Ok, so the Survivor site turned out to be false. But your watch on it was certainly not in vain and I think you realize that. Even if it was unsure, Fallout fans all over the world wanted to read about it and now they have seen how much we were on it, it can only leave a good impression for the future. It might have been real and imagine we had paid it little attention. They may have gone somewhere else to keep up to date. Now they know they can get their information and talk about it here. So great work you've done. When you look on the personal bright side, you can focus on exams for the next 2 weeks!

Please explain which rules i broke when i rejoined that resulted in the ban? No warning? No suspension? Seems like favoritism. And you wonder why people don't come here. The 4 days I was on chat, all you guys did was argue about the rules, complain no one new came, and when people do some of you are just dicks because we aren't old timers on the wiki. How can community grow when you treat the newcomers as such? It's ok from what I've seen for some to break rules but not everyone. Thats not much of a rule now is it. I would just like to see which rule/rules I broke upon the return on my kick that resulted in a ban. If you don't tell me, whatever this is as far as I will go, I will continue to use the wiki as I need, you will just loose another would have been active member. Have fun with the same 15 people probably, on a game thousands play...

Joe (USA) Chat Ban

I was banned from the fallout wiki chat after being in it for a short time. I was going after the colonel in a chatroom.. But I got banned because of ignorance. I just wanted to have fun. I was picking on someone. Coloneljosef. I kept calling him http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Augustus_Autumn and messing around with him. Then I got banned for no reason that i'm aware of. I did spam. But I was only trying to annoy Coloneljosef. I would like to return to chat. I did not mean for the public to be disturbed by this. This is personal. between me. And Coloneljosef.

Fallout Answers

Hey Chad, I got news. As seen here, it seems a new Wikia "hub" has been just made, dedicated to promote Answers wikis. It would be good to notify it in the News digest. Energy X 11:49, June 16, 2013 (UTC)

That would be good. Since the Lonesome Road add-on, the activity dropped to but a 1000 views a day. I can only blame it on the fact there is not much Fallout 4 news, so more promotion is always welcome. One thing though: what about other sister wikis? Energy X 12:12, June 16, 2013 (UTC)
The only thing that I thought of now is to insert the links to those sites in templates below, like yours. Not sure if it is recommended, but Gunny could insert (via css) some links just right of the Wiki Navigation. Naturally, any new news from those wikis should be reported in the news digest, as a spotlight. Energy X 12:43, June 16, 2013 (UTC)

Who is returning!

I don't really know if I'll be able to be here more than sporadically, but I have this itchy-wiki feeling. Might just edit once in a while. If not, I'll make myself noticed one way or another. Nice to be positively received, at least. Hugs MadeMan2 "Say 'ello to my little friend!"

Rise of the Tyrant

Your opinions can't change what is written as fact in the constitution of the United States and many other countries. It saddens me to know that people would outright go against the law that include freedoms that let people like yourself spew their jaded opinions. I hope you understand what the laws you speak so negatively of really mean, and in the future you understand where you would be without them. No matter the case, your long-winded essays of non-sense opinions haven't changed my stance on my god-given rights and freedoms. Hunger for power seems to be what fuels that administration on this website, and that saddens me. Megamanacses (talk) 20:03, June 18, 2013 (UTC)

You and your colleagues are beyond villainous, making your prime objectives on this website to censor the speech of others based simply on your own judgement, I see you yourself still don't understand what our freedoms represent, and as your colleague Garoux stated, I will not tolerate purposeful ignorance. Children like yourself and your colleagues take our freedoms and rights for granted and you're especially no exception.

