We miss you, we hope you miss us. Scothcrates[bot] hasn't slept at night since you disappeared to play with the squishies. Zombies do it better! --{{User:RenegadeRomero/Sig}} 03:03, 20 July 2013 (BST)
: Shhh, I miss you guys -- especially those of you behind each shambler of BB4, along with all the silly jokes, feasting, and what not. I thought robots didn't need to sleep, although I figure they could use resets from time to time. While I've been using my survivor and dual nature alt, I've been much more active with a career zombie in another area of the map, which is in a group whose strike times are much more convenient for me (I've yet to miss one, haha.) I have already been familiar with these people for longer than I was with BB4; there is something enjoyable about being part of a relatively small, closely-knit group -- it feels like family.
: By no means is this personal in a negative sense; you guys are great, but I'm a bit shy about many things, and as such, I am still quite inhibited within the BB4 channel, and all the more so on barhah.com.
: There is nothing personal about it, and if only there were no alt conflicts, I might have stuck around in the BB4 channel. Alas, I am an On the other hand, I really enjoyed my time with BB4, although I also thought it would be fun to try playing on the other side of the barricades from time to time; I've never really played much as a survivor defending against a the bash. Thanks to all of you for bringing something fun for everyone, and I hope you guys are enjoying, as well!

:: I'm sure I speak for most of us when I say we understand.  But if circumstances (or your sleep schedule) ever change, do consider dropping by the IRC.  If nothing else, do it for Bosch's sake: he puts on a good show in public, but get him alone and he's heartbroken.  During strikes, he just won't stop sobbing. ...Frankly, it's becoming rather uncomfortable.

== Hello thar. ==
Not at all Haru, it brings a smile to see my old handiwork still being passed around. Surprised it can still be traced back to me, most records of my wikiwork on building pages and maps was purged in that big history wipe. And though I've hung up my wiki hat, I still check up on the pages I used to manage to see how things  are going on. I guess it has been a while since my last edits, after leaving my periodic K-Bank EMR update project. [[User:BigJD|JD]] 04:50, 20 July 2013 (BST)
: Well, it's not like I read [[User_talk:Poodle_of_doom|PoD's talk page]] as comic relief sometimes! That's the only way I even found out that you made such a flagbox for the KT! It's a shame to find that there was a history wipe on here too, I was always wondering what ever happened to a bunch of old group pages.

I've been playing this game not-very-consistently-until-very-recently for 4 years, and I knew not of this!) This is not quite the end, but rather, a new beginning. I look forward to seeing you all again, though I had been unable to keep up with the pace of BB4, which is why I dropped off, in favour of a career zed which participates in real-time strikes almost every day. --{{User:Chirurgien/GekaiSig}} 12:43, 5 August 2013 (BST)

Hi Chirurgien! Thanks so much for volunteering to help out with the [[GSGM 2013|2013 Great Suburb Group Massacre]]! We are currently in the process of collecting and organizing the information on what groups are listed in what suburbs, and the radio frequency listings. This phase of the project should last until roughly October 1st, so feel free to head over to the [[The Great Suburb Group Massacre/2013/Volunteer Organization|Volunteer Organization page]] anytime to help out. And thanks again! {{User:Bob Moncrief/Sig}} 21:26, 12 September 2013 (BST)

Hello Chirurgien, and thanks again for volunteering to help out with the [[GSGM 2013]]! The main phase of this year's GSGM is just beginning, which means there are [[The Great Suburb Group Massacre/2013/Volunteer Organization#Current tasks|a number of tasks]] for volunteers to help out with. These include adding information to suburb News sections and contacting groups on their talk pages, as well as some other items. Feel free to check out [[The Great Suburb Group Massacre/2013/Volunteer Organization|our volunteer page]] for all the details. Have a great day! {{User:Bob Moncrief/Sig}} 13:54, 19 October 2013 (BST)

::No, there's no limit on how many groups you can contact. One note though - please ''don't'' list the suburbs and/or radio frequency in the message! Part of the GSGM is the groups themselves need to list the suburbs & frequency they use in their response, and telling them beforehand helps them unfairly and may bias the results.

