User talk:Chicken7/2009

2009: The year I fell inactive, but then made my return.

Old Admins
Hi! =D-- 15:47, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yea, many times I'll look on the wiki and can hardly recognize it, we do have a few new admins (such as Bonziiznob) though most of them are forum admins. We've also lost some admins to inactivity or Stinko's desysoping...It's admittedly been a mixed week, but overall things have been well aside from all the wikidrama and misunderstanding of the principles behind RS:AEAE. Can't complain about how I've been treated of course, I do rather miss being a regular admin (ahh how I miss the fondness of the vandals' hatred).-- 16:08, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Long time no see. 16:00, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Haha! Still workin hard. Been good, lots of drama has gone on, but I've managed to stick around. =) Lot of things have changed though, that's for sure. You back to stay or just visiting? 16:03, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, whatever path you choose, take care of yourself. =) 16:09, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Well I'm a "new" admin but how can I not say hey to the first person I ever nominated for something? So hey.--Degenret01 23:20, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Hey! Glad to here from you again. I hope you can become more active on the wiki later on. 20:58, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Returning?
Welcome back  09:09, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmm, from what I recall, the midi files came as a result of this discussion. At the moment, the midi files don't have their own articles but are used in their respective location articles (see Falador). That's most of my knowledge about it. 10:53, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * At the moment, I'm not too sure if Derilith was right about the midi files being 100% copyrighted by Jagex. According to Byte Master, the sample clips used must be 30 seconds long or 10% of the length of the original song, whichever is shorter. Still, if you're interested in bringing it up, I don't see why not. 11:08, September 27, 2009 (UTC)


 * Hey Chicken! Nice to seeya. I've been fairly well, doing the usual watching of us old admins going even more inactive and typical 'crat-lurking. :P How's things with you?-- 19:05, September 29, 2009 (UTC)

RE: UotM
Thanks very much! Sounds pretty good, though anyone can change it or whatever if they think its needed. 16:02, October 1, 2009 (UTC)

Re:Chicken7's rank
Sure, I'll do it now. 01:01, October 2, 2009 (UTC)

RE: Message of the Week
Hmm, the only thing I can think of right now is to add a tidbit about it to the end of Login server. However, maybe it would be better to restructure the login article to be about logins in general, with separate sections for the login server, login screen, and the welcome/message screen. Then the redirects would need to be added appropriately. -- 04:10, October 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * I was just about to suggest that... 04:11, October 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * Login is probably good. I can help with it but it'll have to wait till tomorrow, it's bedtime for me!  -- 04:58, October 2, 2009 (UTC)

Block over personal images
Is it allowed to block a user who ignores warnings about personal images and keeps uploading them? 11:23, October 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, almost 100 comments, archive time?? 12:26, October 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * , I should make a userbox: "This user will never archive their talk page...ever!". 12:35, October 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * Speaking of archiving, I've have 50 posts on my talk pages. Archive time! 12:44, October 3, 2009 (UTC)

Hey
Thanks for welcoming me! Or is that an automated message? :p

Bluepupfrost 11:34, October 5, 2009 (UTC)


 * No, it was semi-automated, he uses a script which detects whether a talk page has been created, if not, it pastes the welcome code, I should know....I use it . 11:37, October 5, 2009 (UTC)

A Question...
Over here in signature's rules it says

"Signatures must not have animations in them"

'''Yet there are some animated signatures where everyone signed their signatures in the signature guide.(flickering, flashing etc.). Could you tell me why this is so?'''

FIMG nomination
Hi Chicken. I need to ask you for a favour. If you're not too busy, could you go over to RuneScape:Featured images and take a look at the Ogre Enclave Crystal nomination? The nomination expires today and I would usually take action myself, but I'm a bit too involved in the discussion there, so I'd rather not. It needs to be either be closed as successful or moved to the section for extended nominations. Personally, I would move it to the extended nominations section since there is a considerable amount of opposes, but don't let that influence you, do as you see fit. Thanks. 08:04, October 15, 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'll ask someone else then, thanks anyway. 08:18, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

Group Questing
Hey Chicken, how are you? I've set up the group questing subpage, here it is. 10:05, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

