Misuse of Power/Achievement Deletion

Hi.

I wanted to contact you personally, you being the Overseer of this whole site, about a chastisement I received from one of your site administrators, Jspoel. I had this quite un-funny message on my talk page for a day (http://fallout.wikia.com/index.php?title=User_talk:Yliannos&oldid=1219636) and apparently Jspoel thought I had "insulted other editors", and rewarded me with a 24-hour block of communications on this site.

This leaves me at a rather confused state; how does a site administrator punish a recently joined member of this site for such a pity delict of code of conduct. I fully understand the nature of what I did was somewhat wrong, but judging the message was NOT directed at anyone at all - and it was on my page all along - I'd say the punishment doesn't fit the crime. I would have surely complied shoud the dear administrator have just contacted me and advised me not to keep such things on my talk page. Are we talking about an administrator misjudgement of authority, a bad day for Jspoel or just so he could get an achievement/trophy/pat in the back for some penalizing-quota?

Speaking of achievements, my opinion of such rewards on objective information and fan-based sites like this has been skeptic at best. I think achievements, such as "X amount of edits in a day" cause an enormous amount of unnecessary "contributions", such as changing of grammar to replace an adverb or something instead of adding of useful information. I think what you have tried to gain by creating this whole achievement based points-system was more activity on the wiki, but to be frank, I think it's a twin-tipped sword and will cause more harm than gain in the long run. That is to say, what I'm suggesting is a removal of such an uncesessary point-structure, since it might lead to misuse of adminstratorship - such as creating achievements purely for rewarding yourself with points. Again, this kind of situation could potentially lead to more devastating effects, such as the Vault turning into an achievement whoring site, with points being to whole point of the existence of an account instead of contributing to Fallout-based information. Which would indeed kill the whole idea of wiki in itself.

With all due respect and no amount of asskissing, I feel somewhat controversial about the Vault because of my experiences - being a huge Fallout fan -, but then again I see all this potential. Vault has provided me with information otherwise unobitainable throughout the years and I hope it will keep doing that.

Peace and most importantly love,

Yliannos

I see Yliannos decided to send you a post about the block I gave him, appearantly seeing you as the site's overseer as he calls it. And you decided to forward his post to Ausir, which has annoyed me quite a bit. I really think for such a minor disagreement involving another user, you could have (and should have I think) contacted me first about it, before going to a bureaucrat. We could have come to a solution. You have not made friends with me with this move. Just wanted to let you know how I feel about this. JspoelJspoel Vault Boy 00:13, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

(a.v.p.snowman) it a wild guess but i think Tagaziel is 37-42 years old...not to say that's not a good thing.I as a player of the newer generation of gaming (im 18) hope you enjoy the many years of today's and future games with your knowledge of the past and happy gaming Tagaziel. :) Quote of the day :when it rains it pores welcome to my hurricane.

Enclave

Hello my friend ;)

Someone (Outcast77) was not agreed with you on the Enclave page and although I asked him to send you the same message that he send me, he didn't. I saw that you are currently on the Vault so I wanted to tell you this, take a look of my talk page to see these motivation and my answers on his own.

Since it was you who wrote the text, I think it is you who has the best arguments to defend your opinion. Have a nice day my friend and see you soon =)! Itachou [~talk~] 13:00, July 20, 2011 (UTC)

K9000

Cyberdog is a dog has been modified robotically but keeping some of their organic part.

Here, it's a cyberdog brain put in a "weapon" and like you say "it's a brain connected to a machine", so from the Fallout definition of a brain bot, it's a brain bot and not a cyberdog. This why it is called "K9000 cyberdog gun" and not just "K9000 cyberdog". Itachou [~talk~] 21:48, July 20, 2011 (UTC)

I don't agree. Cyberdog it's because it look like a "dog" otherwise the name cyberdog have no longer interest. Thin thanks are brain bot and they are not qualify as "cyberhuman", not like Cross for exemple.
Here, I can't see any robotically part, just a machine created like a weapon with a brain that does function for the weapon. It's not even a living being, just a machine obeying the user with no opinion.
For the name cyberdog, it's because the brain was improve cybernetically for the need of the weapon that all, I don't think a normal dog brain can help you in combat. Itachou [~talk~] 22:11, July 20, 2011 (UTC)

Well I just get the K9000, it's true it has a canine behavior but that all, its appearance and its principle contradict the mentions of cyberdog in FO2 by Dr. Schreber and Dr. Henry feeling that cyberdogs are a dog enhanced cybernetically, and the Fallout 2 official guide mentionning about Robodog that a cyberdog is a synthetic canine.

