Hello
Hey add me on runescape? rsn is demonzabuza =P I wanna duel you ^^


 * I tried adding you, but obviously missed you. I might duel sometime, but I would need to switch to ancients. I'm currently on normal magic because it's more convenient for farming (which is one of the skill I'm currently working on). 13:29, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

well.. it's like I thought!

Possible template error?

Goal/Training Templates question
I made a table that combined both the Goal and the Training tempates and I was wondering if you could suggest any ways to adjust it to make it look any better. 2 small problems with the goal template in this format: First, it doesn't display the name of the skill (although I don't mind too much, that can be alleviated by placing the name above it possibly). Second, on skills that have 100% for their goal, the bar isn't complately green, there's a little blue on the right side of it. Again, no biggie, but I'm trying to make it look nicer. Would it work to just put the name and click-pic above the goal template (in the same box of the table) and just have the goal be it's own little line in that same box? A third question is how to make the backgrounds of each of the rows or columns be a different color, or even of each of the individual boxes. The place I'm talking about is here. Thanks! :o) 14:43, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I made a few changes, it seems to work alright. Now my problem is that I've lost the visual display of the individual boxes, the lines are hidden now.  What can I do to get them back?  If it will cause the display to go a little goofy again, I'd prefer to leave it the way it is, but if we can get it to look the way it is and still have the table's lines be visible, that would be ideal.  What do you think?  17:07, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Auto updating skill data
Hi, I noticed that you seem to have some kind of template on your user page that auto updates your skills, I have to manually change mine and it's becoming a pain. I would like something similar, could you advise me how to do this? thanks. 13:39, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Summoning pic
were did you get that skill pic? Agownsrs2 (Talk)  13:50, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

I see there is another one...but is this the "actual" icon? Agownsrs2 (Talk)  15:27, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

The skill came out!!!??? when?? I cant tell because I am at school and I cant go to runescape... Agownsrs2 (Talk)  15:33, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Yay!!! are you exited? cuz I am =D Agownsrs2  (Talk)  15:38, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Combat template
Just thought of updating the combat template, only to find you already have done all the hard work! Thanks! Miw 14:29, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Training template
I was wondering if you could add something to the training template that would be able to figure out prices (or something) for raising skills too. Two examples: First, if I want to raise construction and use teak logs, the output would indicate how many logs and how much that would cost (meaning I could enter a price of my own in). Maybe a variant so I could put a value from x to y (to train to lvl 50 you need "z" logs which will cost from "x" to "y" coins). Something like that. The second example is a little more complicated, and trying it like you did with your runecrafting training doesn't work the same way. I tried to do a farming calculator that would show how many of x trees i needed to grow as well as the number of bribe items I would need. Any ideas on that one? Whatever the case may be it would be nice to have a Price option, especially working out the summoning stuff. If you can tell me how you would do it I can attempt it myself, but I don't understand the language more than to use someone else's work and adjust it to my preferances (in a small way). Let me know. :o) 21:46, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

This is somewhat related, but is there a way to make a template for summoning specifically that would look somewhat like:



And output something like:
 * Training to (Goal) (Skill) from Level (Level) requires making (###) (Pouch) Pouches and will use (###) (CharmColor) Charms, (###) Shards, and (###) (Components).

Also, if it could be made to calculate several levels, like from 1-20, and from 20-30, and 30 to 40 in one template that would be neat too. Just wondering if it could be done. I was trying to play with your training template and couldn't figure it out. If you could explain it to me I might be able to stop bothering you. :o) 18:40, 17 January 2008 (UTC)


