[edit] STARS

Sorry for killing you just doing my job p.s you should get a flak jacket I was down to my last ap with that kill shot if you'd had a jacket I've had been trapped in there with you.--Meinstorm 10:57, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

My job is to protect the Demons, and to revive those that require it. I do not see how it is your 'job' to destroy people such as this.

According to your wiki you are the leader of the Grayside Demons who declared war on the group I am a part of therefore it is my job to kill (not destroy, that would imply you never being able to get on Urban Dead again) you for starting a fight with my group.--Meinstorm 18:42, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

I think destroyed is the word, since I haven't been able to stay alive for more than 6 hours since STARS went trigger happy (before war was declared at all!). --Kiablade 20:03, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

As far as my logs and personal experence is concerned, she as the Leader of Greyside Demons, never declared war against anyone, iamnotamelon how every seems to have tryed several times to declare war and my logs reflect that as do his edits on the Gangs mainpage, other than a radio transmition which did not origionate from the headquarters (which still had a working transmitter at the time) I have seen no other declarations of war except from STARS and find this whole thing a mind-bogglingly huge ..mistake. Oh and I think we should move towards one of the military bases as they would probably apprecaite our help. --Jinjinkas 22:37, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

I haven't been human for more than 6 hours since the whole thing kicked off (ie, I'm not up to defending anything much more than the one person I'm stopping the zombies from getting atm (Survive failed, revive isn't working out while I'm a zombie, but I'm a goddamn Demon, so Protect is kicking in!). As for declaring war, I did have a brief conversation with Iamnotamelon, in which I pointed out that if he caught someone spray painting, to take offensive action and show zero tolerance. Since then, its got somewhat out of hand, and from what I have seen from this side, it appears that STARS did start the damage, after all, I was in negotiations with two people who said they were trying to work things out between the two factions, when I was brutally murdered, along with all of the Demons in our HQ with me. Since then, I've been killed six times as a zombie (sitting at the revive point, and moving around trying to round up my group); and a number of times by STARS members while alive. The murders by STARS are the reason that the Grayside Demons are packing up their revive point, biting their thumb at East Grayside, and going somewhere more dangerous to actually do some good, rather than playing at safehouses. Soon as we're all alive and together, in other words...quit killing Demons, and we'll get out of your frigging hair. Sheesh! Soon as I get revived, I'll send out messages, try to find everyone, and let people know which suburb we're heading for, and where to meet. I'm not posting that message anywhere, to avoid it getting stolen by STARS, and used as a method to stomp their bratty feet over another district too. --Kiablade 22:58, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Kiablade if it was not you who started the war but one of your embers I offer you a revive and will let you kill me if you wish text me ingame or say so on my talk page if you want that.--Meinstorm 12:58, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Seems I missed you well tell me if you need revive also as I'm on the BoL of S.T.A.R.S I can also sue for peace or a we won't hit you if you don't hit us kinda thing if you want. Also there's no point heading north to more 'dangerous' terriotory (yeah I can't spell) the Revenant are heading to EG.See? --Meinstorm 22:10, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

With two pleas of "Please don't go", the Demons and I are starting to feel somewhat rather wanted! I am currently fixing my own revival before heading back. As it currently stands however, the Demons no longer have an HQ in Grayside, and it seems somewhat of a waste of time without a decent one from which to operate from. I personally wish to check out West Grayside for suitable locations. The only reason that the Demons started in East Grayside was the fact that there was a hospital right next to a railway station. After all, when they come to get us out of here, the railways are likely to be used, aren't they? There are too many survivers to get us all out in helicopters! --Kiablade 22:22, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

I'd rather have a helicopter it has more style than a train.--Meinstorm 19:22, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

I'll take whatever transport out of here I can get. --Kiablade 23:33, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Err... Sorry about Joe Biz I think I'll buy him a dictionary and make him look up diplomacy and tact.--Meinstorm 17:25, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] contact?

I was revived by one of your members (after 2 days of waiting) who told me to join for faster revives and not to disappoint them. So am I in the right place or is recruiting closed? Blackzilla2 00:01, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Revives have been closed because of the action by STARS. Ie, we can't revive if we're all zombies ourselves (I am sure you can see the logic). Obviously we wish to revive our own members first, if only because they will then be able to revive others quicker, however it is no requirement to revives. I am sorry that it took two days to get you revived though, that is souly due to the recent problems. However, recruiting! You are welcome to join. Just to let you know, we are currently being hunted down (yes, I know, great advert for the Demons there!). But feel free to add me to your mobile (that is a requirement, to have one, so we can get in contact), then I will add you when someone revives me again. I'm trying to coordinate our departure from East Grayside (or was until Meinstorm pked me). --Kiablade 00:13, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Ok. I do have a wiki page but for some reason it won,t work when I leave a sig. Blackzilla2 01:56, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

I see you were once at war with STARS, and the leader of the Malton Death Dealers, and are currently a member of Creedy Guerilla Raiders. As an enemy of STARS, we can accept you as a Demon, but I have had no contact with the CGR, so am unsure as to whether they have any hold over your involvement with them. Please make sure you are free to become a Grayside Demon, and that you have no contracts outstanding with any other group. Other than that, glad to meet you. --Kiablade 02:01, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Well as rules say, "Alts. lead completely diffrent lives" so the S.T.A.R.S war was with Blackzilla1 the CGR moved before shacknews hit Giddings and their forums are down, so I guess I,m freelance now. Blackzilla2 03:39, 2 January 2007 (UTC)]

Thats fine then, no problems there. Just wanted to make sure, okay? --Kiablade 03:51, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

ok, sir! Blackzilla2 04:12, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] War comments

I told you declaring was on STARS was a dumb move. I am not trying to be an asshole or anything, but it seems it has yet to do your group any good. Think we can call a ceasefire? After all, fighting each other is a waste of time. --Mayor Fitting 00:06, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Just got revived by some nice body, only problem is, I'm still stuck outside, and I have no idea which way to head to get back into a building. So, in a while, I could either do with another revive , or if I'm lucky, directions! --Kiablade 19:20, 2 January 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Aid

I've currently got no AP, due to attacks. And it may take a while to round up all of the other Demons. However, since East Grayside is so obviously well staffed </sarcasm> I think it would do more good for the Demons to head north into more dangerous territory. You're welcome to tag along for the ride however. Just got to get everyone in the same place a the same time without half of them being zombies! --Kiablade 19:30, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Forum link

My logs are never forgotten, http://z6.invisionfree.com/Learning_of_things/index.php?act=idx , I hope you have your key

goodbye. -- 4256 --

---

My problems not a 'won't', more of a problem of my own period of wakefulness. I'm not sure when the rest of the Demons are most active, so I cannot speak for them. Simple logistics such as that will likely prevent me from aiding rapidly in such things, although coordination of efforts (ie standing at the back with a megaphone), I am perfectly capable of doing.