== Speak/Graffiti ==
Is there away to implement the speak/graffiti functions in custom-made in-game Urban Dead templates?
I'm merely trying to replicate the current in-game visuals as much as possible.
If you want to check it out: [[User:TheBardofOld/Randomosity/Sandbox/Project1|Linkage]]. I could use feedback.
Thanks!--{{User:TheBardofOld/Sig}} 18:00, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
:Hello there! I believe the go-to person for this would be [[User:A Helpful Little Gnome]], who created the UDGame templates, if you are referring to the template AHLG uses (which I <s>stole</s> borrowed.) By function, are you referring to the speak/graffiti buttons, or just a "simulation" of such? Iirc, it's not quite possible to make the speak/graffiti functions truly "interactive" (i.e. the player can't spray/have custom graffiti), but you can do something akin to {{UDAction2|Say "This is a sample sentence."}} or {{UDAction2|Spray "a sample message" onto the wall}}, then modify the "in-game description" on the next page, to reflect such a change. It's a limitation of the wiki software on its own, unless there is a way to automate the appending of such edits. I've been seeing your custom regions even back last year, and I have to say that I hope to see it in fruition eventually! (Sorry if I'm saying anything silly; it's 2 AM where I live and I... am direly in need of sleep.) I'll try to give you some feedback when I awake later; good luck! --{{User:Chirurgien/Signature2.2}} 18:21, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
::Such quick response! Thank you! I was afraid that that was the case, but thank you for the suggestion. That'll have to do, unfortunately, but again, thank you.
::And thank you for the feedback, too! I have so many ideas on how to revamp Urban Dead for the masses, like myself, who love and adore this low-graphics MMO with an entirely-new region, TONS of new locations, and things to do. Alas, I'm only like 7% done with the "suburb" creation. Need to figure out a way for randomized location and street name creation. Even with a limitless imagination, I don't want to be creating 30 suburbs, buildings, or streets with the same name. :D --{{User:TheBardofOld/Sig}} 18:27, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

Hey, I was just going through the recruitment ads to do some cleaning and maintenance, and it looks like one of the ads you maintain has an image that is a larger file size than is allowed for the recruitment page.

:Good day! My apologies for the delayed response; I haven't been checking the wiki much as of late.

Of course Chirurgien is a Wiki n00b.

Feel free to admonish or reprimand this user against any violations accrued. You know you want to.

This is where you perform such action.

I shake my fist at you. I don't know why but your talk page makes me feel compelled to do so. Strength is just an accident arising from the weakness of others

I am very much honoured, good sir. -- Chirurgien  (talk 22:25, 4 August 2010 (BST)

Your sig is broke

See? You've got a space in it wrong. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 10:43, 31 August 2010 (BST)

Didn't catch that. Thank you very much, will fix. -- Chirurgien  (talk

NWO

Hello, I'd like to invite you to join my group NWO if you're interested or have questions give me a shout(: -.- 16:01, 22 April 2013 (BST)

Hello there! I've been lurking around group pages lately, and was rather interested in joining the NWO at one point (especially since it's an all-play-styles group. My main survivor character is currently affiliated with another group, but I may consider letting my currently inactive alt join, if I so gain consent from my current group. Might I know where exactly the NWO is concentrated? If there are any NWO operations in the southeast of the map, I may be unable to join, due to my main being primarily active in that area. Thank you very much! -- Chirurgien  (talk 08:39, 24 April 2013 (BST)
Scratch that. I'll have to consider it very carefully, as I don't really think I'll have the time for another character. Thank you very much, and good luck recruiting, nonetheless. -- Chirurgien  (talk 09:14, 24 April 2013 (BST)

That's fine by me(: Our doors will always be open to everyone. -.- 00:33, 29 April 2013 (BST)

IP Ban

Hey Chirurgien, I have noticed you comment about your IP ban over here and investigated. The IP adress given in the screenshot isn't listed at all in our blocklist, so sys-ops can do nothing about it. The source of your problem must be that your IP is blocked by the DNSBL on Kevan's end, which he implemented a year ago. The only thing you can do about it is to take it directly to Kevan. -- Spiderzed 17:42, 28 April 2013 (BST)

