German Military?
Hey, is it you who's put the "under construction" tag on German Military? I guess I could look in the history, but are you going to change it about? I just saw you made the last edit and there is an "under construction" tag on it... Anyways, good work so far! Creepydude 17:20, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

edit: heh never mind, I see you just moved the article from "German military" to "German Military". Good work. ;) I think I can safely remove the "under construction" tag. Maybe even put a "stub" tag... Creepydude 17:23, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Fixed Sig
Just to let you know, I fixed my signature. Thanks for letting me know, that could easily turn into a disaster. Also, I changed the font, as it appears most computers do not have the "creepy" font installed... Anyway, I'm glad you let me know, and thanks!
 * Hey, thanks for your edit, but I had already fixed it I think... Anyway, can you vote or give some sort of response? Just kind of like to know if you are getting these.

Adminship...
Hey, while you're active... Can you vote for or against Darkman 4 and I at Call of Duty Wiki:Requests for Adminship? If you agree, sign your name with the rest, if you disagree, make another subdevision below and make it "negative support." Voting is pretty important, so sign your name somewhere whether you agree or not. Deciding whether Darkman 4 and I should be admins or not could be as simple as looking at our edit counts and some edit examples and seeing if it will be worthwhile. Darkman 4 and I have agreed to both go for admin, as we both want the other in. Also, we could help each other get past the bumpy start of adminship. Currently, we don't really have any active admins, as they are only on once in a while. I am not trying to get you to vote for me necessarily, and I'm trying not to solicit, but we do need the community opinion no matter what. So... Thank you for your vote, every one counts.   M/Sgt. Creepydude  Sniper   Say Some'at Here!

 * Well, thanks for your response at least, and well, I think this is pretty much everybody's concern. What I like to use to back me up in a situation like this is the fact that Darkman 4, by far the best editor on this wiki, agrees with me being admin. Not only that, but the second most active user agrees. Notice the main page was updated? I went through and changed all of those. My edits are climbing quite fast, I must say, and although I do have quite a few change edits after I save the page, isn't really all that counts the fact that I'm always editing and changing? By the way, I also made a template box for the challenges in Call of Duty: World at War. I definitely understand your concern, but checking to see if I am a good choice by my edits seems... Almost funny. However, it is a legitimate and good thing to check, so I won't try to defer you. And really, this wiki is in desperate need of a few admins. I actually sort of suggested that Darkman 4 could become admin by himself if he wanted, but he said "You've done a great job so far, I can't see why you can't become admin as well." Also, if it means anything, you have my word that there will be no vandalism by me and no block wars. If I go through one block war, you can ask Chiafriend12 to block me. Now, obviously anyone can come out and say that, but at least I had a "threat of block" to back me up. :)


 * I have no doubt that this will be a severe probation period, and you know, the only reason I even thought about becoming admin is because Chiafriend suggested that I try for admin, because I had to keep asking him if he would lock a page and do some things that only admins could do. He was really the only "active" admin, and he told me that "If the community's responses are positive, then talk to him and he would SYSOP us. Anyway, I'll stop trying to change your opinion, but make sure to cast your vote one way or another. Thank you,   M/Sgt. Creepydude  Sniper   Say Some'at Here!  16:05, 10 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Hey, just thought I would let you know that RFA's are ending soon. Everyone who voted left a positive vote. I think you are the last active user who hasn't voted.


 * Interesting vote. Well, it's kinda nice that you voted "neutral/pending" as opposed to "oppose". However, I must say that I think you are thinking a little too deeply into this. You do realise that, because Rs4life07 is running for beaurocrat at the same time as my running for admin, if he sees ANY issues with me, he can not only relinquish my admin powers, but also ban me? Or maybe you just think I am underqualified? I suppose you could say that, and maybe I couldn't argue you about it, but really, I haven't seen any really major flaws with what I've done so far. I guess basically, I am wondering just why you disagree with my becoming admin. Do you want to take my place? Do you think/worry that I might vandalise? Do you think that making me admin with a small(er) edit count will lower the bar for people becoming admin? Do you think/worry that I might fight with other users or IPs? Or do you think that I am just underqualified as of yet to have that responsibility? If your response was the latter one, then I have an answer/question right away. What is the harm of me trying? Really. It's not like I'm going to be flaunting my new power, making changes everywhere and banning users, because I know darn well I will get banned. Like I said, it will be a probation period for me, and I will certainly be careful. Text is bold so you can see it although it is not at the bottom. 

