User talk:Oddlyoko

A quick note, I'm no great fan of "placeholder" entries, since it's easier to find pages that require adding if there are no placeholders.

Any page with no/minimal content should be marked with the STUB template, so that it can be located easily. Ace of Risk 15:34, 29 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Screenshots sound good (we could follow the Wikipedia example of fair use). --Merovingian 04:49, 2 Nov 2005 (UTC)

What do you think about the item categories? --X1011 23:53, 9 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Thanks muchly for the redirect; I assume doing the same for my talk page would just be a matter of copy-pasting what you did on the userpage and changing User:Vimescarrot to User Talk:Vimescarrot? Well I'll just do it anyway and look like a fool if it goes wrong :p thanks again. Vimescarrot 20:44, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

You seem to be the most active around here, so I have a few questions for you. What kind of pages need to be created? How can I help out here? I may have more later. Thanks. Fetttson 01:16, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

I think (please don't shout if I'm wrong) you may have misinterpreted the message I left (unsigned - I forgot) on User talk:Richard1990 as being a message from Richard himself...

I dunno, that's just the way it looks to me... Vimescarrot 06:39, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Lol
Code Lyoko? I used to like that show. (note: posted by Wikipedia user Poorleno.

Proxy vandal
Hey man, we got a proxy vandal on the run. He's stopped for now, but these are his known IP addresses so far: I think that's all of them. I blocked one of them for 2 hours. Just thought I'd let you know. --Richard1990 23:00, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Donating to clan bank accounts...
Re: "I donate frequently to my clan's bank account" - You are breaking rule #8 by doing this you realize? Shadowdancer 03:05, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't see how, unless its a whole new account created solely for the purpose of holding the money. Even then I'm not sure... Vimescarrot 07:00, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Shadowdancer 07:21, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Oi...rule #8 found here: http://kbase.runescape.com/lang/en/aff/runescape/viewarticle.ws?article_id=2078
 * There was some discussion about clan banks in pmod forums a while back (I'm not really supposed to discuss what goes on there normally). Basically, a clan bank is ONLY legal, if the person that owns the account is the ONLY person to log into it, and NEVER donates themselves, even via a proxy person. --Eucarya 08:19, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but I have a hard time believing that Player Mods are exempt from the game rules. Item transferring across accounts is not allowed, period. Shadowdancer 14:23, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Many points to make here.


 * 1) why are you bulletpointing when you should be indenting?
 * 2) Eucarya is not saying P-mods are exempt. From the sound of it what was said applied to everyone, not just P-mods.
 * 3) "Item transferring across accounts is not allowed..." Er, isn't that basically what trading is? Item trsnferring is only not allowed if the two accounts are owned by one person, and I'm seeing no evidence of this happening here.

Vimescarrot 14:48, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Once more, I implore you to go read rule 8. You must not transfer items across multiple accounts that you own. Suppose that you me and this Eucarya person were all in a clan and I had an account called "Big Banker" and you gave me items on that account to give out to other players. That is in effect item transferring. Shadowdancer 17:12, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Is there really a difference as to whether I bullet-point or indent?


 * No, there is no difference, I was just wondering. Assume good faith! Anyways, I still don't understand your point, so I'll just leave. (this debate, that is.) Vimescarrot 17:21, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm not breaking any rule, since I don't own that account. Although, I do think more than one person maintained the account... Then again the leaders were married. Does that count? Meh, I'm not in that clan anymoer, so I removed those lines. (updated my profile too). Oddlyoko 18:18, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * No, even account-sharing amongst family members is not allowed. (If you're ever a pmod, you'll understand why - My brother gave my pass to his friend and he stole my whip, etc.).  It's not illegal to have 2 accounts, that's fine (hey, Jagex need to make money too eh?), but you are not allowed to trade or drop-trade between them, even via a proxy person.  This means that clan banks are ONLY legal if one person and one person only owns the bank, and NEVER donates to it themselves, or even has the bank character and their normal character logged in at the same time.  I don't break the rules myself, just to be clear --Eucarya 22:16, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Welcome back
Seems like you've been gone for ages... Hyenaste talk 18:21, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh no don't forget about us! :( [[image:Green party hat.PNG|14px]] Hyenaste talk 18:25, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Re:To-do
That would be great. I'd have to check other Wikis to see exactly what it should encompass, but it couldn't be too difficult to set up. Hyenaste talk 18:47, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately, we cannot protect a page from creation. We can only simply leave a message and protect it. You should go ahead and protect it now. Hyenaste talk 20:16, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Hey, no problem. Teach a man to prevent page creation and he will prevent page creations for his life... [[image:Green party hat.PNG|14px]] Hyenaste talk 20:23, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: Deleting "RSDemon"
Third party programs have always been a sore spot for me. However, here is my specific reasoning for deleting the page:

It specifically states: "You must not attempt to use other programs (e.g. bots, macros or autominers) in conjunction with our games to give yourself an unfair advantage at the game." Shadowdancer 04:21, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Rule #7 is listed here: http://kbase.runescape.com/lang/en/aff/runescape/viewarticle.ws?article_id=2077
 * This is a Wiki about RuneScape. Not about outside programs or fanfiction or fansites or anything else.
 * It's bad enough this wiki has those accused Google ads to the right.

RSDemon was definitely not against rule 7. Shouldn't you have put it up for deletion instead of just doing it yourself? --Wowbagger421 04:56, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

I think it should have been put under page creation protection. Huanghe63 05:18, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * What part of "You must not attempt to use other programs in conjunction with our games" do you people not understand, exactly? I acted as per my points above. Shadowdancer 14:02, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * And as for Andrew Gower, he very much has everything to do with RuneScape as he created it so therefore that point is invalid. Shadowdancer 14:03, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I stand by my action as per my Talk page. Shadowdancer 19:08, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Life, The Universe, And Everything
Since it seems that my one administrative move is causing people grieft.

Based on this and the fact that several people here are blissfully ignorant of the game rules as per their own conveniences, I cannot continue to contribute here.

Deactivate my administrative powers, as I am through.Shadowdancer 21:00, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Images
Hey, I'm noticing that you're uploading duplicates of images that we already have. Am I missing the reason why? Hyenaste talk 18:03, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, just check the cooking article. Although, I do prefer yours since the filename offers no ambiguity as to whether it is cooked or not. [[image:Green party hat.PNG|14px]] Hyenaste talk 18:05, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
