Quality images

Saint, that image of the Jefferson Memorial is substandard quality, so I'm removing it. I asked you before, can't you start the game setting the resolution to 1280*1024 pixels? That's the resolution I create my screenshots with. Jspoel 00:26, November 4, 2012 (UTC)

Now that's a lot better don't you think? Compare the two and I'm sure you'll agree with me. Maybe you can enhance the quality some more. I can do that in Photoshop by setting the quality to 10 or higher (standard 8). Jspoel 01:16, November 4, 2012 (UTC)

Badges

I wouldn't worry about it. They've been working on the achievement system in the past few days. The badges can only be viewed in groups of 9 now (you have to click on next) and the leaderboard now has little triangles behind the position to mark shifts in position I think. It still has some bugs like the messed up tracks' edit counts, but they'll set it right, I'm sure. Just make sure you make at least one edit a day and you'll reach that golden badge in 60 days.

Happy Veteran's Day!

Hello, SaintPain, as you are a veteran, I, among many others, appreciate your service. I wish you a happy Veteran's day, and give you a gift. Thank you for your service and for giving me advice about the Army.

You have been given A new sidearm. Your efforts and diligence have not gone unnoticed, and you have been given a small token of appreciation. Happy Veterans Day! "Semper Invictus" 15:42, November 11, 2012 (UTC)

Well, I'm glad to see that you weren't forgotten about. Happy Veteran's Day, SP. Thank you for all your service to our country! ~ Toci ~ ^{Go ahead, make my day.} 17:40, November 11, 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your service to we the People, and this great country SaintPain. You will always be remembered, and you will never be forgotten.

You have been given a new pistol for your armory!. Your efforts and diligence have not gone unnoticed, and you have been given a small token of appreciation. Happy Veterans Day to you! -- 17:28, November 11, 2012 (UTC)

You have been given a piece of Artillery just like you remember. Your efforts and diligence have not gone unnoticed, and you have been given a small token of appreciation. Saint Pain, I offically thank you for your service to your country. May your country never forget what you did for them. -- The Old World Relics (talk) 18:11, November 11, 2012 (UTC)

Saint Pain, even though it wasn't my country you fought for, you still deserve the same acknowledgement from everyone for the great service you did for your country. Thank you Saint Pain and may you keep on keeping on for many years to come being yourself. -- The Old World Relics (talk) 18:11, November 11, 2012 (UTC)

Vet's Day

From a mortarman to the artilleryman, Semper Fidelis, Saint. May your fuses always be set right and the round go out the right side of the tube.  The Gunny   01:57, November 12, 2012 (UTC)

Happy Veterans' Day, Saint! Thank you for your service. --Skire (talk) 02:55, November 12, 2012 (UTC)

Images

Saint, why did you change back to low quality images again? I rather see them uploaded on high resolution. Jspoel 15:36, November 16, 2012 (UTC)

Long time no see

Hey, buddy! What's new with you? Never get to see you when I jump on chat, you're never there. You seriously need some other way to be contacted. ☢Valoopy☣ 05:11, November 18, 2012 (UTC)

Background proposal

Glad you approve. I'll leave a message to Gunny's talk page - Leon and he have made those images (I just made a proposal). Energy X ∞ 14:12, November 19, 2012 (UTC)

The image has been made. See Forum:Proposal: Addition of a new background & banner. Just a note - the image has now been pixelated (too big), but when making the vote I'll note that the image will be smaller, less pixelated. Energy X ∞ 18:13, November 20, 2012 (UTC)

Dear Hearts

You don't remove the content from a page when you think a page doesn't belong. It appeared in the trailer and I've seen Ausir and Nitpicker of the Wastes working on it. So I guess a trailer song belongs on the wiki. Jspoel 04:01, November 20, 2012 (UTC)

You can also look at Orange Colored Sky. It was the trailer song in the UK, but never appeared in the game. --Kastera ^(talk) 04:07, November 20, 2012 (UTC)

Response

Hi Pain,

Firstly on the Interview thing, that already exists as the "featured Nukapedian" section on the Strategic Nuclear Moose. GarouxBloodline can give you more on that.

