  • My militant zombie alt Zombuddha finds you to be a worthy opponent. BARHAH! Buddhagazelle 14:17, 29 May 2007 (BST)
  • I must concur with Zombuddha. Your comment to me is immensely flattering, although I'm afraid I cannot claim coordination with blackthornwhatsit. (I do hope he's not zerging--that's a sad state of affairs if he is.) Hope to see you next time I'm in your neck of Malton! --Vandr 22:04, 18 July 2007 (BST)

COL

Got your message. I'm interested in what you may have in mind. You got a link to your brainstock threads, or posts? --The Envoy 00:20, 24 July 2007 (BST)

Yup. You can check out the thread here. The general idea is in the first post, but there are some good questions down the line if you feel like wading through all the bullshit. What I'm trying to do now is come up with a framework and get some support from independent parties and smaller groups (non-egomaniacs interested in the bigger picture). If you know anyone who fits that description, by all means pass the word. --Paddy Dignam 03:28, 24 July 2007 (BST)
I'll mention it around my digs, but really I think you and Sonny are talking about the same thing, just Sonny's a bit more authoritarian or a badge-fetishizing, while you think the job can be done with no stinkin' badges. I don't see how either system improves upon the way things are coordinated via Brainstock or the New Malton Collossus. There's a shared mindset you and Sonny have that this game can somehow be "won". Maybe back in Sonny's day when there were far less players, and comms were limited to just a few boards, areas could be heavily secured. Then isn't now.--The Envoy 06:31, 26 July 2007 (BST)
Anybody who thinks the game can be won is delusional. This isn't about winning, it's about getting more people involved. It's about paying less attention to "glorious battles" and more attention to the suburbs without Blackmore Buildings. How many groups are in the NMC? Would the NMC ever respond to a crisis in, say, Starlingtown? Having another board isn't the point. Hell, Brainstock would probably work just fine, although I don't think it's secure enough for this sort of thing (and I think having a neutral site is wiser). The idea is to get folks to think, at least in part, beyond the 10x10 square they grew up in. --Paddy Dignam 19:35, 26 July 2007 (BST)

DRRP Template

I've started working on a group template for the DRRP in my sandbox Paddy, if you want to take a look and tell me what you think I can set it up as a normal template really easily. Drop me a line either here in reply or on my talk page to let me know what you think. the one, the only, sushiknight (talk contribs HARD E.N.D.) 17:07, 25 July 2007 (BST)

Gah, almost didn't see your comment hidden -in- my sandbox like that. Henh. Easier to leave a message on my talk page next time :D. I moved the template into the template userspace already! Template:DRRPsmall Call it with {{DRRPsmall|User=Your Name HERE}} to get what's below.the one, the only, sushiknight (talk contribs HARD E.N.D.) 01:59, 2 August 2007 (BST)

Paddy Dignam likes to get drunk with the DRRP.
Under the My preferences tab you can set it to see anything that was posted on one of your pages you have watched or made. I do this just so I don't miss any msg.--XxPale HorsexX 12:43, 2 August 2007 (BST)

What you saw was my shotgun, and I'll chalk that up to your optical nerves being chewed up too many times. --ZuluDeacon 00:53, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Props from the Feral Undead

We are well met! As someone who has stuck around this goofy game for awhile, it’s refreshing to find groups who still play the game with a sense of humor - it is what makes this whole thing fun. I am glad we stumbled across you fine folks and am more than happy to play along. R33F3RM4N mentioned the possibility of a zombie karaoke session - I am sure that would generate interest within the Feral Undead.--Priapus 02:24, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

RE: Signature

Fonts? Hmm, I don't all of the ones that work. It depends on the browser though. They work in some, but not others. Here are a few I know off the top of my head:

Zapfino

Cracked <-- no work in IE

Arial

Courier New

Georgia

Times New Roman

Verdana

Trebuchet MS

Lucida Sans

Sans-Serif

Serif

Monospace

Cursive

Fantasy

Anything else? --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 18:41, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

I copied from Wikipedia. :P You could try some others from MS, but I don't know how many would work. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 18:48, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
I don't think it's an IE thing, probably just a "What fonts does the user have installed?" thing. So you can only be guaranteed the stock stuff under stock names. "Cracked" works for me, because I have it installed, however, it's under the name "Crackhouse" and so you have to call it by that name to get it to work. I can get one of my custom fonts to show, but I doubt anybody else would have it. So yeah, stick to stock otherwise your font will default to TNR. -- User:The Rooster RoosterDragon User talk:The Rooster 19:09, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
Will do. I found a font I like and will now see how long it takes me to make a signature without (1) pulling out all my hair, or (2) blowing up the wiki. Thanks again. --Paddy Dignam 19:21, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
