Hah, nice article, I had a good laugh. It's good to see someone still has a sense of humour while all of this drama's going on. Well done. - Jedaz [03:01, 18 January 2008 (BST)]

Grim makes all the best stories. I even skipped a couple in December because I didn't want it to turn into the Grim Show - but I guess I can only work with what I'm given. My next article should be on witch-finding - I could interview Nali, who seems to be our latest witch-that-needs-burning. I suppose I could interview you as well, as a former-witch. Weren't you? Memory failing... --Funt Solo ^QT 09:00, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Heh, well Grim is the most controversial sysop these days. Yeah, I was a former witch, I try to keep it on the low down these days. I don't know how interesting an interview type of article would be though. However I'm sure you could come up with something. - Jedaz [03:24, 21 January 2008 (BST)]

I dont object to the page, but id like you to keep in mind thats its supposed to be humourous. The most recent one had a tone not unlike that of a rant. Besides, everyone knows i have a better helmet than that. --The Grimch ^{U! E! WAT!} 03:27, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Fuck - now you're trying to manipulate the media! (Joke. Sort of.) --Funt Solo ^QT 08:55, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Methinks there's enough drama now for an update, don't you? :p Can I be in it this time? -- Cheese 20:57, 8 June 2008 (BST)

Drama? What drama? [This comment approved and edited by the SA:UD Takeover Committee. All is well. Trust your leaders. Go back to bed.] --Funt Solo ^QT 21:46, 10 June 2008 (BST)

Summons

It would appear that someone dropped a line about a conspiracy between the sysops. Update time? --Akule ^{School's in session.} 18:50, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

I am amused... by this... "conspiracy." --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 18:52, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Me too. When do I get to join the "conspiracy"? :( I haven't got my key to the secret Sysop room yet. -- Cheese 19:34, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure that a couple of guys dressed in black suits turn up at your front door with a saftey-deposit key, leading to a set of instructions whereby you place a specific wanted ad in a paper on a given day and are sent your key. they probably haven't found your house yet.--Seventythree^Talk 21:05, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Anyone can (obviously) feel free to add their own reportage to that page. It's starting to look far too much like The Grim Show, anyway - and now he's semi-retired. I'm not inspired by anything these days - and I was far too close to the last thing I thought was even vaguely worthy. Who is this DCC punk? Doesn't he realise that his news of a conspiracy is olde news? When I wert lad, we had proper conspiracies: none of this "they're trying to ban me for abusing a fellow wikizen" nonsense. We had good old fashioned purges and secret cabals. Come to think of it, Gnome is being kind of, quiet...is he the new power behind the throne? --Funt Solo ^QT 21:33, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Gnome was always the power behind the throne........--Seventythree^Talk 21:38, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Man, you are being rude

Even if I was stupid (and I am not no matter what you may think) it would still be very impolite to say the things you said. You act like you own the Wiki. And I am glad you don't - no matter how much you do for it. This is sad. --JohnRubin 20:27, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

An implimented suggestion

Hi, I was looking through the PR archives, and found this suggestion that has been implemented... Sorry I'm too lazy to move it myself, but I figure you know where and how it should be moved, it'd take me ages to work out the system for just this one... g'arn, be a pal -- boxy ^{T L ZS Nuts2U DA} 04:39, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

1. Cut and paste the suggestion from it's current location to the Implemented Suggestions page (new at the bottom).
2. Cut the entry on the Peer Reviewed page general listings.
3. Create a new entry at the bottom of the Peer Reviewed page Implemented Suggestions listing. (This involves the date implemented, if known, the date the suggestion was first posted, and the author of the suggestion, if known.)

Suggestions

Eh, I see you've basicaly retired from cycling the suggestions system. 3 to 4 months of doing it, quite a good job. I'm starting to think that we need a template to say that such and such has worked on the suggestions system. =P I've got one question though, do you know what Zaruthustra's 2nd ‎law is? - Jedaz^{ΣT MC ΞD GIS S! 12:45, 23 April 2007 (GMT)}

Not the first clue. Religion isn't my thing, unless it's worship of pizza. But a template would be nice. --Funt Solo 14:01, 23 April 2007 (BST)

lol, well it's not actualy from a religion, but another wiki user, although I'll forgive you for not knowing him because of how new you were to the wiki at the time he idled out. But the law states "Somebody will always vote keep given enough time" ^[1]. Just a useless bit of information that I thought I'ld share. Anyway once I make that template I'll let you know about it so you can show it proudly =P - Jedaz^{ΣT MC ΞD GIS S! 13:12, 23 April 2007 (GMT)}

Precinct 13?

I was reading through your suggs (some of which are very cool and found this reference to precinct 13, what is it and why is it in gatcombeton? Thanks.--xoxo 10:24, 4 May 2008 (BST)

Gatcombeton is the 13th suburb (reading ttb-ltr), and the Lamport Walk PD is an island, surrounded by car parks and streets. This is reminiscent of the set up for the movie Assault on Precinct 13. That's all. --Funt Solo ^QT 12:28, 4 May 2008 (BST)

Ah ok, i figured it was something such. Nice double meaning, and i've always meant to go that famous PD and overcade it...one day, one day...--xoxo 05:48, 5 May 2008 (BST)

The day has come. Actually it came a few weeks ago. But i just noticed this so i thought i'd let you know that my dream has come true.--xoxo 02:00, 9 June 2008 (BST)

The page seems not to be working...any ideas when it will be back up or where I can access it from a different site? --BrainsTasty 06:30, 10 June 2008 (BST)

I'll have it back up on a new addy - I had to move all my 'net gear recently. Watch this space. --Funt Solo ^QT 08:38, 10 June 2008 (BST)

Ding! UD enc calc

Oh hi.