On the NPC thing, I have checked it occasionally and thought it was well written. I'll reread it later and be more detailed Agent c (talk) 12:44, November 21, 2012 (UTC).

Hi SP, just a quick update, haven't had the chance to reread your NPC in full detail... Theres a lot more there than I remember, so it seems to be something you're quite passionate about. I'll set aside some time on Tuesday for you. Agent c (talk) 15:44, November 25, 2012 (UTC)

Spotlight

Well, it would be nice, but Leon who made the Strategic Nuclear Moose blog already made the interviews. However, he is inactive, so we could make those interviews much more often. Energy X ∞ 14:26, November 21, 2012 (UTC)

Sounds like a good idea to me. Maybe make them less often, but otherwise fine. --Skire (talk) 17:34, November 21, 2012 (UTC)

Two things

First, I don't know of any sites for image effects. Maybe Js will know. I use GIMP on images, but I'm just a novice at it.

Second, Leon used to do some interviews. They were interesting. I'll run it by some of the other admins and see if it's something people are willing to do. I remember him having trouble finding people to interview at times. It could be something featured in the weekly news, though, if it can be done. The Gunny   20:34, November 21, 2012 (UTC)

AKA

I have a suggestion, maybe you should change your AKA to King of Pain, like in that Police song? It fits, I mean you are destined to be the King of Pain because you're the Saint of Pain at the moment.

Brandon Fox (talk) 23:46, November 21, 2012 (UTC)BrandonFox

Dear Hearts

I know it was an honest mistake, but I would think by now you should know not to remove content from pages, especially with these kind of legit pages with a complete infobox and plenty of content. When you read the page you will see the song's not in the game, but it is in the trailer. And these songs we mention too. Better ask an admin or post a comment on the talkpage in the future if you have doubts.

Featured Nukapedian is something Leon did in the past. But his time is becoming scarce and he doesn't have time for it anymore I think. Could be brought back as a link in the news digest, but I wouldn't do it every week. Every 2 weeks I think. Talk it over with Leon to learn how he did it and get some ideas on questions etc. Jspoel 19:22, November 22, 2012 (UTC)

Image deleted

I removed the image from the page because it didn't work, it was blank and when clicked would list as no longer available. WhiteReaper (talk)

I always sign my posts, I just forgot it this time. I'm new to the Fallout wiki but I already spent some time in other wikis. I know a lot about the games too, I actually spent over 200 hours in Fallout 3. I removed the image because I thought the image itself had been deleted and that the empty box had been left there. About the tildes, as far as I know 3 is only your username, 4 is the username + date/time. WhiteReaper (talk) 13:15, November 24, 2012 (UTC)

Of The Year ~Yes-Man~Served= Reply

Unfortunately I have no idea who than anon was, I have no clue as to how to track IP addresses. But yeah I agree, we need more people who speak up.

As for Yes Man, yes I nominate him for nukapedian of the year because I think that anon's nomination for him did not count because the rules state that only registered users may nominate, anons can only second. I'm changing my previous nomination for Jspoel to Yes Man.

Fight the power brother!

Images quality

I've uploaded a screenshot from my FO3 settings. I'm getting great results with it. I wonder why it is you have images 30-40kb and sometimes 200-300kb. I rather see them consistent large sized. Also the angle is not always that great. Hovering 90 degrees (so topside image) is not that good. Better lower the angle. Don't know how the Calverton name was found. Maybe in a reference somewhere in the game (holodisk/terminal message). Jspoel 18:47, November 24, 2012 (UTC)

This image is what I meant as a 90 degrees shot. It doesn't view well. I had to turn my head to get an idea of what it was. Good quality btw.

Then an image you uploaded later on: File:Calverton pulpit. Lying, Congressional Style.jpg. Poor in quality and such a difference with the previous (20kb). Don't understand that.

I don't have to really fiddle with my photoshop program (I do use Auto Contrast though). The image comes out standard 1280*1024. After that I cut it a bit. Jspoel 19:32, November 24, 2012 (UTC)

(←)  What you post on your userpage is up to you, can be low quality (don't really see a difference between the image on my talkpage and your userpage btw). But I want good quality images on the article pages. That's also a policy. Jspoel 19:58, November 24, 2012 (UTC)

A project I would welcome a cold eye on- Reply

Okay first off, I'm not experienced with giving input on fan-made companions and game stories ect, but I'll give it a shot.

