Rare mini pricecheck please!
If anyone knows the recent going prices for the purple ultra-rare minis, I'd really like to know. Heard that Grawl was about 100+20 - 100+35. No clue on the other three or if this one is correct... Anyone know? Thx. RoseOfKali 19:22, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Now that I think about it, pricecheck all of these if you can.

If you have a different price than one that's listed, please post your in addition, do not remove the previous. Add your source if you can, like did you see it for sale or just heard a pc or saw someone buying. All undedicated please. Thx much. RoseOfKali 19:28, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Greased Lightning - 1000e pc
 * Polar Bear - 1500-1750e pc
 * Vizu - 450e pc
 * Kanaxai - $5,000 USD on ebay... O_O
 * Ghostly Hero - 1100e for sale... 1500e pc... 1000-1750e pc
 * Shiro'ken Assassin - 800e for sale... 650e pc
 * Zhed Shadowhoof
 * Island Guardian
 * Panda
 * Grawl - 100k+19e bought
 * Longhair Yeti - 130e pc, 150e pc, 180e offer
 * Naga Raincaller - 130e pc, 220e for sale, 370e for sale
 * Oni - 200e for sale, 250e pc, 100k+70e (90e) for sale ded, 300e for sale, 333e offer, 430e for sale


 * Don't pin me on it, but I think the prices for naga, oni and yeti are way to low. I think the naga is around ten times as much, but I am not sure. I have neaver seen a polar bear being sold, but I don't do things on e-bay. The rest of the mini's are bound to be very expansive, count on price around 500e - 1200 e.

1 tip though. Go and stand in Kamadan america 1 for a while and ask ppl for prices on these mini's. you'r bound to get some responces. Say so if the things i say here are mad ravings, so i can get my brain straigt. Arnout aka The Emperors Angel 11:43, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I already knew about Kamadan, but I don't feel like wasting time there. Anything up in the list that says "for sale" are prices that I have seen people selling them for, so your price estimate for Naga is either really really wrong, or the seller I saw was an idiot.

 * Oh, and I wouldn't even conceive the idea of buying a mini on Ebay, the Kanaxai bit was just something I find hilarious. RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 20:23, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I looked and asked around a bit. Greased Lightning 1000e; Ghostly Hero 1000e-1750e; Polar Bear 1500e-1750e. Hope it help. I can't even imagine having more then half a stack of ectos @_@ &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 13:29, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

 * I asked to be told if my ravings were mad. And they are! (YAY!) But I only have memories of Naga's and stuff being so expensive. And i was kinda right about the rest of the mini's XD Arnout aka The Emperors Angel 10:35, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Necromancer armor galleries
Please see User:Dr ishmael/Sandbox - I changed the template to set a fixed height, instead of a fixed width, for the images, so those galleries will look just fine in the template now. &mdash;Dr Ishmael 14:27, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Necromancer armor
Hello, I have a question about the male necromancer elite scars armor. What would you consider a "complete" gallery for that? The scars don't dye(the speedo doesn't either) and they look different on different skin tones. Thanks. Wanmoke 20:34, 8 September 2008 (UTC) Wanmoke


 * Well, actually, they don't look different on different skin tones at all. They are black, and so they're easy to see on light skin, and hard to see on dark, that's all.  It's kind of like the Istani/Sunspear armors that have a shaded skin area that you can only see on light skin.  I would suggest doing that gallery on a light-skinned character, and noting that the armor does not dye at all, and that the black scars do not stand out as much on dark skin as they do on light.  As far as colorables go, you can either ask Ishmael to modify the standard armor template to allow a non-colorable gallery (kind of a far fetch, since this is the only set in the whole game that does not dye), or you can just take the code straight and modify the colorables area to simply say that this armor set cannot be dyed.  Another simple solution would be to just use the standard template and upload the undyed images as dyed too, and including a note in the colorable section (check the template on which note # it is, I can't remember) saying that this armor set cannot be dyed, and say "any color" for the color field.  Also, if you really want to, you can use a dark skinned character in the colorables section, and say something like "this armor set cannot be dyed at all, but is very distinct on light skin, and blends in with dark skin."  If you need help with the code, let me know.  With exceptions like this one, the rule of thumb is just use common sense, and there usually isn't a "best" solution.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 20:52, 8 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Alright. Only problem is all my male necromancers are dark skinned.  >.<  Thanks for the quick reply thought.  Wanmoke 21:21, 8 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Actually, Wan's a guildie of mine, and I recommended he ask you about this. You're right, I could of course edit the template to allow an optional dyed section, but you're also right that this is the only armor where it would be used.  I like your suggestion of having images on light vs. dark skin, although we'd have to suffer with the current light-skinned images for now.  I have a light-skinned necro, but he's Canthan and I'd have to run him down to the Grotto to get the armor.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 21:26, 8 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Small world. :) I agree that the best way would probably be the dual skin tone set. We've suffered with the current gallery for long enough, a little longer won't make any difference.  I'd offer to run you to Grotto, but I'm not much of a runner, I mostly play casters. :P Anyway, you can have Wan do the 3 "colorable" shots on dark skin to show the "blending in" effect, and then get your pale necro to do the overview and component once you get it, since the scars are almost impossible do discern on really dark skin.  I think that would be the best way to go, and you don't have to mess with the template.  This follows the same reasoning as when I created dark-skinned mules to do the Nightfall Necromancer headgear screenshots - you can only see them on dark.  Colorables note: "Dye has no effect on any part of this armor set.  The black scars will blend in with darker skin tones." (or something like that, you're good with writing notes.) If you want to elaborate on the dyes, you can say that it will ACCEPT dyes, but it will have no visual effect.  I've tried dye-previewing this on my female's male mule, and I could preview every piece, but there was no color change, as you already know. Good luck.

