Dear (USERNAME)

You have been banned from chat for (TIME) for breaking Rule #. Contact Myself or another admin/mod after three days have passed to have your ban lifted. In the meantime, review the guidelines.

Sincerely, -- Agent c

It would require you to manually add the username, rule broken, and duration. Not sure if you can be bothered doing that for every ban. Otherwise, if you like it, feel free to use it. Yes Man defaultUser Avatar talk 06:25, February 18, 2012 (UTC)

On a lighter note, I'm glad you started this program and I really hope it can help at least a few newer users. I'll be more than happy to sign up as a mentor when I get back home on Friday/Saturday. Only one taker though... hopefully it'll pick up soon. Dragon Skål! 01:59, March 21, 2012 (UTC)

Well, as long as it helps I suppose I shouldn't really complain. Just thought it was ironic is all. Dragon Skål! 02:08, March 21, 2012 (UTC)

A certain project.

Hello, Agent! Well, I'm writing because I heard you're the man to talk to when one needs to spread the word around about projects. I've just started the Fallout 1/2 Quotations Project (http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_Wiki:Fallout_1/2_Quotations_Project), whose purpose you may know, taking into account my specialty here at Nukapedia. The project is an attempt to improve the conceptual aspects of early Fallouts articles, and it'll make my job a lot easier and more organised. Also, in the future, I can organise a Fallout 3/New Vegas Quotations Project, who knows. I hope you can help me. Cheers,

--Crimson Frankie 05:52, March 21, 2012 (UTC)

Well, Agent, thanks for everything, first and foremost. The soundbyte is as follows.

The articles of this wiki have an outstanding amount of information. As a long-term reader, I’ve always appreciated that. One particular part of the articles that I’ve always found singular was the quotes section: remarkable sentences that conceptually define the subject the article is about, be it a character or a whole faction. They literally open the article, and they provide the readers with in-game lines that sometimes can give them goosebumps – like the ones found on Marcus’ article do with me–, and make those readers more familiar with the actual feeling of the game. Unfortunately, some notable pages lack quotes – especially from the earlier games –, and as a new editor, having already added quotes to several articles, I want to change that. The Fallout 1/2 Quotations Project aims to add those pleasant, precise quotes that may seem like a simple element, but that make Nukapedia so appreciable and complete. My intention is to improve and beautify Fallout 1 and 2 articles, but perhaps there will be another opportunity for a Quotation Project for the new games as well. That's part of my mission, and any contributor will be very welcome.

Crimson Frankie.

I hope it's okay. Since I'm not a native English speaker, there can be some mistakes or typos there. Feel free to correct them. ;-) I also hope the format is right. Cheers, mate.

Hello there. Well, straight to it I guess, myself being fairly new still to this wiki and its workings, would love to join your newly created (and may I say great idea) New User Network.

The weapon condition project is now officially finished! Big thanks to our participants, especially The Gunny, who spearheaded much of the project. The project's goal was to include information on weapon durability for every unarmed, melee, and projectile-firing weapons in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.

Hey Chad, I've gotten your message about the help with editing, you asked me which game(s) I prefer and which kind of articles, well, I prefer Fallout 3 over the other ones, and about what kind of articles I might want to write, I do not really have an opinion about which kind I like the best, anything would be fine for me. I am most likely to be on the NukaPedia at 17:00 (Berlin, Paris and Amsterdam time zone) and later, to about 21:00. Thanks for the help in the future, appreciate it!

Sessions will be held over on my wiki's chat, for convenience, and will mostly be weekends and evenings(weekdays, which coincide with your schedule) we will base off the game but it will take place in another city. I will play the part of the DM(environement, NPCs, Combat outcomes) and maybe some other minor characters.

Well I am truly sorry to hear about Yes-Man's argument and his subsequent departure from the Wiki, I am glad that you were able to step in as my mentor for the New User Network and informed me of everything.

