User talk:Psycho Robot

Begone!

Show me your moves
I whipped this up quickly for a merged totals thing: What row it turns in to depends on multi - it it exists, its a multi-totals style one, and uses what multi is as the title; if it doesn't exist it becomes a normal row. (I would've just added it to the template but it would break all current ones so I reconsidered.)

As for the image, I think an extra param is in order for the header, so its number of rows+number of totals+number of multitotal labels+2 for the two header rows. Call the param whatever, as long as it works Shame that we can't foreword reference a variable (like get a repeating one to add up the number of rows, then reference that in the header), that would be perfect, but oh well. 21:05, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

you, sir, fight in a very lowly manner - editconflicting me like that and stealing what i was going to say@@@ 22:57, August 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, you must have been looking into your own mind, since I was holding up a mirror all this time. We must have just had the same and may I say pretty awesome idea. But you, sir, are the one with the messed up mind. Thanks, 23:32, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Checkuser request
Based on the Checkuser, it would seem that the user behind it is User:Joeytje50, who on top of the Myface accounts, uses User:Judytje, User:Judytje1 (possibly his siblings), and User:Joeytje. Hope this helps. 03:19, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Re: I Say
I'm pleased someone picked up on that =D Yes, I intended upon choosing the name for people to assume I look it from the music track La Morte off of the Death Altar, which means the Death in Italian, but in reality it is Ia Morte, which translates to "I Am Death" in Italian... My evil plot was working so wonderfully too :) It's been a good day for my usernames. Someone finally shortened my current username, FangrideQC corrently to Fang, rather then Fan, and you pick up on the Ia Morte =D Good day indeed!! 04:31, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Adding links to categories
How would I go about adding a link to a category. Whenever I try, it appears blank. Here's what I want to do: I want to edit the text for me userbox, Userbox/Adds Transparency. I want the "images in need" text to link to "Category:Images needing transparency". Thanks! 16:59, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Racist
It was a sample edit. Stelercus's quiz's question 1 asks about something offensive to Mexicans. 01:38, August 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Now, of course, since I wrote the quiz, I worked several of my opinions into it. The date violation that you mentioned is an example of my firm belief that no one can and no one will stop me from writing my dates in the format that I choose. Question 5 stemmed from my dislike of the G.E. (I preferred Runescape before the GE by a long shot), and of course, to make it question-appropriate I inserted a lot of bad words. Question 7 gets its source from the fact that I am a Saradominist and do not like Zamorakians. 02:20, August 13, 2010 (UTC)

We were talking about signatures in cc and...
...I was just after something like "melon" with the "m" in a fairly neutral middle green and the "elon" in a watermelon red/pink colour. And in bold. Fairly self-explanitory. The real help I'd need would be getting this to actually be what appears when I sign. Don't know how to change it. I am not vot, I am Melon! 06:21, August 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you. And now to see it in action for the first time. Also in this post and the one ^^ up there, I started sentences with "And" because I am so bad. =) Here goes: 06:42, August 13, 2010 (UTC)

re:bla bla bla
What I didn't have time to mention is that RS:UCS still applies in any case. Even in that case, though, if there was another banhammer-wielding slave of the clan chat around, then it would be more appropriate for them to deal with that ajrabbitz nub or whoever he is. Now, I know what you mean, and I also realize that trolls shouldn't be given too much pomp and circus around they kick/ban/blocking; they're trolls. However, everyone does have the right to a fair trial in my opinion. To use the example that you gave me, you might have gotten upset by, say, the third line. That would effect your judgment when it came to dealing out justice, and if it were on the wiki, I might have gotten a longer block than I deserved for that. At any rate, it's not a huge deal, but it is something that should, in my opinion, be observed when common sense permits it. 03:36, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * P.S. - That Ajrabbitz person is pretty smart. The iron dagger is better than the abby whip. Just sayin. 03:36, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

deleted logos
You edited my personal user page! What's wrong with you??? Those pics i made were part of something else and you deleted them? Those were a relevant history that should not be deleted.

