Duck Hunt

Do you still plan on running the Duck Hunt event? If I run an event starting the second week of February, will it interfere with your plans? ~Vsig.png 17:18, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Manhunt Interview

So the interview is located here and here. Feel free to change how you want your name to be represented or anything else in your answers. I went with Ross because I don't like typing a lot. I might change the order around a little and how much is on the main page, and how much spills over, but for the most part it will look like this. Thanks again for all your help.

I stole your Manhunt Marathon image because it seems to be the current "big thing" in Manhunt. If you would like us to promote a different Manhunt event, please feel free to change the image or the text underneath the image. Or if you don't, we can erase it as well. -MHSstaff 18:57, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Mudkip Hunt

There's a week left, so this is to remind you to meet at The Roger Arms, Penny Heights if alive, or Junkyard 98,76 if dead, Penny Heights, 3 days before the competition begins. DJSpinbad will be at that location to confirm you are there when the competition begins. Those who do not arrive will be disqualified. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 20:31, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Dezonus A/PM

Hey. I'm not willing to vouch for Dezonus' candidacy, I don't think he's ready, and I think the feedback from the community reflects this. What are your thoughts? -- LEMON #1 00:25, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Arby

Oh,... I have to tell him about the arbitration for it to be taken seriously? -EstacadoTalk 23:50, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

While the wiki community attempts to work on the basis of encouragement and cooperation, there are occasions where wiki users find themselves unable to reach accord. In the event of this happening, the Arbitration Team may be called upon to intervene, and attempt to find a reasonable compromise that, while perhaps not satisfying both parties, may at least assist in defusing the situation, thanks to the unbiased third party. Show me anywhere you tried to reach accord on this. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 11:10, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Pst!

Instead of writing here first, you should check your PMs on OBR/404's forums! But since you did write something, I may as well throw in "Rosslessness" as a future potential character. ;) --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 21:57, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

Just read it. Yeah, sure, whatever. As long as there's no pictures discovered of me riding bicycles. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 22:30, 14 December 2010 (UTC)


Was just looking around

I was doing some reading, and it looks like the Battle of Krinks was due for un-protecting awhile ago. Mind you, I'm mentioning it here, rather than on A/PT, because I'm not filing a formal request to have it un-protected. I'm merely pointing out that it was due as a courtesy of sorts, but if I had my druthers, I'd just leave it protected indefinitely since I'd rather not see that can of worms reopened again.

Always forget the week only stuff. Let me hve a few hours. Im going to re read everything. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 14:05, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
I'm happy to re-evaluate him. I'm willing to assume the brain explosions he's had in the last few days were just a product of the stress of exams, he said he'd have some around this time, same shit happened to me on wiki all the time. As for the checkuser, he usually has the good sense to back down when he's told en masse that he's wrong, like the incident when he complained about you. I don't think the community wants him out just yet, so I'm for cycling it as successful for sure. You can do it if you like, I might when I get home. -- LEMON #1 00:42, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Hey I got your message on the forum but apparently I do not have the privileges to sent PMs. What a crock. Anyway, I agree with your statements. So is there any way you can send a message on my behalf to get me unblocked from sending PMs or possibly point me to an off forum person so I can request it myself?

Quick note

I think you might have made the wrong call when you last wiped Zakarus's page. He'd made a user account when he made that edit. Just on the last one though, the one's before that were fine. =p Just to give you the heads up. -- Cheese 20:07, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Hmm indeed ...

Luckily for me the VGA zerg army is more an open and shut case of zerging ... just on a ridiculous scale. ~Vsig.png 19:25, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

An Fak?

What? Fak, fak is both singular and begins with a Fer sound (as in rhymes with flak.) as opposed to an ef sound. Unless he's calling it an F.A.K. it should be A fak. Although the an H. thing is probably correct. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 02:21, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

"Acronyms read letter-by-letter in most of the world."[1] I pronounce it 'fack' as well, but it is an acronym, and we don't want to leave out the clusless newbs who don't get the 'FAK yourself' joke and think it's just an innocent abbreviation. --VVV RPGMBCWS 02:28, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
Acronym. FAK. Eff-Ay-Kay. As a one-syllable word, it would be fak, or Fak. H thing is correct if the letter is pronounced aitch, though it's usually pronounced haitch over here. For hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee 02:30, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
Only by fools. And no one in the world uses the phrase "F.A.K." Its a Fak. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 02:34, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
I call them Eff-Ay-Kays occasionally, actually... Aichon 02:43, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
Same number of syllables as the words they stand for, but less well known. Why? --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 02:45, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
Quicker to type. I don't dictate my posts, after all. Tongue :P For hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee 02:49, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
Err, I was just offering a pronunciation for how I refer to the abbreviation "FAK". Sometimes it's as eff-ay-kay, and sometimes it's as fack. I don't ever actually spell it out like that unless I'm describing the pronunciation. Aichon 03:16, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

