| == Re: The Jack Yocum== | | == API help == |
| Good Afternoon Aichon. This is The Horizon Man, and we spoke ingame recently regarding me creating an official page for The Jack Yocum survivor group.
| | Bob Moncrief sent me your way. I'm looking at building a bot to prowl the Danger Reports and mark them as "unknown" after several months. I was thinking of using the API to pull page data and parse it to determine when it was last signed. It would also do the same for the MPMs every 5 days and mark them as 'old' or 'unknown' as needed. Bob didn't want to just give me the link to the API, and I don't blame him, but to talk with you about this. {{unsigned|Reimannsum|19:37, 5 January 2019 (UTC)}} |
| I use an IPad, and am unfamliar with general stuff related to wiki editing, so forgive me if I am breaching protocol here. I would've preferred to discuss this over email, but do not see the available function. So this will have to suffice. | | :Sorry, but bots were never my area. From what I know, there isn’t a link to give you. Once you actually build a bot, a ‘crat can assign it bot permissions, but otherwise there’s not much more to it than Googling around to see how to actually build it. If [[User:Revenant|Revenant]] is around, he can probably point you in the direction of folks who have experience making bots. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 23:41, 5 January 2019 (UTC) |
| First, I noticed someone already edited our page, and I would like to keep it locked a private editting, much like most player groups are able too (both current and historical ones). This will cut down on the expected griefing that started before I just signed up, and is already continuing.
| |
| The user account "Hunter of America" is part of our group ingame, but not on here. Whoever made that account also already made a modification to tne page that is negative ro the intent of our group.
| |
| I suspect it is the same person who made the previous "Jack Yocum" name, which by the way I also just received a confusing "Welcome"...but not very welcoming...email from Vapor in regards to all this stuff that has gone before. Not sure what to make of all of it though.
| |
| I have never created an account, not edited ant pages on this site. I am a member of The Jack Yocum group, and it is a very real "clan" that plays MMOs over teamspeak...and sometimes Ventrillo. We originated playing with the Nothing Personal gamng community. Feel free to check the site. It is an international gaming community.
| |
| Now back to the fake accounts modifying our group page. The ingame player: The Real Spad aka bpell aka Owp aka SFW...ect. is the person who created User: CarelessWill. I know this because he has routinely tagged the link around Havercroft ingame, and mentioned it as well on the website he moderates...Resensitized (which can still be seen using a general search).
| |
| The ingame player mldhoc aka mark dugan, aka Tim Dobbins aka your math teacher...Ect. Is the person who likely created the recent Jack Yocum account...that was banned...and also the new Hunter of America. The person who plays Hunter, ingame, has been patrolling Shearbank...where this player has been caught pking and zerging multiple times, and kills him sometimes multiple times a week.
| |
| The Hunter of America user name on this site is NOT the player ingame. We would appreciate that account being reviewed as well.
| |
| Given that the "Jack Yocum" deletion previously had stated it was not the real Jack Yocum group members...and a concerned citizen of Shearbank...it seem logical that this player is attempting vandalism and griefing here.
| |
|
| |
|
| Also I am still in the process of figuring put how to have the CarelessWill page modified or deleted as well, since it has nothing to do with his own characters or creations, and simply debases our group without proper cause. He is certainly not a member of our group, and making up unproveable, inaccurate information seems like it might violate a code of conduct here? I put the question mark ad I'm not sure. His comments are certainly false, and discredit our group, so I'm not sure if there is recourse or not. I'd appreciate any imput and enlighten as possible.
| |
|
| |
|
| I will also contact you ingame today once my APs permit. And will also correct the unwanted modification to our group page. | | ==Thanks== |
| I appreciate your patience, and forebearance.
| | I only just realised you added the suburb mini-map to my user subpage about redoing the Main Page. Thanks so much for that! {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig5}} 00:01, 6 January 2020 (UTC) |
| Regards. {{unsigned|The Jack Yocum|22:44, 9 March 2015 (UTC)}}
| | :Hah, yeah, I had to look up what you were talking about since I couldn't remember the details. Apparently I had some time to kill that day. |
| :This isn't going to cover everything you mentioned, since I've been laying around at home battling illness all day and am limiting my time at the computer, but I'm sure that the others who stalk my page will chime in with additional comments. | | :Hopefully it proves helpful in the future. I eventually lost steam on my attempt at redoing the main page when I realized that the ideas we had weren't technically possible (no way to modify the CSS across all themes so that we could make drop-down menus work for everyone), but I'd love to see you get a redesign off the ground and put into place, since it needs an update and you've already had some good ideas for how to improve it. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 21:28, 7 January 2020 (UTC) |
| :#Pages in the User space (i.e. any page that starts with "User:") are considered to be owned by that user, meaning that they pretty much have free reign on those pages. It's the wild west when it comes to user pages. Unless they're posting something that directly violates policy (e.g. personal information of other users), we don't take action. Here's a [[Template:ApprovedPolicies|list of all approved policies on this wiki]]. | |
| :#If you want to e-mail me, there's a link to do so on the left side of this page (see: "Email this user"). That said, I'd prefer that we kept our discussions here (or somewhere else in public) unless there are extenuating circumstances at play, since any actions I take will need to be discussed in public with the others here before I can engage in them anyway. In fact, all of our in-game discussions were already [[UDWiki:Administration/Vandal_Banning#User:Jack_Yocum|reposted on the wiki]] for the consideration of the other sysops and users.
| |
| :#Just to help set expectations a bit, my job on the wiki as a sysop is actually relatively limited. We don't moderate arguments between two sides. We're specifically prohibited from acting as moderators. Much of that sort of stuff is left up the community itself (i.e. you wield as much power as I do), rather than the sysops. As such, for much of what you're talking about, I'm not actually sure how much of a help I'll be, since you'll likely have to get the wiki community on your side.
| |
| :Anyway, I expect others to chime in shortly. They'll hopefully be able to respond to some of the specifics you mentioned, since several of them are more equipped to do so than I am (plus, most of them are in better health than I am at the moment...grr...). {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 00:57, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

