Back again

I'm just helping out Doc Incognito with some formal logo work. I can stop into chat, but I'll be very quick about it. 02:49, January 16, 2012 (UTC)

Admin - Request.

How funny! And here I kept thinking to myself that no one would ever support me as an Admin. (Even before I started thinking about applying!) Now you just need to hurry up and get your ass to apply for Adminship next. ;) I'm guessing you still have some wait time though? ^Skål! 05:06, January 17, 2012 (UTC)

I actually consider you to be a better applicant than me for applying. You'll definitely be seeing me when your application goes up. :D What makes you think you're not ready yet? ^Skål! 05:10, January 17, 2012 (UTC)

It is pretty huge, isn't it? At least this would be a good time to get your bearings since it's slow and with us having a long wait for the next Fallout title.

You wouldn't happen to have any advice for me btw? Maybe something in particular you might want to see from me if I do indeed get elected to Admin? ^Skål! 05:14, January 17, 2012 (UTC)

Sometimes it takes awhile to have your voice heard, but dedication will always bring you into the light. It took me a long time to get known around here, especially since I'm never really in chat. Over your concerns though... I guess it all depends on your ambitions and wants. Are you happy with what you have now? ^Skål! 05:20, January 17, 2012 (UTC)

xD

Also, is it bad that I've always heard that term before and I've even used it at times, yet I didn't know what it meant until I just looked it up? So much for my street cred. lol ^Skål! 05:17, January 17, 2012 (UTC)

Thinking about becoming admin?

I see you're wondering if you're ready for adminship. I think you have the qualities for it, but are not quite there yet. When I browse your edits it's still a lot link updating and decapping words. In itself that is helpful, but I think an aspiring admin should take on bigger challenges. You've now got enough experience for that. Garoux is rewriting contents and generally digs into the matter of pages more. That's operating on a higher level. It's totally up to you of course how and what you want do do here, but I thought I should give you this friendly advice, hoping you are willing to do something with it. Jspoel 16:03, January 17, 2012 (UTC)

I've been thinking, maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea to join a project. Jspoel 18:58, January 17, 2012 (UTC)

It's good you joined a project (you can add it to your resume when applying for admin). It will improve your confidence. And you may consider shifting your edit/chat time ratio a bit in favor of editing. Editing is the more important thing, it will give you the best experience to be able to progress here. And people are more likely to vote for an editor, because they are the ones who need and use the deletion and block rights, and not so much someone who spends his time in chat. Jspoel 23:01, January 17, 2012 (UTC)

Admin

If I may harmfully intrude here: I think you're a good potential admin, but as Jspoel said, you need just a little more experience and work to back it. I know you're a respectful fella and it's good communicating with you. Meanwhile do you have any advice for me for when I apply? -ΣΔ^{Let's talk!} 01:00, January 18, 2012 (UTC)

Wow, I completely didn't do that right. Thanks for informing. -ΣΔ^{Let's talk!} 01:11, January 18, 2012 (UTC)

The line that blurs.

It's sort of an unofficial rule to keep tabs on those who are repeat vandals or have the tendency to make the same mistakes again and again. All blanking his talk-page of critical content will do is make him lose face here in the community. ^Skål! 22:24, January 18, 2012 (UTC)

I respect you and your opinion enough to drop this matter. He's still fairly new and probably still learning, so I'll cut him some slack if he feels he should make himself a clean slate again. ^Skål! 22:28, January 18, 2012 (UTC)

Admin

Thanks, Ryan, for the feedback on my admin poll. I do want to say that although sometimes I may be harsh or even slightly arrogant, I genuinely mean good, for the community and this wiki. I have always had a tendency to do things too fast, without always thinking it through. I know we've interacted quite a bit, and there indeed has been some confusion sometimes, but I really, really hope you can reconsider your vote.

-Sincerely, Danny (-ΣΔ^{Let's talk!} 22:21, January 19, 2012 (UTC))

Admin request

No, it was well meant, without hidden agenda. I haven't seen you as edit-active as SD and was doubting about you needing or using it already. SD is very edit-active and I first had my eye on him becoming admin. Jspoel 03:55, January 20, 2012 (UTC)

You deserve it, Ryan, despite edit counts I feel like you're a generally more friendly user, especially to new people, although I'm trying and I think I'm doing better. I encourage you to read Jspoel's thoughts on my request page and reconsider your vote. At this juncture every single vote means a lot. Also, I've just voted on your poll, as it seems I had forgot to do that earlier. Please, Ryan.

