Welcome to GuildWiki Poki! "..." --Jamie 09:17, 10 May 2006 (CDT)
 * Thanks :P --Poki#3 09:20, 10 May 2006 (CDT)
 * Witam :) (Rough translation: Welcome) - Lavvaran 11:54, 30 June 2006 (CDT)
 * You should put a clear note for credits. Something like 'This user page was inspired by User:12345, User:abcde and User:Example.' I think your list of admired people might be the list of inspiration sources, but I'm not sure. Btw: Thanks! --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 03:25, 24 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Well I took my page inspiration and code a bit from everyone in the list ^^; I'll add a more clear not if you want. After all, your one of those people :P &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|20px|My Talk Page :o]] 03:34, 24 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Sorry for causing trouble, but I'm a bit fanatical about those credit notes. ;) --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 03:41, 24 July 2006 (CDT)

fixing others user page
generally it's considered impolite to modify anothers user page. i don't think anyone cares reguarding that joke page, but i wanted to make sure you knew in case it came up again. ;) --Honorable Sarah 16:15, 25 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Of course I know, but I just figured that a piece of html code put in the blue was not intended by the author and wanted to fix it. I don't think people don't care about joke pages (I like them a lot! :D), but fixing evident errors should slide that rule. And take a look at the history of that page :P Jamie edited it a lot to make it look like a skill template, which also falls under that rule of not editing other user pages, but was made in good faith. Oh, and you should convert your joke pages to the new skillbox template :o &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|20px|My Talk Page :o]] 16:40, 25 July 2006 (CDT)
 * i know, your edits were all well intentioned (and i won't tell anyone if you don't, that div was really bothering me, too). as for the new skill box templates, some of them are, i just devoted more effort to getting the giggle across then the pretty. --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 16:44, 25 July 2006 (CDT)

I make a shkill for yoo!
If you want me to make a funny skill for you, write here and provide some info like your main profession and build type, favorite places or what you like to do in real life. You may provide any piece of information you think will help me come up with something. If you want the skill to have something Exactly (Like, be a Nature Ritual) say it. Note, that I don't have a time limit for my work, and I may turn down an offer. Oh, and overpowered skills will go down the drain first thing ;>

Smuggling Elonia
True that is one option. I thought it may be something related to graphics given the number of files I need to load to get into my 1st zone. Either way it is FAR bigger than the list of updates would imply. If you've been around for a while yes you may know they tend to sneek bits in advance. but you are assuming everyone is as knowlegable as yourself. IMHO that's never a safe move ;o). I feel that the inordinate total size does warrent a mention in the article. (see OMG it's huge!!! for how large I made it).
 * I don't work for Anet or anything, and I don't even know where they keep there patches or how they compress it, but I was here when past preview events where held and same thing was happening. LARGE patches without anything really noticeable. 500 Mega with -image, and not even 100 without it. there's some place you cant go, and where the files are. That place is Elonia. Simple Logic and Experience. &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|20px|My Talk Page :o]] 15:10, 14 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Simple logic indeed. I knew what it was when it happened the first time. (And many people kept saying that I was wrong :D ) Arenanet just uploads the new areas and other files to people in smaller parts over a longer period of time so that the serevers don't go down on the realease day as everyone is downloading 1-2 gigabytes of data. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 15:14, 14 September 2006 (CDT)
 * So you both seem agree that this update it larger than expected from the update notes. As far as I'm aware there is no way of proving that it's Elonia so we can't speculate about that on the article.  The point I was trying to make is: I feel the size warrents a mention. You (Poki) did not when you removed my contrib. I am not going to rv. your rv. cos that's "just not the done thing". However, if  you feel my reasons are just, maybe you could put something simular in for me.-- JP 15:32, 14 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Look how it was done previously for the large updates before Factions release and do it like it was done then. I don't remember and won't bother looking. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 15:49, 14 September 2006 (CDT)

Vow of Strength
How did you get 20, or 18 for that matter, into earth prayers to get the progression chart for this? (T/C) 15:49, 27 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Math... having stats from 0 to 12 makes it possible to put up a table up to 20 for almost all skills. &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|20px|My Talk Page :o]] 16:00, 27 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Ok well you're really only assuming it works that way, and you're also only assuming it can go up to 20. [[Image:Chuiu Me Icon.png]] (T/C) 16:02, 27 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Nah. The one who is assuming that attributes can go up to 20 is the person who made that table template, not me. The skills in this game always follow some sort of math pattern for each level. it's normal, logical and practical. VoS is a VERY simple skill to find a pattern, since it always increases by 1%. &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|20px|My Talk Page :o]] 16:10, 27 September 2006 (CDT)
 * The tables go up to 20 because some skills can go up to 20. [[Image:Chuiu Me Icon.png]] (T/C) 16:18, 27 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Hmm... a 20 atr Spell... must me nice ^^. Anyway your point is? Don't post any table over that which you can provide a screen of even though you can see clear as day by how much the skill increases with every level? I don't think that's all that right -_- Anyway, up to 12 is confirmed 100%. If it bugs you that much you can always change it... it's the nature of a Wiki. &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|20px|My Talk Page :o]] 16:27, 27 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Yup. He point is, don't assume. I remember seeing atleast one case where it wasn't linear. Only submit attributes which you have aquired. Put a question mark to those which CAN be aquired but haven't been aquired. And the rest should be marked with a -. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 01:06, 28 September 2006 (CDT)

