Because I can. —Warw/Wick 13:07, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Well there goes the opportunity to post "Nice and Clean" xD-- - (Talk/Contribs) 13:09, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

=D. Oh, by the way. you can actually use my archive box with my template, because its actually Cobalt/Archive 2/Archive 1 etc. —Warw/Wick 13:13, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Ah, ok, i see that complicated coding magic takes care of that :), Still, i've stolen 'borrowed' a simpler one from someones talkpage for now because i can modify that with less fear of exploding it. I'll save the code for yours and use that once i have a better understanding of wiki code/html i think-- - (Talk/Contribs) 13:18, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Hah, actually, its rather simple coding. you just type /Hi and it comes out as /Hi.. =| —Warw/Wick 13:19, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

/WTF....o_O ok thats interesting, thanks for the tip :P-- - (Talk/Contribs) 13:24, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Wholesome Family Friendly Discussion

Following on from Felix's comment on thje subject of watch fixing "put the battery in your microwave for awesome lulz", what else, besides soap and eggs is entertaining to put in a microwave? This won't corrupt anyones mind, definately not.-- - (Talk/Contribs) 13:47, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, you can try a Peep, but then again nothing will happen if you do. You could try mounting a couple metal sporks next to each other and see what happens :P --Gimmethegepgun 15:18, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Fizzle, crackle, spark, flame, smoke, flash oh dear. Oddly, lightbulbs turn purple (before violently exploding), and lit matches apparently produce plasma.

Just some technical Jabber to test if you know your stuff, if Cobalt/Archive 2 codex=9.5width, limit=1.73, summing ratio=5.12. How would you get a User:Warwick/Righter on my userpage to work? :) —Warw/Wick 13:50, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes, but only on weekends. Seriously though, i don't "know my stuff" when it comes to coding, anything complicated is stolen from someone else and modified. I used to be able to write HTML and simple javascript, but that was some time ago-- - (Talk/Contribs) 13:54, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

And this is why...

... you don't use polls for rate-a-user. When you move to archive, it moves the CORRECT poll with it and then the poll here is reset --Gimmethegepgun 15:17, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Bleh, on the plus side, it allows people to change their vote :P-- - (Talk/Contribs) 16:02, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Blame Ruricu, it's a long story... 11:21, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Righto...how come you edit so fast o_O....when i look at RC there are like 5 of your redirects between every one of mine....i want to know the secrets of your hyper editing :(-- - (Talk/Contribs) 11:23, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Open Category: [Profession] Bosses. Open several 'Blank the Blanky' or 'Blank, Blankity Blank' names. Search for the lowercased/no comma versions on the respective pages. Click 'create this page.' CTRL+V in #REDIRECT [[]] and type the proper boss name within the brackets. Save changes. Rinse. Repeat. 11:28, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Cool	you should make pages for these in your userspace, you make cool skills and your icon design in awesome-- - (Talk/Contribs) 16:15, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

^^	y'know, thats a good idea. maybe I'll do that. It would also save them from disappearing in an archive.

Havoc (Talk|Contribs) 09:26, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

:::	Well, it wouldn't disapear in an archive, all the stuff in my first archive is technically still there if anyone desperately wants to look at it, though i see what you mean. Also, i like how we seem to have some perverse indent going on there xD-- - (Talk/Contribs) 10:24, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

OK	Then I'll continue to spam your talk page at least until I've create a few more;) The indents rather appeal to my chaotic nature. Hope they bug somebody. - [[Havoc (Talk|Contribs) 01:19, 28 April 2008 (UTC)]]

Righto

Im sure the indents will bug somebody, i already managed to annoy someone just by posting a small(ish) image on their talkpage....i mean, it didn't even break the page or anything (like my indented userboxes did with yours xD. BTW....you seem to have got Sig Fail up there, and the t in usertalk is meant to be lower case, i think it screws the links otherwise ;p-- - (Talk/Contribs) 16:33, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

...ohhh, every heart beats true for the red, white, and blue la di da, di di da, di di daaa-dum! o_O Sorry. I saw the sig failure, but couldn't figure it out. I've changed the "T" in usertalk to a "t", but that didn't help :( - Bye the way, I just noticed that you also have a sig failure in your userboxes. The "Talk" doesn't link to your talkpage. - [[Havoc (Talk|Contribs) 19:19, 28 April 2008 (UTC)]]

Arg, the evil emblem of capitalist greed made manifest! It burns us!. And as viper said, the talk thingy dosent work cos this is my talkpage, so linking to it does nothing on the page itself, par examplé. Also, no userbox viper, u ruinz mai fun :-(-- - (Talk/Contribs) 19:35, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Boardwalk Spend

Ag, my characters have a gambling problem! I just spent another 40k on festival tickets, dam addictive nine-rings afking (ahem). How much did everyone else spend, has anyone outspent me this time round?-- - (Talk/Contribs) 18:54, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