Again, thanks for the heads up and I look forward to your helping me and and hopefully Yes-Mans return. --The Old World Relics 22:55, March 23, 2012 (UTC)

I don't know what to think. Part of me wants this to be over and done with right now so I can get on with it. The other part of me is ashamed of facing the community again... I don't know why, maybe because I'm more trouble than I'm worth. Really, this place would do just fine without me. I'm feeling more and more like regardless of what I do, it's not getting through to anyone and nothing will really change. A lot of people seemed to like me better when I kept my mouth shut. And so far I'm the worst mentor the NUN has ever had the displeasure to receive. Sorry about that. Yes Man defaultUser Avatar talk 00:57, March 24, 2012 (UTC)

There's a difference between them voting no for me and them outright being rude.
He (Cartman) was not the one to lose his composure, insult another editor nor perform a dramatic and immature drama stunt.— Scarface


...Pulled yet another of our wiki's patented drama stunts in "leaving until Cartman! is gone."— Scarface again


...and outright insulting another user like that is unacceptable.— Oh, gee. Scarface... once again


It smacks me as validation seeking, as if his intention were to make it so that people would beg him for him to comeback, and meet him with fanfare when he finally does.— Limmiegirl


It was completely appalling to see an administrator resort to what's essentially a childish tantrum and passive-aggressive emotional blackmail to get his way.— Limmiegirl


We can't have admins spazzing out because of a measly argument.— Oct


It's exactly these kinds of outbursts that everybody is fed up with YM.— Limmie


Stop acting like a spoilt child.— Wow, Scar is on an insult roll


In my eyes, that seems really, really butthurt.— WeirdoWithCoffee, regarding my expression of emotions


A lot of these quotes are one sided. I'm feeling attacked by people I cared about. It's not nice, I tell you what. They all of a sudden think they know me and they know how I feel. They seem to ignore the fact that Cartman started insulting me first. These people who've known me for a few months think they're fucking experts on me, when really they're just saying what they see. It hurts. These are insults. I don't know why they're going on about why people are sick of me for this, because it's the only time I've ever done it. The comments don't make me wanna stay here. Yes Man defaultUser Avatar talk 01:29, March 24, 2012 (UTC)
Please note YM that all my comments were directed at your behaviour and actions, not at you or your person. So please stop taking them as direct and personal attacks. That's exactly the kind of behaviour I called immature. Limmiegirl Lildeneb Talk! ♪ 01:35, March 24, 2012 (UTC)

I take being called a spoilt child, saying that I spaz out, implying that everyone is fed up with me, and making it out as if Cartman is completely innocent and didn't do anything to warrant my behaviour as being personal. I don't know about you, but if someone were to insult me in public then call me a spoilt child for reacting, generally I'd take offence. I can't help it if I get offended by these statements. Nor do I consider them attacks on my personality, which might I add, this is the only time I've acted up like this. So to say that they're "fed up" with me is nothing short of bullshit, or just an opportunity to say something bad about me. Yes Man defaultUser Avatar talk 01:41, March 24, 2012 (UTC)

I don't recall calling you a spoilt child. And we're fed up with the whole admin weekly drama, not just your actions specifically. Yours just happened to be the drop that made the glass overflow. Limmiegirl Lildeneb Talk! ♪ 01:47, March 24, 2012 (UTC)
Yessie, just because I disapproved of your actions doesn't mean you're any less of a friend to me. I am just generally hard pressed as to why you got so angry over ONE user insulting you. I get my feelings hurt all the time, it happens to everyone. Cartman is one user on this wiki in a sea of other users. You're friends are there for you, and a word of advice from your friend: by acting in such a rage towards simple primitive insults will get you less respected by veterans and newbies in the like. Don't leave over such a simple thing, Yessie. Please. --    Contr        KOROMO        Talk      01:50, March 24, 2012 (UTC)

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────We'll see how things turn out on April 6. Regardless of how the vote is going, I don't know if I want to stay yet. I'll think about it. But honestly, it's not easy for me that once I speak out, people don't like what I have to say. I'm not the smartest nor am I the most socially-confident person in the world. So, you know, it wasn't easy for me to articulate what I wanted to explain. And Cartman was just making it worse.
There are still many people here who I care about. But for the most part, it's seeming more and more like this isn't the kind of community I want to be a part of. It was a simple concept I wanted to incorporate. This "wiki-drama" only became a drama once Scarface decided to make a poll about removing admins. It's really not my fault that the community got involved in something between Cartman and I. Yes Man defaultUser Avatar talk 01:59, March 24, 2012 (UTC)

