Helmaroc King
Dude, I hate to bother you again, but can you give me an expert paragraph for the helmaroc king? Thanks.

Sorry...
Hey Leo. So apparently my proposal with the suggested revisions to the policies wasn't so popular. Sorry if you felt that I was trying to force it upon the wiki or act like I was completely in charge, but wasn't what I did pretty much what an admin should do if they have a revision to suggest? Additionally, if the dispproves continued, I would have pretty much abondoned the ideas as most admins would not have agreed. Anyway, Las already told me that you Pach, and Swg talked about it and that that was the reason that my admin rights were revoked, and I'm not asking to have them back, I just want you to know that I'm sorry.

Help with a Custom Signature
Hello Mr. Leolab

In an attempt to create a custom signature, I crafted up this abomination. It's okay for now but I can't figure out how to get rid of the text "Image" and "250 px" on the top and bottom lines around the image - if I get rid of them the picture disappears too. I also can't figure out how to keep the template but customize the text that most people would change when they leave a message on someone's talk page. Please help me!

Zombie Slayer vs Zombie Slayer
Hi, I'm Kaidus; you might remember me from last night and I realize I might be over-advertising but so far I haven't gotten any votes for the winner of my AMS vs STARS battle. I'd like for you to have a look and leave your vote on who you'd like to win; just make sure to obey the voting criteria. Thank you for your time, I leave in peace (salute).

RE: Custom Sig
Can you please leave instructions on how to add badges to one's user page? Thank you.Cfp3157 03:34, July 5, 2012 (UTC)

What do you mean plagiarise? it's all based on wikia.com. really what bothers me is when you get 2 pages on the same character and they give completely different and oftentimes conflicting information. I try to make the information between sources consistent. also, i'm just getting these pages started up so they are on here the whole point of a wiki is so that people can edit the information to better fit what they're trying to accomplish. if it wasn't for me the information would never have been there in the first place. and I saw no reason for the deletion of the list of spells. those are weapons. since they are weapons being used by a character, then shouldn't they belong on this wiki? I do understand your concerns about the name and I have been working on getting that fixed I just used fbconnect for the first time today and that's what my fb url is :p. so I will work on fixing that as soon as possible--Peace.Love.All.That.Shit (talk) 00:05, July 15, 2012 (UTC)

From Pach to Leo
Hey Leo. Me and Pach were vigorously discussing my suggested policies last night. Eventually, Pach proposed a compromise: The next time a battle arises that has a certain group of people thinking it's unfair, a probational period will initiate testing out the rule letting three users vouch for the deletion of a battle with at least one user specifically stating that he/she thinks it should be deleted due to unfairness. This probational period is to last one week. If it works out, Pach might consider keeping it. If it doesn't work so well, the rule could very well get shelved.

We have also agreed that any battle involving a warrior meeting this wiki's definition for a god warrior vs. a warrior meeting this wiki's definition for a normal warrior is without question, an unfair battle. It is currently undecided whether we can deem any demi-god vs. normal warrior fight unfair as well. It is also currently undecided as to whether or not an unfair battle cleanup will take place, removing past battles from the warriors' statuses.

There was also talk about making more defined instructions for doing reality matchups. While most users here (myself included) don't really care much about that crap, it is nonetheless an important part of this wiki. And there was discussion on some reality matchups that weren't really fair, and that it should be more defined what types of reality matchups are allowed. I don't know a whole lot about what's going on, I'm just giving you a general idea of what was discussed. Contact EA or Hawk for more details.

Lastly, Pach wishes for me to mention the he would like to deem all of his battles off limits for rematches. I can understand where he's coming from, as most of his battles have at least more than twice the amount of work put into them as your average Drayco battle, but I'm not sure if we can make a rule saying something like: "All battles on this wiki done by MrPacheco101 are by law off limits to redoing by any user unless permitted otherwise by him." I think that if three people think any battle should be redone, his disapproval should be as subject to override as any other user's is. Even if he is Pach. Although I don't forsee many Pach battle rematches anyway, as he is very careful in representing the warriors very well.

So, Pach wanted me to tell all this to you so that this can be discussed on the admin talk page.

Phasing out poll voting
Hey Leo,

This has been coming up time and time again for a while, and there has been a general way that the users respond to it in accordance with the way this wiki works these days, and I think if it's going to be so, it ought to be wiki policy. The topic I'm talking about is poll voting. As you probably know better than I do, polls were used for voting in battles back in the early days of this wiki, which evolved into comment voting, which evolved into needing to provide some reason as to why said warrior is deadlier, which then evolved into the standard of voting that we see today.

