How would you like to participate in a somewhat unique wiki project? One thing I have always wanted to do is for a given event, is to have two different versions of that event: a survivor POV and a zombie POV version. Blackmore: 4(04) would be a great test case. The way it would work is the main link to the event would use the currenthour magic word. We would make 24 redirects. Even hours would go to a survivor version page; odd hours would goto the zombie version page. Both pages would have cross-references to the other one. Perhaps a template at the top saying it is a zombie version and if you want the other one, go here.

A poorman's version of using currenthour as a random variable is my userpage, which pulls different images depending on the hour visited. Unless you know of a different way to have a random variable?

(===Status Reports===)

Hello^^, I'm Gogomouse. I've been using the radio daily to inform anyone on 26.34. I had a neat idea to finally sign up with the wiki and update the status. I think you are the one that runs this page correct? I can give a daily report of the mall from here on out since you mentioned that nobody has given a report in two weeks. Soo.. with that said I still dont know how to change the happy face picture. ; ; Zombies are eating us but I dont know the numbers that are outside. The status pictures are very specific from x number to y number. How do I update it and how do I choose the correct one? - 1930hrs July 11, 2010.

Hey, it happens to everybody. No worries ;) --~ Red Hawk One Talk | space for lease 18:17, 29 March 2010 (BST)

I was wondering if you could help me...

Right, so I'm bored at the moment. I don't really have much to do on the wiki, save the occasional orphaned page. So, I thought, what needs doing on the wiki? Location block demerging came to mind, and as a result, so did you.[/preamble]

Basically, I was wondering how one goes about demerging location blocks? I have nothing better to do, so I was just wondering, as I may set about doing some in my spare time.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 10:27, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Large Barricade Plan Template

Hello RED! Noticed some of the nice work you've done around the wiki and thought you might be able to lend a hand with something I've been playing with off and on in my sandbox for a while-- a large version of the barricade plan template. Not quite as big as the map you have in your sandbox, but similar in size requirements.

The idea was to take the individual barricade plans for a district in Malton and combine them into one nice table so you could get the ideal barricade situation for an entire district. Also tried to get it set up such that if the plan for a suburb changed, the district plan would automatically reflect that. Over the course of a couple months work and talking with Rooster, we got that much figured out. It still looks pretty rough though, so wondering if maybe you had thoughts on how to spruce it up so it looks nice and neat before implementation for all 20 districts of Malton. --Maverick Talk - OBR Praise Knowledge! 404 18:31, 26 September 2009 (BST)

My idea was to make one for each district. I think that one large barricade plan map for the entirety of Malton would be so large that most people would be unable to even view it. Adding the key to the bottom is easy, the problem I've been having is the sizing--as you might have noticed the different suburbs have differently sized tables. Later this week I'm hoping to play around with the height and width values in the suburb tables and see if that remedies the problem. Once I get a common size among those tables, then I can shrink the size of the district table a little bit. If you think of an easier way of doing it, let me know! --Maverick Talk - OBR Praise Knowledge! 404 18:24, 28 September 2009 (BST)
I had noticed that many of the suburb barricade plans were not templated. I had to deal with that for the five suburbs I started with. It's honestly a rather minor fix, but certainly one that we will have to deal with once we get the design down and start applying it to the other districts. I'll toy around with some minor fixes to the suburb templates to see if that fixes the sizing problem, otherwise I'll contact DDR and see if she has any ideas. But I'll keep you in the loop if you're interested. --Maverick Talk - OBR Praise Knowledge! 404 01:58, 29 September 2009 (BST)

Scheduled deletion

Do you mean if they're the only author? --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 22:29, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Well yes; assuming there are multiple authors or someone takes over the page, then it gets complicated and A/SD would sort out whether the others want it gone; the idea behind this is simply to ease the red tape on removing one-off flukes, never-got-off-the-runway groups, and other newer pages the author decides they don't want. That, and to address the apparent concern over inclusions being deleted.--~ Red Hawk One Talk | space for lease 22:39, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi,... I don't really know Thaed that well,... but I don't ever recall him having posted such personal information on his User mainspace like what can be seen in this revision.... and I agree that it seems fairly odd that he'd be blanking pages like that. I'm wondering if his account's been hacked, and if there is some way we could investigate that at all... what do you think? I'm going to hit up a couple other Sysop/Wiki Mod's on this too... so if you want to contact me via my talk page about it, or post in the relative subsection of my talk page, that would be cool.... -Poodle of DoomM!

