User talk:Evil yanks/Archive2

RE:Archive
Glad the code could be of use to you (they're free anyway). Your choice of image looks good (I should have thought of that...). 08:47, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Wut? Caleb, are you hiding the fact that you are trying to do my job? O_o 08:56, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It was actually my job but wiki wasn't working.  09:02, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Lol Powers, I'm not too clear what job we're referring to anyway. Yanks, a bit of a stretch? Lol. 11:55, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, I was actually referring to the part about "Common mispellings". "Mornings End" is not exactly a common mispelling, more like a not-so-common typo. I'm sure that if someone didn't find their page, they would realise their mistake a few moments later...but this isn't too important anyway. I'm not sure what you mean by the first statement though (time?). 12:09, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I would tend to disagree. By fixing the link, you're fixing a very blatant spelling error in the article and it's always better to link directly to an article than a redirect (imo). I see where you're coming from though. 12:27, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Quiz
You did a Quiz of Doom - I did a summer quiz =D 16:07, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

How was your first delete  07:07, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Re:Deleting Inert Obelisk
Non-interactive scenery is the rationale and no it's not necessary to contact the creator of a deleted article, just be able to justify your actions if they ask.-- 01:14, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Don't worry, you're still quite new, even the most senior (or should I say fossilised) of us still make mistakes, you're doing a fine job.-- 01:17, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

RE: Oh Yeah!
Yup, that's me 15:27, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

RE:Changing policies
I'll just go ahead and answer the question you posted on Degenret's talk page. The changes are perfectly fine since they are only correcting spelling errors and not changing the intended meaning of the policy, so go ahead. 10:02, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Forum
That thread is just something I'd like to see users use to share how they build community or ideas they have for others to do so. Myself, I'm here, the MechScape Wiki, MechStop, MechScape World, Jagex Wikia, and a few others...In addition to this site I'm also working on developing a large scale event regarding 3 fansites (all 3 fansites are involved) so it's a work in progress, but, meh...I'm trying. =) 06:30, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * No, not at all. 15:24, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

RE:Questions
Hope you won't mind me just answering and not copying the questions. :P


 * 1) Editing the Wiki is a great hobby and can pass time really quickly if you aren't too careful. It seems really fun to me and I feel great when I can contribute something that others have no idea of yet. (I also spread my aspiring sense of "humor" around this wiki ;) )
 * 2) My name...I was 11 at the time, so I don't know why I chose before, haha. I'm sure there are plenty players out there who asks themselves, "Why did I use this name before?"
 * 3) My favorite thing to do? Anti-vandalism work. Why? I have no clue also. :P It just entertains me to rollback them. They probably think that no one will ever notice, but they soon get a warning message and/or block and probably make an excuse "What? I didn't vandalize" then we show them proof and say something like "Oh my brother did that" :D
 * 4) I am teh mostest awesomest wikian evah! Naw, I think it's either Azliq or Calebchiam for me. Azliq works hard to update our GEMW items and charts and I remember her revising the dates format herself. She also added the site meter for us to see how much people visited our wiki. Caleb works hard to remove wanted pages, fixing double redirect, active almost everyday, and would be glad to help you if you ask him. As for you Yanks....err....uh...No comments. :D
 * 5) Rolling on the floor laughing helicoptors? I never really get roflcopters. O_o


 * 1) I am Powers38, also known as the Master of Evil Yanks and Gaz Lloyd, worshiper of Quarenon. (or talk page stalker, whatever suits you. :D )
 * 2) While playing RuneScape, I like to talking with people at the Grand Exchange and check the Wiki simultaniously.
 * 3) Pizza is a food that is fit for only me.
 * 4) My worst habit is panicking for almost losing a fire cape/getting really excited over some rare drops because it's only a game. (Yes laugh all you want. :
 * 5) I am really confused with this sentence and that the Beatles are awesome X sixty-four.

But seriously, I didn't get that last sentence. :P 06:59, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

What mate? I'm not Australian...Excuse me *Australian accent* Mate, I'm not Australian* 07:45, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) Patrolling the Recent changes. I love to keep clicking recent changes. :P
 * 2) I said I'm not Australian, mate.
 * 3) High level content....please! Something like a new boss monster or an area filled with mostly strong monsters with great drops. Aquanites are ok, but my Slayer fails.
 * 4) I don't really have a favorite skill. All have their ups and downs. Although I do like to train Summoning to gain access to more familiars that can help me. :)

Interview?
I've seen that you are *Eh-Hum* interviewing all the admins (or at least trying to...) So naturally I would want to interview one as well....YOU!

