Glad you liked my skill ^^; &mdash; Poki#3 08:04, 26 September 2006 (CDT)


 * Yeah, I loved it, and I wish they would add it to the game, would suddenly remove the stupid build :)

I made something for you, based a bit on the thing you wrote on the Nevil's Frustration page :P &mdash; Poki#3 08:35, 28 September 2006 (CDT)

Hey! I'm trying out a smiting monk too... quick comment on your build. With two knockdowns, Bane Sig and Sig of Judjement, why not swap one of your skills for Holy Strike? -Haakon 04:14, 19 December 2006 (CST)
 * I'm not really sure, but I really like the tempo of the signet skills (actually liked tempo better BEFORE they made bane siggy 1 second cast), plus 1 of the 2 main reasons I use the build is to humiliate people, and not much is more humiliating than "hey, I just got killed by Signet of Rage and I have no adrenaline skills, wtf?" --Gimmethegepgun 15:16, 19 December 2006 (CST)

Prophecies captures
Some captures are listed because it's reasonable someone will entirely skip Kryta and the jungle. --Fyren 21:27, 6 April 2007 (CDT)


 * Well it's not particularly reasonable for them to skip the desert, since they need to go there for the AP quests. The one you are probably talking about can be bought in Amnoon --Gimmethegepgun 21:28, 6 April 2007 (CDT)


 * It is because they don't have to be Prophecies characters. --Fyren 21:33, 6 April 2007 (CDT)

 * Visions of Regret ain't quite my style for mesmer, I prefer pissing people off as much as humanly possible (ex. Frustration+Migraine+3 interrupts, or Frustration+Ineptitude+Echo'd Clumsiness+Signet of Clumsiness). Both of these are EXTREMELY irritating, and hurt a lot to boot. And despite being a Smiting fan, entirely conditional damage/deterrents aren't my style. I'll join in next week's though --Gimmethegepgun 14:51, 25 April 2007 (CDT)

Vandal
Well, that vandal war was... interesting... Though I think with the sheer volume of pages he vandalized he deserves more than 1 week of a block --Gimmethegepgun 16:08, 13 May 2007 (CDT)


 * Blocks are preventative, not punitive. &mdash; Skuld 16:09, 13 May 2007 (CDT)


 * In any case, I just wish the block had gone through a few minutes earlier, but the world ain't perfect. Total 22 reverts/undos by me --Gimmethegepgun


 * Retrospectively thinking, 1 week ban is probably a bad idea, since it'll end on a weekend. I should've just gone with 3 days.  Anyways, the way I personally work is, for recurring vandals, bans get longer (roughly doubled) with each offense.  I don't support perm bans, because it can hurt innocent people.  I just experimentally figure out how long a ban is needed for the vandals to get bored and forget about this wiki and move on.  Usually 3 days is sufficient. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 16:14, 13 May 2007 (CDT)

Hitlist
Ehh, all of the builds I have ever created are stored in my own link, User:Entropy/builds, as well as User:Entropy/archives, which noone has ever really looked at or anything. It isn't a real archive per se, since it don't have histories or anything, but the builds that are there are what came before I posted any of them into buildspace. So it's all cool :) (T/C) 21:35, 22 May 2007 (CDT)

:D Don't wnat you getting in trouble
Althoough the revert you made is right (in my opinion) the reason I didn't revert is because of GW:1RV and I don't want you to get in trouble for it:D so just post on the talk page if you think it should be reverted and everyone's happy:)&mdash; Cheese Slaya  ( Talk ) 20:34, 30 May 2007 (CDT)

:/
I disagree with your revert. The anon summed up that unsightly, bulky paragraph in one line; the whole pre-searing thing isn't a scam, and shouldn't go here even if it was (it should go in the pre-searing guide, where the new players will see it). The "Quest Reward Collector Item Scam" also isn't a scam, and largely doesn't matter tbh. If you can reword that paragraph down to 1/5th its current size, I could see it staying; but as it is, it's a lot of wasted space on the page to discuss something that isn't even a scam. -Auron  21:34, 3 June 2007 (CDT)


