Walkie talkie chargers

I agree that rare doesn't equal balanced. What I'm trying to do though isn't just add another rare item to acquire, but add the need for a separate trip. The idea of the WT is that it's about foresight and planning ahead for when your suburb is ruined, the phone mast is down, and you're forced to run for your life. People need to invest AP in advance to have a powered walkie or two in reserve. But it's pretty simple to find a walkie, keep it in your inventory, and then just recharge it when you come across a powered building. Walkies aren't as useful when your suburb is secure, so I want finding a bracket to be done only by smart people in secure suburbs with the foresight to realize the suburb won't stay secure. --A Big F'ing Dog 17:04, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

SOS arbies case

I hope you don't mind, but I copied your message to Lucas Black to here, the actual account that was editing the page. He seems to have 2 accounts, one with a space between the names, one without -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 23:49 21 December 2008 (BST)

ah, i didn't realise that. thanks. --WanYao 00:09, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

More on the Arbies Drama

Shouldn't have replied there at all if you wanted it on that talk pages, much less have complained about it in response constantly without moving it. I do have a talk page after all. And while I don't care about the general opinion of me I do very much mind being accused of doing something that isn't happening because someone doesn't understand how their actions led to the thing to be complained about and decide it's all other other person's fault so they are somehow not spamming a page by constantly spamming that the other person is spamming in the wrong place. Things like your recent comment on arbies is exactly why I posted there, to get you to stop now that I have, which you aren't because you somehow feel you weren't doing the exact same thing you accused me of. --Karek^maps?! 01:12, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

No. I offered to officially Arbitrate. However, I set terms for accepting the "position" of Arbitrator. I also clarified some of the established procedures for Arbitration, which some people don't seem to be aware of. That's different. Meanwhile, I'm sick and tired of everyone playing the holier than thou card on the wiki... I don't pretend to be perfect and flawless and infallible... I merely suggested that your "mediation" was being done in the wrong place, and that it had the effect of spamming up the Arby case. You're free to disagree; however, if you wanna talk about "spamming" the Abry page, well, you and Iscariot are the bona fide guitly parties, not I.

I deleted out previous conversation from my talk page... And I will do the same with this one, karek... because I am sick of the petty bullshit that's been going down in the Admin pages... And as much as I myself am guilty of such things -- exactly because I can be at times guilty of such myself -- I am trying to put a stop to it. Thanks. --WanYao 01:27, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

I expected you to delete it. Just felt some more explanation was necessary because of your response there and here before you deleted the last one.--Karek^maps?! 02:25, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Double

I noticed that a lot of the discussions on your talk page are duplicates of ones that occurred at a different spot on the same page. Is this intentional? --Pestolence^(talk) 22:51, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Nope, it's not intentional. I don't start the threads... ;) --WanYao 22:57, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Dulston Editing

First of all a big FUCK YOU. I know how the wiki is supposed to work. Unfortunately, this place is run by a lot of egocentric and pompous assholes who have turned it into a political fiasco. Yes, a simple informational website for a simple game gone to hell. Let's take...well you for instance. You deleted a few days worth of news by myself as well as another person at least. Mine of course was simply stating that Dulston Alliance was taking back buildings and would like support. What's the harm there? I wasn't stating that the zombies suck and have all died, everything is hunky dory and there is going to be a kegger with naked women. Or should I have put that? If this isn't news to that particular suburb I'm not sure what is. You deleting it then talking how it doesn't merit mention because zombies are there is completely out of line. Have you been to the burb lately? Probably not. So you don't really know shit do you? Just because you choose the PK/Zed playing style in the game (like other Moderators on here) does not me you can do whatever the fuck you want. If something doesn't look good to you...it's gone. You and you're stupid pals all bully around other users and try to humiliate them all in the name of your groups or for yourselves. Finger pointing at one person and laughing at the next. I've even witnessed the stupid "peoples court" you guys run here. Let me see...it was a DORIS member versus a Pro-survivor member...with a DORIS judge. Ummm...yeah that's like have a blind, deaf & dumb jury. You know what? This is a PUBLIC site. Fix errors, typos & stuff like that but let people have a little expressive freedom with their words & opinions. Don't just delete it because it goes against what you think/feel. Oh, and have you tried looking up rules you guys setup on here? It's an absolute cluster fuck! No organization whatsoever. So great job! Have fun on your high horse.

Please let the others know this wiki is turning into a joke...that isn't funny. This is about a little game based on a fictional city named Malton. This is not Washington D.C.

