I archived your talk page. It was getting too big. Darkman 4 20:30, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

User Badge
I know they look cool, and they seem like a good idea, but I've tried 'em, WYK has tried 'em, and I gave him the same advice. They never refresh no matter what you try, and they just never keep the right edit count. I mean, it says you have 1,332 edits in the badge, but not in your actual edit count page. I'm just saying, it's not accurate, you might want to take it into consideration. 20:53, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Just thought I should let you know. Congrats on your new abilities, by the way. 21:21, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I know you're not an admin (yet, hopefully), it's just that you have a little more power over articles now. And I always considered you to have seniority, for your rep, editcount, and your name (anyone that grabs a name like that first is most likely someone you should treat as an established user, as opposed to, say, Callofduty4 1972, or something like that). 21:32, 14 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Wow, thanks a lot. That really means a lot to me. I probably won't run for admin for some time now, I have the power I needed.

Oh, you're not that interested? I can't wait until I can run for admin. I really think the added abilities and power could REALLY let me help this wiki. You should see what I've done on Wikipedia, WITHOUT that sort of privilege. (If you really do want to see that, my username is the same there, too) If I become an admin, the sky's the limit for this website, and we might even get some "fresh faced recruits". 21:44, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, that means a lot too. Oh, and I said you're not THAT interested. I just like to make myself clear, I know you do want to be an admin at some point, you just sounded like you weren't too crazy about it. If you do have the idea of possibly nominating me, I guess I'm going to have increase my mainspace editcount even more than previously planned, (I was already trying to increase my output so, at the same rate, I'll have a rather big number when I request adminship), huh? 21:52, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Before too much time goes on, I just want to tell you that rollback is intended for vandalism only. If someone adds "POOP BALLS" to an article, you use rollback. If someone adds a very opinionated statement, like "The MP40 is the best weapon ever, since it's 100 times better than the Thompson", you're supposed to undo the edit, and enter in the summary bar why you're undoing it—which, in that case would be due to the fact that it's really opinionated.

Also, be prepared to accidentally revert an edit by clicking on the wrong. Not that that's happened to me, though ^_^"!... 23:35, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Meh, its not really offensive to anyone-- 22:11, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Ingram's Birthday
I believe that Ingram's birthday (or at least age) is mentioned in Call of Duty 3. I'll check it later and get back to you, but for all CoD3 characters (except for Marcel and the characters you play as) they have a known age. Cpl. Wilding 22:27, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

I figured that, but I saw that you removed Ingram's birth date a while back, after somebody put it up. (most likely somebody with Call of Duty 3)Cpl. Wilding 13:08, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

UOTM
Hey, thanks, man! It doesn't always look good when you nominate yourself (sometimes it looks like they're just kind of full of themselves, but not always), and it means a lot in general. I'm sure I can get you in the same position soon, too. :) 21:51, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Who said anything about going head to head? I just meant in the future. I know you can nominate yourself, I just thought that might seem desperate or clueless or something. Anyway, don't worry, I'm not making a contest or anything. 13:46, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the compliment
I have a kind of organizational semi-OCD thing with wikis, which results in me doing my best to clean up certain pages I happen upon. I won't be registering yet because my web connection's very spotty (usually only works from 1 to 6 pm), but once I get a new router, I'll probably be here in time for the next Call of Duty game's release in November. I appreciate your noticing my work, and can tell you that if I do register, I hope to keep my contributions of the same quality. Thanks. 74.215.114.200 20:32, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Re:Admin
Well, your contributions are decent for an admin but you need to work on your people skills. Also, your recent block is still rather fresh in people's minds so that may cause a weak support to turn into an oppose-- 23:43, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

RE: User Names
(Does me responding mean you're not an idiot?)

I don't think that's necessary. If people decide to have an unoriginal username, it's their own fault. What would we even do if we implemented a rule like that? Ban people with character-based names on sight? I think that's harsh and unneeded.