False Information in NPCs

Hi,

A couple months back, you contacted me on my talk page about how to get better, more reliable information for NPCs, namely their race and karma. I'd only really focused on correcting any false info along those lines, but today, I looked through the edit history of a few pages to see if I could trace back where a majority of the false information was coming from. I found that almost 100% of the NPCs that I corrected race for had an incorrect race that was put in by this bot ----> http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/User:GhostAvatarBot . Specifically, I found that it inserted the incorrect race for the following characters:
Nadine
Woodrose
Clover
Gibson in Fallout 3
Jimson
Catherine (Point Lookout)
Jacob Humboldt
Kenny (Point Lookout)
Dominic D'Ellsadro
Everett
Beatrice Armstrong
Lydia Montenegro
Mad Johnny Wes
Mex
Bingo
It may not seem like that many characters, but it's almost all of the characters I had to correct the race of. So, I'm guessing that the problem probably isn't just random users inserting what they think is the correct race of a character, but instead a majority of the false info could come from info that was added by bots and failed to be noticed and corrected by users, so it would defiantly be beneficial to check character info added by bots in the G.E.C.K.. I hope this can help in the for any future Fallout games in order to avoid any edit wars and incorrect information from begging added and going unnoticed like it was in the case of some Fallout 3 characters. 69.125.134.190 17:04, June 22, 2013 (UTC)

Erik Todd Dellums...

Hey Chad, how's it going? So a few days ago I mentioned that I think we should take Erik Todd Dellums and Three Dog out of the Fallout 4 section of Nukapedia because he admitted that he was just hoping to work with Bethesda again. I have some more proof that leans toward that... I truly believe he was just saying he wanted to or was trying to talk to Bethesda but since it's unconfirmed I believe it shouldn't be there. If someone from Bethesda could confirm it or Erik Todd Dellums had proof I think we should keep it but right now I think that it leans towards speculation (something we don't like here haha). Below I will leave a link to what I believe is "proof" of what I said. Please let me know your thoughts so we can hash this out and come to a answer.

Thanks Chad! Have a nice day/night!

Stats

Hi, I just wanted to contact you about what you said on my FO3 and New Vegas character stats forum. I figured I'd put this on your talk page instead of on the forum, as nobody's really checking it, and this would probably be quicker. Anyway, I'm not really sure who here knows a lot about the G.E.C.K., and I just wanted to know if you could tell me who is so I could direct them to the forum to get their opinion on how to go about correcting and adding in information, particularly adding in more derived stats as hit points are really the only thing to be included when there are about nine more things that could be added in. Thanks. 69.125.134.190 02:25, June 29, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll let those people know about the forum to see what they have to say. In the meantime, If you're looking to understand the G.E.C.K. more, I'd defiantly recommend watching this person's videos on the G.E.C.K. ---> http://www.youtube.com/user/Seddon4494/videos It's more tutorials than learning about it directly, but understanding how to create your own content first defiantly makes it easier to dissect official content from the G.E.C.K. in order to get stats, AI info, quest info etc. There's also an official website for the G.E.C.K. I'm sure it'll pop up if you just Google it, and it's pretty helpful if you're not sure about a certain subject. 69.125.134.190 03:02, June 29, 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for letting me know the history. It's just a shame there's so much incorrect information over there. 69.125.134.190 05:07, June 29, 2013 (UTC)

I knew you and we and Sulik & I knew

I used your account as the clear and propper use of more than one account. I never meant to even imply to stacked votes.

  • I was making the point that it should be clear logging in to add opinions on a rule change ect is foul play.

From your tone I understood you got it, but posting it here will make it clear to any others who might be following it. * I never assumed to accuse you. I just want to shine a light on others who might wish to cheat & make it clear, even posing as an anonymous user to voice again the same opinion offered under their member name is foul play.

Veto

My vote was made differently due to the people who voted no because they did not want the whole rule removed, along with the fact that some people never listened to the positives of it. Chad, if the admins can just veto any forum, then wouldn't it make it easier for the admins to just veto something the majority don't like? Metal Gear Mk.