Hmm, definitely some good points, and I appreciate all your concerns. Really, I am not necassarily "anxious" to become an admin. Okay, well, if you had a very good chance of becoming an admin, then who wouldn't be anxious, but don't really have my heart set on being admin. Its just that I come here often, like VERY often, and I am prepared to continue with that dedication. Maybe in a year or so, my dedication will diminish a little, but for now, I just want to be able to help out this wiki. Now another thing to take into account is the fact that when I came along, there were literally no active admins here. Now we have one, and Darkman 4 will be two, then a third being me. I don't really think that 3 admins is "too many" and that it will unbalance things. So wind the clock back, when I asked to become admin. I was posting around looking for help for things like banning IPs for vandalising, deleting pages, and other admin stuff, and there was no-one to help. Finally, Chiafriend12 finally responded and said that he is not really able to help anymore, why don't I try for admin. So I asked Darkman 4 if he would become too, and we both tryed for admin. Then Rs4life07 happened along and responded to my request for help. This sort of prompted him to become an active admin, and following, a beaurocrat. I went along, updating the main page, because it had not been changed in ages, updating Call of Duty: World at War info, and things like that. So you see, now, although I could very easily not bother becoming an admin, I feel a sort of pride in helping this wiki to come alive again. So in a way, regardless of my experience, you might call it similar to when this wiki started out, and some of the other users were completely new to wikis and trundled along just the same. Then of course you have Darkman 4 and Azncutthroat who were always here, so the three of us keeping the wiki moving. Azncutthoat I don't think is really interested in admin, and he isn't on all THAT often; at least not as often as Darkman 4 and I. Oh well, I have rambled, but I just wanted you to see things from my point of view. Also, let me repeat, I really don't see what is wrong with 3 active admins. All the rest have unofficially resigned and passed on the torch. Bye for now,

Thanks for Zombie Mode Help
Thanks for your help on the Zombie Mode article. I was just merging that article with "Nacht der Untoten," so I hadn't proofread it yet. It looks like it become a very good article in the future, maybe a Featured Article someday... Obviously it would have to have a good going-over, but the content is looking pretty good.

900 Articles!
Wow, we just broke 900 articles! At this rate, it shouldn't be long before we hit 1000. Good job!

IP Welcome
Hey, thanks for welcoming my IP! I feel very welcomed and honoured now. :D

Adminship
Thanks! Darkman 4 03:13, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

About Adminship
Hey, I don't wanna start a flame war, I'm willing to just let this drop. You have your opinion, I have mine. All I wanted to say was that I thought his opinion was too easily swayed by yours. My intention was not to talk about you behind your back. Maybe off of this I can get some rollback privilages or something... :D I'll come back with an admin request in maybe a couple of months. Merry Christmas!

IRC
Hey, yah I don't really have much time today, but I was basically asking for help or a tutorial how to work on the wiki theme. You know, on sites like Left 4 Dead Wiki and Gears of War Wiki, they all have a colour scheme, where as ours is all white. I don't know what a good one would be, but it certainly makes the wiki look better (not just to our eyes, but to attract peoples). What are your thoughts?

Review
In your first paragraph on your review of the wiki, you put "I won't this wiki to succeed". Did you mean "want", or did you mean "will not" (which doesn't even make any sense. 'I will not this wiki to succeed'?)? 05:53, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Re:Review
I understand what you are trying to say, but it is simply not that way. I am not really into edit count. I am happy to see my edits go up, just like I am happy to see my rank go up while playing Call of Duty: World at War. I hope (although you didn't say it) that you do not think of me as someone who is "only" interested in edit count, and is not trying to make the wiki succede. I really don't care two bits about my edit count if you think not putting stuff about it on my user page will make the wiki a better place. Oh, and what are you talking about? I always sign my postings. What's up with that? :(


 * Oh, I have been just typing   as per a suggestion from Rs4life07. I was doing the tildes and he got me doing it this way.  Besides, I have never even used the timestamp; and if I really need to know when someone typed it, I go in the history. But if you want it with tildes, sure. [[Image:US Army OF-6.png|30px]]  Col.

