Back on topic, could I please request a ban for Keiichi for repeated vandalism to the '''Colonial Police''' wiki page even when he's been asked to stop? For example, [http://wiki.shartak.com/index.php?title=Colonial_Police&curid=1567&diff=12917&oldid=12916 1], [http://wiki.shartak.com/index.php?title=Colonial_Police&curid=1567&diff=12916&oldid=12914 2], [http://wiki.shartak.com/index.php?title=Colonial_Police&curid=1567&diff=12916&oldid=12914 3], [http://wiki.shartak.com/index.php?title=Colonial_Police&curid=1567&diff=12907&oldid=12887 4], [http://wiki.shartak.com/index.php?title=Colonial_Police&curid=1567&diff=12858&oldid=12857 5], [http://wiki.shartak.com/index.php?title=Colonial_Police&curid=1567&diff=12857&oldid=12841 6], and [http://wiki.shartak.com/index.php?title=Colonial_Police&curid=1567&diff=12651&oldid=12624 7].

Che, I'd stop if the Colonial Police would stop insulting me. It's okay putting me up as a criminal, but why make it personal? -Keiichi.

Greetings

Hiya. >.> Sorry. I just saw that your discussion page looked lonely, and felt like making it not-so-lonely.--Wifey 01:36, 15 May 2006 (BST)

Have search odds been tweaked? GPS units appear common as dirt in Medical Huts (after 700 searches without a GPS unit, that seems like a change to the code). Thanks! --Tycho44 20:43, 17 May 2006 (BST)

  • Possibly, but only in terms of how often GPS units are offered and what locations. Have tweaked it again since I made a slight error in the calculations. --Simon 23:29, 3 June 2006 (BST)

Do you still play Urban Dead? Kripcat 09:13, 26 May 2006 (BST)

  • Sometimes yes, although not as often as I used to. --Simon 23:29, 3 June 2006 (BST)

Re: Comments for LouisB3

Thanks for the feedback. Your specifics sound good (including the toolkit cost) - and, of course, you're the boss.

  • Regarding jungle density: I figured it would need to be zero only when starting, so as to lay a foundation and such.
  • A short hut description is good, I think; I just figured builders would want to give it a few distinguishing features, and the custom descriptions on the inside and outside sound great for that.
  • The biggest puzzle for me is the utility of a partially completed or partially decayed hut: would a hut only be usable if all 50 (or however many) sections are present? If so, then it seems like an owner should be able to perform maintenance before the hut becomes suddenly unusable. Perhaps, then, the hut is usable at 45/50 completion, and the decay is noted in the description.
  • The only other matter I can think of is the relationship between building and owning. The best option is probably having the step-one builder as owner, especially if anyone can add to the hut. From there, it's just a matter of ensuring that passersby know that they won't get any special reward for maintaining somebody else's hut.

--LouisB3 23:15, 3 June 2006 (BST)

  • I would imagine that it'd be usable (i.e, can enter it) from 1 section and upwards, but with an uncustomised description that doesn't make it sound very inviting. Custom descriptions would only be shown from (for example) sections 45 upwards. And as for the owner, it would be the person who put the first section down. --Simon

Regarding my goals: yes, those are my (extremely long-term) goals for my only character. I was surprised there weren't more uber-characters (max level, etc.) given the patterns in Urban Dead. In a game like Shartak, the only limit on great accomplishments is one's organization and the number of days (weeks, months) one plays the game. It's good by me - I put in my 10-15 minutes each day, and I won't be outstripped by the "hardcore" players who would spend hours per day if not for AP. --LouisB3 23:15, 3 June 2006 (BST)

Vandalism

I was wondering, is there any sort of penalty able to be used against vandals? I'm thinking of making posts and putting another user's name, creating pages for the sole intent of making others look bad, creating spam on pages, and so on. Is the only way to revert the edits manally? -Mark D. Stroyer 21:49, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, the few wiki admin (Elembis, Lint and myself) can roll the changes back to the previous revision with one click, or you can copy-paste the whole page/section from the previous revision into the current edit page (tricky to explain). If someone repeatedly vandalises pages, the wiki admin can ban them for a period. --Simon 23:41, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

I've PMed Mark about this on the Derbians boards, but only about thirty seconds ago, so i dont know if he's read it yet...The character Rob Zombie works on the wiki account of Rozen because signing in and out of the wiki is annoying when you have two active characters. So if Rob Zombie signs a post by Rozen, that's all kosher because we're the same guy. Sorry for the confusion, most people who know the characters know about the wiki thing. RobZombie/Rozen

Hey, i'd like to bring up something. Perhaps you already know, but yeah its worth a shot, There is a guy (or guys) in Derby that keep messing around with the writings on huts. One of my characters, Elegost55 from Derby, often sees the changes in the carvings on important buildings, like the Ammo Hut, Medical Hut and Trader's Hut. Whenever i see the carving changed, i carve it back to the real thing. but some one keeps changing them, so i was wondering if it was possible that players can note if anyone changes carvings? cause its not mainly for me, the gps unit serves me well, but more for noobs who are still lost in Derby. (and for sanity's sake! "Do you have stairs in your house?" is written on every hut in Derby.) hehe just a thought though. postcardsaremine

This would be better place in the Suggestions area. For the sake of convenience, I'll add it.--Black Joe 22:26, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Back on topic, could I please request a ban for Keiichi for repeated vandalism to the Colonial Police wiki page even when he's been asked to stop? For example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. Thank You. -Che, slayer of Arminius. 22:01, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Che, I'd stop if the Colonial Police would stop insulting me. It's okay putting me up as a criminal, but why make it personal? -Keiichi.