Project Myface
Why don't you come join Project Myface? you will have a nice collection of images, and apparently you are also half helping the project, as you uploaded 2 images of a raven, and that is an area needing work for the project. Also you said you watch the project, so why don't you join it? There are no rules, exept being able to use the OoO and to save as *.png, so you could hop in at any moment. If you want, ill even add all images you've made with the orb of oculus so far to the page. Correct me if i said something that's wrong plz. 01:57, August 15, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Quick GEMW question
To be honest, I'm not sure what the purpose of that parameter is. There is no use of it in the ExchangeItem template which drives the Exchange database pages, and when I looked through the template's history it was [ introduced] into the documentation but not into the code itself. -- 04:23, August 16, 2010 (UTC)

About "Player Don't Deserve Articles"
Hello, It's my first time to contact an Administrator.

Let's cut into topic.

Recently an article(Ali Tist) has been edited over 3 times, the edited content is about a player's video(Tehnoobshow) involved RuneScape

However, According to Player Dont's Deserve Article section, How can we judge him if he is HIGHLY NOTABLE.

Let's think it objective, I think "HIGHLY NOTABLE" means that a player involved an event(like Huge glitch) and caused an impact in the past/at the moment.

But is video maker really worth to add to article?

In fact, i don't even know who he is(Tehnoobshow), even i watched lots of video about RuneScape in YouTube.

Moreover, he isn't involved in Machinima contest or something like that.

"Ali Tist" This article has been edited few times for this, and i hope that i can know if that guy is really deserve a mention in that article.

Thank you

(I am not an English, so sorry for my bad English)

abuse of power
After scanning Dtm's talk page, it appears that he has been accused of abuse of power at least three times besides when he kicked me. Liquid helium refused to close that thread, saying he didn't think there was enough evidence despite the fact that consensus indicated there was. Now people have mostly stopped posting. This issue of unfair kicks, not only from Dtm but other ranks is almost guaranteed to come up again unless we do something- so what do you suggest? 17:48, August 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * I stand corrected- Halo said on the thread that he though dtm was going to kick him, but didn't. However, theres still the case you mentioned, me, and I believe 1 other on dtm's talk I'll see about it in a sec. In addition to this, I was kicked (this was like 5 months ago) by Clv309 for simply stating my opinion, with the reason that I was "trolling". That time I wasn't doing anything of the sort, at least Dtm can argue that I was being a bit rude. Also, I have also seen similar things happen to other users. Because I have no pics and it happened ages ago so I'm not going to complain, but it does seem like something that happens very commonly especially since I'm in the cc a hour or two a day at most. 21:20, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Third example was regarding a block, of User:God_Of_War. This might b pushing it a bit but Dtm certainly seems more eager to kick then users such as Gaz, Steler, etc. I was thinking of propsing that ranks be required to keep some sort of kick log as well as explain any kick that is not obvious spamming or offensive language etc. What you think of that? 21:30, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Alright, I'll consider it. That thread in the cc forums has gotten rough concensus at least, you think I should just abandon it? 23:55, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Having been around for that, I'll assure you that block as well as the other related blocks from that incident were justified. As a general note, the longer one tends to be an active administrator here, the more "power abuse" claims (please note I'm not referring to your claims in anyway, as I'm not touching that issue with a ten foot pole) that tend to be leveled, I myself have had numerous claims against me as well and 99% of claims in general tend to be false or blown out of proportion, just 2¢. I have no additional comments.-- 04:55, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

RE:120 Dungeoneering
Because he hasn't logged out yet. ._. And the spam in his Clan Chat and the RSOF is too overwhelming for me to think he hasn't levelled yet. 22:46, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * A bunch of videos of him getting level 120 can be found here. (Notice they're all uploaded 5-30 minutes ago) I'll go to bed now, so have fun fighting the crowd. 22:54, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Enhancing colors
Apparently i have some other graphics than most users, as i had a discussion like this before. I Do NOT enhance ANY colors of my images, i don't play on a private server which could make me have other graphics(ask Parsonsda, who sees me online sometimes) and i just have all graphics options maximum(only remove roofs on for some pics, but that can't change colors or anything. I use the 4th option(you have things like Safe mode, OpenGL, DirectX) and i saw LDP(the one of the prev discussion) had the 3rd option. Maybe that's what the problem is.

