O.O--Orange Talk 15:40, 28 September 2009 (BST) What the hell is this? Is Main Page/archive the original front page? My god it's fugly! --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 19:49, 30 September 2009 (BST) Not quite ;). Linkthewindow  Talk  12:28, 5 October 2009 (BST) fugly like yo mama! --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 12:32, 5 October 2009 (BST) Unused images Currently we hover around 45-50 images, literally all of which are ingame screenshots that never got used (I do notice these things), outdated NecroNet scans or images for groups that either never got off the ground or became defunct. Boxy's inclusionist scaremongering is really fucking stupid. Cyberbob  Talk  16:17, 1 October 2009 (BST) I just read this. Hm. I may be inclined to agree. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 16:18, 1 October 2009 (BST) Heh, I wasn't sure whether you spotted my edit to my talk page or not. Good luck convincing the rest of the sheep though. 10 bucks says DDR falls in with the bandwagon too despite agreeing with me on IRC last night. Cyberbob  Talk  16:19, 1 October 2009 (BST) As a brit I have no idea of value. Im assuming thats like £100? --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 16:20, 1 October 2009 (BST) Yikes, more like £3 or something. The pound owns. Cyberbob  Talk  16:23, 1 October 2009 (BST) Eat shit and die. I said 2 weeks and I maintain that. Personal apathy to whether they were deleted after one week doesn't mean I support the change in any way. Don't fall any sort of pressure on me just because your policy/scheduled vote fell down in flames for reasons other than which we both predicted/accepted. I was always going to vote against. Now I won't do it grudgingly. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 12:43, 2 October 2009 (BST) Guide Your guide has passed. I've added it to Guides under your sandbox link so feel free to change it whenever you decide to change the page location. I didn't do it myself just in case Starting A New Survivor Group wasn't actually the desired destination. You never know. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 12:43, 2 October 2009 (BST) Re: The Wake Thanks for the condolences, man. Your offer of protecting the pages might actually be a great idea. I'll let you know when it's all finished and we can see what should be protected. Thanks again. 15:27, 2 October 2009 (BST) RE: Crusade of a Captain Yes i'd like to keep it please, just been a bit busy in RL. I'll be updating it next week hopefully. =) Jpanzer 17:28, 4 October 2009 (BST) Random Bonus Mandem I was reading DDR's talk page and saw the Random Bonus Man whilst talking about the manhunt.There seems to be a few issues; What if A character unrelated to the manhunt kills them? Answered. Someone logs into the character, and makes them jump? Answered. Someone logs onto the character to find out where they are? Answered. Someone logs into the account and changes the pass? Not possible. --RahrahCome join the #party!19:16, 4 October 2009 (BST) You can't change passwords in urbandead. I'm pretty sure.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 19:43, 4 October 2009 (BST) That's true. Silly me. And thanks for the reply Ross. It's pretty much summed up my queries. When is the next hunt scheduled for? --RahrahCome join the #party!20:25, 4 October 2009 (BST) Orphans Are the links in here (User:Rosslessness/Random Rambling/Sandbox38) all arks of orphaned pages, or a list of orphans you intend on putting somewhere? --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 11:55, 5 October 2009 (BST) Yeah, ok. I might help out sometime when I get back from hols. Until then, good luck. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 12:25, 5 October 2009 (BST) Newby Squad Is a page with potential . --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 17:34, 6 October 2009 (BST) as is Tricell Pharmaceutical Company, Sisters of Mercy, Dakerstown Militia and The Untouchables --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 16:23, 7 October 2009 (BST) Lexicon Well, I'm currently juggling ideas on what to do. Should we continue the current round, or start the round again, or even start a new version of Lexicon altogether? --RahrahCome join the #party!17:10, 8 October 2009 (BST) How do you set up a Lexicon? Heh. Also, how would you spread the word about it? --RahrahCome join the #party!17:54, 8 October 2009 (BST) How many people play in a round? Should I put that as a note on the page? --RahrahCome join the #party!18:12, 11 October 2009 (BST) The Lexicon is starting on Monday the 19th. You are a confirmed user. --RahrahCome join the #party!07:45, 13 October 2009 (BST) Sure, that's fine. Just write up the article and link to it in /ABC. :) --RahrahCome join the #party!20:00, 13 October 2009 (BST) I have time to waste, got any menial admin tasks? --RahrahCome join the #party!18:27, 14 October 2009 (BST) See Lexicon:Main Page, go to the part where it says "Progression of the game". Basically, once all the articles are finished, you cite a phrase from someone's article that isn't your own. These are phantoms and the old rules apply to them. No writing your phantoms or phantoms about your article. (You are, however, allowed to write an article in round three, if that word/phrase has been cited from the citation of your round 1 article. But not directly from your article.) Do you get it now, or does it make no sense whatsoever? --RahrahCome join the #party!20:23, 22 October 2009 (BST) You don't need to make a reference to any other round one articles other than the one the phrase you're writing about is from. So if you choose to write the article "Deathly Gaze" from "Apathy", you would just have to write "Apathy" at the bottom in the "References" section. (See this for an example of a references section.) --RahrahCome join the #party!20:37, 22 October 2009 (BST) Put my reply on my talk page. Just a heads up in case you didn't realise. Silly me. --RahrahCome join the #party!22:28, 23 October 2009 (BST) I'ma try and contact Adward on IRC, and i'll leave reminders on Brainguard and Adwards talk pages. --RahrahCome join the #party!23:37, 31 October 2009 (UTC) Yes, yes they will. I may well just make a help page for all the Lexicon stuff, because it's all scattered about. I'll get back to you in an hour or so. --RahrahCome join the #party!18:38, 4 November 2009 (UTC) :D Why so slow?