This is somewhat unrelated, but out of the thousands upon thousands of people I've seen across all of the Internet, I've only come across two other people known as "Chia": "Chiatorres2", who is now a friend of mine, and "Chia Heads". 23:12, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Stuff (what a vague title!)
So, yesterday I was doing my normal shenanigans of single-handedly killing hordes of Japanese soldiers and leaving my NPC squadmates in my dust on "Burn 'em Out". I went into one of those mini-bunker emplacements, shot the enemy officer in there, severely wounding him. He went into Last Stand, pulled out his Nambu and started shooting at me. But one thing I noticed was that he was crawling away from me. Wouldn't that be disgraceful by their standards? They're supposed to be willing to give their life for their emporer, or such, and he was crawling away, as if he wanted to live. And didn't officers have to be especially patriotic? That seemed very out of character for him.

Have you ever noticed how many people here play RuneScape? You, me, Bigm, and Ross (I think) at least.

Also relating to RuneScape, would you be interested in seeing my Machinima competition entry once it's done? It'll be teh awesome.

Assuming that you have Shi No Numa and/or Der Riese, I assume that you have Verrückt as well. What, may I ask, is it actually titled as in-game? I've heard that it's fully "Zombie Verrückt". I can't check for myself, but if it really is, its respective article really should be respectfully named.

Lastly, you said that depending on what Bigm says about allowing the moving/merging of the "Edward (Doctor's assistant)", it would be moved. Well, uh, that's just now how wikis work. If we had a Cabal or oligarchy in place, then I suppose, but we don't. Wikis are intended so that you can do things without having to ask permission or get approval before doing it (some exceptions, of course). If you believe that you have either evidence or all-out proof that Edward and Richtofen are one person in the same, then you would be able to move it without asking anyone else. If someone were to disagree, they could always revert your move/merge, then you would present your case on the talk page, have a discussion, and come to a conlusion, agreement, or compromise.

What I'm getting from what you said is that you think that sysops have complete or extra say in matters. Everyone has the same say. 22:02, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I half expected the officer to either kill himself right there, or just do his best to kill me.
 * My video should be done within a few days, so I'll send you the link when it's up.
 * AEAE is an important policy for a wiki, but I'm not sure that it's that well known here; especially since the last, and only, real edit to the page was over a year ago. 21:41, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Sergenat Major of the Army
Believe me, I thought that sig would be bad-ass to use, and, after giving it some careful consideration, I thought "Meh. I don't actually have that job...yet...and there's only one Sergeant Major of the Army, so I don't one to claim to be better than Kenneth Preston or anything, in a matter this small and mundane." Besides that, if I put "SMA" in my signature instead of "SgM", the connection might not be made as fast. That one letter could really make a difference. But thanks for the tip on how to put it on my user page, I'll do that. 17:19, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Rollback
I made a semi-large mistake to do with moving pages, i was wrong. can you fix it?   Critchell   Talk 17:04, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Machinimaticism
(Grr, Internet Explorer ate up my first edit.)

Rendered, uploaded and entered into the contest.

CMRhA4LuTwc "A Late-Summer's Day Nightmare"

The full version is an extra minute or so, so I had to cut a lot of things out. It made a lot more sense with that added 60 seconds ;o. I'll be uploading the full version in a few days unless I procrastinate.

How many of the parodic references can you spot? Tell me all seven, or however many you may think that you've found, and I'll give you a metaphorical and non-existant cookie. :) 22:37, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

RE:colonel clusterfuck
lol he thought it would be funny, but don't worry my buddy wont do it again. 00:29, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Argh Blargh You Pushy McPusherson
I can't imagine that would get me banned. But I've seen the bullshit Wikipedia doles out on a daily basis with no consideration, so I'm not terribly surprised. Fine, I'll just be a "Good little boy" and sit in the corner of white, 3x3, four-wall room with no impurities and listen to propaganda for feelings.   SgM.