As for the logs, that is more than fair, after all, apologies, and aid came after the fact, so forgiving and forgetting this is allowed.

I am sure we will bump into one another at some point in the future, but until then, I hope you do not mind if we use the Auto Repair in Wray Heights to get the Demons back off the ground?

An ally is never a bad thing to have, whether in peace or the heat of war. --Kiablade 03:40, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] hey there

hi. just interesting, how are grayside deamons doing these days.--Duke Garland 16:37, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Pretty good thank you. None of us have died in a while, and we're working on gathering members together. Why do you ask? --Kiablade 17:26, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

if you're not far from the zone, there'll gonna be a big fight soon (1-2 days)--Duke Garland 19:30, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

What zone? --Kiablade 19:36, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

:( don't you remember? SSZ --Duke Garland 21:53, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Ah, thats because the Demons are currently far outside, it slipped my mind. We relocated to West Grayside. Whats this big fight about? --Kiablade 21:57, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

these guys are coming... if you're far away - nevermind.--Duke Garland 22:08, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

We've got a mall relatively near-by. I'll see if thats on the list, if it is, I'm sure the Demons can lay some smack-down! --Kiablade 22:18, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks, mommy Kia! ^_^

Thank you for looking out for me! You want some help with our mainpage? Or maybe your characterpage? --~'~,Emily Briar`~,, 09:52, 12 June 2007 (BST)

If you can fix the big gaps at the top of the pages, I'd be happy :D Aside from that, we need to change the colour scheme. Ideas welcome. And feel free to mess with my character page, do as you wilt :D --Kiablade 10:04, 12 June 2007 (BST)

  • Maybe we should exchange SNs to talk design? over in the forums though... apparently updating repeatedly is noticable! ~'~,Emily Briar`~,, 10:12, 12 June 2007 (BST)
Pfft! We can have a conversation here if we darn well like! But possibly best if we exchange SN's - AIM do for you? --Kiablade 10:16, 12 June 2007 (BST)
AIM works fine, I've got trillian Pro, so I can use pretty much anything! sorry for the delay in response though, I can't see updates on /your/ talkpage... unless I watch you. *watches you* -~'~,Emily Briar`~,, 19:43, 12 June 2007 (BST)
  • grins* I watch everything, just in case :D I've got Trillian, its just easist to use AIM. Will send you my username via the forums! --Kiablade 19:50, 12 June 2007 (BST)
we are all watching :) --People's Commissar Hagnat [cloned] [mod] 20:04, 12 June 2007 (BST)
I think I'm worried now! --Kiablade 20:29, 12 June 2007 (BST)
MWA HA HA HA --People's Commissar Hagnat [cloned] [mod] 20:35, 12 June 2007 (BST)
Yeah, thus the suggestion /not/ to put the AIM SN on a wiki =P apparently stuff on here never goes away! =P ~'~,Emily Briar`~,, 20:39, 12 June 2007 (BST)
Ergo why I sent it via PM on our forums :D Avoids all the dirty perves eyeing up this page *smiles sweetly* --Kiablade 20:56, 12 June 2007 (BST)

[edit] The Ghetto Cow Conversation

Who are you? Huh? Huh?! And are you addicted to recent changes too?--Lachryma 09:33, 12 June 2007 (BST)

No, not addicted at all. And I'm sure you can see, my name is Kiablade. Why does it matter? --Kiablade 10:03, 12 June 2007 (BST)