Re: Community Portal
Good idea. Sorry I haven't looked at examples yet, as I have been working on the skin, but I'll do a search around and make a good one. I don't think it will take too long. What name should the template be under? 06:46, 1 February 2009 (UTC)


 * You mean something like this? Wikipedia:Template:Non-free game screenshot 06:49, 1 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok, check out the rough copy here. Any changes are welcome. Oh, and no problem about the recent changes spam; only thing is aren't you going to just change them all again with this new template, and we could just transclude the category onto the template? 07:07, 1 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Righto, sounds good! ;) I'm just setting up the new FA, User of the Month, and all the weekly crap on the main page. Tomorrow is both the start of a new week and the start of a new month. Hmmm, I wonder what a good poll would be... 07:11, 1 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I see that; that is pretty nice. How long you had that for? Anyway, thanks a lot for your help on this. 07:18, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Re:Manual of Style
It is at Call of Duty Wiki:Manual of Style, created by Richard1990 and Kirkburn. As you can see at the top, however, it is mostly copied from WoWwiki and thus is not customised and complete. We can work on that. ;) 18:06, 1 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Ha, no problem. Just want to do a check-over. Man, after going through those, the first thing I want to do is create a POLICY FOR UPLOADING IMAGES! Something like: "Please read such-and-such to find out how to upload images. Please do not upload any images without reading it." Then we could have a manual or something that says exactly what to put in what situation, and that if you upload an image without a license, even if it is the "source is unknown" one, then it may be deleted. Now I see why manuals and policies are so important. ;) 22:56, 1 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Yah, we should make the manual ASAP. There are some users (no names mentioned) who are uploading images with no license and for personal use as well. :( Oh, and I laughed hard when I saw the image of Stalin with the license saying it was a screenshot from a video game. :D 23:06, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure your hordes of bot edits wouldn't help your rank. Cheater :P. 02:15, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Re:Let's Talk
Hmmm, sorry I wasn't on last night. However, I should have time today. Just let me know when you want to talk and what channel you will be using. Heck, we could even use the shout box if you wanted. Just lemme know. 17:05, 10 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Righto on all counts. Yah, and I keep forgetting to add "Makin Day", the newest map. Oh, and on the java.freenode thing, I can't figure out how to register my name; it keeps putting me to Creepydude1,2, etc... I went on your ##Joeyaa channel earlier, just to look around, but you weren't responding. Anyway, I got a couple of things to talk to you about. :) 05:12, 11 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm wayyyyyy ahead of you bro! ;) Seeya on ##Joeyaa! 05:19, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Need to hear from you ASAP
Ok, Sannse made a forum posting about switching to a new parser on the 17th. There is a list of pages for our wiki that need changing in some way or another. I am not totally sure how, but that is the error list. I believe it has something to do with the templates put on those pages, but I could be wrong. Please respond ASAP so we can get this worked out. By the way, don't forget to accept your nomination at COD:RFA. Oh, and something I should have said last night is that I will be on vacation from the 20th to the 28th, with very minimal/nil use of wikia during that time. 17:26, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

IRC, and... problems
Well, first off I am on your IRC, but you aren't. :) Second off, on your list we somehow lost things to fix 1, 2, and 3. You should be able to retrieve them though. 23:42, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

RE: New stuff
You act as if I'm only on when editing. I've been reading things for a good half hour before submitting any edits. It's not new to me. ;) 07:42, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I've been using CGI:IRC since the RuneScape Wiki opened their channel back in 2007. Since I use CGI:IRC and not a downloadable client, only certain channels made for Wikia wikis are accessable. 07:54, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't use java.freenode. The interface annoys me, and it causes massive lag. Anyway, I gotta' go for the night, so don't expect me to answer any more messages. 08:10, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

IRC
Whoa! I'll come on, but I won't really be on for long. :) 03:09, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

RfA
Its a user? What type of signature is that? Wow, I'm just really confused, but still we don't count a "new user"'s vote seeing that his only contrib was the RfA or is this someone that edits on other wikis?