| | Good to see you pop back in every now and then. Had a peek at your backloggery - just added you on Steam. Hope you're well! {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig5}} 01:27, 24 February 2023 (UTC) |
| | :I was actually reminded to poke in because I just switched to using some note taking software (Obsidian) that can operate a bit like a personal wiki. And I’m doing great! Life’s been crazy, but in good ways. Another kid, a different (better) job, and parents retiring five minutes away have meant a lot of changes. |
| | :Accepted on Steam, though I’m only marginally more active on Steam than here, so it’s nothing personal if it takes me a few months to notice a chat message. I actually still check Backloggery on a daily basis, even though I rarely engage with anyone socially. |
| | :You been holding down the fort? Took a quick glance around and it seemed like there aren’t any projects that could use quick advice. Even the drama has been fairly low recently from what I’ve seen. And what’re you up to these days off-wiki anyway? {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 02:23, 24 February 2023 (UTC) |
| | ::Very low, very dormant. Just the same ol' wiki ticking along nowadays. Obviously it's a shame, but in some ways it's welcome. Parents retiring near you sounds like a great change, especially when kids are involved. What's new since we last chatted? Hmm. I got a mortgage and a ring, so that's new. No kids though. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig5}} 09:19, 8 March 2023 (UTC) |
| | :::Oh, ''just'' that? ;P Congratulations and well done! And no rush on the kids. We also enjoyed having a few years before the kids arrived, which gave us time to do some projects and traveling that would've been 10x harder with the kids. We love them and wouldn't change a thing, but renovating the kitchen or taking a transatlantic flight would be a non-starter for us these days. How's home ownership so far? Hopefully you've been able to enjoy the newfound freedom that comes from home ownership without having to deal with the headaches that can arise. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 19:44, 22 March 2023 (UTC) |