How's this looking so far User:The_Gunny/sandbox#Apprentice_box? The Gunny  380px-USMC-E7 svg 19:05, July 13, 2013 (UTC)
Check that link again. I've added some parameters for custom styling. Here's the skinny on what the changes would be: I moved all the elements into one template. It was the only way I could add everything you wanted, so no more beginning, header or end templates. Because of this, each content area now has to be placed into a parameter, e.g. |content1 =. You can declare images, header styling, and the entire box styling by using other parameters. The default image height is 240px. You have to declare the image height, as the divs don't size the boxes properly without using the image height to resize the div. I can look at the imagesize function to see if I can possibly get it to do that automatically. The only questions I left is: Do you still want these changes made? You'll have to go back and redo every page that is already using these templates, unless I create a new template and leave the old ones alone. And if you do, how many content sections do you think you'll need? I've only got 2 right now, I can add as many as you like. The Gunny  380px-USMC-E7 svg 00:39, July 17, 2013 (UTC)

Nothing excessively important

As per the title! Anyway, I was having PnP-rules ideas, and wanted to bounce them on you. As per now, my system has little over a hundred ranged weapons, and I used to have specific costs to them in caps. For example, a certain rifle may cost 725 caps and a pistol might cost 320 caps. I'm now thinking of dividing them into 7 cost tiers, and then balancing out all weapons in each tier to be evenly matched - although with different specialities. Each weapon cost tier would later be given a "recommended" cost for use in game, as traders vary in their appreciation of objects, niceness, barter level, etc. What do you think of this idea? Hugs MadeMan2 "Say 'ello to my little friend!"

Request

Can you upload a few screenshots from a mobile phone of pages (character and location) which have 2 (notable quotes/infobox stat) or even 3 (+audio file) tags on them at the top? I'd like to see how it looks, as it seems to discourage people if there are too much (lastest admin mail). We may need another solution for those tags. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 14:30, July 16, 2013 (UTC)

This is crazy. We need to do something about it. It does disencourage people, has to. Problem is, people won't see the tag when it's at the bottom of the page. But then again, only me, Jasper, FFIX and 69 are effectively working on it, so if we make these people are aware, then we can move the tag down, as it would only be for reference for what has been done and what not. Let me ponder about it a bit more. Can you also upload a few screenshots of pages that don't have any tag? (Location, character and quest page example would be good. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 17:02, July 16, 2013 (UTC)
I doubt it's possible. There's no way we can simplify our infobox for mobile I think. All wikis with infoboxes suffer from it. I'd like to get rid of these tags but still have a link to the project. How about we just make temporary categories (f.e. Infobox stats needed and Sound quotes needed) which replace the tags at the top. That way people don't see the tag, but like I said before we can inform the people who work on it that they can use the category for reference (which can also contain the explanation of the project). Once a page is complete, people can remove the temporary category from the page. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 18:57, July 16, 2013 (UTC)
I know, but I don't expect many more people to join and make a real effort with these projects editwise, except for the 4 I mentioned, to be honest. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 19:31, July 16, 2013 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. CommanderNuka (talk) 23:01, July 24, 2013 (UTC)

Images

Why are you uploading images with these crazy number names? I'm sure you can find better ones. When you rename them, please delete the old version (so move them). I uploaded a few new Fo1 sound files (Master and others). Maybe something for your news digest. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 18:43, July 28, 2013 (UTC)

Categorizing

Can you categorize your images next time you upload them? Thanks. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 14:29, August 4, 2013 (UTC)

The base speech bubble is hard-coded in the site CSS. All you have to do is put it in a div and declare the class: triangle-border; triangle-border left; triangle-border right; or triangle-border top. I've also made a simple template to add some simple style commands that, right now, resides in Jasper's user space. If you want to use it also, I can move it to the template space so it's easier to use. The Gunny  380px-USMC-E7 svg 15:13, August 4, 2013 (UTC)
Sorry to get back so late. The newest wolf account, and its sockpuppet, have already been globally disabled by wikia. That just means he has another IP and a new account somewhere. The Gunny  380px-USMC-E7 svg 00:02, August 7, 2013 (UTC)

News digest "New this week"

