danger levels stuff
in the right hand table on the main suburb page there is a link says something like "Update Suburb Danger Level". Click on that and then on the "history" tab... And, check the "how to" section to learn how to edit it yourself. it's pretty straightforward. hope that answers your question. --WanYao 04:23, 22 October 2008 (BST)

Discussion Relocation
Moved from FOD Current Campaign News
Hey, Im not sure this discussion should go here, I looked into the other campaigns, and they all have blank discussion pages, I'm moving this to the diplomacy page, I plan on deleting this, unless you guys think this should stay here. Let me know what you think -- Denver 5MoC 23:52, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
- Technically all talk goes on the one discussion page, yes. I just really couldn't be bothered moving it :P You can if you'd like, I've noticed you're a little OCD with the wiki. -- Peter McGrady FoD 05:39, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
- hahahaha, so you saw my conversation with Ross? I guess it has its benefits, keeps stuff nice and neat. Sorry, If it becomes annoying or anything just let me know, the last thing I wanna be is a pest. Here, I already moved this to the diplomacy page, I'll delete this tomorrow. -- Denver 5MoC 06:05, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
- Yeap, I can be a wiki nerd some times, I watch a lot of pages. You're right, if you let us know that you've done it, you can do pretty much anything here. It's good to have some active members on the wiki, we're not exactly prompt in changing things here. -- Peter McGrady FoD 16:33, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
- I'm just trying to make myself as much of an asset as I can to the group. I'll be sure to inform you guys of little minor things I do, bigger stuff I'll ask for permission first. Oh and did you get your user page figured out?-- Denver 5MoC 01:11, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
- Nope, I just ended up giving up in the end, it looked good to me and I couldn't tell how it looked to anyone else, so meh. I switched back to FF2 as well, didn't see any real benefits to 3, and I lost far too many of the add-ons I actually use. -- Peter McGrady FoD 03:34, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
hahahaha, well if you want I'll tinker with it for yah, damn firefox3 users, mess everything up. Your gonna have a hard time keeping ff2, it'll try to automatically update on you alot, Ive had to reinstall ff2 like 3 times.-- Denver 5MoC 21:35, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, that's what happened last time, I must've accidently clicked "yes" to the update. I've just answered "never" to the update question this time though, and it's yet to bug me with it. I think I've fixed (or at least improved) my page. I still can't autosize pictures, but I realised I had more than one border, and the inner one was only at 70% of the screen - hence why I couldn't fix both sections which added to 85%. Is it showing properly on yours? -- Peter McGrady FoD 05:20, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, I just finagled with the autosize, and now it shows up side by side when the screen isn't restored down on my computer that has ff3. yeah and you cant really mess with the pictures, unless you can figure out what percentage of the px to reduce it by. So if your at 100px and you want it to be reduced by 25% thats 75px, sadly though in my case I'd have a number like 113px and I'd want to reduce it by 17% so it gets messy.-- Denver 5MoC 21:33, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
- Well nevermind, I just scrolled down, looks like cheesy answered your question, oh and why is your talk page so skinny?-- Denver 5MoC 21:43, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
- I think my pages are fixed, but I still can't tell to be honest. Good point about the talk page, it just looked good when I borrowed it from Karth. I've changed it now - the skinniness was starting to shit me as well. -- Peter McGrady FoD 05:40, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
- It's side by side now. Looks good, only your templates at the bottom pull to the left. Just throw on a couple of centering commands and that should fix it. But yeah looks like problem solved, alright for conformity. -- Denver 5MoC 08:50, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
- Lol, they're left on purpose, I preferred it. -- Peter McGrady FoD 08:52, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
Your Questions
Firstly, there is a list of Recent changes. Us wiki addicts use it to spy on you :P, and that's how I saw your edit over at Cheese's page.
Secondly, over at Wikipedia, there is a tool which lets you see all the pages in your namespace, but sadly, that must only come in a later version (Kevan never updates this thing.) The closest on our wiki is this which will show you all the pages in your namespace (as well as a lot of other stuff, for some reason.