Re: RFA IN THE COD WIKI OF 09 IN MI
No problem. I have trouble with rambling on about stuff unnecessarily, the trick is to use my rich lexicon to make it work for me. Oooh, I hope you get admin'ed! You really do deserve it. Are you trying to be a Sysop, or a bureaucrat? Or both, as I understand you can be? 07:28, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

And probable? The "probable" UoTM? You might as well say Obama will "probably" be the president. Or in your British case, that Elizabeth II will "probably" be the Queen. Alternatively: Or in your British case, that Gordon Brown will "probably" be the Prime Minister. 07:32, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Three thank you's? This grovelling pleases me. Perhaps if you shipped, oh, say, 200 lbs. (Hehe.) to me, it might change to a "Strong" support. :P Of course I'm kidding. About the money part. This grovelling still pleases me. 07:42, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Yah, sleepy time for me. Seeya around. 07:53, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Re. UOTM
It's really great to have so many people give me this title. Thanks for your support, among them. Sorry the Admin thing doesn't seem to be going that well...but at least you'll definitely be the UoTM soon. It's not the same, but at least you're not completely left in the dust. 03:08, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Re:
Meh, I just banned him cuz he argues with me for the sake of arguing with me and trying to get my powers taken away.-- 19:53, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the chart on the featured article page 12:58, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

RE: Your RS vid
I thought you hated the video so much you were avoiding a response because you didn't want to hurt my feelings! ...Or that you just forgot. I was guessing the latter.

The parodies were:
 * 1) Zero Wing/All Your Base Are Belong To Us (opening conversation)
 * 2) "Scream Aim Fire" by Bullet for My Valentine (the line "The only way out is to die" was said by the bad guy, and was also a line from the song)
 * 3) Death Note (the way the main bad guy's voice was altered was inspired by and semi-referencial to how L, Kira and Near would hide their voices during communiation in the show)
 * 4) Saw (general idea; people locked in room by mad man)
 * 5) Band of Brothers (the line "Sir, we can't stay here! We have to keep moving!" was a direct reference to episode seven of Band of Brothers when First Sergeant Lipton confronted First Lieutenant Dike during the Battle of Foy)
 * 6) Arby 'n' the Chief (saying ":'(" as "crying sad face" is a reference as to how Master Chief says his smilies)

And that's all I can remember. :S 19:24, September 3, 2009 (UTC)

New userbox
I think you might be interested in this infobox I made: Template:Welcomecount. 01:07, September 4, 2009 (UTC)

I've seen the ones on your front page before, so probably. It's not too hard to find how many users you welcomed, to properly use the box. I just went to my contributions, did Ctrl+F, (assuming you have Firefox, this is slowly becoming a no-brainer), and found all my edits that had the simple summary "Welcome!". 22:01, September 4, 2009 (UTC)

Leaving
Please don't leave this wiki because you are very good. DevilWarrior112 20:23 September 8, 2009

RE:RFA
Not nearly, there is only a 20% support for your adminship while 80% is required. I would suggest closing it.-- 19:37, September 9, 2009 (UTC)


 * There's not really much more community to have a say. Your RFA reaches 2 weeks tomorrow which is the time when consensus is reached unless there is a deadlock.-- 19:41, September 9, 2009 (UTC)


 * You can try again whenever you want but 2 weeks is 2 weeks unless there is a deadlock.-- 19:45, September 9, 2009 (UTC)

Re:
Personally I am opposing because of 2 things: 1, you act like an administrator and threaten other users when you have no right to do so and 2, we simply do not need more administrators. 2 active admins and 2 crats is enough for a wiki this size-- 17:10, September 10, 2009 (UTC)

Ban
Sorry BigM. I wasn't trying to show an attitude. I should have worded it differently. I did respect your decision. Please unblock me. I'm sorry. I really don't want to repeat what happened last time.

Please can you unblock me, I need to go about my work here. I guess I won't be an admin. I'm sorry. Come on. I didn't mean it to be a personal attack.

I cannot believe this. Runescape has nothing to do with this wiki. That block is unreasonable. I sent you a total of 2 PMs apologizing and the rest were asking you to reply. Why didn't you reply? Were you looking for another reason to block me? I want to see what Darkman4 and Chia say. You have gone over the top big time.