 * Thanks for the offer, but we're good now, except for crafting materials. Wan has access to a friend's account who doesn't play anymore, and he had a pale male necro at Droknar's, which we took through the missions over to the Grotto last night.  If you've got any wood, dust, or feathers you'd like to give away, though, we'd be happy to take them. :D  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 15:17, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

"There are few if not no hackers that are not out to destroy the world."

Let's simplify that to "There are no hackers that are not out to destroy the world."

That means as much as "Every hacker is out to destroy the world", because there isn't one that isn't, so all must be.

Undo the simplification, and it means "All but a few hackers are out to destroy the world".

This doesn't summarize as "hackers are virtually harmless". --◄mendel► 22:30, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Wandering Eye
Ritualist_Cane? If not; fairly sure I saw it as a Rit Wand... Been checking some, this is the closest I could find. --- -- (s)talkpage  17:44, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I did look at that, and it's close, but not it. I guess we can say "similar to a Ritualist Cane." I actually looked through All wand, staff, and focus skins, and couldn't find a match.  Some Ritualist items do not have a picture, and that's where our target might be hiding, but it does look more like a Ritualist item rather than Mesmer.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 17:47, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, and a quick question. For some reason the wikipedia tool bars (like the control panel on the left and all the editing/watch this page/discussion/etc tabs on top, my watchlist/contribs links, none of that stuff shows up for me on any of the pages I open... WTF? I have to click-navigate through everything, or guess the target address and type it directly.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 17:51, 19 October 2008 (UTC)


 * O-o? That's weird. Do you have any .css or .js hacks? I honestly haven't a clue. They show up for me. Perhaps clearing your cache works? Bleh. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  18:01, 19 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I didn't do anything different from usual, and I've never used any hacks, add-ons, or other software, other than the google wiki search bar, which I've never used since installing it months ago. It just started like that today, and now I'm getting it to show up on some pages, but not others...  Also, sometimes my IE7 hangs up trying to open a wiki page (never happened like that before today) and gives an error when I try to close it saying that it may cause some undesired effects or some crap like that, but I click "Yes" and it just closes and that's that...  Weird...  O_O  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 18:06, 19 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Typed address for Wandering Eye in the address bar, it hung up. Trying to hit the "Stop" button to stop it from trying to load the page has no effect, it still says "Connecting" and just turns unresponsive to anything.  Tried to close the tab, said "This window is busy.  Closing this window may cause some problems.  Do you want to close it anyway? -- OK"  Closed just fine...  BLARGH!!!  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 18:10, 19 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Now using IE7 again, myself.. Wow, I miss ABP. Soo anyways, loaded a few pages after a while, and the toolbars generally loaded slow, but they appeared after a few seconds. This is probably because I didn't have anything cached yet. But this does show the problem, partially. Your IE stops loading the page before it's actually fully loaded. But; I've no idea why it is doing that. Sorry :( --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  18:14, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

I don't know what the hell is going on... >_< I cleared everything stored on my PC, internet files, history, all of it. It still does it, and it also doesn't let me upload images. When I hit the upload button it just clears the address of the image (in the "Browse" box). This is pissing me off... >:@ RoseOfKali  18:44, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