Hi. I just put the official winners box on the cmopetition page. Hope you like it! -- (talk) 16:06, 2 January 2007 (CST)

Sin armor
Do you still have your Ancient Sin armor dyed blue + purple? I cropped your pics so they fit s&f and used the new template so your gallery is a as soon as we have the dyed profile. You don't need to do both sides, one will be fine, and if you could crop it to 190 x 400 that would be fab. - BeXoR   06:30, 9 January 2007 (CST)
 * I do. Love that Armor :P I'll upload the Profile picture as soon as I get to the nearest city :P &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 08:29, 9 January 2007 (CST)
 * OK, done. I think I'll upload the pics for the other Assassin Armors. (The PvP ones ^^; ) &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 09:30, 9 January 2007 (CST)
 * Sounds good. Remember that the pvp armor can't be created as gray (the color you can pick is actually silver) so you'll have to buy some gray dyes. Also keep in mind you should have post process effects off, and that profile views from both sides aren't necessary (also the profile view in the template is set to the same width as the other views, it usually can't fit both sides in without going messed up). And try get the pics cropped 200x600 or a variant of it so that the thumbnails on the Assassin armor page are all the same size.
 * What I do in PS is copy all my screenshots into one file and then make a new file that's 200x600 and all black. I resize it (usually I find female's are about 500px tall and males 520-530) and copy and paste that into the armor file. I put the layer on 30% opacity and nudge all the armor pics into alignment and then hide them all except for the black layer. Then I use trim to cut away all the blank space and all my images are the same size! :) This way it takes no time at all to crop all the pics.
 * I don't know if you use photoshop too, but if you do make sure you save with ctrl alt shift s (save for web). The file sizes are a lot smaller without loss of quality. I save at 60 - 80 quality (I think it's high or maximum) and they're usually about 10 kb smaller than when I use save as.
 * Have fun. :P - BeXoR  [[Image:Bexor.png]] 10:15, 9 January 2007 (CST)
 * Yeah, I noticed your note about the Dye on the Armor Gallery Talk page. I use... Paint to crop the images. And ACDSee to convert them to jpg. I can't really get into Photoshop... not really that interested in graphic editing, so I never bothered. I guess It'll just take me some more time. And last thing. Why turn the pp effects off? &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 15:04, 9 January 2007 (CST)
 * Ah ok. :) Post process blurs things/makes everything glowy and changes the light. If you want me to crop your pics for you I can do that and then send them back for uploading. - BeXoR  [[Image:Bexor.png]] 15:13, 9 January 2007 (CST)

i hate abbadon too!
i like that userbox can i use it?Asmodius  22:54, 13 January 2007 (CST)
 * It's from the Gem's user box competition, so I'm sure you can. :) (Hmm... The icon used on this page is the original one. I didn't notice that the competition entry ico was changed) --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 03:19, 14 January 2007 (CST)
 * It used Image:Abaddon.jpg, but it was changes from an artwork, to a in-game screenshot. That broke the userbox, so I took the artwork, scaled it down, and uploaded as Image:Abaddon2.jpg. I thought that the userbox in the competition page should also be changes, but didn't want to mess with other peoples work. &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 07:12, 14 January 2007 (CST)

Rv. Temp skill update
Erm. Removal of "evasion" is not a temporary skill update. I am only updating the ranger skills related to evasion.--Ishmaeel 18:16, 19 January 2007 (CST)
 * Oh, right. Sorry ^^; Got too emotional ^^;;; &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 18:18, 19 January 2007 (CST)

Doh, sorry about changing the skill pages. Running on little sleep and just not thinking straight. >_< Light Cleric

Delete Tags
Do not re-add delete tags to images/articles without removing them from everything they are linked to. Thanks &mdash; Gares 13:47, 25 January 2007 (CST)
 * You're talking about the Rt Armor icons? Yeah, I forgot to fix the armor page. figured that someone else would do that ^^; &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 14:12, 25 January 2007 (CST)

"3 lines of text"
I guess it could be considered long, but it's honestly not that bad. -- B  a  r  r  a  g  e
 * I never saw a longer one... In GW:SIGN you can see that:
 * "Keep signatures short, both in display and markup.Long signatures with a lot of HTML/wiki markup make page editing more difficult. A 200 character signature, for instance, is likely to be larger than many of the comments to which it is appended, making discussion more difficult:
 * Signatures that take up more than three lines (at 800x600 resolution) in the edit window clutter the page and make it harder to distinguish posts from signatures.
 * Long signatures give undue prominence to a given user's contribution."
 * So this signature violates that rule. I think you could take a screenshot of it (make it 19 pixels high), upload the pic to Image:Barrage Sig and place the image into your sig. That would make it shorter. A lot shorter :P &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 07:33, 27 January 2007 (CST)
