Sweet, empty talk page. :D — ク Eloc 貢 18:23, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Why is it you like the virgin pages? --People of Antioch talk 18:24, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

He can't get anything else. (JOKE) -- Brains12 \ Talk 18:26, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Buh dum psssh! --People of Antioch talk 18:29, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

That was a pretty lame joke Brains. — ク Eloc 貢 18:30, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Reminds me of people who like being the first comment on Youtube or Myspace and say "I stole your comment virginity!" Also, Brain doesn't seem to have a good track record.--People of Antioch talk 18:33, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Brains, that was pathetic . Calor 18:38, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

:( -- Brains12 \ Talk 18:40, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah sure! Don't worry about it. Have fun editing! --People of Antioch talk 04:30, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Elite Sunspear Warrior Armor images

Heya, just thought I'd let you know there is some problem with some of the images you tagged tonight... I'm getting errors on the gallery page.-- Wynthyst 06:57, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

One of them I think had only text in the image, I thought it was a slow cache, so I tagged it anyway (instead of being I1). --People of Antioch talk 04:11, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

RfA

You have been nominated for adminship :o), I did not create the RfA I just nominated u --Shadowphoenix 03:18, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh woah, wait what?! Umm, wow. Is there a page already? *checks* Oh okay, no. Well, let me come up with a statement first okay?. I'm flattered you nominated me, but if I'm going to be an admin of sorts, I'd like to do it right. --People of Antioch talk 14:54, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

No problem, I think you deserve it. You have made many, many, many usefull contributions :o) --Shadowphoenix 14:56, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) There's no page - a nomination was made, but it's pending your acceptance or rejection. Go to GWW:RFA#Pending nominations and take it out if you reject, say I accept or something if you accept, and a page will be made by whoever. -- Brains12 \ Talk 14:57, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Ah okay. I'm just tossing around the decision. Like a president's first 100 days, I want to be useful and make an impact, even if it is subtle. I'm going through the process to see if even I would vote for myself, what accreditations I have, and how I can further expand on my skills. If you guys (the wiki in general) have any questions you would want to prose to me, that would be very helpful. :-) --People of Antioch talk 15:01, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

If you accept I guess I can make the page, I wanted to see if you would accept b4 making it :o) --Shadowphoenix 15:04, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

1. What reasons are there for you wanting to be a sysop?
2. Is there anything that makes you stick out from the rest of the crowd, or makes you fit in with what sysops do at the moment?
3. How would you deal with vandals, trolls and policy violators?
4. One that's been an issue for a while - would you stick to every word a policy dictates, or more the spirit and general meaning of it?

-- Brains12 \ Talk 15:07, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Or: 0. Do you really want to become a sysop? ;) poke | talk 15:14, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

(Reset indent) *valley gurl accent*

1. Well I think that I totally want to be a sysop because, I want to start a republic of the minum possible calories

XD --Shadowphoenix 15:11, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

(Edit conflict x2) Give me some time, Phoenix. I need to reach into my brain and pull out something nice for people to read. I appreciate the vote of confidence, but I need to make a good impression. And besides, even if I am not elected, this will still go into my pile of memories and I'll look back on it. --People of Antioch talk 15:31, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Ah, Brains/Plingggggg. Thank you.

1. I'd like to be a sysop so I can help the wiki carry on. If it doesn't need me to be such an admin, I can accept that. My love for contributing to the wiki, greeting new members I can catch, and tagging images will still go on. As a sysop, I'd try to be more active in issues such as the deletion of images, dealing with vandals, trolls, & policy violators with an even hand. I recognize that all sysops are not very much different from other users. They are just other normal people that the people themselves place on a different (but equal) pedestal.
2. I have the general cool temper and knowledge of the wiki code and policies that sysops should have. I have a great deal of patience, and I don't like to leave a job unfinished. I believe (and hope) that I am on good terms with most of the regular users and sysops, so if I am to be accepted into their group it would be with welcoming arms. I would not brandish my adminship like a badge, however. Like I said earlier, sysops are really not to different from normal users, though those same users sometimes fear us and our "banhammers".
3. With a clear and level head. I understand if I were a sysop and am actively involved in a conflict, I would defer to another sysop to intervene while stopping myself as well. If I am the one called upon to settle a dispute or other issue, I would gather evidence just like in a real life crime. This would include logs, pages and other various measures. I would compare it to policy, and make a decision from there with careful thought and deliberation.
4. Hmm, just like in Guild Wars there has to be a balance between literal and spiritual policy. Like in America's very own documents that keep the government together there is both a spiritual and literal meaning to all. There is a line to how far you can stretch either one, but in the end there will be a balance. As for myself, I would lean on literal when it comes to naming issues (like images), but also take a more balanced approach on user conflict matters.

Oh Poke, yes I do, I just need to get something arranged. But don't create the page next. I'm actually using the questions to make a persuasive argument. --People of Antioch talk 15:33, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Ok, I believe I am ready. Do you want to create the page Shadowpheoenix? Or should I? This is me saying I accept. --People of Antioch talk 16:39, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Nevermind, I'll take charge and create it. --People of Antioch talk 16:57, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Clean Up

I sugest going through the orphan pages, and user list. As well major cleanup is needed >>. --68.151.27.108 00:18, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

I am going though the orphan pages, but what do you mean by user list? Inactive users? --People of Antioch talk 00:19, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Evening

Most fair and attractive maiden. You can watch my recent changes any time. And by watch I mean fornicate. If you get my drift. Brother Cadfael 03:18, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

"As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I shall fear no evil" be gone you vile perverted Preist XD --Shadowphoenix

Where...

Are you finding all those inactive guilds? :o -- Mini Me 22:26, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Category:Inactive guilds Took me a while to find it too. --People of Antioch talk 22:27, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh, thank you! Was wondering about it as I see you tagging things all the time and wondered where you kept finding them :P Thanks! -- Mini Me 22:30, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

There's categories for a multitude of things. Some of which I have in the links section of my userspace. --People of Antioch talk 22:31, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

I see! Thanks! Gonna check those out a bit more often now :) -- Mini Me 22:34, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

No problem. See me or any other helper if you need anything else. Have fun. --People of Antioch talk 22:37, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

RfA Resolved

Your recent RfA has been resolved (status: failed). General consensus seemed to be that more time and activity on the wiki would be best before trying for sysop status. Feel free to try again in the future if you think you've had enough time to change that. :) (Aiiane - talk - contribs) 13:53, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Okay, thank you very much for the notice Aiiane. --People of Antioch talk 17:14, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
