User:Cobra3k has uploaded this file for use on his PvP character slot which often changes appearance. Unfortunately, this picture has a gray background and can thus only be used on characters whose profession is "any". If you (or somebody else reading this) could find or create a similar image (black shilhoutte in approximately these dimensions, or as a scalable vector graphic = .svg), with a transparent background, it would probably make a great default image for character templates. What do you think? --◄mendel► 22:21, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Default Character.svg Test this for transparency.--Łô√ë [[Image:Gigathrash_sig_G.jpg]]îğá†ħŕášħ  23:42, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Bah, not even a little transparent.--Łô√ë [[Image:Gigathrash_sig_G.jpg]]îğá†ħŕášħ 23:45, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
 * (edit conflict) If you look at the file with a text editor (it's got XML inside), you see that most of it is one big block of binary data starting with . So it wouldn't be scalable anyway. I used to have a program that could convert bitmaps into lines, but it's not installed now (was part of the Corel suite). --◄mendel► 00:27, 28 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Default Character.png I can't make a transparent svg, instead have a transparent png.--Łô√ë [[Image:Gigathrash_sig_G.jpg]]îğá†ħŕášħ 00:24, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Tsunami much. Are you alright/see any thing fancy? Sorry for the disaster tourism, but I just saw some footage of Japan, and I was wondering if it was even remotly as bad. Also from Smiling Eve, as this is her laptop I barrowed. Arnout aka The Emperors Angel 22:28, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I am fine. I live in the foothills far from shore, it would need 300+ ft. waves to reach us, and that isn't going to happen.  There was a lot of damage in the Waikiki and Honolulu regions, windward not so much.  One person missing, three injured so far.  Not nearly as bad as Japan, but you should check in on Auron, I don't know where he lives, so he might have been more effected.--Łô√ë [[Image:Gigathrash_sig_G.jpg]]îğá†ħŕášħ  22:33, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * omg....NOT WAIKIKI! I loved swimming there when I went...  I will miss that sand bar now that I know it's gone... ∵Scythe∵ 23:38, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I watch his page on GWW, he seemed alright, and not very scared. Atleast, the last time I checked. Arnout aka The Emperors Angel 19:45, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

 * That piece that I just posted had been going through multiple rewrites since I finished my last post. Originally it was going to have a much lighter tone, but with the seriousness of the meeting, I would just be very conflicting and jarring to readers to have the back and forth between the meeting and Sasha as I had planned, so Sasha's story gets scrapped until a time in which it would make more sense to have it, like at the beginning of chapter two, especially considered I had very little in head stuff this time around.--Łô√ë [[Image:Gigathrash_sig_G.jpg]]îğá†ħŕášħ  01:02, 25 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Might be best if it's at the end of chapter 1 (probably still during the meeting, lightheartedness is ok), since I'm planning to start chapter 2 at the beginning of the first fight (which will be revealed in the meeting to be a couple of days from then). --[[Image:El Nazgir sig.png|Talkpage]]El_Nazgir 13:41, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Yeah, I see the logic of this system...but I find it impossible to follow a thread like that without the context spelled out (as you have done above). Without the explanation (of which post was in reply to which prompt), I find I spend more time trying to sort out who was replying to what...and hardly anytime thinking about what people meant when they posted (not an ideal ratio).


 * A well-designed forum/bulletin board makes this kind of stuff easy; wiki talk pages make it difficult. Part of the problem is that folks don't necessarily follow the same pattern. (It's even more fun when two people carry on a convo by posting their replies on the each other's talk page...instead of on just one person's.)


 * Thanks for trying to get me on board. Sorry for being a spoil sport. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 08:23, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
 * A well-designed forum/bulletin board makes this kind of stuff automatic; on wikis we do it manually; this makes the wiki more work, but the advantage is that it's more flexible, the idea is that experienced users can help/correct other users when they get it wrong, and if you accidentally reply to the wrong post on an automated threading system, there's no way to correct it unless you mess with the system. I believe that's not a problem, it's just different.
 * We've never done the "reply on each other's talkpage" thing here, for precisely that reason. People are supposed to use their watchlist to keep track of important topics. I find it pretty hard to keep track of conversations on twitter for that reason. --◄mendel► 11:06, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

But, Giga, its Tuesday here already? Is something coming or not? Or if my impatience is annoying the fuck out of you, then please shut me up by writing the best piece the RPG has ever seen? Please? Arnout aka The Emperors Angel 14:56, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I know! I'm writing multiple parts at a time to catch me up completely to current time.  All of the pieces are in the preliminary stages, and none are coming along very well at all.  :/--Łô√ë [[Image:Gigathrash_sig_G.jpg]]<font color="Black">îğá†ħŕášħ  19:19, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

 * it's possible it's not actually off key, but it's notes that sound bad next to each other... Dissonant is the term iirc. for example, 1:21 has it, but the yeah after that doesn't. --[[Image:El Nazgir sig.png|Talkpage]]<font color="Green">El_Nazgir 12:56, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * There is a difference in that the "yeah" after "direct sum" seems to have a different lower voice; I can't really tell whether it's dissonant as it's a complex chord anyway, and to me it doesn't sound "wrong". --◄mendel► 13:47, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

Dude,
You can be frigging scary, you know that? But thank you... Arnout aka The Emperors Angel 15:28, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Let me be more emphatic: I am glad that you have taken drastic action to increase the chance that we will spend more community time discussing how best to serve our audience rather than rehearsing for the latest Soap Opera based on a tragedy by William Shakespeare. I have great hope that this will work. (Before this, I had very little hope that things would get better... and fears that things were getting drastically worse.)


 * Thank you, very, very much. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 17:18, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

I'm trying to improve the wiki and you're making it one hell of a job. Notrask 05:55, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * See my reasoning on the edit summaries and your ban.--Łô√ë [[Image:Gigathrash_sig_G.jpg]]<font color="Black">îğá†ħŕášħ 05:57, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

I see you're issuing bans where you deem one appropriate.
Reporting in.

My heart's in the right place, but that doesn't mean I can't make shit worse. If you feel a ban is appropriate, remember to factor in this. A three day ban would pass me by without inconveniencing me (although I would notice the block, and care).

Oh, and as a member of the community, thank you [regardless of if you do ban me ;)].  A F K When Needed 15:25, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I think your message to Scythe was effectively written and I hope he takes it to heart. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png|link=User:Felix Omni]] 15:41, 7 June 2011 (UTC)


 * The note was about an issue you saw and wanted to address.
 * The post focused on that issue and did not conflate it with other concerns, particular not with convos germane to wiki articles and policy.
 * It clearly distinguished between your opinion, your sense of appropriate behavior, and the actions of another person.
 * It avoids attacking the person by using rational arguments that combine the above: I (the poster) think this and these actions appear (to the poster to be) thus, which has this effect (on the reputation of the primary audience).
 * In short, it respectfully calls attention to ineffective behavior by a longtime contributor. I see nothing wrong with it and much to commend. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 16:18, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
