== A user after being told to knock off vandalism of a page ==
== API help ==
Ok, just saw your message. --[[User:Starlingt|Starlingt]] ([[User talk:Starlingt|talk]]) 10:09, 28 April 2018 (UTC)
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)}}
: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)




== Vandalism report ==
==Thanks==
Apparently the new tactic is for them to try and change the images uploaded to the site. It's another form of vandalism given I am using the images I downloaded myself on our group page. Impotency breeds futility though. --[[User:The Jack|The Jack]] ([[User talk:The Jack|talk]]) 16:22, 28 April 2018 (UTC)
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)
:Yup, I already dealt with it. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 16:23, 28 April 2018 (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.
::I had quite a laugh watching this action today. One must ask himself though if following the wiki rules is worth it. I mean, I'll take trolls over zergs anyday. I'm quite disappointed. "We learned about honesty and integrity - that the truth matters, that you don't take shortcuts or play by your own set of rules... and success doesn't count unless you earn it fair and square." I think I might join The Dead now... maybe everyone with a clear mind should. You know, the solidarity thing. --[[User:Murderess|Murderess]] ([[User talk:Murderess|talk]]) 00:08, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
: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)
:::Sorry, I missed this in all the hubbub yesterday. Honestly, I’d love to have a policy that bans zergers from the wiki. The problem comes in writing and enforcing a fair policy. We have no means by which to check any logs in the game, nor in-game activity, nor link accounts on the wiki to in-game accounts. Without those tools, we basically have no basis for banning anyone in a fair manner unless they just out-and-out admit to zerging while on the wiki. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 05:47, 30 April 2018 (UTC)




== User:The Joke ==
== Your template coding still manages to troll years later ==
Sorry to keep focusing on your page for this but I noticed you also did the last revert a few minutes ago. Is it me or does this person seem disproportionately obsessed? Nevermind, that's rhetorical.

Looks like this one was also created right before The Reel Jack Yocum. Since he tried to repeated revert our page to one called The Joke earlier it seems obvious he was trying to hide this one for later. --[[User:The Jack|The Jack]] ([[User talk:The Jack|talk]]) 03:20, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
:Hah! I haven’t played the game in years, but this made my day. I know there are a few other hidden gems scattered about, but I had forgotten about this one. Glad to see it paying dividends years later. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 00:30, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
:Quite possibly so. I’ll look into it later. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 03:50, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

== RE: Your imposter commentary==
So it's said, I actually had no idea any of this even existed until it was all brought up today. It was quite a revelation. Definitely worth discussing. I've never used Discord, but maybe that's more viable?  --[[User:The Jack|The Jack]] ([[User talk:The Jack|talk]]) 03:39, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
:Honestly, it’s not worth discussing. It’s hard to get worked up about someone impersonating me in a game I haven’t played for over a year, and no amount of discussion is likely to effect any change in the situation. I don’t appreciate what they’re doing, but I’m not losing any sleep over it. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 05:31, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
::I understand that. Chat just seemed like a quick/easy way to clear up what I believe is some confusion on this topic. Plus, Im a slow typer, and it doesnt help that I get requests from other members to add/change something, because they want to mess with someone. In truth, having pow wow with anyone over this game seems to be taking the game a bit too serious. But since you actually took the time to post your feelings about this mess, and seem to have strong negative feelings towards my group as a whole, I just figured it was important enough to make the extra effort. I can appreciate/respect the value in one has in their creative endeavors. Anyway, I'll just say this for clarity. Personally, I dont know you at all. Ive never met you. I didnt know your characters until I read who they were. The group I play with is a bit larger, and I dont interact with all of them directly or on a regular basis. I play the game leisurely, and am interested in making actual positive contributions to the wiki outside my group. I think I can help keep the general information database up to date with regards to ingame activity. I may also choose to add to some creative stuff to the general history too. I think at this point, given the bad feelings and past drama surrounding this group, I will ask anyone else who wants to contribute to just send it to me to do. I dont anticipate alot of those requests, but we ll see. I like to go outside too sometimes. Hope you enjoyed my novel. That will be $5.95 US, but we can call it $5.00 and you can just contribute it to Kevan as a donation. :P. --[[User:The Jack|The Jack]] ([[User talk:The Jack|talk]]) 13:16, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
:::Well, whether it's you, someone in your group, someone trying to frame you, or someone entirely unrelated, it doesn't matter to me. I don't appreciate people trying to drag my name through the mud, but even if I was 100% sure who it was, I'd still do my darndest to treat them fairly on the wiki. As for clearing up confusion, you're welcome to say your piece so that there's a record of it, but you don't need to defend yourself to me. I stopped caring who's behind it when I quit the game. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 16:27, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
::::Ok, well we have a couple other issues that needs to be addressed in relation to all of this then. First off, speaking for myself as a user on here and not as the collective we of the group, I've done nothing wrong, both ingame and on here, yet you outright called me a zerger in one of your recent comments on here. Let's be real here, that could potentially be misconstrued as not being impartial from a certain perspective. For the record, I will say I still do believe you do have every intention of impartiality, but the fact remains that perspective often trumps reality and truth. And you seem to carry alot of weight and respect around here. At least an "alleged...and zergs not zerger" would be appreciated. I'm not trying to take you to task, or expect you to change your opinion, but simply ask for the smallest and most basic level of courtesy given that the rare possibility I may actually be unconnected to anything past you've been exposed to on this matter. Given the accusers have been some of the most rampant offenders ingame only adds more credence to the possibilities. Point in fact. I've noticed that Goth Store Owner, Empathetic Bill, and BPell, and all their respective alts that attacked and talked against us ingame/here, have been conspicuously absent ingame for a long time now. Did their characters get disabled? If so, that would go a long way by itself to defending our argument. Just one example. --[[User:The Jack|The Jack]] ([[User talk:The Jack|talk]]) 20:23, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
:::::I called you a zerger recently? Where? The nearest I can recall was [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=UDWiki:Administration/Misconduct&diff=2352215&oldid=2352210 this edit], but I simply spoke in generalities when I said that I don't like being put in a position where I help zergers. I didn't single you out, and speaking in generalities is how I've been trying to discuss zergers for quite some time, since (with very few exceptions) I have no interest in getting mired down in discussions about the specifics of who is or isn't a zerger. I'd rather just deal with people as they are on the wiki. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 22:34, 30 April 2018 (UTC)