Thank you very much for the heads up. That definitely explains it; apparently, our IP range is in at least one spam blacklist, for Jove knows what. As long as the DNSBL isn't going to prevent me from making edits, I suppose I'll be fine. He only really needed to make a Wiki account to correspond with Tikhon Medical here, after all. -- Chirurgien  (talk 17:58, 28 April 2013 (BST)
www.dnsbl.info is where you can check if your IP is on the blacklist. Click the button up top to run the check. Not sure if Kevan will be able to help. You may just need to work to get your IP off the blacklist. Good luck. ~Vsig.png 00:27, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
Thanks as well for this link. When I checked, the IP range is blacklisted from only one of those sites, but our specific IP isn't. There are apparently a lot of spam reports against our ISP. There's an express removal button in some levels, but it had already been apparently abused in other levels. Oh well, time to look for a better provider. -- Chirurgien  (talk 06:11, 29 April 2013 (BST)

Thank you!

Globe.jpg Cartographer's Gratitude
I would like to personally thank you for updating Danger Reports, you're having a bigger influence than you realize! PB&J
Whoa, thank you as well! I know I don't update that many of them, though I made Anghel Rojo almost exclusively for the purpose of checking on buildings and updating their statuses! On another note, I'm not sure if it's intentional, but your Wiki signature seems to be semi-broke in that template (the "T" part, might be my broswer, though.) The template also reads "grattitude" instead of "gratitude". I mean no offense by this, and if somehow, my tone is rude, I apologize in advance for it. I just arrived from work and am rather groggy. --Accipere quam facere praestat injuriam. [ talk ] [ KT ] [ BB4 ] 10:28, 29 May 2013 (BST)
I made it last night, which means I was groggy myself, I'll fix it asap ;) See you around! PB&J 10:33, 29 May 2013 (BST)
No worries about that, and take your time. :) Keep up with your amazing work with unstubbing location pages, as well. I've been reading some of your edits, and all I could say is "WHOA." --Accipere quam facere praestat injuriam. [ talk ] [ KT ] [ BB4 ] 10:36, 29 May 2013 (BST)
It's kind of a fun job, collecting all the info and then weaving your own little story around it :) I also take pride in regularly maintaining my list of unstubbed locations. You should try it sometime! PB&J 10:40, 29 May 2013 (BST)

We seem to share the same train of thoughts on these things, so I'm wondering, are you up for a little project? :) PB&J 11:16, 29 May 2013 (BST)

My lurking brought me to that list of yours; it's how I found out about it, after all. Sure, why not -- what would this project entail, by any chance? --Accipere quam facere praestat injuriam. [ talk ] [ KT ] [ BB4 ] 11:17, 29 May 2013 (BST)
A redesign of the suburb page, with a better lay-out, a designated and welldesigned place for groups to display their local efforts and more elements that update and change semi-automatically (like the danger center does). This should make those pages, essential to any real UD player, more attractive and helpful :) PB&J 11:23, 29 May 2013 (BST)
That's an excellent idea. My grasp of wikicode is very limited at best, however, but I think a revamp of the suburb pages wouldn't hurt! As it currently stands right now, a lot of those pages are rather messy, even with the group/frequency massacres. There's something about the suburb page setup that feels a bit like a chore to sift through. Probably more pertinent information (such as the danger status indicator for that suburb, along with TRPs) can be placed on the top, with active groups directly below it. "History" and other snippets may follow. Perhaps I can make a mock-up of this, or maybe discussion with currently active wiki users can be made as well, to reach a referendum. I apologize if anything I have stated is moot, at this point.
Nonetheless, I am very glad that such efforts in updating statuses are still appreciated; like the other person who sent you a message on your talk page, I was worried that it was a silly undertaking. :) --Accipere quam facere praestat injuriam. [ talk ] [ KT ] [ BB4 ] 11:28, 29 May 2013 (BST)
Those all seem like good ideas :) I think we should make a list of what to accomplish (I'll make a project page in a minute), then decide on a certain look and start making the different elements. Beware, this won't be a quick little fix or update, if a couple of my ideas work out, we'll have to custom build some stuff for each of the 100 suburbs ;) PB&J 11:37, 29 May 2013 (BST)
Agreed on all those, and I understand that it wouldn't be very easy. It'd be a good excus... er, exercise in learning wikicode, if ever a lot of templates/mechanisms will have to be custom-built. I had a hunch that this would require a fair-sized overhaul. I'll be looking forward to finding the project page on Recent Changes! --Accipere quam facere praestat injuriam.

