Not that any of you will ever do it, but it's worth disclaimer-ing it to avoid unnecessary A/VB shitepipery.

Happy Birthday

First. --VVV ^RPMBG 05:47, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! (Even if it isn't for a few hours yet ) 22:54, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Axe Hack has cake ready at server reset. This statement may or may not be a lie. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 22:59, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Is that cake neat, or cake on the rocks? 23:00, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Um... *wipes face of cake crumbs* I'll get back to you on that. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 23:27, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

The Wake

Still reckon you should protect it. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 20:24, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Iunno. Put it on A/PM if you want, but it's not likely to be edited. I didn't want to touch it at the time since there was more due to be added to it, but that never came to pass so I guess it won't hurt. 20:25, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Up to you really, Its not personal to me, so its up to you. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 20:27, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

I'd leave it be, then. 20:29, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Mis' BAFTA predictions

Cause they're starting and I'm about to take a shower.

• Film: King's Speech
• Actor: Colin Firth
• Actress: Natalie Portman
• Supporting Actor: Torn, Rush or Bale. Bale's stronger but Rush was in an English film so that's automatic points. Possibly Rush.
• Supporting Actress: Amy Adams
• British Film: Four Lions (I'd say King's Speech but they always pull this one so they can award more films at a time)
• Debut: Morris
• Rising star: Genuinely difficult one. Tom Hardy is the strongest, but he's been going for some time, so I don't know if he'll get the votes. Still my pick though, especially after Bronson.

Mis will likely return from washing to find himself completely wrong (on most counts he hopes to be...) 21:16, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Ah. 4 Lions. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 21:21, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Mis is angered. 04:13, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

i liek the + button

and your zany shanningans to hide it wont work with me --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{[talk] [wcdz]} 04:04, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

You sir are a bastard. 04:12, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

btw, "if you're using an older browser" ? OLDER BROWSER ? I do Google Chrome mah friend, and that browser is up tha shizzan za othar brawser --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{[talk] [wcdz]} 04:20, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Pssh. Blame the Google team for not keeping up with the high demands of my wiki pages. 04:43, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, actually… Mis, much as I like you, I fucking hate this crap. Not only does it not work (I can still click the + just fine), but it fucks up my reading every time I come onto your page. Now, the relevant policy includes the following:

“	The exceptions to this policy would be: Any page that can be shown to have a clear need to violate the policy.	”
—UDWiki:Administration/Policy Discussion/Prohibiting Content Outside of the Normal Page Area

Your “clear need” would be? ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 07:26, 12 April 2011 (BST)

We've had this before. I could find it if I was bothered. My clear need is the stubborn idiocy of users who won't read my God damn talk page rules. 23:30, 12 April 2011 (BST)

So… you think it's perfectly fine to break the functioning of the wiki and breach a policy in doing so, all in an attempt to force people to use some arbitrary and unenforceable talk page “rules” rather than reformat or delete comments on your talk page as is your right?
Ever think of adding a “edit this section, drongos” header with copy+paste-able instructions for people to follow and maybe a highly visible link to it – y'know, making it easier for people to contact you? ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 00:27, 13 April 2011 (BST)

Yes. Yes I do. If "highly visible" worked then the giant lettering up there would obsolete any need for the white space. 01:21, 13 April 2011 (BST)

You're missing the link part. As in, this type of link. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 04:57, 13 April 2011 (BST)

Thanks to the wiki software update, I was able to fix this for you proper-like. You're welcome. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 13:37, 27 April 2011 (BST)

New Sig

Like it. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 20:41, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. Toyed with strikethrough and underline to create a sense of a stave. Wasn't pleased. I like the simplicity of it though. 20:44, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Whoopee

You made a total of two posts communicating with Yon before losing your cool. That's got to be a record or something, eh? For your efforts, I've awarded you with one spin on User:TripleU/Wheel. You got:

	It's Safe...
	Trips has given Mis a giant blender swimming pool for breaking the record of the longest time spent communicating with Yon before flaming. Go ahead, dive in.