 * Be patient; RFAs have to go for two weeks. When two weeks has passed, I'll ping Chia or BigM and they'll give you your privelages. 17:05, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Adminship
Congratulations, your RFA has achieved community consensus. You may now rollback edits, block users, protect pages, and edit certain pages. If you have any questions please message me on my talk page.-- 01:46, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Bot edits
Can you make your bot mark its edits as minor. That way it doesn't clog up the recent changes to much. I figure you know how to change your settings to make minor edits only, but if you don't, go to my preferences, click the editing tab, then mark the "Mark all edits minor by default" box. Thanks, 15:57, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Re:Welc addition
Ok, that's awesome! I guess I'll just change the welcome IP button then. Have you seen my custom sig button I worked up for Ross and me? I could put a world button that all you had to do was type your name, but I'm not sure if people are interested... The current ones are just hard-done on our monaco.js. 14:47, 12 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Yah, to some degree the time it takes you to to get your mouse and sign it... It may be faster just to type the thing. Besides, you use ~ anyways... By the way, I wonder why they (wikia staff) removed the Interesting, maybe they recieved complaints or something. I know it was gone for a while, because I was having to fix all of my postings, such as on the forums, where I used those tags.  15:02, 12 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok... But is there anything to talk about anymore?  15:07, 12 March 2009 (UTC)


 * :O That is an insult of the utmost severity! (Calls in a staff member to un-sysop you) 15:17, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Lets just say that I was the first to tell the staffers the level of fail it borders. Joey  -  Talk Contribs 02:40, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Eh, I don't have a problem with it. :/ Darkman 4 02:51, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, when it first came out it was spamming recent changes on a lot of bigger wikis and also was creating useless user pages which pissed everyone off. Now it's better, but meh. Joey  -  Talk Contribs 02:57, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * If they tweaked it so that it doesn't create userpages in addition to talk pages, then I don't think anyone would have a problem with it. Darkman 4 04:18, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, I can see how for many people it is a great tool, but for me in the way I edit cross-wikia I end up getting 20 emails a day based on the blasted bot, plus all the new messages notifications that piss me off. They are still working on it, and I'm on their case 'til it gets better. Joey  -  Talk Contribs 04:21, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Leaving
Hey, I just figured I'd let you know that I'm kinda leaving the wiki. I've edited and been an active contributor for a while and the wiki's looking in good shape, so I figure I'll just sorta move along. I dunno, I don't think wikis really appeal to me anymore, especially after the big ol' break I had. So I'll trust you to keep on admining. I'll do some editing today and then move quietly on my way.

April Fools "joke"
...

Don't do that again. It rendered me, and probably half of our other visitors, unable to do anything. Something like changing a signature (such as what I did) or a userpage is a much better prank for a wiki. 02:27, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Response
Um...well, approximately 4 weeks ago you added a category on my talk page, which I didn't know how to respond to (literally, I couldn't find this page). Well, my friend hasn't let me play his CoD: WaW GAME (Call of Duty: World at War) lately, and has gone on a few trips over the past few weeks. But as soon as he lets me play, I'll message you my friend code, or I'll post it on my talk page. -User:Bignicky9

Page glitches
Hey, I wasnt sure who to come to with this, but it seems that sometimes when people edit the Shi No Numa Quotes page, the layout gets messed up for some reason. Random bullets keep getting added, which makes the text impossible to read. I thought it was vandalism at first, but now i think it may be a bug with the new text editor thing wikia implemented a few days ago. Do you think you or another admin could please look into it when you get the chance? WouldYouKindly 01:13, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It's because of the silly new editor 'RTE' and it is known to do these things by itself. For that specific issue and page, I tested it myself and reported it. Thanks for helping! :) Joey  -  Talk Contribs 01:16, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Bot Welcome
The bot welcome appears to be missing a line from the "master" text.