Hello, Since all of the subterranean suggestions I've found a bit dated.. I've been combining and updating the following,

The Underworld (For the most part, this one)

With or without the Padlocks, and No seeing the location above you, as is Subway Tunnels.

Perhaps instead of messing with search rates of the above world, Some unlocked underground locations might have them?

Just a thought

Subway Tunnels

= Subterranean

I just found this.

However, with the advent of darkness, and all the rejected Night vision things, plus the existing mechanics, There's more to be done.

_■^■ 18:50, 22 August 2008 (BST)

Hi. The subway tunnels one isn't mine. Aye, I wrote the Underworld an absolute age ago - when I first found the suggestions system, so it's dated, right enough. Uhm ... I'm busy with other things, so I don't mind at all if you use that stuff as inspiration for your own suggestions, if that's what you were trying to say. (As this is a wiki, it seems somewhat redundant to copy the entire text of any suggestion to your sub-pages, when you could instead just link to the relevant pages.) --Funt Solo ^QT 21:24, 22 August 2008 (BST)

Striking Votes

Do you seriously want to rehash this drama? --Karek^maps?! 00:11, 26 August 2008 (BST)

Feel free to reinstate the stricken vote, if you feel strongly about it. I will not contest any such edit. I was following the guidelines given on the page which (as you're aware, I'm sure) say "Votes must be numbered, justified, signed, and timestamped [and those] that do not conform ... may be struck by any user." No drama required. Good night and good luck. --Funt Solo ^QT 05:59, 26 August 2008 (BST)

Why did he delete my post? He's no mod!

On September 14th, User:The_Hierophant deleted my post because he felt it was a biased POV. When making the post I was trying to express what my character had witnessed and what is factually accurate. Please investigate this. I have placed a very boring and plain comment on the wiki, something non-POV and bland. If this is really the flavour that is preferred on the wiki, I will understand, but just deleting my comments smacks of vandalism. Thank you for your time. Sir Fred of Etruria 05:57, 15 September 2008 (BST)

Hi. I suggest if you have issue with his edit that you discuss it with him. If the result of any such discussion is not to your liking, then there is always the option of seeking Arbitration. I don't care enough about the matter to spend any more time considering it. --Funt Solo ^QT 06:03, 15 September 2008 (BST)

Oh my! The reason I mentioned this to you, is the person who had my post deleted has informed me that he considers my characters KOS in-game. I had not anticipated that he would also be stalking me on the wiki. - Sir Fred of Etruria 14:43, 15 September 2008 (BST)

Eastonwood danger level

before we get into an edit war... i'd just like to ask: have you scouted Easton' at all? because we've been through this so many times before, where someone says based on an ExMil report, "Oh Easton's a Ghost Town"... Then someone (sometimes me) takes an actual look inside the buildings... And, no, it ain't no Ghost Town. Consistently. That's why I reverted it back to V/Danger, because there was only an ExMil to make it G/Town in the first place. That's all, cheers. --WanYao 16:37, 15 September 2008 (BST)

Hi Wan - thanks for coming to discuss this - and no, I don't want to enter an edit war. Clearly, if you have better (i.e. more accurate) information than me, then I will bow to it. To be clear, are you saying that the buildings are occupied by more zombies than can be seen on the streets, and that the total number of zombies is greater than 60? If that is the case, and you have recently scouted, I'd ask that you post a report on that suburb page, so that it remains clear to anyone else why the danger level is Very D, and not Ghost T. Cheers! --Funt Solo ^QT 16:41, 15 September 2008 (BST)

I don't have that information, I haven't been there in ages. But my point is, no one has, apparently. Other than EF. (I may go there soon, though...) Therefore, it makes sense not to change the danger level to Ghost Town, but to leave it as it was, until we know either way. This is based on the history of danger level reports in Eastonwood, where the Ghost Town edits have ALWAYS been disproven. Always... exactly because there were bazillions of zombies inside. However, with only 20 zombies reported, perhaps it's up to the EF or someone else to prove otherwise; if it was reporting say 40 zombies, I'd say, "No chance, leave it V/D"... But it says only 20, soooo... maybe... --WanYao 19:00, 15 September 2008 (BST)

I just investigated with a character - see 'burb report page. I've changed it to Ghost Town, given the evidence. And the danger report specs say that 60 is the upper limit for a Ghost-T, not 20, or 40, or whatever. --Funt Solo ^QT 19:02, 15 September 2008 (BST)

Yes, yes I saw ... :P If you're not already, you should get in on the SimSniff thing. It's one of the best intel tools ever made, but atm we have like 3-5 people tops who update it. Every person who can add a few sniffs even semi-regularly helps immensely. Talk to sweirs about getting an "account", or figure out how to do the anon thing (I dunno, cuz I don't need it). It'd be very cool to get more ppl updating it. Cheers! --WanYao 20