Changed the text for "a kind of cyberdog with a cyber canine brain put into a mechanical body built like a heavy weapon, the brain floating in a jar under the weapon's barrel." it's the best solution I think. What do you think my friend?

Also, I think we will put it in the variations section in the cyberdog page (infobox and variant section) right? Itachou [~talk~] 23:30, July 20, 2011 (UTC)

All right, I take care of the cyberdog page ;), nice writing for the K9000 page, pretty singular text. Ho also, nice post in NMA for the old old Fallout art, very nice to see some kind of artifact still exists today =)! Nice evening and see you soon Mikael! Itachou [~talk~] 23:52, July 20, 2011 (UTC)

URCOJ

Tagaziel, please come to the chat. We have a user named URCOJ who has multiple accounts, made a vandal page, and is spamming the chat repeatedly. He has been doing it for a while now and deserves to be blocked. Thanks. Yes Man default 11:16, July 24, 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry to disturb for a lil thing but i meade a typo when creating this name, it should be OneWingPhoenix , not OneWingPhoneix. It's not a big deal if you deny the change but i'd be grateful if you change it anyways :)

Have a nice day

Quick question

The whole anarchist theme you have, I like the armour by the way, but I was wondering if you are a political anarchist or not? So, as in dissolving governments and letting people help each other because they want to. Just curious. I'm not by the way, but I have read on the subject. Don't feel you have to answer of course, I'm not trying to be rude. TheGuardianCalligraphyGuardianoftheWastesTag 21:09, July 24, 2011 (UTC).

That's interesting. I like to read about different philosophies: religious, political and structural. I think that this is infinitly interesting and when I saw that I just though I'd ask. Thanks for replying too. Someone has to know the real ideologies behind these things, rather than thinking that they should torch this and cause riots in the name of 'anarchism'.

Big MT

Hello my friend =)

Please don't remove what you want in the Big MT page. Agree for now for Borous and 2003 in Big MT, but Klein clearly say it's the admin of the facility, like all other think thanks that they are a head of each section (otherwise why they have the choice to become a think thank and immortal and not the other if they are not special in the hierarchy).

And Big MT it's not a special page, don't need the "(usually written Big MT)", just "Big MT" is sufficient to itself. Also, their technology was not used by the Enclave (no holograms, no cyberdog gun, no Saturnite etc.), it is important to indicate in the page and to clearly show they are sometimes over there in some technological fields. Also, I don't think they created cyberdog, just improved the technology already in place - they have only cyberhounds Mk III (Military and Police model), but not Mk II like Robodog and Mk III law enforcement officer model like Rex (use in city, so not a military project or something). Also, it's the "only" technology use by the Enclave that also use by Big MT, so the technology was already in place. Itachou [~talk~] 11:04, July 25, 2011 (UTC)

  1. I didn't say it was superior to the Enclave, just in certain technological fields they are superior to the Enclave. I have never seen more than two cyberdog (Robodog, K-9) belonging of the Enclave (when they are many in Big MT), no holograms, no cyberdog gun, no teleportation technology etc. I agree that the Enclave has in certain fields a high technology but the Big MT excel them in some other fields.
  1. Yes for the Big MT's head but we just have to point out that these are their names after the Great War (and Borous was named Gail Richardson).
  1. Even if it's not elaborated in-game, "Think Tank Project" seems to still be in place since as I said, why everyone did not was became a think thank?
Agree for a "research projects" section =). Haha I like your title "Again?", you know that we are here to share ideas my friend, we will have much debates later is sure ;). Also, I think you will still have to wait a little time to make such a background section, OWB is not even been out for one week is a bit of spoils, would have to wait 2-3 weeks was more appropriate in my opinion. I take a look of your edit in Big MT, see you later! Itachou [~talk~] 12:56, July 25, 2011 (UTC
Let me be clear. You act like a kid who wants everything to be as he wants without thinking of others. Why change the page just to remove some sentences and put "your sentences", sometimes wrong and failing to explain all the details, not listening to me or listen to others.
You also block some pages just because some people don't agree with you (Enclave, Mercy). You have 23 years, it's time to grow. We talk, we come to an agreement, but for you in fact not, you change as a childish kid that things that don't pass as he had expected. Itachou [~talk~] 13:58, July 25, 2011 (UTC)