I added images to all FOT weapons. I got the idea yesterday when I noticed the Fallout: New Vegas weapon page is the most popular page on the wiki (although I knew that already). Best to emphasize on that and update the Tactics equivalent. Can you the Tactics weapon page to your digest? and I uploaded a bunch of soundfiles for the FO2- and even FOBOS characters. Maybe you can highlight one or 2 interesting ones. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 17:50, August 10, 2013 (UTC)

I can recommend posting a quote from Arch Dornan. They are memorable! Jspoel Speech Jspoel 18:52, August 10, 2013 (UTC)

Quick question

Hey Chad. Long time no talk eh? I was just wondering when the regular Apprentice season finishes and when the next one will start. If time allows, I might be able to participate (was inspired while reading some of Leon's entries) just for the fun and sharing some of my stuff. I think I'll be able to incorporate some of the content from my fan-fic and that hopefully it'll help rid the writer's block that I've been having for the past few months! --Skire (talk) 03:07, August 11, 2013 (UTC)

Re:Tonight

Thanks Chad, I appreciate it. I hope I didn't come off as too whiny earlier. When I get on about how I preferred chat as it was way back when, I tend to also get pretty closed minded and hostile about it. I can tell you're only trying to do whats right, and while sometimes I disagree I know you have good intentions. I know I've acted out of line at times, and I hope you can forgive me for that. I've been known to get wrapped up in this idea that everyone is out to get the chat mods, and that's not fair to you or any of the other admins. I feel there is a situation that needs rectifying there, but me mindlessly complaining like a child sure as hell is not the way to approach it. But if you'd like my input on anything, I'd be happy to discuss it with you. VictorFaceMonitor Might I Say You're Looking Fit As a Fiddle! Talk to me! 18:16, August 20, 2013 (UTC)

Community Opinion

Sorry for the constant delays, we've been tied up with some business, but we're going to try to get a video out if the wiki community would want one. In your next news post would you ask if they would want a video, and what they'd like it to be about? Thanks in advanced.

Something for your digest

Something for the "Administrative Enclave" section of your news digest: I've given Tribal Wisdom patroller rights. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 15:54, August 23, 2013 (UTC)

Look what I dug up from Fallout 2's game files. It's an image of a cut special encounter: King Arthur and his knights fighting a rabbit (look closely and you can see the rabbit which looks like a rat in the middle). Thought it would be a good one for your caption contest. File:King Arthurs Knights fighting a rabbit.png Jspoel Speech Jspoel 21:28, August 23, 2013 (UTC)

King Arthur's Knights fighting a rabbit

If you say so. I think you missed an opportunity for a nice quote there, but it's your choice. You could've cut it a bit so it would be enlarged. Anyway, I see 2 of my images there so that's nice too. And a lot of reading material for the fans, so good show. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 01:15, August 25, 2013 (UTC)

News Digest

Something for your digest. I added the soundfiles to the Fallout endings and Fallout 2 endings page. And The Gunny made a major update to the Fallout weapons page (icons). Jspoel Speech Jspoel 20:20, August 31, 2013 (UTC)

Got another one for next week. I added all background images from Fallout 3 loading screens and Fallout: New Vegas loading screens! Got the idea when I saw Theo do it on the Russian wiki. How are you btw, you seem to have less time for us when I look back on the summer. Already started the new chapter in your life at the university? Jspoel Speech Jspoel 14:30, September 4, 2013 (UTC)
I already got the feeling you felt less a spark for the wiki the past few months, and can't blame you. So much time without anything really new to report affects anyone, the number of chatters as well as edit activity. Maybe also the personal change in your life did something to you and you need to adjust. I'm not worried about our visitors, we're doing great I think, even with 700k visitors. Remember we're near the top 5, without a game for almost 2 years now. Once Fallout 4 news hits spirits will lift again. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 14:18, September 7, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for helping me with the music. It'll take me a bit to work it out though. I'm new to the whole adding to the wiki thing but I'll get better!!!