-Officer Murphy-

All users are asked to post in an NPOV style. You failed to do so. Therefore, I deleted the offending posts. Sorry if you're butthurt by that, too bad, so sad. Everything else you've said is irrelevant, inaccurate and/or merely inflammatory. And will therefore be appropriately ignored. Have a nice day. And post NPOV! --WanYao 23:00, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Moreover... In spite of your accusations of "bias", et al., I do my best to report objectively and even-handedly. If you peruse my News reports in [[|Dulston|Nah Baghab]], you'll see that I give just mention of, and due credit to, the Dulston Alliance and other survivor groups. So just smarten up, quit being an asshat... NPOV isn't that hard to follow: just avoid overt propagandising and offering up tactical advice. There are other members of the DA who are able to do it just fine, maybe you could ask them how.... --WanYao 01:13, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, Yeah...whatever. By the way NPOV is not meant for the Urban Dead wiki. I mean it's not like we have "factual" information to base stuff off. Even if we were to reference a building or something it's not like that particular topic can't change in a heartbeat and by the time you or your "source" check it out you then edit. Look, I can't quote what Rolling Stone Magazine had to say on Malton. Know why? Because Malton is a fictional city! If you guys are going to go by this NPOV shit then at least don't have a link for us to reference rules lead to complete useless crap. There is an NPOV talk page sitting here that all of you should put to use. I'll post what I want until then and if it's deleted so be it. -Officer Murphy 19:06, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

NPOV is how we handle community pages here. No, it's not the wikipedia or an academic thesis. It doesn't work the same way as one of those However, there are some rules and guidelines. But if you don't want to play nice with the other people on the wiki and deal with some simple style guides and rules... well... whatever. --WanYao 21:47, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

feel da powaa

when are you going to join the cool kids and come to the sysop side ? In april you asked for a few days, i guess that by now you got plenty of 'em. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 21:27, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

and your talk page needs a new archive. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 21:28, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

you're right, it does need archiving, doesn't it... and, while i'm playing again after a little break... i'm really not as interested or able to spend anywhere near as much time here as i was before, especially in regards to wiki drama, etc. in a way, that might be a good thing: i'm pretty distant from the drama etc., and plan to stay that way... however, if i was going to do the sysop thing, i'd be a "sporadic" sysop... --WanYao 20:07, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Your's is a voice i could trust with the banhammer and other tools, and one i would like to hear, even if only sporadically. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 22:19, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Wiki questions

Hey, noticed you seem to handle a lot of the editing on the Dunell Hills and surrounding suburb pages, so figured it'd be best to ask you first: Where is the changing of suburb danger levels actually done? Does it show in the history? I've looked in recent history for both the suburb page itself, and the suburb danger map, but can't see where it's changed. I am a relative wiki amateur however so it might be right under my nose. Just curious as to how I'd determine who changed the suburb level if they didn't leave a note in the recent news section. Thanks -- Peter McGrady ^FoD 01:32, 22 October 2008 (BST)

Aha! Knew it'd be somewhere obvious. Thanks for that. -- Peter McGrady ^FoD 04:53, 22 October 2008 (BST)

That can't be good...

I was gonna ask you where you been all my life, then i checked your contribs and noticed you'd only been gone 4 days...how'd you miss out on all the 2 Cool bashing that was going on? It would have been right up your alley too...--x o x o 06:32, 17 October 2008 (BST)

ah j3d, see... see how much you love me? i always said... it was only a matter of time before you saw the light... however, i'm not coming back to this "skene" in any major capacity for a long time. if ever. which means you couldbeat that 3-d repair record we share... which i have to fucking post someday, hmnnnnnnn... --WanYao 06:49, 17 October 2008 (BST)

You? 134? I find that difficult to believe. This skene needs you more than ever, know that we'll always have each other, you can stand under my umbrella, ella, ella. But yeah, why the ditching? --x o x o 11:28, 17 October 2008 (BST)

Great Fire ambiguity

Hey as one of the wikizens around here that has a background with ALiM projects that goes back before the purge, we'd greatly appreciate if you went here and testified. We are asking for witnesses who can confirm the fact that the page, Great Fire of 1912 was indeed created by and largely moderated by myself and User:J3D. The task of claiming our creation over the page is complicated by the fact that no history is available to back up our claim due to the history purge. Thanks for you time.--Nallan (Talk) 08:27, 11 October 2008 (BST)

Mall FAK Rates

Seem to be around 1/5....compile some data on it!--x o x o 12:48, 9 October 2008 (BST)

something like that. shit... i decide to quit UD and all this rawking shit takes place. i should quit UD more often! :) --WanYao 07:08, 10 October 2008 (BST)