 * It also seems like running FF3 fixed the issues in IE7... Bizarre upon more bizarre... O_o RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 20:08, 19 October 2008 (UTC)


 * O_o" Weird. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  20:11, 19 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Pretty sure it's a JavaScript error, probably in one of the ads. IE gives me an "Error on page" warning, saying "'document.getElementById(...)' is null or not an object" at line 15, character 1, but I don't see anything like that on line 15 when I view the source.  I know that FF and IE have some small differences in how they build the DOM tree (the hierarchical structure of all the elements in an html document), so it's possible that this getElementById is able to find the element in FF, but can't find it in IE.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 20:20, 19 October 2008 (UTC)


 * But then how did running FF3 fix the problems that IE7 was having? :P Oh well... Damned incompetend losers coding cheap ads. >_< RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 20:26, 19 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh hey, so you're having the same issues with IE7 too. It's good to know it's not just me. Well, not really, since it would be better if it was just me, but...yah.
 * Btw Ritualist Cane is also the closest I know to the Wandering Eye icon. I've never seen anything quite like it in all my travels. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 14:44, 21 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Haha, so it wasn't just me. :P Running FF3 seemed to fix it for a short while, but now it's back, and I think this will be the time I switch to FF3 for good... RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 16:45, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

 * I did not "personally attack" anyone, my comments were generalized and un-targeted. Also, my note about Muslim women was valid in that they would be offended by the female character/NPC images, I did not say anything offensive about them.  Iran and other Muslim countries are about the only place on Earth where you would not publicly see revealing Western female clothing, or uncivilized lack of it.

Your trolling includes the whole Bonecage Scythe stuff, and there's also a general air of asshattery and hostility against users, particularly Shadowcrest. I'm not asking you to avoid providing arguments against deletion, but don't do so with attacks and whatnot; if anything, they'll overshadow any legitimate points your argument contains (as well as drive users off the wiki). -- R [[Image:RPhalange star.png|18px]] Phalange  01:11, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

 * So, I guess, nobody is bothered by the fact that I had nightmares of animated Bonecage Scythes chasing me? I was scarred for life by that image.  And I can find you a single offended user for about half of the pages on this wiki.  That is not an argument.  And this again is not an article of the Mainspace Wiki, it is a Userpage article, and many users here post all kinds of materials that are perfectly fine to the general population, but can be seriously offensive to some people.  Much more so than some fucking cleavage.  Get a Muslim in here, and she will be offended by every single image of a female character or NPC.  Goddamn, you people are so fucking stupid. (Oops, sorry, my bad.)  Oh, and plese point out who exatly is that single user that was ever offended?  Because it seems like you're defending a non-existent user, as I hightly doubt that Shadowcrest sees offense in some clothed boobshots, PUHLEASE.

 * Ah. :P Why, thank you for thinking of me as a valuable person to ask. ^_^; Well, people seemed to be ok with adding the monster counts for vanquishing to every area in the game, so I don't see a problem with adding faction numbers.  Especially since there's only a handful of areas to account for.  But, if the monster count is collected in a table somewhere, one could also be made for faction.  Though, such a table is unnecessary on its own, unless put into a "How to get faction"-type guide.  Forget about doing this for SS/LB, because those depend on where you start and when you get particular blessings.  You can quote me on this, if you like.

Since you might've missed it
The reason that delete tag didn't show anything was because you had a = sign in there, which made it think you were declaring a variable or field or whatever --Gimmethegepgun 05:01, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

NO REASON GIVEN
It's because you used an = in the reason. Anytime the wiki sees an = in a template parameter, it assumes that what's to the left of it is the parameter name, and what's to the right is the parameter value. So you had given it a parameter named  with a value of. It's a silly little quirk, so just remember not to use equal signs if you're not naming a parameter. &mdash;Dr Ishmael 05:01, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

J-1
Well, if a J-1 is this, simply point the agents to this website and all be cleared up in no time. But going by this report, if you have trouble proving that you've lived in your origin country for 2 years (or 15 months?), the outlook is rather bleak. :-( --◄mendel► 22:59, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * It's the bleak version, unfortunately. I've done 9 months out of the 2 years, so only 15 months left. They can't figure out how I was able to get a student Visa before the 2 years was up without getting a waiver, she even asked me if my waiver got lost or something, so our only chance is that they'll just throw their hands up and go "I dunno what the hell is going on, someone fucked up, let's get this over with." *sigh* Doesn't sound good, does it?.. RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 03:20, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, in a way the seems to have been: "If we let all these smart people in, they're going to like it (or somebody) here, and there'll be nobody smart left in the country where they came from, so let's force them to go back". Of course it can be cruel in a way to the people involved, but one can see how it is supposed to work politically. I seem to recall that in my country, if a person has the right to stay here indefinitely, so do his immediate family members, but I may be mistaken. Move to Canada? ;-)

