RE:News Pages

You're doing it right. There's really no procedure. You just copy and paste the old news into the archive. That's pretty much all there is to it. As for time frames of archival, I suppose the best time would be once a month. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 20:05, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

None taken

I did say I was siding with you less, not completely siding with harrison. I guess you have to earn your place here a bit. I suppose it's because on a big, professional wiki like wikipedia, people come and go. On this wiki, people kinda build up relationships because of the small player base and drama that happens around here. At least, that's what I think. Anyway, if you have any more questions (or opinions), I'd be happy to hear them. The sysops are open to questions, too, as you can see from axe hack above. Think of this as my apology, explanation, welcome, and tips, all rolled into one. Have a nice stay on this wiki! -- †  talk ? f.u. 17:02, 18 January 2012 (UTC)

Since you seem to be so intent on helping out, you could help with UDWiki:Projects/Very Funny...or Not.

Admin Page Cycling

Hey sorry about the revert. I didn't realize immediately what you were up to. Thought you were just removing the vote since it had closed. We have a newish admin page cycle method which is outlined here. This method does preclude users without "teh buttons" from cycling things, however.

See some discussion here for the thought process behind going with this method. I'm glad to see someone taking the initiative, though. You're the only person, sysop or otherwise, besides myself and Axe hack that has shown any interest in it for more than a year now.

Since you've already done most of the work, we can just go with what you've done today for this month's archives. Thanks for the help. ~Vsig.png 23:55, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Good thing

...that someone has finally caught ye olde Misanthropy A/RE. Now if someone would do the same with ye olde promotion bids...

Speaking of which, sometimes between next week and in a month you will have reached the couple of months mark since your most recent bid. I still think you need to turn a bit more visible on the opinion pages to have a chance. A/RE and A/D are a good start, but most people are going to be most interested into your opinion on A/VB cases before they give you the power to rule there. Especially contested cases like Generaloberst (2) and (3) are good for talk page commenting. -- Spiderzed 15:25, 30 April 2012 (BST)

Thanks! I'll make sure to comment on those talk pages when controversial cases come up, but as I said before I don't really see a purpose when I don't have anything interesting or unique to contribute and those were pretty straightforward cases where I agreed with the majority rule. :P I'll think critically of cases as they come up.--Shortround }.{ My Contributions 15:27, 30 April 2012 (BST)
Oh wait, Oberst 2 was the really weird one wasn't it? Don't know how I feel about it. We have pretty clear case law against racism and it's TOS, so would have made sense for that to be vandalism. Commenting on a closed case after Karek told him not to is probably only soft warning territory.--Shortround }.{ My Contributions 15:32, 30 April 2012 (BST)
Case #2 might not be as clear and shut as you might think. Racism has been handled quite inconsistent in the past, as has been the handling of the TOS. We had escalations like this, this or this, but also soft warnings like this, and even unpunished moves like that.
As for A/VB commenting in general, it is generally expected that sys-op candidates show their stance towards and knowledge of the more sensitive wiki rules that might get users escalated - it is the power that needs to be executed most responsibly, and the one power most users are wary of before they grant the buttons to anyone. Vandal Banning and Misconduct commenting are just the best way to do that. -- Spiderzed 15:53, 30 April 2012 (BST)
When it comes to the cases you cited as going against the precedent: (1) The Misanthropy Case: There's a fairly large distinction between the two (although personally the Mis case kind of looks like vandalism). (2) The Cornholioo case was closed by Boxy with the following ruling: "I've given him a soft warning, any more of this on admin pages, and it's warning/ban time". Oberst 2 is the clear continuation of that behaviour (even if he wasn't Cornholioo he's made clear he was intimately familiar with Cornholioo's VB history. The two cases you cited make it clear that persistent behaviour is what gets punished and Oberst had done it consistently without a doubt.--Shortround }.{ My Contributions 16:00, 30 April 2012 (BST)

Our wall of victims speaks volumes. 1000 in under 7 months. And speaking from some experience, manhunting is a decidely survivor oriented sport for which the sun has already set.

Stationary is a plus with Organization XIII. We are, after all, what one would call a quadruple nature group. It's another plus that O13 is dedicating itself to make one specific area of Malton a constant back-and-forth warzone. One small highly contested area means more people drawn to the area, which means more chaos, and ultimately, more fun. 'Cause lets face it. What UD needs is a smaller playing area. More contest in one designated area means we've already succeeded. ;) --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 21:14, 3 May 2012 (BST)

OK, let's cut this short. Shortround, here's what you'll get from each group. FoD, CK, and Cobra, despite their differences, are more interested in their kill counts. O13, sure they're counting their kills as well, but as Malton's only side swapping group, their current theme is utilizing the side swapping methods to create confusion amongst survivor groups, a bit of "who's side are you really on?" thing. Completely different than AZDC in which they have a different theme each week. The Organization plays both sides for fools at the same time. Heck, AZDC technically bastardized the Organization's theme. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 18:14, 3 May 2012 (BST)

How is it a bastardization if it is completely different? AZDC is about embracing every aspect of the game and because we're selfish and want to play the game our own way. It couldn't be any more different from Org13. ~Vsig.png 19:43, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
It kinda is. Sure, AZDC is more random, but take away AZDC's randomness, and O13's ratio based style, the theme is not different. They're two groups sharing a theme (and in a few irc chat logs on my phone, Meeso did state they drew some inspiration from the concept of O13's ratio based play, so yes. AZDC is a basterdized O13). --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 19:50, 3 May 2012 (BST)

Also, the original Organization XIII was defeated in Kingdom Hearts 2, however, a new Organization XIII rises to power in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, which only has 3 of the original members.