And in this current era of the Deadliest Fiction wiki, poll voting is frowned upon and greatly discouraged, as it allows both voting without even giving it a thought, as well as is wide open to undetectable sock-puppetry. With standards going up, and the poll phasing out, I think it's time for the altogether legality of poll voting to officially ride off into the sunset.

One question you might ask is: Why bother if users these days don't use it anymore? The reason for that, is that occasionally, when a new user pops up, they sometimes either set up a voting poll, or they ask how to set one up. Often when new users make their first battle, their blog post, voting systems, battles simulations, and often votes on other people's battles, are on par with the standard of quality seen in 2011 and 2010. And along with being on the level of standards seen in earlier days of this wiki comes the usage of poll voting.

Almost every time these days that a new user uses a poll, he gets admonished by other users that poll voting is unreliable for the reasons stated above. In the event that a user might attempt to defend this, then we would be able to tell the user that it is illegal if this was made policy, and that user would have to have a better voting system. I felt ever since the day I joined this wiki and read the wiki's policies that it seemed rather self-contradictory of the battle policy to say it is highly recommended to provide good an strong reasons when commenting, but only if there is no poll. In addition, I think it's rather silly for the battle policy to explicitly state that poll voting is allowed, despite it being discouraged in this day and age.

Though I won't push as hard for this as I did for phasing out poll voting, I would be in support of it becoming wiki policy to not count votes at all that simply state the warrior's name, and require authors to only count votes that have at least some level of reasons, as the strictness of voting policies alone can (and has) in some cases determine the victor of battles.

Reporting a vandal
Hello Leo,

I am leaving this message to inform you that there is an anon vandalizing articles. He is both changing the victors of battles on pages, as well as removed the infobox on one of the pages. Seeing the blatant vandalism from him and that he's not registered, I'm doubtful it would make sense to try and reason with him with warnings, so I'd recommend just blocking him. All of his edits up to his edit on the RCMP page have been reverted, but I am reporting him so that he can be blocked before any more damage is done, and there aren't any admins on chat at the moment. Here is the anon's user page:

Thank you
Thanks for deleting that blog for me. I want to forget about it, anyway.

IslamLEGION (talk) 03:39, April 9, 2013 (UTC)

Okay, hello, I'm a bit confused.
Hey, what's up, so, I'm a bit confused here, I make some edits and they are subsequently deleted, then I get a rollback who tells me that it's okay that I can make said edits, then you come along and delete said edits, and also claim that Hayden doesn't have the authority, so, can you explain to me who has authority over who and when can I edit? It is certainly confusing.

Revisiting the legality of nerfing
Hello Leo,

This has been lurking in my head for a while, and I thought now would be a good time to bring this up since this would solve the dispute regarding what is to be done about Gandalf, and his different incarnations in battles.

I would like to revisit the topic of nerfing other warriors, or otherwise limiting their powers and equipment, and possible legitimate circumstances under which one could do this. Obviously, some warriors have one natural state that all battles assume the warriors are in, and are always represented at full power as per the policies instated back in January of last year, applying to warriors such as wizards form the Harry Potter universe, Jedi, etc. Warriors such as these maintain a stagnant amount of skill and power throughout the mainstream outlets of their respective media, and thus it would be illegal to alter that for purposes of a battle here. However, there are some warriors that cannonically have different stages of power and skill at noteworthy times in their franchises, in which case I could easily see one entering that warrior at that stage into a battle.

For example, Thomas "Neo" Anderson spends most of the first Matrix movie in a state of not having the super-human speed and powers he attains by the end of the film, and possesses in the sequels. While he is best known having those powers, I would not see anything wrong with putting him in a battle without these immense powers, given that he is in his normal form while fighting enemies during some important fight scenes that became rather famous and have even been parodied a lot. Like some other people on the internet, I've thought that John Preston, the main character of the film Equilibrium, vs. Neo would be an interesting match-up. It would be a close battle if it were Neo before his powers were fully developed, but definitely unfair if after. And clearly those people saw no wrong with entering his earlier self into the battle.

Another example is Kratos. I really don't know much about Kratos or God of War, but from what I've heard, Kratos' level of power varies between different installments in the series, in which case there would be perfectly acceptable battles on this wiki with him able to do little more than hold his ground against a normal man. I've heard bits and pieces of mention of this, but my main source is a comment by Drayco on your blog and his stance on what circumstances under which his battle with King Leonidas would be unfair (see number 6). If Godkombat was using the weaker stage of him, them perhaps I, Osh, and Las were jumping the gun a bit in deeming it unfair.

