Talk to me here, in this section.

I think you are really cool. -- Atticus Rex mfu pif Δ 04:35, 18 May 2007 (BST)

Hey, thanks for your input with the tracking device suggestion.... I think it could work now, great idea!--Seventythree 12:28, 7 May 2007 (BST)

Striking a vote

The simplest way is to to it like this:

  1. struck vote
  2. unstruck vote

Which comes from: 

#  <s>struck vote</s>
#  unstruck vote

The count gets off by one, but the person who tallies the votes can easily correct for that. --Seb_Wiers Imagine 01:00, 30 May 2007 (BST)

Thanks. I think my problem was that i put the <s> tag before the # sign, which was causing the list to start over from 1. --Uncle Bill 05:08, 30 May 2007 (BST)
I've done exactly that myself, with the same problem resulting. --Seb_Wiers Imagine 12:21, 30 May 2007 (BST)
No, when you strike your vote, correct the numbering as you go by doing #: to it....
# unstruck vote
#: <s>struck vote</s>
# unstruck vote
Which comes out
  1. unstruck vote
    struck vote
  2. unstruck vote

User:NTstatus/Stanbury Village

I saw your nic entry when i went to update that page. I was over at the Moseley Building, and its in grave danger- 15+ zombies outside. VeM isn't set up to deal with such things and I'm on my way to a different job anyhow, but I figured DEM might have the manpower in the area to keep the place safe, and would apreciate the heads up. --Sebff2 Vita ex Mors <noinlcude></noinclude>~~~~~<noinclude></noinclude>

Not to worry. Moseley looks that way because it's a brain rot revive clinic. Under normal circumstances, the building is supposed to be wide open and powered. The group running the clinic is called Rotter's Relief, and you can find a link to their forum on my user page (under links). They will suspend operations if Nichols Mall or Went NT are under siege or if Moseley itself is being continually ransacked. The goal is to have a building that can be used freely as both a revive clinic AND a place to find syringes. The barricade plan for Stanbury Village has a section explaining it's unique status and whether the current barricade plan is open or EHB. I hope that clears things up a bit. --Uncle Bill 01:39, 29 May 2007 (BST)
Huh, the zombies I revived did NOT have brain rot. One of them in fact attacked me before I even started barricading, and all the survivors inside were wounded and infected. I know rot revive clinics get a bit rough though. I updated nic to note the place is a RR clinic, and I think I will create a special NT map status legend for such places, too. Should help make them easier to find, and easier to avoid mistaking for normal NT's. Do they get a special listing on the List of Revive points? --Sebff2 Vita ex Mors <noinlcude></noinclude>~~~~~<noinclude></noinclude>

New Suggestions Pages

Hi uncy bill, I see you had a bit of trouble making the page. Did you follow these instructions?

  • Place the following code to the bottom of the Current Days Suggestions, replacing "SUGGESTION NAME" with the name of your suggestion.
    {{Subst:NewSug|SUGGESTION NAME}}
  • There is no need to include the date, or to sign, the template will do all that for you.
  • Once you have added the template, it will produce a link to your new suggestion page. Follow the link, and add the {{SugHead}} template to the page, and press preview. Then follow the instructions it will give you.

You seem to have gone alright, up to copying {{SugHead}} onto your new page. Doing that, and hitting "preview" will bring up the instructions for what to put on the page to get the suggestion, and other templates needed for voting. It was easy to fix up, but please let me know what went wrong... if you couldn't work it out, plenty of others will have trouble too -- boxy T L ZS Nuts2U DA 04:10, 20 April 2007 (BST)

Revivification Points

Add your RP to the List of Revivification Points here on the wiki. The database of RPs, their status and the group(s) responsible for them are updated automatically from that list every night. ... You know you could also have just asked on the forum, as we maintain the database, right Cpt. Bill? ;) --Gilant talk-DEM 15:22, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Rascist?

Bill. Although my suggestion (Burning Crucifix) is tasteless, it is not of itself rascist and I resent your implication. I am black. The suggestion is most certainly anti-christian and anti-religion e.g. flames lick the base of the cross(pornographic connotation). What if I had added that it does not cost Irishmen extra AP to piss on the cross? Would that have further stoked your indignant response? Does any image of a burning cross imply rascist intent? BTW. I am not black, but said so to make a point. If you had known the suggestion was made by a black man, would you still have considered the suggestion rascist? If not, then you are the rascist. --SporeSore 15:18, 3 April 2007 (BST)

RE: You know, it doesn't really matter who you are. Burning crosses are just plain tasteless and have no place in UD or anywhere else. For the record, I don't hold this against you, I know you meant it as a joke.... I just don't find the humor in something like that. --Uncle Bill 23:56, 3 April 2007 (BST)
RE: Then please remove your comment calling me a racist, perhaps replacing it with your comment above or another indicating that I am a village idiot. On second thought, better not call me a village idiot as that would be prejudiced against the intellectually challenged and their history being abused. Call me an asshat. That is fairly PC, not too rude and generally to the point. --SporeSore 13:56, 4 April 2007 (BST)

Baseball Bat suggestion

The one you voted on yesterday, the guy clarified what he meant- so, please, change your spam vote.  Nalikill  TALK  E!  W!  M!  USAI  04:49, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

I still haven't seen where he clarified it or what he wanted to change it to. Once I see that (or you kindly point it out to me) I'll gladly change from SPAM to something else. But remember, he has yet to RE my spam vote, and I didn't see anything in the way of clarification on the discussion page. --Uncle Bill 05:46, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Mistaken Identity

Are you Bill Hart from North Carolina? --Fat Albert 07:30, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Nope. I'm from Washington and the name "Uncle Bill" comes from an old obscure song about a firefighter who goes to hell but is okay because he puts out fires. That and my wife has an uncle named Bill. North Carolina is nice though. --Uncle Bill 07:36, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Free Calling and Charge

Hey Uncle Bill, I put the suggestion up to voting. So far it has 14 keeps, 0 kills (had 1 kill but the guy struck it and he may be changing his mind to keep now). Someone suggested that I also have a message when the phone dies which says This phone has died - it needs to be recharged to be operational again. or something along those lines. In your opinion, should I just add that into the suggestion now or not bother, since it's sort of a given that the phone would give some sort of notice that it's died? Oh and looking forward to your Keep vote :) --Tselita 21:45, 10 April 2008 (BST)

If it's already up for voting, whatever you do - DON'T CHANGE IT NOW!!! When you edit it after voting has started, the whole thing can get thrown out. I'm going to go vote KEEP now. --Uncle Bill 05:03, 11 April 2008 (BST)
okay :) It's a moot point anyway. I'm pretty sure that if Kevan was to implement this, it would be natural to have some sort of notification that the phone had run out of battery charge. --Tselita 05:17, 11 April 2008 (BST)
