I might be able to get, atleast according to TCFish's map. Thanks for the help thou. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] 01:53, 8 June 2006 (CDT)


 * It's pretty frustrating. And scraping is extremely dumb, and extremely boring. Basically, even if you see that an are has "nothing" beyond it, you need to go all the way to the wall and walk around the edges. Very zzzz. My advice to you is forget about the looks of the map, a map helped me get about 0.5% to 99%, at which point my map looked better than that map ;), but the last 1% I got all from scraping. Start with the stuff you can easily solo, like Ascalon. Scrape every inch of every perimeter wall, and you'll be surprised that after a few areas you'll have your 0.1%. --Karlos 02:25, 8 June 2006 (CDT)


 * As I thought, it was parts missing in the RoF islands. However, I got there throught the Hell's precipice mission, not the Abaddon's Mouth mission. GREAT FEELING! Okay, now it's time to get 100% maps for the wiki. (Especially the missions need better maps) Doing this soonish. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]]  17:00, 8 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Congrats! :) I know I was darn proud when I finally got it over with. :) Hells' Precipice has a big chunk that people skip because of the cutscene.
 * For missions, remember it's more important to have a smooth and clear route, than a fully explored map. So, make sure to recap the path on the new maps. --Karlos 21:28, 8 June 2006 (CDT)


 * I am going to do the mission maps by searching the best route in the game and photoshopping the route nicely, as I did in Dunes of Despair, Abaddon's Mouth and Ring of Fire. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] 02:39, 9 June 2006 (CDT)
 * You guys need to get out more :P Alright fine I'll admit that I am jealous, why isn't there a number of deaths title? I could so grand master that! --Xasxas256 02:44, 9 June 2006 (CDT)


 * I would also like a deaths title for my ranger as I can't get the survivor one anymore. :) --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] 02:47, 9 June 2006 (CDT)

Community portal
I reverted the archiving there. You might want to repeat your comment done in the archive on the main page. --Xeeron 18:47, 18 June 2006 (CDT)

Tizzyesque
Remember that Tizzy person who used to have a spam section on Skulds' page? Well this isn't in relation to any edit you've made (or any edit I've made), it's just me dropping a line. Anyway after watching the dust ups of revert wars and sockpuppetry, I'm glad you're taking it so well, personally my feelings is that the overall quality and credibility of the GuildWiki is being eroded with this stuff. I have no idea what to think of Stabber now, I think we were two of her (yes I'm still going with "her" for now) staunchest supporters. I don't feel like I've been played or anything but really I don't know what to think. Because we're on a soccer kick at the moment (ooh that's good one), is it kind of like George Best, you know do you just remember the contributions the person made, do you have to factor in all the other stuff? Anyway because you're taking this far better than me, I am happy to kick in a penny for your thoughts to see the other side of the coin (oh man am I on a roll). You might be sick of thinking about this stuff, if so that's totally understandable, I'm sure I'll catch up with you later. --Xasxas256 05:15, 19 June 2006 (CDT)


 * You didn't notice my wikistress is on nopants again. I'm taking this better than anyone else in the wiki, but I still keep my comments as if I would take this seriously. (In some way I still do take this seriously) I'm in a summer mode, sun shining, and nothing can get me out of it. (Unless Kalmoeli dumps me, which will not happen) I'm not really sure what to think, so I'm trying to ignore the past days and think of Stabber as the Stabber we all knew. I miss that Stabber, even if he might have been the imagination of someone. I don't regret anything I said, because thats what I would have said if Stabber was what she seemed to be. Now that the situation has changed, I probably wouldn't say everything that I have previously said, but for me only a few things have changed. If Stabber starts contributing again, I will think of her just like I did before, ignoring everything sock related. Wether or not F G is proved to be a sockpuppet or to not be one, I will still think of him as I think now, a poor mannered idiot.
 * I don't know if that was readable and understandable or not, but in short: In future wiki realtions I will react and think of people like no one would be a sockpuppet. So the same man behind different users could be admired by me and hated by me at the same time. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] 06:21, 19 June 2006 (CDT)


 * If you're happy to remember Stabber by the positive things she did for this wiki then that's good enough for me. Some people (although not all) seem to have forgotten just how long she's been around and just how much work she's done. Although this sounds like a eulogy, Stabber could come back of course but I'm not holding out much hope.


 * I'm no fan of F G either, his behaviour is just...weird.


