User talk:Solus

Well to start this off, the rate a user was just a bit of fun, dont take this things literally. I may sometimes vote on builds and give stupid respones, then again who hasn't. If I have offened you in anyway, get over it, I mean nothing personal. Unless you have something interesting to say on my talk page, dont bother posting. Solus  23:46, 20 March 2007 (CDT)

How many edits do you have to make geez... Use show preview before you make a post. For the record, American English is not the same as Australian English (ours is better). A simple mistake such as You're/Your is fine with me, You're/Ur isn't. Thankyou for the vote anyway, shows you care for me. I crave the attention lol. Solus  02:52, 8 March 2007 (CST)
 * Why do you say I use Australian English? I'm Chinese, Australian Passport, take Japanese, lived in Montreal for a while, and speak mostly American English, with some British tendencies (Skhedule vs Shedule). Please refrain from further racist comments. Though not completely Australian, Australian English is not "different". What my English is really different from is your English, because, simply put, your English is wrong on above cited examples... ie. all of them. Tell me one example where I have called your grammar wrong (this is after your attacks on others), and that it turns out that the English is not wrong and simply a different version (ie. Gray vs Grey) please. -Silk Weaker 03:46, 8 March 2007 (CST)

I refer to myself using Australian-English. You speak American Englsh, the languages are different in small ways. For the last time can you please use the show preview before you post your comments, I get so excited when you post on my page ; I can't take it! Solus  03:50, 8 March 2007 (CST)
 * I see then, my mistake. Now please cite examples of that occurence if you want to make a point. --Silk Weaker 03:51, 8 March 2007 (CST)

Most common (for me) is favour(Australian) and favor (American). Do you see my point? Solus  03:53, 8 March 2007 (CST)
 * That's same as the difference of American and British English. No, point not made. None of my accusations of bad grammar had to deal with those differences. I was refering to "Your" and "You're", and punctuation issues ("comma's", or omission of full stop.)-Silk Weaker 03:54, 8 March 2007 (CST)

What would hex breaker do for the build jw? AmericanVlad 20:51, 3 March 2007 (CST)

Protect your from hexes? Solus  20:54, 3 March 2007 (CST)

Your build is basically designed to fight melee units, nobody that knows what spirt shackles will attack while under the effect of the hex. Mind wrack therefore won't work. Your wasting your primary attribute by assuming that people will fight back under spirt shackles. Your wasting 2 slots that could be used else where. Blackout is good with the Vos but killing oyur own energy under the assummtion people will fight back just won't work. Solus  20:56, 3 March 2007 (CST)

Does this look good? And would Diversion begood in the optional slot?

AmericanVlad 21:07, 3 March 2007 (CST)

Yes it does, diversion could be a good choice, but you'll need to cast hex breaker after you've used pious haste. Or you could use something like, Pious haste/Hex breaker (depending on the sitution) then wasterls worry, blackout and then Vow of Strenght for a small spike. Up to you though. Solus  21:20, 3 March 2007 (CST)

So Wastrel's worry in the optional slot? AmericanVlad 21:31, 3 March 2007 (CST)

I'd put it in variants, could be a nice little touch. Solus  00:34, 5 March 2007 (CST)

A vote, a signature, and a giant head...
...well, no giant heads in sight, so I'll just mention the vote and the signature.

on the Build:R/any Solo Totem Axe Farmer, you voted unfavored for what seem to be incorrect reasons... could you possibly have gotten something mixed up? Totem Axes drop randomly from Root Behemoths, which are not warrior bosses (not even bosses at all). They also have no way to remove stances, and the stances are only meant to run from Behemoth to Behemoth. I'm just mentioning this because I think you're thinking about a different axe maybe... and you've got about three people now trying to argue with you on the build's talk page. :D

As for the signature, I took the liberty of reading the rest of your talk page... SigmA's correct, your signature shouldn't be a shared image with another article or anything. Preferably, you'll need a image uploaded for use only in your sig. I've got some experience with uploading images and editing at whatnot... if you like, I can show you how to upload an image for your sig. Or I could maybe even make you a new image, if you want. Let me know? {Jioruji Derako} 22:35, 3 March 2007 (CST)

If you have concerns about the build, dicussion it on the build page. I don't give a dam about it, my votes my vote. Solus  23:20, 3 March 2007 (CST)


 * alright, sorry then. I was just curious as to what you meant the first time, and you weren't responding to anyone on the build page. All good now. {Jioruji Derako} 23:27, 3 March 2007 (CST)

I don't look back at every single vote i do. Solus  23:27, 3 March 2007 (CST)


 * I can understand that, I can only assume that not every vote you make ends up starting a discussion. Nothing wrong with someone mentioning it to you in such a case, right? :D {Jioruji Derako} 23:29, 3 March 2007 (CST)

