Orders
Excellent work on the Orders article. Very well done. I love the tables. --Karlos 04:27, 23 March 2006 (CST)
 * SQUEEE! so cool. --Honorable Sarah 04:42, 23 March 2006 (CST)

Deleting obsolete articles
I've started a list of now-obsolete articles that we need to worry about: Community Portal. I think it is better to decide what to do about them en masse rather than have several individual deleteworthiness discussions. By the way, there are articles such as Lost Strongbox that people really did not want to remove from the wiki because of their historical significance. (I was in opposition, i.e., in favor of deletion.) &mdash; Stabber &#x270d; 13:10, 26 April 2006 (CDT)


 * k, thanks. i'll stop wandering around applying delete tags then. --Honorable Sarah 13:11, 26 April 2006 (CDT)

About your ja-1 box
お節介なことですが、it should be "簡単な日本語を話せます" or "簡単な日本語ができます". &mdash; Stabber &#x270d; 17:01, 26 April 2006 (CDT)


 * probably correct, but you should not be telling me about it. Japanese is the only box i used user:PanSola's template.


 * Ah, thanks. I just corrected the main category page. &mdash; Stabber &#x270d; 17:06, 26 April 2006 (CDT)

W/Mo Holy Hammer
Sarah, you might want to reconsider your comment on the talk page. The hammer is intent for PvP, where it works very well. In PvE, Frenzy warriors are meant to be used in combination with Protective Spirit or Spirit Bond. And it is indeed very strong against single foes. I played this one a couple of times on the Ring of Fire and never got complaints from the monks. For thorough testing in PvE, you might want to use this skill bar:

In case you're not familiar with the way of playing: Build up adrenaline with Flurry, don't worry about the damage. Rush to get close to your target and unleash Devastating Hammer -> Crushing Blow -> Heavy Blow -> Holy Strike on your target. Use Counter Blow in between sequences on mobs which attack to your softies to prevent damage. I hope I could help. --Nilles 16:52, 10 May 2006 (CDT)

Cookie!

 * "find even one instance of vandalism out of the last 500 edits, and you'll get a cookie from me."

Does it count if I vandalise something in hope of a cookie? :D &mdash; Skuld  16:09, 16 June 2006 (CDT)


 * HA! HA! i beat you to the punch, the link i included has hidemyself=1. i make no cookies for vandals! ;P --Honorable Sarah 16:15, 16 June 2006 (CDT)


 * The link you provided is an invalid special page :p :p &mdash; Skuld  16:35, 16 June 2006 (CDT)


 * well, i'm horrible then aren't i? fixed. --Honorable Sarah 16:41, 16 June 2006 (CDT)


 * You're cheating, half of those edits are by PanSola!--Theeth (talk)   17:02, 16 June 2006 (CDT)


 * half all edits are by pansola. but doesn't change the statistical insignifigence. --Honorable Sarah 17:11, 16 June 2006 (CDT)


 * You missed my point. I'm saying she has much more chances to get a cookie than any of us, since you used hidemyself=1! :P --Theeth (talk)   17:23, 16 June 2006 (CDT)


 * you get to make up the rules when you start baking. get to it! ;P --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 01:42, 17 June 2006 (CDT)

i think i did it wrong
well, it's not working right. the auto-sig button makes this "--Honorable Sarah 17:55, 16 June 2006 (CDT)", but i want it to be "--Honorable Sarah17:52, 16 June 2006 (CDT)" from my /Sig page


 * In the preferences put in the 'Nickname' box: and check the box 'Raw signatures'. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]]  18:00, 16 June 2006 (CDT)


 * hurray for working ;) --Honorable Sarah[[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 18:31, 16 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Add a space between your name and the image. It would look better that way. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] 18:48, 16 June 2006 (CDT)

OMG! OMG! OMG!
Effective ritualist guide someone loves me! --Honorable Sarah 23:00, 18 June 2006 (CDT)

Elemental Dragon Swords yes, Magic Dragon Swords no.
Sure, let Gaile worry about make an Ebon/Lightning (Plasma?) Dragon Sword - but imagine actual Chaos-damage on a melee-weapon. It ignores armour completely (there's a reason why Chaos Axes don't deal Chaos-damage, and this is it). Good-bye Sundering prefixes, good-bye to all combat-builds except for sword-users. Light/dark? Mehhh. I'd like to see that on axes instead :} &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 212.187.79.202 (talk &bull; contribs).
 * I think you have Chaos damage and Shadow damage confused. Chaos damage is readily found on mesmer weapons, whereas no weapon has shadow damage, which ignores armor.--&mdash;  xis10al  [[Image:Xis10al_sig_icon.jpg]] 16:23, 19 June 2006 (CDT)
 * you need to brush up on damage lore. light, dark and chaos are all "other", meaning they are not physical and not elemental (shelter and warding are useless), but ARE damage, so sheilds, armor and untyped armor bonuses will count. monk rods, necromancer trucheons, and mesmer canes do light, dark and chaos damage, respectivly. this would not unsettle the damage equations any more then those wands do. as for armor ignoring, it's fairly widely accepted that no type of damage ignores armor, instead skills ignore armor and deal a specific type of damage. --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 16:24, 19 June 2006 (CDT)
 * I believe we're on the same page now. I just misunderstood exactly what you were trying to state. --&mdash;  xis10al  [[Image:Xis10al_sig_icon.jpg]] 16:54, 19 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Chaos damage. Really, all it takes is a click. And now that we've both brushed up on our damage lore, I encourage you to imagine an armour-ignoring Final Thrust. Bit spooky, don't you think?

&mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 212.187.79.202 (talk &bull; contribs) 08:00, 20 June 2006 (CDT).
 * not entirly certain i like your tone. once again, chaos damage is NOT ARMOR IGNORING. it is "other" type damage. it will hit Mesmer's Armor at 60 AL, Ranger's_Armor at 70 AL, Gladiator's Armor at 80 AL, and Dragon Armor at 90 AL. the only difference is the fact that no bonuses exists against chaos damage. it would make base AL sets like Sentinel's and Tormentor's more popular in PvP. --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 09:27, 20 June 2006 (CDT)

Guild
If you are looking for a guild, feel free to pm me (Madam Foo). you might find what you are looking for. I already did :] Foo 07:08, 19 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Oh noes, not her!! &mdash; Skuld  08:30, 19 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Oh why? is she too honorable for us? Foo 13:43, 19 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Yeh we need more backstabbers and thieves, i'm having a hard time keeping it up for the whole guild :( &mdash; Skuld  13:45, 19 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Your complaint has been registered and discarded. have a nice day. Foo 13:50, 19 June 2006 (CDT)


 * If any of you scallywags needs a good guild, I can always invite you to mine. Our guild has a solid group of seasoned veterans. Due to this alliance business, we need to keep recruiting and I'd much rather have one of you guys than some noober. --Karlos 15:44, 19 June 2006 (CDT)

my beloved guild of refugees collapsed, and i'm kinda heartbroken over it. Bink of the pirates was kind enough to pick me up and offer me a home, not to mention dealing with the shrapnel of the grey rose implosion.

pirates is my 8th guild in 10 months, all have either collapsed or self destructed in my tenure, some more spectacularly then others. perhaps you don't want my curse mark on your guild cape?

I think i'd enjoy being part of a wiki-aware guild. everyone in the pirates was looking at me funny when i said i spent the whole night taking pictures and messing around in Photoshop for that Elementalist Headgear article. i'm honored to be invited, foo, but you'll have to give me some time to think about it. --Honorable Sarah 16:15, 19 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Take your time. I can't say we are a "Wiki Aware" guild, but we do have Skuld and me. you can always just try us out. no hard feeling :] Foo 16:20, 19 June 2006 (CDT)
 * And Bishop &mdash; Skuld  08:04, 20 June 2006 (CDT)

[[Image:Alliance.jpg]] & [[Image:Faction_(both).png]]
lol... great minds? --Jamie  07:57, 20 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Photoshop is my friend ;).
 * i noticed that about 4 hours after i'd uploaded mine. your icon is a bit cleaner. i'll flag mine for delete. --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 09:11, 20 June 2006 (CDT)

Use of Unsigned and Unsigned2
K gunna clear some things up for you. To use Unsigned 2, your history page needs to be displayed in CDT, otherwise it ends up putting in the wrong timestamp. You can simply use Unsigned to get around this and manually add your personal timezone to the end. If you want your history page to display in CDT you have to set your date in time in preferences to -5 hours or you have to manually add an hour to make up the time zone difference. Also, especially for unsigned2 you need to include it with subst: --Draygo Korvan 15:13, 20 June 2006 (CDT)
 * i though history was in server local? i'll go mod prefference to match format for timestamps now. no reason it should be in PST, since i can do the math if i want to figure out wikitime-local time conversions. thanks for the pointers --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 15:26, 20 June 2006 (CDT)
 * i always wondered why timestamps in history didn't match my time or server time. thanks :) --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 15:28, 20 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Well guildwiki itself hasnt been consistant with timezones. Currently it is CDT but in the future I wouldnt be suprised if we go back to UTC or even EST...--Draygo Korvan 15:35, 20 June 2006 (CDT)
 * here's a weird thing, US NIST time for CDT is, as of this edit: 16:23:20 --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 15:41, 20 June 2006 (CDT)

Rate-a-Build
Please do not introduce different voting schemes on each build talk page. If you want an option for delete, please agrue for it, like here, but having different Rate-a-Builds is not a good option. Why can you vote to delete some builds not others? Why is delete and unfavored the same? Why even include an category for stubb (since the build with the vote in it is still in untested)? No need to make the vouching process even more complicated. --Xeeron 15:57, 20 June 2006 (CDT)
 * i didn't realize there was a standard format. could you point to an example of the correct format i should copy from? I wonder the builds categories quite a bit, and might need to put up rate-a-build boxes again.
 * additionally, I think a nice flowchart for the builds process would be helpful, if I post one up here, could I extort you into verifying I've got it right? --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 16:54, 20 June 2006 (CDT)