As for your second question, I donno. Cheese might have an answer, if not there is always Wiki Questions.

- We have it actually: Special:Prefixindex, example. -- AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 04:10, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
- Heh. Thanks Gnome :). Linkthewindow Talk 04:14, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
- I've got to stalk you all more often! Quick answers, and I'm "learning" things by stealing them from your pages. Cheers. -- Peter McGrady FoD 04:18, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
- Try The Wiki Code Stealers ;). Linkthewindow Talk 04:21, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
On the image front you just simply need to replace the px variable in an image call with a % variable. For example: [[Image:Example.jpg|50%]] will automatically scale to 50% of the page size. For a slightly bigger examele, the border on my userpage is set to scale to 80% of the total page size regardless of resolution. Hope that helps. =) -- Cheese 10:51, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
Heh. Don't worry about it. There's a reason I keep game drama to the game-you can get into flame wars with perfectly fine people over stuff that should be kept in game. Hell, even if you killed me I would have simply ignored it (I got over my fear of Pkers a long time ago ;).) Because that was slightly incoherent, I'll clarify. Game stuff stays in game, wiki stuff says on the wiki. When that doesn't happen, bad stuff happens (like the recent Umbies drama.) Anyway, all this death is making me all depressed. Need any moar help? Linkthewindow Talk 11:46, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
A Challenge
Original post here but for your benefit I shall post here as well. I have class until 5 hours from now. . . so if I do not respond in a timely manner I apologise.
Peter McGrady, After reviewing your posts elsewhere, I have come upon a simple decision. You thirst for a fight and think we Spartans talk too much. So I am calling you out Flower. Put your gun where your mouth is. A duel is what I propose. Just you, and me. I will not target your fellow Flower children and I ask you to spare my Spartan brothers. Just the two of us dancing that beautiful dance. I will even let you set the boundaries sir. We go at it until our thirst for battle is quenched and one yields. *Astinos87 slaps Peter with his gauntlet. What say you sir?
- Good thing you posted this on my wiki or I would've missed it. To be honest, I'm not a great fan of the real-time fight. They tend to come down to two things - connection speed, and random luck with the RNG, neither of which denote skill to me. It DOES sound like fun though, and a bit of a change. Hmmmm...
- One question: You noted the condition that I could not target other Spartans. Do you mean effectively entering a standing cease-fire if I accept, or is this merely for the duration of the duel so that others can watch?
- I have not decided either way, but I'm willing to discuss the possibility. If we did go ahead, I think a stadium is most appropriate - allows for movement while giving an easily viewable area. Could be a cathedral/mansion or other venue if a stadium is not available. A mall would be too crowded. I would also like to suggest a second part to the duel - a one-on-one hunt over a suburb, first to a set number of kills. It's a little more my preferred style. Your thoughts?
- I am glad you noted the reason I cross posted here ;)
- As for the duel itself, I actually meant the second suburb wide duel as you suggested. Real time fights, in addition to the problems you noted, are a hassle to plan. I am a full time student and have mod responsibilities on several forums. None of that makes it easy for me to coordinate real time duel, and I imagine you have your own commitments. However, one of the most thrilling kills I had involved the Immortal Captain Ghost Guard, so if you are game I will entertain the notion.
- For the challange itself, I did have a alternative idea whilst in class. I already spoke my misgivings on fighting other Greeks. You speak that we talk too much and have little show it. How about a week long contest, see who comes out with the higher body count? We would both be free to target who we wish, even each other/our groups if you insist. Each kill would be confirmed with some sort of screenshot. Not that I dont trust you, but perhaps some of our comrades would raise a eyebrow if we went on our good words alone.
- Any way you pick, live duel, suburb wide hunt, body count, I am interested in. If you do IRC, I am frequently on the nexuswar server under the name MagnarThomas. We could meet up in #redrum and discuss things further there. Otherwise I will check here and PKA throughout the day to see your response.
- HA-OOH Peter McGrady of FoD. Whatever you choose, I look forward to it. --Gus ThomasSpartaZHU 18:29, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