Pure speculation and Big MT surpassing the Enclave in some fields is highly subjective? Have you seen any holograms, teleportation technology, more than 15 cyberdogs in any Enclave outpost like Enclave Oil Rig or Raven Rock? And please, don't said me that the cyberdog model doesn't exist in Fallout 2 since you known it exist and the developers could easily put them into enemies on the Enclave Oil Rig.

Cyberdogs remains a rare technology for the Enclave (even if they have "canine neuroscientist" - a rank that you have invented since it doesn't exist in the game file and dialogue - anyway, well, just two kind of that have be seen), more concerned about deathclaw as can be seen in-games (FO2-FO3) and so Big MT is more advanced than the Enclave in that (like holograms etc.). All my reference is seen in the game - you, you just speculated for things that doesn't show in-game.

I respect you for some aspect, but on the other shows you have a deplorable behavior and don't respect other people. I also sometimes take three hours on pages (take a look of the history of Cyberdog, Gecko (creature), Primitive Tribe, Tribals, Vault 13, Vault 101, Human if you want) and it's not a reason that I use only my sentences and I don't listen to what people and the community want.

The childish kid behavior I described above (that you don't recognise and you didn't tell me why) is that sometimes you block certain page (Enclave, Mercy) just because some people don't agree with you. It is not tolerated and honestly you should be banned or something like that for this kind of unacceptable behavior (why do you do that? Did you give me an answer other than "I want to keep things like that because it is me that write, I'm always right and I don't respect people, especially those who are not admin"). Can you give me an answer? Itachou [~talk~] 17:56, July 25, 2011 (UTC)

Stealth suit Mk II

Why you remove the real name "X-13 cardiac regulator sneak suit" of Stealth suit Mk II since IT'S MARKED IN THE ACHIEVEMENT Cardiac Arrest! (released before the game) AND IN THE OLD WORLD BLUES PAGE? Can I have a good reason from you?

It's an obligatory practise to include the real name and alternative names of the item as per The Vault:Article layout guideline/Item article. Itachou [~talk~] 13:07, July 25, 2011 (UTC)

Pre-released achievement with the real name, just the description of the official achievement change but the name is not false. Itachou [~talk~] 13:44, July 25, 2011 (UTC)
I'm going to take a little rummage into the game itself, and see if I can find any evidence to the contrary. Seems like the best thing to do now, anyway. Hugs Scar: "Say 'ello to my little friend!" 13:56, July 25, 2011 (UTC)
I see your point Tag, but the name has to ahve come from somewhere, even if it's outdated. I simply want to know. So I think we should ask a dev on Formspring, as that is usually counted as official info (lots of articles have formspring reference links). That's my proposition, anyway, as that would be an outside mediator, as no one of us wants to budge it seems. P.S. I fixed some grammar in your Big MT edit. Hugs Scar: "Say 'ello to my little friend!" 15:09, July 25, 2011 (UTC)
Agreed, and when I have time I'll ask a dev over Formspring or the like, as to get confirmation. Hugs Scar: "Say 'ello to my little friend!" 15:27, July 25, 2011 (UTC)

Capitalization

Ho also Mikael just a heads up, remember that we don't capitalize not proper names like lobotomite and cazadores. Itachou [~talk~] 13:33, July 25, 2011 (UTC)

Need some help with my Fallout.

