[edit] Peppe Street
I think the problem may be that Peppe Street isn't in Shearbank. Stupid, I know, but there are two factors to think on. 1.) Die hard Shearbankers just won't leave Shearbank and don't see the hassle to go somewhere else. They'll just pop up when the place is rebuilt. 2.) Some folks play strictly by alt ethical guidelines and Huntley could well be a no go zone due to proximity to their other alts. I'm not saying that's why people are ignoring your entreaties, but it could be. I know in the past, Yagoton for some reason has been the go-to evacuation point for Shearbank refugees. Huntley Heights has a more contested rep in game history. I think you're trying to insert a practical consideration into institutional practice. Good luck.--The Envoy 05:58, 28 September 2008 (BST)

[edit] News
- So it was only my character now, that is fascistic? Lulz. Oh, and fascism is, besides bad; a extreme right-wing political and social movement. Its core beliefs are ones personal property, and ones superiority to none fascists. It usually goes hand in hand with nationalism, believing that ones country or race is supreme to others. It also values strong leadership, often leading to dictatorship. It was first seen in Italy under the lead of Mussolini and later in Germany, under the lead of Adolf Hitler. Fascism was able to thrive in these countries for two reasons: One, both these countries were losers of World War I and were in great debt with the allied victors and the people of these countries felt humiliated and sought revenge. Second, the economic crisis of 1929 hit them very hard.
- Fascism is also seen as a response to communism. People who favored individual property feared communism, where everything belonged to everyone.
- I am not as stupid as you might think. I am not a genius, but don't underestimate me too much.
That's a fair exam answer for a definition of fascism, you'd get some credit but it's missing key things in terms of your historical examples, and even theoretical definition. First off putting "personal property" as the first in a two part core belief system is a bit off. "Personal property" is an essential tenet of libertarianism, and fascists aren't libertarians. Moreover personal property, while a nice reward in a fascist system is a sort of occasional "benefit" in a system that rewards obedience to the state/authority ... including a roughly state-managed economy. In truth, a fascist system is this paradoxical subservience to a state (embodied in a messianic leader like Hitler or Mussolini) in order to maximize human potential. This is a lot like Umbrella's "obedience" as the first step in a formula that leads to "life itself" ... which is basically a pop culture play on the Nazi's misuse of Nietzsche's "Will to Power" ... and is actually very very different to any creed you'll find in the U.S. Army or any military serving a democratic goverment. Now while your character is an "umbrella jackbooted lackey" I don't think in real life you'd really enjoy working for a company that operated in such a brazenly evil fashion (and your stock options would tank).
- As for the wall of text comment; I can start typing pages of arguments as well, but we can keep discussing for all of eternity. If I could just discuss in actual words, like in reality, okay. But typing takes forever, and so does these discussions. It takes too many time, and I rarely do these kind of conversations on the internet.
- No, I did not think of you like an eleven year old person, nor a pizza guy. Your vocabulary is too large for that.--MisterGame 23:24, 26 September 2008 (BST)
But I was once a eleven years old _and_ a pizza guy (but never at the same moment). I'll agree we've gone on enough with this conversation. We'll agree to disagree on wiki conduct, and our characters will probably continue to hate each other in game, and we'll just leave it at that.
What's your primary language anyway?--The Envoy 06:07, 28 September 2008 (BST)
Dutch. Gooi deze zin in een vertalingsprogramma, zou ik zeggen.--MisterGame 09:45, 28 September 2008 (BST)
[edit] Editing other groups' wiki pages
Hi mistergame, I dont think you understand how this works. The UD wiki is modeled on wikipedia. Anyone can edit it, and as long as its a legit, accurate, and NPOV edit, then its ok. If you are refering to the group numbers section, I changed it to reflect how many people are in your group. Since it read 'unknown' I assumed you didn't know how many members are in your group. Messing with our page is pointless, stupid, and very petty. We dont rely on our page very much. It serves solely to inform others about us, we dont use it to recruit. You say you might 'correct' some things on our page. What things? Nothing on our page is inaccurate. Are you going to readdjust our group numbers? Second, editing our page like that would be vandalism, something im sure you are more afraid of than I (I have a life outside of this game, and unlike you, I dont believe that the groups are real) For that vandalism, you could lose your ability to talk trash or make your quaint, oh so scary 'threats'. If you lost your account, who would be there to take credit for everything /zom/ accomplishes? Finally, why are you so worked up? All I did was change your group numbers. I dont think your group numbers are that much of a secret. Its information thats really easy to access. You just look at the game stats page.