I was just wondering who you were and why you showed up randomly. But you two are in the same group and feth, so that's cool. But such hostility from you! What a refreshing change of pace!--Lachryma 19:16, 12 June 2007 (BST)
Yes, I'm the leader of the group that Emily belongs to. Makes me all maternal and protective of her, I'm afraid, so not so random after all! --Kiablade 19:49, 12 June 2007 (BST)
I'm usually busy yelling at my members, but if someone fethed with them, I'd probably get even more vicious and thus protective. So I understand completely...though I'm called/act like the Czarina, not some momma hen. ;)--Lachryma 19:55, 12 June 2007 (BST)
I started out as a mean person, and then a few low level members of the group started calling me mommy...and it all went downhill from there! I'm more likely to defend, rather than tell them off! I'm protective over the Demons --Kiablade 20:03, 12 June 2007 (BST)
I wouldn't be mean, but the members of my group seem to like it. Sickos. And I don't insult them or anything. It's more of a "Fetch me some clothes from the mall! And don't waste AP killing PKers!" sort of thing. And what group do you lead (as I'm too lazy to look at your user page)?--Lachryma 20:07, 12 June 2007 (BST)
*laughs* Perhaps I should implement such things. As it is, I laze about and occasionally do something, while they run around like psychotic hamsters doing my evil bidding :D And the group is the Grayside Demons --Kiablade 20:28, 12 June 2007 (BST)
Sounds like a lovely leadership style. And vaguely familiar...well, I'll be sure to look at y'alls page, mom.--Lachryma 20:47, 12 June 2007 (BST)
*scowls* Don't you start calling me mom too! As for leadership...as far as I know, the Demons aren't planning a coup behind my back, so I guess it is lovely, and it works. --Kiablade 20:56, 12 June 2007 (BST)
ZOMG, you have a quote from that guy from Talking Heads on your group's page! Awesome! Anyway, that's a pretty page you got there. Too bad the image link for the banner is dead, but I'm sure that's being fixed. Here, check out my group!--Lachryma 21:04, 12 June 2007 (BST)
*giggles* Lots of Demon-related quotes! As for the pages, I'm working on that. And the banner hasn't been made yet - I need to nudge a Demon into doing some work for me! I've heard of Ghetto Cow before, probably because it begins with a G...ergo, is close to the Demons in a list! --Kiablade 21:26, 12 June 2007 (BST)
Yeah, get 'em cracking on that banner! I'm always getting my members to make me templates and the such. Anyway, would said list be...the Recruitment page, perhaps? Which I think no longer has a GC ad...oh well...--Lachryma 09:01, 13 June 2007 (BST)
Eventually if no one else does it, I'll fiddle with a few bits an pieces. All I was after was a splash of grey and the name of the group! Thats my limits of talent anyway. Could have been the Recruitment page, or the list of groups, something like that. --Kiablade 09:19, 13 June 2007 (BST)
My talent extends to...well, the comics on my user page show off my artistic talents. Anyway, I'm glad you heard of our group, no matter what the circumstances. Bad publicity is still publicity!--Lachryma 18:07, 13 June 2007 (BST)
Fat stick people! Huzzah, the best kind of art! Nearly as good as Order Of The Stick *grins* And I didn't say it was bad publicity, just that I've seen that cow around somewhere! --Kiablade 18:17, 13 June 2007 (BST)
*Acts all huffy* Well, you don't have a comic. So there! Moving along, I was merely joking about the publicity thing. Or was I? Maybe I just wanted an excuse to say that phrase...hmm...--Lachryma 18:22, 13 June 2007 (BST)
*teases* I can't even draw ordinary stick people, so you've got one up on me there! And I think you were using an excuse there *grins* --Kiablade 18:26, 13 June 2007 (BST)
Let's see how many colons we can use in this conversation! Anyway, I have trouble believing you can't draw stick people. But hey, what do I know? Anyway, your group mostly does revive stuffs, right?--Lachryma 18:33, 13 June 2007 (BST)
I think we can get up to....loads! And stick people in comedic situations is hard. Cave stickmen I can do :) The Demons is mostly reviving, but we are a roleplay group, so we generally end up chatting and causing chaos. Also do a little pk-ing when the need calls for it. Its an entertaining life! --Kiablade 18:50, 13 June 2007 (BST)
When you say 'causing chaos' do you mean stirring up drama? For that's always entertaining...well, I usually try to settle some of less smarter disputes on this wiki, but drama is fun to watch, that's for sure...--Lachryma 21:01, 13 June 2007 (BST)
Yes, the Demons have plenty of drama, normally around the concept of curtains (best not explain that one!). We have our own forums though, to keep our giggles and fun away from causing troubles on the wiki. We're good like that :) --Kiablade 21:04, 13 June 2007 (BST)
So you guys yell at each other...sounds around the same insanity of Ghetto Cow. We once had a thread where someone was bragging about how they had the first post in our new forum, and I promptly showed up and claimed the last post. It went on and on, till I finally locked the thread. With my post as last. You should have heard the whining afterwards...--Lachryma 21:10, 13 June 2007 (BST)
More teasing than yelling. I'm not sure if I can lock threads for my lot. I got the 666th post on our private lot, so I kept the happy prestige (wasn't even me that noticed I'd got it!). Are cows really so whiney? --Kiablade 00:51, 14 June 2007 (BST)
They can be whiny. Occasionally. It was really horrible one time, when I left for a few days and gave them notice like a day before. It was soooo annoying. But they're a fun lot for the most part, and they are always funny...from 'feng shui barricading' to firemen strippers, they never disappoint me. ;)--Lachryma 16:29, 14 June 2007 (BST)
I give them a vague hour's warning, then scram off! They usually manage to organise and sort themselves out for a few weeks as long as I let at least one know I'm gone. Should I ask about the firemen strippers? Perhaps you should send a few over to visit! --Kiablade 16:36, 14 June 2007 (BST)
Well, I boss those guys around like mad, so without my comforting iron rule...anyway, I give you Skitch. Ask him for a belly dance, it's his specialty and it'll make his day (and yours, hopefully...)--Lachryma 16:46, 14 June 2007 (BST)
That offer is more than slightly worrying! :) --Kiablade 17:07, 14 June 2007 (BST)
Hey, you wanted a fireman stripper! And he's the best that a zombie apocalypse has to offer!--Lachryma 17:14, 14 June 2007 (BST)
It has really got -that- bad? Oh dear oh dear :D --Kiablade 17:58, 14 June 2007 (BST)
Um...wait a sec, you're insulting my fireman stripper?! (This is the part where I get all maternal, right? Or do I go yell at him to clean up his act?)--Lachryma 11:26, 15 June 2007 (BST)

*starts a new left-side of the page* I think you get him to smarten up, then we see if the improvement works...then get all maternal *grins* --Kiablade 22:20, 15 June 2007 (BST)

