User:Defiant Elements

= Poll = Alright, so I have been posting on wiki for about 6 months and I have been about as active as any other user, a little less than a 1000 posts a month and I am on every day. As most everyone knows, I am most involved in the build section, and in fact review every build in untested on almost a daily basis (Insomnia FTW), but I actually spend quite a bit of my time doing administrative stuff, i.e. reverting vandalism, settling disputes, reporting users to be banned, etc. And, since I do spend so much time looking at the build section, I would also be able to review the candidates for deletion quite frequently. I am pretty sure that I am reasonably well known around the wiki and with the changes being made to the build section (i.e. the nuking of the namespace and the rebuilding) I would like to be able to take a more active role in ensuring that if at all possible, we can have a working namespace for builds. I realize that more likely than not, I haven't been around the wiki long enough to be considered, but hey, if I don't expect to be considered I won't be hurt, right? So, to come to come to the point (finally) I would like to take a brief survey of anyone who visits my user page, would I make a good Admin. Yes, my huge ego probably plays a role in this poll ;), but I would honestly like to know. The question isn't whether people would support me, or whether I would win a nomination, but whether people believe I could be more beneficial to the wiki as an Admin. If people think I would help the wiki, I will consider nominating myself (if I can get over my fear of embarrassment), if not, well, then I won't.  I feel really awkward about asking this question, but what is the worst that could happen?  Well, I could be shunned, ostracized, verbally abused............. but....... *Prepares for verbal abuse and retaliation* here goes nothing:

'''Would I Be Beneficial to the Wiki as an Admin? (i.e. Would I Make a Good Admin?)'''

Yes:
 * A bit more self-confidence would do you wonders. :P but on a serious note, I've seen your work almost all over the buildspace; I've yet to see you handle a situation badly. I think you could do very well as an Admin. --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] Jioruji Derako.> 00:18, 19 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Get more involved, especially when it comes to policy making and discussion such as the new NOB and PNB build related policies then I'm sure you'll be ready to be an admin. Plus you never really lose your cool which is always a plus. --Lania Elderfire[[Image:Pinkribbonsig.gif|My Talk]] 00:22, 19 March 2007 (CDT)
 * I realize I haven't said a whole lot in those discussions, but I read them daily (and hourly) to keep abreast of the current situation, and, in fact, the problems we are having with the build section, and the possibility of having to rebuild the namespace from scratch is one of the things that prompted me to consider nominating myself for GW:RFA.

 * I'm actually not opposed to nominating you myself, which I can do if you have no objections--Lania Elderfire[[Image:Pinkribbonsig.gif|My Talk]] 01:12, 19 March 2007 (CDT)
 * I can't think of a reason I would want to object.... go right ahead. Defiant Elements  (talk ~ contribs)
 * Why not, how would you not benefit guildwiki. -- [[Image:Wingsthatheal-icon.jpg]] "Wings" 01:35, 19 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Oh right, forgot to vote :P. I dare not defy the elements. –Ichigo724[[Image:Ichigo-signature.jpg]] 01:37, 19 March 2007 (CDT)

No:
 * I don't see how you would benefit guildwiki, or what postive qualities you posses to become a Admin ; lots of edits and a negative attuide towards the builds section and other users does not make you mod worthy. 138.217.165.69 01:28, 19 March 2007 (CDT)
 * You're Solus... User_talk:Tanaric --Lania Elderfire[[Image:Pinkribbonsig.gif|My Talk]] 01:31, 19 March 2007 (CDT)
 * May I ask where this is coming from? I don't have a negative attitude towards other users, and, while I may think the build section is in need of some major changes, I am definitely not in the minority in thinking that.  As to the first part, I had thought I addressed how I might help the wiki reasonably well in the the first part of my introduction above.  Meh.  Defiant Elements  (talk ~ contribs)
 * (conflict with DE)Rofl, I was having a look at that myself just now. –Ichigo724[[Image:Ichigo-signature.jpg]] 01:34, 19 March 2007 (CDT)

= Contest = So, a lot of people have recently started contests, and I thought I would start one of my own. Similar to Nog64's, I am asking people to create builds. However, unlike his, my list of elites is not generated by a subjective view of what skills are good and which aren't, they are instead elites that currently have no builds anywhere on the wiki (i.e. Stubs, Unfavored, Favored, Untested). That way, people really get to exercise some creativity since no one has ever come up with a build. See my contest page here for rules, elite skills, etc.

A quote I found that was written about me after I had been posting on wiki for about a week. Just found it and I am quite happy. :) []

That was after a week regarding the speed of my posts. In actual number I have 5500+ (At last count) since 22 October 2006 when I first posted on wiki.

Suggestions

 * A Guide for Vow of Silence Builds that includes the variants for each secondary
 * Reasoning: Vow of Silence will work on D/Mo, D/any, D/E, etc. etc. and all of them are really just variants of each other. Therefore, I propose a guide similar to what Vallen did with Barrage build which simply takes the core D/any build and includes notes for each successive secondary.