So can I interview you, i have a couple of questions I've been thinking of ^^ 07:50, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Do you have an MSN file, it makes things easier. Besides if we have here everybody will be able to see the interview before its "published". 10:56, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Do you still remember the password? 11:07, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Right, click on the "add contact" button, then type "ruudvan250@hotmail.com" or just tell me your hotmail ID and I'll add you. 11:19, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Your not logged in.... 11:30, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Whos Azbot?
Your the 2nd person that accused me of vanadium, i wasn't even on my computer yesterday! please pv me in the game, to get this sorted out. thanks you, parsonsda

hacking problem fixed,
It turns out it was my brother was on it, i have changed my pass and i shouldn't happen again, thanks for your time

besides im normal on runescapehd.wiki.com my new runescape hd site, so im not normally on anymore =)

RE: Deleting images
If the name still applies to the image, I usually just upload it under the same name. If a new name is required, then upload the new image in the old name, and move it to the new name. (FYI, moving images can only be done by sysops. Normal users would require the help of a sysop to move images.)

Can I know which images are you talking about? 07:59, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * If the number of links is less than 10, I would update the links in the user pages manually and delete the image. If there are more than 10, I would use AzBot to do it for me...  08:14, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * LOL. I would update the link to point to the new image. 08:24, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Just to let you know
Your interview has been placed in the RSWP here. 12:03, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Err...how do you apologise "profoundly"? Maybe "profusely"? 12:12, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't want to mess around too much with his answers, though I do think "profusely" is the correct word as well.  12:34, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yep, feel free to change it. 14:23, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

RE:Pink floyd
Wish you were here was awesome!, I generally listen to it when I'm going to sleep, but The wall is my favourite Pink Floyd album, Just something I have with concept albums. 07:21, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Southwests all gone
Woot!, it wasn't that hard 11:06, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I ploughed through most of the southeasts, but got aggravated after the first 50-75 10:09, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Or set it on the preferences 11:05, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I've got the southwesterns, just rev hunting at the moment, need reflexes. 11:07, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I was aiming to miss all of the them, seems I was just getting bored and trying to finish them ASAP. I only have two hours a day on the internet and generally don't want to spend my time correcting RS:SG mistakes all the time 10:14, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Nah, I don't feel forced, it's actually quite a hobby, I was thinking about taking a Wikibreak, my Runescape account is falling behind (My brother is level 71, I'm level 78 and he started seven months after me.)Man, This discussion is getting long 10:31, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Thinking about it now, I really don't have a very good experience with wikibreaks, the first one I took was involuntary, the second lasted two days, I think i still have the wikibreak sign on my talk page. 10:55, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Was sorely missed those two days  10:59, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Wasn't I talking in the past tense? 11:03, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, yes, but I was putting across the message that I was putting off the idea of a wikibreak, isn't the English language fun 11:08, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

I cheated lol, I bumped it. While I do have a satisfactory answer, it has been somewhat interesting to read some of the thoughts expressed so far :P --Degenret01 14:23, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Knightmax20
Hi Evil Yanks I was going through the newbies' contributions page, hoping to find someone to welcome, and I see that this Knightmax20 dude is advertising his site. This generally just gets me so GRR I don't know what to say, I'm not sure it's my job to give him a warning (definitely not a block, I'm not an admin :o) or to tell him on his talkpage to stop, or what, but since you're online (or at least, you were 10 minutes before I posted this :|), could you warn/block him? People are supposed to sign up to the Wiki to help, not advertise their own site. I'm going to delete his edits right now. So all in all, warn/block him please :) -- 08:29, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Indeed Thanks anyway :) -- 22:47, September 1, 2009 (UTC)

RE:You work fast!
Hehe, thanks. I just scanned through the article and made a few touch-ups, not a too major rewrite lol. 12:07, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Lol, *shrugs*. I've done this wikifying thing a lot of times before. 12:12, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Re:Forums
Very interesting indeed. I wonder what the chance of that happening is. - 20:05, September 1, 2009 (UTC)