A wild project page appears! PB&J 11:54, 29 May 2013 (BST)
I added a first, short list of what I want the new burb pages to be, feel free to add to it. I'll be back later. PB&J 12:08, 29 May 2013 (BST)
Brilliant! I just returned from taking my supper before I started adding to the page, but the edit should have been sent to the server by now. My apologies if it seems like I'm just reiterating what you have already said; I'll try to figure out if I can make a few "live" mock-ups, if so possible. --Accipere quam facere praestat injuriam. [ talk ] [ KT ] [ BB4 ] 13:45, 29 May 2013 (BST)
Hold the mockups for a later stage, first we need to decide what goes and what will be added, and if so, where we're going to put it ;) And don't worry about repetition, it just means we're on the same trach, and that's a good thing :) PB&J 14:04, 29 May 2013 (BST)
The ideas are looking great :) Just thinking ahead, but should we directly involve the groups active in a suburb in its overall design? PB&J 14:40, 29 May 2013 (BST)
I'll hold the mockups as well, at least until there's a general "skeleton" that the consensus/majority concurs with. There is always room for polishing those ideas. :) There's no problem with thinking ahead! I like the idea of involving the active groups into the redesign as well, but I'm not too certain how many people from groups that are active in-game still utilize the UDWiki. Nonetheless, the more people who can give their input into this, the better it will be for everyone! Someone may be able to raise something everyone else had overlooked. --Accipere quam facere praestat injuriam. [ talk ] [ KT ] [ BB4 ] 15:05, 29 May 2013 (BST)
I'm a bit hesitant in involving too many people in every detail of the process though, in the end the really great projects (be it on the wiki, like the Danger Center, or ingame, like BB4) are carried by a small number of people. But suburbs like Ridleybank and Dunell Hills should reflect at least a bit on their inhabitants, no? PB&J 15:07, 29 May 2013 (BST)
I definitely see what you mean by not involving too many people, but yes, I was referring mainly to suburbs of great notoriety, such as Greater Ridleybank and Dunell Hills, since those particular two may benefit from having its residents have even just a bit of a say about what goes into their respective suburbs' pages -- you know, to prevent some possible Wikidrama and all from some things being left out. Admittedly, I'm out of the loop with those two suburbs, so I'm a bit at a loss with this one. (Pardon, my brain is slowly getting fried, as the night deepens. :D) --Accipere quam facere praestat injuriam. [ talk ] [ KT ] [ BB4 ] 15:16, 29 May 2013 (BST)

Time to reset to this side :P Night? It's 4.30 pm here :) The RRF will be glad to help I think (particularly since I'm a member :P ), the DHPD, Yagoton Revive Clinic and Quartly Library Study Group should be on board as well with stuff like this :) PB&J 15:19, 29 May 2013 (BST)

Yes, it's 10:25 in the evening where I am. It was getting cramped on the other end, so I thank you for the "visual breath" of fresh air. That would be great, especially re: the RRF. I'll probably be thinking of other suggestions for the suburb pages after work tomorrow, hopefully. --Accipere quam facere praestat injuriam. [ talk ] [ KT ] [ BB4 ] 15:29, 29 May 2013 (BST)

Search Rates

Would you also be so kind to add your search rates to this list? I'm trying to update the drop rates, and I'm aiming for at least 2.000 searches in each building type :) PB&J 19:49, 29 May 2013 (BST)

I have no qualms with that! I've been keeping a small log of my searches as of yesterday, but it's been as vague as "found one pistol clip with 8 AP." I'll try to be a bit more attentive and specific, this time. --Accipere quam facere praestat injuriam. [ talk ] [ KT ] [ BB4 ] 23:46, 29 May 2013 (BST)
Thanks! If you don't have the time to update the tally and percentage as well, just leave the previous signature there ;) PB&J 08:31, 30 May 2013 (BST)
Whoops, my apologies for that -- didn't intend to omit any signatures! I only recall there being a timestamp on the tally and percentage rows, though. I've updated the percentages as well for the hospital sub-section (as I had added some data), but I'll also be doing the same for the PD section shortly! --Accipere quam facere praestat injuriam.

