Contribs 20:27, 12 November 2010 (UTC) I can't think of anything clever to say. 22:33, 12 November 2010 (UTC) Duck Hunt Do you still plan on running the Duck Hunt event? If I run an event starting the second week of February, will it interfere with your plans? ~ 17:18, 19 November 2010 (UTC) Manhunt Interview So the interview is located here and here. Feel free to change how you want your name to be represented or anything else in your answers. I went with Ross because I don't like typing a lot. I might change the order around a little and how much is on the main page, and how much spills over, but for the most part it will look like this. Thanks again for all your help. I stole your Manhunt Marathon image because it seems to be the current "big thing" in Manhunt. If you would like us to promote a different Manhunt event, please feel free to change the image or the text underneath the image. Or if you don't, we can erase it as well. -MHSstaff 18:57, 20 November 2010 (UTC) Mudkip Hunt There's a week left, so this is to remind you to meet at The Roger Arms, Penny Heights if alive, or Junkyard 98,76 if dead, Penny Heights, 3 days before the competition begins. DJSpinbad will be at that location to confirm you are there when the competition begins. Those who do not arrive will be disqualified. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 20:31, 23 November 2010 (UTC) I seem to have lost track of your character.

No head starts. ;) --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 00:15, 26 November 2010 (UTC) Dezonus A/PM Hey. I'm not willing to vouch for Dezonus' candidacy, I don't think he's ready, and I think the feedback from the community reflects this. What are your thoughts? -- LEMON #1 00:25, 24 November 2010 (UTC) Bar Fight! Round One is now over, and you have correctly placed a bet on the victor. Please claim your prize here. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 21:01, 29 November 2010 (UTC) Double or quits! --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 21:05, 29 November 2010 (UTC) If you want a rematch, I'll get to talking with Zensaga about it. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 21:14, 29 November 2010 (UTC) Zen doesn't want a rematch. So a rematch is currently out of the question. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 21:16, 29 November 2010 (UTC) No, round 2. Whoever that's between --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 21:47, 29 November 2010 (UTC) Yea...I just noticed the timestamp of your bet for Round Two...I struck it since you missed the deadline. By about 15 hours. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 22:18, 29 November 2010 (UTC) Then round 3! --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 22:44, 29 November 2010 (UTC) Arby Oh,... I have to tell him about the arbitration for it to be taken seriously? -EstacadoTalk 23:50, 1 December 2010 (UTC) While the wiki community attempts to work on the basis of encouragement and cooperation, there are occasions where wiki users find themselves unable to reach accord. In the event of this happening, the Arbitration Team may be called upon to intervene, and attempt to find a reasonable compromise that, while perhaps not satisfying both parties, may at least assist in defusing the situation, thanks to the unbiased third party. Show me anywhere you tried to reach accord on this. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 11:10, 2 December 2010 (UTC) Dammit, I told that bitch to Prepare!!! -EstacadoTalk 23:48, 2 December 2010 (UTC) Uh huh. And for what? 00:29, 3 December 2010 (UTC) The astonishing truth!!! -EstacadoTalk 00:22, 4 December 2010 (UTC) Where the hell are you? I expect a response to everthing I say, wether it's a dignified one or not,... or if bananaz rain errands supreme pizza during discourse augmentaion... and bullocks! -EstacadoTalk 01:05, 5 December 2010 (UTC) There's something called patience. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 01:07, 5 December 2010 (UTC) There's also something called a condom, but apparently not everyone uses them,... ie, cornhole. -EstacadoTalk 03:26, 5 December 2010 (UTC) I get mine from the pope. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 09:26, 5 December 2010 (UTC) He's cool with them now. He just now also needs to be cool with everything else the civilised world has already come to terms with. 18:54, 5 December 2010 (UTC) That would be an ecumenical matter. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 18:56, 5 December 2010 (UTC) Yes. 18:56, 5 December 2010 (UTC) No. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 19:01, 5 December 2010 (UTC) I thought that was only on nights and weekends,.... -EstacadoTalk 15:23, 6 December 2010 (UTC) Tough Luck Guess this makes me the last UDwiki guy left around? Who got you?--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 16:01, 3 December 2010 (UTC) Dazed.