 * While it's random as to which color charm you recieve, similar to the way you are assigned a random monster for slayer, the difference is that there are only four colors to choose from, versus a huge selection of monsters for slayer. For me at least I figure I need "x" amount of gold charms to get me to a certain place, and since those are very common with ogres, I'll just continue to range ogres until I get the amount of gold charms I need to get me there.  The difficulty is knowing how many gold charms I need.  If I can figure out how many of those charms would get me to my next level goal, that would be easier to figure out.  Of course, while I'm getting those gold charms, I'll also get small amounts of the other charms too, and can figure out ways to use them to my advantage as a kind of bonus.  I guess it would be just as easy to write the template and just use the item as "Dreadfowl pouches/gold charms" or something like that, since it only takes one charm per pouch anyways, so no big deal.  As for changing/making a new template, it's probably not necessary. 16:19, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Training Summoning
Some of your other questions (refering to the template question) have made me think a little more about it, and it's difficult to figure out (at this point) the best ways to train the skill, outside of just making pouches. Any suggestions so far with what you've been doing? Making which pouches/scrolls? Using which ones and where? High alching or selling any of them? The only real variable once everything is known is the charm drops, because they can't be controlled, but one can decide what to do with the four charms, it's just deciding what should be done. The considerations would be cost (how can I make money back with this), speed (fastest ways to get xp), and a combination of both. Does one just make pouches or do they use them too? What have you found works for you? I've just been attempting to collect gold charms, so I haven't trained much with the skill past what I earned from the quest. 16:19, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Congrats
Hey Congrats on 99 cooking, whats up next? By the way, next time you get a 99 tell me i wanna be there :) Ice 00:37, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Skills Plan change
I changed the info on your skills plan for firemaking. You had the xp from maples at 157.5, which is actually mahogany. A maple is only 135 xp each. Sorry, but this will add 10k of logs and 300k in gp. Seedy65 09:27, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

hey wanted to let you know that I can make it tomorrow. Im on PST so i will be on at 5 for sure. I will probably be able to make the party on saturday as well, as of now its about a 70-30 chance. Ice 04:06, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

New Account
hey this is "fred225"'s new account i was just wondering if you could remake my sig except with JapanMan instead of fred225. you can find what the old sig looked like on fred's user page. (fred's pass was changed, my fault for making it too easy to guess).

Construction
Hey Amaurice Im actually online right now its 2:10 PST so if you wanted to do it now, or later, either is fine. Ice 22:08, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Next 99
Hey Amaurice sorry i couldnt make the party :( Tell me when your close to getting your next 99 so i can be there to video :) I believe its firemaking if im not mistaken. Ice 21:02, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

RE:Main Income
Thanks, I'll try it out when I have time. Do you think I could pass A Fairy Tale Part 1? Thanks,  C   hicken    7    21:04, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

log in glitch?
Hi Amaurice i found a log in error i thought i should let you know: i was logging into rune wiki but i accidently mistyped my pass. but wen i tried again it said invalid username or password. i tried it a few more times but still nothing. so i tried logging in by main page and typed it in again and it worked. do you know about this? just thought i should tell you becuase it might b a serious problem. try it: just type your pass in incorrectly and then type it in again correctly and see if it happens. thank you  Vex 327  talk 12:59, 6 February 2008 (UTC)Vex 327

Computer games link
Just fyi, I tried clicking on this link in your userbox, but the site wouldn't load for me. I don't know if it's just my computer or what, but just thought I'd mention it.

Server not found

Firefox can't find the server at patpack.abraham.co.uk.

*  Check the address for typing errors such as          ww.example.com instead of          www.example.com

*  If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.

*  If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

None of those cases are the issue, so I'm not sure what's up. Won't load in Internet Explorer either. Christine TalkFlickr 19:30, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Heya
Noticed your almost 99 fm :) Ice 05:33, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Firemaking sounds great ill go to the firemaking master with you, and you can burn your last few logs there for 99. Farming, I believe there is a fruit tree patch in lletya, which is very uncrowded, if that doesnt work we should go for the gnome village patch. Ice 11:57, 13 February 2008 (EST)

Thank you very much!
When I said that (rule breaking word) I didnt really mean to "flame" with anyone just that it came to my mind. But although I wasnt intesionaly saying that, I will be more careful about what I say from now on. ; ) 20:21, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Amaurice and Agownsrs2, the phrase was "mentally handicapped" but I'm sure it's obvious that this was just an attempt to put "retarded" lightly and so I blocked. I don't think it was inappropriate to block and neither of you seem to either so... Yeah.  Christine  TalkFlickr 15:33, 13 February 2008 (EST)