Isley

I'm glad we could find a compromise on the Piers Isley page. I went ahead and readded the image on Jenny Millet's page with a similar description. While I have your attention, I was wondering if you could take a look at this forum really quickly. I'm afraid it's been buried, and I'm just looking to get some input from the community. Thanks. 68.197.229.108 19:41, October 6, 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I'll be clearer in the future. If you're referring to the person who keeps adding in non notable loot, I had already left several edit summaries which say that randomized loot is not notable before I contacted him or her. 68.197.229.108 23:56, October 6, 2013 (UTC)

Showcasing some fan art?

I wasn't too sure on whom to suggest this to but, I figured since you do the News thing, you would be a good start. So as the title says, I had the idea that some how this wiki could show case some Fallout fan art. I know I'm not the only one with some fan art, and I would mind showing it off and getting some feedback. It's just an idea. Thanks for your time. --Santa Jaws (talk) 20:05, October 7, 2013 (UTC)

FOT Concept Art

Hi there. You were wondering the source of the Fallout Tactics Concept Art pictures, right? Well, I got them from the GOG Fallout Ultimate Collection, which contained Fallout 1, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics, along with -heaps- of extra stuff... like concept art.

Furthermore, most of the Concept Art is validated as belonging to Tariq Raheem, one of the main concept artists for Fallout Tacits, thanks to his signature in nearly all of the pictures.

And even the unsigned pictures can be guaranteed to be genuine, seeing as it's GoG.com that has released them... if I recall directly they are not allowed to include concept art and such in their releases -unless- it is genuine.

I hope that helps! :)

Hey there! Due to your community's enthusiastic participation in our last food fiction event, we wanted to extend to you and everyone on the Fallout community an offer to work on another round of our Food Fiction series. We just wanted to give you the heads up that a blog encouraging users to nominate foods from the Fallout universe for a "gaming themed" party will be going live in Monday, and we'd love it if you could do what you can to get your community pumped. Here's an example of what the submission post will look like: http://southpark.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Asnow89/Food_Fiction:_Submit_your_OWN_South_Park_Menu

Blog

Ok firstly, sorry for the inconvenience, I copied the category tag from your page since I thought it was meant to be there on blogposts that were aimed at interaction. Secondly, yes, as the situation is now, I'll probably update it weekly (except maybe during my exams) and the day it would be updated would be wednesday or thursday, but if you prefer it to be every week the same and that thursday is the best day for the community, then i'll try to update it everytime on thursdays. Considering the succes the blog had this week, I'll also try to expand it a bit when I have time so more people can participate. Greets

Great. Lets make Thursday your day. Hit me up when you post next and I'll give you the keys to the twitter. Agent c (talk) 22:31, October 26, 2013 (UTC)
I'll let you know (over chat or on the talkpage, whatever you prefer) when the next update will be posted, but about twitter, i have no clue how it works or whatsoever, the only thing i know about it is that politicians use it to post stuff they didn't think over, and that you have to stay within 140 characters :)
So maybe it would be better if someone else posts it for me, thanks for the offer and the trust though, I really apreciate it.
ok, great

Apprentice Final blog

Did you already ask Wikia to put the Apprentice Final on the main Video Games Page (From the Community section)? It should up there for some good exposure and promotion. You can ask JAlbor. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 19:19, October 31, 2013 (UTC)

Don't you want this blog for the Apprentice Final on the Video Games page? Last time it got us a lot of visitors more than normal. And I think we can be a test wiki for the visual editor. As long as the source mode stays available. I'll ask Gunny for his opinion too. Haven't seen him in a while. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 18:03, November 2, 2013 (UTC)

The VisualEditor feature

Hello. I'd like to know if this community might be interested in testing out the new VisualEditor option. You may have read some details about how it works on the Community Central forum and on the Help page. You can also check out the feature on the Community Test Wikia.