First off, I'm confused how with a lobotomy, this character is the way she is. Lobotomy refers to the cutting of nerve connections between the frontal lobes and the rest of the brain. The frontal lobes are the seat of the higher functions such as love, self-insight, creativity, judgement, future planning. She shouldn't still be able to love her father, she shouldn't be able to be so creative with weapon design. A lobotomy would not "gift" her in melee weapons, explosives, improvised weapon design, pyromania and gourmet cooking like you said in the beginning, but would rather deprive her of those skills. Not only that, the back-story didn't even say that the lobotomy is what gave her these impressive skill-sets, it was because of the books she read when she was younger which gave her these skill-sets. In this regard, this hardly makes her a unique character since she is just a brain-damaged brute.

My second concern is that I would rather prefer an option which allows the player to restore her humanity, like the happy way she was when she was a child, a way to save her from the psychopathic way she currently is so to speak. I don't quite like the damaged beyond salvation approach you've decided to go with her. Allowing the player to complete a side-quest regarding fixing her her brain and mind could offer some possibilities to the player! Choosing to fix her brain, restore her humanity will cause Polly to lose the mask and reveal her face, scarred from the pain she had to endure when her father placed the mask on her. After this, the next part of the quest is to bring her to a doctor to do some surgery to her face to get her looking nice again, remove the horrible scars. At this point, the player can choose what they want her face to look like, maybe they can even choose to restore her original beautiful looks at her current age?

Of course, going this "good" route has some downsides, first off, she has a conscious now, and will decide to leave you if you do too many bad actions like murdering innocent people or going the bad route in quests eg. She will also lose her skills in melee weapons and pyromania, as well as a fairly big decrease to her attack damage. On the plus side, due to becoming more friendly and peaceful, she has devoted her time more to Repair and Cooking. When crafting items, you get access to secret foods which heal a lot of health such as imitation Deathclaw omelet; no more looking for deathclaw eggs and lakelurk meat! And you get to repair items using similar items in its class (she grants effects similar to the Jury Rigging perk. Polly can repair a Sniper rifle with a hunting rifle, a .44 revolver with a crummy 9mm pistol).

Going the bad route, and deciding to press the mask further into her face, causes her to stay the same, an obedient slave to you. Obviously, she doesn't care if you act evilly during quests and have bad karma. She gets an great increase in damage and damage threshold and gets an even more improved version of her Firestarter perk?

That said I hope you found what I said useful, although I was probably quite crap in giving advice, I've never commented on fan made characters before...

But please, give the player a chance to restore Polly to her good, kind and beautiful self, or I'll be sad ;(

Continued replies and shizz

Ha, yeah, "job creation" doesn't matter when the companies have no choice but to pay new workers less, thanks to loopholes and capitalism (which is apparently the devil himself, even though our country RUNS on it). Don't you worry your pretty little head- I didn't follow the sheep of young voters OR the Romney "He's Not Obama" voters. I threw mine away and voted for Johnson! Worth it though. -- ☢Valoopy☣ 02:10, November 27, 2012 (UTC)

Something for you to take a look at

I have just written my thoughts on the endings for Fallout New Vegas on my profile page, about who I think is best to run Vegas. I go into a lot of detail. Want to give it a read?

Brandon Fox (talk) 16:49, November 27, 2012 (UTC)

Categorizing images

Now your images are of good quality, although you can still fiddle a bit with the angles. I saw one or two with a 90 degrees downward angle which is not the best. And you can categorize them, you can see how on User_talk:Eden2012#Images. For Fallout 3 locations it's [[Category:Fallout 3 location images]]. Jspoel 17:16, November 27, 2012 (UTC)

Background

Thanks. I was trying to tie in the Nuka-cola bottlecap wordmark and the "vault" theme. It's a little dark for my tastes, and the only background fade color that looks good with it is black. I plan on taking the same shot with the lighting turned up. I want it a bit lighter and the fade color I'd like to make it work with is that soft creamy brown in the floor tiles. The Gunny   21:12, November 27, 2012 (UTC)

Had a bad day- Reply

Sorry to hear about your truck. Must have been quite an experience to have it smashed and go the poor person's house who done it, who by the sound of things doesn't have a dollar to his name and is in real bad financial shape. While I have sympathy for him, I can't stop feeling that this could have been avoided if he didn't run that stop sign like an idiot, and/or just wasn't driving anyway due to his revoked license. Anyway, hope things get better for you.