::::I have also done nothing wrong on this site to be erroneously branded as such regardless of past feelings about our groups/other members activities. And while I am ever trying to be a person of consideration and understanding, especially with this whole situation, I would appreciate if you do not refer to me (meaning The Jack as a wiki User) as something that not accurate or proven. And when referring to our group please use the plural, because it's simply quite ridiculous to assume it's one person at this stage.
== The years fly by...==
::::We are actual group of people. I am not 100+ characters playing 24/7 at all times of day and night. That would be as impossible as it is a silly premise to presume. The stats page has us listed at 132, and given the average man of 50 players we listed a few years ago...we have more now...that is an average of 150 characters that could be played at 3 per person. However that stats do not show players alts outside our group, but I'd guess our numbers may be closer to 200ish characters all told probably closer to 220 if everyone is maxed out (no idea though). So the point it that our group is simply far too unwieldy, especially with almost every character played daily, for it to be just one person. --[[User:The Jack|The Jack]] ([[User talk:The Jack|talk]]) 20:23, 30 April 2018 (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)
:::::Without seeing the edits in question, I can't speak towards them. I don't recall trying to suggest anything with my use of singular vs. plural pronouns, though I do recall conflating you with your identically-named group on a few different occasions. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 22:34, 30 April 2018 (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 mentioned Goth Store, because somehow you seem to have confused previous incarnation The Jack Yocum with the Goth Store guys from a few years back on here. All we ever did was help tear down a few barricades, or rez them when they were zerged by emp bill, bpell, goth store drjackson, the prudence zerg, ect. Call our involvement helping the lesser of two evils in some small way. And that being said, on emp bills page he claims that the goth guys copped to making imposter alts of them (I've only seen bpell and emp bill alts), which could make sense since they were the primary ones zerging the goth guys. My point, no where was our group ever connected to them to the point where somehow it became our group. So presuming our group made your imposters is not only unfair, but inaccurate. Ironically though, it is those very stigmas that sought the Goth guys to ask for an alliance with us afterwards. So could you provide me the proof that those characters are connected with us, not the Goth guys, and I'm also curious to see what they did to attempt to spoil your reputation. Did they zerg, PK, something else, or is it that they simply exist that is considered the offense? I ask this because with recent information it is quite possible that Murderess was actually the one who created the ones based on you and Rosslessness. I will elaborate. --[[User:The Jack|The Jack]] ([[User talk:The Jack|talk]]) 20:23, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
:::::I believe you're referring to the link I posted over two years ago on [[User:Aichon/Characters|my Characters page]]? The one that mentions "a known zerger" becoming active at the same time that the impersonators were created? If so, take it up with the person (i.e. not me) making the accusation that it was The Jack Yocum behind those characters. I don't care who's behind the characters. Had Bill pointed the finger at someone else instead of The Jack Yocum, I'd have linked there instead and my reference to "a known zerger" would have held just as true for the same reason it does now: because the 80 characters he was referring to were known to have engaged in zerging prior to them, regardless of who they belonged to. As for trying to figure out who's behind the impersonators by analyzing their in-game activities, I have no interest in doing so. Again, I have no interest in getting mired down in conversations about who is or isn't a zerger. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 22:34, 30 April 2018 (UTC)