-Sincerely, Danny (-ΣΔ^{Let's talk!} 23:59, January 20, 2012 (UTC))

Eminem feat. Elton John

I love Elton John. He's one of my top five musicians (along with The Beatles, David Bowie, Electric Light Orchestra, and Bob Dylan). On the other hand, I really dislike rap music. I just find it repetitive, soulless and lacking in what I look for in music. But that Eminem & Elton John song on your page might have changed my mind. I've always thought that Eminem was legitimately talented, but to hear him alongside Elton was actually really awesome. As much as I find it odd to admit, that song was amazing. Thanks for posting it. 114.77.77.5 05:43, January 20, 2012 (UTC)

TPA

You beat me to it. xD I guess I shouldn't have spent so much time explaining my revert. :3 I have a feeling this Joetat is going to be a handful though. ^Skål! 04:17, January 21, 2012 (UTC)

That's the problem, I know he means well but I can smell the mentality of someone who is very young. Poor grammar, refuses to ask for help even when offered, and he shows no sign in improving his work when he keeps making the same mistakes that I've been pointing out to him. To be honest, he seems more harm than good; good intentions or not. ^Skål! 04:20, January 21, 2012 (UTC)

I'm thinking of playing the waiting game as long as another Admin doesn't deal with him first. He is still very new and I want to give him a chance to see how things work here. I really hope he does, because if not, he's not going to have much of a future here. ^Skål! 04:23, January 21, 2012 (UTC)

AF note.

Looking back at it, I realize now how hasty I was in reverting his changes. Just made a quick adjustment to it and now it's fine. Thanks for pointing that out to me. ^Skål! 05:24, January 21, 2012 (UTC)

Computer whiz

Thanks for the heads-up. Minor edits count? (Thelee 06:46, January 21, 2012 (UTC))

Re:

Thanks Ryan. You're not the only one who says I need work with interacting with others sometimes, so that's definitely something on my agenda. -ΣΔ^{Let's talk!} 16:00, January 21, 2012 (UTC)

MOS

Well, that was my main argument. If he keeps the page, it's basically saying "Hey, look everyone! I'm stupid!" Apparently he wants it to be known. 114.77.77.5 08:58, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

Jspoel

I hardly see that as offensive, but apologise nonetheless. We all need someone to look up to, and you and Jspoel undoubtedly had a mentor and protégé relationship, much like I had with Itachou and, to a lesser extent, Jspoel. If you don't see yourself in that way, I think you're deluding yourself to an extent Ryan, and also choosing not to acknowledge the countless amount of help he has given you is a sad choice to make, but I respect your wishes and will no longer think of you in a capacity which you don't see yourself in :) κηδεμόνας ^[~μιλώ~] 18:55, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

Sometimes, protégé is too much effort, but I guess I can see that κηδεμόνας ^[~μιλώ~] 19:03, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

I think between you and me I don't call you my apprentice. That's been more of a fun gimmick between me and SigmaDelta. He's been corresponding with me a lot in the past 2 months, learned fast and his eagerness of devotion reminds me of myself a year ago. Some time ago he mentioned a Star Wars reference or something on my talkpage and when he got promoted to moderatorship I congratulated him with 'Well done, my apprentice' as a bit of fun drama. :) Jspoel 19:07, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

RYAN!

While I think of it

I'm very disappointed you got rid of the sig I made you. Þe Guardian/My talk page-[Via the bot] 22:48, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

SNM

Can you go into my sandbox where the poll is listed and tell me if the poll itself is working properly? Thanks a lot! ^Skål! 06:11, January 23, 2012 (UTC)

Good to hear! What do you think so far btw? :D I have Doc Incognito making me a logo and I have a couple interviews set up also. (I've even sent Sansse and Jen a message asking if I could have a certain YT extension reinstated here so I can have the Rad Pack playing in the background.) I'm really hoping once I get finished that this can become a weekly occurance that everyone can have fun with. ^Skål! 06:14, January 23, 2012 (UTC)

Also, any other questions that I might want to add here? ^Skål! 06:28, January 23, 2012 (UTC)

Games

Heh, what can I say I get bored :P Yeah sorry about the edits, I tend to make big changes but then keep missing all the annoying typos I made while doing those big changes. I think I'll just start to move from page to page and only revisit those edits after some time has passed. (Thelee 22:32, January 23, 2012 (UTC))

WB

Thanks. On another note, do you know anything about making templates?