We'd be interested in enabling it here as soon as next Thursday or Friday, once the option to upload images and add videos has been released. Please let me know if this community might be interested, and if you have any questions or concerns please don't be shy. Thanks! -BertH (help forum | blog) 00:25, November 2, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for considering! As you may have noted from some of the information I linked to, the main "Edit" button will lead to the new VisualEditor. The current Wikia editing experience will still be available from the "Classic editor" option on the "Edit" drop menu. For most communities that means source mode and the older visual mode, but for Fallout it would just be source mode. We're also working on a way to edit source while using the new VisualEditor, which should be available in a few weeks (the "Classic editor" option will remain even after that, though). There is also an individual user preference to disable VisualEditor (currently separate from the existing "disable visual editing" preference). Let me know if you have any other questions. -BertH (help forum | blog) 17:27, November 4, 2013 (UTC)

The Anniversary

Am I still going to be an outcast ?

  • I am vein enough to say I have proved ~ I never meant any harm.
  • I am humble "enough" to admit ~ I was in a really dark place one year ago.

The US Veterans Administration calls it "Chronic Separation Anxiety". I'll be 50 in January & there will still be another six years after that before I can say "I spent one half my life in the military.." As it is, most of my life has been dedicated to the service of others.

  • The Army was my Evil bitch wife that I booth loved & despised.. I was a volunteer slave & I did not ask for their oh so HONORABLE retirement.
  • This life long relationship, too abruptly broken after recent combat deployment has marked me with suppressed anger issues.

I do not ask for any special pass, but I have spent this past year with the STAIN of a chat block above my name even as I have continued to contribute in good faith to this community.

  • I politely ask ask " May I please rejoin Nukapedia chat as a proven member of this community ?"

Reflections and Horizons

Hi There!

With the next generation of consoles all set to launch in a couple of weeks, Wikia thought it would be the perfect time for some of our most active community members to take a fond look back at the current generation. We’d love if you’d provide us with a piece — however long you see fit — wherein you reminisce about a topic of your choosing related to the current generation. We are going to present what you write in an upcoming feature called “Reflections.”

For example, you could write about memories of discovering and playing Fallout 3, providing us with examples of things that made the game resonate with you. Or, more generally, you could write about what this last generation of games has meant to you as a gamer.

We’re going to be looking to the future, as well, with a similar feature titled “Horizons.” If you could also let us know, in as many words as you like, what trends you’d like to accompany the next generation of games (and what you DON’T want to see) we’d really appreciate it.

Let me know what you think or if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Mhadick (talk) 20:55, November 6, 2013 (UTC)

note: If you're interested, please let me know as soon as possible. We'd like to have something by early Monday morning, ideally.

Chat conduct guideline changes

Hey C. In light of Saint Pain's chat ban and after some discussion with Leon and J I've decided to do some minor re-writes to the chat conduct guideline page. Basically what I'm looking to do is:

  • Remove the current ban guidelines and give more leeway for mods to ban people on a case-by-case basis
  • Add a provision for perma-banned users to appeal their ban immediately to a bureaucrat

There's a few other re-wordings and some stuff moved around, but those are the big things I think need need changing. You can find a draft here. I included an original copy of the guideline so you can see the changes. Please let me know what you think and if this is something you support. FollowersApocalypseLogosectatorapocalypsi 07:05, November 8, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your response. I don't want to give the impression that these are sweeping rules changes, it's more like rewording and revision. I feel that the wording currently in place implies a '3 strikes and you're out' policy which hasn't been very fair in some cases. The reason I didn't include other types of bans in the ban review section was because of the way the administration policy is worded. I was hoping to include only the permanent chat blocks on the chat page and leave the permanent site block information on the administration policy page. That page also doesn't have any mention of bans other than permanent, so I didn't see a need to include it on the chat page. I think you see the issues I'm trying to fix. Do you have any suggestions that might help to fix them? FollowersApocalypseLogosectatorapocalypsi 09:34, November 8, 2013 (UTC)

Brandon Fox (talk) 16:18, November 18, 2013 (UTC)

Hey Chad, when a Poll is done for the week, how do you prevent people from making any more votes on an old Poll? It just looks a bit weird when I cite the results and they inevitably end up changing,