30k so far, but I'll probably spend twice that much again. 18:57, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Ye, im sort of hoping the increased pick retain chance from the lucky title might go some way to paying off the cost of all these tickets ;)-- - (Talk/Contribs) 18:59, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Optimism is the gambler's bane. 19:03, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Nooo, don't shatter my precious, comforting illusions, i feel better pretending im spending my money on something that might be in some way beneficial xP Besides which, there is something satisfying about spending 40k buying stacks of things that only cost 15g each, maybe im just a natural horder ;)-- - (Talk/Contribs) 19:06, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about ripping on you in the RA discussion page, that was inappropriate of me and I apologize for it. I hope you and I can be cool. ^_^ Zephyr Cloud 04:44, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

hehe no problem ;)-- - (Talk/Contribs) 16:29, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey man, I don't blame you at all for getting a little pissed off from RA lol. The other day I spent a good 5 hours or so there getting to 5 wins only once. Probably got monks only twice during that whole time, and the rest of the time I was paired with those PvE players you talked about on my talk page lol. So I know how frustrating it can be when you load and you already know what the outcome will be, as you watch the W/Mo use mending and the E/Me use Illusion of Weakness, and the third guy not load. XD Anyway, please feel free to add me in-game (same name, Zephyr Cloud). I am always looking for cool people to try to do TA or HA with, since I never have anybody to go with. :/ I've actually never even been in a HA battle, which I've always wanted to try. Hope to hear from you sometime! Zephyr Cloud 20:12, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Olook, a new friendship is blooming. I love this wiki. *sniff* 20:13, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Oh now you're getting me all teary QQ damn you and your sentimental observations *blows nose*. Zephyr Cloud 20:19, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Oh fork off Felix xD, and Zephyr, I will add you ingame but im not on v.much atm because of exams and various other irl related problems, and also timezone differences mean i'll likely never see you :P. Im also not really a contact for getting to HA anymore, i haven't been in HA in ages and the competetive PvP guilds i've been in have all disbanded. My GW activity is mostly limited to chest running/vanquishing/HM missions and farming glad points in RA/TA. And i've been in exactly the example situtation you described up there more than once. In order to get 5 or more wins i always play monk in RA, running ZB or some gimmicky healers covenant enchantment spam thing (which is ridiculous and needs nerfing, but meh, it works for RA). However, even as a monk i always seem to end up in a team with atleast 1 other monk, meaning that we'll never get 5 wins due to lack of offensive power, if im not a monk i always end up in a team with no monk. That or luck takes the piss and makes me think we've got a monk then it turns out he doesn't load/is a smiter/mending spammer/55hp/has put all his attrib points into swordsmanship and hammer mastery.-- - (Talk/Contribs) 16:47, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

I think I'm in luv. O_o Great little RA rant. XD Anyway, yea... running monk in RA is about the most secure thing to do for points. ZB can be good, but I don't really like covenant spam. If I monk I always run a standard WoH monk, good stuff. :) I usually prefer to play necro though, or my D/E wounding striker. Oohh how I love the punishment I can dish out with that lol. If you see me online please don't hesitate to say hi. I understand if we never cross paths, I know how buys life can be for sure, but maybe we'll be able to meet up for some TA or something sometime.

Congratulations, you've just been added to the list of people I must smash out of jealousy. 07:29, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Out of curiosity, how high up on your list is blue? Really? That high?! Make it higher. 07:31, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

I prefer not to deal with rellik. I owned him once in RA, that was satisfaction enough. 07:34, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Who and/or what am I jealous of again? lol Maybe I'm just jealous that I don't have a webcam to make RA rants that I could then post on YouTube. :( Oh well, I waste enough time as it is playing RA. XD Zephyr Cloud 08:07, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Highly relevant wiki questions

1. What happens if you create a redirect to a redirect redirecting back to the first redirect, e.g. A Redirects to B which Redirects to A?
2. If there is a magic system in place to prevent that, then what if A Redirects to B which Redirects to C which Redirects to A?
3. Is it possible to target redirects to page sections in the same way it is with links?
4. If so what happens if you create several redirects to different sections on one page with each section being a redirect to another?

All these things i could probably find out myself if i could be bothered, but a) I can't, b) I might get caught in an inescapable redirect link and c) Some kind of wiki-damage might be caused in the process, sooo, any ideas?-- - (Talk/Contribs) 15:33, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

You can redirect to a section, but you cannot let the section itself redirect. A redirect below anything of text, is broken. Also, see the pages I reated for redirect stuffs --- -- (s)talkpage 15:40, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Indeed, point taken, you mad wiki-scientist you ;p-- - (Talk/Contribs) 15:46, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, I made a template which included itself three times which nearly crashed my computer... Made a page literally miiiles long :D I'll be deleting the pages I created now, unless you heavily protest and need them for m4d h4x0r experimintz? --- -- (s)talkpage 15:59, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Err yes, i erm, "heavily" protest, yes, thats what i do *chains self to concrete slab in the middle of the access road to your redirects*. Oh wait.... And yes, delete, whatever, have fun :-)-- - (Talk/Contribs) 16:03, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

(edit conflict) I recall something a while back, where a user created an article that should have been namespace, and was instead mainspace, so I moved it, but I typed the name wrong, and something happened in reverting/unmoving that caused it to redirect to itself... and it crashed the wiki for about 5 minutes. It was epic, and since then, that doesn't work anymore lol. -- User:Isk8 (T/C) 16:05, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

By the way, redirect chains don't work. The first one will take you to second page, and it'll stop there. 16:08, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, we already established that thanks to viper and his m4d exprerimontZ. And well done Isk8, im sure that made you popular xD-- - (Talk/Contribs) 16:11, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

I generally don't believe text, so I just make attempt to break the 'Wikia servers harmless pages. --- -- (s)talkpage 16:17, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, text is not to be trusted-- - (Talk/Contribs) 19:16, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Does this mean i need another archive?

Hmm, if i hit the edit button at the top of the page rather than an edit button for a section it complains about the page being 37Kb long, i'm sure it used to do that when editing only one section if the page was too long :S If it only appears from the full page edit screen, do i still need an archive?-- - (Talk/Contribs) 19:20, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Archive. If it shows up on an edit-section, the section itself is >32Kb :P --- -- (s)talkpage 19:26, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
