 * To be completely fair, I've been really quiet on the wiki for the past... month maybe, so not too many people are keeping an attentive eye on my talk page. :D --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> .cнаt^  16:21, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Keeping a fairly close eye on my watchlist, checking deletion/banning candidates, and mostly hanging out on Gaia and deviantART (and Bulbapedia, mainly because my admin duties there are minimal at best). Aside from that, I haven't been doing much, not even playing Guild Wars recently... (minor computer problems are to blame, I suppose.)
 * So I'm basically on hiatus from everything, everywhere, but still keeping an eye on everything. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> .cнаt^  18:31, 22 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Don't worry; you'll always be one of the many on my Watchlist :P You just happened to archive when I slept (well, woke up and went to school more likely). --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage 19:36, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
 * To be fair, I did archive at an ungodly hour of the night, here... hell, I'm pretty sure I even picked a crappy time for Europeans as well. Results of a sleepless night, in an attempt to end my sleepless nights (so far it's worked, depending on when I wake up tomorrow). --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> .cнаt^  03:34, 23 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I apply that theory/therapy myself, too. Just go to bed around 10 o'clock... in the morning. And continue staying up long untill you're back at a normal time to go to bed. And try to keep it there... But that's hard if you have a tendency to skip a night's sleep. And, there's another LAN party coming up this weekend (in fact, tonight it begins :P ), and that means a LOT of WC III TFT and CS. And very little sleep. Oh well, I'll have to live with it I suppose :D --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage 11:25, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, my plan worked so far; I woke up before my alarm (alarm was set for eight thirty, but I woke up at six thirty).
 * It's generally not my favorite method of fixing my schedule, if I can, I prefer to just go to bed early. But there's a point where that just doesn't work. And it's even worse if I somehow get in a slightly depressed mood, because sitting awake in bed for hours does not help me in that regard.
 * But I'm quite proud of myself! I managed to go for twenty-eight straight hours yesterday. Scary part; at about the twelve-hour mark, I was nearly falling asleep standing up, and by the twenty-four-hour mark, I felt like I'd just got up. Hell, I had trouble going to sleep (bouncing around my room). --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> .cнаt^  12:58, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Sadly, I don't think I actually broke any record of mine with that. I'm almost positive I've broken thirty hours once or twice. (but I was tired at the time, so I can't tell.) --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> .cнаt^  15:15, 23 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I can say with fair certainity (is that even a word? ) that I've a record of at least 38 hours ^^' LAN weekends with a lot of snacks and cola makes you forget to sleep... --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage 15:19, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Oh, I can tell you a bit about the weirdness at twenty-four hours. As you probably know, the body is subconsciously governed by biological patterns called circadian rhythms. Whether or not you've gotten any rest, you will feel more alert at the time when your body is used to waking up. It's called the second wind effect. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 05:31, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmm... That would probably be why I always get drowsy at about 8pm, because when I used to work 1st shift, I would always go to bed by 9pm to be up by 5am. Working at 10pm is so god awful.-- [[Image:Isk8.png]]   I~sk8   (T/C) 05:34, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeh, otherwise known as your "biological clock". I've been getting up at nine a.m. lately, and I'm waking up tired... going to bed at midnight, and feeling all fresh and energetic. It's fading slightly though, as my body gets used to my new schedule. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  14:31, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but I've been working 3rds on and off for 3 years... and straight for about a year... so, I should be "used" to it by now... my body is just stubborn. -- [[Image:Isk8.png]]  I~sk8   (T/C) 14:36, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * There was a point where I did wake up feeling energetic, so I know it's possible. :D I've just been on a nocturnal schedule for a long time, so it'll take a bit of work to get off that "setting". Doing active things early in the day (I enjoy bicycle rides) is a good way of telling your body "hey, time to wake up". --[[image:GEO-logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  14:40, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Oh, yes. I got this friction burn on my knee from rubbing against my Nintendo DS, and I'm missing skin on my shoulder from sitting on the couch for too long. I certainly would never go for a five-mile bicycle ride almost every day when I could be leveling up my Pokémon team or pwning noobs in Alliance Battles. And... oh wait, nevermind. I do take martial arts. Was on a roll there. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  05:08, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi my dearest Geo
It is your stalker, coming to wish you a happy twentieth birthday. It is a leap from your teenage years and your childhood, to adulthood. Those years will be left behind, but you must never grow out of your fun. You might delve deeper into work now, but never stop learning. You might seek out new relationships, but don't forget to maintain the old ones.