You're calling him an "idiot" sealed the deal. More prizes may be available to whichever of you breaks the current record (2) next. --VVV ^RPMBG 01:03, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

I think it was a less loaded term than the erroneous use of "troll" launched my way. Surely the streak contiues for me if I'm not escalating things? (I just really want more blenders...) 01:09, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Nope, you're level of passion must be completely unaffected by his. Kill 'em with kindness. --VVV ^RPMBG 01:11, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

My countrymen aren't exactly noted for tact though. 01:13, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

FFREEEEEEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMM -- ϑ^anceϑ^anceℜ^evolution 01:16, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

That would be Cheese's lot, you. 01:17, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

SHIT. I'm getting mixed up, sorry :( -- ϑ^anceϑ^anceℜ^evolution 01:18, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Uh, Mis, just a heads-up. I think you did this wrong: I'm not sure you actually support tyx94's viewpoint in this. But then, you're a crazy Irishman, so I could be way off. --DT^PK 02:24, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

You are in fact correct, DT. I should put down the turps. 02:35, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

That thing might also break the record for the longest page name of an arbies case evar. -- Spiderzed▋ 21:22, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Axe Hack's Manhunt 4

This is a reminder to you and all the other contestants that AHMH4 begins in exactly one week. Please be in the playing area before the competition begins. Good luck, and happy hunting! --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 01:25, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

holy shit

your page looks sick! now how do i get rid of the white crap at the bottom? i don't even remember where I hosted that image?--

bitch 03:46 15 March 2011 (UTC)

2 can play the WikiJaguar game. I have removed said white crap from said bottom. I changed the background-color from #FFFFFF to silver. There was this on pixel white border thing on the left that took me a few tries to find and get rid of though. ~ _{04:24, 15 March 2011}

Which page? The user page cycles through seven iterations. 05:18, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

I think Harrison's comment about your page was just him buttering you up so that you'd fix his User page header some more. ~ _{05:34, 15 March 2011}

man i cant sneak anything past you two.--

Timeline

Hey, I've taken on too many projects. Care to take over for a while on this timeline that I started. I sort of got the idea from you anyway. I give you, Misanthropy permission to edit that sandbox if ya want to. ~ _{04:24, 15 March 2011}

I'll have a bash but I'm liable to break it. 05:18, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Oh yeah I forgot I was supposed to add editing instructions. You basically alternate between:

 |-
 |
 |
 |
 |<!--Date and Game Update (if applicable)-->'''Date'''
 *(Update)
 |<!--Update Impact-->
 *''(Impact)''
 |<!--Historical Event-->
 *(Event)

and

 |-
 |align=right|<!--Historical Event-->
 *(Event)
 |align=right|<!--Update Impact-->
 *''Impact''
 |align=right|<!--Date and Game Update (if applicable)-->'''(Date)'''
 *(Update) 
 |

Its no big deal if you don't alternate all the time. I was going to go through all the game updates first and then go back and add Historical events. I started to go through Historical Groups as well and was just going to add their creation dates. I'm no historian, though. I just haven't been a part of the community long enough to piece it all together. Then I got sidetracked and just haven't had the drive to go back to this, though I think it's a good project and hate seeing it ignored. ~ _{05:33, 15 March 2011}

I Could Really Do With Your Opinion On The Current Matter

Thoughts? --Ash  ^{|  T  |  яя  |} 23:09, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

hey so you think

it's time for CK to go historical?

Demotion

still sure? I'll do it now. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 20:06, 11 April 2011 (BST)

YES WE HAVE A VIDEO. 20:11, 11 April 2011 (BST)

Ok then, I'll go fire up the demotion machine. Its probably good if I have a practice before I have to use it on Thad. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 20:14, 11 April 2011 (BST)

I think it's best if his is wonderfully dramatic, not smooth and rehearsed. 20:21, 11 April 2011 (BST)

I'm sure I'll be drunk and crying. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 20:22, 11 April 2011 (BST)

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -MHSstaff 20:28, 11 April 2011 (BST)

Noooo! Who are we now gonna meatpuppet to crat? It's not too late to run through A/PM in time for the elections :P -- Spiderzed▋ 20:38, 11 April 2011 (BST)

Warning

Please do not consume more than your body-weight in toffee in, around or on this wiki. Continuing this behaviour may lead to your editing privileges being revoked. Also DevilAsh might stop making sweet love to you. --Karloth Vois ^¯\(°_o)/¯ 12:23, 14 April 2011 (BST)

You were a sysop at the time

Which kinda makes this unnacceptable considering you could see the deleted edit. --Karek^{maps 2.0?!} 23:22, 9 May 2011 (BST)