| ==I need an opinion==
| |
| I wanted to ask your opinion on a proposed survivor policy I came up with, based on what a fair amount of veteran survivors are already doing.
| |
| I call it the [[Anti-Consumerism Policy]].
| |
| In a nutshell, it states that rather than having groups of mall rats sitting around malls, making a tempting target, survivors should instead get what they need, and then get out,
| |
| so the zombies have one less reason to break in.
| |
| I wanted an opinion from someone more experienced than me. (And maybe some suggestions on the templates. I'm not good with templates)
| |
| --[[User:Jerran1|Jerran1]] ([[User talk:Jerran1|talk]]) 00:12, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
| |
| :I like the idea. It's basically along the same lines as the general advice of "don't sleep in TRPs", which most veteran players are hopefully abiding by. But yes, broadly speaking, it's not a good idea to have people sleeping in malls. One quick counterpoint: with Malton having as little population as it has now, sometimes we NEED to have people sleeping in malls, otherwise they become too easy to ruin, meaning that they aren't there for survivors who want to get in, grab what they need, and get out. That said, it's generally the case that there are enough people still around who aren't playing smart that we don't need to make a point of sleeping in malls ourselves, so the advice you're proposing still generally holds true. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 02:46, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

| == NecroConnect == | | ==In-game zombie names== |
| I was wondering if you could give me some ideas I could add to this project i'm working on, [[NecroConnect]]. --[[User:Jerran1|Jerran1]] <sup>[[NecroConnect|NecroConnect Creator/Admin]]</sup> 03:35, 11 June 2015 (UTC) | | Hello Aichon! There's a script of yours I would really like to use that I just can't seem to get working. I have had another player test too with the same problem. It's UD Same Character Highlighter. Sometimes with your scripts it's just a matter of changing the old references to http to https, but that didn't save me this time. Would be very handy to get Same Character Highlighter working for my group as we're zombies and it's a nightmare tracking who said what in-game as it just says "a zombie said". A full zombie name displayer would be even better, but I don't think there's a script for that? Thanks! {{unsigned|Ragno|10:59, 16 November 2023 (UTC)}} |
| :I'm afraid I don't. Whenever it comes to communities in the game, I tend to stick to the logistics side of things (e.g. setting up wiki pages, forums, IRC channels, etc.) rather than the community-building side (i.e. where do we recruit, what's our message, what are we trying to do, etc.), just because I'm bad at that side of things. And it looks like you already have the logistics figured out, so I'm not sure that I can really add anything of value. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 16:42, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
| | :Sorry for the super-slow response. It's been...a hectic few weeks. It's been a bit since I've been active in-game. Is Dumbwit or some other service that captures a snapshot of the game still around? If so, can you link me to a recent one that shows something like what you're talking about where a group of zombies is talking back and forth? Testing UD Same Character Highlighter was always tough because those messages disappear if you refresh the page, so I used to have a handful of iWits or Dumbwits around to help with testing it. |

I'm planning a big revamp/content fill on [[Malton Rail]] and the numerous railway station articles, based on [[User:Bob Moncrief/Rail Proposal|this plan]] to add official lines. Is there a place I should run this by people generally, or can I just start? If I were creating things anew, I'd just do it, but it involves altering a bunch of already-extant (albeit minimally-used) pages. Thanks, {{User:Bob Moncrief/Sig}} 14:50, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

| :I don't think it'd be a problem if you just went and did it, honestly. As you said, the pages are minimally-used, but if you can work at preserving any existing RP you may stumble across while adding yours, I think you'll be able to satisfy everyone. And a few rail stations do have quite the history, such as the one used for [[ESCAPE]]. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 15:12, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

| == North Blythville Groups ==

| Hey Prima Porta, what's with adding them two groups back to the group template, unless I missed something, they don't have a presence there, I should know, Me and Kahl Street do scouting runs everyday, in fact other than a few scraglers, it's more of a ghost town than even a safe suburb. I've never seen them before and the Male Boulevard RP is actually ran by the NBD, and the ZORT is nothing more than a few spraypainted mottos and recruitment tags left over from when it was actually running, thanks - [[User:Levi Romero|Dat One Jew People Love to Hate]][[User:Levi Romero|Commandant Romero]] ([[User talk:Levi Romero|talk]]) 17:56, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

| :Afraid you're talking to the wrong person, since [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=Template:North_Blythville_Groups&diff=prev&oldid=2255976 I merely alphabetized them] after [[User:Dhavid Grohl|Dhavid Grohl]] made [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=Template:North_Blythville_Groups&diff=prev&oldid=2255947 an edit that added them back]. If you have an issue with them being in that list, feel free to take it up with him on [[User talk:Dhavid Grohl|his talk page]] (side note: as I recall, he's a member of TZH). I've got no horse in this race. I merely keep the lists alphabetized and the logos the right size when it comes to most suburbs. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 18:04, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