Actually, I think I like him all grungy. It adds to his bad boy look. ;). Anyway, I don't want some random person stealing him, so I'll keep Skitch just the way he is, thank you very much.--Lachryma 11:15, 16 June 2007 (BST)
*Nods nods* Same way I feel about my lot. They might be slightly grubby, sticky, grimy and in need of a bath (some of them), but they are Demons, and thats good enough for me! --Kiablade 12:26, 16 June 2007 (BST)
Lovely, we see eye-to-tentacle. Anyway, I see some drama up thurr about some other group. Tell us this story!--Lachryma 18:31, 16 June 2007 (BST)
*wiggles a tentacle* And you mean STARS? They are all jerks and bullies (except Mein). I did write a story about it on the Demon's forums. It'll eventually go up on our wiki. Its got pain, suffering, rescue and teamwork in it *smiles* Basically, they got mad and beat the Demons to pulp *pouts* --Kiablade 18:48, 16 June 2007 (BST)
Hey, get your tentacle out of my purse! Wow, that STARS feth sounds like an excellent movie plot! Especially the shocking ending! Care to sell the rights to the script?--Lachryma 18:45, 18 June 2007 (BST)
How much are you offering? I'll only sell if I'm played by Sabrina Lloyd and Mein has to be Pavarotti *grins*...with musical numbers! --Kiablade 18:51, 18 June 2007 (BST)
I'll give you one drowned rat, if the dance numbers are to Christina Aguilera and you cast Will Ferrell in there somewhere.--Lachryma 19:20, 18 June 2007 (BST)
I'm not -that- much of a sell-out! --Kiablade 20:40, 18 June 2007 (BST)
It was worth a shot. Oh well. So, see any of the Yahoo newbies yet?--Lachryma 05:12, 19 June 2007 (BST)
Yahoo newbies? Don't think so... --Kiablade 17:00, 19 June 2007 (BST)
There was this article on Yahoo about UD, and around (as of right now) 7000 new people have signed up.--Lachryma 18:30, 19 June 2007 (BST)
Sweet jesus on a pogo stick...don't suppose you reckon that they all want to become Demons now, do you? --Kiablade 18:39, 19 June 2007 (BST)
Um...maybe. If you'd save a few hundred for GC, I'd really appreciate it. ;) Anyway, I've been expecting a ton of new peeps on the wiki, but I guess these people are too lazy to make a wiki account or something...--Lachryma 18:55, 19 June 2007 (BST)
Well, they are Yahoo-ers, and those types of people are notoriously lazy. But of course, I'll happily share with you and GC! Plenty for all, I say! --Kiablade 20:32, 19 June 2007 (BST)
That's the spirit! Anyway, I just got PKed for the first time...then I stood back up and mauled the RRF bastard. Ah, revenge is sweet...--Lachryma 20:50, 19 June 2007 (BST)
Oooo, you bully! I have people to do my revenging for me *giggles* --Kiablade 20:56, 19 June 2007 (BST)
Well, of course, but this was a special occasion. For one, it was the first time I had been shot at, and also the opportunity was right there...So I'm no bully!--Lachryma 22:50, 19 June 2007 (BST)
Silly person to hang around near you then really! --Kiablade 22:53, 19 June 2007 (BST)
That's what the leader of the Gore Corps said, after apologizing for not doing the deed herself. She did fire at me twice though...I feel so honored!--Lachryma 23:00, 19 June 2007 (BST)
There's one to keep away from then. Of course, our formal greeting for one of our members is to shoot them in the leg...least, if anyone is bored, I say they should go find Koryo and 'say hi from Kiablade' to him... --Kiablade 23:02, 19 June 2007 (BST)
You shoot each other when you see another member? How delightfully insane! And who's Koryo?--Lachryma 23:09, 19 June 2007 (BST)
Actually, its mostly only Koryo... *grins* He's our phone mast operator. --Kiablade 00:10, 20 June 2007 (BST)
Poor guy, getting the bad job AND getting shot at...--Lachryma 00:44, 20 June 2007 (BST)
He has a curtain, it more than makes up for it! :D --Kiablade 01:03, 20 June 2007 (BST)
Mmm, drapery...So how long has your group been around?--Lachryma 01:10, 20 June 2007 (BST)
December? Sometime around the end of last year anyway. --Kiablade 08:48, 20 June 2007 (BST)
End of last year, what was going on then...Well, there was the Christmas Strike to retake Caiger Mall...yeah, that didn't last long. Caiger IV was lame. Anyway, how many members do you have, after being around for 6 months? (And making a news update on your wiki page once a month or so. ;) )--Lachryma 12:12, 20 June 2007 (BST)
Not that many...14 I think. We're vastly understaffed :( --Kiablade 12:21, 20 June 2007 (BST)
Well, I'm sure you can be really, really annoying with 14 people. Huh...whenever my group hadn't had a new member in a while, I'd launch a membership drive, which basically involved large amounts of graffiti, speeches, and bugging all sorts of random people on the wiki to join...in general, being a fething public nuisance.--Lachryma 12:31, 20 June 2007 (BST)
*laughs* we are fairly tame normally. Occasionally we get riled up by wars, but usually we're entertained enough by bouncing around giggling. Membership drives normally consist of tugging on the arms of whoever is hiding out in our HQ. We have large amounts of graffiti around anyway! ...no one really likes buggery though :( Its very sad. --Kiablade 12:39, 20 June 2007 (BST)
You are lucky I'm not British or a guy, as 'buggery' is a term for-well, never mind that. Anyway, I have trouble believing that hanging around in an HQ is fun, but I've always wondered about stationary groups...yes, the roving pirate life is for me! And my wiki recruiting is usually along the lines of, "Hey, you wanna join a group? Ooo, Ghetto Cow likes new people! Ooo!" It often works...sorta...--Lachryma 12:49, 20 June 2007 (BST)

(starting again...again!) I -am- British...I was just making a funny from you saying 'bugging' *grins* We've done a little roving, but the RP is centered around one home, and people coming and going as they feel. I tend to loiter around at the HQ though, purely because, as mentioned previously...I'm lazy. Perhaps I need to employ you to recruit for the Demons too? :D --Kiablade 12:58, 20 June 2007 (BST)