Hey Chad, just wanted to make it clear that I wasn't intending to jump in to that conversation to take up a role that wasn't mine, I just thought that you might have missed it and I didn't want him to blank it again. Just thought I'd let you know my reasoning, I don't usually interfere in situations like that. FollowersApocalypseLogosectatorapocalypsis 00:58, November 21, 2013 (UTC)

Either way, I didn't want to seem like I was butting in. And you know me, I pride myself on objective neutrality. FollowersApocalypseLogosectatorapocalypsis 01:14, November 21, 2013 (UTC)

Survivor blog

I moved your Survivor blog to the news as a second entry. It's too soon and too important (even if it was partly a hoax) to remove it from the frontpage already. We need to give people access to it as easy as possible, at first click. We will hopefully encounter more Breaking News entries in the coming months so we need to keep that in mind. Other that that, thanks for all your great work keeping up with the Survivor news for us! Jspoel Speech Jspoel 17:51, November 21, 2013 (UTC)

Survivor 2299 News

I checked thesurvivor2299 not too long ago, I came across this code.

ZL QRNE FVFGRE. V'Z URNQVAT GB GUR VAFGVGHGR. TBQ XABJF JUNG UNCCRARQ GB GUVF CYNPR ABJ. GUVF BYQ ONFGNEQ JVYY URYC HF. UR ZHFG URYC HF. --0321--

After finding the code that was used, this translates to:

MY DEAR SISTER. I'M HEADING TO THE INSTITUTE. GOD KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS PLACE NOW. THIS OLD BASTARD WILL HELP US. HE MUST HELP US. --321--

So, now, if there is a Fallout 4 and this is no hoax, we can expect there to be an 'Institute some kind, and this may be the protagonist writing to his sister about a old man/thing that will help with whatever tragedy has befallen the 'Institute'.

You can put this in your 'living blog' about thesurvivor2299 if you want. I found it significant. Thanks!

As a big fan of Fallout, a big hopeful for Fallout 4 and someone fairly new to the wiki, I just wanted to thank you. In every gaming community I've been in, I don't think I've ever seen anyone as dedicated to a game or indeed it's community. xoxo Resident Strange-Tamer (talk) 23:32, November 22, 2013 (UTC)

You mentioned you couldn't get an image of the site saying 'Nuclear Winter is coming in x days x minutes and x seconds' so here is one I took this morning on my phone

Stuff

Agent, your next new digest, if it is coming today, can you add that a new search bar has been enabled by Wikia a few days ago (we're a testwiki) and add a small poll to how people like it (better or worse). Also add that Peace has become patroller. About the Survivor news; it needs to stay on the front page. So maybe you plan an update like TV did, but otherwise my suggestion is that when you add the new digest, remove the news category from the old one (temporarily) so the old news digest makes room for the new one (2 spots are available). And I think it's a good idea to rename your Survivor blog to minus ...End rolling coverage. It would indicate it's not a continuing story over here and that's not what we want people to think of course. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 15:46, November 24, 2013 (UTC)

A wise choice. I was already hoping you would make a new and fresh blog of this. Even if it turns out to be a dud (which I think it won't), we need to make this big for now and stay on top of this. The people want to read about it and be kept updated. My thanks for the work and research you've done for it. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 17:17, November 24, 2013 (UTC)

Caption contest

Some photo I took a while back on my awful phone, so it's pretty low quality, just happened to occur in Dupont Circle.

Vault Archives songs

I just noticed the songs from the Vault Archives use the publication infobox template. You created the song pages. Why did you use that template instead of the songs template? Maybe because the Vault Archives uses the publication template? Jspoel Speech Jspoel 16:10, November 25, 2013 (UTC)

Your news bit says that the supposed December 1st count down isn't showing up in your browser. Try clearing your system cache. In Google Chrome and Firefox this is done by pressing Shift and F5 simultaneously. Edit: I have no idea why this got posted under "vault archives songs"... I swear I didn't place it there manually.

