Farming
It's good that you are looking at the growth times again. Is everything really in a multiple of the weed cycle? The currently listed cycles of 5 and 10 minutes for some crops would suggest not, but I'm open to being convinced otherwise. 10:36, 8 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Ah, what I mean is that all plant cycles are all in synchrony. Take this situation for example: If you have a watered potplant in your inventory, a weeded farm patch, and some freshly planted cabbages all ready. At the same moment that the new weeds will grow back, your potplant will also germinate. The cabbages don't grow though, so you wait a few more minutes (303 seconds). When the weeds grow for the second time, the potatoes advance a farming cycle.


 * What I'm trying to say is that 10 minute cycles can be divided into 5 minute cycles, 20 minute cycles can be divided into 5 minute cycles, and even larger ones. Unfortunately, when people farm, they assume that plants grow randomly because they don't take into account disease, game logging, or other unknown factors. Also, when they record times, they assume when they get 20 minutes and 20 seconds, that the correct time is 20 minutes, and they must have made an error when they recorded the time.


 * This error factor can be eliminated with the use of video footage, a millisecond clock, and multiple recordings to reduce errors. Unfortunately this is an intensive process, and will take quite some time for me to complete. I might start a sandbox to post my latest results for easy access, I'll see how I go.


 * Should I add more columns to the Seed Table for seconds / Minutes / hours? I feel it would be easier to add a decimal point to the minutes, but I'm not sure how people will like it.


 * Zigzagpaul 14:54, 8 May 2009 (UTC)


 * What I mean is, if they all happen syncronously, 10 minutes and 5 minutes are not divisible by 3 minutes. Are the cycles on the page just completely wrong, and all should be in multiples of 3 minutes? 15:28, 8 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Ah, weeds take 303 seconds (5.05 Minutes) to pass a cycle, I hope that clears it up for you. Zigzagpaul 15:36, 8 May 2009 (UTC)


 * D'oh! Senior moment... Cheers 15:37, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

May I ask...
What image editor do you use? Because I saw your transparencys, and they are AMAZING. I wish PhotoFiltre could be that good =\ So what do you use!? =]--Lil diriz 77 04:35, 3 June 2009 (UTC)


 * no prob =] is it easy to use??--Lil diriz 77 05:02, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Err, yeah that'd be great =] --Lil diriz 77 05:02, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Hah, ik :P I'll try to figure things out myself, read the website and whatnot, and if I have questions, i'll ask you tomorrow. sound ok?
 * alright thanks =] maybe cya tomorrow --Lil diriz 77 05:15, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Growth stages
Good job on the allotments :D Are there any trees etc, that I can help you with to capture? 10:07, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

All dem piccies
Very nice work on all the stages of the various flowers? How much did it cost you? :o WWTDD? 13:06, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree, awesome job. 13:14, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Plant growth images
Wow, great job on the plant growth tables and images. They're all taken from great angles and in HD. Good job. They're going to be very useful in explaining the plant growth stages. 16:16, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Nice job on the growth stage images
As others have said, great job. I'll probably tweak a few things here and there if you don't mind, but I know just how much effort that took. Growth stage article is coming sometime soon...too many quests that have needed updating recently.

Oh by the way - looks like they tweaked the Belladonna growth cycle in the last day or so, as I did a normal herb run and was shocked to see one fully grown in around 2 hours.

Funny part is that that's like the one herb tweak that won't affect prices any - 100k people can grow it and 15k can make weapon poison ++, but the combination is far less common and very few herblore assist to clear out the stockpile since it's non tradeable and its still so slow that the only way to make ++ is to get the nightshade spawn in the caves.

Bella seeds are probably gonna be a bit more valuable though. :) Farmyboy 20:31, 4 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Wow, your research is light years ahead of my own - I'd gotten to the synchronized growth parts, but that was about it. My gut is some of it is a bit too complicated and technical for a wiki, but if you'd like I can try to take a stab to simplify it and use it as the basis of the article.


 * And no tweak to herbs were made, just bella seeds. Try a standard herb run and you'll see what I mean...historically they've averaged more around 4-5 hours (someone has it at 280 minutes), and now they're far closer to 2.  I figured this out the easy way, by noting on my harvest spreadsheet that I'd 'picked bella' the run before and there was no way after 90 minutes or so that I'd have a second one...until that happened a third and fourth time.

