UO, wanna join?
Ok... Since ANet is being a bunch of obstinate bastards, I've taken up playing Ultima Online again. For those who get bored with GW and want something more old-school, come join me in UO Gamers: Demise free-shard.

"But RH, how the hell do i get in?!" Simple!
 * Get the UO client here.
 * Run it normally and let it patch up to the latest version (this may take a while).
 * Visit this place and download Razor.
 * Once you download and install Razor, click in the shard list box thingy and choose "UO Gamers: Demise." (the shard I frequent)
 * Just type in a username and password, and you'll get in.
 * You should be sent to the character creation screen, if you want to know more about how stuff works in UO, go here.
 * Choose one of the presets, or go "Advanced" and set up your skills/stats to your desire. One tip: Keep your strength in the high 40's at least, as it is (or can be) the most difficult stat to raise in.
 * Choose your race at the bottom (once you finished your stats and whatnot), Humans are good all-around characters with a very useful health regen bonus. Elves, however, are best suited for caster classes, as they get a +20 inherent bonus to their Mana.
 * Choose your sex, hair, clothing color, etc, and log in. Doesn't matter which town you choose, as you'll be sent to New Haven anyways.
 * You'll be prompted to give your e-mail address, do so; then check your e-mail for mail from the shard. It should come with an "authentication code."
 * Go back to UO, and type in the command given to you. You don't need to hit enter to chat, just type normally then hit enter.
 * Once all that's over and done with, you can go about playing around, and/or drop me a line in here and we can hang and I can give ya a short run-thru of how UO works.

If you're wondering who's me, my main characters are Siranush, Tyrant, and Hanzo.

Best regards to all who join. talk 18:13, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Ol' Andy Schlafly, proprietor of Conservapedia, never learnt him any books!
(Warning, trollish language ahead) Linky. Apparently, not only is he a blithering fuckwit who shouldn't have been let out of his basement some years ago, much less let loose on the internet, but apparently hasn't learned basic reading comprehension skills. Now, I don't expect much out of someone who is such an obstinate christfag, but I thought at least he could read!

You see, recently, some scientist concluded his test that he started some 20 years ago to observe the evolution of E. Coli bacteria; or rather, to force a certain colony on a certain evolutionary path (FEV only a few steps away, amirite?), more specifically, making them evolve to consume citrate as well as they could glucose. Anywho, it appears Mr. Schlafly didn't like what he read, or attempted to read until the ice cream truck inside his head came by (50 points if you catch the reference). Soooo, he e-mailed our scientist friend asking for evidence, and our homie Mr. Scienceman pointed him to his research paper, which detailed, METICULOUSLY, every step in their 20 some-odd years of painstaking research, and every mutation that occurred during that period. This isn't even the worst part! THE RESEARCH PAPER IS ON HIS SITE! You heard me right, the godamned paper is on his site, and all Dumbass had to do was read, which is apparently against his religion, or some shit.

Mr. Schlafly (hitherto referred to as "retard"), "skimmed" the paper, and replied to our biologist friend, once again, demanding data; and making a complete ass of himself in the process. This apparently got under the scientist's skin a bit, and he replied to him, basically telling him, point by point, what a douchebag he was being, and exactly what his research said. It seems Ol' Andy got stumped on that one (probably had a stroke because of all the words), and has yet to respond.

However, he didn't stop there! OH NO ES  ! He went on to post this little debate on his shit site, and some of his followers told him he was being a dick (LOL B&), some said he had trouble reading (LOL B&), but most of his cronies flocked to him like a massive retard orgy and congratulated Andy on pwning the evolutionist freak (LOL WUT).

Personally, I think this little fuck is loooooooooooong overdue for a deep, hard ass-whooping by none other than our bestest Internet Hate Machine, Anonymous. Not just for this latest fuckwittery, but for the complete line of bullshit his site forces into it's readers heads.

Andrew Schlafly, if you're reading this, I hope Raptor Jesus rips your fucking eyes out with his fucking talons. talk 14:56, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Data
Latin, it's datum, data. You can't get any more plural than that, and my dictionary backs me up in this. However, it is also a group noun, and when you use these to refer to the group as a whole, not its members, it is grammatically used in the singular. "The police have formed a line" (the men have) - "The police is your friend" (the group/insitution). I'm sure there are better examples. --◄mendel► 00:21, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I know, I just grew up having everyone around me using it in plural in the form of a group noun. [[Image:RHSig.jpg]] talk 01:14, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Personal Skin
Most of all, you find yourself a good tutorial on CSS (or read the standard on w3.org). If you need any help, feel free to ask, or explain what exactly you want to achieve. Installing the DOM inspector and the Web Developer plugins for Firefox is also a good idea. --◄mendel► 17:33, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