The UD Wiki

Greetings,Chirurgien!
Impressive wonderful Wiki activity.
Congratulations abd keep it up!

Concerned'Citizen 03:58, 4 June 2013 (BST)

Hey, thank you very much! This comes as a surprise, as I wasn't too certain that there were any people apart from the older veterans of the game who still utilized the wiki! --Accipere quam facere praestat injuriam. [ talk ] [ KT ] [ BB4 ] 05:20, 4 June 2013 (BST)

File linking

Hey Chirurgien, I deleted the files in your speedy delete request, but I noticed your difficulty with linking to a file. To do so, link like a regular article, except put a colon ( : ) in between the opening [[ and the word "File". So, to create a link to File:Duckling01.jpg, just type

[[:File:Duckling01.jpg]]

The same goes for categories: [[:Category:Recruitment]] will link to Category:Recruitment. Hope that helps! Bob Moncrief EBDW! 20:24, 8 June 2013 (BST)

Thank you, on all counts! This is definitely useful; I always wondered how people made regular links to files and categories around the wiki. --Accipere quam facere praestat injuriam. [ talk ] [ KT ] [ BB4 ] 20:42, 8 June 2013 (BST)

We miss you, we hope you miss us. Scothcrates[bot] hasn't slept at night since you disappeared to play with the squishies. Zombies do it better! --BOSCH 03:03, 20 July 2013 (BST)

Shhh, I miss you guys -- especially those of you behind each shambler of BB4, along with all the silly jokes, feasting, and what not. I thought robots didn't need to sleep, although I figure they could use resets from time to time. While I've been using my survivor and dual nature alt, I've been much more active with a career zombie in another area of the map, which is in a group whose strike times are much more convenient for me (I've yet to miss one, haha.) I have already been familiar with these people for longer than I was with BB4; there is something enjoyable about being part of a relatively small, closely-knit group -- it feels like family.
By no means is this personal in a negative sense; you guys are great, but I'm a bit shy about many things, and as such, I am still quite inhibited within the BB4 channel, and all the more so on barhah.com.
There is nothing personal about it, and if only there were no alt conflicts, I might have stuck around in the BB4 channel. Alas, I am an On the other hand, I really enjoyed my time with BB4, although I also thought it would be fun to try playing on the other side of the barricades from time to time; I've never really played much as a survivor defending against a the bash. Thanks to all of you for bringing something fun for everyone, and I hope you guys are enjoying, as well!

I'm sure I speak for most of us when I say we understand. But if circumstances (or your sleep schedule) ever change, do consider dropping by the IRC. If nothing else, do it for Bosch's sake: he puts on a good show in public, but get him alone and he's heartbroken. During strikes, he just won't stop sobbing. ...Frankly, it's becoming rather uncomfortable. Paul Leahy 01:20, 24 July 2013 (BST)

Hello thar.

Not at all Haru, it brings a smile to see my old handiwork still being passed around. Surprised it can still be traced back to me, most records of my wikiwork on building pages and maps was purged in that big history wipe. And though I've hung up my wiki hat, I still check up on the pages I used to manage to see how things are going on. I guess it has been a while since my last edits, after leaving my periodic K-Bank EMR update project. JD 04:50, 20 July 2013 (BST)

Well, it's not like I read PoD's talk page as comic relief sometimes! That's the only way I even found out that you made such a flagbox for the KT! It's a shame to find that there was a history wipe on here too, I was always wondering what ever happened to a bunch of old group pages.
Still, I am happy to still see you around! Thanks again for everything! --「全ては優美である。」!Pattee.png 01:21, 21 July 2013 (BST)

Thank you for clearing that up! I wasn't quite sure if there was an actual term for that (for shame! I've been playing this game not-very-consistently-until-very-recently for 4 years, and I knew not of this!) This is not quite the end, but rather, a new beginning. I look forward to seeing you all again, though I had been unable to keep up with the pace of BB4, which is why I dropped off, in favour of a career zed which participates in real-time strikes almost every day. --「全ては優美である。」!Pattee.png 12:43, 5 August 2013 (BST)

I still go on the NexusWar IRC server sometimes (the one where the #BB4 channel is located,) although I have not been in the BB4 channel in a while, due to alt conflicts and conflicts of interest (I still play a career zombie, albeit not with BB4 -- and one of my alts was involved with the "Malton Resistance", as well.)