Sup Tag. I need help with a little backstory of Fallout. What was the standard issue of the US military before the War? As in, not the R91 (I trust Black Isle/Interplay, not Bethesda).

Call of Pripyat problems

My Call of Pripyat is too slow. It takes about 1 to 2 minutes of quicksave loading, while save game loading from the main menu takes about 4 to 5 minutes of loading. Do I need to upgrade my computer graphics or memory in order to fix that? --gauzzrifle 07:56, July 26, 2011 (UTC)

Brand names

How do you know it is part of the name or simply a description of the contents. To be honest I really don't care, I just want uniformity and since you're the only admin moving or commenting on upper case (most other admins have moved to lower case, or commented on talk pages about it should be lower casing). I am simply following what I feel to be consensus on the matter. But if you are going to move them to upper case, then you need to do it to all i.e. Salisbury Steak etc. and then let me know which ones have changed. Otherwise the rest of the wiki will be in lower case due to the bot being in lower case. Simply changing the page name isn't enough now, as I have posted in the forum about my bot.

Big MT Snow globe bug question.

Sup Tagaziel. There's a bug in Old World Blues for the Snow globe as described here - when the globe is unreachable. The thing is, I've encountered this bug. There was a 'verify' sign next to it, and I removed it. Do you think I should add a screenshot in the gallery showing how the item could be unreachable? Thanks. -- Yakov 10:57, July 28, 2011 (UTC)

Big MT background

Hello Mikael =)

Mobius said that they were already reprogrammed to forgot a part of their personality and their name, and having them already a new one (changed later by Mobius). Also, I checked many hours the GECK and take more than 30 screenshot in-game of all interesting dialogue, so if you don't believe me, you can directly look into the GECK or wondering me the screen.

It's not all the researchers was transformed into a think tank but only the "Think Tank" executives (their name, spelled like that can see in some terminals, also with execs). The dome is named The Think Tank because it was the facility of the Big MT "Think Tank" executives.

I re-write and reput some information with the signification and the spelling in-games. Anyway, thanks for the grammar and some interesting re-writing ;). Itachou [~talk~] 21:12, July 28, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for not delete information and to have rewritten some with a more comfortable way. Hey my friend don't think that every time I want to fight with you, I just want to be the most accurate as possible and with all information available, even the smaller and more hidden =). However, I think the best would be to put dialogue references for the other person, what do you think? Itachou [~talk~] 12:41, July 29, 2011 (UTC)

Haha I send this message before seen yours ;). No no, no bad feelings of course =)! Itachou [~talk~] 12:43, July 29, 2011 (UTC)

Thank you.

For your critiques. They've given me a lot of things to think about in regards to my work with Fallout 3, and Fallout: New Vegas. I won't go into great detail, but people who evaluate and study the Fallout lore and offer legitimate, well-written and intelligent criticisms are a great thing for a fanfiction writer like me, who strives to make his work as good as possible. Thanks for spending the time on things like this, because it is worth it, even more to people like me. --66.168.77.22 00:23, July 31, 2011 (UTC)

Recon armor image

I tend to agree with you. While I was doing those recon images, I was doubting what to do with that issue. That's because on the forum page we decided (as far as I remember it) to do the male and female version front side image for the infobox image. Changing that would break consistency. In the end I did decide to add the back image to the gallery on the Recon armor (Fallout 3) and Recon armor (Fallout: New Vegas) page, but not on the Christine's COS recon armor. But as you state it, I agree it would be better that if the male/female version is very similiar (like with the recon armor) to do a front and back image for the infobox image. But if there's a reasonable difference, then stick to a male/female armor image. JspoelJspoel Vault Boy 15:13, July 31, 2011 (UTC)

Yes it was decided to be both male/female version for the info box (something which I was greatly outnumbered on), instead of front and back. Instead the back images where to be added to a gallery or in the extra section of the infobox. User:AvatarUser talk:Avatar 16:12, July 31, 2011 (UTC)