::::'''''Murderess shows two newly created alts on his news page yesterday and not so subtly attempted to link us to previous inaccuracies from known zergs themselves (yes I know you are also a member of ZHU but several other members have been caught doing exactly what they claim to fight against...hence the hypocrisy). AND THIS IS A BIG POINT OF CONCERN...how could he possibly ever find those two alts so quickly? Given the games random location generator for new alts alone is proof enough to the logistical improbability. Factor in that all the travelling variable, find Murderess alts, and the like, the fact he would just "happen" to spot such fabrications is as offensive as it is stupid. TSo, also given how Murderess railed against the Sysops for "protecting" me on his news page, wouldn't it also be possibly...most likely he created those alts? Much easier to fake what he is proposing that way. That being said...I'm speculating he also made the Aichon and Rosslessness alts since Murderess is known to frequent Havercroft where the Bpell and emP bill impostors were. Thats why I asked if they had done anything nefarious in your name, because maybe Murderess created them for who knows what purpose as an extension of what he previously saw in Havercroft. Given the recent claim, the new alts, the improbability of finding them, it does make aloty more sense.'''''
==    ==
::::'''''Which also leads to another point of concern with Murderess and the likelihood he is connected to all the recent zerg alt attacks on us and the wiki. How did he know all those newly created alts were from The Dead? I didnt see any mention of that in the reverted edits or anywhere else? And why would he support a person/people abusing the wiki in every possible way to the point of actually suggesting everyone should join them. Given that at the time Murderess comment about this on your talk page had no connection anywhere else (and some of the comments seemed oddly out of place until the dots connected later)? Also, his claims about the sysops were also made by one of the banned alts too. Funny how a completely "unconnected " user would make the same claims and become frustrated/outraged at the exact same time those alt edits were being reverted/banned. Sorry but not only is there too much coincidence, but outright questionable connections to all the attempted harassment that was brought at us without ever any provocation from us in any way shape or form. Please let me know what I need to do to have the highlighted part of this conversation reviewed through the proper channels. Thank you. --[[User:The Jack|The Jack]] ([[User talk:The Jack|talk]]) 20:12, 30 April 2018 (UTC)'''''

:::::I'm not a member of ZHU, nor have I ever been. I reported a few people to the Zerg Liste, but that was the extent of my involvement (hunting zergs sounded like an exercise in frustration to me, which was contrary to the whole reason why I played the game). As for the "connections" with Murderess and reviewing things via the proper channels, there are no proper channels. The wiki is neutral ground. We don't adjudicate in-game activity. The Zerg Liste used to be the closest thing we had to a proper channel, but I just found out this last week that the Zerg Liste is apparently no longer being maintained. That said, DoX is accepting zerg listings via Electric Eye, so if you want to pursue things further, I'd do so there.
:About twenty years back a grandparent told me a story about how they were talking with their very young granddaughter. The city of Miami came up at some point in one of their conversations. The granddaughter interrupted her grandfather. “Grandad”, she said, “It’s not your Ami, it’s my Ami.” Kids are selfish, yo.
:::::Of course, it's worth pointing out that Murderess linked to the ''profiles'' for the "clones", not screenshots of them in-game. There have been quite a few bots that scrape the sequentially numbered user pages to catalog new accounts. It's not exactly a stretch to imagine that Murderess simply used one, especially so since Murderess is a regular on the UDWiki Discord where Electric Eye has a bot that allows people to search profiles. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 22:34, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
:Anyway, your misspelling reminded me of that story for some reason. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 02:03, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
::::And yes, this is a lot to read, but since there is so much unbalance, and unmitigated bias, without proper cause or proof that the time is right to make sure the fully accurate story is told. For example, the story of how the Jack Yocum name originally came about, resulting from how a former wiki user used certain privileges on here to post it in game, should definitely prove interesting story too.

