Tabula Rasa. Miss that game :( --Gimmethegepgun 02:50, September 23, 2009 (UTC)

Bakula Scott. Miss that name... not so much.   — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 03:30, September 23, 2009 (UTC)
I don't know that name, but thats fine, because I'm just a lot File:coffee-32x32.png overstimulated right now, and thus I'm going to go on a File:Ant-32x32.png ant about squirrels, except squirrel File:Squirrel-32x32.png is a very hard word to write with your eyes closed, so I will probably wander off topic, but what really is a good topic for random free writing? How about File:Music-2-32x32.png music, but that's very confining. How music tastes, like metal and chocolate File:Chocolate-47x47.jpg, and.... Shoe laces. Which taste nothing like File:Shoes-32x32.png shoes, nor laces, do NOT ask how I know that, and my left ring finger feels weird, and I don't know why, but I'm talking much much to much about myself, and thus we come to the first sequitor of the evening in which a flying monkey File:Monkey-32x32.png appears from the very depths of the dark sea itself to accost young maidens File:TinkerbellUnion.jpg saving young and strapping young men from very large unicorns File:pink_unicorn_icon_by_gescheitert.gif with nothing but evil thoughts on their mind. Which reminds me of a bad fanfic I once read about how a human met a charr, and had little charr babies, which makes no sense, because the two species would not be compatible. Additionally, they defeated them in combat, but there are not female charr in combat, so that would be.... Odd. Because then it would have to be gay, otherwise it wouldn't make sense, but then, where did they get the little charr from, which reminds me of a conversation I had about Lady Gaga where I had to explain to a group of 20 year olds what a hermaphrodite is, it was very amusing until the point where they all started giving me wierd looks, and
I
realized
that I had fallen asleep at the wheel, and it was all just a dream about me typing something or other, and listening to Edguy, who I thank skuld for introducing me to. Additionally, the fanfic didn't actually exist, I dreamt about reading a bad fanfic, well, at least thats what my brain wants me to type, oh and one more thing, DO DA DO DA DO! Also, Take a look into the book of fantasy and poetry until you find that in your mind a feeling most unnaturally has taken hold, and growing bold, has caused quite a calamity while drumsticks dance around like candycanes on a bright snowy summer evening in alberta, Mexico.

[edit] Nyquil based Hallucinations

So there I was minding my own business being serious, when the world turned sidweays, but I was ok because I fell onto a tree, and I just stood there as everything/one else fell around me, and then the world turned all the way around, which was odd because I was looking at everything from a 3rd person perspective, but gravity only transformed itself for everything/one else, except my hair, which was long and flowing, and golden brown, and it just kept falling, and falling and falling, and then the scene changed.

A man stands on a street, he is large, and beside him stands a thin man, who is tall, the fat one is short, and has a mustache, both of them have a mustache. And they just stood there as an awesome guitar solo played in the background with a llama based music video advertising lubricant for motor oil.

Which is when everything went black, but I blame that on the horse which fell ontop of the camera crew, it was quite a large horse, and made out of wood, but it looked more like a rabbit or a badger. And some french people where shouting things off in the distance, but the horse kicked their castle, and it fell over.

--Łô√ë Roar.îğá†ħŕášħ is hosting a Card Creation Contest! 05:30, September 26, 2009 (UTC)

REMEMBER CAPTAIN B! HE'S LIKE THE ALIMO, BUT BETTER. But then, I lolled. End scene, all actors exit stage up.

And then everyone ran away for no apparent reason, but then the ground appeared, which was quite reassuring except for the fact that it was made of chicken feathers, and body doubles of the pope. On a completely unrelated note, the pope was female at the time, and had incredible cleavage, nearly as good as Felix Omni's, who has Legendary Cleavage, and I should know. Perhaps he shouldn't have picked up that +3 Greater Sword of Endarkened Sealing.

It does absolutely no justice to your prose to say that there's evidence suggesting that at least one (if not several) of the popes in the middle ages were females. So, in order to ensure that all due praise is heaped upon the above, I won't mention it. (If I do, I blame the trojan horse, which used correctly, helps reduce the risk of equinely transmitted diseases and reduces the likelihood of unwanted pregnancy. Use as directed.)   — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 06:16, September 26, 2009 (UTC)
Those popes didn't have any cleavage to speak of. --◄mendel► 17:54, September 26, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Shameless advertisement and Giga ripoff

Come and take a look at my elite skill contest!--TalkpageEl_Nazgir 16:28, September 29, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Your edit to the Zchallenge page

You said that the future prediction may change. Why is that? I asked on the talk page there, but I have no idea if you'll be passing by there again sometime soon. Are the rotations going to be reset for some reason? Or is it because of the plan to remove hero battles (are there any citations for that anyway? I've heard lots of people say it but no one official)? 199.102.47.72 15:56, October 8, 2009 (UTC)

I see you've received an answer there, and I've also butted in. Since you've started to edit all over the wiki in a useful way, why not make an account on wikia so we can recognize you when you do it again? (Or log in if you have one.) Thank you for sharing your thoughts! --◄mendel► 21:43, October 8, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] uhhh... I broke something

My final line (several lines in editing window) are beneath the bottom of the page because... well... for no reason that's obvious enough for me to notice. Just thought I'd give you a shout. A F K When Needed 18:39, October 12, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Doing the right thing wrong

Forgive me, I know I can't talk on such a matter. But, when pointing out things that Rose has done, do you always have to come down on her like a ton of bricks?