Cheers for the extra points on NCR by the way, I'll see to adding in something like that.

No gods, No masters. Brandon Fox (talk) 13:23, November 29, 2012 (UTC)

I also found this to be quite interesting reading. I agree with it quite a lot and I support it. Some of ties into why me and you prefer Yes Man over NCR, Legion and Mr House.

Polly

Sorry its taken this long for me to get around to it.

Writing that has clearly been a a labour of love, and I'm glad you choose to share it with the world.

I think you've shown great insight into how "Good people go bad", spiraling years of abuse and neglect into the shattered remains of a person. It very much explains how she got the way it is - normally overlooked when fiction calls for a psycho - they're just a psycho and thats it.

The only minor issue I have is I'm not sure how it fits into Fallout centuries after the bombs... Is she Ghoulafied? Have her fathers' experiments extended her life, etc?

But very well done. I hope you consider joining in the Apprentice next year, as I think you'll do well if thats the quality of entry we can expect. Agent c (talk) 00:20, December 6, 2012 (UTC)

Reverted edits

Saint, I reverted your edits on the Fallout Tactics character pages. Your edits weren't improvements, just leave it in present tense. And why did you change 'is' into 'Was' with a capital W? I don't understand why you do that, it's in the middle of a sentence. Jspoel 17:40, December 10, 2012 (UTC)

Hi

Hello, I'm sorry if I am bothering you by leaving this message but I'd like to thank you for replying to my blog and wish you a happy new year too. Corniolio (talk) 02:34, December 15, 2012 (UTC)

Thank you, I've had a bumpy ride so far in this wiki and for many reasons I feel I'm far more disliked than liked here. So it really means a lot to me. I also used your words in a few previous requests because I really agreed with them and they summed my views perfectly, I really hope that's ok with you. Corniolio (talk) 15:58, December 16, 2012 (UTC)

Your comments.

Hello there! Just wanted to let you know (in case you don't return to the discussion page) that I completely agree with your sentiment on the addition of new rules. To me, intent is everything and often I feel it is overlooked and taken too seriously. Obviously, there are limitations (you can't poison people and claim it was a joke, for example), but still things should be taken in jest especially when it is clear that they aren't meant seriously, or in good faith if they are said for the right reasons, albeit in the wrong way. Personally I think your ban is unfair for what transpired, and I have voiced my sentiment to Jspoel. When the time comes I will support your reinstatement as I did before.

Also heard through the grapevine you were a Marine. As an ex-PMC I can tell ya that the Marines saved my skin on more than one occasion, and they were always polite and courteous even though we were technically mercs. It may be inappropriate, but Semper Fi.

^{Apocalypse Now!} 10:16, December 16, 2012 (UTC)

I'm glad you appreciated my comments. People really need to, as I like to say, take a chill pill.

As for my merc days a lot of the stuff I can't elaborate on too much; it would be breach of contract. I'm Canadian and I worked as a private military contractor for 2 different private security firms in Iraq and Afghanistan. I worked private security detail for a while, mostly guarding lower-level diplomats and government officials. After a couple of close calls (again, the Marines saving my ass from being handed to me) I decided to get out of the whole putting my ass on the line for corrupt politicians thing and moved into intelligence (or what they call 'information reporting'). Basically just hanging around the middle east for a bit. I still owed them some time so I signed up with an EOD team to finish out my contract. Luckily most of the crap we dealt with was false alarms and weak ass IEDs. I never dealt with the bomb stuff, mostly just drove the guys in the suits places they needed to go and make sure they didn't get shot at. Never killed anyone that I know of, thank God. It was a good experience and I would probably go back in it again, but not the middle east. Maybe if we get involved in South America or East Asia somewhere. ^{Apocalypse Now!} 06:44, December 17, 2012 (UTC)