I understand your point of view, i can tell your very defensive over your builds. Solus  23:30, 3 March 2007 (CST)


 * no, don't get me wrong, not trying to be defensive or anything. It's not even my build. I just happen to use it a lot, and with a good amount of success, so I was curious as to why you didn't think it worked. But that is a disccussion for the build's page, like you said. Hope I didn't come across as looking for an arguement, or anything. {Jioruji Derako} 23:35, 3 March 2007 (CST)

Please avoid taunting or baiting of others, as that can be viewed as attempts to coax or prod them into violating GW:NPA. Doing so is generally disruptive. While I could understand the initial comment as being a misunderstanding, the repeated occurances of accusing Silk Weaker as being either banned or bannable combine to appear as attempted taunting. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 13:05, 8 March 2007 (CST)

Re: NightAngel's complaint on my talk page
You can bash the mentality, you can point out illogic, but don't personally attack other wiki users. Your first, second, and fourth sentences from your comment on Build_talk:R/any_Enraged_Pet_Ranger are unnecessary. They don't help your point. Don't do it again. Considering Barek's warned you above, and I've warned you now, you're likely to be tempbanned without notice next time something like this is seen by an administrator. &mdash;Tanaric 02:58, 17 March 2007 (CDT)

How is that a personal attack, is referring to a user considered a personal attack now? He did not understand what the build is used for, which I pointed out. Solus  03:02, 17 March 2007 (CDT)

Meh Idc. Solus  03:08, 17 March 2007 (CDT)

RE:Curious
Alright, let me see if I can answer your question in a satisfactory manner.

I think there are a few things I would be able to do given the Admin tools. First of all, I spend a lot of time looking at recent edits (a LOT of time) and reverting vandalism. Then, I go to Barek's talk page, post there, and more often than not, the user gets banned, etc. So, the first thing I would say is that by removing the middle man (i.e. not having to go through Barek), I feel that I would be able to help the wiki. I remember a few nights where I was on (I am on at some weird hours), sitting and checking recent edits and being forced to revert one user's edits at least 10 times because there weren't any admins available. Obviously, anyone could do that, but I believe I have proven a willingness to go out of my way to do so. I have also been involved in more than a few instances of conflict resolution and spend a good amount of time instructing users about not violating one policy or another. To be honest, I like sitting staring at recent changes and just doing random administrative stuff.

Aside from that, I review so many pages so frequently that I believe that I could be a boon in terms of Category:Candidates for deletion by doing frequent purging. The other large part of what I think I could do given the right tools/authority would be in respect to the build name-space. As one of the users more involved in the builds section, with the changes being made to the build section (i.e. the nuking of the name-space 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 name-space for builds.

I wish I could give a better answer and say that there was something I could do that someone else can't. I am not sure I there is something I can say. However, I do think that someone needs to be there to ease the transition into the post NOB/PNB era, and I think that I could help. Not just with that, but with anything. I think I have the qualities that are necessary to being an Admin. On the other hand, I don't know that there is anything NEW I would bring to the table, I just think I could help out the wiki. Sorry for the long response and my utter lack of eloquence. To be honest, it is a very hard question to phrase a proper response to. If you have any more specific questions, feel free to ask, but, unfortunately, that is the best answer I can give. It is pretty much the same answer I gave Gem when asked the same thing. Hope it at least helps. Defiant Elements (talk ~ contribs) 00:47, 21 March 2007 (CDT)

Also, aside from the things I have mentioned above, other than Policy debate, which is something I have become at least marginally more involved in, I am not sure in what other areas of GuildWiki I should be mentioning which may contribute to my inability to answer the question thoroughly. Defiant Elements (talk ~ contribs) 00:52, 21 March 2007 (CDT)

Ok, do you think you deserve to be an Admin after reading the statics presented by Fyren? Solus  00:54, 21 March 2007 (CDT)


 * Well... I think it is hard to gauge exactly what those statistics mean. I personally still believe I could improve the wiki as an Admin and I think I would be good at it.  As to my contributions, I don't think what I am doing with them is terribly important.  Let me try to illustrate why.  I have spent the vast majority of my time editing builds.  This is indisputable.  However, the reason for that is simply that I see the builds section as the area that most desperately needs the help.  It isn't because I can't or won't contribute to other areas, simply that I haven't yet done so.  For example, right now, Harsh Language provided me with some excellent ways to find things that need improvement.  I am now gonna sit for the next couple of hours and simply review those pages and see what I can do to help.  Defiant Elements  (talk ~ contribs) 01:05, 21 March 2007 (CDT)

Just thought I would share this little description of what Admins do on Administrate users, not content. They mediate and arbitrate user disputes, they patrol for and block vandals, and they protect and delete articles to maintain our high quality of content.