If, however, you do decide to 'correct' some of the information on our page, theres a handy little tool in wikis called 'revert' meaning, I can change back whatever you vandalize with a single click. You get in trouble for what you try to do, and I just revert the damage.
In conclusion, just chill the fuck out. If you dont like what I did, just change it back to classified or leave it blank. I was just trying to help you guys out. You as a group need to work on your people skills, then maybe you would be better at Urban Dead. William Joel 23:52, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] lolwut?
How are we hostile towards you? What does the group The Dead have to do with anything? Why couldnt you just say that you had inactive members in the first place? Im sure that whoever you talked to doesnt have the whole story. When I changed your group numbers, I changed them to reflect the number on the game stats page. There is no way that what I did can be construed as bias. True, I may not like you personally, but I was just trying to fix an error. William Joel 20:50, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
On second glance at your post on my talk, It appears from your correspondance with cheeseman that you and him are talking about the The Dead article and not yours. Did you tell him that I edited THAT page?William Joel 21:04, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
No. The dead was a group I was just curious about.Complete talk between me and cheeseman: --MisterGame 21:14, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
I have a question and I was hoping that you, as a sysops, can answer it. The game stats page, is its information (specifly regarding group numbers) based on the wiki information? Thanks in advance.--MisterGame 19:43, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
I'll beat him to it. :P The Game Stats page is not based on Wiki Info. It's based on how many active characters have the groups name in their Profile's Group field. -- Cheeseman W!RandomTalk 19:45, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
Oh, thanks but why I ask this is because some moron called William Joel keeps editing my groups wiki page. He changes our listed numbers to 29 because its this way on the game stats page. He hasnt the right for that. :(. Our numbers include inactive ones that are away for things like vacation. Dont think William Joel is an objective corrector, oh no he is a member of a group that is kinda hostile towards my group making him biased... One more thing; can this system fail? I noticed a group called the Dead at the top with 1346 numbers, but the odd thing is that groups wasnt there a few weeks ago and their wiki page, well... --MisterGame 20:06, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
The Dead are a group that migrated from a Forum. :) Its within possibility that they have that many members. If Joel keeps up changing it, take it Vandal Banning as Vandalism. -- Cheeseman W!RandomTalk 20:21, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
Okay, thanks for the help. :) --MisterGame 20:28, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] vandalism
(anything quoted is in bold.)
The UD wiki defines vandalism as: "an edit not made in a good-faith attempt to improve this wiki"
The following things are considered NOT vandalism:
- An unwanted edit to any page.
- An edit that adds information arising from a misunderstanding.
- An edit that improves the page from a user you don't like.
They also go on to say "When we claim that a group has "ownership" of a page, this does not automatically mean that any edit made that they don't like is considered vandalism." Now I know that this brings up the question of my intent. I only intended to make an easy correction that would help others be more knowledgable about the size of your group. If you took this the wrong way, I appologize. If you think I was trying to harm you, I am sorry. What I did is clearly not vandalism, I was trying to improve your page, the information was accurate, and I thought you would appreciate it. If you really want to press the issue, take it to the sysops and let them be the judge of what is vandalism. Until I get a warning, I think you're bluffing about getting me banned. William Joel 22:24, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
- Steps in* Ok. I'm going to deal with this before it gets heated. First off to Joel: The page does technically belong to them so its up to them what goes on it. If it's reverted more than twice, it's probably best not to pursue the matter further in that way and take it up directly with the pages owner. And now to MisterGame: He wouldn't receive a ban for something as trivial as a number on a group page. And worst he would get a slap on the wrist and told not to do it again.
