'''The Guildwiki Manifesto ''' The following is a rant, but read it anyway or the author will find you, and make the rest of your very short life very painful.

I've left, but it feels appropriate to leave a final message to the wiki, as my last footprint on the flattened civilian that didn't run fast enough that is the wiki. First, I would like to condemn Defiant Elements to a hellish torrent of wiki drama that will undoubtedly follow him around until he cracks. The reason behind this is that his favorite activities on the wiki recently have been causing mischief (Banjthulu), and creating policies, but those two are basically one and the same. I have never read all of the policies, I don't even know what half of them are called. But has that stopped me from being a semi helpful wikiogre? Not really. Why? Because a wiki is a information resource to the world, but once you find your way into the innards of the beast, you realize that the wiki is built on the backs of hundred of people. The basic structure of this wiki as it is (if you disagree with me, you're wrong.): Cornerstones: Admins (Not the new ones, Entropy, Skuld, Karlos, people who really had a most definite impact on it) Bricks: Individual Users (Not ones like Banjthulu or Maui, contributers who improve the content of the site on a regular basis) Flags: Individual Users (Like Banjthulu or Maui, contributers who are community only people, lately I've been a flag) Mortar: The Ethics of the Flags (The community has a huge impact on the entire castle (wiki), it has the power to hold through the strongest winds (GWW) or melt at the smallest incident (Maywick)) Now that we are all agreed that we know how the wiki works we can get down to business of dissecting it into small bite sized bits to analyze and dismantle until we get to the heart of the castle we have built. Their is no saying that has been invented that can really describe the wiki in anyway, so I'm quoting myself. When you look for all the hubbub and commotion in a castle, you look for the audience chamber, when you look for it in a wiki, look in the dungeons --Victor (Gigathrash) Felton, 2008. Look at some of the most disrupting and terminally important things that have occurred in the wiki. Many of them involve vandals, and all of them involve wiki drama, which is one step below regular drama, but still above soaps. When you have reached a level of self-confidence akin to mine (Most people refer to it as over-confidence, they're wrong.), which is I know I'm right, stop asking stupid questions, you will be able to take a step back and realize just how silly many of these things are. Policies? Policy is broken, policy is forgotten, policy lives on. Because a wiki has no formal body of government (Admins, Bcrats, or Wikia? BullSHIT) and we rely on a system of self government taking policies from anywhere else then out of the heads of the Flags is doomed to fail. So, why do we keep doing it? Because of one tiny little small incident when something got out of hand. Instead of making a long lengthy and unused policy that will just confuse more people then it will help. Remember when QDV was first introduced? What we did was make a long and useless policy that goes against most common sense, because one vandal got a long talk page because their weren't enough admins at the time. What should have been done was: Hand out a couple wrist-slaps (warning on their talk page), and gotten more admins to stop vandals before they can do enough damage and attract enough attention to creating a problem like this in the first place. However, it was not. The reason is because everyone wants an official stance on everything. WHY do we need an official stance on everything? I don't know. Someone please tell me so I can change that when I have complete control over the South Pacific in a Totalitarian rule, so I may stamp it out. The reason I am able to maintain such aloofness, combined with still doing the right thing, is because I PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS. In closing, I would like to leave a message for the following users, if you are not them, DON'T OPEN THEM. You won't get the joke.

Entropy When the great wiki warriors meet in Valhalla, I'll raise a mug to your presence. Maui+Ereanor I don't have to be able to see the future to know what will happen here. Just remember that you have to adopt. Maui You never really learned the lessons did you? Well, I might as well start now. Shadowcrest GLHFDD. Felix Omni Burn in hell. Felix (cont) JK, you're all right. Sorry about Maui, but Ereanor is more her type. (Human) Entrea Sumat- Suamtee, fuck it. You're last name is impossible to spell. Other then that, you're a good person. GLHFDD. GW Magic Group Shadow was the founder, but I was always the one with the most cards, and the most typos. Vandals If any of you ever do read this, feel free to piss off the people here by vandalizing, no matter how much you do, I will not rise from the grave to cut a swath of vengeance through your ranks. Welcome to the Black Parade kDWgsQhbaqU When I was a young boy, My father took me into the city To see a marching band. He said, "Son when you grow up, will you be the saviour of the broken, The beaten and the damned?" He said "Will you defeat them, your demons, and all the non believers, the plans that they have made?" Because one day I leave you, A phantom to lead you in the summer, To join the black parade." When I was a young boy, My father took me into the city To see a marching band. He said, "Son when you grow up, will you be the saviour of the broken, The beaten and the damned?" Sometimes I get the feeling she's watching over me. And other times I feel like I should go. Through it all, the rise and fall, The bodies in the streets. When you're gone we want you all to know We'll Carry on, We'll Carry on Though your dead and gone believe me Your memory will carry on Carry on We'll carry on And in my heart I cant contain it The anthem wont explain it.
 * 1) You are right, everyone who says not is wrong. ALWAYS.
 * 2) You don't have to be here.
 * 3) They need you, not the other way around.
 * 4) Don't stab them in the back when you can stab them in the face, that way you get to see the expression.

And we will send you reeling from decimated dreams Your misery and hate will kill us all So paint it black and take it back Lets shout it loud and clear Do you fight it to the end We hear the call to To carry on We'll carry on Though your dead and gone believe me Your memory will carry on We'll carry on And though you're broken and defeated You're weary widow marches on And on we carry through the fears Ooh oh ohhhh Disappointed faces of your peers Ooh oh ohhhh Take a look at me cause I could not care at all Do or die You'll never make me Cause the world, will never take my heart You can try, you'll never break me Want it all, I'm gonna play this part Wont explain or say I'm sorry I'm not ashamed, I'm gonna show my scar You're the chair, for all the broken Listen here, because it's only... I'm just a man, I'm not a hero Just a boy, who's meant to sing this song Just a man, I'm not a hero I -- don't -- care Carry on We'll carry on Though your dead and gone believe me Your memory will carry on We'll carry on And though you're broken and defeated You're weary widow marches on We'll carry on We'll carry on We'll carry on We'll carry We'll carry on