| Hi Aichon. My name is ""Cerfvolant"" ,i'm a french newbie.
| |
| | |
| I post here because i fail to register on the S.o.C forum (i can't use a mouse on my mobile to drag the response words in the "anti-auto computer registration thing"). But i'll register myself properly eventually.
| |
| | |
| So i'm new and i need some intel, of course !^^ maybe i misunderstand but i think you'r also a member of the soldiers of Crossman? Anyway, my point is : i just start the game (still discovering the wiki) and during my journey i saw a "S.o.C."tag on a wall in a factory in" darval heights" with a link to your name. I have no radio to communicate with other players. But i hope you can help me, explain me, advise me, how to survive in this area... do you think i should try to enter a group like Crossman's soldiers now ?
| |
| Sorry if i'm not very clear ( my english is not really good enough to express everything..). So what should i do to discover better the gameplay ? Thank you.

| |
| :Hi, CerVolant. I apologize for the trouble you had with registering. I am a member and an Officer of the Soldiers of Crossman, and I'm happy to try to help.
| |
| :There are [[Guides|quite a few guides]] available that have all of the information you should need to survive, but as a newbie, I'd suggest starting with the [[First_Day_in_Malton|First Day in Malton guide]], since it discusses the topics you'll be interested in. If you die in the game, don't worry, we can revive you easily if you stand at Nurten Avenue, which you can find on [[Darvall_Heights#Darvall_Heights_Barricade_Plan|this map of the Darvall Heights suburb]]. That map also shows which buildings are which types, so it can help you find hospitals (where you find supplies to heal yourself), police departments (where you find guns and ammo), NecroTech buildings (where you find syringes that are used to revive zombies), and other buildings.

| == A little help, please? ==
| |
| | |
| Hi, this is Dr Killdare with the Garniss Border Patrol in Scarletwood. Earlier today I tried to log into my "Dr Killdare" wiki account and got a message that my password was incorrect. After several attempts to reset it, I got a message that the Dr Killdare account did not exist, which isn't so since I've been posting on the wiki since around 2006. Anyway, I've tried again several times and finally gave up and created this new account (DrKilldare) so I could contact you. Can you look into this and tell me what's going on, please? I have three other accounts and they're all fine. Just not this one.
| |
| | |
| I hated to bother you but I asked Rev for help on his Facebook page this morning but the lazy bastard hasn't answered me! *makes a sad face* Thanks for any help you can provide! By the way, I don't have a talk page associated with this new account but answering here or on my(???) Dr Killdare account would be fine. Whatever is easiest for you. Thanks again! [[User:DrKilldare|DrKilldare]] ([[User talk:DrKilldare|talk]])
| |
| :It's no bother at all, but I'm not sure how much of a help I can be in stuff like this, since sysops don't really have access to any sort of special functionality. As far as I can tell, "Dr Killdare", spelled exactly like that, is indeed a valid account here on the wiki (as we both already expected, but I like to confirm those things, since if it wasn't still valid after a glitch or something, we'd have an entirely different problem). In terms of why the reset isn't working, are you getting the e-mails to reset your password, or are they simply not arriving? | |
| :You may consider contacting [[User:Kevan|Kevan]] directly, since he's the guy who would have the ability to actually act on something if there's a problem. The best I can do is guide you through resetting your password, but I've seen you around for long enough to suspect that you don't need that sort of hand holding. ;) | |
| :As for Rev, saying he's lazy is like asking if a bear poops in the woods. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 19:24, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

| ::When everything else fails, we could move your old user pages to the new account, link the old account to the new account and permaban the old account to ensure that no one else can abuse it. It's not pretty, but the best we sys-ops could do with our privileges. --'''<span style="font-family:monospace; background-color:#222222">[[User:Spiderzed|<span style="color:Lime"> Spiderzed</span>]][[User talk:Spiderzed|<span style="color:Lime">▋</span>]]</span>''' 21:08, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
