RE:Harsh
They changed 28k to over 300k. I would not have blocked for that minor mistake that you undid. I always try my best to assume good faith, and that's a fact. 23:47, 5 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Ah, thanks for pointing that out. Guess I didn't look closely enough at that one. I've unblocked that IP in the hopes that it was good faith, but I'll be watching them. 00:07, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I was just curious, do you often look at how we hand out blocks for vandalism? I personally think its a pretty good thing. Oversight and review to prevent abuse can only help us stay on course.--Degenret01 01:58, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

RE: Vandal bot leave?
It seems so. 04:29, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, no. He struck while I was typing. >;[ 04:31, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I think they just entered in the text in the summary to make it look like they did. 04:36, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Vandal bot
Soldier told me he was going to come back. I got to Rollback some of the articles.

Well done all! :)

More came back. :(

"Damn! Howd he get rollback powers?!?"

Were you referring to me? If so, I got it by asking a Bureaucrat. :D

Email
I tried to email you regarding the God Wars event, but it said you hadn't entered a valid email address. Can you correct that so I can send you a copy of our plans please?

RE: Program?
Hi Enigma. I saw the Abyss picture, and I know whats wrong (maybe). Let me try to explain how I do it: You make an animation with Camtasia recorder, after you make one, you save it and edit it in Camtasia Studio. Then edit it the way you want, and click in bottomleft corner on: Produce video as..., then Costum production settings, then (the last option): GIF - Animation file, then you shouldkeep on clicking on Next.... In one of these Next... pages, you can choose what colours you want to use, and how many frames. I don't know for sure, but I think I have the highest amount of frames, and 256 colours. After that, keep clicking, and click on complete. Your computer will now start on making the GIF. If it's done, you recieve a message and the newly-made GIF opens in a new internet-page. From there, just save it where you want. That's the way I do it, if it still doesn't work, just ask me!--. 17:26, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I will replace the Goblin Sphere images, but I cannot guarantee today. Tell me, what costume should I wear? ;)--. 11:47, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

A Few Things
Just thought I'd stop by and say a few things, here's a link to my new story. I also just saw Vimescarrot's name on the RS home page. His question got answered by MMG. Thirdly, don't forget to talk to Chia about the newspaper, I want to write another short story soon, or perhaps like an editorial, I'm not sure but I'm kind of anxious lol. Finally, I just got 70 Slayer, one less skill to get to 70 ^_^. 20:53, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Re:CVU
No, please continue to use it as I am not always at my desk, and it's handy to see that the CVU has been updated. =D 19:42, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

deleating the page
thanks but i dont want it, i lost all intrest in that item/page... srry

Re: Enigma's Quest
I liked it, but the dying part wasn't fun, atleast I took down a Vyrewatch with me. The girl also reminds me of Summer from Spirit of Summer, and Summer's End. Overall 4.5/5 I hope you expand on it/make another. 09:47, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Not bad, the ending could be better though, who is that evil little girl, and why couldn't I just use emergency teleport to teleport away? Overall 4.5/5, I hope you expand on it/make another. --Jack Spiral1 14:34, 22 February 2009 (UTC) P.S. What if you have the player choose some equipment at the beginning of quest, and only let the player choose perform certain actions if he had the necessary item.


 * Well that's what Beta's are for, and Jack copied part of my response, rawr. I like the Dodge, Attack, etc. options. Now that I'm dead, I want to go Zombie on those vampyres. 15:58, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Sorry I copied some of your answer, What you said was what I thought too. --Jack Spiral1 00:00, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Hey Enigma,I know it wasn't intended for me,but I uh,heh heh,saw the link on Jacks Talk and it just had to be clicked,uh,heh heh heh....I just wanted to give you my response on it,so,I thought it was a good idea,just a bad ending,too bad I got owned by a noob vampire.... - 18:43, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

I saw your responses to them,I know that it was a beta,but I thought it was a good idea, lemme know if you ever fix it! - Hunter