''...You can ask at the Help desk or on the "discussion" page associated with each article, or post a message on my talk page! Please review our policies so that you understand them completely.''

00:58, 22 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Meh, it's not the most welcoming line. Joey  -  Talk Contribs 01:19, 22 June 2009 (UTC)


 * While I must agree, the page is pretty close to an orphan. It's not a good idea to not have wiki policies be in a hard to find place. If not the welcome, where might you suggest? 12:07, 22 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Somewhere where we allegedly 'welcome' someone and then tell them to read a bunch of shit pages before doing anything. Discouraging? Yes. I'll find a place. Joey   aa  12:08, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Can you see the image on this page? http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/File:Ak47_3.png Darkman 4 03:27, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Mistake
i found a mistake in the COD 4 story summary. it says that SSgt. Griggs was shot in the neck when he was in fact shot in the head.

Shi no numa redirect
24.238.218.224 made a page called Shi no numa when it used to be a redirect for the map Shi No Numa. Can you ban this IP and change the redirect back? Joem25 19:44, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I fixed the redirect, but I don't think it was grounds for blocking. Thanks for the report :) Joey   aa  03:08, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Talk page script
Maybe wanna run that talk page script you got for your bot? Kthxbai, 04:34, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I could. I wasn't sure if we wanted it here as I know BigM disabled User:Wikia here. I know I can get my script to even welcome users after they make one edit, when they create an account, or anything similar. I want to know what he thinks since he chose to disable it. :) Joey   aa  04:43, 16 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok... I think yes on the talk page script, and quite likely on the welcoming script. Welcoming scripts are dumb, but these days we have lots of new users, and nobody is welcoming, so it probably would be a good idea. 05:09, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Problem template
Oh, also... Do we have a "This page has a serious problem" sorta template? I seem to remember something about that, but maybe it's just weird deja vu. Does such a thing exist (don't want the "problem report" thing)? 05:13, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Afghan copied material directly from modernwarfare247.com
Hello, I would like to know why you reverted my edit removing directly copied material from the article. I removed it because:

1. It was directly copied from http://www.modernwarfare247.com/multiplayer/maps/afghan.

2. It says things like: "1. The high ledge here..." without the map included on the website that it was copied from. ModernWarfare247 uses a "number key" with numbers on the map corresponding to numbers like "1. The high ledge here...".

3. It was not sourced.

Re: Sidebar
Well, I agree with you, but it does say "Community".

If they're an unregistered user just reading, they're not part of the community, therefore they don't need to even look into that tab.

As for the policies, I don't see why we can't keep it there.

It encourages people to read the policies, which leads to better edits.

Just my thoughts.

Just heard back from him:

"Sure, I'll do good on Saterdays and Sundays. I got work during the week, from around 2 a.m to 12 p.m., and often times am very busy. Saturday, from around 12 a.m. to 8 p.m. would be the best time to find me, but honestly it's a BIG maybe. This wiki is not important enough to mess with my real life. Is it possible to also get one with me and Bord just alone? Really though, I don't like having admins deciding who wins. I hate it when arguements come, most admins just ban the person who is stupid and goes on with it. Peter Griffen Boy 21:22, February 17, 2010 (UTC)"

I have a question: Whenever I welcome a user and replace YOURNAME with mine, I simply write E.TALE. But when I save the page... where my signature is at the bottom, it is not clickable meaning the user can't go to my page. I know I'm doing something wrong but I can't seem to figure it out.

RTE glitches (?)
We may have another glitch with the Rich Text Editor (or something else, but I'm inclined to believe it's RTE again just because it's done similar things in the past). I've noticed that many IPs and new users have been trying to make edits lately and many of them have been causing strange glitches with the layout. I'm still not 100% sure if it's a glitch or not, but IMO it's been happening with too many different users to just be a couple new guys who accidentally messed up the layout, but I thought you should probably know anyway. --WouldYouKindly 02:06, March 23, 2010 (UTC)