RE:UotM
Thanks Chicken, there is no need to change what you wrote, it's perfect. 11:30, November 5, 2009 (UTC)

Re:Granularity of fish articles
Yup, it looks all good. Couldn't spot any mistakes or anything that needs changing. Nice work. 13:49, November 13, 2009 (UTC)

Re:SVG
Hi Chicken, thanks for letting me know about the pictures. They've been uploaded and can be seen here:

If you would like to suggest any changes, or if you have any others you want me to convert, please leave another note on my talk page. Thanks, cflm (talk) 16:35, November 13, 2009 (UTC)

Sandbox
I undid your edit on my sandbox removing links to mine pages that didn't exist since they really are "wanted pages" (apart from the spelling mistake one). Just informing you in case you wonder why they appear again in the wanted pages tomorrow. 00:27, November 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem, I probably should have left a message next to them saying something to avoid confusion. If you do create pages for them, then try to add them to the Mines page with all the other mines. 00:50, November 14, 2009 (UTC)

Featured Articles
Thanks for the changes, and the effort put into them! KUTGW! -- 00:32, November 20, 2009 (UTC)

Gallery
I've been making galleries like that for over a year now. :P 05:46, November 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * I know, but it just seems that this sort of thing was conceived a tad later than hoped for. 05:55, November 20, 2009 (UTC)

Merchanting ideas
I tend to be a bargain hunter and spend time plowing through the statistics of the game and to use game knowledge to find a "sure thing" instead of trying to depend on old and tired methods. One example is with uncooked pizzas that could be turned into Anchovy pizza with a little bit of skill, and the price difference, for awhile, was a route to nearly double your money if you had some patience. That is also an example of how niche opportunities like this sometimes are fleeting and tend to fill in very quickly. You will never find these mentioned on any money make guide, or if they do show up it will be well after the profit is gone. If/when Plain pizzas ever have their price cap removed, it will be another example of such a profit area to jump on, even though at the moment it is a fools game to even try right now (nobody is selling plain pizzas at the moment except on the black market or to "friends"...*cough* RWTers and other scumbags not withstanding).

I used to do set merchanting, and I still think there is money to be made in the practice, however Jagex has really messed up the opportunity in terms of price and volume controls to the point that set merchanting is now mostly a dead art. It was also one of the few guaranteed methods of making money on the GE... even better than flipping. Actually it is really a long form of flipping as you are taking (usually) items in fairly high supply and making items that are in high demand (sets).

Day trading does work on the GE... but you have to keep your wits about you. Don't buy anything you can't afford to lose money by reselling at tomorrow's min price (aka 5% lower than it is today). In other words, don't invest more than about 30%-40% of the coin reserves that you currently have on day trading in general, and especially on one item. As you gain experience, you might want to slightly decrease your personal reserve requirements here too, but don't go too far. I've met merchants that bet the wrong way and lost most of their personal wealth in one bad move. Buy items that are on price graphs at or near the bottom of a price cycle (looking at the price charts helps here), and if trading get to "know" the items as well as you can. Read the wiki pages about how they are used, what quests may use the item in question, where the item is obtained, and what requirements it has for both use and for obtaining it. Obviously items harder to obtain but easy to use (most dragon armor, as an example) is typically valuable. You can never know too much about an item and how it is used... make sure that you can use the item yourself and get to understand it on a personal level too!

If you are actively merchanting, you will find a "natural" rhythm to how a particular item can be purchased or sold. This is a hard quality to explain, as it depends on understanding other people and their motivations (aka knowledge of how the item is used and the kinds of players using it). Some items tend to have rhythm of having players dump huge numbers on the market at once, and then have players simply buying a few at a time in steady demand. That is a situation merchants absolutely love, as the dumpers tend to sell at min price (they lack the patience to sell to the group of regular customers who buy in small numbers). The opposite is also good, where a bunch of folks sell just a few items at a time (typically lower-level players looking for some quick cash) but a few players buy in huge numbers and want them NOW! The GE price controls tend to be really bad for this sort of merchanting, (aka removal of the price controls would improve the trading situation here and avoid RWT rather than encouraging it) as you need to watch the 4 hour turn around time from the last purchase to when you can resell the goods you have.