Timstro's dead, we might stand a chance.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 12:56, 4 December 2010 (UTC) Thats the trouble with being unaffiliated.

A lot of survivors died as a result. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 18:15, 7 December 2010 (UTC) Hello again Hey there Ross. Long time, no see. How've you been doing? Are you still active or interested in the Unemplementia map? --TheBardofAwesome 01:07, 10 December 2010 (UTC) Hello? --TheBardofAwesome 10:11, 12 January 2011 (UTC) Pst! Instead of writing here first, you should check your PMs on OBR/404's forums! But since you did write something, I may as well throw in "Rosslessness" as a future potential character. ;) --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 21:57, 14 December 2010 (UTC) Just read it. Yeah, sure, whatever. As long as there's no pictures discovered of me riding bicycles. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 22:30, 14 December 2010 (UTC) Was just looking around I was doing some reading, and it looks like the Battle of Krinks was due for un-protecting awhile ago. Mind you, I'm mentioning it here, rather than on A/PT, because I'm not filing a formal request to have it un-protected. I'm merely pointing out that it was due as a courtesy of sorts, but if I had my druthers, I'd just leave it protected indefinitely since I'd rather not see that can of worms reopened again. —Aichon— 04:48, 15 December 2010 (UTC) Duck Hunting Zerging Allegations Resensitized have bought up zerging issues with your ducks.

Let me hve a few hours. Im going to re read everything. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 14:05, 8 January 2011 (UTC) I'm happy to re-evaluate him. I'm willing to assume the brain explosions he's had in the last few days were just a product of the stress of exams, he said he'd have some around this time, same shit happened to me on wiki all the time. As for the checkuser, he usually has the good sense to back down when he's told en masse that he's wrong, like the incident when he complained about you. I don't think the community wants him out just yet, so I'm for cycling it as successful for sure. You can do it if you like, I might when I get home. -- LEMON #1 00:42, 9 January 2011 (UTC) Thanks. Given it a cycle with a hopefully decent analysis -- LEMON #1 14:50, 9 January 2011 (UTC) I think... ...you need a cup of joe since you did it not once, but twice. ;) --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 17:28, 8 January 2011 (UTC) Voting on new 404 applicants Hey there, hope everything has been alright with you!

Anyway, I agree with your statements. So is there any way you can send a message on my behalf to get me unblocked from sending PMs or possibly point me to an off forum person so I can request it myself? Thanks, man. ~ 17:43, 12 January 2011 (UTC) Actually nevermind I see that I have to reach 10 edits before I'm trusted to the point of replying to PMs. Time to spam it up, I guess. ~ 17:46, 12 January 2011 (UTC) Post on the warhammer forum.

He'd made a user account when he made that edit. Just on the last one though, the one's before that were fine. =p Just to give you the heads up. -- Cheese 20:07, 15 January 2011 (UTC) Hmm indeed ... Luckily for me the VGA zerg army is more an open and shut case of zerging ... just on a ridiculous scale. ~ 19:25, 18 January 2011 (UTC) An Fak? What? Fak, fak is both singular and begins with a Fer sound (as in rhymes with flak.) as opposed to an ef sound. Unless he's calling it an F.A.K. it should be A fak. Although the an H. thing is probably correct. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 02:21, 22 January 2011 (UTC) "Acronyms read letter-by-letter in most of the world."[1] I pronounce it 'fack' as well, but it is an acronym, and we don't want to leave out the clusless newbs who don't get the 'FAK yourself' joke and think it's just an innocent abbreviation. --VVV RPMBG 02:28, 22 January 2011 (UTC) Acronym. FAK. Eff-Ay-Kay. As a one-syllable word, it would be fak, or Fak. H thing is correct if the letter is pronounced aitch, though it's usually pronounced haitch over here. 02:30, 22 January 2011 (UTC) Only by fools. And no one in the world uses the phrase "F.A.K." Its a Fak. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 02:34, 22 January 2011 (UTC) I call them Eff-Ay-Kays occasionally, actually... —Aichon— 02:43, 22 January 2011 (UTC) Same number of syllables as the words they stand for, but less well known. Why? --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 02:45, 22 January 2011 (UTC) Quicker to type. I don't dictate my posts, after all. 02:49, 22 January 2011 (UTC) Err, I was just offering a pronunciation for how I refer to the abbreviation "FAK". Sometimes it's as eff-ay-kay, and sometimes it's as fack. I don't ever actually spell it out like that unless I'm describing the pronunciation. —Aichon— 03:16, 22 January 2011 (UTC) I was hoping I could get your help I'm wanting to give a try at restarting the BBC. But I have a problem, I can't find where we placed the newsbox template we made. I'm hoping that it's not protected, but can you help me find {{BBCNewsBox}}. Thanks in advance. --Les Nessman 01:05, 24 January 2011 (UTC) Template:BBCNewsBox. You've maybe forgotten to add the "Template:" bit before its name, it's a common enough mistake. 01:10, 24 January 2011 (UTC) Yep, that was my problem. Been away from the wiki long enough that I forgot all of the tricks. Thanks for the help Misanthropy. --Les Nessman 03:20, 24 January 2011 (UTC) tomorow get ready for a toughie with cheese :( -- ϑanceϑanceℜevolution 02:49, 25 January 2011 (UTC) Sacrafice ‎ In-voluntary Offerings Thanks to Mits, I was offered up to the Chilean Blob. --TCAPD(╯°□°)╯ ┻━┻ 23:39, 25 January 2011 (UTC) YEAHHHH! --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 23:41, 25 January 2011 (UTC) ...

Not a lot of drama at the moment (not that I miss it). I just noticed that when I was speedy'ing pages that sometimes the deletion comment was filled in and sometimes not. I thought maybe it had something to do with deleting from the page its history page (I'm making sure to check history before each deletion) but that does not seem to be the case. It happens sometimes when deleting normally. Just an oddity, I suppose. ~ 20:30, 27 January 2011 (UTC) If certain circumstances are fulfilled (e.g. the page is short) then it'll fill it in for you.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 14:05, 28 January 2011 (UTC) Mystery solved. Thanks, Yon. ~ 14:21, 28 January 2011 (UTC) A hypothetical question... Yo. Just appealing to your knowledge of all things wiki here. If I were hacking on yet another UD toy, and I wanted some wiki page automatically updated from me own server, would it be okay to create a wiki user who would not actually be a person, but a robot, which would edit some page or pages under its own wiki user space once a day? Hypothetically, like. --Sophie ◆◆◆ CAPD 20:56, 27 January 2011 (UTC) Yeah, nothing wrong with that. As long as the bot doesn't go on a rampage! -- ϑanceϑanceℜevolution 23:44, 27 January 2011 (UTC) Oh cheers DDR. Yeah if I were doing something like this, I would be very very careful ^_^ --Sophie ◆◆◆ CAPD 00:11, 28 January 2011 (UTC) Robots terrify me, but Rooster already makes use of them so they're established as perfectly grand. 12:50, 28 January 2011 (UTC) Yeah, Go mad. Hows the other thing going? --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 16:35, 28 January 2011 (UTC) Not good. Been through aliens, ghosts (yes bloody ghosts, fancy a proton pack?) and back to zeds. Meh. Map is running, sort of. I wish I had more time for making shiny things -_- --Sophie ◆◆◆ CAPD 01:34, 29 January 2011 (UTC) NYPD Blue The game designer is on BRWiki. He left you a message. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 22:19, 28 January 2011 (UTC) Wotan's templar Have just seen that you have deleted them, probably as part of the vandalism by the suspected Cornhole sockpuppets. However, they are on the stats page. Unless Cornhole has really worked on his alt army, it's maybe someone else? -- Spiderzed▋ 13:15, 29 January 2011 (UTC) Reading the contents of the page (check recent changes) with its naming of corn specifically I'm fairly confident. Plus his targetting of A/A A/VB, the user pages of users specifically involved in the battle of Krinks, Krinks itself, groups involved in the battle of krinks, his history of zerging, his use of open proxies and my own gut feeling, I'm sure that its very easy for Corn to create ten alts. Oh. And this is fairly damning. http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1671228 But keep on poking me. One day I'll abuse my power. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 13:22, 29 January 2011 (UTC) and these two, http://urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1712226 http://urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1718073. Note the obvious similarity? --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 13:25, 29 January 2011 (UTC) Oh, I didn't mean that it is A/M-worthy - even if it was a misjudgement, the surrounding heap of obvious vandalism and the quick need to undo it would excuse it as wrist-slap stuff. But interesting findings. Looking forward to Google's next caching of UD profiles to learn who the remainder are... -- Spiderzed▋ 13:32, 29 January 2011 (UTC) I know spider. For once we've got a fairly accountable bunch of sops, and a fairly good second tier of users, like yourself with good procedural and wiki knowledge. Long may it continue. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 13:34, 29 January 2011 (UTC) Thing Something different, is there a reason why every promotion category (successful, unsuccessful, unaccepted etc..) has a chronological list except this one?--Thadeous Oakley Talk 14:22, 30 January 2011 (UTC) you mean the template? --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 14:25, 30 January 2011 (UTC) yeah, the "in chronological order" one. Upon further inspection, Unaccepted has a chronological list without the template. --Thadeous Oakley Talk 14:28, 30 January 2011 (UTC) Well add one then! --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 14:29, 30 January 2011 (UTC) I fixed Unaccepted. I wasn't sure, thus why I asked. As for this one, well I can't back out now, but it's going to be fun figuring out the correct time order...--Thadeous Oakley Talk 14:34, 30 January 2011 (UTC) No point. The sub sections list all the individuals, and the main is just an alphabetical list. Who can't work out your third bid came after your second?--RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 14:36, 30 January 2011 (UTC) Yeah, that I can do, but the main one will also be chronological ordered just like the sub cats. I'll probably start with copying the template from Successful bids, since that's the largest one, and then manually check the dates on the other bids and enter them in the template.--Thadeous Oakley Talk 14:47, 30 January 2011 (UTC) old project of mine, organising all promotions into a table so they could be sortable alphabetical, by date, or by result. Never bothered with it once I realised it probably wasn't worth the effort though. -- ϑanceϑanceℜevolution 23:47, 30 January 2011 (UTC) Oh dear. That big one you're making now is gonna get messy :| -- ϑanceϑanceℜevolution 23:48, 30 January 2011 (UTC) Yeah I know, and I'm only halfway. Once I get all the names, I'll make sure to come up with something that looks a bit more appealing though. --Thadeous Oakley Talk 23:53, 30 January 2011 (UTC) Troll Probably best not to bother feeding him.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 22:52, 1 February 2011 (UTC) where's the fun in that? Not voting? --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 22:53, 1 February 2011 (UTC) I brought the case, so I think there's an implicit Vandalism, and there's some ambiguity (stupidly) about whether I can or not. Doesn't matter though, because after a couple more sysops turn up, it'll be done anyway.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 22:54, 1 February 2011 (UTC) Drop the weapon and put your hands on your head! There's a Hudson Duster member in the Pawn shop on Houston St and Mott St (just keep going east from the Police Station). I'm scared because I'm APed inside it and the guy is Lv23. Save me, ObiRoss Kenolessness. You're my only hope. >_> --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 02:15, 2 February 2011 (UTC) thadeous oakley Oh yay, now we get to have this discussion. Here's my piece: community is pretty divided, I am very surprised to note the gnomes being in support of mistergame en masse and the others mostly against, thought it would be a bit more opposite. Like earlier, personally I don't have a problem with promoting thadeous, he's demonstrated to the community the exact type of user he would be as an op and most of the regulars are more than happy with that. -- ϑanceϑanceℜevolution 05:44, 7 February 2011 (UTC) Let me go away and think about this. I have my concerns. As for that other thing you Emailed me about, I have no problem with you pursuing it, although I'm apathetic. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 12:13, 7 February 2011 (UTC) Okay good. I didn't intend for help, just an opinion on it. -- ϑanceϑanceℜevolution 12:15, 7 February 2011 (UTC) Actually, out of interest, how do you personally check to see if an IP is a proxy?? -- ϑanceϑanceℜevolution 12:15, 7 February 2011 (UTC) IP Checker sites. There's also a couple of sites that set up pages and records IP's that are linked with spammers. Google in some cases. Technology is pretty easy. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 12:18, 7 February 2011 (UTC) O.k. My concern is that Thads contributions to the wiki are wide but shallow. He gets involved with everything, but rarely takes a "leadership" role in creating stuff. His big project of the year appears to be a table listing promotion bids in order. If you compare his bid with say, the last successful bid, the support received is less, the community, is split. There are outstanding concerns. You want to promote him? Maybe. Convince me one way or the other. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 12:31, 7 February 2011 (UTC) I'm indifferent either way, but I'd like to be assured your views are more a reflection of the communities' say than your personal opinion. As I've said on the bid, I'm personally not exactly convinced he'd make a reliable sysop but the vouches predominantly come from people like me who have seen Thad's whole portfolio from the start, and none of that seems to bother them. Do I think promoting him under these circumstances is pretty crappy? Personally I think it is a bit. I think there tends to be a lowering of standard by the community, for a user who runs for the second or third time or so, and coming from a person that just did more for his second bid, I'm a bit disappointed by it but now I'm just being a bitch. I've seen users promoted with less support, and rejected with more support. Up to us and I don't mind either way but you have veto power if you feel it's within reason to use it, and unless its in extreme cases, I'll always be more than happy to respect it. As should Thad if he wants to maturely consider the position a possibility in the future. -- ϑanceϑanceℜevolution 12:58, 7 February 2011 (UTC) Just to conclude because I realised I never actually made a decision. Essentially I'm for, but still, the above shit I wrote is very important in explaining my reasoning. -- ϑanceϑanceℜevolution 13:01, 7 February 2011 (UTC) Hell, if it was my opinion I'd just flat out say no! I hate to say it, but some people's votes hold more weight with me than others. I'm swung very strongly be Spiderzeds vote, and much less so by C Whitty. And his answer to my final question about leadership could have well been replaced by a mudkip and been as useful. The sysop community is split, and if it wasn't for a few votes by people I think are amazing wikizens I feel we wouldn't be having this discussion. But anyway. Personally its a no from me, but a fair number of people want to give him a go. Frankly. (And its completely without precedent) I'd love to give him the position and re-evaluate his ass in three months. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 13:44, 7 February 2011 (UTC) lol. We could always bully him into it. Really though I don't think it's entirely necessary. -- ϑanceϑanceℜevolution 23:28, 7 February 2011 (UTC) Not that it's my place or anything but didn't you guys bitchslap Jerrel down for suggesting a shorter-term/differently-governed op position? 23:30, 7 February 2011 (UTC) It's not. and it was probably for him being a retard -- ϑanceϑanceℜevolution 23:33, 7 February 2011 (UTC) ^This. So, I've raised some points. DDR. Promote or not? --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 19:52, 8 February 2011 (UTC) You can force a re-evaluation through arbies, if he agrees to it.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 20:50, 8 February 2011 (UTC) Perhaps, but Its not really resolving the issue. I'm personally against the bid, but I feel the community is split, whereas DDR thinks the community wants a yes, but is apathetic about actual promotion. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 20:54, 8 February 2011 (UTC) Oh yeah, but it's completely beyond me to comment on that. I was merely stating that if you did want to enforce a shorter term (as you considered above), there was a way that you could enforce it.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 21:01, 8 February 2011 (UTC) Arbitration is for dispute resolution, not for establishing contracts... As for the point ross, I still feel the same way about the promotion, the more active and central users of the community are generally the ones saying yes. -- ϑanceϑanceℜevolution 21:25, 8 February 2011 (UTC) Ok. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 21:34, 8 February 2011 (UTC) less indents.

