User talk:RAP/Archive 11

Oh! Hello there. If you may know me, my name is Ryan, or RAP (pronounced "rap") as my username. I may not be a 'crat anymore (and so does Cobold for a different reason), but that doesn't really stop me from continuing to manage the wiki. Today's world for the wiki there are a lot of things users should be doing, if you have the patience to spot the hidden errors of course. ;o For me, I think my userpage seriously needs a heck lot of cleaning up to do. That includes the sub-pages I still have laying under my control. All I need is to learn more about the wiki syntax so I can focus on better things... by better things I mean the userpage first. Patience my friend... all will be updated soon. If you want to talk to me, go ahead! Talk, rant, question, concerns, etc. I respond to these messages most of the time. Remember that. ;o

Dude
Did you see this template: on ? It means not to DELETE or TAMPER with the file, which you just did. But it's ok, mistakes happen.

Rap, We have a problem. Willy on Bells is here. I was looking at info on Mario and I went to my userpage and under the Who's her section i saw Willy on Bells You're the only Beaureacrat here at the moment, So you might have to block him quick.


 * Head in hands*

Lemme guess...Inactiveness?

Sorry about you demotion, buddy. I'm sure that you will get it back though... (I'll persuade Cobold ;) )


 * Throws brick at rubber. Bounces right back and hits him in the head.*

Life's just not fair, is it?

RAPtacular!
Thanks, I really appreciate the comment. Bust-a-Move, eh? Yeah, I've played that one. It was a pretty cool puzzle game. Right now, I'm playing Guitar Hero: World Tour while refreshing recent changes after each song. Yeah, I haven't been going into chat as much as I was, because my internet connection is very poor and tends to drop me from chat pretty often. It usually takes 10 minutes just to connect to chat, if I even do connect to chat. x_x 00:01, 14 December 2008 (EST)
 * Yeah, I'm tapping into the library's connection, which is one block away from here. Our internet got shut off a while ago, along with the cable and phone. Not having a phone is kinda nice, since you don't have to worry about telemarketers, and no cable is peaceful too, since there was never anything on. Guitar Hero is AWESOME. I wouldn't recommend Guitar Hero III though; it has a lot of good songs, but the difficulty is through the roof. GH2 and GH World Tour (the newest one) have great songs, and the perfect difficulty. I've never gotten the chance to play a Call of Duty game though; are they only for the X-Box? I remember playing Crash and Spyro all the time back in the late 90s. They were a great way to pass time. I used to love playing the Namco Museum games too. Tetris? I never was good at that game; I usually made it through a few levels and either got bored or died. It looks pretty cool though. 15:02, 14 December 2008 (EST)

Im fine
Yea, Im just gonna do what I can in these two weeks. Sorry to hear about your computer though. lol, are you seriously gonna do that much in less than 2 weeks? Sounds epic. Btw, what group drawing are you talking about? I never heard of a groupp drawing :O.
 * Lol, yea it takes a long time to rewrite articles. You gotta do alot of stuff. rofl beta testing xD. And about the group drawing thingy, well, I dunno. It's your choice on how you wanna do the little group photo, just do whats best for you :P.

PMTTYD Sprites
Hey, RAP. Do you know of a good place to get PMTTYD sprites like this one? 23:30, 30 December 2008 (EST)
 * I remembered that they were in separate pieces, and luckily I have pieced them together before for a Userpedia game I was planning a few months back. I couldn't remember where they were though, so I thought I'd ask you. Thanks for replying; I'll keep looking around too. 20:55, 31 December 2008 (EST)
 * Oh! Yeah, I use Microsoft GIF Animator. It's free for download, and it's not a trial! It's really basic, but it works perfect for animating sprites. That's how I made all the GIFs that used to be on my userpage. ...Speaking of which, I need to work on my userpage some more. :O 21:58, 31 December 2008 (EST)

Um...
RAP, I wanna ask you about the RAP's Mansion sprites that were on the Scribblewiki Userpedia. I was just wondering if I can use that as a "template". Basically, I'm just asking you if I can recolor and edit it for one of my own backgrounds. I'll credit you, I just wanted to ask you so I can make sure it's OK.Shadow Boshi 13:26, 9 January 2009 (EST)

Uh, sorry, but since my computer got taken away, and I can't find the image, it's not done. I'll do it on my sister's computer, and show you it if you can find it for me.Shadow Boshi 13:18, 11 January 2009 (EST)

Nvm, I got it from the Userpedia Forums. I'll show it to you once without the editing(just a recolor) and THEN the edits. But since they'd be personal images, I'll need someone to delete two of mine.Shadow Boshi 13:33, 11 January 2009 (EST)

Thanks!
Thanks for correcting all those mistakes in my user page, i had been wondering what was the problem with WarioWare: Touched!