So I was rolling around in radioactive waste...

And I finally gained Admin superpowers! Thank you for the congratulations and your confidence in me! I'll try and not to let the power get to my head too much. ;) ^Skål! 01:38, January 25, 2012 (UTC)

I added you on Facebook by the way. Congrats on being the first one here to find me on there. ;) ^Skål! 02:38, January 25, 2012 (UTC)

Was seeing me everything you hoped and dreamed for? ;D Hah! I kid. It is pretty interesting when first seeing someone that you've gotten to know over the internets. ^Skål! 02:50, January 25, 2012 (UTC)

I believe you had a picture of yourself on your profile page awhile back so I already had a pretty good idea what to expect. :P Had one of me and my Norweyan love up for a few seconds at one point so I doubt anybody even saw when I did that. lol ^Skål! 02:55, January 25, 2012 (UTC)

Think I should put mine back up as well? I always tend to worry about posting such things to the internet. Too many opportunists and just plain creepy people. ^Skål! 03:22, January 25, 2012 (UTC)

Gold Bar

Wow, we went to that at the same time! Except you beat me narrowly ;) Also, I'd like an early congrats to you for admin. You're unopposed. Use your powers well and I look forward to working with you in the future. Take care! -ΣΔ^{Let's talk!} 02:49, January 25, 2012 (UTC)

I wouldn't say "mad". More like "upset". Some people were disappointed and some felt that I wasn't ready. I now realise that I am not quite ready yet. Cartman! made it a lot worse, based upon his perception and stance. I didn't "pressure" anyone, nor can I help it if someone feels pressure after I post a sentence or two on their talk page explaining things or addressing concerns. I still do not believe this is wrong. However, I can put myself in your shoes and feel how this may be a little... not right. Anyway, I hope we're still on friendly terms, since you're also a high schooler and we got off to a really good start in the beginning. Let's all put this admin thing behind us eh? Also, I just saw the picture you uploaded - BOSS! -ΣΔ^{Let's talk!} 03:06, January 25, 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I suppose you do have a point. I will admit the whole blog post thing was melodramatic and all, and you can read my newer one that I posted today, if you wish. Anyway thanks for the advice, I'll have to wait a bit anyway. -ΣΔ^{Let's talk!} 03:12, January 25, 2012 (UTC)

Gold Bars

That's the problem... it's not just anonymous users adding strategy on a constant basis. Not by a long shot. I see no reason for further information to be added as of this moment. If anyone has any information they feel should be added, there is a talk-page that can be used. ^Skål! 04:07, January 25, 2012 (UTC)

Congrats

Congratulations, new admin! Go out there and ban some trolls for me :) 22:20, January 25, 2012 (UTC)

The moderator section of the admin page just got a bit more lonely :P

One day I'll be up there in the admin section! 22:30, January 25, 2012 (UTC)

Congratulations Ryan, you had the full support of the community. Now go out there and do what needs to be done. Hopefully I can join you one day ;) -ΣΔ^{Let's talk!} 22:35, January 25, 2012 (UTC)

Also congratulations from my part. The admin staff is slowly becoming on strength again. Jspoel 00:00, January 26, 2012 (UTC)

Sorry for saying this so late but... Congrats with the new promotion to Admin! I'll be looking forward to working with you. ^Skål! 00:04, January 26, 2012 (UTC)

Congratulations on becoming our new administrator. MysteryStranger: Trust in the power of Infinity! 10:27, January 26, 2012 (UTC)

What you do around here

I believe you forgot "Raid bees for Hunny" and "swipe pic-a-nic baskets".