Bible index, doc file

You created a {{Bible index table}}. Still has a redlinked doc file. Can you create some content for it? Jspoel Speech Jspoel 16:48, November 26, 2013 (UTC)

News

Hey there Chad. I've put up a chat mod rights request in the forum. Would you possibly be able to add it to the past edition of the news update? I would appreciate it. Blood handprintmorituri te salutamus 08:28, November 27, 2013 (UTC)

Fluid layout

Yes, that's probably a good idea. I think we're generally ok, because the most important change will be the width and (almost?) all our tables work with percentages (I think) so we should be good. But it's a major change so there are bound to arise some problems. For example the clear template that's being used maybe isn't necessary anymore for some pages (quests). Or some gallery that stretch too much. Not sure, we'll have to see. Can you set up a thread where remind people of the change 4 december and asking "all hands" to be on patrol for any odd changes. And where they encounter them, report it on the thread so we can take a look at it. Also for mobile. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 21:37, December 2, 2013 (UTC)

Caption image of the year

Agent, I'm thinking we could introduce a caption of the year contest. Nothing complicated, just a bit of easy fun. You started it in July this year and we now have about 22 images. There are some possibilities. We could make it 2 semifinals in your wiki news digest, with 11 images each and then a final with 8 or so in these final 3 weeks of the year. Or make it simpler, just one week, end of this month and you select the 8 with the most votes to compete against each other in digest of 28th of December. How's that sound? Jspoel Speech Jspoel 19:59, December 5, 2013 (UTC)

News digest

I read you are on lockdown for exams in the next 2 weeks. Will you still do the digest and monitor the Survivor site in the meantime? And on another note, we have still several Fallout add-on characters for which we don't know the voice actor. You think Matt Grandstaff from Bethesda could help us with that?

Polls

Hi Chad. If it's something you like, I'd need the template thing you use for showing a conversation between you and the secondary host on your Hole programme. This is basically the line I'm going on:

Sulik: We and I be being back.

Me: Um... Sulik? What are you doing here on the Polls?

Sulik: Hey, who you be being? We never be seeing you before, and where is de agent guy?

Me: I'm Brandon, I'm the new Poll guy, Chad's studio is just across the hall.

Sulik: What make you think We and I looking for dat poor excuse for a Brahmin's butt? Not like we and I be coming back to see him...

Me: Simmer down Sulik, I just figured because, you two got on quite well until, well, you left. Since you're here, you may as well stick around for this edition of the Polls.

Sulik: You be having any of de brahmin pee here to drink?

Me: Well, no, I can't stand that stuff. I have some coffee here that tastes like brahmin piss though... if you want that.

Sulik: Wimpy boy. Chad woulda' be drinking de brahmin pee like true man.

Me: You mean by forcing him?

Sulik: Yes yes, be being like true man.

Me: Eeurghhh, onto the results and polls

Sulik: Grampy be having some pee right here in bottle, still bit left. Here, just be trying one sip.

Me: Get that stuff away from me!

(scuffle) results and polls.

Me: Owww, my cheek...

Sulik: Look what you be doing now you be spiling brahmin pee all over carpet!

Me: Probably for the best. Except for the cleaner, that is. Say Sulik, where have you been all this time anyway?

Sulik: Me and Grampy not be want ingto discuss that with wimpy boy like you. And I def-Initaly not be being back to reunite with Chad, definitely not be missing him.

Me: I never said anything about reuniting with Chad...

Sulik: ....

Me: Chad does miss you though. Maybe you ought to see him? I'm sure he'd be happy. Even though he might not show it, I'm sure he feels it deep down.

Sulik: Maybe be doing just dat. Maybe we and I be saying... maybe.

Survivor site

Ok, so the Survivor site turned out to be false. But your watch on it was certainly not in vain and I think you realize that. Even if it was unsure, Fallout fans all over the world wanted to read about it and now they have seen how much we were on it, it can only leave a good impression for the future. It might have been real and imagine we had paid it little attention. They may have gone somewhere else to keep up to date. Now they know they can get their information and talk about it here. So great work you've done. When you look on the personal bright side, you can focus on exams for the next 2 weeks! Jspoel Speech Jspoel 16:12, December 7, 2013 (UTC)
