Vinetown

Hi, just wondering, on the suburb map, you said Vinetown and Mitchem Mall were under attack. This is not necessarily true. There are about 45 zombies. None of them are at Mitchem or it's surrounding buildings. --The Last Saint 19:50, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

My bad. One of my group's scouts was just there and is apparently a lying bastard. Sorry bout that. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by The Last Saint (talk • contribs) at an unknown time.

Mall Record Counting

If you check the history date/times of mall statue, 
you'll find that "in zombie hands" reached 10 today... 
regardless of the fact that when you got there it was 9.
 --Memoman 20:04, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes, and that's what it still says, I just corrected the format. You wrote:

10/20 1 April 2007 - 7 March 2008

which would indicate that 10 malls had been in zombie hands from April 2007 to March 2008. I wrote:

10/20 1 April 2007

10/20 7 March 2008

which indicates that there were 10 malls in Z hands on 4/1/07 and on 3/7/08 - the correct case. Thanks for helping keep this stuff updated. --Quincy Kildare 02:40, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

No Comments in DangerReports

For a while now, you would update the User:DangerReport for various resource buildings and leave no comments to describe the situation. Why?

If you are at the building, you should be able to provide some details for the situation. At the very least, describe the strength of the barricades and the presence or absence of a generator. How many survivors or zombies are inside would be good to know. The presence of a radio transmitter could be helpful. Detail like that.

The different danger levels are not enough. For example, the status "rebuilding" for an NT Building can vary from survivors killing and dumping zombies out of the recaptured building in a raid to survivors powering up an abandoned facility. Or "safe" could be a constantly-powered Hospital providing first aid kits for survivors or could be a well-defended Hospital that occasionally lost its generator from the daily harassments from a small group of zombies. --The Masked Lurker 22:14, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

- You know, if you are going to rely on iWitness records as your details, at least do a screenshot for each block of the building. Joachim Mall is a 4-block building. --The Masked Lurker 05:25, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Project NecroWatch

A.L.I.C.E. - NecroNet 2.0

Greetings Memoman. I have observed your recent interest in Project NecroWatch. Do not be alarmed. I have analyzed your potential and determined that you would make a perfect test subj<<ERROR>> NecroTechnician. As an organization, NecroWatch requires absolutely no "group" affiliation or commitments, thus freeing you to act according to your own motives, desires, and goals. The only requirement from you as a NecroTechnician is the task of reporting NecroNet scans from facilities within your suburb(s). Even then you would have the choice of how often you complete this task or which facilities you would prefer to work with. If you are interested in joining all you need to do is confirm your membership by signing up here. Starting on January 1st 2008 all NecroNet scans reported to NecroWatch by licensed NecroTechnicians will count towards ranks with the ultimate prize of earning delicious cake.

Colours.

Yep. It took a while, but its not that hard. Let me know if you need a hand with anything.--Ross^lessness 21:26, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: UD Automapper

Heya there! Yea - I spotted that bug - we'll try to get a bug fix out, but thankfully it isn't too major and issue, and as soon as the user moves one block then the intial block is covered, and any block that they'll move on to is mapped too. Thanks for mentioning it though - of course it would be better if it was perfect, and we'll work towards that end, but the main drive here was speed and initial functionality - I'm sure that you understand - thanks again! ^_^ --xensyria^T 14:49, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Re: Informing of updates

I replied to your entry on my talk page. lɐʇɹoW-t-script 20:59, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

NecroWatch

In answer to your post on my Talk wikipage...

That depends on who reports them. None of the scans I post/upload are actually mine (I'm retired from UD), rather they are reported to me via NecroWatch by someone else and I help by uploading them. It frees up people who just want to hand over an iWitness link and not have to worry about the work related to getting it posted. I don't mind doing the work if it helps share scans with everyone (I'm one of the helpful sort in UD). You can of course refer to the name of the person I reported the scan for if you want to follow-up with them (I sign in their name, as it's their scan and they get all the credit for it). --Mobius187 18:19, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Suburb/History

Because days are in this order inside each month. If you want to revert the order, you'll need to revert the order inside each month (including archives, i guess)... You may ask about this on the Talk:Suburb/History though, maybe other people's ideas on this differ from mine --~~~~ [talk] 21:59, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Months are not standalone entities, it is a continuous flow of days. if you change order the flow is broken. P.S. Please, sign your posts. --~~~~ [talk] 22:11, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Search Odds

Thank you for contributing to Search Odds project, i've added your data to tables. Hope to see more later. By the way, it's enough to keep track of numbers (40AP, 18 fak, 22 nothing), the sequence is not really needed :) --~~~~ [talk] 21:05, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Project Mentor

Hey there, I'd just like to let you know that Goebi is not very active on the wiki anymore, and is not really available as a mentor. I would be more than happy however to help you out, as I wrote most of the custom signature page. --_Ducis ^Dux_Sloth^Talk 11:39, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

I moved this to my discussion page. I'm going to be looking at the template page karek linked, if I need anymore help I'll look you up.