But that one got me thinking: Rosslessness said: I'd love to give him the position and re-evaluate his ass in three months. I think some Sys-Op on Probation clause with a shortened tenure could serve a valuable purpose to cover disputed cases as Thad's or Cheese's RE. Rather than to just have the options of "Yes, and now we are stuck with you for 8 friggin' months" or "No, and now bugger off to re-apply in a half year", a "Yes, but you better do well the next three months" could give the crats a middle-ground option and especially help with candidates who promise future activity. Would of course need some more bells and whistles to avoid abuse like repeated Probationary Sys-Op tenures, but before I put it up on A/PD, I better plug you current crats to see if you think that it would be a worthwhile idea. (DDR is free to chime in here - didn't send him a separate message as I expect him to watch your talk anyway, and to cut down on the risk of the same discussion being led in two separate places at once.) -- Spiderzed▋ 21:15, 9 February 2011 (UTC) Frankly I think it should be compulsory. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 21:17, 9 February 2011 (UTC) Oh and you might want to ask the guy who has been crat pretty much permanently over the last few years as well, the wonderful mr box. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 21:20, 9 February 2011 (UTC) long live the box --People's Commissar Hagnat [talk] [wcdz] 03:15, 10 February 2011 (UTC) all hail boxy!----sexualharrison ¯\()/¯ 03:25, 11 February 2011 (UTC) It's an interesting idea... but I would rather limit the powers of "probationary sysops", than to force early reevaluations on them. Perhaps they can get all the buttons, but don't get a say on A/VB and A/M cases? They can still do all the janitorial work of sysops, and if they want to have a say in the drama beds later on (after your suggested 3 months, perhaps) they can do so through the reevaluation process. Not all "probies" might want the extra powers/responsibilities, and can remain at the probationary level if they wish But basically, I don't think that more frequent reevaluations is the way to go (even if it's just once). Major problems can be handled via misconduct, minor problems, well they are the lifeblood of the wiki (where would we be without teh drama? ), and we just get on with it -- boxy talk • teh rulz 00:32 13 February 2011 (BST) This would be better than the forced A/RE. A/RE will just make newer sysops weaker and be more inclined to just be crowd pleasers rather than be bold ops, which sometimes is necessary. The first few months are pretty unfamiliar and difficult anyway. It'd make it too much of a popularity contest imo. -- ϑanceϑanceℜevolution 00:54, 13 February 2011 (UTC) My thought on PSO was less to make probation dependent on being new, but rather on being disputed - essentially, a "yes, but" card for cases when community input is unclear. Completely new ops might be more often heavily disputed than those who've already served a tenure and have shown that they know the ropes - but not always, as most recently seen with Vapor, who was overall well-accepted despite being new. I can see some merit in a buffer between promotion and power over the drama sections for certain new op candidates, but for RE (as in, say, Cheese's RE), it wouldn't really make sense. -- Spiderzed▋ 01:23, 13 February 2011 (UTC) Cheese's A/RE wasn't really such a big issue though, ross and I agreed on the demotion and there was little response from the community that would suggest it was a wholly unwanted decision. -- ϑanceϑanceℜevolution 02:04, 13 February 2011 (UTC) I don't like the idea of singling out "dodgy" sysop applicants, and telling them they are under suspicion. If they're dodgy enough to warrent special attention, then the 'crats should just reject -- boxy talk • teh rulz 07:12 13 February 2011 (BST) I agree with this. If sysops were probationary, it would be for every new promotion, not just those that were "dodgy". Simply put I'd change the re-evaluation policy to read. "After their initial promotion all sysops would be probationally reviewed after 3 months." --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 09:59, 13 February 2011 (UTC) I still think that's a slightly shitty idea. Making them accountable for their first 3 months is not a good thing. We shouldn't be encouraging sysops to keep a low profile or keep out of opinionated discussions where (or too an extent that) they may be needed, for fear of being seen as 'unworthy'. -- ϑanceϑanceℜevolution 13:12, 13 February 2011 (UTC) Cheese was IMHO heavily contested between those who had no hope in his activity improving, and the optimists who assumed he could make a Rocky-like return. But that's just an arbitrary example that could as well be replaced by Yon's RE (where recognition of his janitorial workload conflicted with the checkuser incident and some weird A/VB drama). -- Spiderzed▋ 22:25, 14 February 2011 (UTC) Interesting. We have now two completely different ideas floating around (shortened tenure vs all buttons, no opinion page say), and two different trigger ideas (compulsory for new ops vs option for disputed candidates). Don't think that I'll get everyone on the same page looking at that, so for now at least I will refrain from pursuing that idea further. -- Spiderzed▋ 22:25, 14 February 2011 (UTC) Duck Hunt Question.