Thats enough bear puns for today I think. Agent c 22:42, January 25, 2012 (UTC)

Endorsement

Hey im gona go ahead and run for Chat Moderator but i just want to double check that you will be Endoresing me before i do so and one last thing.....CONGRATS, i knew you would get adminship without any trouble.TheNemesisx 23:47, January 25, 2012 (UTC)

Ulysses

Ha, glad I got to that one first, because you're usually right behind me xD. Thanks for nailing that guy, your first ban I assume? Keep up the good work. -ΣΔ^{Let's talk!} 00:43, January 26, 2012 (UTC)

Thank... you? O_o --Kastera ^(talk) 04:10, January 26, 2012 (UTC)

No, I know what you mean; I've just never been described as beastly before. You're beastly as well.

Favicon

Yesterday I changed the favicon to Doc Incognito's one. Adjusted the color a bit to match the logo. I'm satisfied with the result and suggest we use it. I'll do an admin round on it and then we can leave it behind us. Jspoel 14:27, January 26, 2012 (UTC)

Congrats on getting admin! The Australian Kiwi 16:45, January 26, 2012 (UTC)

Thank you!

For your vote, it is appreciated! I shall rule chat with an iron fi... um, with grace and fairness! Thanks again for the faith in me, I shall do my best to make sure you didn't make the wrong choice Ry-Ry! Loves <3 "Even In Death May You Be Triumphant" 11:16, January 27, 2012 (UTC)

Favicon

I've changed to bottlecap logo to more detail, with more edges. How you like it? Jspoel 14:57, January 27, 2012 (UTC)

It's a sign!

That we're both just that awesome. Just saying. ^Skål! 06:10, January 28, 2012 (UTC)

Cherry questions and statements

I think the creepiest part (besides stating that they want to stuff Cherry like a taxidermist and display her in their house) was how cheery they were about it. "Hello! I kill people and use them for storage!"

It's people like that who make me avoid public transport :P 06:15, January 28, 2012 (UTC)

I guess I'll go run it by Kingclyde XD

(Not really. He already walked into chat once where I was talking about how I searched for an artist and it came up with half naked men...) 06:18, January 28, 2012 (UTC)

I want your key

lol yeah that one actually made me laugh. But... but I like my long talk-pages! Makes me look important. ;D ^Skål! 06:16, January 28, 2012 (UTC)

I might archive it tomorrow. :P Haha! I can imagine so! ^Skål! 06:19, January 28, 2012 (UTC)

Hobbler

I've removed it for now. Let me know if you find anything out. ^Skål! 18:24, January 28, 2012 (UTC)

Good thinking. I was thinking the same thing about asking Saywer. I hope it's a reference, I saw the movie. Jspoel 18:27, January 28, 2012 (UTC)

READ

Hey man, try to read in Blister histrory. Someone (JASPER42) say this: We list Glowing one as a race, so MM should be too.

THEY ARE A RACE, OR THEY AREN'T?!?!?!?!?!?!

Marked men

All right, if that's what you think. You seem to have a GECK, seeing you made a hidden note on Gaius Magnus's page. MysteryStranger: Trust in the power of Infinity! 18:59, January 29, 2012 (UTC)

Misery

I like this reference and after Sawyer's response, I think it can have a place in the Behind the scenes section. I worded it in such a manner that it's not a direct reference, but have used Sawyer's words. Jspoel 13:23, January 30, 2012 (UTC)

Hey I just noticed your posts to MS. I never realised "Karma" was meant to be capitalised. Pragmatically, it isn't, but since it is a "stat" it should be, per guidelines. Thanks for unintentionally correcting me ;) -ΣΔ^{Let's talk!} 22:20, January 30, 2012 (UTC)

Lionheart

I'm not sure myself, but on the Lionheart page it's said that this wiki wants to cover Lionhearts' SPECIAL system with its perks, skills and traits, and that's what I'm working on now. Just some work that's never been paid much attention to. I doubt there will be much interest, but I want to make these pages for completeness' sake. Jspoel 01:14, January 31, 2012 (UTC)

The 'New' Way to Communicate

Actually, Sigma and I started it. But it's my new thing, and you're all in on it:D-- 05:31, January 31, 2012 (UTC)

What worries you?