Yakovs ban

He intentionaly planed a 'raid' on the CoD wiki chat, purly to troll, upon his kick he vandalised their pages, whislt it is their wiki this was all planed in our chat giving the vault a bad name, also after his CoD block he started acting very aggressive with others so I asked another admin to help me figure out what to do, I spoke to Itachou and we came to a consensus a ban was needed, as Yakov had prior bans, and his last was 2 weeks I gave him a 3 month ban. - Crazy Sam10 Talk PollShadowAttackSmallAni 18:19, August 13, 2011 (UTC)

I've been talking it over with some people who were involved from our wikia, and I believe you are right and there shouldn't be a 3 month ban, however we still beleive a ban should be put in place as even though he broke no rules, those rules where not in place after the chat, we can't start going into other chats spouting "Fallot wiki is the best your wiki is shit Trololo" it gives us a bad name, and after doing so he vandalised their pages as some kind of vengenge thing, once again bad for reputation, after he was banned from CoD he was aggressive towards others in our chat and it was at that point the consensus for the ban was confirmed. - Crazy Sam10 Talk PollShadowAttackSmallAni 19:11, August 13, 2011 (UTC)

I thought he was banned for harrassing one of our members, I even said yes I saw that & agreed with a ban but I thought 3 months was too harsh for common trolling.. However, Now that I've read all the case against Yakov.. I'd say he should be banned untill he contacts an Admin with a "Well worded " appology & promise to play by the rules & take heed if ever warned again by a mod or admin.

Fallout 1 and 2 characters project

Hello. I am just leaving a quick note to say that we need to get this project finished. Its been very slow for a long time now, and so this is just a quick note to ask for you to continue your contributions. It would be really good if we could finish this project, and if everyone does that little bit more work, I'm sure it won't be long. So please don't forget about it :). Thanks, TheGuardianCalligraphyGuardianoftheWastesTag.

Oh I know Tag :). I just had to send this to everyone, because for the last two months I've been the only one doing it. Thus, I've sent out this to try to increase activity.

I made this for you...for some odd reason.

ANARCHYPONY

FOR TAGS!

Thanks And apology

So im just kinda awkwardly saying thank you for giving me my one week ban and i apologize to anyone i offended thanks tag. Fryingpan57 23:11, August 18, 2011 (UTC)

Since you haven't replied, I'll just post it here.

Well, I've given you more than ample opportunity to reply on Needs More Battle Cattle. So.. here we are, then.

Yes, Tag, we all know that. However, I want you to consider this: Obsidian isn't a name which translates very well into a person's name. If I had tried (and I didn't, I'm not gonna lie.) I wouldn't have felt like going with Zii, Dee, or Obadiah since that would have been stretching the name far past the point where the reader would easily recognize what organization was being parodied in a anthropomorphic fashion. Without that clear and (most importantly) *easy* understanding, the flow and the comedic entire mood of the post falls apart.

Commenting what you did before thinking about any of that, is itself on the ignorant side of things.

Further clarification: I would never date an Obadiah. Not out of any sort of, "oh its because Obi's a guy", but because "Obadiah" just doesn't lend itself to being easily screamed out in the throes of passion and I've never wanted to imagine having sex with Alec Guinness.

Further Further Clarification for anyone who missed the point and wants Tag's point responded to outside of the realm of the post I made: If you are saying that Bethesda doesn't deserve any credit for FONV, such a statement doesn't serve to reveal that you have any idea as to how marketing, endorsement or brand-recognition work. If a publisher puts their name on a product, that publisher is saying - among many other things - that they endorse that product and are putting their reputation and customer-trust on the line in regards to it.

Sure, they're not making it themselves, they just designed FO3, and yadda yadda yadda whatever, but Bethesda's rep is still on the line with FO:NV. The Publisher has the last say in what gets shipped - the last bit of QA is on them, whether or not they chose to do any. So yeah, Bethesda deserves some credit for FONV and the add-ons when they did good things, but make no mistake that I do (and have) also beat on Bethesda for the craptacular things as well. So don't worry... I'm not just praising one and beating on the other.

Oi.

In conclusion: Do Not Insult Satire Unless You Understand It And Do Not Leave Insulting Comments On My, Or Anyone's, Blog. And before you, again, say that I'm being ignorant, this time for taking what you said as an insult; you left the comment, one to which I replied, and then you said nothing, leaving me no option but to assume that, yes, you were, in fact, being insulting.