Ah hah, you were making some filthy joke at my expense! Moving along, me, recruit? If you point me at prospective people, I'd be happy to help. I have a great track record too. In fact, because of some last minute rat bribes (I'm dead serious, proof) MJS managed to tie for the Zombie Party nomination during the Mayor of Malton elections...--Lachryma 13:12, 20 June 2007 (BST)
I was! I'm not sure who prospective people are...Demons just generally 'turn up', and kinda...don't leave. I'm not sure about the rat bribes, but I like rats, so they can't be too bad! You must be good to secure elections though! --Kiablade 13:18, 20 June 2007 (BST)
Hmm...well, do you want some newbies without a group? Or some older players without a group? The latter is fething rare, but the former is pretty common, so I don't mind splitting recruits with you. Well...all I can guarantee is that they'll look at your group page and decide if your particular brand of insanity is right for them.--Lachryma 13:29, 20 June 2007 (BST)
Happy with any really. I'm comfortable picking up any people that don't think GC is perfect for them, and want to try a little Demon-ing. Just had to whack someone though...he was threatening people in the Demon's HQ, so luckily I was around, and killed him mid-tirade *giggles* --Kiablade 15:40, 20 June 2007 (BST)
*claps* Good job! Maybe next time he'll just kill people without warni-er, I mean, quick thinking there! Yeah, protect those random people in your HQ. Anyway, I will mention both your group and GC in my random recruiting until you get a new member or tell me to stop, whichever comes second. ;)--Lachryma 19:31, 20 June 2007 (BST)
Nah, I just got myself whacked! Much fun! Next time, I'll kill him again :) Thanks for the vague mentions in your random recruiting, I look forward to seeing any efforts! --Kiablade 19:48, 20 June 2007 (BST)
At the very, very least, your page views will go up some. Of course, I haven't seen any good potential recruits yet...grrr!--Lachryma 20:24, 20 June 2007 (BST)
The best ones are hard to find, yet so so worth it! Perhaps I should be discussing alliances with you? --Kiablade 20:28, 20 June 2007 (BST)
Aight. Allies are lovely to have. Can I list y'all on our page? Pretty please?!--Lachryma 20:38, 20 June 2007 (BST)
I shall discuss it with the Democratic :) --Kiablade 20:54, 20 June 2007 (BST)
I don't think my group even knows we have an ally section...*sigh*--Lachryma 21:53, 20 June 2007 (BST)
I've put it up for the vote, and we'll see whether it gets Aye'd or Nay'd :) --Kiablade 22:38, 20 June 2007 (BST)
I do hope you gave 'em a link to our page...otherwise they're just voting on whether they like ghetto cows or not...it could get ugly!--Lachryma 22:44, 20 June 2007 (BST)
They got a link to you, and to the wiki. Shall I be adding rats as incentive, or not? --Kiablade 22:49, 20 June 2007 (BST)
Oh, they got a link to me? Then there's no rats need! ;)--Lachryma 23:03, 20 June 2007 (BST)
On June 20th at 21:53 o' clock, Lachryma said this: "I don't think my group even knows we have an ally section...*sigh*--Lachryma☭ 21:53, 20 June 2007 (BST)" I always thought the allies section was for random spamming, not for actual allies. Hmmmm, oh and hello Kiablade, nice to meet ya'--The Big Brother Diary Room is at 551 - 85 Sheep to spam: Always ! 23:08, 20 June 2007 (BST)
I was talking about our wiki page, mister. Not the forum, that's a whole other matter...--Lachryma 23:13, 20 June 2007 (BST)
No rats needed at all *grins*. Pleased to meet you too *waves a hand* --Kiablade 23:15, 20 June 2007 (BST)
I was talking about the wiki page too, I'm just too afraid of the beatings to spam it.--The Big Brother Diary Room is at 551 - 85 Sheep to spam: Always ! 23:23, 20 June 2007 (BST)
You can blab on in our travel journal, you know...and what, Kia? No rats needed? Does that mean...we're in?!--Lachryma 23:36, 20 June 2007 (BST)
Got to wait for everyone to vote. I'm not a tyrannical dictator like you *winks* Just considering hamsters as an happy-alliance-starting-day gift... --Kiablade 23:43, 20 June 2007 (BST)
Spamming done mistress, awaiting new orders *salutes*...wait, does this mean we have new allies? Yay, fresh meat people!--The Big Brother Diary Room is at 551 - 85 Sheep to spam: Always ! 23:49, 20 June 2007 (BST)
Talkin' to Kia: Oh, I thought all of you had miraculously already voted. Well, I have patience. Some. Angel: Decent story. Of course, I'm sure it wasn't you're best work, you don't say who you are, and you posted under the wrong day. It's the 20th now.--Lachryma 23:52, 20 June 2007 (BST)

Our voting takes a few days normally. But it gives us more than 50% turn out at least. I'm not being meat though...so no nibbling unless you mean it *grins* --Kiablade 23:56, 20 June 2007 (BST)

Wow, I wish there were 7 active GC peeps who bothered to vote and stuff...Most of our members are content to just read what we're doing right now and move on with their UD lives. Which means my tyrannical ways save people time and energy!--Lachryma 00:02, 21 June 2007 (BST)
You know what, you're right. Well, thats what happens when you're playing at 5 A.M. And your not supposed to know who wrote that. It'd completely give my self up to more PKing. I maybe be stupid, but I'm not brainless.:P. Also, when was the last time you asked us for a vote? All you do is ask us for opinions.--The Big Brother Diary Room is at 551 - 85 Sheep to spam: Always ! 00:23, 21 June 2007 (BST)
La la la, those votes must've been before your time. And yes, all the famous PKers read our page. You have to be really, really careful!--Lachryma 00:33, 21 June 2007 (BST)
This is a very bendy series of posts... O.o And hello Ghetto Cows... It looks like the Demons may have some new friends? ~'~,Emily Briar`~,, 04:59, 21 June 2007 (BST)
Unless someone gets all schizophrenic. Oh, hey Em. Your sig looks nice.--The Big Brother Diary Room is at 551 - 85 Sheep to spam: Always ! 05:07, 21 June 2007 (BST)
I don't see you offering to help recruit more Demons, Angel. Anyway, I tried to get these posts to go all curvy, but nooo, Kiablade insisted on bendy instead...--Lachryma 05:16, 21 June 2007 (BST)
They need help recruiting? Well hell then. Time to take my Deutsch tagging skills and put them to use. I generally try to make my indentations as annoying as possible, just ask Matt He kept fixing them and making them uniform though, silly rabbit. Quick, someone send me some Demon-y-like pickup lines!--The Big Brother Diary Room is at 551 - 85 Sheep to spam: Always ! 05:21, 21 June 2007 (BST)
*stops tidying* But yes! Friends all round. As for the Demons, I bully them into voting by refusing to agree/accept any offers until more than half have expressed an option. It appears to work. Opinions also are accepted, but only a vote counts for truth! --Kiablade 12:03, 21 June 2007 (BST)
I have vague memories of you talking about how loving and fair you are to your group...either I'm a bad influence, or I just don't understand how nice you are for bullying them into voting. ;)--Lachryma 15:15, 21 June 2007 (BST)
I'm -perfectly- lovely. If they didn't vote, then the outcome wouldn't represent their wishes, ie it wouldn't be fair, and they might feel left out! By forcing them to vote, they realise how much of an influence they can have, raising self esteem and self worth. Ergo, I am loving and fair to them! --Kiablade 16:36, 21 June 2007 (BST)
Makes sense to me. Lach's just a little dense sometimes.Please don't let her kill me!--The Big Brother Diary Room is at 551 - 85 Sheep to spam: Always ! 23:42, 21 June 2007 (BST)
Bless her dear little socks :) --Kiablade 23:58, 21 June 2007 (BST)
I'm not dense, I'm merely blond. So what's immediately obvious to you people goes over my head. Luckily I have great and recently-blessed socks to make up for all that.--Lachryma 05:41, 22 June 2007 (BST)
Wait, so you really are blonde? I thought you were just making fun of your self in that forum post. Wow. I'll remember to keep things simple for you then. U...N...D...E...R...S...T...A...N...D...???--The Big Brother Diary Room is at 551 - 85 Sheep to spam: Always ! 05:49, 22 June 2007 (BST)
Well...I'm more of a dirty blond, but yeah...And keeping things simple will make my life easier. Maybe you won't talk as much.--Lachryma 05:59, 22 June 2007 (BST)
Actually, knowing you're a blonde makes me wanna annoy you with all my genius talk, you know, things like Black Hole physics. *Grabs chest, acting as if he took a blow to the chest* I'm shot, you don't find my talking righteous and fun? Thats Sarcasm if you can't tell.;)--The Big Brother Diary Room is at 551 - 85 Sheep to spam: Always ! 06:03, 22 June 2007 (BST)