Well, goodbye guys. My time here was good, but with this unreasonable block, I'm going to coward out like Fedarated. I'm SICK AND TIRED. You officially ruined my time here by blocking me twice unreasonably. I don't want anything to do with you, Rs4life. Why don't you try and imagine how I feel right now.

You'll be lucky if you see me again.

"Why don't you try and imagine how I feel right now." - sorry, I haven't been a 2 year old for 14 years. I forget how it works.-- 20:07, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

Forget about it dude, I'm not very impressed to be honest. I'm not angry with anyone BUT MYSELF. Don't start a war here. Fine. 2 weeks.

Actually, after this outburst plus messaging me on Facebook, Dark upped it to infinite. Crybaby meltdown mode begin-- 20:11, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

Blocked forever by an admin that had nothing to do with it? Unbelievable.

This is unneeded. I cannot believe I have been blocked from the wiki I loved editing so much. Unbelievable. You guys don't understand how much this wiki meant to me.

PLEASE KEEP THE BLOCK FOR 2 WEEKS!!!!


 * If this wiki meant so much to you I think you should take a long look at yourself, since that's pretty pathetic. Darkman 4 20:18, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

File:http://www.feebleminds-gifs.com/volcano.gif = you-- 20:19, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

Fine. I admit I am one of the biggest assholes on the wiki. Just like master190. I really don't know how to stress that enough. I really loved this wiki. Even after I was banned for 1 week, I came back, because I wanted to help. I was in the right state of mind to leave altogether. oh, and don't worry, I know what you and Rs4life have been writing on each others talk pages. That's ok, I can see why you would write that. Remember, I want to have a chat about this.

Oh, and Akyoyo, I'm blocked forever.

Oh, guys, can you actually read once over what I wrote in that RFA? I think you will see that I did not get "pissy" or anything like that. I didnt even mean to get an attitude. Please guys, read it!


 * I'm tired of your shit. When your VFA failed, you should've just said "Oh well" and gone on with your life. Instead, you made a big deal out of it and said things like "You guy's underestimate me!". Here's a hint; those that say stuff like that will usually suck when given a chance to "work their magic". Besides, your whiny attitude tells me that you would be really bad as an admin; the last thing we need is someone that goes off on meltdowns and acts like a child when he doesn't get his way %100. Darkman 4 21:14, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

At least you finally explained why you voted oppose. Now, I ask you kindly to change the block settings. I don't see why you blocked me indefinitely. Why can't you stick to the 2 weeks Rs4life gave me? Or maybe a month would suffice. Please! Why won't you just understand? Why are you being so harsh? You said "A month? A year?" on Rs4life's talk page. Then you go and ban me forever and have a little laugh about it. Please can you take away the indefinite ban. I really just want to forget about all of this shit and get on with my whiny work here. Please will you just agree! I AM SORRY!! I can't stress that enough! Why are you bullying me?

Guys? Please! You don't know how upset you are making me!

Hello?


 * Hello. 22:56, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

I think your being little to harsh to call of duty 4, was what he did really that bad? 23:04 September 12, 2009 (UTC)

You know, you could help here, Joey. Oh, and I just remembered my editcount of over 1800. I guess this is my reward. Not being able to edit the wiki when MW2 is released. I could have put down so much info because I will be getting it on the day it comes out. Please man. I don't know why you are being so harsh on me.


 * Just give it a rest. Your crybaby behavior and inability to accept getting punished tells me that you deserve your ban. Darkman 4 09:01, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

I don't deserve an indefinite ban.... --CallofDuty4 09:52, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

Personally I think you guys are being way too harsh on him. He only disagreed with Rs, he never went full-blown "get off my back" on him. He was being perfectly reasonable until you guys slapped a ban on him. If this is the precedent we want to set, if this is what we want people to think is what happens if you disagree with an admin, then we need a SERIOUS overhaul here. Just my 2 cents, let me know if I need a ban like Callofduty4. Cpl. Wilding 12:49, September 13, 2009 (UTC)