 * It's bloody cold here, it'd freeze the balls off brass monkeys (sorry there's some sayings that just don't get enough usage!), it was 4 deg cel when I got to work this morning. Maybe that's why I'm not looking on the bright side of life. Or it could be the whole 1 hour of sleep I managed to get last night (because I was watching Australia v Brazil). Still much as things get you down (old ladies being beat up and robbed over $10, hit and run motorists, the usual doom and gloom on the news) there's still things that put a smile on your face. I fell asleep on the train today and some lady was nice enough to tap me on the shoulder and wake me up at the main station (where everybody changes trains), you know little acts of kindness. Anyway I hope you're enjoying the Finnish summer, long walks along the beach and all that ;) --Xasxas256 07:10, 19 June 2006 (CDT)


 * I'm enjoying the sun, ice cream and the girls. (Okay, Kalomeli certainly has something to say about the girls and about my being in the wiki whenever I'm in a place with a computer) I just went out with Kalomelis dog, but it was too hot to stay out for a long time. I'm more of a cold person. I only wear a t-shirt during the winter (Winter in Finland IS cold) and I'm almost dying if I need to stay long in the sun. I wish we could have 4 deg celcius here, but still keep the brightness of the summer. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] 07:17, 19 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Can I ask what "hot" is in Finland? Because here hot is synonymous with "bushfire season", that is the combination of searing hot tempretures (over 40 degC) and energy sapping northerly winds which are a catalyst for bushfires. You know funny thing is, I used to be tough, even in the really cold mornings (ie 0 to 3 degC) I used to wear shorts, I'm getting old and frail I think! In summer the correct attire (in Aussie lingo) is a wifebeater, a pair of stubbies and thongs. --Xasxas256 07:32, 19 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Shorts in about 0 degree is nothin in Finland. :D Less than -20 is considered cold. 20 degree is warm here and 30-40 is hot. For me personally 20-30 is allready hot, I just don't cope well with heat. (Sauna is a different matter ofcourse) --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] 08:00, 19 June 2006 (CDT)


 * "I'm enjoying... the girls. (Okay, Kalomeli certainly has something to say about the girls...) I just went out with Kalomelis dog" <- that last part came out wrong o_O""" - 08:05, 19 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Hahahahahha. You can't imagine the laughing just now. Just so that you know: The dog is a boy and he needed to take a piss. (But girls do love dogs and stop to talk if I'm taking the dog out ;) ) --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] 08:18, 19 June 2006 (CDT)


 * I've really got to stop talking like Crocodile Dundee everytime I put something on a talk page. I don't know if anybody else finds this but joining a voice chat channel with non Australians (which happens a lot of course) suddenly means I have to use the word mate at least once in every sentence. Maybe you don't get the same thing, Finnish lingo and sayings probably work best in Finnish, rather than English I guess. All this world cup action means I'm bursting with national pride and I think it's taken over the language centre of my brain! I do apologise, I've taken the first step by admitting I have a problem! Maybe I should decorate my user page with a green and gold background...no no that's not helping!


 * Ha ha ha!! Like I said you enjoy those long romantic summer walks along the beach, no matter who you're strolling with!! I think you being on the GuildWiki too much is the least of Kalomeli's worries! --Xasxas256 08:23, 19 June 2006 (CDT)


 * "The dog is a boy and he needed to take a piss." <- and because we are already on the wrong side, this made it EVEN WORSE, ewww o_O""""" - 08:26, 19 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Xas: At the moment the wiki the worst one. I've been with her for 51 hours now if we forget about the small walk with the dog. My time in the wiki during the 51 hours has been pretty long. Maby I'll go away now.
 * Pan: You should get some sleep or a girl. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] 08:28, 19 June 2006 (CDT)
 * If a friend of mine were to get that comment, he would've responded, "I sincerely wish I could get either, better if I can get both, and best if I can get one with the other." d-: - 08:31, 19 June 2006 (CDT)


 * I just don't know what to say anymore. ... --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] 08:33, 19 June 2006 (CDT)
 * As another friend of mine used to say, "If you don't know what to say, sing!" May Lyssa grant you the inspiration! - 08:36, 19 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Well PanSola, you tell your "friend"...nice one! Gem, despite your Real Life (TM) neglect, you're obviously doing pretty well for yourself, I wouldn't be too worried and leave your pants off, on the GuildWiki that is. (look how many indents back I am, I've got to start chatting with people who type slower!) --Xasxas256 08:37, 19 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Ok, I'll move on to Real Life now. I'll take a shower (and after some thought I'll leave out all comments about nopants and real life because I know Kalomeli will read this later if she is not looking at what I write now) --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] 08:43, 19 June 2006 (CDT)

