User talk:Defiant Elements

Hi
I think we've got enough of that for a while now. I for one would appreciate some of your ranting on entropy's bureaucrat page though. Lord of all tyria 22:37, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'll get around to posting there at some point. Unfortunately, I only know two of the candidates, but I'm sure I'll think of something (probably a more general wiki-wide rant which encompasses that discussion).  As to igniting drama, well... I need some way to amuse myself, don't I? ;) At the moment though, there's plenty of wikidrama goin' on (which is a large part of the reason I'm watching RCs at the moment to be honest).  To be fair though, I was considering creating a nomination for myself on that page with either an epic, long nomination reason (a la GWW) or an epic, short nomination reason (e.g. "Because I was bored") to see what kinds of responses I'd get, but I decided to take pity on GuildWiki (and on Entropy in particular).

 * Well... three down, two to go. Unfortunately, I have no real way of knowing how much sense some of my comments make, since I don't actually know the users in question. :/  [[Image:DE Sig Test 2.jpg|50x19px]]  *Defiant Elements*   +talk  23:55, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Long time no see, DE. I've missed you a lot. Not enough of the level-headed old timers left around here these days... :( Reading your approval of Auron, I have to say that as much as I like to rag on PvX for general crap (admit it - the place is ugly), it has had so much fewer major user disputes in relation to the amount of traffic it gets. So coming from you I think that assessment says a lot.
 * Oh yeah, and if you were nominated...frankly I wouldn't know what to think. Like many of the old-timers, you've been pretty much dead here for so long that I almost did not know who you were when I saw your name in my Watchlist. While I personally know that Auron keeps an eye here even when he doesn't contribute, I was not/am not aware that you do the same; so I would not be totally comfortable promoting you. You're otherwise qualified though, no worries there. Anyway, yeah, it's good to see you back even if it may only be for a little while. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 03:44, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Heh, it's nice to be back. About the old-timers, that's the sad thing I suppose, I have some fond memories of hours spent on GuildWiki, but post builds wipe, my interest really died out, and on those rare occasions that I check in, it's sad to see GuildWiki's current state.  Nowadays, I doubt there are more than a half-dozen serious GuildWiki contributors who even remember who I am -- it seems like most everyone who was anyone, with a few notable exceptions of course ;), moved on to GWW or PvX or both.  And yeah, PvX is full of crap -- I'll be the first to admit that -- it's a problem we've been trying to remedy of late to be honest, but it has its positives.
 * And about the nomination, that was truly a joke (I thought it might be funny to see how many comments of "Who?" and "No way!" I got -- I suspect the number would be high). I drop by every once in a while to see what's goin' on, but I would definitely not go so far as to say that I've been keeping an eye on things here.  I'm starting to vulture GuildWiki's RCs again, but I doubt I'll have the impetus to make a serious foray into rejoining the community in a major way; besides, I'm gonna be away most of the summer, so I'd make a terrible backup :P.  And I highly doubt I'll do much in the way of posting (maybe on the occasional discussion), but yeah, I'll try to be around for moral support if nothing else (even I've been having trouble wading through the wiki-drama that seems to characterize this place of late).