I doubt she'd ignore you if you said "Yo, thanks for [1], [2] and [3]! I appreciate you trying to make GuildWiki a better, more friendly place to be. By the way, it might be worth trying to explain why this is bad for GuildWiki and rely less on using the policy to solely make your point, as then contributors who have a problem with authority will be more likely to take what you say on board. Regards, Mendel."

It might just be me, but when you point out something she has done wrong, you always seem to... be more blunt than you normally are. I don't think you're an overly blunt person who lets that get in the way of your point. Except when you talk to her. A F K When Needed 22:12, October 15, 2009 (UTC) (Yes, I'm pretty much expecting you to pop onto my Talk Page with an identical header.)

Yes, I was in a bit of a hurry this morning, and it occurred to me later that I could have polished that a bit more. Especially the header. It is only sort of implied that I think mentioning the policies to those people at that time was the "right thing", and I fear she didn't read it that way, judging from her response. --◄mendel► 22:38, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Janitorial rights

I'd like to request image move (if you need rights for this) and deletion powers :< Jennalee 10:56, October 20, 2009 (UTC)

I think you must be at least admin for deletion powers. Image move is a little easier, I have it as a (rollback) user group, which was given to me for that very reason. RoseOfKali Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png 14:50, October 20, 2009 (UTC)
Done. And yes, you'd need admins to have delete. Image:Entropy Sig.jpg (T/C) 17:36, October 20, 2009 (UTC)
Nice try! RandomTime 17:53, October 20, 2009 (UTC)
But but... Power comes with responsibility, and there's so much more of that attached to being an admin :( Jennalee 21:30, October 20, 2009 (UTC)


[edit] Pic doesn't wanna update

File:Lina icewind.png doesn't wanna update for some reason, when I upload a new version it shows the old one (no it's not a browser issue), when I upload a 2nd new one, it shows the new version in the "previous versions".... then I tried reverting to that, but it STILL shows old version, can you please fix this? Thanks. --Image:Takisig2.png 00:31, October 21, 2009 (UTC)

It is a cache issue, because I see the updated version, if that version is on Shing Jea.--Łô√ë Roar.îğá†ħŕášħ is hosting a Card Creation Contest! 00:34, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
Wow, you're a good spotter. :D I have tried reloading the image several times but it still loads the old one =( --Image:Takisig2.png 00:44, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
I uploaded a version with PPE now, so the big one updated and is fixed, but the thumbnail version is still the old one >_> seems to be the same bug as with the Dragon Gauntlet pics I once uploaded long ago... I hope it'll fix itself over time. --Image:Takisig2.png 03:21, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
It's a server issue. If you have purged the Image (with http://guildwars.wikia.com/index.php?title=File:Lina_icewind.png&action=purge ), waited some time (quarter hour to an hour) and did that again, all that's left is to use Special:Contact to report it. You can see that the image has uploaded correctly by displaying it in a size that hasn't been used yet; you'll usually see the new version then. --◄mendel► 05:55, October 22, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] zomg

Not sure who else to call for this one :P Anyway, my comment there says it all really. And though the history says otherwise, I ASSURE you that his name was signed when I edited it, especially since it would be impossible for me to add that since I used the + button and not a full page edit --Gimmethegepgun 13:46, October 22, 2009 (UTC)

I forwarded this to wikia staff, it seems to be a server issue. --◄mendel► 22:49, October 22, 2009 (UTC)
What I found a bug? 0_o I don't understand, what did I do?? Fleshcrawler Soban 13:55, November 1, 2009 (UTC)
Don't worry about it. The wiki software has had more random issues, but they mostly either don't matter or can easily be fixed. --- Image:VipermagiSig.JPG -- (contribs) (talk) 13:59, November 1, 2009 (UTC)
You didn't do anything, and it will most likely (read:hopefully) never happen to you again. --◄mendel► 18:02, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Guild Wars on Linux

Recently switched to Linux and it runs excurtiatingly slow on it with wine. How were you able to get it running? Please and thank you. — Powersurge360 06:28, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