PS:If you look at File:Black raven.png you will see the same kind of feathers on the raven, and that image is not made by me. 11:51, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Redirect
Why can't I redirect User:Liquidhelm to my userpage? I created that account. 14:49, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * That dealt with redirects from the mainspace to the userspace. Redirects within the userspace are fine. 17:46, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, I don't have to listen to anything you say. That means that I should change back Liquidhelm and Liquid helm's user and talk pages. You're an imposter. Your signature does not match the seal of authenticity. 18:18, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Lobby Glitch
Well I guess I could re-upload a newer, safer, version, but it would be nice to have a tutorial on how to delete images, do you know of any?

Raven images
Hey, awesome quality images! I'm baffled as to how you were able to get them in such high quality though. Care to share? I'd gladly help out if I was able to get them that large.— Triforce   14 
 * Awesomeness! Thanks so much. :) — Triforce   14 

SVG Rune Images
I would like to undelete them all, if at all possible. I understand that somebody uploaded png versions of the same size, but the svg images are more attractive in general and much more versatile. I already undeleted the water image, but I thought I should ask you if you had any reasons for the previous deletion other than the png replacement. 11:41, August 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * I am familiar with SVGs, however, I would not call it fan-art if it's constructive to the wiki. I may open a discussion on the topic later. 20:52, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

Those images
These are all personal or duplicates or unused in the mainspace or something.

Pet inv sprites
Dear Psycho Robot, None of the pets are mine: I ask others whether I can take images of their pets. This is why some of the angles on the pets/summoning familiars aren't as good as they could be; I cannot let them stand there for too long or they get impatient Sorry, 10:26, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

Degens signature?
? - 19:12, August 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okaaay, just as long as you have his permission. 19:20, August 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Then do you think you should be changing his signature if you do not have his permission? Humorous antagonism can sometimes be okay, but the content you're placing in his signature is very critical of Degens views. 19:26, August 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * I just looked at Degens signature history more closely, but still, I think you should have asked him before adding that. 19:42, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

Baby/adult gecko
I'm fairly sure I got mixed up between the baby/adult geckos. I must have mislabelled the gecko image and when I went to add transparency later, I did not know that it was a baby. It really does look like a baby to me, see the heads. 07:59, August 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Gah if you're that certain, could you undo my mistakes, sorry  08:04, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Also, could you check whether this is an adult or baby? Thanks, 08:06, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

I have another question for you.
Is there like anyway I could like request a temporary bot flag? I'm currently building up lists for AWB add a lot of categorization to the Dungeoneering items, and I didn't really want to spam everything up when I go about doing it. :x 03:16, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

Dispute resolution
As you mentioned in your artfully crafted dispute resolution essay, a good time to end a dispute is when a sysop reads something, scrolls down a few paragraphs, and reads the same thing again, just squished further to the right. That's exactly what's happening on Forum:IRL laws, cache, and consensus. I'd like you to close it, as it's just another monster argument that repeats what was said in about five other threads and is getting nowhere. 18:12, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Never mind. Aburnett got it. Thus, I'll have to yell at you for something else. 19:17, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

Don't edit userpages
Please do not edit other users' userpages on the RuneScape Wiki, as per this policy. If it was your userpage, please log in before editing. However, a few exceptions can be made. You may edit another user's userpage:


 * ... if you notice anything obscene on a user page (vulgar language, crude photos, messages that may be harmful to someone else or anything that breaks one of Jagex's rules). If you are unsure if it breaks this rule, contact a seven eyed monster to check it out. It's his job.
 * ... to clear red ink from the wanted pages list. After all, we don't want the page to be in debt, do we?
 * ... if editors are given permission by Chuck Norris.
 * ... to revert vandalism.