Times
For the firemaking video, I can make it on Saturday at 2pm, PST. Farming, I can make it at 2-2:30pm PST, on Sunday. Ice 04:29, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Happy Valentines day!
May it be a good one =)  Vex 327  talk 14:57, 14 February 2008 (UTC)Vex 327

World Times
Very useful tool, great job on creating it. If during the planning of the Wikifest, users get confused about time zones, we can direct them to your template. Again, thank you. 20:41, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Past Weekend
Hey amaurice, i had something come up this past weekend. Really sorry I couldnt make it for firemaking or farming :( I'll for sure be there for thieving. Tell me when you get close so i can vid. Ice 01:45, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Construction
Hi Amaurice. I need a bit of help with Construction, and you are a master, so I figured I'd ask you. :) I was recently editing some Construction pages, and decided to include a flower table on the Garden page. There's just some info I can't seem to find. This is my edit. I can't seem to find any info anywhere for rosemary. The image given on that page looks just like the rosemary from farming, not what I assume the construction version looks like. Also, I can't find what experience they would give. I've checked other fan sites, but none list rosemary. They do, however, list the orange flower, which I think could be the rosemary I'm thinking of (they look similar). However, in-game, the gardener doesn't sell orange flowers, just bagged rosemary. Can you help clear up my confusion if possible? My construction isn't anywhere near high enough to know or be able to check out any of this stuff myself. Please and thanks. =]  Christine  TalkFlickr 14:32, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * That's ok, I can take it out. I told you I didn't know anything about construction. =P Thanks for telling me. I think I'll change all the orange flower uses now.  Christine  TalkFlickr 15:06, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I prefer the second also. RuneScape:Granularity anyways. =]  Christine  TalkFlickr 15:11, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Blocked from editing...
Ohhhh now I understand what your saying. I edit from my main computer (At home) and I also edit from my school. I use many different computers at school....thats why I think I was blocked...But my MAIN IP Address is 192.168.1.4 So your telling me I cant edit from other computers? Oh ok then.... 21:32, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

But I dont understand what you mean by saying "vandal" because as far as I know no one gets into my account execpt me and I make sure to log off when I need to leave. Ill make sure to tell the administrador who blocked me to let me use this IP address. Thanks Amaurice! 21:32, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

RE: Re: Blocked from editing...
Well, as you can see it took an extremely long time for me to figure that out, because (s)he was not helping me by telling me what (s)he was even talking about, and not reading any of my messages, and basically really aggravating me. Between reading your talk and theirs, I finally figured it out, but (s)he wasn't willing to help me anymore, and I thought I explained it well enough by giving the link to the contribs of the only IP I blocked with "fourth strike." (S)he still wasn't reading what I wrote, so I gave up. And I've tried that site, but how was I to know where they were located? Christine TalkFlickr 12:52, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah wait, it's on the userpage. Still, I didn't have any IP to even look up until too late.  Christine  TalkFlickr 12:54, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Hey sorry about that Amarice, my IP address from this computer (my house) is 72.148.159.34 and you were right, the IP you put on my talk page is the one from my school. All computers at my school are blocked because people at my school were messing around with wiki since april 2006 according to Clv309s contribs. My account was made in october 2007 so thats proof that I had nothing to do with it, not that I feel quilty of anything tho but just saying. I already know everything I need. Thanks for everything Amaurice! :) 03:04, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Needed?

