Suggestions

You are only allowed one suggestion per day, I'm afraid. Also, don't post humorous suggestions in the main suggestion area please, use Humorous Suggestions -- boxy • talk • 14:54 9 October 2007 (BST)

I don't know where else to post this...damn wiki is far more confusing than typical forums. Uh, I read all the documentation, but I guessed I missed or forgot the parts about posting humerous sugs in that part of the thingy...whatever you call it. I also didn't know abotu the 1-per-day post rule. I did notice that you and apparently others dislike crucifixes...should I not bother posting that one another day? I didn't think my sug was unreasonable, but if it looks like an instant kill, I won't bother reposting it another day. I'm curious why the 1/day rule exists though. Enlighten? Tbanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kolechovski (talk • contribs) at an unknown time.
Yeah, wiki's take a bit of getting used to. Just click on the "edit" link next to the section you want to add a reply to, and try to copy what others do. Try messing around with the preview option to see how your edits look (but don't save) if you want to experiment. Yes, there are lots of rules about suggestions that many people miss. The one post per day rule is there to avoid situations where people submit multiple suggestions, none of which are likely to be passed, by the community, into peer reviewed. As a newbie, the best place for you to feel out community sentiment is the suggestions talk page, if you had gone there, you would have known that crucifixes have a special place in Urban Dead folk law. We are very reticent to make them in any way useful. Your serious crucifix suggestion may be one of the few to pass muster (it's better than most), however, please consider trying the talk page for any further suggestions -- boxy • talk • 10:34 10 October 2007 (BST)

Well worth putting the sensible one up for discussion but it will die for any number of reasons....1 what about other religious icons? 2 once placed you can't take em down (can you?) some folk will collect lots just to fill other peoples safe house with em! 3 people can get very twitchy about religion and the idea of zombies desecrating religious icons is bound to have some reaching for pitchforks and flaming torches ;) Me i would want this in game but i can see why it would be a bad thing! --Honestmistake 13:31, 10 October 2007 (BST)

Morse Code

Reading your vote on that Translation suggestion...Of course Morse code is a commonly spoken language! The Military use it every day! --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 23:02, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: Okay, maybe I should be a bit more specific. Commonly spoken among commoners, or at least a good chunk of the game's population. I am aware that there are a good few military people in the game, but I can just imagine every single thing being in morse code. People hate hair-thin scrollbars as it is. And trying to pick out info among all those dots and dashes? Tell you what, I'll make a little deal with you. Have everybody talk to you in morse, and you reply in morse, from now on, and then I'll fully support morse as an official language of the game! How's that sounding?  : ) --Kolechovski 21:23, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Suggestion:20080321 You’re notified of book experience completion

Why don't you remove it from voting, now that Kevan showed it's redundant? --~~~~ [talk] 07:38, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Too late, it got spammed. That's odd that there's no limit. Even in my tests, I seemed to suddenly stop gaining XP after 30, despite a whole bunch of reads, so I thought it was true as well. Oh well.--Kolechovski 15:46, 25 March 2008 (UTC)


Spam vs. Strong Kill

Thanks for the note on my talk page! I appreciate the time you took to make it. I also appreciate the thought that is behind it. However, I have to disagree: a 'spam' vote, in its current form, is a strong kill. Mechanically it functions as a strong kill, and I am foremost concerned with mechanics. I am, of course, interested in what your thoughts on the matter are. If I've missed something, I hope you'll bring it to my attention. - Grant (talk) 07:48, 9 April 2008 (BST)

no, i'm not 100%, but to the best of my knowledge this is how it has always worked. could be wrong though. --Jack S13 T! PC 14:48, 9 April 2008 (BST)

Suggestion:20080423 Let zombies use the letter “D”

To your RE, I didn't make that comment. User:DCC did and I simply was the one who removed his comment as being a non-author re. --PdeqTalk* 22:47, 1 May 2008 (BST)

Re: Right, I know. I should have specified that Srg Napalm was the one who I wanted to change his vote, since DCC had provided what Srg Napalm said would make him change his vote. I'll leave him a message.--Kolechovski 20:15, 4 May 2008 (BST)

Hey Kolechovski :)

Seriously I actually do enjoy your suggestions, even if I wasn't able to vote Keep on the D sound one. The only way I would is if I was the deciding vote, then I'd probably vote keep because I don't actually see ti as harmful, it just doesn't make sense that they'd be able to do it. I also appreciate how ncie the debate was and how polite you were about it. I'm looking forward to hearing more of your suggestions (and I hope to vote keep on many of them). As it is, I have a hunch the D suggestion might pass (and if it does, congratulations). :) PS, on behalf of anyone who votes, I'm rather ashamed of Shakey's rude comment - lord knows I've been the victim of people voting with 'screw you' and 'you're stupid' instead of actual, valid votes, so I feel ya. --Tselita 07:04, 5 May 2008 (BST)

Psst. I saw you in Pitneybank. I considered saying hi but well... got sidetracked --Tselita 20:42, 29 May 2008 (BST)

That's okay. Hello to you. How've you been doing?--Kolechovski 20:51, 29 May 2008 (BST)

