I have a really good idea
I have a really good idea. Despite my years of training with the Buddhist philosophy of peace and good will, dealing with this website raises my blood pressure more than any other issue I have encountered in my life in the last few years.
Years of training down the drain...months of work on this web site, evidently, for nought.
Just screw it. Dealing with this site is more convoluted and complex than my dealings with the federal bureaucracy. You all make them look like amateurs. Everybody here is sooooo freaking afraid someone will get credit for their work product, as if we were part of some "perfect socialist society" where we all work for the common good. (I can't get the image out of my head of the Chinese proletariats throwing their hand-crafted tea cups against the wall during the cultural revolution.)
Well, I was working for the "common good," I have tried to be a good proletariat, and I have been deleted, nitpicked, needled, chastised and cowed every step of the way -- and all I wanted was my frickin' teacup.
Too much to ask.
I am signing off. Keep my work product, don't give me any fricking credit, and I will go on with my life as if Strategywiki never existed.
Goodbye. Please feel free to delete my account and access to this site.
Thanks for your post
Thanks for not calling me names in your post. That's a first in a while. (The above post was misdirected, I think.)
I won't come back. You can scan the Internet. I don't flame people. I am not here to cause trouble.
My "by line" was pulled, (which was hurtful) Procyron interrogated me to find a way to be sure I don't get one, (which was hurtful) and I decided to quit the forum. Then everyone piles on telling me what an ASS I am. (uh, hurtful.)
I am just going by the representation of Procyron that he is quite ready and willing to delete my posts. It was his idea I totally would not have even considered until about his 5th or 6th round of insults.
I really wanted to be a part of this community, but the first time I come back (1) my by-line is deleted without telling me, which I totally and absolutely predicted because of prior attitudes (2) Procyron starts interrogating me on the timing of my web site/Wikipedia contributions (golly, maybe he can find a technicality so he doesn't have to give me a by-line, hope-hope) (3) Skizzers and company piles on the insults for why I should have been more polite in my good-bye message. Prod jumps on to tell me that I should not insult people when I don't cordially agree with the fact I am an ASS.
Like I say, I never dreamed I would get to this stage of agreeing to Procyron's offer or I would use profanity like I did after his repeated insults.
You all keep up the good work. You are more patient than me. I left the temple this morning wondering how long this feeling of peace and tranquility would last. For some reason, dealing with this web site has been more frustrating than any other endeavor I have undertaken in recent memory. I must have a blessed life.
Public Domain is not the same as GFDL
Public Domain means there are no restrictions, no license whatsoever. GFDL is a license that has provisions for easier copying and distributing, but still has restrictions (all derived works from it must remain GFDL, etc.). Please do not confuse the two. --Skizzerz 17:08, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
Date cats
Hi,
wasn't aware of this ... (although I admit that it's pretty obvious :D ) ... I'll remove them.
greetings --Bmuig 17:17, 5 October 2008 (UTC)(talk)
Thanks for your efforts.
Repeat of Duke's post:
I still need to digest it all, but your points are well made and am happy with you all's consideration.
More than I was expecting, very happy with the external link location.
And I can understand that this is Wiki oriented, community oriented, not contributor oriented. I get the concept of a group effort -- and accomplishment for the sake of accomplishment.
Honest.
I know you all put a lot of hard work into this community effort and that is to be applauded. Karlcsr 18:34, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
Notmyhandle,
Thanks for the post, especially after all the commotion. Highly appreciated...Karlcsr 18:21, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
Super Mario RPG
Anon here is saying there are timed hits for certain skills, like Mallow's Psychopath and HP Rain. I've played it before on an emulator and haven't spotted anything like that. --Arrow Windwhistler (talk) 01:45, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Your main page.
I'm impressed at the look of your page. Prod is ... how should I put it? Not that good to look at but that's how I see it. I always thought that revealing too much of yourself can put you into trouble. I'm still considering doing something for my own page but I don't know where to start. The reason is I could end up crossing the line but that's my fear. Anyway, I'd be happy to see how long you're going to edit until you drop. Talk to you soon.

Nibelung Image
I have no idea what's going on with it... It works fine in other places, it just came straight from JMS's data. I can't find any reason as to why it's being read the way it is. I guess I'll try uploading it again, if that fails then I'll get a different frame and try that one.--IsaacGS 22:12, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
- Apparently that did the trick. Who knows what was going on but it has resolved itself now.--IsaacGS 22:16, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
- Well, I could click on it and see the picture before... Maybe I messed up the file type somehow.--IsaacGS 22:19, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
You're more old school than me???
How could that possibly be??? :D Nice job man, also, cool idea linking the badge back to the charity. I totally copied off you. That's right, I'm not ashamed. Procyon (Talk) 22:21, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
- Hey buddy, are you around? We're having our meeting. I wanted to thank you for all the hard work you've been doing concerning the vandalism and event logs... Procyon 19:18, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
Still on undecided?
Just wanted to know, are you still undecided on Dog's Life being a featured guide? Sorry to bother you, it's just that I can't think of anything still missing from (or needing taken out of) the guide, so I was just assuming people in undecided hadn't looked at it in a while. : ) --Melon247, The Dog's Life Expert 11:19, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
- Hey, we could use your opinion on the Dog's Life nomination now that you and Arrow are the only two left undecided. Thanks, - najzere 23:41, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
Commenting post
Hey, sorry about commenting out questionable edits instead of removing them entirely. I couldn't find the talk pages, so I wasn't sure what to do with them at like 3 AM. Strategy Wiki's interface is a little different from Wikipedia's and I'm still trying to find my way around.Thinkbui 21:15, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
BTW, what's wrong with merging that statement with the previous paragraph on Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3/Leningrad (Allied)? At least at 3 AM, it seems awkward to have those two separate. I suppose the language could be changed in the "easier" statement to make it seem much less out of place.Thinkbui 21:36, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
- No problemo. I guess I don't know the game well enough to argue where the tip should be placed, but when I first read it, that statement seemed out of sync with the rest of the paragraph. I have reverted to your changes. --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 08:55, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
Why did you not take my request for the deletion of Beraboh Man/Walkthrough seriously?
The only reason I created it was to please User:Procyon, who had posted something about me never doing any walkthroughs on my talk page a few months back. I'm not all that good at writing video game walkthroughs, so that's why I never do them - even if they are for games I can finish in one coin (I don't believe in the concept of "continuing", you see).
