Voila, my user talkpage has reached 200th sections, so you can now archive it. Just do not remove any section after that. --Blitzwing 15:33, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

And you'll NEVER guess where i got the idea...
The sprites are kinda wierd i guess...But i did get the idea from a wierd place. We were studying ancient Greece in history class, and we had to draw a map of the Mediterranean. Since I drew it sidways (it was longer than tall) i had to put it in my binder sideways. I looked at it later and noticed it looked really wierd, like some alien monster. I drew it a bit more simplified, and kept drawing new versions of it, one point switching from alien to robot, and eventually I got the the current (and final) design. It looks WAY different from the original, but still has the head spike with three dots, the power core, and only a flatter gun. Look up Mediterranean sea on Wikipedia and look at it sideways so that Spain would be at the top. You'll see whut I mean.

I'll wait. Don't Rush! (BTW, I has updates on Mr. McNuggets! :3)
LOL! Well, when you write long, I feel and urge to write long back! Like I always say, take your time. Oh and it depends what you mean by "something cool." If you're not in an explaining mood (I know I'm not, dang cross-country has worn me down to a mushy puddle) than surprise me! Oh and look up "What pikmin do in their free time" on Youtube. It's a bunch of funny Brawl images of Pikmin doing...things. Oh yea, and Mr. Duggins (Or Mr. McNuggets) has gotten a new job at Dunkin' Donuts! The one closest to the school precisely. He's been seen by the caffene-loving friend of mine. We started making fun of his name and adding it to fast-food restaurants, but I doubt you have many of these in Australia; Duggin' Donuts (Dunkin' Donuts, duh), McDuggald's (You know this one), Kenduggy Fried Chicken (Kentuky Fried Chicken), and Dugway (Subway.)

Re:Bananas... and Frisbies? o_O
Well what Autism does is... well, It's hard to explain. First look at This. I have Aspergers wich is a milder version of Autism. Anyway I don't know how to interract with people corretctly. So, I tend to spout random things and sometimes not act my age. I told you that because that Luigi guy saaid something and triggered me to something ranndom about my Summer. And my name comes from, well, I choose it because... I don't realy know, but I tried to think of something origanal and thats what I got. --

SAMUEL L. JACKSON MUTHA*****
LOL Mr. T is pwnsome, but let's not forget Sam. Two of the funniest african americans on this planet.

..... I'm concerned nao... O_o Come to think of it, it is easy to be nice on the internet.

* all of a sudden has glasses and sits down in chair* Now, tell me about how you are abused.

W00Tness!!!

I know how you feel. There are some games that exist whereas something almost useless has to be unlocked by doing something almost beyond impossible. Rly dumb.

Well, I'm still having trouble at the Red Eye (that big T-rex). You may not believe me because the T-rex is hinted in the intro.

I had no idea. O_o Awesome advice.

Holy...Archive! :O
Yes, George W. Bush is about as bright as a wet match in a dark cave. ...And he's lead the USA for the last 8 years...that's not saying my for my country.

I will let you know. The MediaWiki one failed, because I can't find a host for it. :\ So, probably within the week you'll gain access to a new Userpedia.

Aye, I understand. Those poor people in Africa. ;_; And those poor people with AIDS. The most tragic thing going on in my life right now, is that my dad has been unemployed for several months, so I'm supporting the family... I'm surprised I'm on the wiki as much as I am. o_0

Actually, I say that a lot. :P

ROFL. No, I don't live on a mountain, but I live very near them. I'm in Colorado, and am about 4 miles from the highest mountain in the state – yet, surprisingly, I'm in a populous city. Here's mountain time zone:

Yeah, chat on Dial-up is horrible, and on DSL it's pretty slow. I hope to see you on sometime. :)

Lol, take your time. I don't like rushing people.

Also, Nerdy Guy's comment reminded me: I don't know if you know or not, but I have a few disabilities as well.
 * ADHD
 * OCD
 * I'm also 1/3 color-blind, and as such, I cannot see the colors orange, brown, and purple. (Dunno how purple fits in there. o_0) I use different shades of gray to tell the colors apart, but it gets tricky when making artwork and having to shade it. :O

20:34, 28 October 2008 (EDT)

You're welcome. Ambidextria

And Mr. T is awesome type! :D
Thanks. You're awesome too. Srsly, you've got to be one of the best online freinds evar!

