Hah, nice article, I had a good laugh. It's good to see someone still has a sense of humour while all of this drama's going on. Well done. - Jedaz [03:01, 18 January 2008 (BST)]

Grim makes all the best stories. I even skipped a couple in December because I didn't want it to turn into the Grim Show - but I guess I can only work with what I'm given. My next article should be on witch-finding - I could interview Nali, who seems to be our latest witch-that-needs-burning. I suppose I could interview you as well, as a former-witch. Weren't you? Memory failing... --Funt Solo ^QT 09:00, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Heh, well Grim is the most controversial sysop these days. Yeah, I was a former witch, I try to keep it on the low down these days. I don't know how interesting an interview type of article would be though. However I'm sure you could come up with something. - Jedaz [03:24, 21 January 2008 (BST)]

I dont object to the page, but id like you to keep in mind thats its supposed to be humourous. The most recent one had a tone not unlike that of a rant. Besides, everyone knows i have a better helmet than that. --The Grimch ^{U! E! WAT!} 03:27, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Fuck - now you're trying to manipulate the media! (Joke. Sort of.) --Funt Solo ^QT 08:55, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Methinks there's enough drama now for an update, don't you? :p Can I be in it this time? -- Cheese 20:57, 8 June 2008 (BST)

Drama? What drama? [This comment approved and edited by the SA:UD Takeover Committee. All is well. Trust your leaders. Go back to bed.] --Funt Solo ^QT 2146, 10 June 2008 (BST)

This enough drama for you? =P -- Cheese 19:04, 8 October 2008 (BST)

I was going to do an Et tu, Nubis? skit a couple of days ago when this flared up, but if you read the entire Misconduct case (wtf? are you mad?), some other wags have reached similar conclusions. Thing is, they stabbed Caesar because he was a tyrant. Oh, the similarities... *hronch* *hronch* ... enjoying the popcorn. --Funt Solo ^QT 19:08, 8 October 2008 (BST)

Haha. It was when Nubis went for the Misconduct ruling I was like O_o wtf? Et tu Nubis would be the best opener ever...if it hadn't been pinched already. Spoilsports. -- Cheese 19:13, 8 October 2008 (BST)

Et tu, Nubis? is mine: it's just the stabbing of Caesar comparisons that are rife. Dammit, it's tempting, even though I've got another project on the go... --Funt Solo ^QT 19:16, 8 October 2008 (BST)

Ooooooo. Do tell. :P -- Cheese 19:18, 8 October 2008 (BST)

Eep! --Funt Solo ^QT 19:42, 8 October 2008 (BST)

I think we need a new update after the most recent turn of events. :P -- Cheese 19:29, 9 October 2008 (BST)

Eep 2.0! --Funt Solo ^QT 20:47, 9 October 2008 (BST)

had long campaigned to rid the government hierarchy of the bloated politicos inhabiting the Psyop Citadel - i guess that bloated politicos meant me, right ? --People's Commissar Hagnat ^talk 22:11, 10 October 2008 (BST)

Oh, not specifically you, no. It just sounded good, in the context of the article (and the over-arching metaphor of, I suppose, the Russian revolution, or one of them, anyway), to refer to every other sysop as being a bloated politico. Nothing personal, I assure you. It's written from the POV of, you know, whoever's writing it is worried that if they say the wrong thing, then they're up for execution. I was going to write a bit about you becoming a non-sysop, but I wasn't on the wiki at the time so I don't know how that went down. Did you demote yourself? (I read somewhere on here, but I don't recall where exactly, a bit where Grim was taking credit for your demotion, and saying that it was something he'd been working towards for some time. Man, where was that...) --Funt Solo ^QT 22:19, 10 October 2008 (BST)

Yes, i requested my own demotion... mainly because i finally grew tired of having to deal with grim and all drama he was ever creating. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^talk 23:18, 10 October 2008 (BST)

Regarding Mod Conspiracy News Template

As part of Project CP and the Community Portal's usage of the Mod Conspiracy News Template, I'll be changing the coding to that of Template:NBox instead of Template:NewsBox. Long story short, you'll be insering new reports in a similar way to Template:Wiki News from now on, which should be a lot easier and less time consuming.

If I am wrong, you would like to discuss this or you would just like me to leave that Mod Conspiracy template out of the change queue, just let me know. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 06:14, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

It would appear that someone dropped a line about a conspiracy between the sysops. Update time? --Akule ^{School's in session.} 18:50, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

I am amused... by this... "conspiracy." --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 18:52, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Me too. When do I get to join the "conspiracy"? :( I haven't got my key to the secret Sysop room yet. -- Cheese 19:34, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure that a couple of guys dressed in black suits turn up at your front door with a saftey-deposit key, leading to a set of instructions whereby you place a specific wanted ad in a paper on a given day and are sent your key. they probably haven't found your house yet.--Seventythree^Talk 21:05, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Anyone can (obviously) feel free to add their own reportage to that page. It's starting to look far too much like The Grim Show, anyway - and now he's semi-retired. I'm not inspired by anything these days - and I was far too close to the last thing I thought was even vaguely worthy. Who is this DCC punk? Doesn't he realise that his news of a conspiracy is olde news? When I wert lad, we had proper conspiracies: none of this "they're trying to ban me for abusing a fellow wikizen" nonsense. We had good old fashioned purges and secret cabals. Come to think of it, Gnome is being kind of, quiet...is he the new power behind the throne? --Funt Solo ^QT 21:33, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Gnome was always the power behind the throne........--Seventythree^Talk 21:38, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Come to think of it, Gnome is being kind of, quiet...is he the new power behind the throne? - and look who is the new crat ? Prophecies commin true ? --People's Commissar Hagnat ^talk 19:40, 8 October 2008 (BST)