 * Wut?.. After a J-1 program, participants are required to return to their home country for 2 years.  This was put in place after countries started complaining to the US that America was "stealing talent" by letting the participants of J-1 stay and get Green Cards.  So, decades ago, US invented the 2 year home residency requirement, which must be fulfilled in the country of residence, and nowhere else.  There is a waiver for it, but it's nearly impossible to get, especially in my circumstances.  So yeah, let's see if they fuck up.  If not, I gotta leave, after spending more than 1/3 of my life here and not having any contacts left in Ukraine... :( This is gonna be fuuunnn... *cries* Now there's a culture shock coming...

 * Not really... In the recent years, prices on gasoline, bread, milk, and meat have climbed up to about those in the US. The wages didn't, though...  Utilities are also hiking because Russia is pissed at Ukraine for "looking Westward."  Most people grow a good chunk of their own groceries.

 * Thanks. :) Now you have to tell me how you did that. :P RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 21:43, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I selected all the empty pixels with the Lasso tool, plus more which I thought were leftover artifacts (I dunno, it still looks like rose to me, so it's probably ok). Then I used the Eraser tool and set it to Background Erase. That eliminates most of the background. After that I hit DEL and then CTRL + X to eliminate whatever is left over. To check how good a job it was, I fill in the transparant areas with the Paint Bucket, set to pink or something. If the color is contiguous everywhere, I've succeeded. If some spots are less pink than others, then I need to select and CTRL+X them again. There are probably much better ways to do it, but that's what I do for now. It can be a real bitch with larger images... [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 22:24, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Magic Wand works great when everything is mostly of the same color, you are working with a large image where you don't care much about deleting a few extra pixels, and there are no random artifacts which you will have to go back and manually add to the selection anyway. So, it tends to fail like Danika zu Heltzer at healing if you are working with small images, especially icons. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 23:49, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Any player whos running Black blue red control should have it in the deck for an end game to complement their Cruel Ultimatum. So yes, it is very good, albeit expensive.  (Like your armor collection)--Łô√ë [[Image:Gigathrash_sig_G.jpg|Fear.]]îğá†ħŕášħ  03:40, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Ooh! Expensive present. XD I still can't get over the roses, they're pretty. I'm sorry I don't know like anything about the game, but just reading it kind of seemed like this would be powerful. So, can you take out opponents' creatures from the graveyard, too? So player B just takes out player C's most powerful creature, and you, player A, just go and steal it for yourself? That's f*in awesome! And how expensive is it, really? What are the blood drops and the skulls? Is that like a third of your life or something?  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 15:16, 10 December 2008 (UTC)


 * It's mana cost. There's a type of card (Lands) that give mana when tapped. This disables them for the turn or something to that sense. I haven't ever played MTG myself, but that's what I remember of what Prog once told me. Anyways, the blue blood drops are Water mana, Skulls are Dark mana. The (1) is a generic mana point; it can be any.
 * Also, I think the card implied that if any creature is put into the graveyard, you can steal it. Wait, I should read better. I misinterpreted "take out" as "take from the graveyard".
 * And I spotted a typo: "breathe life" rather than "breath life" :) --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  15:24, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Skulls are swamps and the droplets are islands. Under normal circumstances you get one mana per turn. Six turns are a lot in Magic :) and yes, you can steal any players creature that was about to die, but only in that moment that it dies. Silver Sunlight [[Image:SSunlight.jpg|18px]] (T/C) 15:28, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

How to (de-)color a thumbnail
This is the caption.


 * 1) put a thumb on the page and preview it
 * 2) grab the HTML code off the page source
 * 3) replace the image &lt;a> tag with image wikicode
 * 4) remove the stupid magifier &lt;a> tag
 * 5) add style="background: transparent;" to the thumbinner tag
 * 6) alternately, add style="background:somecolor;" (see Help:Color)
 * 7) add a caption in the thumbcaption div
 * 8) done.

(which can have the same results.) I'd give you a link to meta's help page on div tags, but... they don't seem to have one...