I was hoping I could get your help

I'm wanting to give a try at restarting the BBC. But I have a problem, I can't find where we placed the newsbox template we made. I'm hoping that it's not protected, but can you help me find {{BBCNewsBox}}. Thanks in advance. --Les Nessman 01:05, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Template:BBCNewsBox. You've maybe forgotten to add the "Template:" bit before its name, it's a common enough mistake. For hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee 01:10, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
Yep, that was my problem. Been away from the wiki long enough that I forgot all of the tricks. Thanks for the help Misanthropy. --Les Nessman 03:20, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Sysop-ing

Is going well. Not a lot of drama at the moment (not that I miss it). I just noticed that when I was speedy'ing pages that sometimes the deletion comment was filled in and sometimes not. I thought maybe it had something to do with deleting from the page its history page (I'm making sure to check history before each deletion) but that does not seem to be the case. It happens sometimes when deleting normally. Just an oddity, I suppose. ~Vsig.png 20:30, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

If certain circumstances are fulfilled (e.g. the page is short) then it'll fill it in for you.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 14:05, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
Mystery solved. Thanks, Yon. ~Vsig.png 14:21, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

A hypothetical question...

Yo. Just appealing to your knowledge of all things wiki here. If I were hacking on yet another UD toy, and I wanted some wiki page automatically updated from me own server, would it be okay to create a wiki user who would not actually be a person, but a robot, which would edit some page or pages under its own wiki user space once a day? Hypothetically, like. --Sophie ◆◆◆ CAPD 20:56, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, nothing wrong with that. As long as the bot doesn't go on a rampage! -- ϑanceϑanceevolution 23:44, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
Oh cheers DDR. Yeah if I were doing something like this, I would be very very careful ^_^ --Sophie ◆◆◆ CAPD 00:11, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Wotan's templar

Have just seen that you have deleted them, probably as part of the vandalism by the suspected Cornhole sockpuppets. However, they are on the stats page. Unless Cornhole has really worked on his alt army, it's maybe someone else? -- Spiderzed 13:15, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Reading the contents of the page (check recent changes) with its naming of corn specifically I'm fairly confident. Plus his targetting of A/A A/VB, the user pages of users specifically involved in the battle of Krinks, Krinks itself, groups involved in the battle of krinks, his history of zerging, his use of open proxies and my own gut feeling, I'm sure that its very easy for Corn to create ten alts.
Oh. And this is fairly damning. http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1671228
But keep on poking me. One day I'll abuse my power. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 13:22, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Oh, I didn't mean that it is A/M-worthy - even if it was a misjudgement, the surrounding heap of obvious vandalism and the quick need to undo it would excuse it as wrist-slap stuff.
But interesting findings. Looking forward to Google's next caching of UD profiles to learn who the remainder are... -- Spiderzed 13:32, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
I know spider. For once we've got a fairly accountable bunch of sops, and a fairly good second tier of users, like yourself with good procedural and wiki knowledge. Long may it continue. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 13:34, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Thing

Something different, is there a reason why every promotion category (successful, unsuccessful, unaccepted etc..) has a chronological list except this one?--Umbrella-White.pngThadeous OakleyUmbrella-White.png Talk 14:22, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

you mean the template? --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 14:25, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
yeah, the "in chronological order" one. Upon further inspection, Unaccepted has a chronological list without the template. --Umbrella-White.pngThadeous OakleyUmbrella-White.png Talk 14:28, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
Well add one then! --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 14:29, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
I fixed Unaccepted. I wasn't sure, thus why I asked. As for this one, well I can't back out now, but it's going to be fun figuring out the correct time order...--Umbrella-White.pngThadeous OakleyUmbrella-White.png Talk 14:34, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
No point. The sub sections list all the individuals, and the main is just an alphabetical list. Who can't work out your third bid came after your second?--RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 14:36, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
Yeah, that I can do, but the main one will also be chronological ordered just like the sub cats. I'll probably start with copying the template from Successful bids, since that's the largest one, and then manually check the dates on the other bids and enter them in the template.--Umbrella-White.pngThadeous OakleyUmbrella-White.png Talk 14:47, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
old project of mine, organising all promotions into a table so they could be sortable alphabetical, by date, or by result. Never bothered with it once I realised it probably wasn't worth the effort though. -- ϑanceϑanceevolution 23:47, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

