User talk:FLaSHBaCK HaSH

Moved on from Oblivion to Fallout 3, working on getting every item for the game including quest items. Did this for Oblivion as well, I ended up severly lagging the Wizard's Tower Vault room because too many items in the crates, chests, and barrels.

Guides?
Well, our policy so far was not to allow subjective content (which guides are) in the article namespace. I'll check back with Ausir whether we want to keep that policy though. In any case, you can use the blog functionality to post your guide if you wish. -- Porter21 (talk) 01:00, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Guides
Maybe a section could be added that explains the perspective of guides and the risks/benefits of using them and that all information may not be accurate and such. Anyways ive always found guides to be helpful and if the player is worried about spoilers we could have a Spoiler and No Spoiler section

Editing
Well, I can't find anything wrong with your contributions, help with grammar and formatting is always welcome :) As for current projects, all I could direct you to is the community portal. Maybe you can find something there you'd like to help out with. I have a few other things on my mind regarding projects but I'll have to check with other admins first. -- Porter21 (talk) 17:48, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Mothership Zeta loot
Not sure what you mean by "generic loot", could you maybe elaborate? -- Porter21 (talk) 21:55, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Generic loot sounds about right.--Screaming Banshee 21:58, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

The Project.
If you're gonna be a part of the project, put your name under participants! Nitty 19:31, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

You have to add "in progress" to the ones you're working on! Nitty 21:13, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Redirects and Andale.
Please stop fucking about and ruining the project. Leave it as is. Spoon 20:21, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Porter thought that the strange meat is unneeded. Take it up with him. Sorry if I come off as a bit of a jerk. Spoon 20:26, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Again, I'm sorry. Spoon 20:29, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Apology
I'd like to formally apologise for earlier. I wasn't feeling my best. I hope you accept this, and that we can work together in the future on this project, without incident. Spoon 23:15, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

GOG competition
So, will you be joining the GOG competition? It looks as if no one's interested for now (or maybe it's simply because of vacation time some users are somewhat less active for now). Ausir(talk) 15:28, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

My Templates
Please do not mess with my templates, please. Nukey (Tok) (User blog:AreYouGoingToEatThatNuke?

Vault 112
While your edit was decent, it was also decent the way it was. Second person is going to be what we use here. Nitty Tok. 22:52, March 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * I understand completely. Nitty Tok. 23:04, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

Template
That's what happens if you have a link that points to the same page. User talk:FLaSHBaCK HaSH is bold because that's the name of the page. Nitty Tok. 01:50, March 29, 2010 (UTC)

Vats
'S not PorterBot. It's the patented BluffBoy 5000. >:D

I didn't know that wiki staff could do stuff like that, so I decided to bluff my way through dialogue in case he was reading. Nitty Tok. 00:47, April 3, 2010 (UTC)

Vandal
You can report him, but I think this guy is already gone, he probably doesn't even know thet his edits have been undone :) --Anon (Talk) 03:53, April 13, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for the info I look forword to a future one if it is possible I am hoping to see another guide if there are extreme differances/differant perks because it seems like ther are going to be alot of new rifles in New Vegas juding by the weapons pages.......Jbsnicket 22:40, April 13, 2010 (UTC)

Georgetown
Georgetown is actually at a point far beyond the standards of the Location project.

The projects are only standards, which all pages must have in the least. There's always more to add! Nitty Tok. 02:45, April 19, 2010 (UTC)

Admins and projects
Are you saying that adding a Fallout-era picture to an article is less important than re-ordering sections of the Enclave armed forces page?

Admins get to be admins for reasons. Ones like Grizzly and Ghouly have extensive knowledge of the older Fallouts, Veryblackraven and Itachou are the only ones who bother with Tactics and FOBOS respectively, Goth and Porter know how the templates work and how the rules should be followed, and the others like me and Spoony are simply always around to revert vandal edits.

And the whole "project noticeboard" is a rather bad idea. Editing a page to say I edited a page? I'm not one to go over and check them. Nitty Tok. 12:13, April 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * I hope you don't mind if I add my two cents into this discussion.


 * The main issues behind the things you are noticing are: Time and Volunteerism.


 * Time: Everybody on this wiki, admins too, have real lives that are always higher priority than the wiki. For instance, I am project leader on the FO3 NPC project, and, while I got a whole ton of work done from say Nov to Jan, lately I've done a lot less. Just for a taste of the reasons, I recently got my first IT certification and am currently studying for the next two. I'm also moving this week and simultaneously my hours at work are going to double. So, as much as I desire to put more time into projects, it's just not there to spend. Combine that fact with how small a pool of good editors we have, and you can see why projects drag on or even appear to stagnate for periods of time.
 * Volunteers: This is common to all wikis, but is more apparant on smaller wikis like The Vault. Since everyone is a volunteer, it's just not possible to place demands on people. Around here, most people are generally considerate enough to give notice when they will be absent for some time, and that is helpful to know. But, even when not absent entirely, productivity dips and rises according not only to available time but also according to interest and desire. So, around here, we work toward consensus and encouragement, patience and a willingness to pick up what slack we can. These end up being more effective approaches than deadlines and assignments, etc.
 * It helps to think of this whole wiki as a collective hobby. We're all here because to some degree we enjoy our time at The Vault. Anything we can all do to help our time here remain enjoyable is ultimately good for productivity. This is why lately I have spent more of my scant available time encouraging civil interactions, clarifying rules and procedures, participating in forum discussions, and encouraging new and younger editors. If you look at my own To Do list, you'll see that several of my ongoing projects require blocks of time, which I currently don't have available to me.
 * A final thought regarding the relative "worth" of edits: When I was most active in the NPC project, many of my edits were one-shot full-page revisions, which still only counted as one edit. Maintanence edits tend to be short, quick reversions or adjustments, true. If you look at the admins, though, you'll see plenty of both types of edits. And, when people apply for adminship, one thing many of us do is look through the user's contributions to note the quality and types of edits that make up their count. The 500 count minimum is just that, a minimum. When someone reaches the minimum requirements, then they are qualified to request adminship and have their case reviewed. The review and the needs of the wiki are what count ultimatley, not the fact that they minimum requirements have been met.
 * Bet you didn't expect such a wall of text, huh? I'll just conclude by extending my personal welcome to The Vault, and I hope you do stick around and keep on making quality edits. Thanks for joining our little hobby!--Gothemasticator 19:44, April 19, 2010 (UTC)

"An" homage
"An" is correct before homage. In Great Britain, the "h" in homage is aspirated, but at The Vault we go with American usage and pronunciation, since that is what the games use. So, "an homage" is what we go with.--Gothemasticator 05:09, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

Stickynote
The stickynotes have pre-generated messages and random pages. I wouldn't listen to them. Nitty Tok. 03:23, April 27, 2010 (UTC)

Sniper rifleing
So it seems with the coming of Vegas that there are going to be a bunch of rifles and going to be able to scope 'em all. Meaning that the most accurate gun and the best scope and best ammo and perks are all going to have to be taken into account now so you might have a lot more to it than you oced thought.

Tell Supermutantslayer how to mod guns. :P Nitty Tok. 01:50, October 20, 2010 (UTC)

Like a football team led by JESUS
Like I tell everyone who asks me crap, ask Porter instead. :P

I honestly know absolutely nothing about how the templates around here work; I just have a vague understanding of how to interject content into things like navboxes... :/ Nitty Tok. 22:03, November 17, 2010 (UTC)