Which ones? ^Skål! 07:29, February 1, 2012 (UTC)

I'm going to re-add a partial of the information I removed. I'm going to leave out the sniping note though. Kind of obvious. ^Skål! 07:45, February 1, 2012 (UTC)

I can understand that. My issue is keeping this wiki professional though. Clutter and speculation are not on my list for how to keep things that way. I can understand how that might upset certain people who are looking for the small details, but I work on a different wavelength than that. As for whether I work for myself or the people, I consider this a job and I act accordingly. This means I go by the rules set in place for me and I take the initiative to change this site for the better. Just make sure to keep pointing out my actions if you feel they're too extreme or questionable. Helps keep me in place whenever I get too far into work mode. ^Skål! 07:59, February 1, 2012 (UTC)

Indeed. As I said, feel free to take me to the side if you ever have problems with my work here. ^Skål! 08:04, February 1, 2012 (UTC)

You laggin' slut

You can un-ban yourself when you think ya can stop lagging.
JASPER//"Do you like hurting other people?" 22:19, February 2, 2012 (UTC)

Changed my block

I'm afraid you removed my block. If you didn't notice, I had already removed the IP block. At the same time, I still want that account banned for being a sock-puppet account. Also, let him know I don't want this to happen again or it will be a block for him also. ^Skål! 01:31, February 3, 2012 (UTC)

I might need to ask Jspoel to link it to me. For some reason I'm only able to find this: Notability

• Clipping issues (i.e. items poking through one another) and typos are not notable.
• All other bugs are notable.

Only items that are in great number are worth mentioning though if they're not unique or extremely rare. If they don't fit that criteria, then they can only be listed under the layout section. ^Skål! 04:53, February 3, 2012 (UTC)

That seems a little ridiculous to me. If we start listing every place where we can find more than 2 stimpacks, we'll have to start listing just about everything. We have to have strict guidelines so people can't take advantage of any loopholes that we can't really defend. ^Skål! 05:03, February 3, 2012 (UTC)

Do what? ^Skål! 05:05, February 3, 2012 (UTC)

Let's wait until J gets back to me. If he can't find it for some reason, then I'll be more than happy to collaborate with you and the other Admins over what notable loot should include. ^Skål! 05:08, February 3, 2012 (UTC)

I guess I can go ahead and write something up in my sandbox and you can send me a message when you're available and I'll officially put it up if needed. ^Skål! 05:10, February 3, 2012 (UTC)

That makes sense. And no problem. I guess this is something we need to look into and have at our disposal in a more convenient way. I still can't find that damn section for some reason. I think there's a link in my talk-page... I'll look through that real quick. ^Skål! 05:14, February 3, 2012 (UTC)

Hah!

I finally found the bastard! Took me forever. ^Skål! 07:56, February 3, 2012 (UTC)

I had to back-door you, you were fucking chat in the arsehole. Sowwy! Will unban you soon to stop the constant "He's here! He's gone! Oh he's back!" shit <3 "Even In Death May You Be Triumphant" 21:59, February 3, 2012 (UTC)

Notable loot

Why? It's not like there'd be any real difference between the two. As for the teddy bears, it is still noted. Might not be noted under notable loot, but it would be sort of redundant to do so when they have about a paragraph already explaining the number of teddy bears and where they are. ^Skål! 22:15, February 3, 2012 (UTC)

Welcome Wagon

Wtf are you talking about? I didn't replace the welcome messages. Those only appear after they've made their first edit. ^Skål! 23:07, February 3, 2012 (UTC)

I think my internet is better, i dont know what the problem was, i just got a brand new computer, i also wasn`t even aware that i was in the chat room.

There's no badge for that?

And tl;dr, probably the same as everywhere anyways

How do you PM anyways?

Can't make tildes... Why tildes anyways?

And I still can't find where to PM

No good. I'm currently on an inferior system to the laptop I usually work on. ^Skål! 19:54, February 4, 2012 (UTC)

What exactly would you change? Looking at it again, I don't see anything that's been left out or needs to be modified. ^Skål! 19:58, February 4, 2012 (UTC)

Oho! Of course that's what you meant. I've already taken the matter to CC. Hopefully I'll hear back from them on Monday since they don't check the special requests over the weekend. ^Skål! 20:01, February 4, 2012 (UTC)

Do you really think it'd be that big of a deal if results are as feared? I'm curious either way, but I'm trying to think of what harm has been done. ^Skål! 20:03, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