Any other edits will be considered vandalism, and may get you blocked from editing the RuneScape Wiki if you continue to do so. Thank you. 19:17, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

User related redirects
This issue again... Anyways, Ajr wants to redirect his userpage to Rwojy's userpage. I told him no, because it wasn't a switching account issue, and because Rwojy is easily type-able on a standard keyboard. He says that he willingly wants to do it, since it's his userpage. I cited the fact that I own things like User:Liquidhelm, and willingly want to redirect them to my userpage, but I can't. The closing statement of Forum:User related redirects sets out clear rules. However, since I was more or less being your mindless bot when I closed that, I figured I'd better check with you about this situation. 21:52, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * So... what do you want me to do? Go back and edit the closing statement? As it is, having that is in violation of policy. 22:02, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Alright then. I'll take your word for it. I really should stop listening to everything you tell me. >.< 22:07, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

Did you get my ingame message? If you don't want to be part of the problem or give me advice I'm fine but can u at least tell me if your not gunna so I can do something myself without having to wait for a possible response from you. Thanks. 14:20, September 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok. I don't plan on making any more threads or trying to revive the issue, as its too far in the past now for anything to be done, unfortunantly. I still think, though, that its a really bad sign that Dtm is ignoring a request from one of our more respected admins. Maby he could think of me as a troll, maby he doesn't know me, but ignoring a message from someone who clearly isn't trolling doesn't seem good. Btw, are you really muted? 20:46, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Faint Emote
Lmao did you read the whole thing? I made the video myself, uploaded it to Youtube and taken part of the video that "I" recorded to make the GIF animation on here. Learn to read the whole thing thoroughly before you assume things, thanks.

Re:
You're a great sysop, so don't take this the wrong way, but I'm tired of being treated differently than sysops when I am probably just as good or a better judge on YG discussions. Had I been able to keep my mouth shut I could have passed an RfA pretty easily. But I can't keep my mouth shut. I live to discuss, argue, call people on bull crap. I don't really want to be an sysop anymore, just because I'm not extremely active (although I'm working on that) and I find less and less reasons everyday to respect (some of) them. I don't see closing a thread to avoid pointless arguing is harming anyone (and thus common sense). Pretty much, I'm going to keep doing what I think makes the most sense, and you can't blame me for that. Again, don't take any of this personally, because you are one of the few sysops I really appreciate and have a lot of respect for. 01:46, September 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * "Common sense takes precedence over any policy. Be reasonable." - RS:UCS. I think I'm being reasonable.   02:02, September 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * One man's opinion. I don't see why you are making this into such a big deal.  There's no point in making a YG.  It'd be more sensible to try another RfA, which I'm not going to do, at least not yet.  A YG wouldn't let me do anything I can't already do, and it would just cause a bunch of arguing and AEAE discussions, which for once I think we've had enough of.  Your word (while it may be very wise), isn't the law.  So thanks for the advice,  14:43, September 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Many people have also supported me. Arguing at this point is futile in my opinion.  We will both just have to do what we think is the right thing and proceed, and we both must face the consequences of that.   20:47, September 5, 2010 (UTC)

Comments takeover articles
If you were to look at Special:Newwikis and take a stroll to their articles, you would see that: http://i919.photobucket.com/albums/ad40/Bluesonic43/Misc/Commenttakeover.png

At least on these new wikis, talk pages on articles don't exist and commenting is how they are done. Now I don't know if this is part of the blog feature or not but this is the first I have seen of it. I did some minor redacting just in-case. 04:56, September 6, 2010 (UTC)

RfD's
I see that your attempts to delete Underwater city and Lucien's daughter weren't successful. I think the time is ripe for another attempt, though this time I want to make sure I write a convincing argument. I think it's futile to pursue Underwater city, as the "keepers/pack rats" do have a legitimate argument for keeping that useless article. So, I'd like to focus efforts on Lucien's daughter. I'm thinking about writing the following:

Lucien's daughter has received absolutely no indication that she will be created. She is mentioned only in passing, which is even less than what the crystal halberd received in-game. We have no evidence that she even exists. The last RfD failed because users didn't think that a "daughter" insult was strong enough to be said in jest. However, that's not a legitimate argument, because Jagex's humor is quite different from ours, and we are making too many assumptions about their thought process. Another argument put forth was about RS:G granting approval for any characters mentioned. However, RS:G as it currently stands makes no mention of the issue. It merely grants permission for NPC's that are shown on the screen to be created, and says nothing about NPC's that are just mentioned. The game has seen many updates since, and it's unlikely that the daughter will be released, if she exists at all. Therefore, I support deleting this article.

