moving stuff

so, i hope you dont mind me moving things around in your new pet project. Its been some loooong time since i last saw something worth contributing here in the wiki that i kind of butted in there. Hope the changes were useful, though --hagnat 18:40, 18 July 2012 (BST)

Comment on my survivors list then you :P. You're one of the people old enough to actually remember them and their impact in the game, I could use more of that and less of "I'm from 2007". --Karekmaps 2.0?! 21:41, 18 July 2012 (BST)
will do, good sire. Its just a matter of me contributing as much as i can, in the short spasms of contributions i am able to (doing lots of overtime here at work, building new games and shit like that) --hagnat 21:56, 18 July 2012 (BST)
No problem. The only reason its in my namespace is the fact I think its a project that needs a referee. --RossWHO????ness 22:17, 18 July 2012 (BST)

I do worry about you. Hearing things on a text only website would be strange. --RossWHO????ness 21:08, 20 July 2012 (BST)
I was going to be all cool and make your page make a sound by including the BEL character, but apparently the wiki software catches it and displays it as  instead. Drat. Aichon 00:25, 21 July 2012 (BST)
The wiki is very stringent on fake characters, there was a time where it was a real problem. --Karekmaps 2.0?! 01:53, 21 July 2012 (BST)

Back In The Flesh

Just thought I'd say, I have returned, and so has my sister, http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/User:Alex_Yamata. We don't have great economy over here, lost power and internet for awhile without the money to get it back. Jerrack Malton Safe Zone Security 17:18, 22 July 2012 (BST)

So...

tl;dr ...I agree, Q2019 needs to establish an official game guide but not on wiki.
I don't want to discuss Q2019 in your suggestion's voting section. Q2019's game guide should've been developed years ago, and to my knowledge, there was a wiki or talk of a wiki (wiki discussion thread), and no one wanted a wiki like this wiki, so they chose a game guide instead which still lacks vital information (but there's a hidden "tools" page, must be logged in to see it). Anyway, I agree with you; a wiki is better than no wiki because players want/need game guides. But the system operators here are biased and act like U.S. Supreme Court justices. Sysops, moderators and administrators should be neutral and ignore their own personal opinions (no discretion!). So I don't know what a good balance for a wiki should be: moderator-only edits or player edits. I dislike the moderator-only wiki, but the game usually has a forum and in-game chatboxes for players to communicate, which still have to be moderated which requires man-hours. IRC sucks because it's player-moderated which leads to a lot of biased bans. I'm trying to tie this into why this wiki is looked down upon...but why it has been successful (for retrieving game-related information). -- Son of Sin 03:59, 2 August 2012 (BST)

You already have a game guide, it just needs to be, well finished. http://www.quarantine2019.com/game-guide/index.html could be really useful, but when even the 6 main topics don't all have pages, its not only frustrating, its also off putting to new players. So now you have forums. Forums attract a certain kind of person, whereas wikis attract another kind. The ease of a wiki, especially a huge one like this, is you can search for almost anything and find it without having to interact with anyone. Infighting on UDwiki is based off having several moderators, and its fair to say some of them historically have been terrible, grim s, thad etc, but I don't feel thats the case now, at least based off the levels of vandalism, misconduct and general drama we put up with these days. --RossWHO????ness 09:02, 2 August 2012 (BST)
If I may be so rude to interupt here: the current management of the wiki is better than I've seen on a lot of other wiki's. The only thing I'm really lacking sometimes are some restrictions, not when it comes to content, but when it comes to format: a lot of group pages are ridiculously empty, messy or consist of a single user starting up his own group, which tends to create some clusterfucks of category pages. I have been cleaning POV descriptions and nonsense out of location pages and I've seen People like Bob Moncrief, Vapor or Ross do some great work as well, but you always have to keep in mind that maintaining a wiki is very time consuming :) My idea? Have the Admin positions be filled by the people behind Q2019 and elect players after a while to Mod positions ;) -- Johnny Twotoes 13:54, 2 August 2012 (BST)

A wild Aichon preemptively answers your questions

Since it's your tradition to ask a question of sysop candidates, I figured I'd go ahead and preemptively answer it for fun. So, in response to any questions along the lines of, "What did you learn from your previous time as sysop?", "What do you think needs to be changed most on the wiki?", or "Why do you want to be a sysop?", my answer is "This place could really use a benevolent dictator." :P Aichon 03:18, 10 August 2012 (BST)Like.png 1 person likes this comment.