One other last item to remember for merchants: Don't mistake a lack of sales due to "artificial" price controls imposed on you by Jagex to be a reflection of the market. If you just purchased a bunch of items and nobody is buying them from you... have patience to wait the 4 hours to get them to start selling. If you are about ready to log out and "have a life" outside of the game, this is a particularly good time to set up sales that may take a bit of patience. On the next time you log back in, you will find a nice tidy profit waiting for you. Make the GE work for you than against you in this manner.

I hope this quick little primer on Merchanting helps out :) --Robert Horning 11:31, November 20, 2009 (UTC)

Chicken, I need to check something with you. I'd type it here but I'm cutting an Elder evil tree at the moment. Come online please, thanks! 12:03, November 20, 2009 (UTC)

ProblemReport #27032
Known issue, a fix has been made and tested and it's just a wait until it gets released with the rest of the code updates. Joey (talk) 20:39, December 5, 2009 (UTC)

Re:Proposal
You forgot the number 1 rule: Runescape:Rwojy is better than everyone (especially Chicken7). 04:06, December 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * If you do that, I will stalk you forever! 04:13, December 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm watching you right now through the camera system I installed. i know that you are a chicken, and that you like the number 7. 04:18, December 6, 2009 (UTC)

Rellekka mine
I wasn't willing to fill the requirements field in the Rellekka mine since for some reason I seemed to remember not being able to go through the gate to the mine without completing Fremennik Trials, though I wasn't 100% sure. I felt it was safer to just leave it as an unknown. Do you know yourself if this is true or not?? 10:24, December 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem. I should probably be the other way around with thanking you since you are fixing up all the mistakes that are due to lazyness on my part when adding the infoboxes. 10:31, December 7, 2009 (UTC)

Christmas!

RE: Kuradal problem report.
thanks a lot, right after i sent the report i saw that it was changed and yeh :P. thanks again, 19:48, December 9, 2009 (UTC)

RE: The bot
Hello! I'll make a reply on the YG thread in a moment -- 22:04, December 9, 2009 (UTC)

RE: Wiki post
Uhh, what idea was that? I tell a lot of my schemes to lots of random people. 06:58, December 11, 2009 (UTC)
 * I made a thread about that a month ago, actually. Where were you? :P 20:22, December 11, 2009 (UTC)

Your messages thing at the start would look better with this:

Detailed images
How do you get the detailed images of items?? I know that it has something to do with the gemw, yet I don't know what. 10:03, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * The music example sounds good. As a dodgy way of bypassing my self-imposed YG hiatus, do you think that the songs unlocked should be merged into the quest details template?? This would prevent the tracks unlocked floating at the bottom of every quest page. 10:17, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * I might just forget about it since if I did suggest it then I would probably very quickly be sucked into a long debate over the most trivial thing and I will go all weird again. 10:26, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

Music Thing
Grats on the acceptation of the project!

Now I simply have one thing to ask: How many songs were released with the new quest ? I can't look since I haven't done it yet and don't want the surprise to be ruined and I need the number of songs in that quest to know what number other quests were (total amount of music tracks available at time of release?).

-Thanks in advance

Merry Christmas Chicken!
 Merry Christmas to you, ^_^! A time for c o o k i e s, love, snow , trees , and all the rest. Your fellow Wikian, 01:46, December 17, 2009 (UTC)

Sorry
Heey, Thanks for telling me that, I really should of read through the policies before I started, but I'll bolden and add a stub to every page I create and as many as I can to those that dont have it, If that makes any sense  10:43, December 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * Haha yeah you're right, as my Mum says, "Learn from your mistakes" . And it's a bit boring reading through those policies . I'd of thought all the music track pages had been done by now, with all the people who put their names down to help, but theres not been many made.  10:51, December 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * Ahh, that explains it. 12:03, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

My first task
Hi, Chicken. I seem to have botched my first task. Sorry. Can you point me in the right direction, please? 17:51, December 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi, Chicken. This is something I'd like to learn how to do. When we are both on next, can you step me through this or follow behind me? I want to get this right. 15:02, December 23, 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi, Chicken. Thanks for the help. I'll make less of a mess next time . 17:39, January 10, 2010 (UTC)