Templated Signatures

You can find help on that here. If that isn't enough just mention it and I'll answer whatever questions you might have about them to the best of my abilities.--Karek^maps?! 07:04, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi

Hi Memoman! As we can see, you made your first edits to this wiki not long ago. It's OK to be new, and we encourage new blood to join and enrich our community. At the same time, we understand that no one is a perfect wiki editor straight off the bat, and, just in case you get stuck, here're some useful tips to help you out. Please take the time to read them.

General Editing

Never delete someone else's edits, comments, responses, etc. off community pages. To do so is considered vandalism. If you write a comment it's useful to sign it so that other editors will know who wrote it. You can write "~~~~" at the end of your comment to sign it, or there's this button on the top of the edit page that will sign for you if you want. You may want to know how your edits will look before they have been saved, to make sure that nothing is wrong. Use the "Preview" button before the "Save" button - it's your friend! If you're slow in your editing and there's an editing conflict, you might not understand the error that you get. The easiest way to overcome the edit conflict is to copy whatever you have been writing, go back with your browser, and then re-enter the edit page so that you can add your edits without deleting those made before yours. The wiki is a collaborative project, please do your best to work well with fellow editors. Further help for editing the wiki can be found on the Help page.

Project Mentor

Project Mentor has been set up to allow new wiki users to have a more experienced wiki veteran mentor them for the first few weeks. Visit its page for more information!

Your User Page

One of the great things about the wiki is that every user can have his or her own user page! These pages are located in the User: namespace — in other words, they all begin with "User:" (yours is User:Memoman). The appropriate place to write about yourself or your characters is on your user page, or a subpage of that page (e.g., User:Memoman/Your Character's Name). Please don't create pages about yourself outside the User: namespace. Those pages will be moved into subpages of your user page, and the original speedily deleted. If you want something to be deleted, use the speedy deletion page; that's why Criterion 7 was made.

User Talk Pages

Every user has a talk page, found by clicking the "discussion" link at the top of his or her user page, or by going directly to it (yours would be User talk:Memoman). If you have a question for someone, or want to say something to him or her, his or her user talk page is the place. However, many users on the wiki have established specific guidelines for how their user talk pages are to be treated — where new comments should go, how they should be written, what is or is not okay to talk about, etc. Be sure to look for guidelines on the talk page before you leave a comment. If you don't see any guidelines specified, the assumption is that you should place your comment at the bottom of the talk page, under a level 2 heading. This can be accomplished by clicking the "+" link next to the "edit" tab at the top of the talk page, or by manually typing in your message in this format: ==Message title== Your message goes here When replying to a comment already laid on the page, remember to indent it correctly: do it by inserting as many colons plus one to the message you're replying to at the begining of your message, like this: ==Message title== Your message :User's reply ::Your reply

The Suggestions Page

We know that as a new user, you want to share your ideas with us. But a community as big as ours has already seen all kind of suggestions, and it's possible that we've already seen something very similar to the ideas you have. Follow these simple guidelines to make sure that your suggestion gets the respect that it deserves: First of all, read the Suggestions Page's rules. We strongly recommend that you read the Suggestions Dos and Do Nots and the Frequently Suggested Ideas pages so that you will have an idea of what kind of suggestions are likely to be accepted and what kind are ridiculous in the eyes of the community. The pages might look long and time-consuming to read, but you will find them entertaining and helpful. You might also want to look at the Previous Days Suggestions. These contain a record of all previous suggestions. Use the search function in your browser to search for keywords relating to the suggestion you want to make. It may be helpful to wait a few days to get a feel for the wiki and the other users before subjecting your idea to any possible criticism. If you're unsure, the Suggestions Discussion page is good neutral territory to suggest, gather feedback, and refine your idea before officially submitting it. Write your suggestion according to these steps. If it looks too complicated for you, ask for help. You can't modify a suggestion that you've written once it has been posted on the Suggestions page. You can withdraw and resubmit it with changes later, but only do that if people liked your original suggestion while requesting changes, not if it was Spaminated. If you get stuck at ANY point in writing your suggestion, ask for help. There's no shame in being new and after a few times, you'll get the hang of it.

Additional Contacts

If there's anything not covered by this introduction, you still have plenty of avenues to find some extra help. Project Welcome and Project Mentor are perfect starting points, but if you have something more pressing at hand, don't be afraid to get in touch with the administration staff.

Remember: These guidelines may look difficult to learn and follow, but they're mainly just common sense! Think about what you're going to say or do before you do it! If you don't make an effort to do so, then why would others have the obligation to be nice to you? Feel free to ask any Project Welcome member if you need help, that's our purpose anyways!

If you want to delete this text, just delete the {{Welcomenewbie}} line from your talk page. Remember that you can always have access to these tips on the Project Welcome/Welcomenewbie page. --AXE HACK _TALK ^{Desu Nōto} _χIII ^{Everyday I'm Shufflin'!} 22:09, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

UDunBrain

I'm not sure its kosher to edit that stuff out, but I did update it to reflect the fact that its a potential violation of terms of use. Its pretty much a given that such a database WILL get false reports. The best way to avoid this would be to give each person who submits data an account, and then only display data from accounts that you "whitelist". I'd planned something similar for Iwitness, only the "whitelisting" woulds have been user controlled, via mutual consent. IMO that's the major drawback to UDBrain- you can't prevent other people from seeing the info you submit.  Swiers 22:14, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