Woot Orange juice in a cocktail glass and bagels/donuts! I was feeling kind of hungry and then I saw those, I love it! TYSM! 20:43, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Re: Your stories and the newspaper
Thanks for the notice, I think I'll put The Godsword in as my first submission there. Also do you think I should touch it up a bit? Like add more details and refine some of the langauge? I will talk to Tien or Jack about submitting multiple, but first I need to get to rewrites of The Stone. I haven't even started on chapter 1 yet lol. 00:47, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I see it may be hard, but it was the best I could do without overlapping some of the runes, in regards to font size. I simply did the photo editting in MS Paint, and I got the font as a picture from Flaming Text 15:35, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I have Corel Paint Shop Pro, much like photoshop, but I only use it to add transparency. Feel free to make any changes you like :) 16:23, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Re:Too many categories
OK, done. But why is that rule in place? I can't think of any reasons why I can't help out in all three sections... 03:30, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I see. If we get started and not all of the categories are full, can I sign up for a second or third one again? 20:18, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Oh OK, thanks. I don't suppose there's any chance of expanding categories if people want to participate in more than one? I doubt I'm the only one who's signed up for more than one category (Jediadam for example). 01:28, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Re: Counter Vandalism
Thanks for the advice. :) I haven't actually done much with CVU, so I probably mess things up sometimes. I will learn though. :P Butterman62 (talk) 17:16, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Hey 9th, I think it would be useful to have all the various warning type templates with brief descriptions in one place, and since you use them, do you know of any one place where they are? Yes, it is quite fine for you to lol at this sysop for not knowing. I meander around and do the best I can. --Degenret01 10:09, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Awesome, pretty much along the lines of what I've been thinking. Which template for which type offence, like that. I'll be more than happy to help push it after you propose it since your doing the work. It is much appreciated. And there is a worlds difference between the chuckle at a fellow human vs the laughter of disrespect. If I can provide a few chuckles here and there I figure I'm doing a good thing. --Degenret01 23:50, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Can you help me?
Hello. I am 16:51, 14 March 2009 (UTC). I play runescape as a free player. I was wondering what some good money-making monsters (aside from hill giants and flesh crawlers,) that I could train on. I am level 42 combat, but not a pure. However, I am only level 5 range. I am about 35 melee and 42 magic. I have defence 30, but only wear mith armour. Can you help me? Thanks, 16:51, 14 March 2009 (UTC). P.S. Im going for the drops, not xp. Thanks, (again) -- 23:10, 14 March 2009 (UTC). P.S.S. Please sign my guestbook while you're there! 23:54, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Wikia Post reporting
Thanks for the heads-up on the Wikia post article. Are you assigning article topics, or should I come up with my own article idea? Is there a story list somewhere I can check to see what everyone else is writing on? 02:09, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

When should I turn it in? What is my due date? 17:05, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

I just posted my article on missing randoms here. I posted the entire article here here. Let me know if I didn't do this right or if you need something else.

Maybe I posted it in the wrong spot, but what I wrote was not a news article but a essay on the missing randoms. Perhaps it is better categorized as an opinion piece?

Sorry to hear my writing is "unaceptable."

RE:RSW Post
Okay. I'll be in Colorado all week but I'll get it done ASAP. 03:19, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Re:template
It's. -- 22:36, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Your welcome. :) -- 22:39, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Check through all the user talk templates here. I think they have some there that you didn't have on your CVU temp page. -- 23:29, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't know if you wanted me to do this, but I added two "blocked" templates at the bottom of the page. Hope you don't mind. -- 01:45, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, maybe not two weeks, but in the future, I might go for another. :) 01:55, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Adminship: A Popularity Contest?

By Soldier 1033

We are very fortunate here at the wiki because the community decides everything, and the community also gives our administrators powers. However, lately, I have noticed that RfAs and RfFs have been more about the “perks” and less about the actual administrative duties. Don’t get me wrong, though; there is nothing wrong with wanting to become an administrator. Heck, even I wanted to become one for a little while before my RfA, but here’s the catch: people want to become administrators just for the sake of saying that they have some sort of “power” even when they will have none. If you want to become an administrator because you want to do more to prevent vandalism, go for it. If you want to become an administrator because you want to impress your friends, you shouldn’t go for it.

The RfA and RfF processes weren’t always like this. In fact, I hadn’t really noticed much of a chance up until several months ago. The candidate overview page is now almost always full of nominations, sometimes full of people that rarely edit the wiki.

I have never and never will object to someone being given administrative privileges, regardless of whether or not I supported their RfA; however, if they do not understand why they are being given these privileges then they should be considering that on their own.

In my honest opinion, the way to end this “popularity contest” is to show people what being an administrator/forum administrator is really like. It’s not fun and games, unless you consider staying up late and dealing with a computer program that is built to wreak havoc or reverting edits made by contributors that decided to randomly change the prices of items to “99999999999” or some to add some random obscene phrase. Administration is a responsibility; administration is about setting a positive example for others to follow; administration is not about popularity.

Hi Enigma. I was wondering, do I need to write anything else for the newspaper or am I good? Currently, I have written an editorial and a short article. 23:18, 28 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Ah, so I really am one of the lead editors? I thought so, but I never took it seriously. Okay then. :P   14:49, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

I was told by Telos that I was supposed to be making a comic. I will not be able to make one in time. Can I do one for the next paper instead?