OK, I need some help, for I am again perplexed...
Ooook, time for a little backstory! For some time now, I've been working on a program that will allow one to setup macros for the Thief Multiplayer Mod. You see, the mod has this nice little feature that allows one to call up what amounts to a console and, should a certain setting be enabled, do things like spawn zombies and health potions. I've got a basic idea of how this would work (I'm using VB6 for size and speed reasons), but I have yet to find anything that even leads me in the right direction. The user needs to be able to setup a macro in the program (after giving it a name, key sequence, and command), and execute it in Thief when the macro program (TMacro) isn't in focus. Anyone have something that could at least point me in the right direction? talk 07:47, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

GW:YAV is crap (from here)
OK, so you guys all know about You Are Valuable. Basically, it says that everyone's opinion is valued the same despite their contributions, age, blah blah blah. I, personally, believe this is, to put it in as blunt terms as I can, a load of crap. Normal users are not as valued as admins; new contributors' contributions are, more times than not, more likely to be "discussed" and/or have action taken on them than those made by a regular contributor. Saying ageism and the like "don't occur here" is as much a myth as God. In the end, you are NOT valuable. Unless you end up being something really special (or doing some REAL special favors), you are at worst a piece of meat, and at best irrelevant and easily replaceable. Some admins may not feel or act this way, but, being something of a pessimist, I expect it of every one of them until proven otherwise. In short, you are not valuable. You are meat. You can, at the discretion of any admin, be replaced if you offend them in any way. They are the gods here, and if you don't do exactly as they say, they will remove you without so much as a second thought; even if you've been here for years, have made thousands of contributions, and may have even given some of your hard-earned money to keep this place going. talk 22:33, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * You forget the human aspect. YAV is much more a goal then a rule.  Everyone cannot all the time treat everyone equally, or things like wiki drama would never happen.  YAV is really trying to defeat the "I'm right, your not." clause that so many people like to default to when in an argument.  Ageism and contributions are just reasons tacked on after the fact.--Łô√ë [[Image:Gigathrash_sig_G.jpg|Roar.]]îğá†ħŕášħ  22:40, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Read User_talk:Auron_of_Neon and consider that the "second opinion" wasn't written by an admin, and consider who got blocked. "Even if you've been here for years, have made thousands of contributions, and may have even given some of your hard-earned money" admins will ban you if you screw up, and that is one aspect of GW:YAV, so your own argument shows it's not crap. New contributors' contributions are [...] more likely to be "discussed" because they are not as well adjusted to the community, and thus more in need of discussion; but that is not decided by their edit count, but by the nature of their posts.
 * If you feel an admin treats people unfairly, please report it to me, by email if you want this to remain confidential, on my talkpage, or on the Admin noticeboard; best would be to address the admin in question personally, though (and this, too, can be done off-wiki). If you have a problem with me, use one of the public methods or contact PanSola. See GW:AI for details. -- ◄mendel► 23:22, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

"Saying ageism and the like "don't occur here" is as much a myth as God." I wish that was the case. ;D 00:41, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh no, I've not had any problems with any admins here, this is more a debate than me venting from some personal wronging. Trust me, if I felt I was the subject of some unfair judgment or ruling, I wouldn't hesitate to let my voice be heard by whatever means I deem necessary.  I do respect YAV as a goal, but it is, from what I've witnessed personally and heard of (through sources I'd consider reliable), extremely difficult, if not impossible, to achieve.  In the end, the netizen (as a creature in and of itself, not any one person in particular) is, many times, a person uninhibited by such concepts as kindness, consideration, empathy, or even rationality; and it seems that it's these people that are the ones that end up in places of power or importance.  You need look no further than Rapture Ready for excellent examples of this unfortunate fact.  To them, you aren't worth the bandwidth if you put even one toe out of line.  You may look at this example and ask "Why am I making an example of bad forum admins when I'm posting about a wiki policy?"  Because, in essence, the forum and the wiki are very closely related to eachother; the only real differences being in how one goes about posting an opinion and how they are organized.  Here, we have talk pages w/ separate sections relating to differing topics; on forums, they have topics and threads.  In fact, one could say that the wiki architecture came about as a result of someone realizing that a forum was rather inefficient in the storing of more encyclopedic knowledge.  Also, many forums have policies much like YAV, which is why I drew this parallel.  While this place seems to be an exception to that particular rule, there are so many other places that aren't, like Rapture Ready, like Conservapedia, and so many others.  Places which are, for their most unfortunate users, run by people who don't respect their own policies and act according to the classic "'cause I said so" methodology.

 * "some personal wronging" &mdash; even if it is somebody else that is being wronged, don't be afraid to contact me, because I want to know.
 * "While this place seems to be an exception to that particular rule" &mdash; well, thank you for the compliment. I think this is really the best argument that YAV is not "crap", and that it's worth to strive for this ideal.
 * "Rapture Ready" is, ummm, interesting. Makes me want to post theology. :) -- ◄mendel► 10:34, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