Mountain
Erm...the second tallest mountain in the world is K2... 10:49, September 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh right 11:10, September 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * You've inspired me with this quiz, I think i might make one...about classic rock bands and guitarists ^^ 11:17, September 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * White stripes rule!, have you listened to System of a down before? 11:59, September 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * Made the Quiz....there was your invitation  12:00, September 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * Which ones did you know 100% (but don't tell the answers!)... 12:02, September 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * System are awesome, Mesmerize and hypnotize are two of the greatest albums I've ever listened to, they can be a bit offensive with their language but otherwise....they rule!, there is also another system fan on this wiki 12:08, September 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hypnotize, look what this innocent conversation about mountains turned into...I also have to go as well. 12:12, September 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * I've also create another Quiz I dare you to take it  10:54, September 3, 2009 (UTC)

Leak?
Ohai you reverted the edit in which I removed the extra skill level found in the total level of the high scores as opposed to the in-game skills menu, since you felt it might really be a leak. Here's the edit summary. However since I made that edit, I found this thread on the RSOF, where Mod Ianh said it was a glitch. Therefore, I think it can safely be removed now. If you still disagree, I am prepared to, as I promised, eat my shoe. http://img154.imageshack.us/img154/9333/shoeeat.jpg 02:33, September 6, 2009 (UTC)

Listen to this
- System of a down, aerials. One of my favourite system of a down songs, also one of there least offensive 07:23, September 7, 2009 (UTC) - B.Y.O.B, this one is a bit more fast paced, also has a number of expletives. 07:38, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

 * I just edit conflicted with myself  07:59, September 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * I had a reply ready, my intuition, but when I clicked the link on my talk page to yours, and wrote a completely different reply, i clicked the second reply, then i saw the other window (with my other reply) and clicked that as well. anyway i have to go, I'll be back on in about and hour and thirty minutes.  08:05, September 9, 2009 (UTC)

RE:AotM
I didn't specify that I would rather vote for Lord Drakan than Bob the Jagex Cat. By "void my vote", I meant don't count it in to the number of supporters. Striking through my vote means that I'm taking it back, which is not the case. 09:42, September 10, 2009 (UTC)

Q&A

Favourite guitar solo?
What is your favourite guitar solo? 10:49, September 11, 2009 (UTC)
 * For a long time, I would have said the second guitar solo in Comfortably numb, but recently the most amazing guitar solo (The one which made me stop, with my mouth open for 6 seconds) was the first segment of the three segement guitar solo of "My Guitar Wants To Kill Your Mama", the guitar solo included Frank zappa, Joe satriani and Steve vai and Eric johnson on bass, the first segment was frank zappa and was awesome, and it wasn't until the end of the song, that I noticed it was live. Another great Frank zappa guitar solo was the one in the Muffin man (Also one of the weirdest songs I've ever heard). 06:59, September 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * Funny how you answered that just after I logged in  10:10, September 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * Less like a sign, more like an omen!  10:19, September 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * This kind of comment is becoming common, what is your favourite white stripes song? 08:25, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

RE:I will overtake you
Maybe back when I had more of a desire to post on the forums I would try to compete but I rarely find threads that interest me enough to post on anymore. 03:11, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

RE:The white stripes??
Now we can start our conversational flow again ^^. Have you considered making a "reserved for example user" like powers? I couldn't believe it yesterday when my dad said he only knew of 2 white stripes songs, they were "Seven Nation Army" and "My doorbell". Coincidentally, your favourites also happen to be some of my favourites as well. 08:55, September 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * I like them all the same, although, I am more favourable towards White blood cells and Elephant. What about you? 09:53, September 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * I was just wondering, do you like Led Zeppelin? 10:20, September 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * Led Zeppelin, are sort of like the Beatles, they can do dome horrendously bad songs, but then they can do some amazingly good songs, (Kashmir, stairway to heaven, whole lotta love) but, as with the Beatles (in certain cases), it's been their name which has sold the albums, not the music. 10:45, September 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * Huzzah!, your name is coming up in green on the Recent changes now. 10:14, September 18, 2009 (UTC)

RE:RFAs
I saw you around a lot more than I see Ruud around so that had to do with it, but yes I also take into account who the nominator is. If someone very active and trusted in the community nominates you then that says a lot. You have also been here a lot longer than Ruud has (August '08 for you, January '09 for him). 16:17, September 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * De nada. 04:32, September 21, 2009 (UTC)