 * Comment basis (Quests article history)

Hey Amaurice. On the Quests page someone has added a grid to the questsI was going to revert this because I thought if all the info was there, it would be all squished. But I thought I'd ask you. What do you think? Cheers,  Chicken7   >talk>sign 10:02, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Good idea ;) Cheers, [[Image:Kandarincrest.gif|25px]] Chicken7   >talk>sign 10:33, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * While your active, do you think this policy article is good. RuneScape:Shop image policy. I asked skill and s/he said it was good but didn't say if I should make it official. What do you think. Cheers, [[Image:Kandarincrest.gif|25px]] Chicken7   >talk>sign 10:39, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'll do that now if you wanna support. Cheers, [[Image:Kandarincrest.gif|25px]] Chicken7   >talk>sign 10:56, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * The idea for the quests article looks good now. I like it. Seeing as I'm working on the miniquests articles I might add the idea. Cheers, [[Image:Kandarincrest.gif|25px]] Chicken7   >talk>sign 10:41, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Heya
Hey Amaurice, I noticed your forum post about the Surok mini-quest. Ive talked to a few friends that have done it. It takes around 15-20 minutes to complete. Most people have said its not really worth the effort of doing it everyday. By the way, any chance you could add me in-game, I never see you on or get to talk to you except when your getting your 99 skills. :( Ice 04:48, 6 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I disagree with you ice, 5 blue and 7 crimson, are a great reward ! 15:13, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for the info on the new mini-game/quest thingy. I don't get on much to the wiki anymore (just see the top of my user page), but I'm glad I saw your message. I'll be in England end of April by the way, so if I'm playing much when I get there, I'll be on during your times :o) 23:53, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Cant Do The Needed Edits In The Trivia Section!!
i have a lot of stuff do do to the trivia secton but i cant because everytime i log in im blocked...now Clv309's block is understandable but the block that stinkowning gave me,i beleave that this one was unfair...i was trying to clean up my talk page and he keep reverting it...i then messaged him to find out why and he sait that the stuff couldnt be removed... then i told him i had seen others that had removed stuff from their pages... he then blocked me...his reason was that i had removed the stuff after he asked me not to...i never removed anything after he asked me not to...just look at the page history on my talk page...and then about a hour later i came on with a different ip and i saw him remove stuff from his talk page... stinkowning is a HYPOCRITE and i was unfairly blocked by him!

Grievances against yourself or whoever did it
My watchlist says you merged my article (which was created first by the way), "Stronghold of player safety" with an article created much MUCH later by some random ip, fine, but I am angry because you lost/wiped my contributions to the article in the first place, it took me about 10 minutes to add what I did to the trivia section, now it has completely gone. (shawshank reference) and why not merge his with mine? and not dl mine? his had less content and info, and the stuff added to mine has now been lost, the location maps, the information about the professor and the tests, all gone, all the work the helpful editors and myself did all vanished. (it was by no means mine, but I will refer to it that way for simplicities sake) Anyway is there anyway to get the contents of the article I wrote back? I want all the info about trivia and the location maps added to the new article, could you find it again and post it in my talk so i can add it? Thanking you in advance an annoyed 12:31, 12 March 2008 (UTC) ps It is not you in person I am angry with its just that all my info was lost, this has happened to me before and it's a right pain, i would be glad if you ould retrieve it, I would hate to write it all out again, I did keep the info in a notepad file incase of this, but It went past a day and I thought no its not going to happen so I dled it.

Thanks I understand that you made the decision based on headings, and true mine didn't have as many headings as it should have, I completely undertand/agree with what you did now, and am glad I got the trivia section back, and am happy to see all the test info moved to the exellence centre and prof henry articles, which is more appropriate, once again thanks for your help. =) 17:11, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

About the black mask
I have killed the bork many times now, last week i brought my black mask for the first time there. I am hitting so good right now that i dont even need to bring prayer potions anymore. With a black mask i can hit much more and higher. AND you will get slayer exp, so it is always a "hidden" task. Try out yourself, today without, tomorrow with.

Hey there, Could you please delete Southern Sea and then replace it with Sea. The 'Sea' article describes the Southern Sea really. A name like sea could mean anything, fremennik sea, Northern Sea, Sea Sea, etc. Thanks, Cheers,  Chicken7   >talk>sign 05:16, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Just to let you know, I have nominated you for user of the month for May. good luck 19:17, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

I always assumed you had been nominated and accepted as User of the Month - I don't seem to scroll down that far on the Main Page to see who is there all the time. A very worthwhile nomination. Seedy65 21:39, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