I worked with a few Blackwater mercs. In my opinion that company hires the wrong kind of people, too many unstable pumped up jocks who'll shoot anything that moves. The guys I worked with weren't too bad, but they did have that crazed temperament about them. I'm grateful for the Jarheads though, I was riding shotgun in an armoured limo once and we drove into the wrong place at the wrong time. Luckily a squad of Marines was on the street over and rushed over to help. Even after all my reservations about the military it was a proud moment to be fighting along side them. I wouldn't go back into the game unless there was a major NATO or UN op somewhere where people like me tend to come in useful. I'm not looking to guard drug lords or human traffickers. Maybe put some bullets in their head, though. Then again, some of those bastards I guarded probably deserved it too. At least I was always working for the 'right' side, but you never know what people are guilty of. ^{Apocalypse Now!} 07:53, December 17, 2012 (UTC)

Oh you didn't don't worry. By the 'right' side I mean I was generally working for governments who were in the process of reconstruction, as it were. The problem is that even though there may be a regime change, the new leadership is not always the better choice, or even an improvement. See Egypt right now. I don't have any serious problems with America or NATO or any of those peacekeeping nations but there are some bad people in power in the middle east because of them. That's all I'm saying. ^{Apocalypse Now!} 23:54, December 18, 2012 (UTC)

Cooking Blog

Hi SaintPain,

Saw your cooking blog... If you want people to comment you need to make sure the "enable commenting" box is ticked.

I've been thinking of trying to pull together a "How to cook rat" Fallout-esque cookbook (inspired from the F1 manual). Might be a good thing to maybe pull together as a charity thing for Easter or something.... Lemmie know if you have any thoughts. Agent c (talk) 22:21, December 18, 2012 (UTC)

How is it a bug to wear headwear and eyewear at the same time? Paladin117^{>>iff bored;} 02:40, December 20, 2012 (UTC)

CSA

Hello, Saint. I would like to first state that I still approve of having an image made to bear witness to a fairly unique glitch. If you'd like, I would have no problem with you adding that image, on the grounds that we don't really need the other image anymore. I do approve of this new image, though, as it shows that both headwear and glasses may be worn with the Chinese stealth suit. I hope this compromise it to your approval. Just trying to keep down image clutter is all. ^{Some Assembly Required!} 03:26, December 20, 2012 (UTC)

I think I know of a way to make everyone happy. Go ahead and re-add that image, and I'll captions to them that should allow both images to appropriately stay. I hope this will be to your satisfaction. ^{Some Assembly Required!} 03:49, December 20, 2012 (UTC)

Yep

I know. If the missing a day in a row for editing would erase all my progress for the "1,500 edits" badge was true, I'd be hopping mad. But thankfully it isn't that way, so no worries there. Whew!Leea (talk) 23:13, December 22, 2012 (UTC)

Categorizing

Saint, when you upload images you need to categorize them. I'm having a ton of work on it. Already told you earlier. Jspoel 17:17, December 25, 2012 (UTC)

Man, I look forward to the day when I die! It means I'll finally know the answer to one of the most talked about questions in life. Sometimes, I think about where I would go if I happened to die the next day

Brandon Fox (talk) 22:26, December 26, 2012 (UTC)

How to categorize

It's really not that hard. Upload an image with the Add an Image button, select your image and proper licensing, then upload the image. After that go to Special:Log/upload, which is the upload log. You can also find that log at the top of recent changes, log section. There you will see your uploaded image listed at the top. Click on the image name (righthandside, where it says file:...). Click on the Edit button to edit the image and to add the category. It will already say: Licensing and {{Copyright ...}} because you added the license earlier. Go one line below the copyright tag and add [[Category:Fallout 3 location images]] if it's a Fallout 3 location image. If it's a user image add [[Category:User page images]]. Save and the category has been added. Check at the very bottom of the page to see the category. Jspoel 00:46, December 27, 2012 (UTC)

