Danger Updater!

I am volunteering my alt  •Clover Field • ^talk •MDU to the cause of the Danger updater! I'm working through Judgewood at the moment. I have to stay away from Grigg Heights but my original account can handle that burb.

I'm setting Clover's group as "Danger Updater" to hopefully keep from getting PK'd. Sound good?

Awesome and thanks! I've got my alt DangerUpdater listed with the same group tag. That alt mostly wanders the city as a zombie, but I've gotten combat revived quite a few times in green suburbs anyway. Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 21:13, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

Sounds good then. I'm not usually too concerned other than it impedes tracking zombie/survivor presence at times. Oh! I also made a UDWIki Page outline: Malton Danger Updaters . Once I've got time I can input more design and stuff. -- •Evelyn Emrys•  •[talk]•  18:09, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

I saw that, thanks! I'm also on a time crunch this month (being an adult is hard...) but will hopefully be able to work on it in the next week or two. Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 23:59, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

You said it! adulting is hard!  •Evelyn Emrys•  •[talk]• 20:11, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Ok, just set up Malton Danger Updaters basic page frame. Will comment further on Evelyn's talk page. Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 23:05, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Yo! My main Levi Romero has Gatcombeton covered Levi Romero06:22, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

Sweet! Thank you so much ^_^ Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 09:31, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

A/DE transclusions

I guess it must have been used as a transclusion system to mimic how A/VB used to be done when there was more traffic. At the time there were lots of 'career vandals' who would want de-escalations so I guess it made sense for the time. No need now though I would say. A ZOMBIE ANT 23:02, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

Ehh, no harm's being done. I'll change it over at next year's cycling. Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 09:21, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

Good work. Yeah you're right, no harm done, though it is a comical look into how different things seem to be to how they were 5 years ago! A ZOMBIE ANT 23:09, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

5 years ago there would have been a 3 week long heated discussion, with one Misconduct case against Bob for transcluding it, one for not transcluding it, one against the whole sys-op team but Bob for not stepping in, three semi-related Arbitrations over non-issues during the heated discussions, Woots monthly sys-op bid, another fruitless civility policy discussion because some mean words would be used, and some vandal b&ing against Mis for replacing the template with a duck pic. -- Spiderzed▋ 23:23, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 08:46, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

If you want your actions to come across as Mis-like, you need two more things:

• Much bigger duck picture
• Blatant disregard of the rules when it comes to minor violations.

Allow me to demonstrate with my next edit. ;) —Aichon— 15:46, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Not quite what I was going for. I'm more for littering a trail of tiny than one giant one. Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 03:56, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

What in the actual-?

Dude are we getting spambots again what the hell is this an ad for a real place?? [[1]] Commandant Romero (talk) 11:48, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

Spamoboto uses Spam Attack on UDWiki. It's not very effective. Done. -- Spiderzed▋ 15:57, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks SZ. Yeah, one got through about a week ago too — forgot to list it on the Bots page. I'm unused to them creating a separate page, rather than just their own userpage. Maybe they think it'll get by us better. Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 18:12, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

Signature

Hey, I was wondering, and sorry about the unsigned updates, how do you do the multiple signatures, do you just swap it out in the preferences or is there an easier way? :) Bonersmith (talk) 18:21, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

I assume you mean like Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! and Danger Updater ^MDU•DC? I only use the latter when doing bulk updates, so I actually copy-paste it, then type five tildes (~~~~~) which just adds a timestamp rather than a full signature. The former is just a regular templated sig. Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 19:55, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

Groups

Hey Bob another player and I recently brought Coram back online ingame, and he hasn't played in awhile. He is a member of Coram News Network, and used to be apart of CORAM. At the occasion of the EBS back up we were wanting to restart both of those groups seeing as I think they're inactive. He doesn't know how to use the wiki, I barely can, and even then I don't know the rules that well. I was wondering if we could recombine the two groups back together into CORAM News Network within the game, and the wiki since neither of them have been active. Thanks in advance. --__/Storm\___ «^^^» 22:53, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Replied on your talk page. Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 23:17, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Alright I messaged them, thanks again. --__/Storm\___ «^^^» 00:49, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Okay, Lady Clitoria gave me full permission of anything regarding CORAM, but says she hasn't seen Vapor in a while. So I was wondering whether or not you think I should start working on stuff for CORAM or wait to see if Vapor responds, and allows use of CNN. --__/Storm\___ «^^^» 06:27, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply; I'll be working solely on archiving some of the stuff from CORAM's 'glory days' for now. --__/Storm\___ «^^^» 13:17, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

Cool cool. Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 13:18, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

Spammers

Could use some help. I need to head out. —Aichon— 17:35, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Lemme grab a snack and I'll hop on it. Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 17:50, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. Handing things over to you. —Aichon— 17:57, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome

Thank you very much for reaching out! I am very glad new players are being welcomed. UD seems pretty dead or at least lacks coordination.

Still not sure exactly how active I will be, but about to put a call out to my friends in my gaming group to join me. We did a little initial playthroughs and think we might take up some residency there.

I am still very new to the wiki and how to make it work, so please if you don't mind, can you direct me to some clear-cut user-friendly tutorials on how to use the wiki? I tried to find simplistic guides and was unable to do so.

Thank you for your help!

Recruitment

Hey Bob I just recently finished a recruitment page for CORAM, and I was wondering whether or not you could look it over to see if it's good. I'm not that sure if I formatted it correctly. __/Storm\___ «^^^» 22:13, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

It looks fine to me! You have a lot of flexibility with your recruitment ad, as long as it 1) has no internal headers or other code which breaks the page and 2) is properly labeled, ordered and boxed on the Recruitment page itself. My one recommendation would be you might wand another line or two of text explaining who/what/where CORAM is. Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 22:28, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Alright added it, thanks for the help. --__/Storm\___ «^^^» 22:37, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