For both of these examples, it would obviously be silly to make separate pages, but nonetheless something would need to be done for their battle statuses to properly accommodate the legal nerfing. Personally, I would be in support of doing something similar to what SPARTAN had going in earlier revisions of Akemi Homura's page. While those nerfings in particular were illegal due to Akemi apparently not having a mainstream cannonical state in which she's nerfed, I think the way SPARTAN handled the battle status was interesting nonetheless, and would be a good way to do it should such actions be legal for other warriors, such as the ones listed above.

Doing this would solve past disputes, any possible future ones, would allow me to do Neo vs. John Preston without a fuss, and, if applied correctly, could leave both parties happy in the controversy regarding Gandalf's different stages of power. In case you are at all curious, here is the chat conversation that originally led to the plan of Gandalf having two different pages before you vetoed it. Unless Drayco or another sysop is on board, I will not argue any further in trying to get Gandalf two separate pages, and would be perfectly happy with a compromise such as the one stated above being applied to Gandalf.

HaydenStudios (talk) 04:14, May 10, 2013 (UTC)

In terms of the separate pages for Gandalf, I said I wouldn't press any harder unless Drayco or another sysop would too, as you'd see if you looked at the last paragraph of the message I posted just above on on your talk page.

The point I'm trying to make is given that there are some circumstances under which it is legal to nerf a warrior, the list of events in one's battle status may be self-contradictory. For example, if I did Neo vs. John Preston, and the latter won, then if that went in Neo's battle status, it wouldn't make much sense that he was victorious over a super powered guy like JC Denton, but then got defeated by a semi-regular human being like John Preston. And what I'm trying to enact here is for it to be allowed to have different places in the battle statuses of such warriors like what SPARTAN did, so that things like that can be cleared up. I'm wanting to make this a standard among warriors that have different stages of powers.

HaydenStudios (talk) 05:04, May 10, 2013 (UTC)


 * Commented because I can because I'm an MURICAN. That's f--king stupid, things have been running smoothly here and we don't need complicated crap like that ruining it. These are just stupid, unnecessary changes. I already brought this up in the Gandalf-logs, and as you can see, it was shot down, for good reason.  05:15, May 10, 2013 (UTC)


 * Las, I respect the fact that the idea of separate pages has been shot down, and I am not pressing any harder as far as that goes. Having separate places in a battle status, on the other hand, isn't very complicated, and it will only be put on the minority of pages on this wiki. HaydenStudios (talk) 05:31, May 10, 2013 (UTC)

"Since when was making sense a concern?"

That belief... completely contradicts the way that I have been taught to think and operate in my life.

Okay, it's obvious now that it's pointless to keep arguing, so I'm just going to agree to disagree, let this topic get buried for the time being, and if criticism arises about battle statuses not making sense, I'll be able to refer people to this conversation and say that I was ahead of the curve.

HaydenStudios (talk) 05:55, May 10, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry
Yeah, I'm sorry I was being dumb yesterday. I wasn't thinking straight, cause I was really stressed about something. I didn't mean to sound like a total retard.

I know you might respond by calling me stupid, but I just wanted to apologize.

Editing the Chat Mod section
Hey Leo. Since EA's resignation and Richard Starkey's being booted, should someone edit the chat mod page. On there, it says both of them are still chat mods, and I feel it should be changed ASAP. However, I am not sure if whether or not I am allowed to since I am not an admin or B-Crat. Please either respond or change it. Thank you and have a nice day.

Taking Hellstorm for Myself
Hey Leo,

Lasifier, as he is now called, hasn't been holding up his end of the deal. I've been handling our so-called "collaboration" all by myself. I want to take the rest of the season and do it myself, since he has displayed complete disinterest in not only helping me, but in continuing and completing the rest of the season. Am I in the right to do this? Please get back to me, and I appreciate any time you could spare in helping me sort this out.

Also, I will be gone until Monday, so this issue can be lower on your list of stuff to deal with. No worries.

Thanks a bunch.

Summonable Allies
What if a fighter, who is a magic user, could summon an ally- like an armed and armored skeleton, or a man-sized bug, or some beast that can strengthen the summoner and other allies, or weaken the summoner's foes- any rules against using that ability? Reason is, I have a game called Gladius, and two of the fighters in it are capable of doing such things. Alockwood1 (talk) 13:58, September 29, 2013 (UTC)