There's an even easier way. You can add the category when you upload the image. There's a box on the image upload interface that's titled "Summary". All you got to do is add the category there before you click upload file. You got to know the category to use (there's no link suggest in that window), but most of the ones you already know, like Js listed above. Hope that helps. -Semper Fi- The Gunny   01:16, December 27, 2012 (UTC)

Images

No, the category didn't take for some reason. I took a screen shot of the image upload interface and made a blog to help show folks how to add the category and license. User_blog:The_Gunny/Image_uploading,_categorizing_and_licensing. Take a look at that and tell me if I explain it good enough. The Gunny   03:09, December 27, 2012 (UTC)

Nope. For some reason, the category wasn't there on each of those image. I added the categories by hand by going to the actual file pages, smacking the edit button and adding [[Category:User page images]]. You can always do it that way if they category isn't added during upload. The Gunny   20:23, January 3, 2013 (UTC)

Evergreen Mills

Hay Saint. I saw your edit on Evergreen Mills and the creation of the 'Interactions' section. Problem is the 'Interactions' section violates the format for Fallout 3 locations, but I agree it doesn't belong in the exterior section. Maybe it can be moved to the notes section? Just wanted to get your feedback before changing it.

Also, thanks for the gift at Xmas, I meant to send you a message but I got a bit busy. It's appreciated. ^{nihil novi sub sole} 03:49, January 10, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback, I'll take a look at it again and see what the best solution is. All the best to you my friend! ^{nihil novi sub sole} 05:09, January 10, 2013 (UTC)

Game Room

Yeah, everything looks fine, it's just in the wrong category. But that's easy to fix. I'm afraid that the Strategic Nuclear Moose is going to be closed for a while, though. There's a lot of things I need to deal with in my life, and I'll be taking a break from Nukapedia except to participate in Neko's P&P. ^{Some Assembly Required!} 15:58, January 10, 2013 (UTC)

Fallout 4 teased by voice of 3-Dog

Jeez man, talk about some incredibly angry anons you find on this Wikia, in case you haven't noticed the huge topic I accidentally created and made into a debate.

Brandon Fox (talk) 10:26, January 13, 2013 (UTC)

Hi Saint,

Glad to hear from you, as a very creative person you're someone I'm really hoping will play.

The challenge you need to write for to start is User_blog:Agent_c/Nukapedia_News_Digest_-_5_Jan_2013#Its_approaching_Apprentice_time_again here. There's no deadline yet, but it will be sometime in February.

What will happen is, presuming we get more than 4 entires, the judges will pick 4 to play in this years Fallout Apprentice, and 4 from last year will hopefully play too. It will work similar to the game last year (and similar to this challenge) in that each week the judges will rank the entries, and the lowest 3 go to community vote.

The challenges are likely to be one a month, and they get bigger as time goes on.

It might look challenging to start, but the easiest way is to write it like an article on the wiki, and then make sure you've ticked all the boxes in the challenge.

It might seem a bit tricky or confusing to start, but let me know if you have any questions and I'll be more than happy to get you along the path. Agent c (talk) 23:19, January 13, 2013 (UTC)

Hmm, good question. There isn't any specific rule on using stuff you've created before, so if Polly fits into one of the challenges (say a quest is given by a town you design to get revenge for her burning someting), then I see no reason why you couldn't use her. Agent c (talk) 23:45, January 13, 2013 (UTC)

I'll reply back tomorrow. Time for me to get some Z's. Agent c (talk) 02:37, January 15, 2013 (UTC)

When you said you lost some of your member rights, did you mean you lost your member's right to use the chatroom? That would explain why the top of your profile says 'banned'. Not like I ever use the chatroom anyway, I was just curious.

Brandon Fox (talk) 16:44, January 15, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks

What can I say, I enjoy being the eccentric, being the one saying the things no one else is saying. That's how you keep things interesting, shit gets boring with the quickness otherwise. :P

Works out for me too because I've always idolized underdog factions, always admired the factions poorly elaborated on. Enclave is by far my very favorite, in front of Cerberus from Mass Effect.