No YM, it became a drama when you decided to make a fuss about leaving till Cartman was gone and blocked yourself. That's what I referred to as "childish tantrum and passive-aggressive emotional blackmail". You could have handled it in a myriad of manners, including asking for moderation (which is what the guidelines suggest), but instead you chose the most childish and dramatic way possible, and that honestly made me wonder if you are fit to be and administrator. I voted for you back when you made the request because I believed you would capable of upholding your position maturely and professionally. It was big a vote of confidence that shouldn't be taken lightly. But your reaction to both the argument and the later tantrum made me disappointed and regret my decision. That doesn't reflect my personal opinion of you however, which remains the same. I can't speak for him, but I suspect it was the same with Scar.

I can understand that in a ways, and it certainly is a problem that we can lend a hand towards fixing. It usually doesn't even cross my mind that a new setting can be quite intimidating since I've always been a very outgoing kind of guy.

Defence

Agent, I'm sorry, but I'm not going to sit around and let people talk to me like that.
It might not help my case but I'm not going to lie down and let people say things about me which are frankly not true. I think it's apparent that this whole issue has upset me dearly. And no matter how many times I make my case, it doesn't matter. People just keep saying things that are false, like that I'm the one who started this whole wiki-drama crap. Or when they say that they still like me, yet they then follow it up with harsh comments directed at me.
I'm not good at this sort of thing. Before I got a chance to write my defence they were already saying that I had no defence and that I didn't care. Of course I care. After all the work I put into this place they just sweep me under the table over one outburst? The people who apparently cared for me didn't care enough to consult me or ask me what was wrong before leaping at the opportunity to kick me out.
People can say they lose respect for me because frankly, if they can't respect me for standing up against Cartman then I don't think I respect them. It showed me the true colours of people. The people who, the minute I started speaking up in the community, shot me down and are now pursuing it so that I never want to come back here.
I considered Scarface my best friend on this Wiki, but he's been the one who's hurt me the most. I'm not going to sit there and let them treat me like this any longer, I'm going to say what I feel needs to be said.
Oh, and real fucking convenient for Cartman that he's out "adventuring" for the past two days, and that he can't make it to his defence OR the meeting. The majority overlook his unwarranted behaviour, yet persecute me for what I consider an outburst that Cartman provoked. Yes Man defaultUser Avatar talk 23:03, March 24, 2012 (UTC)

Court documents

Allright, I go by your judgment for just uploading the first cache with the main arguments, purchasing agreements and licensing deals. Given your reaction, we should not include the second one then. Can you make it one pdf file, max. 12 MB? That's the wiki's top upload size. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 23:37, March 24, 2012 (UTC)

Just thought of it; it may be better to create 3 separate pdf files, one for the arguments, one for the purchasing agreement and one for the licensing deal. That might work better. Jspoel Speech Jspoel 23:40, March 24, 2012 (UTC)

I'm not sure why he removed it. I think it may have been speculative, since there's no source cited as to whether or not that road is Interstate 495 (runs right next to my house, on a side note).

I got him (Valak43) -SigmaDelta54(Talk) 19:01, March 26, 2012 (UTC)

In case you didn't get it...

Rob told me to leave this here for you, if you didnt see it already:


Hello Chad.

First let me thank you for your support. Not just supporting me; supporting the whole Wiki. You’re a good friend of mine, and I appreciate it.

As for my resignation, the whole reconfirmation request wasn’t about whether or not I was an administrator. Although I enjoyed the additional rights, it didn’t bother me that at the end of the ordeal I couldn’t ban trolls. Let’s be honest, there are plenty of other people around here who could do that for me.

I was fighting for myself. I was standing up for what I believe in, and regardless of if I was an admin or not, I’m not going to accept that kind of attitude from people like Cartman. And I certainly won’t let other be treated like that. The whole ordeal began when I stood up for myself and for the little guy, and spoke out against what I thought needed to be changed.