Soviet Union

Regarding Alepov's Soviet emblem: I do not see emblems of the Soviet Union as having the same universal and unmistakable meaning as the Nazi swastika. I understand that you have a case to make, but I think you need to make it in a forum and gain some consensus before asking people to remove soviet symbols.--Gothemasticator 21:32, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

I can see your view, and it does hold water, but you must remember that this was the universal sign of Communism long before Lenin adopted it. Many people have forgotten this due to China's flag, which represents the party, and the people. I don't wish to argue with you, but rather remind you (because it is clear you are an intelligent person, so I have no reason to doubt that you already knew this) that it is Communist, not Soviet. Thanks for your time, TheGuardianCalligraphyGuardianoftheWastesTag.

Possible racist user name

Sorry to bother you, Tag, but I've run into a user in chat I feel I need to report to an admin. I don't know if it'll do any good if I don't have an exact name, but it was something along the lines of Nggawithattitude. Its quite obvious the first portion of the name was refering to the N word, and I know that isnt a word we want used here. Thanks for helping me with this issue.

Question for the seasoned vet

Hey Taga,

I don't know if you remember me, but I was the one that vehemently defended fallout 3. I've never played either of the first two fallouts and I now wish to give one of them a try. Being the expert and such a huge fan, would you mind taking some time out of you're undoubtedly busy schedule to tell me which one you would recommend more?

Thanks,

ShadyCake

Fallout 1 First Impressions

I know you have other things to do, what with editing and more important people to respond to, but I thought you might like the first impressions from a gamer growing up in the "bang valued over the story" era.

1. I actually really enjoyed the animated opening. It provided great expressions that the Gamebryo engine couldn't generate.

2. Although the combat does take some getting used to, I really like the tactical aspect of managing action points.

3. My last note, seeing as I did not get very far into the game, is that I am rather confused when I actually need to travel. Do I travel immediately to the indicated vault once I leave my own or do I try to find a town? The "fast" travel aspect seemed peculiar to me, but I suppose this is what actual sandbox game play is when compared to that of the newer generation.

Overall, Fallout 1 is definitely a great experience, but I wish I had known a few things like specializing in melee in the beginning. Oh, and congratulations on another year of marriage.

Thanks a lot for the recommendation, {{SUBST:User:ShadyCake/sig}} 04:04, September 20, 2011 (UTC)

Research

If anything can reinforce a view, it is research. This not only sickens me, but I feel the comment he left and the fact that he favourited it show exactly the kind of person he is. I can tolerate views, but this I would have trouble with. TheGuardianCalligraphyGuardianoftheWastesTag

Sort of hard to give the sweet and short on this video. It's kind of something you have to witness with your own eyes and ears to even try to comprehend such stupidity and ignorance. It's essentially a video involving David Duke trying to connect the recent events in Norway with the Zionists.. Skål! 12:35, September 24, 2011 (UTC)

Ulysses timeline

Hello Tag ;)

Actually, Ulysses timeline is rather hard to interpret since we have no date for some event, only indications.

  • Based on the Patient log: Y-17.9, Ulysses known that the Courier is alive and say to Christine (if they come in the Sierra Madre) to come to him, so it's obligatory after Victor job, since it's at that time he learns that the Courier is alive. Also, we don't know when the Courier arrived in the Mojave for the job, and when Victor creates his announcement, this may be late 2280, early 2281 ect., time for Elijah to do all, and he is probably not stay very long when you meet it, otherwise he would have starved to death or something (it's an old man, it is fragile physically). Also out of Ulysses, we don't meet any courier in the game, this indicates that they are pretty rare and call one or more can take time, especially in a region under reconstruction.
  • Ulysses never comes in Big MT for find the access codes, based on the Ulysses Log Y-17.16, he come across by accident and take the opportunity to speak with the Think Tank. Also, based on Chris Avelonne on Twitter, the nuclear missile only need the copy of ED-E to be launched (also say by Ulysses in-game, that why he take the control of him after you reach a certain point in Lonesome Road).