That's two from you as a sysop too. --Karek^{maps 2.0?!} 23:25, 9 May 2011 (BST)

You've lost me. Did I recreate something that was deleted? Because I can't see if I can. 23:02, 10 May 2011 (BST)

You apparently welcomed a user who had been around for a couple of years, after his page had already been deleted for the same reason, or so the legend goes.--Yonnua Koponen ^{T G P} ^^^ 23:46, 10 May 2011 (BST)

Oh woe is me. What a terrible thing to do. 00:07, 11 May 2011 (BST)

How could you be so HORRIBLE? --Karloth Vois ^¯\(°_o)/¯ 00:27, 11 May 2011 (BST)

I know right, how horrific. Just please use Newbie Contribs in the future when looking for newbies to welcome. --Karek^{maps 2.0?!} 01:47, 11 May 2011 (BST)

Hi Misanthropy! As we can see, you made your first edits to this wiki not long ago. It's OK to be new, and we encourage new blood to join and enrich our community. At the same time, we understand that no one is a perfect wiki editor straight off the bat, and, just in case you get stuck, here're some useful tips to help you out. Please take the time to read them.

General Editing

Never delete someone else's edits, comments, responses, etc. off community pages. To do so is considered vandalism. If you write a comment it's useful to sign it so that other editors will know who wrote it. You can write "~~~~" at the end of your comment to sign it, or there's this button on the top of the edit page that will sign for you if you want. You may want to know how your edits will look before they have been saved, to make sure that nothing is wrong. Use the "Preview" button before the "Save" button - it's your friend! If you're slow in your editing and there's an editing conflict, you might not understand the error that you get. The easiest way to overcome the edit conflict is to copy whatever you have been writing, go back with your browser, and then re-enter the edit page so that you can add your edits without deleting those made before yours. The wiki is a collaborative project, please do your best to work well with fellow editors. Further help for editing the wiki can be found on the Help page.

Project Mentor

Project Mentor has been set up to allow new wiki users to have a more experienced wiki veteran mentor them for the first few weeks. Visit its page for more information!

Your User Page

One of the great things about the wiki is that every user can have his or her own user page! These pages are located in the User: namespace — in other words, they all begin with "User:" (yours is User:Misanthropy). The appropriate place to write about yourself or your characters is on your user page, or a subpage of that page (e.g., User:Misanthropy/Your Character's Name). Please don't create pages about yourself outside the User: namespace. Those pages will be moved into subpages of your user page, and the original speedily deleted. If you want something to be deleted, use the speedy deletion page; that's why Criterion 7 was made.

User Talk Pages

Every user has a talk page, found by clicking the "discussion" link at the top of his or her user page, or by going directly to it (yours would be User talk:Misanthropy). If you have a question for someone, or want to say something to him or her, his or her user talk page is the place. However, many users on the wiki have established specific guidelines for how their user talk pages are to be treated — where new comments should go, how they should be written, what is or is not okay to talk about, etc. Be sure to look for guidelines on the talk page before you leave a comment. If you don't see any guidelines specified, the assumption is that you should place your comment at the bottom of the talk page, under a level 2 heading. This can be accomplished by clicking the "+" link next to the "edit" tab at the top of the talk page, or by manually typing in your message in this format: ==Message title== Your message goes here When replying to a comment already laid on the page, remember to indent it correctly: do it by inserting as many colons plus one to the message you're replying to at the begining of your message, like this: ==Message title== Your message :User's reply ::Your reply

The Suggestions Page

We know that as a new user, you want to share your ideas with us. But a community as big as ours has already seen all kind of suggestions, and it's possible that we've already seen something very similar to the ideas you have. Follow these simple guidelines to make sure that your suggestion gets the respect that it deserves: First of all, read the Suggestions Page's rules. We strongly recommend that you read the Suggestions Dos and Do Nots and the Frequently Suggested Ideas pages so that you will have an idea of what kind of suggestions are likely to be accepted and what kind are ridiculous in the eyes of the community. The pages might look long and time-consuming to read, but you will find them entertaining and helpful. You might also want to look at the Previous Days Suggestions. These contain a record of all previous suggestions. Use the search function in your browser to search for keywords relating to the suggestion you want to make. It may be helpful to wait a few days to get a feel for the wiki and the other users before subjecting your idea to any possible criticism. If you're unsure, the Suggestions Discussion page is good neutral territory to suggest, gather feedback, and refine your idea before officially submitting it. Write your suggestion according to these steps. If it looks too complicated for you, ask for help. You can't modify a suggestion that you've written once it has been posted on the Suggestions page. You can withdraw and resubmit it with changes later, but only do that if people liked your original suggestion while requesting changes, not if it was Spaminated. If you get stuck at ANY point in writing your suggestion, ask for help. There's no shame in being new and after a few times, you'll get the hang of it.