Re:RFA's
Yes, that seems to be what happens in most discussions. Its a good thing the people everyone agree with have good judgment for the most part. If they didn't, people would be vehemently supporting some pretty silly things. 04:01, September 21, 2009 (UTC)
 * You aren't accusing us of trying to steer a discussion in a certain direction for personal gain are you? O_o I've often noticed that people don't agree with me in many discussions. 04:31, September 21, 2009 (UTC)
 * It was your comment on Psycho's page that I was talking about. I'm just not really sure I understand what you meant. 04:34, September 21, 2009 (UTC)
 * That makes sense. Thanks. ^^ 04:51, September 21, 2009 (UTC)

Spellchecker
I gather the spelling checker, with plurals, will mark the word; but not the end S, i'm not sure with capitals though, even at the moment i'm not using it; i'll have to import the script. Funny thing is, I was just about to leave you a message asking you for spelling suggestions ^^. BTW, thanks for the support on my RFA, on it and about it. 07:39, September 22, 2009 (UTC)

You've deleted a picture that was in no violation
I posted an image of two players walking past the gem mine in Shilo Village. In this image a fence separated the players from the gems and a caption said something like "The gem mine cannot be accessed unless the Shilo Village quest is completed".

This image with the FENCE and the two players put EMPHASIS on the fact that there is no way to enter the gem mine otherwise. This image mentioned no names of players. No players were speaking in this image.

I demand to know what your reason is for deleting this image from the Shilo Village (City) article.

RE:Historical image
Yeah, no problem. I nearly made the same mistake as you did before. 11:45, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

Jad's Max hit
I think Jad's max hit is 109 because the new fish from the living rock caverns place can heal more than you have hitpoints, and doing the hitpoints cape emote also gives an extra hitpoint. 05:34, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

jad hitting 109
I am guessing, maybe with that new fish that heals you to 10 over your hp. This comp takes abut a min to load a page so Im not going to look it up right now sorry. Stupid work computers. --Degenret01 05:35, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

Me calling people dumb
Forwarding a message I wrote on another person's talk page who spoke of the same matter:

I get angry when I read quest context where people make "suggestions" that something "might" be based off of this or that, hahaha, when it's beyond all obviousness that it is. What good does that serve? Are editors here so afraid they might touch upon an ACTUAL connection to real world occurrences that they may end up getting shot? The wording of some of these articles reads like there's some sort of severe consequence for the writer to the discovery of Jagex basing some of their quests off of real life. lol, seriously, they and whoever supports them need to lighten up. I just put that sometimes in the edit summary, anyway, I don't see why it's a problem.

Perhaps you'd care to share?

