User talk:Tarumigan
Just a reminder
When you update the Mall Information Center, it is requested that you at least put a timestamp (~~~~~), so that other users can see how recent the information is. I've added one for you this time. If you've any questions, just drop a note on my talk page. Thanks, and have a great day! --Pedentic 04:23, 23 June 2007 (BST)
Ordinarily I do (as noted in the Ackland Mall WIKI). However, the situation in Ackland is so wildly fluid that the MIC is being updated....rapidly.
- I see where you're coming from, but in a rapidly changing situation timestamps become even more critical simply because the situation is volatile. Knowing how recent information is is still important. --Pedentic 04:29, 23 June 2007 (BST)
You are quite right, of course. My apologies.
- That's quite alright. You were just doing what you thought best. Have a good remainder of the evening! --Pedentic 04:35, 23 June 2007 (BST)
- Also, could you take a look here and maybe figure out what's up with the extra text after your comment? I'd be much obliged. Thanks! --Pedentic 04:38, 23 June 2007 (BST)
Unlikely, considering that my headquarters is about to collapse to a horde the size of which we haven't seen since Mall Tour. ;)
I do not know. I don't actually program it myself...I merely paste my commentary into the existing framework. ;)
I do not think I have a signature XD
- By "signature" I simply mean a link to your userpage along with the corresponding timestamp. For example, a current signature for you would look like this: Tarumigan 05:09, 23 June 2007 (BST). The button at the top of an edit box (with bold, italics, etc.) has a signature button (the second from the right). Just press that and the wiki will put your sig in for you. Neat, eh? --Pedentic 05:09, 23 June 2007 (BST)
- I've gone ahead and signed your update for you. If you don't want it there, just remove the [[user:Tarumigan|Tarumigan Gistarai]] from the user= field. --Pedentic 05:15, 23 June 2007 (BST)
You there!
You're the guy from the NMC forum, no? Would you like some help with your page for the gunfight at Ackland?--Lachryma☭ 03:39, 31 May 2007 (BST)
NMC? I don't know precisely what that abbreviation means, but I would certainly appreciate some help on the page.
Be advised that while I do know basic HTML commands that my grasp of Talk and of Wiki editing is...somewhat less than complete.
- This forum. Anyway, you should sign your posts with the button two from the right, you put images on a page like this:
[[Image:Leonardrises.JPG]]
Roger that. I'm trying to figure out how to set my signature here right now, in the Preferences menu. Until I do, I will sign manually. BTW, your image advice fixed the problem I was experiencing with them.
And yes, I am the Tarumigan from the MNC forum. :)
- Sig: You just hit the button, and you get a link to your user page and the time. If you want a fancy sig like me, you have to do some other stuff. Images: They look lovely, but you should use the preview button, so you don't spam Recent Changes with all your minor changes. Also, you should get rid of those random brackets and bold letter at the end.--Lachryma☭ 03:52, 31 May 2007 (BST)
I was somewhat worried about how many entries would show up for changes under Recent Changes. Does flagging it as a minor edit keep it off the list? -Tarumigan Gistarai
- Nope. That would let vandals get away with all sorts of things. So, the magic of the preview button! Ooo, it's right next to 'Save page'!--Lachryma☭ 04:00, 31 May 2007 (BST)
Indeed. I've actually been using it whilst we've been talking. Who are you, out of curiosity? -Tarumigan Gistarai
- Me? Interesting question. Well, I lead Ghetto Cow, I'm addicted to Recent Changes, and I often find myself helping random new people, mostly cuz I wanted help back then too, dammit! And...um...I think that's it!--Lachryma☭ 04:10, 31 May 2007 (BST)
Your aid is appreciated. I would have taken a long time indeed to figure out what was wrong, otherwise. :D -TAG
- Yah, or you might've given up in frustration and joined the RRF! Anyway, once you finish it I'll try to take a look and fix any typos, etc.--Lachryma☭ 04:15, 31 May 2007 (BST)
I believe the Italian for "thank you" is gratzi. :D
- Yeah, yeah. I turned it into a better better version, complete with links and feth like that. If you want blinking words or strike throughs, or other stuff, just ask! Oh, and it's a lovely article in the style of some of Ron Burgundy's writing, like the Battle of Bear Pit or whatever. Good job!--Lachryma☭ 07:11, 31 May 2007 (BST)

Misunderstanding
Quoting you from my talk page:
| Tarumigan said: |
| I somehow received a message from you the other day (the mechanics of message sending elude me still). Nevertheless, it was something about me being a "new editor". Based on the tone of the communication, I was left with the impression that I had somehow committed some infraction of posting rules (specifically an infraction regarding format). Yet I did not see any specific reference to this. The only article I have edited except the MIC was feedback on a posted suggestion, and I was under the impression that I had used the format dictated in the readme. If I did indeed make a mistake, I just want to know specifically what I erred on. |
Now my answer: You didn't made a single mistake that I know of. The message you received is a template that is being included on every newbie's talk page in order to propagate good editing practices within our newest users. What I did perceive is that you are not signing your comments, and that you added your message in a quite ankward place of my talk page (very close to the middle) and a wrong ==header level==. To sign your comments, look at the template above that will give you insight on the issue. My talk page has its own help at the top for editting it and you should read it, but I obviously understand that it's quite a complicated thing so it's no problem. If you don't know where to add a comment on an user's talk page, to add it at the bottom of the page would be prefferable.