Glad you enjoy it though. -- 07:40, January 18, 2013 (UTC)

Psychotic perk

Nice one, isn't it? What do you think of ? Just one you would like too right? I took that Psychotic perk image from the Fallout Tactics data files and made it transparent. If you think you can use it for your story, go ahead. Looks to me it would fit in there. (You forgot to categorize your images today again). Jspoel 02:52, January 21, 2013 (UTC)

You can find all perk images in Category:Perk images. Tons of 'em. Almost all are originally from the games and made transparant by me, GhostAvatar and Itachou. About the category: you added the category to the Nuka-Cola plant page and not the image itself. You need to access/edit the image like I described earlier. Jspoel 03:11, January 21, 2013 (UTC)

Game Room

Just letting you know that I'm pretty much back, now, and that I'll be doing my best to release a new Moose edition by tonight. I'll make sure to advertise the Game Room a lot more with the next edition so that way you can gain some competition. I'm hoping a lot more people start participating in it. I've been surprised with the lack of attention to it so far. :/ ^{Some Assembly Required!} 17:09, January 21, 2013 (UTC)

It's taking me a bit longer to release the next edition. I think I'll end up releasing it tomorrow as later today I'll be releasing a forum over the Moose and I'll be going around trying to recruit more Patrons for the cause. Oh, and thanks for the advertising suggestion. I just might do that. ^{Some Assembly Required!} 15:00, January 22, 2013 (UTC)

Re:

Basically the goal is to create a new shop for either Rivet City or the Hub that is an original idea (so it could be a shop that has a niche not already filled by the community or a shop with something unique about it) that uses relevant Fallout information. I stretched the meaning of that a little by using real charcters and locales, but by creating an alternative storyline (which we're all technically doing by adding a fictional store in the first place). Also the top 4 finishers from last time can qualify simply if they ask, and the remaining 4 spots are the top 4 qualifying entries. I'm the 4th official entry, so there's likely to be some people who are cut. Feel free to ask me any other questions, and thanks for your compliments! :) 01:43, January 23, 2013 (UTC)

Not at all! As far as I know, there is still several weeks left. 03:27, January 23, 2013 (UTC)

Apprentice

I still need to confirm a few details. The hope is that it will offically "open" in the next week or two, with entries due some time towards the end of Feb. Agent c (talk) 03:11, January 24, 2013 (UTC)

Absolutely include the extra items. I'm going to post a note saying you should make sure its intergrated with the game - so including a lot of detail on the quest is a really good idea. You can create an extra blog page or two if you want to create a lot of detail and make an article style page on a character or quest. Agent c (talk) 01:44, January 25, 2013 (UTC)

I found that on google....

Picture

Hey SP. Would ya mind if I use your Independent Vegas pic as my avatar? It fits really well with my alignment in New Vegas and I just generally like the image. I'll credit you on my userpage too. ^{nihil novi sub sole} 10:58, January 27, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, I appreciate it. It's not that one, the more basic one with just the followers logo and the stars and such. I can save it remotely and upload it as my avatar. Thanks again. ^{nihil novi sub sole} 17:23, January 28, 2013 (UTC)

Thank you brother. I quote like it myself ;) ^{nihil novi sub sole} 02:48, January 30, 2013 (UTC)

Book-ends

I absolutely love them, Saint. And if you keep throwing me works-of-arts like you have been, I will most certainly keep show-casing them on the Moose and its many programs. Thank you again for your patronage. ^{Some Assembly Required!} 20:10, January 29, 2013 (UTC)

Images Galore! Cont.

Give the artist some sweet love. ^{Some Assembly Required!} 07:31, January 30, 2013 (UTC)

Images

Hi Saint! Nice images you are putting up to decorate our articles. Can I ask you to not add image categories to the article though? They are only for the file page, not the actual article. Thanks =) --Skire (talk) 02:03, February 1, 2013 (UTC)

Saint. When you upload an image. Go to this link right here. Check the file you just uploaded. Hit edit on the file page. Then that is where you add the category. Just slap it there and the licensing too. And your done. There is another way, but I have no idea how to do it to be honest. This method works as per my experience. See you around Saint! Yours Always; --The Old World Relics ^{(talk/blog/contributions)} 04:31, February 1, 2013 (UTC)

Like OWR says, go to that log upload and click on your images there to edit and categorize them: . Not on location pages themselves. Jspoel 14:09, February 1, 2013 (UTC)