Uhhh... can you thoroughly explain that to me? I'm still new to this IV/EV stuff. ^^ I got the virus from my first Treecko.

Sure. :)

I'll use it, but I must say I disagree with some of the natures. I was lucky to find an adamant Heatran on Diamond and his attack is almost as good as my Swampert's. He also still has incredible SP. ATK.

NO WAI, dude. I'd sooner snap back at my own mother than call you something that mean.

* gives you entire list of pokeymanz* *after you've read the list, I tell you I'm joking* Well, I'd like you to make me a Vigoroth with grey fur and a blue hair thingy (y'know, the little fire thing on his head) and black Salamence with blue wings and lining (by lining I mean those things on his head and the stripe under his tail etc). Thank you. :)

Thanks. ^^ I don't see how anyone could be mean to you, though. You're just too awesome. *we see Vegeta and Nappa spying on our convo*

Nappa: Vegeta! What does the scouter say about his awesome level?

Vegeta: IT'S OVER NIIINE THOOOOUUUUSSSAAANND!!! *crushes scouter*

Nappa: WHAT, NINE THOUSAND!? There's no way that can be right!

Porygon Z FTW!
I'd like to see all the recolor thingits so far. If i had a Pokemod, I'd definitely be a Porygon Z, only dark blue and black.

Archive Thingy
1: I'm lazy /:.

2: If the forum doesn't accept you, post it yourself the day of the release. All you need to do beside cut/pasting the section is to check other 'Shroom pages to get the fancy coding.

3: "Mario Game in the Future" goes in Fake News. All Fakes News stuff go to Stooben, so ask him. --Blitzwing 17:32, 30 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Aw blast. I noticed you only did one big archive for my talk instead of breaking it into smaller sections. COould you please break it into 4 archives of 50 sections each? plz thnx & bai. --Blitzwing 06:48, 31 October 2008 (EDT)
 * 1:.. Nah, I didn't tell. Not your fault.

2: Yeah. --Blitzwing 15:13, 31 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Yes. --Blitzwing 05:40, 2 November 2008 (EST)
 * You're not the only one /:. There's so much writers late that I have to delay it to November 8th.

Happy Halloween!
Guess what I dressed up as? A guy sitting at home eating candy and playing Brawl! :P I guess if you could somehow make Porygon-Z look a little bit more "humanoid" (like you could move the arms to the bottom and add more arms) that would be pretty cool. It would be kinda like my made-up Porygon V, only V has arm cannons, flat feet and a different head. Uhh...the Plat sprite would be best if you could flip the head so that the "nose" is on top and the little spike is the nose. By dark blue, i mean REALLY dark blue, and black.

Halloween? Crazy!
That's neat - I was just talking to someone from Singapore and she said that there Halloween wasn't prominent either... hmm... I must spread the joy of Halloween to the whole world! Sugar rushes and exhausted parents for all! Anyway... if I can be a nag for just a second, you have one of your funny things on your user page written as, "Imagine if Peach and Daisy had a full-on b**** fight" I think you know how it ends. ;) I was wondering if, for the sake of the no swearing policy you could either star out the word like I did above or replace it with "cat"? I don't know if you've heard the term, but a "cat fight" refers to two women attacking each other... and I believe it's the same thing.  Anyway, Happy Halloween!  12:37, 31 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Yeah, I understand. Australia isn't the only country with that problem: "hell" in the UK isn't considered a swear at all while over here it's rude, but not necessarily a swear.  Honestly I think our ban on language doesn't hold water for those reasons.  Stumpers is the name of a character I made... not really sure why I thought it'd be a good username.  Anyway, I popped it in first at Nintendo.com and here I am now.  Nintendo's forums actually had a mascot named Stumpy the Horse.  I suppose it was fate that I would pick an in-joke name without knowing the in-joke!  See you around!  10:25, 2 November 2008 (EST)
 * Let's see... to be general, this is what we look for:


 * 1) Active User
 * 2) Good, consistent edits to mainspace articles
 * 3) Participation in community (ie proposals and issue solving)
 * 4) A calm, balanced approach to problem solving
 * 5) Not quick to anger or cutting on userspace (talk pages... I also should note edit summaries here).
 * 6) Hasn't asked to be a Sysop in recent memory. (PS You didn't - you asked how I became one, so you're still good.)
 * If I were you, I'd keep doing what you're doing, and keep the third and forth points in mind. Eventually, we'll need another sysop and think of you.  Then you get the best part: going to the secret sysop forum and looking at all the nice comments about you!  23:33, 2 November 2008 (EST)

^__^ Happy Halloween!!!! :D

Holy Cat Litter!
Now that was one impressive header! :o

Meh, I've been doing it since April, except for in May (briefly), until my dad had a heart attack. I've been doing my homework at work, then coming home and getting online. It's no problem, really.

No problem! I'm glad it helped. Wtf, it doesn't sound like a pleasant experience, but go ahead and tell me about it. :o

You have OCD! Awesome! Well, not awesome, but it's cool that someone else here has it. :P I have it really bad; I drive my parents up the wall with my anal ways. I don't know if you've ever seen the show "Monk", but I have OCD fairly close to him. So, yes, you have OCD easily. I dunno which is worse though. ADHD basically means I'm hyperactive, so I can't sit still and I get annoyed very easily. Oh, I forgot I told you I was color-blind. XP I must have amnesia, lol. Naw, it's not too hard to do sprites and artwork. (Unless I have to shade it.) Naw, no one thinks you have amnesia. ...I think...

Sure, I'd love to hear how you solved it!

And last but not least, your artwork:

Dom's Note: The image is here - having the image embedded was slowing down loading times!

I hope you like it! 09:45, 1 November 2008 (EDT)

Lol, Long Message
That is the longest message I've ever seen! That will take me a while to get to you in a full response, especially considering the fact that I'll be away for 2 days with no private internet access. (IDK if I told you, but I have to keep this wiki a secret! :O) But I can guarentee to you that my next story will be pretty dirty, becuase along with the Five-Hour meet, I'll tell you about this band practice I had once that was ROFL hillarious! Stay tuned!

Holy Crutons! (That's what priests put on top of salads.)
Yeah, but it made me laugh. :O

Meh, just as I was getting used to the work, they laid me off. They actually laid 4 employees off, and cut 9 others' hours back by at least 2/3. Only the managerial and janitorial staffs work full-time now.

WTF!? Your dad had to buy one on e-bay? That sucks. My dad was looking into that once, but when he found out that they were averaging $1,200, it wasn't worth it. Sorry to hear that happened to you. :\

Yeah, same here. My parents easily get annoyed by my little quirks. But sometimes, OCD can be really awesome: like when you wanna clean the house up real nice when you have company coming over, or when you wanna alphabetize something. :)

Epic! Glad to see you don't take crap from anyone. That earns you another 40 Uber Points. :O (Yes, I too have a point system.)

Yay! I'm glad you like it! I'll start working on your gif next. :)

Oh! I forgot to tell you what I wanted the gif to be. XP See the ones where I'm going into my egg shield? That'd be the perfect gif. Thanks again.

Oh, and today's election day in the USA. And thank God Obama is pwning McCain so far. :D 17:31, 4 November 2008 (EST)

Me again
Hi!!! Me again. My Autism made me want to show you this prank I made. You have new messages (last change).

If you clicked the "new massegaes", you should've realised it was a Rick Roll. To make this copy the fowlling text

You have new messages (last change).

*comes back all late*
....WOAH!!1!!1111! Those are some helpful resources! :D Thanks.

LOL Did you know that when a Pokemon is cured from Pokerus a symbol appears in their info box? In the GBA games, it was a dot. Int eh DS games, it's a smiley.... that doesn't smile.

Thanks! I'll remember this. Your tutorial makes this dinosaur look liek a piece of cake.... *gets hungry*

Well, I prefer certain natures for certain pokeymanz. For instance, my Vigoroth has an adamant nature, lieks to fight, and lieks spicy food. His Crush Claw is usually a one hit KO on pokeymanz liek Jumpluff or Bellossom.

OMIGAWD THANK YOU SO MUCH I LUV THESE SPRITES!!!1!1111!111!