--LAZURMAN IV 15:49, 9 October 2009 (BST) You seem to be doing quite a good job so far, template, vandal banning etc. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 15:52, 9 October 2009 (BST) La Révolution Why isn't it showing up as unorphaned? I thought even ghosts would show that. Congrats on cleaning up, btw.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 16:25, 11 October 2009 (BST) Typical ghost behaviour, I'm afraid. The Revolution page you see on the Orphaned list is a totally different page to the one you've linked too in the header- The Wiki software prevents us from manipulating the former in any such way, it just redirects us to La Révolution no matter what. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 17:50, 11 October 2009 (BST) And Ross, were you being sarcastic regarding power to the common user on A/M? I'm finding things hard to decipher this time of night. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 17:50, 11 October 2009 (BST) Orphans are back Orphans like United resistance have begun springing up. I've dealt with them for now, but just a heads up.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 22:48, 15 October 2009 (BST) Unfortunately they are going to be part of the everyday running of the wiki from now on, and since they are such a bitch to deal with, it's best to do it in a large, sweeping, purge manoeuvre. Not as large as the one Ross had to deal with though :( --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 01:06, 16 October 2009 (BST) Yeah, but where are the ones from 2008 coming from? Surely they were linked by Ross before?--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 09:14, 16 October 2009 (BST) They would have been completely independent of the past orphans purge. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 09:57, 16 October 2009 (BST) Somewhere in the wiki the page it was linked to was probably moved or wiped. Happens. We can look at the lsit every month or so. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 09:43, 17 October 2009 (BST) There's a link on my talk page which I keep clicking when I'm bored, so that's kind of working out. :D--Yonnua Koponen Talk !

You can only idle out.-- SA 14:59, 27 October 2009 (UTC) Erotic Sleep Patterns I'd like to see how that turns out. Thanks for the compliment as well. As for the doctor, he might make a return. It all depends if the vamp.. err, zombies get to him first.--~ Red Hawk One Talk | space for lease 23:20, 20 October 2009 (BST) Lexicon dun. -- Adward  21:23, 21 October 2009 (BST) Signing Posts I'd like your opinion on something. What do you think about making image:sign.png redirect to something like Help:Contents#Posting_in_talk_pages? I'm thinking it could be helpful when trying to get new users to sign their posts.--GANG Giles Sednik CAPD 22:07, 22 October 2009 (BST) I agree with the above Giles' idea.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 22:09, 22 October 2009 (BST) Question Could I ask you why it is that you did this? I couldn't figure it out. -Poodle of doom 23:43, 23 October 2009 (BST) The text at the top is not really very readable before his edit. At least, I'd assume thats why. --RahrahCome join the #party!23:47, 23 October 2009 (BST) The text was no more readable after their than prior. I am, however, using a widescreen monitor. Perhaps that makes a difference? -Poodle of doom 02:16, 24 October 2009 (BST) Indeed. Believe it or not, there are lots of people who still run at 1024x768 or 800x600 resolutions. --Bob Boberton TF / DW 03:14, 24 October 2009 (BST) I see. I can revert it then. Thanks. -Poodle of doom 04:08, 24 October 2009 (BST) I bet... ... survivor-recovery-from-instant-death-all-across-Malton involves lots and lots of new Scientist characters and possibly some DEM zergers or something. No, but really, how do you think it'd happen? --Bob Boberton TF / DW 21:34, 27 October 2009 (BST) For a start, reviving bodies. Thats, (Checks stats page) 1619 people who can stand up straight way. Now discounting pk'ers and combat revivers lets say 1000. Then you've got idled characters, most long term players have them. I can unidle 2 chatacters stocked with needles tomorrow (A throwback from The Dead You never know when a mega horde Will sweep through. Lets say 200. Then you've got the REALLY organised revival groups. Personally speaking I know M.E.R.C.Y. not only regularly perform revives, but have allies throughout Northern Vinetown that could probably revive themlseves completely within a few days. In this case alone thats 50 survivors. So lets say 1250 Survivors, before new characters, are up and about on day 1. Judging the reaction to a major event, lets say they all revive one person. And half of them die afterwards. Thats about 1800 by day 2. In the meantime zombies will probably go mental, ransack most malls and half the city. Survivors will probably congregate in the North East and south west, and abandon everything else for a few weeks. Borehamwood would take a bit longer. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 21:48, 27 October 2009 (UTC) Thanks. Thanks, I appreciate you telling me about the policy re: the Burn Towers comment. I still felt that I probably should let it stand since apparently it was voted into "humorous locations". I really actually struggled with that-that is how offensive I found it-so maybe I need to lighten up since it is only a game. Still, people who understand that event know better and I felt I owed it to those that do not understand it to at least express some of my disbelief that someone could be that callous. So regardless, I appreciate you informing me of the correct policy. Thanks again!--Belisarius17 18:50, 28 October 2009 (UTC) bhw are you still in a warehouse? --~~~~ [talk] 20:33, 28 October 2009 (UTC) Yes. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 20:43, 28 October 2009 (UTC) Which one? --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 23:07, 28 October 2009 (UTC) Yes, which one? --Sophie ◆◆◆ CAPD 23:48, 28 October 2009 (UTC) should i believe you're not lying? :P --~~~~ [talk] 06:09, 29 October 2009 (UTC) I was.
