| | Bob Moncrief sent me your way. I'm looking at building a bot to prowl the Danger Reports and mark them as "unknown" after several months. I was thinking of using the API to pull page data and parse it to determine when it was last signed. It would also do the same for the MPMs every 5 days and mark them as 'old' or 'unknown' as needed. Bob didn't want to just give me the link to the API, and I don't blame him, but to talk with you about this. {{unsigned|Reimannsum|19:37, 5 January 2019 (UTC)}} |

| | :Sorry, but bots were never my area. From what I know, there isn’t a link to give you. Once you actually build a bot, a ‘crat can assign it bot permissions, but otherwise there’s not much more to it than Googling around to see how to actually build it. If [[User:Revenant|Revenant]] is around, he can probably point you in the direction of folks who have experience making bots. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 23:41, 5 January 2019 (UTC) |

| :I'm probably not the best person to ask, since I mostly just use all of my own scripts (except where noted otherwise), given that I was my own target audience for them, and the [[External_links#Greasemonkey_Scripts|userscripts section on the wiki]] was recently cleaned out of all the outdated ones that don't work, so it's pretty easy to glance through. I guess I would say [[User:Aichon/Userscripts#UDMap|UDMap]], [[User:Aichon/Userscripts#UD_A-GPS_Coordinates|A-GPS Coordinates]], and [[User:Aichon/Userscripts#UD_Item_Combiner.2C_Organizer.2C_and_Sorter|UDICOS]] at a minimum. If it were me, I'd also install [[User:Aichon/Userscripts#UD_Barrista|Barrista]], but some people either don't like it, can't get used to it, or can't use it with some other scripts, so your mileage may vary. After that, the rest of my scripts tend to become more about preferences and presenting information more clearly, and less about actually making the game easier to manage, but I'd also grab [[User:Aichon/Userscripts#UD_Building_State_Colorizer|Building State Colorizer]] and would suggest looking through my other ones to see if something stands out. Besides my own, the only ones I use are [http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/35289 UD BiggerSpeechBox] (and before Rev chimes in, I prefer his older version to the newer script that he claims replaces it), which makes the text boxes bigger so you can see more of what you're typing, and [http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/41836 UD Radio Accelerator], which saves you a single IP hit if you're re-tuning a radio. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 19:48, 20 September 2012 (BST) | | :Hah!

Technically savvy, Literate, Involved in groups on a regular basis, American, on good terms with Thad, the list is endless. Besides, as I always say, Crats do nothing. Interestingly the current RE bid suggests that people seem to want us to do more, but it's no different to being a sysop. I'd be interested to know what your impression of the position is.--[[User:Rosslessness|I'm not the Ross UDWiki needs, ]][[User talk:Rosslessness|I'm the Ross it deserves.]] 21:30, 20 September 2012 (BST)
| |
| :::::Regarding me being what you're not...I'm not so sure about your list. You and I tend to get lumped together somewhat often when the different types of sysops are compared. And I know they do next-to-nothing most of the time, but that's actually an argument for why I shouldn't run, since it means my presence or lack thereof in the seat would make no difference. And when those moments where the 'crats actually need to wave their 'crat badge and step into drama show up, I do not envy you guys at all, since I honestly believe that those are the most difficult and can be the most contentious decisions on the wiki, bar none.
| |
|
| |
|
| :::::As for my impression, if my stance is that sysops set the tone for the wiki, as I said in Karek's A/RE, I'd extend that to say that the 'crats are the ones that set the tone for the sysops. They may not have much to do, but they are in the unique position of being able to offer ''official'' criticisms of sysops outside of the context of A/M, which I think carries far more power than everyone else has realized, and their ability to veto or offer suggestions to candidates can allow them to steer the direction of the wiki in subtle ways that need to be carefully managed so as not to be abused. Generally speaking, 'crats should be stable, responsible, and impartial, I would say, since if any of those are missing at the top, the entire thing tends to fall over or apart. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 22:02, 20 September 2012 (BST)

| :::::::Sure. I've seen Thad lump us together a few times in the past, I know, and I'm pretty sure others have as well (can't recall what the basis was, however). As for what you said, I tend to agree that it can breed complacency, but I think the fact that A/BP is a vote acts as a natural balance for any complacency that might set in, just because it ''is'' so easy to oust a 'crat for pretty much any reason at all. And some new blood on the team would be a nice breath of fresh air, both for the added energy they bring as well as the new perspectives they would have.
| |
|
| |
|
| :::::::Speaking of which, I'd love to see a policy that would set a consecutive term limit on sysops, after which they'd be forced to take a break from being a sysop for at least a few months before running again. It'd force some turnover in the rank and would also give them a refresher on what it feels like to be on the outside looking in. I know that for me, after I had been out for a few weeks, I came to appreciate just how silly I had allowed myself to get in the way that I mentally approached different topics, and I told myself that if I were to ever get nominated again later I would do my best to be vigilant against ruling based on silly technicalities and minor failures to abide by bureaucracy. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 22:51, 20 September 2012 (BST)

It's easy to forget how easy to forget it can be why we do certain things and it's easy to assume bias over ignorance when you've got the keys and feel the need to know. I'd honestly prefer to see 'crat rollover limits over sysop ones if for no reason other than it's so easy to consistently have the same team as 'crats. Go with what you know always has some sway in votes, particularly when no one gives you a reason to really be upset with them as a 'crat most of the time.