Why would any friend make fun of you? You should tell them straight up to f*ck off and if they don't, get physical.

LOL I never noticed the "No racists" rule of your page. I just said it. :P Thank you. I've always admired the Australian accent very much. No, my accent is normal. Do you have an accent? Yes, I do that too, but I'm way too imaginative. For example, I keep thinking Stooby is literally a blue Yoshi kid. :P I see you as a Duplighost, with a black cloak and green eyes with a blue wrim.

Holy sh** for the first time Dom put a short sentence instead of some bigass paragraph :O
lol, and the original user was most likely Rs2play, who started creating Runescape articles on a Mario wiki =/
 * wtf yah you do lol, its always random :P And I srsly dont know, who cares the guy got blocked.

New Message that Won't Break Your Rules
I was just giving you general guidelines, no need to worry... you know what you're doing right and what you aren't. But, really, being a sysop isn't worth ruining your real life over! If you don't have enough time, you just don't and thats how it is. How'd you get your username? 00:37, 6 November 2008 (EST)
 * Nah... not ruined! But I do spend too much time here.  I wish I could just limit myself to once a day, y'know... one half an hour in which I destroy all vandalism and contribute in one fell swoop!  MarioWiki is like Facebook... whenever I'm bored senseless I check it.  Not necessarily a good thing!  And yes, I have seen your image of the week, and the Stump approves!  Speaking of, I should update my userpage image...  10:09, 6 November 2008 (EST)

Yep! n.n of course! ,hmm about Halloween.. I don't know :D <_<  btw, I love pumpkins n_n

Yipee, Time Has Been Given To Me!
This was posted up there on your page somewhere, but since I'm responding in full, I'm putting down here!

Oh no, it wasn't! :) Yea, it is hard to stay online long, especially with my secret! Oh yea, I have to keep it because my parents aren't exactly fond of sayings like wtf or rofl, and actually don't think my Wii obsession is good at all. So they'd freak out if they caught me on here! I joined in total secrecy and have kept that, and I nearly blew it once when I typed "Mario W" on my Wii search. I quickly improvised and put "Mario Wii Games." It was to show my dad SMG and how cool it was. I'm lucky my Wii and computer are kept in the less used downstairs, but that's not to say my family doesn't run down to check on things.

OK, I'll start your PM response with naugty story 1( which I know you've been waiting for!) Our first band rehearsal! So it started of with loads of talking and misbehavior, to which my band teacher freaked out at. She has this odd twitch in her eye when things don't go her way. A kid walked up to her (He happens to be on my Cross-Country team) and told her to yell, "P*NIS!" to get everyone to be quiet. Being annoyed and not really caring, she yelled p*nis as loud as she could and only when everyone burst in laughter did she realize what she said. She, too, had to laugh at her goof up! Finally, when we got on stage, everyone was chattibg again, so now she yelled; "YOU GUYS ARE SO FRIGGIN' ANNOYING!" at everyone. She responded with; "Friggin' isn't a swear, because I checked!" I almost wet myself with laughter!

Was that a good one? I feel it was the best story yet. The p**** thing turned into a fad, where two kids would yell it occasionally during practice!

YES! Add more Random Funny Things! They make me ROFL and LOL like mad! :D

Now, the five hour meet story; It was the 's invitational meet. Naturally, everyone was hyped up to run and bursting with energy, but that proved our greatest downfall. The meet was split into 4 races; (Normally there are only 2) Girls A race, Boys A race, Girls B, and Boys B. I was unlucky enough to be part of group B, the slower group, who ran last. -_- So the runners of my group and Girls B were waiting...and waiting....and waiting, for about 5 or so hours after school ended. But what happened in those hours was the real craziness. It started of with rolling down a large, steep hill. Then into turned to crawling/doing pushups on it. Now THAT was tiring! Now with a second's worth of energy burned, we all needed a good laugh or something. So we saw this man who looked EXACTLY like Osama Bin Laden! We ROFL'd at him for a while, which changing into more hill playing. Afterwards, the craziness intensified, with piggy-back races and such. Finally, when we got to run after about 5 hours of udder chaos, we finished as a team in last from our wasted energy. :P