You need to install the video drivers that actually provide access to the 3D acceleration hardware. They're often sort of proprietary, so they don't install out of the box. --◄mendel► 07:52, October 30, 2009 (UTC)
So where might I find these drivers? I can't figure it out and I'm blaming it on me being tired, but if it's me being incompetent I'll get the answer while you're available, lol. — Powersurge360 08:05, October 30, 2009 (UTC)
For ubuntu, they were accessible via synaptic in the third-party repository, I think - I'm no sure, it's been awhile. Since I don't know your Linux distribution nor the make and model of your graphics card, it's a little hard to get more detailed than that. --◄mendel► 08:11, October 30, 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the help. I'm sure that it's nothing I can't handle now that I know the problem, I just wanted the advice I could get just in case. Hopefully I'll get it up before the Halloween events end. If I don't do this, I'll dual boot for the weekend, lol. — Powersurge360 08:17, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

Hi! xSutZir

Hi! Do I know you? You seem to speak with a strange tongue ... --◄mendel► 22:21, November 21, 2009 (UTC)
*sigh* It was an obvious spambot. Why do you have to be so annoying about things like this? —Dr Ishmael Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif 22:59, November 21, 2009 (UTC)
Have a guess why I didn't delete it.. :p --- Image:VipermagiSig.JPG -- (contribs) (talk) 23:01, November 21, 2009 (UTC)
I need to be educated about spambots that single out the accounts of two largely inactive admins (but not PanSola). Is it the fact that the letters are jumbled? --◄mendel► 23:31, November 21, 2009 (UTC)

Gotta give him credit for everything it's done, eh? ;) (Maybe a range block for 91.214.45.xx so it stops?) --- Image:VipermagiSig.JPG -- (contribs) (talk) 10:23, November 22, 2009 (UTC)
Range block would probably block many others, range softblock might work (can't edit until logged in, but can create account) RandomTime 10:45, November 22, 2009 (UTC)
It's a narrow block (only last 2 digits are variable), but yes, there'd probably be other 'victims' as well. --- Image:VipermagiSig.JPG -- (contribs) (talk) 10:48, November 22, 2009 (UTC)
I beg to disagree, there probably won't. The IP falls into the range of altushost.com, an internet host registered in Belize, but the IP is in the UK (one or two hops off a router in London, possibly in Luxembourg if that's what "lxb" stands for), so the probability is high that it's a blackhat address; furthermore, we have no contributions other than these 4 from any IP in that /24 subnet. I've blocked the next one in sequence now, trying to forestall the next edit, using softblock as RT recommends. --◄mendel► 11:33, November 22, 2009 (UTC)
Weird bot, found contributions on gaming and here for one IP, on another wiki for another, what IPs has it used here? Thanks. Joey (talk) 22:41, November 22, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Hey Mendel!

I'm KJ, an admin over at PvX. I'm sick and tired of our MediaWiki.css over there. Unregistered users can hardly use our page because of how ridiculous it looks for them. I was wondering if you could help me make a .css similar to this site's (something close to monobook), so we don't have to force people to click "monobook" everytime they sign up :/. Hope you can help. Karate Jesus 01:25, 2 December 2009

If you had been logged into your #pvx channel on GameSurge after you left the #wikia chat, I would already have done so. ;) --◄mendel► 07:27, December 2, 2009 (UTC)
What now? Oh, yea, the wikia chat the other day. Yea...irssi doesn't like W7 as much as I'd hoped. So, could you help me out? I feel like I'm sprinting to catch up with all this wikia stuff, especially since I'm the newest admin >.< Karate File:KJ for sig.png Jesus 15:54, 2 December 2009
There are other chat clients. I have a hard time helping you when I can't chat with you and can't edit the skin files on pvx; you could just copy MediaWiki:monaco.css to your personal w:c:pvx:Special:MyPage/monaco.css for testing and have a look to see if it's missing anything. Or even @import ours there (but then you'd also see our seasonal changes). --◄mendel► 16:20, December 2, 2009 (UTC)
Ok, I'll give that a try. Btw, my MSN is karatejesus_kj@hotmail.com (if you use MSN). If you don't use MSN, I'll hop on the gwirc in a bit. I'm at work and need to get some stuff done before I goof around too much. Karate File:KJ for sig.png Jesus 16:29, 2 December 2009

[edit] Edit Count figure

Image:Clipping.png Clipping issues On the top right of your user page, your edit count, particularly the comma, clips with your name (your real name, obviously not M.mendel on the other side of the page). I thought this relevant due to the remote possibility that being a German contributor, you might not have a comma in the figure, or whatever. I spotted this while viewing your user page with Mozilla Firefox 3.5.5, and a smallish moniter (laptop).

Same here on opera. Also the small icons that link to your userpages on other wikis.--TalkpageEl_Nazgir 14:05, December 5, 2009 (UTC)