I think it was Tara Reed who took my skull-shaped bowl, for one. That's the thing that makes my cakes taste great. I'd appreciate greatly if this can be retrieved from her, filled to the brim with her own blood.

GSGM Volunteering

Hi Chirurgien! Thanks so much for volunteering to help out with the 2013 Great Suburb Group Massacre! We are currently in the process of collecting and organizing the information on what groups are listed in what suburbs, and the radio frequency listings. This phase of the project should last until roughly October 1st, so feel free to head over to the Volunteer Organization page anytime to help out. And thanks again! Bob Moncrief EBDW! 21:26, 12 September 2013 (BST)

GSGM Update

Hello Chirurgien, and thanks again for volunteering to help out with the GSGM 2013! The main phase of this year's GSGM is just beginning, which means there are a number of tasks for volunteers to help out with. These include adding information to suburb News sections and contacting groups on their talk pages, as well as some other items. Feel free to check out our volunteer page for all the details. Have a great day! Bob Moncrief EBDW! 13:54, 19 October 2013 (BST)

I was not in the best of health for a few days IRL, so I haven't been able to check the wiki much, but thank you for the reminder! Is there a limit as to how many times a day we can contact groups? --「全ては優美である。」!Pattee.png 21:09, 21 October 2013 (BST)
No, there's no limit on how many groups you can contact. One note though - please don't list the suburbs and/or radio frequency in the message! Part of the GSGM is the groups themselves need to list the suburbs & frequency they use in their response, and telling them beforehand helps them unfairly and may bias the results. Thanks!

Speak/Graffiti

Is there away to implement the speak/graffiti functions in custom-made in-game Urban Dead templates?

I'm merely trying to replicate the current in-game visuals as much as possible.

If you want to check it out: Linkage. I could use feedback.

Thanks!-- TheBardofOld 18:00, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

Hello there! I believe the go-to person for this would be User:A Helpful Little Gnome, who created the UDGame templates, if you are referring to the template AHLG uses (which I stole borrowed.) By function, are you referring to the speak/graffiti buttons, or just a "simulation" of such? Iirc, it's not quite possible to make the speak/graffiti functions truly "interactive" (i.e. the player can't spray/have custom graffiti), but you can do something akin to Say "This is a sample sentence." or Spray "a sample message" onto the wall, then modify the "in-game description" on the next page, to reflect such a change. It's a limitation of the wiki software on its own, unless there is a way to automate the appending of such edits. I've been seeing your custom regions even back last year, and I have to say that I hope to see it in fruition eventually! (Sorry if I'm saying anything silly; it's 2 AM where I live and I... am direly in need of sleep.) I'll try to give you some feedback when I awake later; good luck! --Unpax pax. Unslave slave. Unknow power. BB watch you. (stalk · KT · FoD · UT) 18:21, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
Such quick response! Thank you! I was afraid that that was the case, but thank you for the suggestion. That'll have to do, unfortunately, but again, thank you.
And thank you for the feedback, too! I have so many ideas on how to revamp Urban Dead for the masses, like myself, who love and adore this low-graphics MMO with an entirely-new region, TONS of new locations, and things to do. Alas, I'm only like 7% done with the "suburb" creation. Need to figure out a way for randomized location and street name creation. Even with a limitless imagination, I don't want to be creating 30 suburbs, buildings, or streets with the same name. :D -- TheBardofOld 18:27, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

Image Size

Hey, I was just going through the recruitment ads to do some cleaning and maintenance, and it looks like one of the ads you maintain has an image that is a larger file size than is allowed for the recruitment page. Could you can knock this image down to under 56KB? Google has links to a few tools you might be able to use] to reduce the image's size. Thanks! Aichon 15:37, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

Good day! My apologies for the delayed response; I haven't been checking the wiki much as of late. That banner is also used in the main page of the Knights Templar, so I think I'll just upload a different version specifically for the recruitment page.
