Welcome
Hi Mendel! I'm Isk8, I play GW too! All kidding aside, welcome to Gwiki! --   I~sk8   (T/C) 06:42, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you. mendel 06:48, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * It's nice to see that you've made an account. I was hoping you would. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 18:12, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you. This doesn't necessarily mean that I edit more, I'm still a casual player of GW and casual user of Guildwiki, but I thought it'd help if I got myself into arguments.... mendel 18:16, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * OMG, Isk, you don't actually play GW??? d-: -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 09:52, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

well well
Its not often we get new members taking such an interest in the very goings-on in the wiki. Good job! :) &mdash; Warw/Wick 14:30, 28 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you! I've been using the wiki for half a year now and doing occasional edits, so I'm not exactly new. Best way to get into it, too. I hope you're not too miffed about my wondering what your bot does. I'm sure my first attempts at botting aren't going to be smooth sailing, either. mendel 14:32, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd advise starting with somthing simple, like AWB (search wikipedia for it- Auto Wiki Browser), then moving on to more advanced stuff, and if you screw up with the advanced stuff, go back to the simple stuff! d-:. I've been using my bot for a number of things. Recently I've been doing testing about trying to give the bot its own "mind", as you can see from its randomized contribs list. Its not working very well d-: &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png]] Warw/Wick 14:35, 28 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Also, without a Bot Flag (request here) you maynt run full-auto bots. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage 14:36, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Viper hates the RC spam you get. :P &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png]] Warw/Wick 14:36, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Who says and how would you know? ;-) (mendel)
 * 'cuz viper told me ingame a while back ;p &mdash;[[Image:MaySig.png]] Warw/Wick 14:38, 28 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I know by the RC spam, yes (HAAAATEEE). A bot really stands out as other edits are only singular edits, and irregular. If someone's crashing RC with exactly 4 edits per minute and exactly the same edit each time... --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage 14:39, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

.js
The part you copied from me is only good here for now --Gimmethegepgun 23:30, 28 May 2008 (UTC)


 * If you change your template to use pvp_ prefix instead of _pvp postfix, you can use it with mine. mendel 23:37, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Regarding the role of policy
I noticed your discussion on the AN about Entropy's decision to deflag completely inactive Sysops. As far as the question about "the role of policy" is concerned, you might want to check out some of the Wikipedia essays in the "references" section on my user page (assuming you haven't already) and then for good measure read [http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Guild_Wars_Wiki_talk:Elections/2007-12_bureaucrat_election/Defiant_Elements#Possibly_the_best_thing_for_this_wiki.2C_and_he.27s_shot_down. this] -- by which I mean the discussion between Tanaric and Xeeron. This comment is predicated on the assumption that you're interested in the policy question; if not, ignore it. *Defiant Elements*  +talk  03:10, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