[Vaguely annoying conversation randomly continued elsewhere] So, Kiablade, did you start the Grayside Demons? By yourself?--Lachryma 06:19, 22 June 2007 (BST)

I did indeedy. I decided that I was bored of being on my own with no more skills to snag (aside from brain rot, which I didn't really want!), so I decided that my next course of action had to be to collect together similar people, and then force them to hang out with me. Hence the Demons began with Melon, Sjors, Jin and Koryo quickly signing their names up :) --Kiablade 11:38, 22 June 2007 (BST)
Intriguing...I cheated when I started my group, as I dragged in some RL friends into UD...of course, all those lazy bums have stopped playing despite my occasional nagging. ;)--Lachryma 17:51, 22 June 2007 (BST)
Nope, mine are all UD friends *grins* Course, we chat a load now on the forums, but everyone came direct from the game, no cheating at all *buffs her fingernails*. I've been playing with my sig, so no laughing, and especially no rolling around the floor with a sock stuffed in your mouth, h'okay? I would say "Its not finished yet" in a nice waily tone...but I'm lazy, so this might be it! --Kiablade the Demons| GD Forums 18:24, 22 June 2007 (BST)
Hmm..it might be broken :( --Kiablade the Demons| GD Forums 18:25, 22 June 2007 (BST)
Either you're ripping off Emily or you demons have a sig dress code...anyway, you need to move your second 'noinclude' thingy to right after your sig code. That should fix it.--Lachryma 18:29, 22 June 2007 (BST)
Emily stole green before I could. Anyway, I'm not going for pretty, I'm going for easy to get to Demon-y things *grins*. I don't think your fix worked :( See? - Kiablade (because it isn't working)
Yeah, you're right. I'm trying to figure what's wrong...but you picked the most complicated way to code that! I'll let you know when I've figured out where the extra '/sup' thing is coming from and all that....--Lachryma 18:42, 22 June 2007 (BST)
I kept getting that too! I have absolutely no idea what I've done, to be honest and someone-other-than-frank. If you know how to uncomplicate me, go for it! I'm going to glare at it from behind my barricades, and hope it either fixes, or walks away. Html I can sort of do, but this is vastly beyond me! Kiablade and whatever the time is right now
Okay, I got 'Kiablade' looking good and less complicated. Now for the hard parts...--Lachryma 18:49, 22 June 2007 (BST)
Aight, you owe me a rat for that. Now, the timestamp is fixed, it's 21 characters shorter, and it should work okay. Try it out. Whoops, it drops down a line...dammit!--Lachryma 19:02, 22 June 2007 (BST)
Well, it doesn't drop down a line on your sig page. And I don't know what else to change. Check it out, try it out, and see if you can fix it with your html skillz. If not, I'll call in some fething experts.--Lachryma 19:09, 22 June 2007 (BST)
One rat, and a freebie hamster on the side! I'd kiss you, but you might scream, flail, and run away...which is never a good thing! Thank you muchly! *tests* --Kiablade the Demons| GD Forums 20:09, 22 June 2007 (BST)
I'd only run away cuz of your tentacles. Anyway, it is fethed up, so I will go bug people in my group who know all sorts of strange things about wiki code.--Lachryma 20:24, 22 June 2007 (BST)
I don't really have tentacles! Honest! And thank you my dear, I don't have any useful strange people with uber code skills :( --Kiablade the Demons| GD Forums 21:12, 22 June 2007 (BST)
Well, that's reassuring about the tentacles. Anyway, said wiki code person is hanging around our forum, but he hasn't responded to my question...that's hopefully cuz he's taking a look at your sig right this very second.--Lachryma 21:52, 22 June 2007 (BST)
Well, other than the fact it drops down a line, it's nice looking.--The Big Brother Diary Room is at 551 - 85 Sheep to spam: Always ! 22:12, 22 June 2007 (BST)
I shall flash a little ankle, and cross my fingers then! *stuffs her tentacles in a box, and hides it under the bed*. And why thank you, I thought it wasn't -too- appauling either :) Kiablade and my timestamp
Hey, no flirting with my members! There bad enough without encouragement! Anyway, che made your code feting beautiful and minimal, but it didn't fix the problem. Did you put {{SUBST:Nosubst|User:Kiablade/Sig}} in your preferences thingy?--Lachryma 22:27, 22 June 2007 (BST)

Well, I think I can fix it if you let me mess with you code directly. Can I mommy? can I?:P-- Che -T GC X 22:31, 22 June 2007 (BST)