Seed Picture
Woooahh! Nice table's of the growth. Keep going. 07:24, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Re: Seeds
I've been following what you have been doing, excellent work! I agree that the minimum/maximum time thing would be confusing, and that the second in the seed table would be clutter. Most of what you have written there could be put into the farming page as a new section on growth times. Nice one dude! P.S. The plural of cactus is cacti. 11:18, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Im Famous!!!!!
Thanks for linking to part of my userpage on your see also header. It is a bit like an award! (this message is not sarcastic) 08:19, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 * That is one massive job if you plan on making a list of all the interesting things on people's userpages. I remember how recently there was a page made for active users to sign so see how many there were. I think over 200 signed it in the end. Though, I must admit that I too love browsing the userpages of random people just to see what they have to say. I don't know why I find it enjoying though...
 * Great Signature Btw. It isn't big, blocky and attention seeking but still memorable. The mouse hovering thing is great too. If I ever can be bothered making a new signature, I should use that option code.
 * I noticed your ever-changing picture. It was annoying how you made it a click pic so i had to manually type "Template:signatures/Zigzagpaul" in to the search bar to figure out how you did it. There are so many things I don't know about HTML. I don't actually know if that is HTML coding or something else =P
 * As for the active users list, I managed to locate it though it is older then I remembered. It is here. Most of the people wouldn't still be active on it though.
 * Wow, your signature is now fantastic!! I think there is a problem with the random image and the secret link. You probably already know about it but there is nothing lost pointing it out anyway. The random image doesn't go to the like it says it will go to while hovered over. Also, the secret link has some of the coding appear when it is hovered over.
 * Also, I love the Alt-code sub-page you made. I have never seen a guide on them that goes into detail on how to use them. I could actually use alt codes if I want. Great stuff!!
 * I am not good at alt codes either so I would not be the best person for examples. For the advertising, there in no real easy way of advertising it. The 2 main ways are putting it prominently on your signature or on your userpage. You have already done both. I am not sure on anything apart from that. POssibly, someone who reads this because of recent changes will have better ideas though.
 * No problem. Can I sign your guestbook yet or is it still under construction??

Uotm vote
Thanks for yer vote, on my nomination for User of the Month! I appreciate it :-P. 19:01, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 * ^_^ It was my pleasure.

RE: Thank you for the code!
No problem. I've been thinking of making a navbar myself, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. 14:19, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I'm working on it right now. 14:34, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Kyttis pics
Kytti has not been on in quite a while so don't expect an answer any time soon. Alternatively, check the pic upload log to see who else does high quality images, they should be able to direct you.--Degenret01 04:02, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Re: Style codes
Wow. That signature contained so much unnecessary code. I've fixed it, I will message you later with some guides. 09:03, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Don't worry about sending the guides too much, while I was waiting I found some.

- about all I used. 08:47, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * That's really awesome, thanks for them! Why don't I see any use of collapsible tables in your userpages? They seem to be useful for organizing information. 

Thanks!
Wow,you really know your stuff! Thanks a lot um...Ziggy,I cannot believe you welcomed youself...=P -- 16:38, 19 June 2009 (UTC) You better believe it! If you saw some cake lying about, you'd welcome yourself to it wouldn't you? Although I just figured out how to sign it XD harr~! ElfAnurin tha chameleon said he's gonna hook me up with some goooood code so he's mah code dealer for now :3
 * I would not! I would ask the person who made the cake,and...*sniffs*,and uhh,ask them and *sniffs*,get permission,and uhh....excuse me for a sec.....*welcomes self to cake and swallows*....Yeah,that was good...Oh,uh...I like pies more than cake..>.> Well,I can see you know your codes and have been doing pretty well on the wiki,but if you need anything,let me know,so keep up the good work! p.s. May the bunny be with you.(http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/1225/bunnywithsgs.png) -- 19:26, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * My CodeWriting level is  ⚽ ''Uh-oh, looks like there's still a long way to go :3

Heads up
Your page "User:Zigzagpaul/code" has created a ton of Wanted pages. I really have no idea what is going on, I am just mentioning it incase you understand it more then me. 09:34, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * They probably were fixed, wanted pages is nearly always lagging a day behind the wiki. I couldn't find any text on the page so I thought it must be a problem with wanted pages. What do they actually do if they don't need text?? 09:49, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * You just awnsered my question with that message. 09:59, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Re:
Oh,thank you,add suggestions on my talk page,ill likely never see the other one. By the way,I'm not signed in,but I can assure you its me. heres my sig: gtg,see ya 'round

Signature
Hello, just wanted to let you know that the skills link in your signature is broken. -- 21:51, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Whoa
Wow,your talk page looks crazy! (thats pretty good,ya know.) Your CodeWriting level is  ⚽

I cannot believe you know all those codes! Anyway,I need your help on something,I saw the image of the buny with a scim,so I thought you know your stuff. so,I was hoping you might be able to make an image of: + http://i640.photobucket.com/albums/uu128/Jediadam4/FluffyBunnytrans-1.png + to make an image of a bunny holding both. I figured that since you are really good with images,you can do it. please remember to add transparency! thanks,zig. have a wily cake! -- 16:10, 22 June 2009 (UTC)


 * No problem! Thanks for the compliment hehe. I thought the page looked kinda shabby with te gaps in the images XD. Mmm, cake... Now if only there was some sugar in it... I can't seem to find any in runescape..

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d29/SirJames2005/FluffyBadass.gif

Thanks,you rock! p.s. the glow thing is awesome too! try splenda! jk,I hate splenda....-- 20:22, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

This page is an experiment! If anyone knows if I can make images in tables tighter, please leave me a message