Yet that wasn’t good enough for some people. They preferred it when I kept my mouth shut and went with the flow. People who I considered my friends and who I trusted couldn’t support me when I needed it the most. And that hurt. There are a few, yes, who showed that they honestly do care. People who actually looked at this reasonably or who asked me how I was feeling as a result.

But then there were people who took offence at something that didn’t concern them. The people who pretended to care for me, but where the first to throw me under the bus without even asking me what was wrong. Who fought against equality because they feared it would jeopardize the nice little set-up they had going here. Or people who just liked Cartman and thought that it would be fine if he got away with one more thing. And those people are the ones to blame for making me leave.

I fear even now people don’t understand why I was fighting so hard. I’ve never been one to speak out for myself, until now. In reality, I’m not the social type. Usually, if something bothers me, I ignore it. Or I won’t say anything and let it pass. But that day, enough was enough. I had to stand up, and who better to stand up against than Cartman? The guy who has a track record of being a rude, insensitive man, and therefore is allowed to get away with it because “Oh, Cartman will be Cartman”.

As much as it saddens me that he will once again get away with something that he shouldn’t have, in all honesty it was easier for me to just let him make his little lies, paint himself as the angel, and go on his merry way like he always does. I’m stressed out enough as it is in real life to have to deal with that. And when a community that you’re part of can’t support you when you need it the most, then they shouldn’t be surprised when you leave.

The hypocrisy ran high too. People who were once saying, “We’re only human, we can show emotions” then changed their stance to “You’re not allowed to let your emotions get the better of you”. People who told me that I “took it too seriously” then told me that I was “acting like a child”. They told me it wasn’t personal, and then they placed all the Wiki’s “drama” issues on me. In reality it was Albert’s fault that this became a drama. He took it to the forums, he chose to be offended, and he called Cartman and I’s adminship into question. Yet I’m blamed for that.

Yet I have argued these points many a time, and often to a deaf ear. So I won’t continue any more. If people don’t want to listen, then I won’t talk. If I am treated like this for standing up, then I might as well lie down and take it. If these are the ideals that a select few of the higher-ups want to follow, then I don’t want to be one of them. The community can say what they want about me; they can call me immature, arrogant, a child and a fool. But it won’t change anything. It won’t mean that I’ll feel any better about standing up for myself and for others.

If I have to be a martyr, then so be it. Perhaps now people will see that enough is enough. This Wiki has lost an admin today. They’ve lost a contributor that they’ll never get back, and all because of the behaviour that they allow administrators to follow. I wonder how long Cartman would have lasted if he were a Fallout 3 fan who constantly criticized Fallout 1, Fallout 2 and Fallout: New Vegas?

Nevertheless, nothing is going to change now that I’m gone. People will be sad for a while, they’ll wish I would return, and then as time goes on they’ll forget me and forget that any of this ever happened. That’s life, I guess. You win some and you lose some. And sometimes you just have to give up, because no matter how hard you fight, you’ll never win.

I really wish this had turned out better. But it didn’t. Goodbye, Chad.

Sincerely,

Robert.

Apology

I came here to apologise to you, Chad.

That chat made emotions run high. I was challenging Cartman, yes. When you walked out I realised what I was doing. You, Leon and Jspoelstra seemed to be the ones who were speaking for the community and not for yourselves. It wasn't right for me to walk in there and cause more trouble.

You don't have to accept my apology, but I sure as hell won't walk out of here on bad terms with you. For what it's worth, you were a pleasure to know. You were one of the only people who I think saw where I was coming from back when I started that stupid Bureaucrat request. The moment I pressed publish on that page was the moment I sealed my fate here.

But I'm not going to get into that. This isn't about me, it's about you. I can't make you respect me. And yes, I lost my temper back then and I didn't make an effort to compose myself. And that was my fault and my fault alone. It shouldn't have been up to others to pull me through.

You know what they say about when the going gets tough, the tough get going. I guess I wasn't tough enough.