Additional Contacts

If there's anything not covered by this introduction, you still have plenty of avenues to find some extra help. Project Welcome and Project Mentor are perfect starting points, but if you have something more pressing at hand, don't be afraid to get in touch with the administration staff.

Remember: These guidelines may look difficult to learn and follow, but they're mainly just common sense! Think about what you're going to say or do before you do it! If you don't make an effort to do so, then why would others have the obligation to be nice to you? Feel free to ask any Project Welcome member if you need help, that's our purpose anyways!

If you want to delete this text, just delete the {{Welcomenewbie}} line from your talk page. Remember that you can always have access to these tips on the Project Welcome/Welcomenewbie page.--Karloth Vois ^¯\(°_o)/¯ 02:53, 11 May 2011 (BST)

No, no, Karl, you're doing it wrong… ||||||||||||||||||||||||

I have noticed that you didn't have a talk page and were eligible for being welcomed by members of our staff. But, checking the number and date of your contributions, I decided to just point you towards the template itself and offer you my help whenever you ask for it. Feel free to stop at Project Welcome/Welcomenewbie if you want a useful array of tips, Help:Contents and the detailed help down here if you want a deeper insight on how a wiki works. Also, use my talk page whenever you have any question about wiki technicalities and/or the specific rules that pertain this particular wiki. See yah!

Nice work breaking the diff; I've… never seen that happen before. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 00:31, 25 May 2011 (BST)

MMAs

Hey since you're a bit active again, think you'll be heading up MMAs this year? Aren't they usually during late summer/early fall? Need help? ~ _{14:45, 30 May 2011 (UTC)}

+1 also this year the panel of judges should only rule if there is a tie in voting. i think some people were robbed last time around. --User:Sexualharrison14:46, 30 May 2011 (bst)

Although last year was a massive cockup, I think they should have ant-meatpuppetry this year.--Yonnua Koponen ^{T G P} ^^^ 15:55, 30 May 2011 (BST)

Last year was the anti-puppet option. Glad to see everyone appreciated that. I have a few ideas for how to do it this time round, but it'll not be until about August or so. I think from now on it's going to have to be a fellowship voting kind of thing, like real life awards ceremonies. What I do need, though, is feedback on the actual award categories themselves. 17:00, 30 May 2011 (BST)

We need some of olde revived, especially "Most witty PKer", "Best-dressed PKer" and "Services to the Industry". Also don't forget the BHers this year, at least it provides us with a broader audience. -- Spiderzed█ 17:08, 30 May 2011 (BST)

yeah I'm with SZ on reviving the old awards. besides that the awards were fine (though I was heartborken to see manhunt not win regardless of whether it should have or not) -- ϑ^anceϑ^anceℜ^evolution 13:55, 2 June 2011 (BST)

Yeah, it's just that last year the judges just picked who they wanted to win, rather than actually just seeing who would have won without puppetry.--Yonnua Koponen ^{T G P} ^^^ 13:53, 2 June 2011 (BST)

UD wiki awards

u in to judge code judge? --User:Sexualharrison23:22, 31 May 2011 (bst)

Aye sure. 14:53, 1 June 2011 (BST)

JOY!--User:Sexualharrison15:09, 1 June 2011 (bst)

also what happened to ya userpage? it's gone?--User:Sexualharrison12:04, 2 June 2011 (bst)

Looks like Template:CURRENTDOW has gone, denying the switch its input. As there is no default case, it displays no userpage at all. -- Spiderzed█ 12:08, 2 June 2011 (BST)

There's also the fact that one of the possible userpages the template produces is a fake message for an empty page. The system links are links to my userspace pages. 13:20, 2 June 2011 (BST)

sneaky! so any thoughts on how to proceed?--User:Sexualharrison14:05, 2 June 2011 (bst)

Set up an IRC room, or some other off-site means of privacy, and let everyone who's judging give you their votes. You tally those bananas and announce winners. 14:15, 2 June 2011 (BST)