How does it look to you? 17:30, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * "My daughter is better than your daughter"? -- 17:34, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'm done. I'll read some policies later and see if I can do anything about underwater city. 17:47, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * I nominated you for uotm because I felt like it. It's a bit late in the month, though, but if this doesn't work out, I'll nominate you again on my birthday. 21:17, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh yeah, since I liked your essay for Azaz's DAP so much, I'll give you first dibs at picking a topic for my DBP, if you want one. 00:00, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm just wondering: why is it not possible to think up of stuff that applies to crats but not sysops? The topics are very different, with the exception of perception/AEAE. I think you could come up with a very nice essay on neutrality, for example, which is something not expected of sysops. Anyways, this is just a slight poke. If you don't want to do it, it's fine. 22:53, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, officially, you're right. But, the de facto situation is that bureaucrats have much more leverage than sysops, and as such have much higher expectations. A bureaucrat generally should not say on a controversial thread "strong support" or "strong oppose", for instance. Sysops are free to do that. The defining crats project was more intended as a perception project than setting down rules. 23:09, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * A crat can, it's just inadvisable. Anyways, about the Konami code. Here are some comments that I've posted elsewhere that describe why opposing because it's pointless is a valid argument. 23:19, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

What do you think are my chances of successfully redirecting Gravy Boat of Saradomin? It seems that recent developments have shown that the wiki is receptive towards removing items merely mentioned in the game with no other backup. 00:22, September 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think the first RfD failed because it was too close to the event, so people were a bit sentimental about it. 00:22, September 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Add Iestin to the list. RfD 00:32, September 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Iestin Edern will be nominated alongisde Iestin if I ever get around to writing it. 00:36, September 8, 2010 (UTC)

About crats: See how the trickle of keeps completely stopped after two crats (Azaz and Dtm) came out in favor of deletion? RuneScape:Requests for deletion/Runepoli Anyways, that was an interesting aside. Time to get back to hunting for failed RfD's. 00:44, September 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm very mad at the sysop who closed this for not being more open minded. Then again, I suppose he was a bit new at the time of closure and didn't want to rock the boat. (The previous sentence is speculation, as I don't remember.) Anyways, I'm a firm believer that the page is kind of a wiki eBay where items that users are trying to sell get waitlisted indefinitely because no one checks that page, and even if someone does, the chance that the item is just what the user is looking for is quite slim. I've looked at the Keep reasons, and most of them involve "people will use it again"/"I just used it!". I think that I can try again, except write more reasons in the nomination paragraph. Furthermore, I think that I might be able to use RuneScape:Requests for deletion/RuneScape:Editor Review as a precedent, since both were underused pages. 00:52, September 8, 2010 (UTC)

Unless you tell me otherwise, I'm going to nominate the pages mentioned above for deletion today. I think I'll roll it up into one big RfD, since they're really the same thing in principle. 22:03, September 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, I think I'll wait for Lucien's daughter to be closed, so I can cite it as precedent. 23:50, September 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Shit. >.< Cook started a YG thread on this. That means I speed up the nomination process to get as many deletions in before the YG closes. If it's not in our favor, then at least I got some done. If it is, then great. 11:44, September 9, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Cat Article
Hey Psycho. I took a look at the cat (race) article like you asked me too. I made a few minor changes, but for the most part it looks like it's shaping up pretty well. I couldn't find a reference for the statement about sheep in the first paragraph, and although it sounds kind of familiar, I can't say for sure whether or not it's true. Other than that, though, the page is looking pretty good. 20:52, September 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Closest thing I could find to a source on that was God Letters 13, where Guthix says "The sheep are under mine protection. Attack them at thy peril." I recently did Meeting History as well, and saw no mention of sheep.   23:44, September 13, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Signature
"Signatures must link to the user's userpage. The name does not need to be the user's exact account name, but it must be a name by which the user is widely known. Without this provision, signatures do not provide the useful ability to search on a page for a comment from a certain user." I think jraddatz is a reasonable abbreviation, but the problem comes with the second part. Everyone who searches for Ajr is going to search for either Ajr or Ajraddatz. With the A in the picture, the search will come up empty. Thus, it violates RS:SIG. If it doesn't, then it's violating GTS. 03:48, September 12, 2010 (UTC)

RE: GEMW Herb Index
I have created the Grand Exchange Market Watch/Herb Index.

I used both grimy and clean herbs. More items in an index would better represent the fluctuations of the prices.