thadeous oakley

Oh yay, now we get to have this discussion. Here's my piece: community is pretty divided, I am very surprised to note the gnomes being in support of mistergame en masse and the others mostly against, thought it would be a bit more opposite. Like earlier, personally I don't have a problem with promoting thadeous, he's demonstrated to the community the exact type of user he would be as an op and most of the regulars are more than happy with that. -- ϑanceϑanceevolution 05:44, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Let me go away and think about this. I have my concerns. As for that other thing you Emailed me about, I have no problem with you pursuing it, although I'm apathetic. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 12:13, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
Okay good. I didn't intend for help, just an opinion on it. -- ϑanceϑanceevolution 12:15, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
Actually, out of interest, how do you personally check to see if an IP is a proxy?? -- ϑanceϑanceevolution 12:15, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
IP Checker sites. There's also a couple of sites that set up pages and records IP's that are linked with spammers. Google in some cases. Technology is pretty easy. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 12:18, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
O.k. My concern is that Thads contributions to the wiki are wide but shallow. He gets involved with everything, but rarely takes a "leadership" role in creating stuff. His big project of the year appears to be a table listing promotion bids in order. If you compare his bid with say, the last successful bid, the support received is less, the community, is split. There are outstanding concerns. You want to promote him? Maybe. Convince me one way or the other. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 12:31, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
I'm indifferent either way, but I'd like to be assured your views are more a reflection of the communities' say than your personal opinion. As I've said on the bid, I'm personally not exactly convinced he'd make a reliable sysop but the vouches predominantly come from people like me who have seen Thad's whole portfolio from the start, and none of that seems to bother them.
Do I think promoting him under these circumstances is pretty crappy? Personally I think it is a bit. I think there tends to be a lowering of standard by the community, for a user who runs for the second or third time or so, and coming from a person that just did more for his second bid, I'm a bit disappointed by it but now I'm just being a bitch. I've seen users promoted with less support, and rejected with more support. Up to us and I don't mind either way but you have veto power if you feel it's within reason to use it, and unless its in extreme cases, I'll always be more than happy to respect it. As should Thad if he wants to maturely consider the position a possibility in the future. -- ϑanceϑanceevolution 12:58, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
Just to conclude because I realised I never actually made a decision. Essentially I'm for, but still, the above shit I wrote is very important in explaining my reasoning. -- ϑanceϑanceevolution 13:01, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
Hell, if it was my opinion I'd just flat out say no! I hate to say it, but some people's votes hold more weight with me than others. I'm swung very strongly be Spiderzeds vote, and much less so by C Whitty. And his answer to my final question about leadership could have well been replaced by a mudkip and been as useful. The sysop community is split, and if it wasn't for a few votes by people I think are amazing wikizens I feel we wouldn't be having this discussion. But anyway. Personally its a no from me, but a fair number of people want to give him a go. Frankly. (And its completely without precedent) I'd love to give him the position and re-evaluate his ass in three months. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 13:44, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
lol. We could always bully him into it. Really though I don't think it's entirely necessary. -- ϑanceϑanceevolution 23:28, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
Not that it's my place or anything but didn't you guys bitchslap Jerrel down for suggesting a shorter-term/differently-governed op position? For hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee 23:30, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
It's not. and it was probably for him being a retard -- ϑanceϑanceevolution 23:33, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
^This. So, I've raised some points. DDR. Promote or not? --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 19:52, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
You can force a re-evaluation through arbies, if he agrees to it.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 20:50, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
Perhaps, but Its not really resolving the issue. I'm personally against the bid, but I feel the community is split, whereas DDR thinks the community wants a yes, but is apathetic about actual promotion. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 20:54, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
Oh yeah, but it's completely beyond me to comment on that. I was merely stating that if you did want to enforce a shorter term (as you considered above), there was a way that you could enforce it.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 21:01, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
Arbitration is for dispute resolution, not for establishing contracts... As for the point ross, I still feel the same way about the promotion, the more active and central users of the community are generally the ones saying yes. -- ϑanceϑanceevolution 21:25, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
Ok. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 21:34, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

less indents.

So your final verdict? just to confirm. -- ϑanceϑanceevolution 21:42, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Hmm, I'm probably being too literal in my opposition, and at the end of the day it probably is my opposition. Hmm. Ok. With central support I'm not going to oppose the promotion, but I'm retaining my general Hmm position. So yeah. Promote as you see fit. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 21:53, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
Alrighty. Well I have to rush out now for some mobile phone shit so when I come back in a few hours if nothing's happened by then I'll deal with it. You're free to give a last minute point or veto or discussion etc if you feel its needed -- ϑanceϑanceevolution 00:25, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Borehamwood

Hello Rosslessness,

I hear all sorts of accusations about the borehamwood survivors and their zombie pets, I guess that the usual smoke and no fire rountine. I think any side that had a TAAK on it will get accused of zerging ;), thats probably the only influence he has had on the game.

Cheers