In-Game

necrowatch blindspot

Thanks for the encouragement. I was starting to use necrowatch a lot in the past week because eastern Rhodenbank is just a mess with the zombie incursion from Dulston and it became a matter of habit that I check necrowatch to scout ahead. I figured I might as well update the buildings that I travel through too to help other survivors. Nothing is more frustrating than seeing on the wiki that the building is "safe" a week ago then free-running with your last AP into a ruined building with 10 active zombies Oo. I will probably hang around Rhodenbank area or within one suburb radius for the near future ... see you around OO Willie 10:55, 21 October 2009 (GMT+8)

Update - I got your informative broadcast today and I just scrounged a gen and fuel can in Earletown . Originally I am going to get back to st alfred's to power it up but if eastern rhodenbank needs it I can be there in 12hrs as I tapped out my APs looking for that gen (-_-). --OO Willie 04:08, 22 October 2009 (BST)
Update - Oh ok, sometimes I forget to add the sig. I'll probably wind my way slowly back to east rhodenbank to pick up more fuel, gen and medkits. Do you know if pullinger repair shop in Earletown is still up? Last time I was there is 10-11 days ago and it was okay.--OO Willie 04:08, 22 October 2009 (BST)

Whitlock building in Dulston just became my grave ... I was dumb to stay alone in strategic buildings inside a hot zone and Dead Animal parachuted in and lit me up like a christmas tree before proceeding to turn the building into a pinata. He have since reverted to his zombie status and we are still inside the building ... may just annoy him by smashing down the barricades before leaving for a revive point in Rhodenbank. --OO Willie 13:40, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Just got an update from Lazerwolf, looks like Rhodenbank is gutted like a fish. Hope you made it out okay. I am currently in Rolt Heights around Lovell auto repair and St Hermann hospital. I got 3 revive syringes, 10 medkits and a fuel can. I am probably going to head to the factory and police station @ southwestern part of Rolt Heights to scrounge for a generator and ammo before heading to the suburbs that the MOB just smashed to rebuild. See you around --OO Willie 12:43, 12 November 2009 (UTC)


a naked man

Yes, it's him. So the racist troll is spamming Santlerville radio from Rhodenbank. How brave. Feel free to blow his head off until he shuts up/runs away/quits the game for good. I've heard someone said he was leaving the game because of all those racist remarks. The troll must pay for that.

By the way, another racist accomplice of his (or maybe even his alt) is Jack Heins, here. This is one broadcast I heard myself. He doesn't only spam the radio, but also the Wiki as well. And he is blocked indefinitely for that. Santlerville, and ultimately Malton, would be better without those two.

P.S. I'm starting to think my updates to the Great Radio Messages have been spams and insults a lot lately. Perhaps I am too easily amused, or too fond of dark humor and sarcasm. And as a result, my entries aren't that "great." What do you think about them? -- Kittithaj 21:08, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

I see. Looks like it's time to raise my standard a bit on what's funny and what's stupid. The Radio Jihad in particular is being dragged out too long, it gets repetitive. And people of Santlerville seem to think of the same thing. Time to let go of that one.
P.S. You should do something with all the page stretching. -- Kittithaj 20:42, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Plez?

Pretty Plez? My threats may be poorly thought out, but that doesn't mean you can't feel threatened by them. Just casually lay it down. We're all friends here. There's no need to make this any bigger than it needs to be. We're both already on a crusade, just do as the nice man asks and neither of us will have to go on a massive search and destroy mission spanning months due to Malton's size. We can be friends. I have cookies. --VVV RPMBG 08:02, 18 July 2010 (BST)

User:Red Hawk One/Sandbox 4. What's the story? -- User:The Rooster RoosterDragon User talk:The Rooster 04:27, 28 April 2010 (BST)

Well, I was thinking of trying to reorder the categorization of location pages by suburb or district, but it looks like the categories are tied in through the info and locationblock templates. I'm testing changing up the variables in the templates so that, say, the Parks Building would be put in a Category:Rhodenbank Buildings category instead of seperate Category:Rhodenbank and Category:Buildings categories. ~ Red Hawk One Talk | space for lease 04:32, 28 April 2010 (BST)
That's...a lot of categories. Tis a shame wiki software totally isn't a database. Would be able to just get the results as the intersection of Rhodenbank and Office Buildings. -- User:The Rooster RoosterDragon User talk:The Rooster 04:38, 28 April 2010 (BST)
I know... Right now I see a possible way to work it out (change the category in Template:Locationblock to [[Category:{{{suburb}}} {{{location_color}}}]] and delete the category from the Info templete), but that leaves the slight problem of the {{{location_color}}} variable being singular. Any way of fixing it would involve alot of tedious page edits. ~ Red Hawk One Talk | space for lease 04:44, 28 April 2010 (BST)
The reason the categories were put on the info bits in the first place was to address the plural problem. Although I think you could use a switch to get it to work. That said, I'm partial to the separate categories myself. -- User:The Rooster RoosterDragon User talk:The Rooster 04:51, 28 April 2010 (BST)
My idea was more to sub-categorize than to do away with the old categories. All the same, the work it would take is really starting to overcome my OCD. :/ ~ Red Hawk One Talk | space for lease 04:57, 28 April 2010 (BST)

Tally Ho, Watson!