I have had another player test too with the same problem. It's UD Same Character Highlighter. Sometimes with your scripts it's just a matter of changing the old references to http to https, but that didn't save me this time. Would be very handy to get Same Character Highlighter working for my group as we're zombies and it's a nightmare tracking who said what in-game as it just says "a zombie said". A full zombie name displayer would be even better, but I don't think there's a script for that? Thanks! {{unsigned|Ragno|10:59, 16 November 2023 (UTC)}} |

| | :Sorry for the super-slow response. It's been...a hectic few weeks. It's been a bit since I've been active in-game. Is Dumbwit or some other service that captures a snapshot of the game still around? If so, can you link me to a recent one that shows something like what you're talking about where a group of zombies is talking back and forth? Testing UD Same Character Highlighter was always tough because those messages disappear if you refresh the page, so I used to have a handful of iWits or Dumbwits around to help with testing it. |

My initial draft actually didn't have that in it, but I decided to add it specifically to avoid leaving you hanging since I knew you would want as much input as you could get. But the end decision ''was'' yours to make alone, regardless of my opinion on the matter, so there wasn't much any of us could do.

Anyway, boxy is great when he's around, and I'm sure he'll be back whenever he's done with whatever it is that has his attention. Also, the reason I didn't envy you on this A/RE was not because of the decision (it was obvious how the evaluation should go, I thought), but rather because it was landing solely on you, meaning that any flak that did come up would be yours alone to handle.

| |
| :On a technical level, they're just here to process stuff that's related to managing sysops, so that means things like handling promotions, processing re-evaluations, and handing out notices regarding inactivity. I'd also suggest that, as an elected position, there's an expectation that they'll put themselves aside a bit more in those particular duties than they might in their sysop-level duties. Essentially, however, they are here to perform administrative functions that sysops are not well-suited to perform.
| |
| :More generally, however, I would suggest that a 'crat is here to provide direction for the administrative team, as per some of the comments I offered [[#Anyway|up above]]. That's not to say that they should be pursuing a personal agenda to upset the wiki. Rather, they should be the ones challenging the team to treat everyone fairly, give things more careful thought, be more active in the community, and generally just be better sysops. They'll also use A/RE as an opportunity to provide correction and encouragement to the rest of the team.
| |
| :I also see the 'crats as being in the best position to shake things up. Because their position is an elected one, it's relatively easy for a new guard to unseat the old guard by using the 'crat elections, allowing them to bring in some fresh blood to the position and get someone at the top that's encouraging movement in new directions. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 22:38, 3 October 2012 (BST)

| |
| :No, it would not. Boxy's general state of inactivity is one of the primary reasons why I am running, so even if he does return for the elections (and I do hope he does), it doesn't change the fact that he has ''generally'' been spotty in his activity over the last several months, notably so with Karek's recent A/RE. I trust boxy to be an excellent sysop and 'crat when he's around, which is why I almost always vote for him, but I'm not sure that I can trust him to be around at the moment. The other reason I am running is that I am simply not as averse to taking on additional responsibility as I was in the past. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 22:38, 3 October 2012 (BST) | |

| |
| :::I'd certainly agree. I mentioned group dynamics, and I definitely think that applies to a game like this, where the amount of energy decreases as time goes on, meaning that less and less can get done until/unless you have an influx of fresh energy from a set of new players. And that ties in with what I was talking about with 'crats being the key position when a new group of players arrive. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 22:46, 3 October 2012 (BST)

| |
| ::Perhaps at some point in the future, but most of the metrics are qualitative, not quantitative, so decreased activity across the wiki is not yet a good excuse, in my mind, for lowering the bar on what it takes to be a sysop. If the wiki got to the point where very few people were sustaining 500 edits every 6 months, we could definitely reevaluate that rule, but otherwise I don't see any problems with the current rules, and they've always had a bit of leeway built in anyway. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 23:05, 3 October 2012 (BST)