Really? Gosh, your one of the nicest here! Amnesia, lol. Really? Must be tough like that; the worst I get is getting humorously called an alcoholic or drug-addict, but that is a huge running gag in our school! I can tell you almost everyone jokes about that stuff, like my best friend (who happens to be a girl) joke around about that kind of stuff. But wow, you really have it hard! Sorry you're getting all of that undeserved crap! :O

It sounded how you say, exciting. Yea, I never really got why we don't just call it English, but we have to make it complicated and put Language Arts instead. Lol, yer welcome! Weird, but very true. The closest I've been to the Australian language was England and its (to me) odd accent. Oh gosh, that is hard. And I don't wanna sound like one of those evil-stereotype people. But here goes, "Ello' mates! Wanna 'ead down to the park for a game of Football?" Ugh, pathetic, isn't it?

Well, yes and no. She has a model of the Female upper body an a cart, and we got a good look at that...But others are just color coding reproductive parts! <_<

Well, yes we do. Lol, creepy. :P Not really.

Yea, neither do I (I mean a YT account). Palkia and Stoobs just recently got an acoount, though! :O

Yea, it seems that way. I think I may have done that, but I'll check soon to make sure. I beat that level for sure though.

Lol, brainiac story! That was funny! A teacher who thought they were hard was really easy! XD ROFL!

Lol, clumsiness is common to me. I fell many times in Gym class once, IDK if I already told you that... But that was just plain funny! And your cat all "WTF?" at you seemed like it was the funniest thing ever!

Hmm, well, I have no specifics for sprites. Perhaps surprise me! I need an alternate form for my noremal sprites anyway! :D

THAT didn't go as expected...
Meh, the Porygon-Z mod wasn't as great as i pictured it...I realized recently i SUCK at Mario Paint. I'm having trouble with the 19 notes of K.K. Song, while some beginning people easily make complex, pwnish songs. :( I haven't been able to work on Ch. 8 yet, so... And i just recently realized I'm actually pretty good with a lot of chars on Brawl, so watch out...I've also decided to get Phantom Hourglass, Wind Waker, and Twilight Princess for Xmas. I already have Link's Crossbow Training, which is really good. I pwn at Kaik-whatever, almost got 100,000 pts from it :P

Dodongoes!
Thanks for teh sprites, buddy. :)

Why do you hate Ambipom? He's a pretty decent pokeyman.

Actually, Slaking has that no good ability everyone hates, so I'm sticking with Vigoroth. Slaking is, however, a pwnsome pokeyman. He took out my Blaziken with one body slam after surviving a sky uppercut. O_O THANKS! I'll pwn him for you! :D

What do you think I look like?

Yup, physically is the best way to handle things. That's how I keep my mammoth sister from eating everything in the house.

LOL I've always wondered that. I can never imagine myself sounding weird. xD

WTF What?
I say that on chat far too much :P Anyway, that was a REALLY wierd message...And I have NO idea what it meant. And I have no idea what callous is- I laways thought it meant when your fingers get all hard from playing guitar too much. I figured out that it's not that i suck at MPC, but rather that I suck at recreating songs. Right now I'm making the song for the battle against the LES (You remember, the boss of Chapter 3?) and it PWNS. It's a bit too heavy metal for the battle, but it has an AWESOME sound effect I made in it. And I'm just sayin that my idea for the mod was kinda crappish, not how you did it. It would need a lot more to become what I truly imagined, and would need god-like spriting skills to make. And...uh...yeah. Oh, and have you ever played Mother 3? It is amazingly epic. Ask Hemu for all the links- You'll need the game, the translator patch, and a GBA emulator. I got al those for free, so don't worry about cost.

Holy Schnitzel! I won the Internet!
Hello, Dom. It has been many suns and moons since I have last posted a random message for you. I had been transported to an alternate dimension, where Teletubbies ruled on-high. I have crossed many barren wastelands with nothing but the "Got SPAM?" shirt on my back, and the Duct Tape in my hands. I have travelled to Hell, only to have a debate about whaling with the Devil.