Sorry Evil yanks, but I would tend to disagree. I block when the IP has committed blatant vandalism and has malicious intent. While I agree that IP vandal may turn over a new leaf, I see no reason to give them another chance to vandalise if they have already done so once. I disagree that I am heavy-handed and unwelcoming to new users, if anything, it's only to IP vandals, not new users. I believe that a block gives the IP vandal time to mull over his edits and reflect on his actions, and believe that it also shows them that there will be consequences for vandalising. If I see the need to, I will warn the vandal, but otherwise I believe that the block reason is ample warning for them. 11:44, October 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * Alright then. But to add on, if that is your way of dealing with vandals, then fine by me. But if I am blocking the IP vandal for a legitimate reason, then you shouldn't be accusing me of being heavy-handed and unwelcoming. 11:57, October 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't believe I'm compromising the Wiki's image. Vandalism is a serious offence, and should not be taken lightly. If someone vandalises an article, you don't just give them a warning and say don't do it again (unless it's for minor edits). I am simply following policy, and I can't think of any reasons to let them go scot-free. Yes, articles can easily be rollbacked, but that doesn't make their offence any less serious. I could easily argue that the Main page can easily be rollbacked so we shouldn't place a protection on it, but that's not the point. The point is that they are vandalising the Wiki, new users who access the articles will see the vandalism, and be so offended that they decide not to be active in the Wiki. That's the harm of letting vandals run their course, and being so nonchalant about vandalism. 06:33, October 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * So ultimately, if you believe that my blocking of vandals for vandalism on their first offence, is harming the Wiki's image, then so be it. I'm following policy, not assuming bad faith, and I believe that new users are more important than vandals, and I will continue to do as I have always done. 06:40, October 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * I completely understand what you mean. Believe it or not, I myself follow that policy. Even if they change the price from say "10000" to "1", I wouldn't block them. However, in this case, it was 3 deliberate offences, so I wasn't going to let it side. I understand where you're coming from when you say that you believe a warning is better than a block, and I tend to give second chances if the edit was minor, however a warning is not compulsory to have before you can block a vandal. Anyway, regarding your policy quotes: "If they did minor vandalism, such as less than five incidents, then limit the block to less than a week.", I followed this, I gave a 3-day block (which is the default). "Overall, don't be too hard on the IP addresses. If user accounts continually do harm, they can be blocked indefinitely, though not if they only did a few incidents." refers to blocking indefinitely, which makes perfect sense, but I don't see how it applies here. Thanks for the explanation though, now I understand why you said that IPs who vandalise but didn't know their edit couldn't be seen shouldn't be blocked. IMO, those aren't vandals, which is probably why we differ. Cheers. 02:31, October 10, 2009 (UTC)
 * To be honest, the User block policy is vague enough for both of us to be right and wrong at the same time. It is unclear whether an incident refers to "a case of vandalism" or "an act of vandalism". You're probably thinking, "What's a case of vandalism?" By that, I mean that it is the occurence where someone vandalises and it refers to multiple acts of vandalism but within the same timeframe. So if an IP vandalises 10 separate pages before he gets blocked, that is one case of vandalism. By an act of vandalism, it simply refers to the edit where the IP has vandalised. Multiple acts of vandalism can occur in a case of vandalism. I'm quite sure it doesn't refer to 5 cases of vandalism, as that usually warrans a month-long block or longer. But if it refers to 5 acts of vandalism, then it's up to your interpretation of the sentence. I don't think it means if they vandalised 5 times, give them at most 1 week, and if they vandalised once, give them one-fifth of a week. I think it means that if the IP vandalised anywhere from 1 to 5 times, give them a week-long block at most. Of course, there are exceptions to this (e.g. threats, extreme racism and whatnot). 04:05, October 10, 2009 (UTC)


 * Blanking one paragraph is just as bad as blanking the entire page, replacing the entire page with noob is just as bad as randomly writing noob at the start of a paragraph, vandalising one parameter of the gemw field is just as bad as vandalising three. No matter what they do, it is still vandalism.


 * Mm, another point where we differ. I strongly believe that the degree of vandalism is very important for one to determine if the edit was actual vandalism or not. Like I've said already, the opportunistic vandals that you speak of, I don't really view them as actual vandals. For example, if a user went to the Soul Wars article and blanked the "Introduction" section, you believe that it's as bad as blanking the whole article? Following RS:AGF, we should consider why the IP might have done so. Maybe because the IP felt that an introduction section might not be necessary, etc. However, blanking the whole page is much worse, as it doesn't specifically target any section, and is simply complete removal.


 * You have to take into account the amount of damage the IP is causing to determine whether it is a vandal or not, it's a very important factor. Replacing the entire page with noob is worse than randomly writing noob somewhere in the article, as the first further shows that the user has malicious intent by completely removing the content of that page. And that's why I believe that the opportunistic vandal that you talk about, if the IP really was that, I don't think they would have purposely added incorrect information to multiple parameters. Their doing so further backs up my belief that they are actual vandals. All that being said, I wouldn't block for content removal unless it was repeated and with no explanations (see Special:Contributions/122.107.149.7 and User talk:Bonziiznob/Arch 4 if you will). Yes, it is all vandalism, but it's vital that we stop and consider how much damage the IP has done before deciding on a block time. 05:38, October 10, 2009 (UTC)


 * Mm, I can't say I disagree with your method of blocking vandals, but it seems that I'm pretty strict (maybe too much) and you're pretty lenient with vandals. If a vandal actually defied a warning, I'd most probably give him a 5-7 day block, but let's leave it at that. 06:28, October 10, 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, thanks to you as well . This was a very interesting and hardly stressful argument. 06:35, October 10, 2009 (UTC)
 * Soldier, Revan, Hurston (although he's been on a Wikibreak for ages :/) I can list off pretty quickly. Maybe Azaz (he's proably more strict than I am) or Powers as well. 06:40, October 10, 2009 (UTC)