Yes I am the wiki GOD, fear me. Anyways it's fixed-- Che -T GC X 22:34, 22 June 2007 (BST)
Ah hah, it was the heading! Ooo, che is a genius! Now give him his rat, Kia!--Lachryma 22:38, 22 June 2007 (BST)
Go Che! He was one of the few GCers that aren't lazy.--The Big Brother Diary Room is at 551 - 85 Sheep to spam: Always ! 22:39, 22 June 2007 (BST)
Strange that everyone is calling you mommy kia now... Love the Sig btw. Especially because its green =P theming sigs is nothing to be ashamed of! vive le demons! ~'~,Emily Briar`~,, 22:42, 22 June 2007 (BST)
Not everyone. Does it annoy her?--The Big Brother Diary Room is at 551 - 85 Sheep to spam: Always ! 22:45, 22 June 2007 (BST)

Crap when did I died? And I'm lazy, I just copy paste everything, In fact I didn't know if it was the heading or the '' before the code so I fixed both at the same time. And since this is Kiablade talk page I better start talking to her instead of everyone else. Seems as we GC people are spamming your talk page a lot (yeah we do that, all of us have a natural talent for spam). anyways have you considered a talk archive? you will need one soon -- Che -T GC X 22:48, 22 June 2007 (BST)

Thank you for the fix, hands over all her rats, hamsters, and other rodents to Che. Much appreciated for doing the fixiefix! And everyone calls me mommy. I've given up! I can be mommy to the world *cuddles everyone and feeds them cookies*. And I'll flirt if I need to! ...did I answer everyone there? --Kiablade the Demons| GD Forums 23:00, 22 June 2007 (BST)
Yes daddy.:P. No Lach, I don't hate him. He put my sig on the Wiki Code Stealers page, how could I hate him after that? And Che, your a cheater.;). Oh, and sorry for spamming your page. I get lonely.--The Big Brother Diary Room is at 551 - 85 Sheep to spam: Always ! 23:07, 22 June 2007 (BST)
Quite alright, everyone's welcome! I tidied a little, and Archived nearly everything! --Kiablade the Demons| GD Forums 23:11, 22 June 2007 (BST)
La la la, I'm gonna break your ':' button, Angel. Anyway, Kia, you should put a link to your archive somewhere on this page (I suggest the top).--Lachryma 23:15, 22 June 2007 (BST)
Dang it Lach, you edit conflicted me. What I was gonna say before your threat was "Fine, I'll play by your rules. No one understands the tranquility that comes from annoyingly indenting anyway. You realize you just invited one of the most annoying people you could to spam your talk page right?"--The Big Brother Diary Room is at 551 - 85 Sheep to spam: Always ! 23:18, 22 June 2007 (BST)
I added a link to the archive at the top:P -- Che -T GC X 23:35, 22 June 2007 (BST)
I'm a tidy person *grins* And I have a linkage at the top...and I'll happily accept spam. Although I'm hoping I won't need too many more archives... --Kiablade the Demons| GD Forums 23:36, 22 June 2007 (BST) ...ps...someone edited in an archive link!! *giggles*
So... All that hard work and no rat? mommy doesn't like me. *goes to a dark corner and soaks in his misery*-- Che -T GC X 23:52, 22 June 2007 (BST)
Wrong again Che. Daddy doesn't like you...--The Big Brother Diary Room is at 551 - 85 Sheep to spam: Always ! 23:53, 22 June 2007 (BST)
Free rat was sent! I put it on your page though, I thought it'd be worth more over there! *pets Che gently* Mommy likes you...really she does! ...although she's confused as to where all this 'daddy' is coming from!! --Kiablade the Demons| GD Forums 23:59, 22 June 2007 (BST)
(sighs heavily) No one understands my need to horribly indent. Anyway, I'm calling you daddy to confuse every body. Obviously, it's only confusing you, so I give up. Mommy.--The Big Brother Diary Room is at 551 - 85 Sheep to spam: Always ! 00:29, 23 June 2007 (BST)
Great, Kia is talking in 3rd person now...lay off the scotch! You're a bad role model! *sobs*--Lachryma 00:49, 23 June 2007 (BST)

[edit] Perhaps another conversation?

Kia, why the bloody feth are you wearing 'a railway porter's cap'?--Lachryma 23:37, 23 June 2007 (BST)