I've been gone since like beginning of July. Lots of work. I should be back end of November regularly again. Sorry for the sudden disappearance --Tselita 19:14, 15 September 2008 (BST)

It's quite alright. We alle xperience disappearances these days, and many can't come back. I'm had to give up other forums as welll due to real life constraints. Hope you are well. Good luck, and hopefully you get to enjoy this game sometime soon!--Kolechovski 20:09, 18 September 2008 (BST)

Monroeville Mapping Project

Fast link to this section= http://tinyurl.com/48jxqx

Since Monroeville has gone to hell, I'd like to finish up there with recording the details of the city to be preserved on the wiki. Although the suburb has been fully mapped, the wiki is missing details, such as where billboards are, mobile phone masts, and what areas are missing the razorwire on the edge of the city.

Any help in finding all these areas is welcome. The easiest way to do this is to start in the corner of a suburb, go straight until you reach another one, then move one space over and go back the other way. Just keep patrolling the outside, looking for billboards or phone masts, or record gaps at the quarantine zone edge.

Current areas being searched...

OAK HILLS-finsihed mapping

CENTRAL MONROEVILLE-NOT EVEN TOUCHED

WEST MON-2 alts searching, 1 at the north edge, 1 at the south, working their way toward the middle

SOUTH MON-3 alts searching in above fashion. Due to double size of that suburb, lots of help would be appreciated there!

NEWTOWN-1 alt searching, west edge of border already scouted.

If anyone is bored there and doesn't mind running all over the city helping with this, feel free to leave a note here, and we'll arrange an effective route to run to get it done. Thanks for any help! --Kolechovski 18:54, 30 September 2008 (BST)

Hey, James Faraker, I got your message. Thanks for offering to help out. Since much of the hard, nitty, gritty stuff is done, what I need from you will be pretty simple, though quite boring, so feel free to bail out if you get sick of it. Here's a map of Newtown to use as a reference:

http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/Newtown/Map

All I need is for you to walk on every block of Newtown, checking the descriptions of each block you are in. If you see something of "interest", you can record the location (coordinates are easiest) and just post them in your profile. Once the whole place has been checked, you can start in another suburb if you wish. All types of ruins have already been recorded, so that leaves the following items of special interest.

Billboards

Mobile Phone Masts

Gaps in the Quarantine Wall (Along the edge)

Any special spraypaints you deem of interest, perhaps humorous ones or whatever

Any other remarkable interesting sights

It is not necessary to enter any of teh buildings on this quest since all this information is gathered from outside by reading the descriptions. If you are in a block with a billboard, it will say so. if you are in a block with a Mobile Phone Mast, it will say that it's on top of whatever building you're at. There is rumored to be a mast somewhere in the southern part of Newtown. There is also a rumor of a mast stranded on a street, though I'm not sure if this is the one or not. Finally, any time you're by the edge, there should be an additional message, something like, "You have reached the edge, with concrete walls and razor wire blocking your way." If you are standing by the edge and do not see this message, that's a "gap" in the wall. I have also found an instance of the razorwire being one block away from the western edge (302, 75) and have noted that already, but if you find others like that, note them, too. I have walked up the west edge, so there's no need to walk along that border (301,xx).

Since you are by Weaver Mall, I recommend walking SW to the warehouse at (302, 98), the choose to go either north or east, and continue walking that direction until you reach the edge, go the next line over, and work your way back. Oh, there's no need to go into the fields or woods, but be sure to check the roads and cemeteries on the east side of Newtown. I already had other alts check the road beginning at (328, 71) to the east, so there's no need to go into South Monroeville yet.

Once I have the coords you found, I'll go there and grab screenshots at each location to update the map with. If you want, you can take the screenshots yourself by hitting the PrintScreen key (right of Backspace), opening up MS Paint, pasting the image you snapped (Ctrl+V is fastest), then saving that image. If you choose to grab the screenshots yourself, let me know, and I'll figure out a way you can send those to me later.

Thanks a lot for the help!--Kolechovski 21:00, 5 October 2008 (BST)

Mobile Phone Mast -- Club Petet [364,7] Also the first building targetted by the MM. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 21:10, 5 October 2008 (BST)
Hey, thanks. BTW, if you're only working on this project and nothing else in Monroeville, the central and Newtown areas need scouted pretty good, so I'd recommend picking a corner of one of those suburbs to start from

if you're solely working on this since 2 people are already in WM. I'll be gone the rest of the week, but feel free to keep adding all the major finds in those areas. I've also found another segment with razorwire away from the edge, though I don't have the coords ATM. I wonder if we'll be finding a bunch of those...--Kolechovski 20:18, 7 October 2008 (BST)

1)Axline Walk [301,77] Billboard -Added Oct 20.

1)Chitwood Museum [302,64]Razorwire 1 block east of actual border

3)Fraze Lane [302,75]Billboard

4)Bosworth Way [302,79]Billboard -Added Oct 22.

-Up to this point, screenshots of all locations recorded here have been grabbed. My alt will be waiting in Newtown to continue grabbing screenshots of reported areas.--Kolechovski 00:40, 24 October 2008 (BST)