We didn't miss a beat of what they posted. Doesn't take a genius to connect the dots. The alts created yesterday I've mentioned were not by you but by another cute couple of funnies. You see, I do my investigating well. You also mention a lot of players that are in Haver. We ALL know that Emp Bill doesn't zerg and actually was a pain for you in game as you tried to get him to quit. He hasn't btw, he just has better things to do. He says hi !

Does a new user creating an account make an entry in Checkuser? Or do you have to wait for them to edit to get their IP? {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/a}} 04:21, 30 April 2018 (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)}}
:New users show up in logs immediately, hence why I was able to take action on some of the alt accounts before they edited. I was checking each of them during that flurry of activity. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 04:49, 30 April 2018 (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.

did you not read the header in my discussion page you inbred fucktard? I do appreciate the link on the jack's discussion page and that is all that's required, as previously I did not know how to sign (as I tend to stay away from wikis due to their infestation with worthless trash like yourself.. but at least I made an effort when asked, monkeyfucker. yet you criticize the effort.. how do you even breathe with your head lodged so far up your own ass daylight must be a myth to you?). vandalize my discussion page again and I will skullfuck your dog and cut your throat if I dont shoot you in the head first.
--[[User:Auralius|Auralius]] 14:05, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
:I ''did'' read your header. It simply indicated that you have a low opinion of people who post on your talk page. That's it. I mean, sure, you expressed the sentiment in a more colorful manner, but it's hardly relevant to anyone's use of your page. Using your talk page as intended—to ''talk'' to you about your participation on the wiki—is in no way vandalism. It's '''the point''' of your '''talk page'''. As a participant in a community-driven project, others need a means by which to contact you about your participation, and that means is your talk page. Don't like it? Don't participate in the wiki. Simple. Contacting you via your talk page is not, in and of itself, an act of vandalism, despite a poor understanding of how wikis function that has led you to think otherwise.
:Separately, I'm afraid I must be the bearer of bad news: your unbridled lust for my dog has—alas and alack—arrived too late for consummation.

If not, to each their own, I suppose, though I won't be digging up his corpse.
:Anyway, I'm glad to hear that you appreciated the link and I'm glad as well to hear that I was able to help you understand how to sign your edits. Again, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. I'm always happy to help! :) {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 19:41, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

API help

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. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Reimannsum (talk • contribs) 19:37, 5 January 2019 (UTC).

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 Revenant is around, he can probably point you in the direction of folks who have experience making bots. —Aichon— 23:41, 5 January 2019 (UTC)


Thanks

I only just realised you added the suburb mini-map to my user subpage about redoing the Main Page. Thanks so much for that! DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION 00:01, 6 January 2020 (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.
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. —Aichon— 21:28, 7 January 2020 (UTC)


Your template coding still manages to troll years later

This is comedy gold. -- Spiderzed▋ 22:27, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

Hah! I haven’t played the game in years, but this made my day. I know there are a few other hidden gems scattered about, but I had forgotten about this one. Glad to see it paying dividends years later. —Aichon— 00:30, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
Someone played the long *con* here... -- Spiderzed▋ 22:46, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

Aichon you are beautiful. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION 11:53, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Just having a little fun. ;) —Aichon— 13:39, 9 March 2021 (UTC)


The years fly by...

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! DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION 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? —Aichon— 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. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION 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. —Aichon— 19:44, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

penus When I fall, I'll weep for happiness 01:04, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

About twenty years back a grandparent told me a story about how they were talking with their very young granddaughter. The city of Miami came up at some point in one of their conversations. The granddaughter interrupted her grandfather. “Grandad”, she said, “It’s not your Ami, it’s my Ami.” Kids are selfish, yo.
Anyway, your misspelling reminded me of that story for some reason. —Aichon— 02:03, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

In-game zombie names

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! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ragno (talk • contribs) 10:59, 16 November 2023 (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.
No promises on a timely fix for this (i.e. it may never happen, so don't get your hopes up too much), but if time allows in the next few weeks I'll see what I can figure out. —Aichon— 16:39, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
No worries on response time, thanks very much for giving it a look. Here's a couple of ispy links that you can try it on.