With my best wishes for your future, -- Nova 02:17, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

AB Story
Your AB story warmed my heart. No matter what class or build I play, I do a fair amount of running away in AB, for strategic purposes of course. I'm always amazed at how many people don't understand that what they perceive as cowardice is in fact intelligence. And it's always the dead ones who flame "noob" the most. That makes it all the more rewarding when you have 5 people training behind a cripshot while the rest of your allies are off enjoying unhindered capping. Thanks. <font color="#4056b2">Lazuli 00:11, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

 * QFT Laz.
 * Some of my best moments have been playing as a 'Sin. It's extremely common to jump on a target, and have to disengage halfway through the kill... and almost as common to have the target laugh and announce what a failure you are, trying to kill them and running away halfway through. But the best part's always when you come back ten seconds later and finish the job (if you're lucky, you can jump them as they type). Too many times I've had to counter in Local chat with "sorry, wasn't trying to be so cheap. I'll let you regain your health next time." --[[image:GEO-logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  06:23, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Got any more stories? I've read these at least three times through - a bit of humor when I'm feeling pessimistic about the majority of the Guild Wars population. I must say, SS is one of the best skills in the game. Qing Guang 01:20, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Don't have any new ones recently, but I'm always on the lookout, haha. Lately, I've been killing lots of people with Insidious Parasite, but I haven't gotten complaints about it... --[[image:GEO-logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  04:47, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * ...ah, there was the Warrior I killed recently... he didn't complain or anything, but he died to SS and Price of Failure. For future reference, check how many hexes are stacked on you before you use Hundred Blades. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  04:49, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Haha, ouch. And THAT'S why I don't run my MoR Blades ele in PvP (aside from the fact that she'd be laughed out of the arena, that is). People really need to pay more attention to these things. At least I finally taught my guild leader to notice hexes... but only after I killed his warrior twice in RA with SS-IP-Empathy, hehe. Qing Guang 05:30, 16 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I've taken to running toolbox Lyssa's Aura Mesmer, lately... just because you have enough energy to spam both Empathy and Backfire left and right.
 * I've noticed a pattern; if I cast Backfire on a Monk, they just stop casting until it ends. If I cast Empathy on a Warrior, they keep attacking until one of us is dead. >.<
 * And I'm not entirely positive, since I didn't see him actually use the skill, but I'm pretty sure I saw a Warrior Frenzy through my Empathy. All I know is, there's nothing on my bar other then Backfire that normally does over a hundred damage (and I don't cast Backfire on Warriors), and I was already dead when I saw the damage numbers pop up... --[[image:GEO-logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  06:05, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Nuuu my IE decided to jump back five pages in the middle of my comment... pheh. Anyhow, yeah, I've seen the same thing. There are a few Monks who'll cast through, though, especially when I slap Wastrel's Worry on them. Then it's "sit there and let the warrior and WW kill you" or "try to cast WoH and take 200 dmg from Backfire + Power Spike". That's the best part of mesmering - creating no-win situations.

 * Yeah, you keep your character images mostly the same as they would appear in-game, while Rvngt adds distortions/manipulations to emphasize particular aspects of te characters. Though I do remember that most excellent image you had once, of your Assassin wielding Kamas and "falling" at you face-first. Can't find that... [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 14:58, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

That one would be here. And actually, that fits in with my other character images; it's also a screenshot (took a lot of tries to get the timing and camera angle right, but it's a screencap of Blades of Steel). --<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  13:00, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I tried really hard to get a good Blades of Steel screenshot, but it's too fast for my reflexes. Then I tried running GW with a max 1 FPS and it crashed :p What was your secret? (I want to get the "flip" at the beginning, since I could never figure out how to get your angle - stairs?) [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 18:48, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I used the dummies on the Isle of the Nameless so I can fire off the move, and simply zoomed in just enough that I could aim upwards with the camera. (I actually zoom in by aiming the camera upwards, which drives the camera into the ground and slides it towards your character).
 * And one trick I've been using to capture tricky timing is to hold Shift in advance (so screenshots don't include the UI), then as soon as I use the skill, rapidly tap the Print Screen button. It'll look like you're lagging out, but when you're done, you should have like five-ten screenshots of the skill in action. Delete the ones that don't work, repeat if you have to, and eventually you'll get the shot you want. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  19:31, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmm...I've been doing the rapid tap, but after couple hundred-thousand screenshots it seemed like it wasn't worth it. It also ate up all my virtual memory. :] I wish you could trigger attack skills and spells with the UI off; it's so annoying to have to enable it, activate the skill, disable the UI, and mash printscreen. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 19:57, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I forgot to mention that. Sometimes it doesn't work. But yeh, that's why I hold Shift instead of disabling the UI, it's much too slow otherwise. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  20:49, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Isn't there a key combination that hides the gui for normal usage? --JonTheMon 20:56, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Ctrl + Shift + H is what I know, and it's the one I speak of. You can also start GW with interface totally disabled, but then you can only capture pictures of autoattacks and such. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 21:26, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Yep. You can Ctrl + Shift + H, disabling the entire UI; however, like Entropy mentioned before, skills don't activate right anymore when you're in that. Starting the game sans-UI makes it tough to login, obviously. And the third method is to hold Shift as you take screenshots, which will "blink" the UI, so the UI isn't visible in the screenshot. That's the method I personally use. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]]<font color="#237d00"> Jïörüjï Ðērākō.> <font color="#237d00">.cнаt^  13:08, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