The numbers which is used in the division is the base price at which the index is started. In this case, I used the prices from 10 June 2009 since Wergali was introduced then. So, I can just use the prices of all the herbs on that date.

I think I have updated all the links which points to the indices, including the Monaco widget MediaWiki:Widgetwikipage. If I missed anything, please let me know.

The history chart could take awhile, as I need to update AzBot. 03:09, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

Western Lands - western lands
Could you PLEASE delete the western lands page? the RS:D page already reached a consensus, with no good reasons to keep the article, and lots of reasons(based on policies) to delete it. I am actually kinda sick of the discussion that lasts for bout 1.25 month now. As you are an admin you can delete the thing, and i also think you know much more about the discussion(bcus you participated) than admins that do it most times like c. chiam or anyone. I also don't think chiam or someone wants to read 3 A4 size of discussion to decide if it is a delete consensus or a keep con. As you already did that(or atleast partially) you are the best to say it shoule be deleted. Thanks very much already. 22:49, September 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, i agree you are not neutral, but me being patient? i am patient for more than a month and still it's the same thing. The article still violates a lot of policies. I should have nominated it for speedy deletion, but i didn't know this much about some policies and how to treat them, but still i learned something from this, and now i learned enough. I was patient for more than a month, and there are lots of supports, 1 or 2 neutral and 2 or 3 oppose. This is only counting votes. Also the reasons the supporters gave are much better than the reasons of the opposers. This is the case for around 3 weeks now, and still the discussion goes on. Some people don't have te patience to keep answering things for 3 weeks, let alone 5.5 or someting. I know i can retreat from the discussion, but i still feel a bit responsible for anything said there, i should answer it, because i started the rfd. 23:33, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

Because of this, only my images should be kept on File:Eek detail.png, and the other versions should be used on spider.png. Also because spiders have a nice image too then, and this way it has a bad image. 07:53, September 17, 2010 (UTC)

Americana
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Article I

Section 1. All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.

Section 2. The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States, and the Electors in each State shall have the Qualifications requisite for Electors of the most numerous Branch of the State Legislature.

No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.

Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons. The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct. The Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand, but each State shall have at Least one Representative; and until such enumeration shall be made, the State of New Hampshire shall be entitled to chuse three, Massachusetts eight, Rhode-Island and Providence Plantations one, Connecticut five, New-York six, New Jersey four, Pennsylvania eight, Delaware one, Maryland six, Virginia ten, North Carolina five, South Carolina five, and Georgia three.

When vacancies happen in the Representation from any State, the Executive Authority thereof shall issue Writs of Election to fill such Vacancies.

The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.

Section 3. The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, chosen by the Legislature thereof, for six Years; and each Senator shall have one Vote.

Immediately after they shall be assembled in Consequence of the first Election, they shall be divided as equally as may be into three Classes. The Seats of the Senators of the first Class shall be vacated at the Expiration of the second Year, of the second Class at the Expiration of the fourth Year, and the third Class at the Expiration of the sixth Year, so that one third may be chosen every second Year; and if Vacancies happen by Resignation, or otherwise, during the Recess of the Legislature of any State, the Executive thereof may make temporary Appointments until the next Meeting of the Legislature, which shall then fill such Vacancies.

No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen.

The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.

The Senate shall chuse their other Officers, and also a President pro tempore, in the Absence of the Vice President, or when he shall exercise the Office of President of the United States.

The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.

Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of Honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.

Section 4. The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.

The Congress shall assemble at least once in every Year, and such Meeting shall be on the first Monday in December, unless they shall by Law appoint a different Day.

Section 5. Each House shall be the Judge of the Elections, Returns and Qualifications of its own Members, and a Majority of each shall constitute a Quorum to do Business; but a smaller Number may adjourn from day to day, and may be authorized to compel the Attendance of absent Members, in such Manner, and under such Penalties as each House may provide.

Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member.

Each House shall keep a Journal of its Proceedings, and from time to time publish the same, excepting such Parts as may in their Judgment require Secrecy; and the Yeas and Nays of the Members of either House on any question shall, at the Desire of one fifth of those Present, be entered on the Journal.