I go away for a day, and you all go insane! Now...I'm wearing a cap because its part of the Demon's uniform. And I'm not a bad role model :( I talk in third person when people are talking about yet another facet of me that I didn't know was even me yet...ie 'certain' people trying to confuse me!! Not looking at anyone in particular! --Kiablade the Demons| GD Forums 14:46, 24 June 2007 (BST)
Ah, I figured that cap thingy had some group explanation. Cuz, you know, demons, succubi, and imps always wear railway porter's caps. And yes, that certain person is very annoying. He said my UD clothes made me look like a 'hooker', the slimy bastard...--Lachryma 19:12, 24 June 2007 (BST)
We live in railway stations, ergo, railway cap. I've seen a pink zombie, but I don't know what you wear, so I couldn't comment on whether you look like a 'hooker', or not at all like one! --Kiablade the Demons| GD Forums 19:44, 24 June 2007 (BST)
Voila!--Lachryma 19:46, 24 June 2007 (BST)
You'd need a tight, hot-pink lycra mini skirt to pull off the full hooker look...keep trying though, you'll get it someday *pats Lachryma on the shoulder gently* --Kiablade the Demons| GD Forums 20:34, 24 June 2007 (BST)
*slaps hand off shoulder* I wasn't going for the hooker look, dammit! But anyway, a pink miniskirt would be great for a new, summer look, but they are none in Malton, yet...is sad...--Lachryma 20:51, 24 June 2007 (BST)
*grins* I'm not going for any look...although how did you find out what I was wearing? --Kiablade the Demons| GD Forums 21:32, 24 June 2007 (BST)
I was at your user page, trying to get to your talk page (Lord knows why...;) ) when I randomly decided to click your profile link, helpfully provided for random people like me!--Lachryma 21:43, 24 June 2007 (BST)
Go figure...I forgot about that! Glad it was helpful for someone though! I never use it anyway! --Kiablade the Demons| GD Forums 21:50, 24 June 2007 (BST)
Well...you need some more templates on your user page!--Lachryma 22:15, 24 June 2007 (BST)
I was going for a 'nice, simple and to the point' type userpage. That and I haven't seen many templates I'd actually want to use. --Kiablade the Demons| GD Forums 22:19, 24 June 2007 (BST)
Well, of course...but would you say no to a Grayside Demons template? With tentacles and feth?--Lachryma 22:24, 24 June 2007 (BST)
Ooooo! Tentacley feth! I soooo wouldn't say no! I might, in fact, give a definate yes! *eyes Lachryma suspiciously* Are you perhaps after a rat of your own? --Kiablade the Demons| GD Forums 22:44, 24 June 2007 (BST)
I have lots of rats. It's just that I managed to slap together a halfway decent template recently, and so I'm feeling all proud and ready to make another one! Any particular text you want on it?--Lachryma 22:49, 24 June 2007 (BST)
*ponders* I would say such things as classic Demon humour...but I don't really think other people will understand the flowery curtains and ankle length pubic hair...well, not the kind of people we wish to attract anyway! I'm sure Emily has an idea though! I shall go ask --Kiablade the Demons| c 22:54, 24 June 2007 (BST)
I'm a bit of a gearhead (possible translation: steampunk?) I suppose, so I was always partial to the railway station look... I would suggest some gears and other stuff, sticking to warm brassy colors myself... oh wait we're talking about a template for you... ^_^. Or for all demons? Hey I want a template! I definitely agree with the Cthulhu theming suggested by Lachryma... a grey and greens theme might be nice, with some demon eyes across the top and no end of tentacley feth. As for Sjors mighty Nordic Tree of Life? We should keep that to the forums... Koryo's curtains would be a nice touch though... I'll check DA for some curtain stock User:Emily Briar/Sig 23:11, 24 June 2007 (BST)
Ooo, yes, greys and greens, and no end of the tentacley feth...to that I must agree! We'd better keep poor Sjors to the forums, although the curtains seem to have fallen into the Demon's myth and legend! --User:Kiablade/Sig 23:20, 24 June 2007 (BST)
Hmm...you two seem to be over estimating my talents....I was thinking of using your group image, which would mean green and greys would look...okay, I guess. But I still need some text. "This user or group likes the idea of being a bloody demon. And they like curtains too. But only ones that match the furniture, you know?"--[[User:Lachryma|c]][[User talk:Lachryma|c]] 23:32, 24 June 2007 (BST)

Thats because we believe in you Lachryma! And that banner is rather wonderful! I've sorted it out on all the other pages, so its all shiny. As for the group image, that was always supposed to be a temp one, and we've had it since our wiki started, think Melon put it up *grins* --User:Kiablade/Sig 12:55, 25 June 2007 (BST)
Dammit, I'm about to make a template that says "Mmm...mommy..." next to your group image if you don't give me bloody text already! ;) I direct your attention to other group's templates, like this one or this one, for inspiration.--[[User:Lachryma|c]][[User talk:Lachryma|c]] 19:17, 25 June 2007 (BST)
Okay, okay! How about..."Have you hugged your inner demon today?" *giggles* --User:Kiablade/Sig 19:36, 25 June 2007 (BST)
Now we're getting somewhere! Any particular title you want? Do you want it to be medium, small, or fething huge?--[[User:Lachryma|c]][[User talk:Lachryma|c]] 19:44, 25 June 2007 (BST)
Hmm, best to start with a small one, just because they are easier to put in small places :) If it doesn't fit, go to medium! And as for titles, something like "Grayside Demons" would be fine...I mean, obviously, something like "Join the Demons in Grayside" would be good, but it might be a little long...I can see a series of shinies appearing... :D --User:Kiablade/Sig 21:19, 25 June 2007 (BST)
Your advice about size applies to many things. Anyway, such a title is vaguely boring, but oh well. I'll slap something to together and give you the link. It'll be different, that I assure you!--User:Lachryma/sig 21:23, 25 June 2007 (BST)
Go with your instincts on the matter my dear. I trust you to insert enough demony-goodness for it to be absolutely perfectly what we are looking for! As for my size-related advice...you're a naughty little madam, don't make me spray you with the hose *sticks out her tongue and grins* --User:Kiablade/Sig 21:27, 25 June 2007 (BST)
*smiles innocently* I have no idea what you're talking about. Anyway, here is a random sample of that template. I'm not super thrilled about the colors and I need to resize the image a touch, but let me know what you think!--User:Lachryma/sig 21:38, 25 June 2007 (BST)
Hot diggity! Its looking good! I may just have to instigate a 'spam Lachryma with rats' campaign! --User:Kiablade/Sig 21:41, 25 June 2007 (BST)
No, no, your warm gratitude is more than-well, I'll take a rat when I'm done. Anyway, you like the colors, I take it? Well, I'll mess with the pic and change the color of the demon link (you almost can't see it!) then I'll make an official template page thingy.--User:Lachryma/sig 21:49, 25 June 2007 (BST)
Aight, your shiny new template code is {{Demon}} and remember that changing it is quite easy...just ask!--User:Lachryma/sig 22:02, 25 June 2007 (BST)
Going to have to ask the lovely Emily to fix my userpage again now :) I'm quietly debating whether it would be better to have the purple changed to a green or not. Wondering if it looks too happy-girlie with the purple (even though it and Turquoise are this Demon's favourite colours!).

While I see no problem with 'happy-girlie', that might not be the look you want...so make a decision one of these days! And hey, did you guys finish voting on whether GC is an ally or not?--User:Lachryma/sig 23:13, 25 June 2007 (BST)
Happy girlie is fine by me, but we only have 3 girls in a 14 member group, therefore possibly not fine with the boys. And the vote sunk, but we had all Aye's rather than Nay's, so I added GC to our allies list ages ago...just...kinda forgot to mention it...*shuffles her feet* --User:Kiablade/Sig 23:25, 25 June 2007 (BST)
Ages ago? You did it today! Well, anyway, I bet those guys will whine about purple...*sigh*--User:Lachryma/sig 23:28, 25 June 2007 (BST)
They probably will...pfft...men! As for today? I thought I did it before...go fig