Just a theory here, but... Red Hawk turns up for the first time in late 2008, shortly after the history purge. He immediately jumps in to Danger Report and suburb news updates, making none of the tell-tale newb errors. He "creates" a group, but the only reference to it is a template, and no actual group page was ever created. The Group, BLU, is no longer referenced anywhere in the entireity of the wiki. He later writes off the group and joins RCDC.

During hsi time on the wiki, he rapidly discovers the BIC, works on it tirelessly, and takes on the ultimate project, demergign all merged location pages. This task was finally achieved on 13th June 2010. Three days later, Red makes his last edits to UDwiki, and on the 19th, he visits the dulston alliance forums for the final time, my last recorded instance of him. My conclusion; Red Hawk One was an experienced Wiki-User, and was created for the sole purpose of upgrading the Building Information Centre.

That leaves the ultimate question; If Red Hawk wasn't just a random user, who was he? I have an answer to that too. Vantar vanished from Urban Dead towards mid-2008, and his final edits in september are only a month before the Red Hawk One urban dead account is made. Then, less than a month ago, Vantar returns to UDwiki with no adequate explanation. The reason is that he's been operating udner the alias of Red Hawk One the entire time, and never left. If the timings weren't good enough, what does Vantar do when he returns to the wiki? He finishes Red's ultimate project, essentially writing off the need for the account.

The facts match, the dates match, and, to a large extent, the mannerisms match. The only question is, will checkuser match? I shall now go, accompanied by any sysops who wish to join me, to checkuser to see if my theory is true.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 00:15, 28 June 2010 (BST)

Just accept it as love, RHO.

He should do featured. We need a good FA system, and Red is the man for the job.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 20:43, 11 July 2010 (BST)
You know, I actually was working on FA for a while, but then Izzy, who had it out for me for some reason, gummed up the whole process.
Now that the prick's gone, I might actually be able to finish. ~ Red Hawk One Talk | space for lease 20:47, 11 July 2010 (BST)

True, but I still had the feeling i was one of his favorite targets. But I digress. I'll post my proposition on the FA talk page is a little bit. ~ Red Hawk One Talk | space for lease 20:51, 11 July 2010 (BST)
Nice, we need a good system, and what I saw of yours on your proposed main page was stellar.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 20:53, 11 July 2010 (BST)
I'm more or less suggesting that system, the only difference is that I'm replacing the DYK with the current Community Portal template. Or should the DYK stay? ~ Red Hawk One Talk | space for lease 20:55, 11 July 2010 (BST)

Blackmore siege

I have the final end time and date of the Blackmore siege and a more or less complete guest book of survivor participants organized by group. Let me know when and where you would like them posted.

hey. I'm gonna keep it as "survivors" i think. I dont know, I just think it honestly seems much better, is that weird? -- LEMON #1 07:22, 9 September 2010 (BST)

The formatting seems a little odd, what with "Survivors" appearing a whole line below the description. ~ Red Hawk One Talk | space for lease 07:23, 9 September 2010 (BST)
I don't get it, maybe I'm seeing it differently :/ it just looks like normal battle template to me, and "survivors v zombies" just makes more sense than "survivor v zombies" imo. -- LEMON #1 07:26, 9 September 2010 (BST)

Interviews

You interview every major part of the Blackmore siege but me. I see how it is. You don't think I'm important or a major role.

Or I actually wasn't

Either way, good job.--—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Justinbronze (talkcontribs) at an unknown time.

You weren't available when I was doing the interviews. Coincidentally, I've had an open prompt on the talk page for around a week- that's how Agent Sandman got on the page. ~ Red Hawk One Talk | space for lease 01:41, 10 September 2010 (BST)

Blackmore:4(04)

How would you like to participate in a somewhat unique wiki project? One thing I have always wanted to do is for a given event, is to have two different versions of that event: a survivor POV and a zombie POV version. Blackmore: 4(04) would be a great test case. The way it would work is the main link to the event would use the currenthour magic word. We would make 24 redirects. Even hours would go to a survivor version page; odd hours would goto the zombie version page. Both pages would have cross-references to the other one. Perhaps a template at the top saying it is a zombie/survivor version and if you want the other one, go here.

A poorman's version of using currenthour as a random variable is my userpage, which pulls different images depending on the hour visited. Unless you know of a different way to have a random variable?

Anyways, we have the basic framework of a more zombie-centric POV for Blackmore:4(04) somewhat ready to go. To keep the styles consistent, we will probably use the same WAR nav-sidebar you are using, as well as the interviews at the bottom (which are solid btw), if that is ok with you.

Is this something that would interest you?