And to both of you: I applaud that you are arguing your points reasonably rather than resorting to trolling each other's pages unlike some of the other disputes that I've seen recently. -- Cheese WTF!RandomSysOp? 22:30, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Heya
Well thank you Thad. I always appreciate comments regarding my wiki page. I did take quite some time to put together.. actually my wiki page has gone through more changes than I care to remember haha! =)--Dr Eddie Ashford T | P! | W! | U 10:05, 7 August 2008 (BST)
[edit] Rorydoc
Thanks for the visit in Lazarus, it was refreshing :)
- Can you tell me where the Umbrella Corp Pker/DNR list is, please?
I cannot seem to find it. :/
[edit] Man...
Thadeous, you have some dumbass spies. Obsdark? Really? Hahaha! Epic fail. And don't get me started on OSU. xD. --Hal-i-man-111 03:45, 11 October 2008 (BST)
I dont know what your talking about, spies, OSU. Did you forgot to take your medicine again?--MisterGame 13:59, 11 October 2008 (BST)
OSU is an alt of LSU. Obsdark = Farkos. Why are you trying to get so many spies into the UBCS?? --Hal-i-man-111 15:07, 11 October 2008 (BST)
Because we are so scared of your superior intellect and powerful group. That's what your ego wants to hear right? Lulz, I dont know spies. Perhaps your small skull is crushing your brain?--MisterGame 15:34, 11 October 2008 (BST)
- Lulz, if you don't know about spies, then Obsdark is a traitor. Look, we're leaving you alone in-game. Just please, Thadeous, leave us be! Maybe we would even renew the contract in the future! You can see we are being fairly successful, and that means alot to me. If you leave us alone, we will give you the same luxury. --Hal-i-man-111 15:42, 11 October 2008 (BST)
- Actually, we were leaving you alone, until you decided to take the UBCS over.--MisterGame 17:15, 11 October 2008 (BST)
[edit] Coups
Your attempted "coup" is plain awful and is just hypocritical. Good that Kevan intervened, chaos and drama would have been caused if he did not. Goodbye drama boy.--MisterGame 15:54, 9 October 2008 (BST)
- More like Lulz and Hilarity amirite?--/~Rakuen~\Talk
22:51, 12 October 2008 (BST)
- In this context they mean the same, I guess ;) --MisterGame 23:20, 12 October 2008 (BST)
[edit] UBCS
Since you've said that Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Servive and Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service are the same group, why not change the former into a redirect to the later since both pages are exactly the same? -- Cheese WTF!RandomSysOp? 22:42, 15 October 2008 (BST)
- Will do. Though it seem "UBCS" will have to stay disambogation.--Thadeous Oakley 22:44, 15 October 2008 (BST)
- The disambig is fine, it's just to prevent one of them being SD crit 1'ed. -- Cheese WTF!RandomSysOp? 22:45, 15 October 2008 (BST)
- ....what?--Thadeous Oakley 22:46, 15 October 2008 (BST)
- Since both pages have the same content, they fall under Speedy Deletion Criterion 1 which is: The page contains no more than a line or two of content that cannot clearly be expanded, consists of random or incoherent content, or is duplicated elsewhere to no purpose. Pages created by Spambots typically fall under this category. Don't worry about it though. -- Cheese WTF!RandomSysOp? 22:48, 15 October 2008 (BST)
- ....what?--Thadeous Oakley 22:46, 15 October 2008 (BST)
- The disambig is fine, it's just to prevent one of them being SD crit 1'ed. -- Cheese WTF!RandomSysOp? 22:45, 15 October 2008 (BST)
I meant that the word "UBCS", erh cough is to remain disamobation. Just see it yourself--Thadeous Oakley 22:50, 15 October 2008 (BST)