Bestiary maps
While you're working on the icons, could you also check for bosses w/maps in the wrong location? The maps should go right under the beastbox template in the "wiki code" not in the location section. Check out Raptorhawk for what I'm talking about. Thanks. :) --Rainith 16:53, 23 June 2006 (CDT)
 * I am checking a few relly minor things out at the same time, like the alphabetical order of skills, the size of the images and if any part of the article is missing. As you can see I work with a huge speed, but I will try to look for this one too. I'm done for today, but I'll continue tomorrow. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] 16:57, 23 June 2006 (CDT)
 * No problem. Thanks for the help.  :)  --Rainith 20:04, 23 June 2006 (CDT)
 * I have fixed all of the maps from the bosses I went through. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] 04:56, 9 July 2006 (CDT)

Elite skill capture progression
How did you make the progression of the elite skills you have capped page?


 * What do you mean? If you mean how did I do the list on the wiki, I created the page under my user space in User:Gem/Lists. I copied the elite skill list from the wiki and put the strike tags around each skill that I have capped in the game. It's not an automatic thing, I need to update it manually. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] 04:56, 9 July 2006 (CDT)

"I'm An Asshole!" :P
Hope you don't mind the language, just change the header if you like :P. I think I owe you an apology mate! I've just had the most stressful of weeks I've ever had in my life and I saw that little post and it made me tick a bit! Gonna radically reconstruct my user area, so we'll se some changes in the future. Sorry about that anyway. Did you know that "I'm An Asshole" is a song lol! It's really quite hilarious, by Denis Leary. Google it and see if you can find a download or something! -- Saintly  17:00, 27 July 2006 (CDT)
 * You didn't seem aggressive or assholish (what a nice word :P ) at all. I thought you were in a neutral state of mind when writing your reply. See how words can lie? ;) No hard feelings. I hope you get better soon, I know how stressfull the wiki can be when your real life sucks. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 17:05, 27 July 2006 (CDT)

Yay first one to reply! I'm in ;) Do I have to bring a present? :P --Xasxas256 03:31, 1 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Welcome to the party Xas! A present? Sounds good if you have any left from Wintersday/character birthday/other source. ;) I'll be giving out free drinks to people as it's my 18th birthday and I'm not going to go drinking in real life. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 03:36, 1 August 2006 (CDT)
 * On my 18th I'm pretty sure I had coffee and amaretto because I was going to uni in the city and was all very posh and sophisticated, that was before I switched to a country uni and discovered goon bags but that's another story ;) Anyway well done mate and I'll catch you tomorrow! --Xasxas256 03:46, 1 August 2006 (CDT)
 * I'm not going to do the 'usual' drink untill you drop as I really much think it's stupid AND I don't really like the taste of any alchohol drink I have ever tasted. I also don't drink cofee, so I'll stick with water. :) --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 04:51, 1 August 2006 (CDT)

Necro Skills editing
Hi,

Thanks for working to add the images for the related skills. I do like the icons for skills you added however, the tables have been DESTROYED for the reading of the other pertinent information like skill timings etc.

If you are going to add the Icons for the skills can you please do it in a matter that fits the formatt for the rest of the tables. Please revert the table back to the original if you are not able to fix the tables to read properly along with the addition of the images of each skill. This has been a problem on other pages as well.

Thanks again for the time in your contributions. --ShmEk 19:54, 25 August 2006 (CDT)


 * This change has been discussed a lot earlier, I was just making it because no one else had done it. I know that the list is pretty unreadable so I started new discussion at GuildWiki_talk:Style_and_formatting/Skills. I made a suggestion which will both look nice AND be readable. If we can get this discussion ended soon, the skill quick reference lists will look a lot better. Please take part in the discussion if this is important to you (as it seems to be). --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 19:59, 25 August 2006 (CDT)


 * Thanks for the link. Still not sure why you would be satisfied with leaving the page in the condition it is and delete the phrophesies quest icon for skills obtainable.  Ya, to me it's important because I frequent the skills pages, and spent a great deal of time editing a plethora of table errors a while ago.  The first time I saw the cut and paste job to add icons quite a while back even left all the links in to the site they copied it from... thanks for removing that. --ShmEk 10:04, 27 August 2006 (CDT)