After finding the Ark of Randomness, I was transformed into an Uber-Random being. In my new random form, I was able to be random beyond all... uh.... randomness. But, in this new form, I had an extreme craving for apples, so I had to get a Mac. Being a PC user, I randomly combusted after ten minutes of trying to use a Mac, and returned to my normal human form.

Now, I return from my quest of randomness, seeking shelter in The Wiki, which I hath been long inactive in, due to #@~AMNESIA~@#.

In the name of randomness, -- 07:28, 13 November 2008 (EST)

NOTE: I set my gif as my dekstop background, and almost gave myself a seizure...

GUESS WHO'S BACK?
PALKIA IS! :O

Uh, what orb?

Lol! Was it that funny? I lie like that all the time! :P I say; "I need to use my online Math book!" But really I go on chat.

Actually, I've joined the Userpedia Forums under the name "Zero Two." I wish I could join the actual MarioWiki one, but I used Palkia's E-mail to get on Userpedia's in the first place! :O I would...love(?)...to give all of the details there. Trust me, they get much dirtier in detail!

Lol, it was as insane as it probably sounded. Perhaps more. It was about 20 delerious and impatient runners going crazy! Osama was there! In a collared red shirt! :P Whenever the start guys shot his gun, we said Osama killed another innocent bystander.

Really?(mate? :P) I thought it was pathetic. By George! (That's my new saying) I learned an Australian fact! Thanks! :)

Seriously? He did all that? That's really smart! My dog is just dumb. Plain dumb. She barks at the wind, murderously attacked a squirrel once, and bumps into walls on occasion. Now, there's a cat that knows how to listen! (Literally! :P)

No... Maybe.... Lol, well that's not too far off, just two months or so!

Wow, I haven't told a story yet! :O Hermmm..well this one comes very recently, and explains how clumsy some workers can be:

Now this story is 100% true, JSYK. OK, so currently, my school is undergoing rennovations. We have had half of the school demolished in the past 6 months, and the frame of the new 3-story building is nearly finished. But only a few days back was an event that probably scared the crap out of everyone in the 8th Grade Spanish classroom. So, the entire hallway that was once happily (wtf) supporting the room was all "gutted" and is now nonexistent. So very few support systems are left in the room. Temporary beams hold the room from a serious two-story fall. So, the construction was continuing as normal, with the workers swearing and cursing and smoking, when the big crane was brought in to bring up the metal. But the crane operator had a breezy mishap, as the day was cloudy and windy. As he was carefully twisting the beams up the two floors, the wind picked up and BANG! the beams slammed into the room, and, while only denting the wall, sent a hard vibration through the support beams, and shook the room a bit. Now, my older Bro's friend was in their, so there's proof it happened. The class stopped and went into the hall while the damage was inspected, and after the all-clear was given the kids continued their lesson with the thought that they almost died. :O That's all true!

WHAT ORB?

Dear God yes
Ambipom has got to be one of the suckiest pokeymanz on this planet. O_O I should've known this when he stopped learning moves. Srsly. His strongest is Last Resort, which only works when his other sh*tty moves are used up! But Jumpluff is terrible too. I can't make a list, but I can back it up. She's only used as an annoyer, not a killer, making her somewhat lethal in Double Battles. Now do you see why it's good to have a Glalie? And another thing, doesn't it feel good when you hit a poekyman with a double super effective move? I just love it for some reason.

You're welcome, dude. Anyone willing to take time off to make sprites for me deserves credit. Not only were they some of the best sprite recolourings in the galaxy, but they should be the official colours of the pokeymanz. I'm sorry Gyroid X said what he said about teh sprites. Some people don't appreciate sh*t.

Yeah, but I just hate when I hit him with something liek Cross Chop and he still survives. The only way to properly kill him sometimes is to take advantage of his poor Special Defense, and only my Lucario can do that. Fat bastard.....

That dinosaur's ass is mine! *maniacal laughter*

If I'm a meatbag, than I'm a darn good lookin' one. *shifty eyebrows at bypassing girl* But I know you are good looking as well. :D

LOL That's a long word. I'm moar of a phrase guy. Phrase of the week: Shut up, FOO! from the famous and almight Mister Tee.

O_O Cool. My school doesn't have any pokeyman lovers that I know of, which is why I only play my DS on the bus. What kinds of pokemon do you get?