MU on brainstock

I'd link you now, but copy/paste is a pain on this tablet. Look for it at Malton Uprising#An invitation to all of Malton. MU also had a forum but accounts are no longer validated so you won't be able to access any info. Maybe DT or Hibernaculum or another PKer at the time can provide you details. I'll post links to those threads later when I get to a computer if you still need them. ~Vsig.png 17:39, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

You mean it just that thread? --RossWHO????ness 18:47, 11 August 2012 (BST)
No, but I beleive that's where DEM attempted to funnel most of the public discussion. I believe there was also a password protected thread on Brainstock where allies could discuss things. There are several backlinks to other areas of discussion in that thread as well. That's the thread in which they acknowledged the MU's manifesto and tried to respond to concerns. Some time later in the year, they made sweeping policy changes. They claimed it wasn't in direct response to MU's manifesto, but it isn't hard to put it all together. Some even claimed that Kristi stalled the policy changes until a time after MU ended so that no credit could be given to MU. ~Vsig.png 19:11, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
Got you. Seemed a bit sparse, I suspected as such. --RossWHO????ness 19:59, 11 August 2012 (BST)
There are multiple 50+ page threads of Brainstock and many smaller threads which spawned from the original thread, not to mention the threads discussing the DEM's alt/script policies which actually propelled the MU from a small PKing event to two-and-a-half month campaign. What you have to understand about the MU is that it had its roots in years of slow-burning resentment to various things the DEM did, and when finally someone gave all the resentful parties one single outlet to vent their frustrations, the drama llama fell in love, got married, bought a house with a white picket fence, and had a litter of baby dramallama's. But don't think that reading all those threads will give you any clear idea of what happened - it's all just the same old arguments over and over and over again. You want to know what really went down, ask me for read-only access to the MU forums. -DTPraise KnowledgePK 20:18, 11 August 2012 (BST)

Skull n syringes.gif

Some time back, by CRES Doctor noticed the The Big Prick was beginning to stagnate, leading him to put out a call for individuals interested in helping TBP move forward. I have volunteered my services to help this happen. In my humble opinion, the idea behind the formation of TBP was among the more unique in Malton's history. In its time, it broke up the monotony that was quickly setting in and gave adventurous individuals a chance to try something new. It also helped de-stigmatize people regarding combat revives and make Malton a place where those of dual nature could have a chance to explore their separate agendas. As many of these issues are not as large as they once were, it may seem we have reached a time when Malton no longer needs The Big Prick. I say, it's not all about being needed. Do you still enjoy reviving zombies? Is your first response at a break-in to check for brain rot? Mine is. Being a prick is not a job, it is part of who we are, and though it may not need us in the same way that it once did, with the rise of Apathy and the decline of survivor groups in Malton, the city cannot afford to lose the Big Prick. Accordingly, I have begun reworking some of the format of TBP pages including a retool of the main page and the introduction of and achievement system that will let pricks gain recognition on their own time on their own terms. As a person who still chooses to fly the colors of TBP, I would appreciate your feedback on my talk page or on the TBP forum. Thank you for your time and may your syringes never be blunted. --Albert Schwan Albert Schwan  Friday, 31 August 2012

Aww

You deleted/banned Z040zuz180, even after I nominated it for being archived.

Party pooper. -- TheBardofOld 04:47, 3 September 2012 (BST)

Congrats!

On the successful re-evaluation ;)--Nallan (Talk) 09:17, 7 September 2012 (BST)