As for "Aichon-fied"...umm...I'd probably choose a different colors, such as a brownish-beige for buildings and maybe purple instead of hot pink for NT facilities. I.e. Something more like the colors of the barricade plans. Other than that, I don't really see anything that stands out. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 23:05, 3 October 2012 (BST)

| '''Question''' If you win that grudge-match, do you think it is better for Ross to crawl around like a broken, soul-crushed pariah, vainly looking for a place to die, or should he be put down instead? -[[MHS|<span style="color: Black">'''MHS'''</span>]][[User_Talk:MHSstaff|<span style="color: DarkBlue">'''staff'''</span>]] 22:59, 3 October 2012 (BST)

| :::Agreed. I'm not sure I can vote for someone who won't either unarmed or using children's toys fight in some type of food. I expected more, Aichon. :P --[[Image:Kirsty_Cotton_Header.png|60px|Open the Box|link=User:Kirsty_cotton]] <sub>[[Organization_XIII|<span style="color: grey">Org XIII</span>]]</sub> <sup>[[User:Kirsty_cotton/alts|<span style="color: blue">Alts</span>]]</sup> 23:21, 3 October 2012 (BST)

| ::::Oh, is ''that'' what you meant? I thought you meant rock-em-sock-em robots made out of Jello, which utterly confused me. I'm perfectly fine with a bout of rock-em-sock-em while seated in Jello, provided we're talking about the colored stuff and not the pudding. Or at the very least, not Jello rice pudding. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 23:25, 3 October 2012 (BST)

| |
| ::::::It is, the new main page design I threw up and the Sidebar and, eventually, the Community Portal(which has a note on it's talk page too) are all somewhat related.

I'd look at it right now, but I'm always scared that I'll end up with a strong opinion that runs contrary to what everyone else is thinking, and I'm in no condition to argue something like that right now if that were the case. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 02:21, 14 October 2012 (BST)

| Roger that. Even though my intention was to try to get them to make a group page by giving them recognition. Heh. --{{User:Eagle of fire/signature}} 00:28, 15 October 2012 (BST)
| |
| :Yeah, it can be a bit of a chicken-and-the-egg type of problem sometimes, what with them not wanting to bother with a page since it's not linked, but being unable to link it because it doesn't exist. The rule is mostly there to ensure that there's always a designated way to contact groups who are on the wiki, otherwise we have run into all sorts of problems in the past, particularly when cleaning up those lists. If you can get them to put up a few lines about themselves though, that'd be awesome, and it definitely can't hurt them at all, I'd imagine. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 00:32, 15 October 2012 (BST)
| |
| :You can totally still do that by mentioning them in DangerReports and Yagoton Suburb news if that helps. --<small>[[User:Karek#K|Karek]]<sup><font face="Monotype Corsiva">[[User:Karek/ProjDev#Buildings_Update_Danger_Maps|maps 2.0?!]]</font></sup></small> 01:54, 15 October 2012 (BST)

| ::Yeah, I hear ya both. I actually did it at the same time in the group section in [[Yagoton]] page as well as on [[The Abandoned]] group page. Even then it is a long shot... The group is actually pretty active (I can see it every day) but they don't bother registering to our forums nor to they bother with the Wiki. I don't think they are caring much unfortunately. And since many of their members have similar names it is easy to think about zerging. I was actually hoping they'd get here so we can clear that out too. --{{User:Eagle of fire/signature}} 02:46, 15 October 2012 (BST)

| ==cheers and glad==
| |
| glad someone noticed i placed some suggestions though im not a newbie at forms like this just very forget >>
| |
| lolz and used to play urbandead just getting back into swing of it i played about 4 to 5 years ago ( character has ironicly vanished)
| |
| btw what do you think of the other suggestions i have quite a few buzzing in my head but just cant get them down on paper
| |
| i do think that the hand weapons like bats should have a higher hit ratio
| |
| seems a shame that everyone goes more for a knife --[[User:Heheevilme|Heheevilme]] 16:14, 17 October 2012 (BST)
| |
| :Well, the food suggestion has been brought up before, so it's unlikely to get much traction this time around, and the ability to pass items from one character to another is, as the others already pointed out, something that could be pretty badly abused by zergers. As for makeshift weapons, the idea is interesting, but I'd have to do the math on it before I could throw my support behind it. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 16:32, 17 October 2012 (BST)
| |
| ::understandable that everyone needs time to think over it makeshift weapons idea came to me in a few games ive played over the years and though why not suggest it the idea is basically rough though any way you could improve it would be great as i am not all to similar with games ratio --[[User:Heheevilme|Heheevilme]] 17:29, 17 October 2012 (BST)

| There are no guides to being a crat. I'd suggest reading Grims misconduct archive and ''do the opposite''.

| |
| :Also Congrats Aichon. While I'm fearful this added responsibility ''might'' burn you our earlier than being a simple sysop, hopefully it won't affect you!

| |
| ::Burn out is, for me, a combination of becoming more jaded than I would like and lacking as much interest in the game. For now, my interest is pretty steady. As for the other factor, I doubt being a Bureaucrat will have much of an effect on it either way. If it does though, then I'll wait for my term to be up before fading away for awhile, just like I did last time. :P {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 02:15, 22 October 2012 (BST)