Hack, if you thought so little of the FOD, why did you try to join us? Regardless, I don't see what all the fuss here is over a level 8 player. If he reaches level 10 and wants to roll with the FOD, he can go through the process and earn his place on the 'roster' like everyone else.

@hib: I don't think little of FoD, but it's quite obvious FoD is more focused on the quantity of it's kills (as is Cobra and CK, although Cobra, unlike CK and FoD, is a bit more casual, according to Kirsty Cotton, which is kinda true). Yea, sure, you've got a great theme and all, succeeding groups of old such as ASS, and sure, you've got achievements (although most groups have those as well), but it's not always about quantity. Quality counts too (one of your members PKing someone when they were lower than Lv10 seems a bit poor quality there, even if they did sport Fallen Saints tags. Of course then again, I trampled on that quality part a few times myself, but usually only when they were in the way towards something a bit bigger). I honestly don't care which group Shortround joins, but if we're gonna fight over him for recruitment purposes, of course I'll join in the fight. Ultimately, it's his choice. If he wants to take on large scale group strikes, he should join CK or FoD. If he doesn't want to travel, OrgXIII. If he just wants to casually kill for the hell of it, Cobra or Phobia. If he wants to fight for knowledge, Philosophe Knights. If he wants to party, Red Rum (or whatever the hell they're going by these days now that the RR tag is historical). The choices are almost endless. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 14:51, 4 May 2012 (BST)

There's also a value in being accessible, particularly if time is sensitive or the person isn't a wiki user. Aichon 18:00, 31 May 2012 (BST)
I cannot disagree with any of that. Head over shorty, and pick the brains of the guys there. Also, Im pretty sure Aichon has some excellent reading material for you. --Rosslessness 18:04, 31 May 2012 (BST)
I do? The only thing I've got is my So you want to be a sysop? guide. The end of it has a lot of valuable stuff that continues to apply after a person is a sysop, of course. Otherwise, I'd suggest he hit up your NOT so secret diary of a sysop, Ross. Aichon 18:36, 31 May 2012 (BST)
I might turn up in irc. I'm not much of an irc person and I only really come online for brief periods a lot of the time so we'll see. :) I'll definitely read through the guides though.--Shortround }.{ My Contributions 13:15, 1 June 2012 (BST)

NecroTechnicolor

Hi there Short. I was looking for an Executive Boating Safety Director for NecroTechnicolor. No need to produce an alt or anything, it's actually completely pointless. So, your thoughts? --Open the Box Org XIII Alts 04:23, 16 June 2012 (BST)

You definitely want in, Shortround. This is an opportunity you shouldn't pass up! Aichon 04:25, 16 June 2012 (BST)

Practically no obligation on your part. You would gain an executive parking spot and would officially be made of chocolate henceforth. --Open the Box Org XIII Alts 14:23, 16 June 2012 (BST)

Why did you protect this page again? --Karekmaps 2.0?! 07:26, 7 July 2012 (BST)

Derp. Must have been protecting the archive and accidentally bulked the main page as well. Feel free to misconduct me.--Shortround }.{ My Contributions 11:04, 7 July 2012 (BST)
If it were intentional, sure considering it was documented as an issue last time we tried to do something involving protection and subtemplate editing. If it were just a mistake during archival then nah. A/M is for judgement clause and SNOWBALL failures/misapplication. --Karekmaps 2.0?! 20:18, 8 July 2012 (BST)
I agree, which is why I didn't make a case myself. Just didn't want to demand that you didn't when I was technically in the wrong. :) --Shortround }.{ My Contributions 00:15, 9 July 2012 (BST)

Styx

Thought I might pointy out that the page you just added to the category "groups" might be misleading. I am pretty sure that "the band Styx" is a user page that corresponds to an in-game character of the same name who performs concerts throughout Malton. He is not a group ... though he plays one in UD. --Albert Schwan Albert Schwan  Tuesday, 14 August 2012

yes but for the purpose of in game context he is a group - it's just a group with only one member role-playing a larger group. The category seems sound to me but change it if you disagree.--Shortround }.{ My Contributions 17:54, 14 August 2012 (BST)

Implied Delete

The implication of deletion is based only on the fact that all the information is retained in the new merged location. You delete the house, because it's content has been moved to a new one. A page with 30 merge votes and no other votes for example, should be retained. --Rosslessness 17:02, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Like Move votes. You don't delete the old page until it's in the new location. --Karekmaps 2.0?! 21:05, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
Yes, but the number of delete votes outnumbered the number of merge votes, as I made quite clear. Ah well, whatever, it isn't that important. --Shortround }.{ My Contributions 21:20, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
It kind of is, but I know what you mean. It's an interesting point of view and one I haven't considered. Merge votes are magic, because they aren't actually about whether the page is kept or not, which is what we're supposed to be voting on. --Rosslessness 21:59, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

I was encouraged to use this account to post any comments/testimony on my behalf. Check my talk page and the vandal/banning page if you don't believe me. I'm not going to stoop so low as to beg you to reconsider your vote, but I assure you my case is special, you're uninformed, and if I'm not mistaken I have no qualms with you and in fact do not even know you.