There's a suggestion that needs cycling. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 14:48, 13 April 2011 (BST) out of respect for you and DDR i will not butt into important crat discussions since you explained the reasons why. we do need a measure of transparency for you all to remain as trusted users. thad, go cry me a river. or step down now and save us all the trouble.-- The preceding signed comment was added by these amazing looking bitch 14:52 13 April 2011 (UTC) Yeah. I'm not trying to be personal and I'm not trying to be elitist, neither of those things are attitudes I feel are appropriate, but it's just the way me and ross do things and it's a talk that realistically will only be fulfilled by crats unless pressing or important information may need to be brought forward by a user (which is fine obvs) but personal things arent the stuff I desire in this discussion. -- ϑanceϑanceℜevolution 16:21, 13 April 2011 (BST) Hit up cheese in the penis (ie promoted him) too.

A question - the NecroNet scans only count zombies that haven't taken a step since they were last scanned, right? The DNA Extractor wiki entry seems to imply this, and friggin' common sense tells me that's how it works, since you get to rescan a zombie every time it moves from a space (or even moves from it, then back to it). But it's never explicitly stated that that's how the NecroNet works. (The NecroNet wiki entry is even more useless on this matter than the DNA Extractor entry). Does it do something other than this? Like maybe consider a zombie to still be on the square it was last scanned, until a) the zombie is rescanned again, b) the zombie dies, c) the server resets, d) other, e) any combination of the above? Why isn't something so rudimentary as this clearly stated in either of these main entries???? And...err...I'm assuming that NecroNet doesn't follow the steps of a scanned zombie as it walks around the suburb. (Based on the fact that the wiki entry says the DNA Extractor uploads the coordinates of the zombie, not the zombie itself). Still, would do any harm to actually just say that in the entry? I was about to add a sentence, but figured I should probably get a second opinion (and confirmation that I actually assumed correctly) first. :/ --Jen 21:57, 20 August 2011 (BST) For that matter, the wiki says is that it can't be scanned again until it takes "an action." Is this really the case? I didn't think stuff like groaning or hitting something could reset the scan. (And what about going into a building or out of a building? The coordinates are the same, but does it count as a resetting move?)--Jen 22:09, 20 August 2011 (BST) Here's some discussion, the standard used to be extractor reset at 1 BST. There was some belief that that was changed and the page was probably updated based on that but I've never seen proof of that claim. Necronet resets on extractor changes iirc, otherwise it's possible that the scans are by location when scanned then reset at day change since that'd make more practical sense. --Karekmaps 2.0?! 05:29, 22 August 2011 (BST) A belated thanks. :) Once Kbank settles back down to its usual green and survivors are back to having more AP then they know what to do with, I'll see if I can get a KT or two to run some tests on me.

Just categorize anything you want to save as Category:Pages to Preserve and one of us (or all of us if we want) can use Special:Export to save it. It's just a matter of determining which pages we want to preserve. ~ 18:23, 9 November 2011 (UTC) Its just the histories that will be destroyed, not the pages, so theres probably not a lot we need to do. Perhaps a few image revisions, but nothing major this time. --Like Moss and The Dude..... 21:24, 9 November 2011 (UTC) Yeah I did Misconduct. I'd hate to lose the history of Grim coup or Wikigate. Spidey did VB archives. Those were the only two admin pages where it seemed worth the effort. Now it's high traffic or highly vandalised pages we're trying to decide on. I don't think it will be too earth shattering if we lose too much but it will be nice to hang on to some things. ~ 21:44, 9 November 2011 (UTC) I will think. Karek checked everything last time.

I'd still like to back up my contribs if I can. Contibs is tied to history, though and so when history is wiped so are contribs. I may do something with copypasta or page source. Or I may just stop worrying about it and go with it. ~ 00:01, 10 November 2011 (UTC) Pages that have content cycled out may be worth keeping, just for later reference. DS would be one such example, though I don't know how worthwhile its old content is. —Aichon— 02:53, 11 November 2011 (UTC) Not very. I had the same idea and came to the conclusion that DS just wasn't worth it. I've been mulling over Arbies, though. ~ 03:14, 11 November 2011 (UTC) It occurs to me that page ownership will be more difficult to establish after this for pages in the mainspace. Just something to consider. —Aichon— 03:23, 11 November 2011 (UTC) Aye, that it will. It's a bridge that will have to be crossed when/if it becomes an issue later.