 * Well, really the collector items IS a scam, because people think they're nearly worthless and sell them for crap and the buyer reaps huge benefits --Gimmethegepgun 21:35, 3 June 2007 (CDT)
 * No. It's only a scam if the buyer tells the seller that the items are worth nothing, which is almost never the case. 99% of the time, the buyer will just say "buying monastery credits, 100g" or something. That isn't a scam. -Auron [[Image:Elit Druin.jpg|19px||My Talk]] 21:36, 3 June 2007 (CDT)

 * Hey, can I just be allowed to get rid of those pics and update. Guild Wiki is not letting me login and so I'm being viewed as a Vandal. My wiki page is Wakleon, so leave me a response there. Thanks. And btw, great job catching changes.


 * Ah, I didn't know you wanted to delete it. Sorry, but blanking a page won't delet it, and won't get rid of an image at all, you need to use the  template --Gimmethegepgun 20:23, 31 July 2007 (CDT)

Totem Axe revert
I don't understand your removal of my edit on the Totem Axe article. The collector Winged Axe I linked to, from Gahnlar, has the exact stats of the the oter two weapons in that line, with +5 energy, so it can be used to reproduce a Totem Axe. Just add a enchanting mod and it's the same caster weapon. Please explain. Issa Dabir 05:04, 11 July 2007 (CDT)


 * Err... whoops, I messed up. I thought that it was stating that it was identical to the Totem Axe's stats, I didn't read the stuff around it. I'll go fix that then :/ --Gimmethegepgun 16:18, 11 July 2007 (CDT)

Arcane Echo revert
I'm not sure what you are saying in your reversion notes to my change to Arcane Echo saying it was first available in LA rather than Beetletun. If u are asking for a screen shot, u wont get one, because I already bought Arcane Echo on this character at LA! And I am not expecting to make another Tyrian character for quite awhile. If this isnt what you mean, please explain either here or on the AEcho talk page or on my user talk. Thanks. --Queen of Spades 13:50, 20 August 2007 (CDT)

For me, it always used to be the furthest to the right that dropped off. I haven't tried it since the earlier this week - so if it has changed to the one on the left that drops, then it would be as part of this update - so I think I agree with User:Mrxaero. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 22:35, 23 August 2007 (CDT)

comment plix plox
Sorta replying to User talk:141.150.183.70. I feel that asking obvious vandalism to stop only provokes the vandal. Your thoughts on a current policy proposal: Quietly deal with vandals would be appreciated. &mdash; ♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 01:58, 12 December 2007 (UTC)


 * My thoughts - if someone breaks a policy (like 1RV) or puts nonsenseical stuff in articles a few times then they are probably just messing around with editing tools or are ignorant. So leave them a short warning, especially if it is an IP - that makes a record of when the transgression occured. This is important when an IP belongs to, say, a library or something, because obviously different people use it all the time. However, if they continue to break policy even after the message then you can go ahead and ban, since they obviously aren't willing to listen.
 * If it is a legitimate vandal and it is a registered account, then it is used by just one person. Don't even bother with a verbal warning - the ban is good enough for that.
 * If it is a legitimate vandal and it is an IP, then I err on the side of leaving a message because again, it may be a dynamic or otherwise changing ownership IP, and it serves a useful historical purpose when someone else comes along and wonders why they are looked upon with suspicion.
 * If it is a persistent or heavy vandal - whether it is blanking, messing with userpages, or creating spam - ban ASAP to limit the damage, don't bother with a verbal. They wouldn't listen anyways.
 * Finally, always consider the severity of the offense. If it is a "grey area" or minor thing like GW:SIGN, or something arguable like RV'ing a perceived bad picture, then a verbal is probably better because of GW:AGF and because the accused may actually be correct. Bans don't work well when resolving disputes.
 * That said, as with Jedi's proposed policy, if you're going to leave a warning, try not to make it provocative (yes, I usually /fail at this). "Less vandalizm plx" is my typical, and that suffices. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 16:03, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