Notice
Okay I'm not sure if you were on but PGB got blocked for personal attacks, ask Bovell, Darkman and Doc.Richtofen. Three admins supported his block, for personal attacks against myself (see my talk page) and against Griever (he started a flame war with it). So about four of us are defending Griever, and telling PGB exactly why Griever said that PGB was being unwarrantedly arrogant, so he just goes off. Minutes ago Callofduty4 unblocked PGB with no good reasoning, on the basis that PGB gave him some pitiful argument about how he was bullied. This is really worrying me, when Admins are suddenly disagreeing about such an obvious incident. I mean, PGB was making serious insults to all of us, and Callofduty4's decision is worrying me. I hope you don't think I'm being immature about this, I am genuinely worried, I would bring this up with other admins or bureaucrats but I do not feel it is my place. Thank you.

81.132.144.250
I see you reduced 81.132.144.250's block from infinite to 3 months. I trust you have better judgment than me when it comes to blocks so I'm not going to argue or anything, but, should I not have given him an infinite block? If not, why? Thanks. 16:19, April 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Infinite blocks on IPs are a very bad thing. IPs change over time, can be manually and automatically reset, etc, hence blocking an IP now doesn't mean that the person you want blocked will be block in 3 years, it could very well be someone else. Long term IP blocks are never a good idea as their target will most likely get anew IP address between when you make the block and the end of infinite. It's probably a good idea to never make an IP block over 1 year, and seldom make an IP block even for 1 year. Not to mention, with shorted blocks such as three months as I did, you can have it affect logged in users as well, in case they try to use sockpuppets to come back. 16:25, April 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Cool, I understand now. I thought you reduced the block because you thought it was too harsh, not because of technical reasons. Anyway, thanks a lot. 16:28, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

I assume that a similar thing has occured here, where a person pretending to be a Halopedian has said that they will vandalise this site.

What right do you have to be so offended?
If you have evidence that a user is abusing sockpuppets and refuse to either do something about it or tell anyone but Chia, that's counterproductive and petty. Anyway, you have never treated me like a human being, nor have I ever witnessed you do anything resembling human behavior. Yes, I am exaggerating. I am aware that only humans are capable of properly using the Internet, writing, etc. Anyway, you could not have made a worst first impression with me. I am aware that, at the time, I was being a total drama queen, and it turned out that the information I had was false, anyway. Admittedly I do feel stupid looking back on it. Regardless, someone with some grasp of social etiquette would at least have either told me to shut up and go away, or, imagine this, they (http://xkcd.com/145/) could have said something like, "I don't have time for this right now," or "I have more important matters to attend to." I would have been perfectly content with any response. But no. Despite being online you just completely ignored me after posting intentionally vague, enigmatic, and overly short responses. Any attempt at communication I have ever had with you has been nothing short of infuriating. I might be pretty arrogant, but there is no doubt in my mind that I have never encountered someone quite as stuck-up as you. That you would tell me to "understand that there are things above you in this world" is beyond laughable. Imrlybord7 06:34, June 21, 2010 (UTC)

I invited Chia to a private conversation about the policies of the wiki, specifically about sockpuppetry, and how it needs to be prominent/enforced due to the increase reports/allegations of it. If I want to talk to someone about how a lot of people are poking me about a problem, then I can. And I am sorry, but I'm not a staff member to gather evidence for you, so that's not something I can do. 21:44, June 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * In that case I apologize. Darth said otherwise, and you didn't do anything to dispel the idea when I asked you in IRC. Just saying "get me soem Chia" doesn't exactly tell me much. Imrlybord7 23:15, June 21, 2010 (UTC)

 * Surely there must be a reason of Mau saying something like that. I;m not saying it;s acceptable but I am sure that there is a reason, like, something TMOI did to provoke it, 20:21, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

 * Yes. Whiskey clearly stated "You guys can some to my channel" and when I did, he kicked me. He clearly did this to provoke me... --Letlev (Talk) 20:36, June 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * TMOI was kicked by Whiskey due to past comments he made to provoke/annoy Whiskey and others. 20:38, June 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Who is Mr_Lynch anyway? 20:43, June 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * I actually never said anything wrong in his private chat, he is just rude like that. He is a TROLL... --Letlev (Talk) 20:45, June 23, 2010 (UTC)