Anyways, just that: you didn't do anything wrong and the template above is there to help you maintain that record. Try to read the whole template above, and ask me for any doubt you may have and I'll be delighted to help you. I'm looking forward to further messages comming from you! --Matthew Fahrenheit YRC☺T☺+1 23:26, 18 May 2007 (BST)
Contact?
Do you have a mobile phone, Tarumigan?
If so, can you post a link to your profile here so I can get in contact with you?
Here's mine: http://urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=262811
Thanks, --Chris Retnam 03:43, 24 June 2007 (BST)
Havercroft
I have an alt that popped into the suburb (literally, it was created inside a PD station) and I notice that it's tough finding zombies in the area to shoot. Paired with your comment about Ackland Mall, would you say that Havercroft is a safe suburb?--Insomniac By Choice 21:08, 7 August 2007 (BST)
- It seems that way to me. I was free running to Spicer for my own PKing purposes, and it seemed as if all the buildings were EHB. I barely found a place to stay before I ran out of ip hits.-- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 21:10, 7 August 2007 (BST)
developing suggestions
The right place for developing suggestions is Talk:Suggestions, yourrs moved from Category talk:Current Suggestions there: Talk:Suggestions#Innoculation_Suggestion --~~~~ [talk] 21:21, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
C'mon buddy
I know we stirred up shit but calling it vandalization of your userpage is a little suspect, I didn't change anything you had already written, you have an opinions section and I left an opinion. I'm sorry if you didn't like that I didn't have a lovely happy opinion of you, but come on, you can't think I'm being serious. Take a step back and laugh man, you'll enjoy the game more.

Mall Logo Alts
I've been doing these new Mall logos for awhile now. Never though of it as grinding your face in it though. I thought that it would be interesting if us zombies had our own version of mall logos. So far Survivors have been cool about it, by only taking them down when the Mall gets to a rebuilding stage. The Dead have been keeping me busier than usual about changing them of course, but I'm not associated with them. I think it sort of works both ways though, cause zombies can look forward to taking a mall to make it "bloody", but also Survivors can work to taking a Mall back so they can wipe the blood away. Most players probably don't care one way or the other, but I though it might be a fun "goal" for both sides.--Zombie Lord 18:07, 1 April 2008 (BST)
Yo Tarumigan!
Its Oberman here. I was looking at your history section on your user page. It is waaay out of date. You might want to edit the last 2 paragraphs (especially the last one) Anyways go AMS! --Doctor Oberman 01:02, 30 April 2008 (BST)
Blinded by the light!
Sorry to disappoint you fellas, but we decided to skip joining you for some late night clubbing in the dark. You'll probably hear about where we went in a few hours or so. - Brona 23:58, 13 June 2008 (BST)
- Mmmm, the trenchy brains present at Nichols are quite delicious. - Brona 08:54, 14 June 2008 (BST)
Regarding "new Strategy"
What do you think: http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/Vault_fort --Belisarius17 04:16, 1 June 2010 (BST)
- I agree-I found your article fascinating while the Vault Fort is an idea the Wulves used during a MOB advance...I would be happy to have them linked as I think they support each other: ours came later so it seems to me that yours was the original idea, and ours was more of a tactic we picked up from other players while yours is more comprehensive like a strategy. Thoughts?--Belisarius17 04:59, 1 June 2010 (BST)