Itachou [~talk~] 19:49, September 25, 2011 (UTC)

So for you, if I understand correctly, the event in Big MT with Ulysses is before the destruction of the Divide? Because it's after that Ulysses think that the Courier is dead.
Actually the sentences:
"Get [her/him] to come to me. Got a message for [her/him], like the message [she/he] had for me. Make them walk the road west, straight and true, sink their feet in Old World ash. Let storms tear at them. See the Divide. See what happened."
"Nothing there? Like the Big Empty? The Sierra Madre? No, the Old World sleeps there, sure as the flag I carry. The Courier knows the way. And at the Divide, [her/he] and I - there, we'll have an ending to things."
Are proof that Ulysses knows that the Courier is alive after Victor job and wants to finish with them in the Divide when the time comes, this cannot be interpreted otherwise. Itachou [~talk~] 20:16, September 25, 2011 (UTC)

Sincerely it is rather difficult to be truly sure without asking a dev, many interpretations are possible. Since you have a Twitter account, can you ask the question to Chris Avellone? I would also like to know the truth about that ;). Itachou [~talk~] 21:39, September 25, 2011 (UTC)

Hum... just a note but look at this sentence of Ulysses in the Patient log: Y-17.9:
"Let storms tear at them. See the Divide. See what happened."
"See what happened" - meaning see what happened after you have brought this package and you're left. The Divide seems to be already destroyed. Before change anything, I await your opinion on that. Itachou [~talk~] 14:22, September 26, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah but it remains an assumption. Well, hope Chris Avellone can clarify all this, it is unfortunate that no date was given in-game. Itachou [~talk~] 17:06, September 26, 2011 (UTC)

RE: I need your review

Very well written, and very good advice! Great job! I couldn't have stated it any better myself. :) JoePlay WikiaStaff.png (talk) 16:10, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I think it deserves to be on the Community Central blog as well. For possibly promoting it, I would recommend asking about it using Special:Contact. I don't know if that's something that could be done, but it never hurts to ask. JoePlay WikiaStaff.png (talk) 18:04, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

Riot gear images

I agree the helmet is a bit bright compared to the riot gear, but it's about the best I can do I think. I have somewhat limited graphics capacity and images are not as good as yours, Itachou's or GhostAvatar's. You're free to replace them with a better one of course.

Sean

Co myślisz o uwzględnieniu Sean'a w historii Krypty 13 i ew. odniesieniach do "vault dwellers" w takich artykułach jak ten Taliusa? Jeżeli tak, to w jakiej chronologii myślisz, należałoby go umieścić? I co najważniejsze, bo jestem tutaj całkiem zmieszany. Jest on usunięty z gry czy nie? Na nie przemawia fakt że widzę jego spolszczone teksty w pl wiki (ale zapewne tłumaczyli wszystkie pliki), co ważniejsze, jest rosyjski screen z random encounterem, na tak że znajduje się w liście usuniętych postaci i nigdy go w grze nie spotkałem. (aczkolwiek samotnego deathclawa z random encountera też nie). Proszę, olśnij mnie w tej sprawie. : ) --Languorous_Maiar 18:04, October 19, 2011 (UTC)

Blog comment deletions

I think you went overboard deleting those comments. One guy asks what has Tim Cain done since Fallout. Other people proceed to list accomplishments. Sure, it was a hyperbolic comment. Sure, it showed disrespect to a FO creator. But none of that is against policy. Live and let live, Tag. You are regularly more abrasive than the comments you deleted.--Gothemasticator 17:27, October 27, 2011 (UTC)

And this comment of yours would not be considered insulting toward another editor? "Error: Fallout 3 as best Fallout game and developed taste. DOES. NOT. COMPUTE."
You're playing with double standards, Tagaziel. Strictly applied against those you disagree with and leniently applied to your own contributions.--Gothemasticator 17:50, October 27, 2011 (UTC)
And the comment I quote above "can only be identified as intentionally disruptive and provocative towards other Vault users, particularly those enjoying classic [newer] RPGs."--Gothemasticator 18:24, October 27, 2011 (UTC)