Re: ICBM

I agree, it's a nice image. Jspoel's the one that uploaded it to the Launch page. I just added it here as it's the only image of an ICBM we have on the wiki. My worries are more related to formatting. Richie9999 (talk) 05:03, February 2, 2013 (UTC)

Apprentice

Thats probably when a close of submissions is likely... But might be worth bearing in mind, there's going to be one of these challenges once a month, and they get bigger from here... Might be worth double checking to make sure you're not going overboard. Agent c (talk) 20:30, February 2, 2013 (UTC)

Hi Saint, most up to date is here, there will be further info though soon when I get prizes confirmed. Agent c (talk) 13:11, February 3, 2013 (UTC)

Basically the way it works is the next challenge will be something completely different... It wont relate to this entry at all. I can't comment in detail on specific entries, but it sounds like you're ticking all the boxes. Agent c (talk) 04:02, February 4, 2013 (UTC)

Screens

I'd say that anything that started as a screen shot of the game should be classified as copyrighted material and use the "this image is a screen shot from XXX game" license. That way you're covered. Even if you dramatically alter the original image, it started as copyrighted material. Technically, this is kind of a "fair use" type thing, but we have the licenses for the individual games, so I'd use that. The Gunny   19:00, February 8, 2013 (UTC)

Hi Saint,

I've set out some proposed milestones for the New User Network. These are sort of optional (in that its where everyone should be heading, but the actual criteria are just suggested and mentees/mentors are free to come up with their own together). Please let me know what you think.

Oh, and on the Apprentice template thing... there is one. I'll be redoing it for this year shortly. Agent c (talk) 18:56, February 9, 2013 (UTC)

Music.

Hah thanks man. We both have excellent taste in soundtrack music I suspect. It's from Heavy Rain, Scott Shelby's main theme song to be exact. It's a very epic game with a very dark and gritty atmosphere, my favorite kind of atmosphere by the way. After playing through it for like the 6th time, I got to thinking as that track played throughout the game 'goddamn that reminds me of CRONOS', and so I decided to adopt it as a theme song for him.

Here's a link to it on Youtube if you wanna listen to it there too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cmgvr-TdsRo

Thanks for taking such an interest in my shindig by the way, it means a lot man because it encourages me to keep it ongoing with redoubled efforts. Stay tuned, much more coming and thanks again.

As for the blog idea, I think that'd be epic. Music is personalization defined in my eyes, and helps define our characters, whether it be their personality, their atmosphere, or the vibe you get from them. Music can define it all if you pick suitable enough music. 11:58, February 10, 2013 (UTC)

SigmaDelta

Saw your blogs but can't add a comment when working from my phone...

The Artist formerly known as SigmaDelta54 is currently known as Skire. That of course doesn't answer the question of who he is though... Agent c (talk) 16:20, February 10, 2013 (UTC)

Hah.

Just because we may share differing philosophies and/or factions doesn't mean we can't be friends, of course. It is indeed just apart of immersion so no hard feelings. 23:37, February 11, 2013 (UTC)

Apprentice

Hi Saint

Just a note letting you know that the Fallout Apprentice qualification round will close at 23:39 23 Feb 2013 (GMT). You need to ensure that your challenge is linked to the blog below, or my talk page prior to this time. If there are any problems with this, please let me know.

I strongly recommend reading the official announcement blog here. I have included some general notes for all contestants that may affect your entry.

(PS, sorry this is a few days earlier than planned... I'm trying to time the next round to hit a certain date that helps with Wikia's marketing for the contest...)

Good Luck. Agent c (talk) 17:15, February 12, 2013 (UTC)

Court business

Sorry to hear about the problems you have at the moment in your personal life. Meet me in XCOM wiki chat when you can to talk about your request. You can send me a post when you're in there. Jspoel 00:04, February 17, 2013 (UTC)

Missed you in XCOM chat. Send me a talkpage notice next time, so I'll know you're there. Jspoel 01:46, February 17, 2013 (UTC)

I'm still in XCOM chat, so get in there if you can. Jspoel 01:58, February 17, 2013 (UTC)