Re: Jagex Fansite Q&A
Thanks for telling me about it. Although it's good that we now have another chance to ask Jagex some questions about fansites, I'm not sure there's much that we can do after all we've done in the Forum:How Jagex contacted the FO Wiki thread. I'll just create a Yew Grove thread to inform the others about it, in case they do have any questions to ask. Thanks again  12:39, October 24, 2009 (UTC)

MechScape World and Mod Mat K
I can't confirm those qoutes. On MechScape World, a Jagex staff member would be assigned a specific badge, as Mod MMG has, however the user posting on the forum does not have one, so it's safe to assume it's not directly Mod Mat K (and it's not, I can confirm that). The qoutes he has made can not be found on the forums under Mod Mat K's forum post, but as I heard mod's were hiding their posts and such I looked into a couple other j-mods and found their posts are still not hidden with regards to comment on the log. So, I'm assuming that the qoutes were not made on the Forums. The only thing I can find that would put some validity on them are if they were said ingame, but I doubt it. They do however sound valid, but if we are moving them, I'd still try to find Mod Mat K's original post, or qoute another J-Mod. Mod Howes has made some post on the Log in the forums. 17:03, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Desysop
Like I said, some may find it immature of me, and to some extent I agree. The fact of the matter is I no longer wish to represent a group which is believed to be something I don't want to be a part of. Relinquishing these tools in just a minor set-back to myself, not the wiki. I will still be around and still able to do everything I did before, I'll just need a bit of extra help again. I'd much rather represent the community without the current sterotypes/standards of a specific position within in so until I feel they are gone, I feel comfortable in my move and I hope you can support my decision.

As Azaz stated, I could request the tools back at any time, so that is an option if I feel a different stance on the matter. Thanks though. 11:58, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

I didn't think to record the diggable areas until after the first location.

Chiafriend12
Thank you for your message. I was quite ready to drop the whole thing, actually, but an additional comment by another user on the forum has, well, rather pissed me off. He said I should apologize for "getting everyone involved", which I will not agree to, for I do not think it was wrong of me to bring this issue to the community's attention. By all means, if Chiafriend12 remains still unresponsive, and if you still think I am doing the wrong thing, then get Wikia staff or helpers here, then, and ask them to arbitrate. I will make these points: Chiafriend12 has still yet to respond to any of the messages sent to him, and my efforts to contact him in-game (which he and Gaz Lloyd had suggested to me, for some reason) also failed, I fear. It gets me a little offended, actually, like he's ignoring me. But that's just my opinion. What of yours? Ralnon (talk) 06:43, November 3, 2009 (UTC)

Help please with pic file
I haven't tried adding pics in quite a long time and I guess I don't know how any more. On the Shooting_Star article I tried removing some bad sentences and leaving a pic that someone placed in the middle of the sentence but the pic keeps getting deleted also. Oddly, you can't see exactly what change I made 100% as it has my changes adding some text like "file keep delete" which I am absolutely not adding but I am getting way frustrated. Anyhow, do we have a current instruction page somewhere that would explain why this is happening? Thanks --Degenret01 05:50, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

Another comment about pics and landing sites.
I think what would be helpful for new chasers/spotters/hunters is if they can see all the spots on the page at once. Now where we have 6 or 7 spots, oh well, nice idea but hardly feasible. But where there are 3 (Pisc Gnome Tira) or 4 (Fally guild Fally west craft Rimmy) it should be easy. Just an idea to help guide you. I was noticing last night that with the maps of Pengui areas I can no longer see all spots without scrolling. I will consider making a second list minus the maps.--Degenret01 14:02, November 5, 2009 (UTC)


 * Morytania sites solo run
 * Hmmm, I never tried that. I often do the first two steps, then tele back to house and use Khryll portal again and run behind the pub and through the swamp using the boat to get to the Burg spot. But that is if I get the message that it is down. If I am still on scope when I get to the one minute time, I head for Burg that second, can often get there right round when the minute is up, then use steps 1 and 2 as steps 2 and 3, allowing me to check all 3 spots within 30 seconds of impact. You just have to keep close eye on time. Is the ramble thing really fast if you skip encounters?--Degenret01 02:19, November 7, 2009 (UTC)