Hospital search rates seem about the same, as do gun store search rates. --Jen 03:24, 11 October 2008 (BST)

Building Statuses

I've noticed you've been changing the status of malls to "unknown" if they haven't been updated in two weeks. What's your opinion on buildings in general, that haven't had their status changed in ages? Like, say...this one or this one? Also, there's some buildings that don't even have one of those templates - would it be worthwhile, do you think, to remove "building status" from any non-TRP/non-mobile phone mast buildings, at the very least? As those rarely, if ever get updated, and have no real reason to be updated as things stand? (Well..unless they're the headquarters of group...but those are pretty rare). And in either case...if anyone wants to report the current status of a building, there's also the "current news/current status" subheadings on the page, too. --Jen 03:34, 7 October 2008 (BST)

...is there any reason why pages such as this can't just be deleted from the wiki? Please? They're clutter. Occasionally-updated utterly useless CLUTTER. Maybe that's not a reason for deleting them...but WHY THE HELL were they created in the first place???? The TRP, yeah, I can understand those. But generic buildings, with NO unique history? WHY???? --Jen 07:56, 7 October 2008 (BST)

Some of the wiki's more betterer contributors, including those over at ALiM are trying to lolify some of the stub locations to improve the wiki for everyone. Unfortunately some people are out to stop the wiki from being a better place, see 2 Cool intro paragraph for more info. Anyway they exist for whenever anyone does need to add something to one.--x o x o 11:24, 7 October 2008 (BST)

Please don't use my Talk page for this, J3D. And, Jen, the wiki is pretty piecemeal and inconsistent... And people don't even update malls regularly, NTs and other resource buildings are even worse... But, unless a number of people decide to get rid of Status Reports for non-descripts (which I support in principle, I think), it's probably just goinf to stay the way it is... --WanYao 13:00, 7 October 2008 (BST)

Hmm...how would one go about rallying support for getting rid of Status Reports for non-descripts? --Jen 22:22, 8 October 2008 (BST)

Just delete them off, i doubt anyone would notice. If they did then tell 'em to update it more often, chances are they'll either oblige or let you delete. Leave NT ones though, some of them are updated from time to time.--x o x o 23:36, 8 October 2008 (BST)

Deleting the "status report" thing off the page would only be a superficial fix. Though not one I'm averse to making. Ideally...I'd want to get rid of all the Status Report templates for non-TRP buildings. (Hmm...if I deleted it off the page...would that then make it an unused template, and viable for deletion? *Jen plots evilly*) --Jen 23:45, 8 October 2008 (BST)

Now you're thinking like an evil genius! Just put the subpages all up for deletion, rally the troops (ie me and wan) to vote, then someone else has to do the work of actually going through and deleting them all. Or just do the unused template way, either works :) --x o x o 12:03, 9 October 2008 (BST)

ALiM's Birthday Party

You've been cordially invited to attend ALiM's birthday party at Club Head at 10am GMT on the 18th of October. Festivities will last for a full 24 hours. See here for more details.--Nallan (Talk) 02:16, 7 October 2008 (BST)

What happened???

Has this ever happened to you before? I couldn't use my FAK. And it ate my last FAK, to boot. --Jen 01:06, 6 October 2008 (BST)

Oo thats cool, was it on the 60hp or the 45? Either way unfortunate your FAK got goned :( --x o x o 01:28, 6 October 2008 (BST)

Hmm...actually, it's not cool, as several of the Philosophes have explained to me. *sigh* I've been inordinately careful about avoiding stuff like this, too...it's NOT MY FAULT! *crosses her fingers, runs far, FAR away, and hopes that she's not cursed for life.* --Jen 03:49, 6 October 2008 (BST)

I have no idea why you're coming to me with this stuff!!! :) --WanYao 13:01, 7 October 2008 (BST)

'Cause your awesome and know cool stuff and doesn't afraid of anything. ;) --Jen 22:21, 8 October 2008 (BST)

UDWiki:Image Categorisation

Come on Wan! Me having to tell you where something is on the wiki? You're slipping old man. What what? --Ross less ne s s^{Want a Location Image?} 21:43, 12 August 2008 (BST)

stressful fucking day. i don't wanna think! ;P

I normally dont even cat the images if they arent being used, and then ask a sysop to delete them after two weeks. Its a scheduled deletion or something--Ross less ne s s^{Want a Location Image?} 22:21, 12 August 2008 (BST)

Category:Unused Images is actually decently helpful. Even if we also have a Special page that does the same thing. It keeps the image out of the way of the other people categorizing images.--Karek^maps?! 22:41, 12 August 2008 (BST)