Well, let's see how well this prophecy stuff works. J3D is being kinda quiet...is he the real power on the wiki? --Funt Solo ^QT 19:54, 8 October 2008 (BST)

Even if I was stupid (and I am not no matter what you may think) it would still be very impolite to say the things you said. You act like you own the Wiki. And I am glad you don't - no matter how much you do for it. This is sad. --JohnRubin 20:27, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

An implimented suggestion

Hi, I was looking through the PR archives, and found this suggestion that has been implemented... Sorry I'm too lazy to move it myself, but I figure you know where and how it should be moved, it'd take me ages to work out the system for just this one... g'arn, be a pal -- boxy ^{T L ZS Nuts2U DA} 04:39, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

1. Cut and paste the suggestion from it's current location to the Implemented Suggestions page (new at the bottom).
2. Cut the entry on the Peer Reviewed page general listings.
3. Create a new entry at the bottom of the Peer Reviewed page Implemented Suggestions listing. (This involves the date implemented, if known, the date the suggestion was first posted, and the author of the suggestion, if known.)

Suggestions

Eh, I see you've basicaly retired from cycling the suggestions system. 3 to 4 months of doing it, quite a good job. I'm starting to think that we need a template to say that such and such has worked on the suggestions system. =P I've got one question though, do you know what Zaruthustra's 2nd ‎law is? - Jedaz^{ΣT MC ΞD GIS S! 12:45, 23 April 2007 (GMT)}

Not the first clue. Religion isn't my thing, unless it's worship of pizza. But a template would be nice. --Funt Solo 14:01, 23 April 2007 (BST)

lol, well it's not actualy from a religion, but another wiki user, although I'll forgive you for not knowing him because of how new you were to the wiki at the time he idled out. But the law states "Somebody will always vote keep given enough time" ^[1]. Just a useless bit of information that I thought I'ld share. Anyway once I make that template I'll let you know about it so you can show it proudly =P - Jedaz^{ΣT MC ΞD GIS S! 13:12, 23 April 2007 (GMT)}

Precinct 13?

I was reading through your suggs (some of which are very cool and found this reference to precinct 13, what is it and why is it in gatcombeton? Thanks.--xoxo 10:24, 4 May 2008 (BST)

Gatcombeton is the 13th suburb (reading ttb-ltr), and the Lamport Walk PD is an island, surrounded by car parks and streets. This is reminiscent of the set up for the movie Assault on Precinct 13. That's all. --Funt Solo ^QT 12:28, 4 May 2008 (BST)

Ah ok, i figured it was something such. Nice double meaning, and i've always meant to go that famous PD and overcade it...one day, one day...--xoxo 05:48, 5 May 2008 (BST)

suburb pages

I'm liking the redesign. How about putting the radio frequency above the map, like on the Caiger Mall page? --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 17:44, 13 October 2008 (BST)

I don't know - it seems like non-essential information, and the top of the page is pretty crowded as it is. --Funt Solo ^QT 04:25, 14 October 2008 (BST)

True. DO we need a template at all? Can't we just have suburb frequency on the the Template:Suburb?--Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 16:43, 14 October 2008 (BST)

If you look at the Pitneybank page (for example), they have a section on the page, where the template advertises the suburb freq., and then in the text they explain that the mall and fort have a dedicated freq. which is useful in-burb. They then discuss 'cading and mast location tactics for the 'burb's TRPs, as well as info on the local mobile phone mast. I do want to re-jig the template:suburb, though. I was thinking of moving the group listings right down to the bottom. Have all the standard info. at the top, so it's always in the same place, and then have the listings (which are sometimes tiny, sometimes huge). So, that's next on my list. --Funt Solo ^QT 16:47, 14 October 2008 (BST)

Dakerstown

So why you upped it to dangerous then? --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 20:03, 19 October 2008 (BST)

I said on the edit - the EMR says 100+ zombies, which is Dangerous by the definitions. --Funt Solo ^QT 20:06, 19 October 2008 (BST)

Dangerous

• Zombies inside many resource buildings; OR hostile mobs of 50+

Or have i missed some small print? (Which is more than likely). --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 20:08, 19 October 2008 (BST)

Maybe I'm missing something, but 100 is more than 50, right? --Funt Solo ^QT 20:13, 19 October 2008 (BST)

Aha! So its a disagreement over the word mob, got it. By my reasoning the largest mob is (scans necronet) 34 and 10/11 trp's powered, but hey, you've just updated all the danger reports in a standard way, so i'm not going to rock the boat. :-) --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 20:21, 19 October 2008 (BST)

If you're on the ground and you think it qualifies as moderate (due to the spread of zombies, or the status of the suburb overall) I won't argue the case with you. I always consider 51-149 zombies to be Dangerous, and 150+ to be Very Dangerous, if I have no other information. I don't bother trying to figure out if they're in a mob, because (for most lightly populated suburbs) 100 zombies roaming around means it's pretty dangerous. --Funt Solo ^QT 20:27, 19 October 2008 (BST)

Why did you revert my news?

Ted Blackheart 21:05, 22 October 2008 (BST)

Not sure what news removal you're talking about specifically (knowing funt, it could be any number of posts...) but i suggest you read the news guidelines at the top of the news section on each suburb page. News posts should be NPOV and avoid tactical advice or calls for help.--xoxo 06:33, 23 October 2008 (BST)

First off, you'd edited the header incorrectly. The help pages (see links on your left) should help you with that - or just copy what other people have done and check your edits later. Secondly, your report referred to a single zombie attacking a single building. Frankly, for an entire suburb, that isn't newsworthy (unless the zombie is 10 stories high and shits exploding unicorns). There are individual building pages for what is happening at individual buildings. Your report would have been more appropriate there. --Funt Solo ^QT 07:10, 23 October 2008 (BST)