Neither House, during the Session of Congress, shall, without the Consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days, nor to any other Place than that in which the two Houses shall be sitting.

Section 6. The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States. They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.

No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States, which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been encreased during such time: and no Person holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during his Continuance in Office.

Section 7. All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two Persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves. And they shall make a List of all the Persons voted for, and of the Number of Votes for each; which List they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the Seat of the Government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the Presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the Certificates, and the Votes shall then be counted. The Person having the greatest Number of Votes shall be the President, if such Number be a Majority of the whole Number of Electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such Majority, and have an equal Number of Votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately chuse by Ballot one of them for President; and if no Person have a Majority, then from the five highest on the List the said House shall in like Manner chuse the President. But in chusing the President, the Votes shall be taken by States, the Representation from each State having one Vote; A quorum for this Purpose shall consist of a Member or Members from two thirds of the States, and a Majority of all the States shall be necessary to a Choice. In every Case, after the Choice of the President, the Person having the greatest Number of Votes of the Electors shall be the Vice President. But if there should remain two or more who have equal Votes, the Senate shall chuse from them by Ballot the Vice President.

The Congress may determine the Time of chusing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States.

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

In Case of the Removal of the President from Office, or of his Death, Resignation, or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office, the Same shall devolve on the Vice President, and the Congress may by Law provide for the Case of Removal, Death, Resignation or Inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what Officer shall then act as President, and such Officer shall act accordingly, until the Disability be removed, or a President shall be elected.

The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation, which shall neither be encreased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them.

Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:--"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Section 2. The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.

He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.

Section 3. He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper; he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States.

Section 4. The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

Article III

Section 1. The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.

Section 2. The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority;--to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls;--to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction;--to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party;--to Controversies between two or more States;--between a State and Citizens of another State;--between Citizens of different States;--between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects.

In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.

The Trial of all Crimes, except in Cases of Impeachment, shall be by Jury; and such Trial shall be held in the State where the said Crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any State, the Trial shall be at such Place or Places as the Congress may by Law have directed.

Section 3. Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.

Article IV

Section 1. Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State. And the Congress may by general Laws prescribe the Manner in which such Acts, Records, and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereof.

Section 2. The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States.

A Person charged in any State with Treason, Felony, or other Crime, who shall flee from Justice, and be found in another State, shall on Demand of the executive Authority of the State from which he fled, be delivered up, to be removed to the State having Jurisdiction of the Crime.

No Person held to Service or Labour in one State, under the Laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in Consequence of any Law or Regulation therein, be discharged from such Service or Labour, but shall be delivered up on Claim of the Party to whom such Service or Labour may be due.

Section 3. New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new States shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or Parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.

The Congress shall have Power to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States; and nothing in this Constitution shall be so construed as to Prejudice any Claims of the United States, or of any particular State.

Section 4. The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

Article V

The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwith-standing.

I actually like my method better. Help:Vandalism states that "Vandalism is the conspicuous defacement or destruction of a structure, a symbol or information against the will of the owner/governing body." I consider maintenance edits to be conspicuous defacement, and I have made my will clear. 68200 out of 68229 bytes are devoted to warnings, so there's no excuse for not seeing it. Once someone edits (and vandalizes) my page, RS:PROTECT kicks in and allows me to fully protect my userpage. If this happens enough times, then I get to call it persistent and give it a very long expiry time. 19:08, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * The beauty of this is that GTS cannot be called, since users have the right to revert any and all edits on their userpage for any or no reason regardless of protection level. So, I can't be called out for not allowing a maintenance edit and treating it as vandalism.  19:33, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

 * By the way, you need to archive your page. With the Constitution thrown in there, it's way too long. 23:49, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Edgeville Incident
Hey Psycho. In regards to the Edgeville Incident, I believe the term is actually used in-game, in one of the com-orb dossiers (probably from the Wanted! quest). I don't have access to the dossiers themselves because I'm no longer a member, so I can't verify that with 100% certainty. I am pretty much positive it is used somewhere in-game, though. 21:02, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

U do it the hard way...
...But there is an easy way. Logging out/going to the lobby then rejoining the game resets the head back to the 'happy' one You could also call it and you're done. That way you don't have to re-type your bank pin either... 21:05, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