Re: Hai!
Hey! It's been a while, though I guess the fault is partially mine: I'm notoriously bad at contacting my friends, even if I wanna talk to someone, they have to start it for me. It's one of the unusual things about me XP Things are going good for me, actually, which is a nice change. I've applied to university, finished my giant art project, and all my pets are doing okay (well, Iggy won't eat, but he's always a pain). I didn't get your message until today, but I was on late last night because I wanted to finish the Mario and Luigi's father/Papa move; it's not often I get to do big-ish projects, and I wanted to be thorough ^_^ It's too bad you're sorta alone on the Wiki now - I was feeling lonesome myself earlier, since DP left (or disappeared - I'm not sure what people are saying about it anymore). On the Wiki, I have a few projects I could take up next time I have some free time (like this past weekend), but nothing too spectacular. "Retro RAP", huh? It seems to me everyone becomes more fun when they have less power. DP once told me he became much nicer after his demotion, and I'm sure peope are saying all manner of nasty things about me for removing the "fun" from the old Referata Userpedia. Ah well, c'est la vie. - 22:14, 18 January 2009 (EST)
 * Sorry for not responding faster - it's been a crazy, busy week! That's why I have that status bar, actually: I'd rather spend my free time editing the Wiki, as opposed to chit-chatting. These sort of conversations are fine though: they have more substance than "What are you doing?" "I just got a new game: Mystery Land" "Never heard of it." "It's cool: it has vampires." "Lol, epic." ... I'm just antisocial - I come to the Wiki all the time because it beats socializing in RL XP Yeah, those sorts of big lists do need work; I'm about to embark on another timeline project, so I just hope the Games by Date page is accurate :o I've been going back and forth between here and Wikipedia adding release dates to all the random NES games - it's shoking how many holes there are in our database! Yowza, good luck with all your images! - 22:44, 23 January 2009 (EST)
 * That rots about the schedule changes. I've been patrolling, but there's not much editing for me to do either at the moment (I have too much schoolwork to take on any big projects during the week <_<). I think a rule/guidebook would be quite usefull: there's way too much ambiguity around here, IMO. Actually, I've always felt people overappreciate me - I'm really self-depreciative, so I never feel like I deserve kudos or attention, especially compared to a lot of people I know (this applies to RL as much as it does here). Right now, I'm fretting about deletion policies. I really want to delete a bunch of superfluous templates (all they do is repeat what's said in the SMG template on a smaller scale (i.e.  or )), but I don't think I should just go ahead and do it; however, there's quite a few of them, so I'd have to canvass all their talk pages or create a Proposal, and it's a little minor for that, I feel. I remember Coincollector deleted a template of mine without getting feedback first (though with good reasoning), so I wonder if if I could get away with it too... I dunno, I'm just WAY too scared of crossing lines... -  22:36, 29 January 2009 (EST)

Mario3v
Hey RAP have you ever thought of putting userboxes on your user page just asking k.

So tired, but I must be on the wiki in till 3:00am I hate it... but I must, and how are you doing so far?

Oh its the same time here about 1:45am now ahh im so tired but I must be on the wiki.

You know Stooben right I think but im not sure he finally when to sleep he really needs to sleep more he is almost always up till this time or more its really bad that he does that.

Well this is going to sound crazy but its almost like the wiki is calling me lol right but its true.

Hey RAP are you not tired or you are?

Same here but its mostly because of the wiki ahh I feel like im going to ko soon because I am so tired.

Hello RAP how are you and can you speck spanish?

What a drag, school.

Hello RAP how are you?

Oh thats on G4 right not sure?

Okay, I knew I was correct just was not sure.

Hey RAP are you not tired yet?

RAP not to be nosey but did something bad happen in Wayoshi's past you know Wayoshi right and if you do not know I will ask Stooben I am 98% sure he knows k?

Hello RAP how are you doing?

Thats good.

Hi RAP how are you doing? -- 02:54, 1 February 2009 (EST)

Predicament
I'm mainly asking you because 1) Stooben already has enough to deal with, and 2) You're smart and things.

So, I dunno if you've played Wario Land: Shake It or not, but I noticed there is no list of treasures or anything. Which of these options sounds wise...

1) Create a new section on the game article, listing all the names. 2) Briefly mention them on the game article, while linking to a separate article (which has yet to be created) such as "Treasure (Wario Land: Shake It)" or whatever you think sounds better, where I would have all the treasures' in-game descriptions, and I'd have to take screenshots of every one as none seem to exist on the internet yet :/ 3) Do nothing (be lazy) 4) Just have a list on the game article, no pictures. 5) Any other option you might think of...

Sorry to bombard you with all this, but you're a high-ranked User so you'll hopefully have a wise answer.

Oh crap, well... sorry for disturbing you. Can you recommend someone who I should ask the same question to?

Greetings
Yo RAP, once again you upload images, this time with Super Mario RPG. I just wanna know, where are you taking those images from? Looks like you're taking them from a magazine, but that's only my guess... R you scanning these pics...?

Category
What's wrong with that category? Transcript 02:26, 22 January 2009 (EST)

*zips lips*
Yo! Not much is up. Just using the new template I made. :D Whoa, it sounds like you've got an awesome project going. Is it something I can help with? 15:46, 30 January 2009 (EST)
 * Would this suffice? 15:57, 30 January 2009 (EST)

Hi, RAP. Please delete the article that Twentington made. Thank you.
 * You're a hero, RAP! [[Image:RPGMarioin3D.PNG|24px]] Clay Mario [[Image:RPGMarioin3D.PNG|24px]]
 * YAY!! You put me in your edit summary! You made me feel SPECIAL!!!! You get a pretend sticker!!
 * Hi RAP. Can you please fix this up please? It might give a bad first impression on some guests and new users.
 * Well, its good that the visitors are still seeing the January version. It's like that we are in the future and they are from the past. (Thank you, cache) But anyway, do you want me to list down the stuff? I think I'll be pretty good at that. Or not? I just want a sysops permission before I edit a main page template.
 * Cool. I get to use my EMERGENCY POWERS like in Star Wars Episode II as long as you verify it. I tried googling "super mario" feburary, but all you get is some stupid blog posts. How about we write "Febuary 1- The day the MarioWiki became unprepared for the mario calendar" lol. Hopefully we can figure stuff out, and fast. Cache is cache, and it won't always be there to save us. --
 * Hey, RAPstar, I think I have something! EYYYYYYYYYYYYYHAHHAH I SO EXCITED MY FIRST EDIT ON SOMETHING THATS GONNA BE ON THE MAIN PAGE OH YEAH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Here it is:

Release date for Mario & Luigi RPG 3 Feb 11.

Look at this article Huh, Rap? Is it Good?


 * RAP? Hello? I'm gonna start yodeling...lolz

Raw Data
*walks back late* Sorry for the late reply; I'm losing track of my messages. XP Anyway, massive kudos on the raw data; I'll give you more links when I find them. :) I've been doing good; trying to keep up with wiki maintenance, all the while finishing up this; it's over 93kb! How've you been? 10:38, 4 February 2009 (EST)
 * Hi, RAPstar. What's going on in the wiki! I'm starting to get bored because every single article I want to create is taken. When the Main Page says complete Mario series, they aren't kidding? So, any articles need to be fixed? I NEED SOMETHING TO KEEP ME OCCUPIED IN THE WIKI! :D --
 * I play alot of old skool mario games like the original Super Mario Bros., and are a BIG fan of Mario Kart Wii, and Super Smash Bros Brawl. But theres not much wrong with those articles. --
 * Any articles you need help with, RAP?
 * Okay, thanks RAP.
