User talk:Stooben Rooben



Hello Stooby!
Hey Super Paper Mario Bros. told me that I should ask you stuff about Userpedia. So he says I have to get a sysops approval... What is that all about?

Fo-rooms
OK, thanks for the note. Maybe I should give a bit of time watching the forums as many of the technical topics and other things around the wiki take place there...

UP Forums
Please go check your message inbox at the Userpedia forums. It is of high importance. 00:24, 27 September 2009 (EDT)

UP!
Hey Stooby :) I lost my UP password :( What can i do??? --http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/4087/tucayosz9se5.png(talk) The 'Shroom  11:49, 27 September 2009 (EDT)

Re: SMB3
Thank you :3. I think that game really deserves it. Though it is not my favourite game (I actually suck that much at sidescrollers, that I never beat it), it is the very first Mario game I remember, and it was the game that brought me into the Marioverse (and overall videogames), so it's very special to me. I hope I can rewrite some more level summaries, as that gameguidish talk... well, it doesn't suit the game, I think. Well then, for a good collaboration ;3 - 00:39, 29 September 2009 (EDT)

Re:PMTTYD Beta
I did not. However, I didn't look at most of the item textures, which is where I imagine such a thing would be found. Plus, were I a programmer putting three different coin colors into the game, I would use a single texture for all three, and alter the hue in the program. That would make it extremely difficult to find them based on the ROM. Do they have any visual difference aside from color? 15:00, 29 September 2009 (EDT)
 * Well, the Life Shroom and Volt Shroom are purple and gold in PM1, is it just that they have unfinished graphics? Also, I don't think there's a way to do that, although you could probably at least take a screenshot with a video capture card. There shouldn't be any way for the system to detect that. Really I'm surprised they protect their internally released discs more heavily than commercial ones, I mean, if you had this before the "official" version of the game came out, you'd hardly need to hack it to cause damage. 18:10, 29 September 2009 (EDT)
 * By the way, what did these red & blue coins do? Same as in 64? 00:06, 30 September 2009 (EDT)
 * This is sort of out there, but Mario Party 2 had official art of an orange coin, which looked like the 64 coins but was unused. 00:44, 30 September 2009 (EDT)
 * Funny, I felt that way about the final version Two pages?! I'm sort of inclined to think it's simply a bug, since they were blanked, but maybe not. What tool are you planning to hack the game with?  00:54, 30 September 2009 (EDT)
 * Normally, I decompile ROM dumps and then do my best to figure out how the different file formats are encoded. Luckily, PMTTYD uses some fairly standard formats. The text in the ROM is actually Unicode in the original, although the English version uses ANSI (a Microsoft standard O_o) instead. The graphics all seem to be TPL, a standard that's pretty common in Nintendo programs. The model format is unique tho.


 * Obviously, none of that applies to you unless you can make a ROM dump. I found the GameCube Action Replay to be quite difficult to use (the way you have to decrypt and encrypt codes is extremely fail, as it prevents you from testing different values for a single address easily. The purpose of that was originally to prevent end users from creating codes at all, which is even more fail.), so I'm not that familiar with how it works, unfortunately. 01:10, 30 September 2009 (EDT)

Shroom!
Hey Stooby! Well, can you help me in sending out shroom warnings by the 1st or 2nd of october? You can have 1-13 if you like :) --http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/4087/tucayosz9se5.png(talk) The 'Shroom  16:19, 29 September 2009 (EDT)

Whoa! You archieved!
Ha, ha! Thanks, Stooben! See you around, hopefully soon! 16:57, 29 September 2009 (EDT)

USERPEDIA HAS BEEN ATTACKED!
GET ON USERPEDIA. SOMEBODY HAS HACKED TABUU'S ACCOUNT! :( And they NukeDPL'd and murdered many pages, and demoted me. Get on ASAP. 21:26, 4 October 2009 (EDT)
 * forget, they have demoted everybody. UP is gone. For good. 21:35, 4 October 2009 (EDT)
 * SMB: Not exactly, as you can see; The king of a wiki has his ways ;) SR: Thanks for trusting me on UP with the restoring :)
 * No, not that good, I only restored 50 pages...I wonder how many revisions that is...

King Boo
The attacks on that article have become multitudinous now. Wouldn't it be better to protect it, so that this nonsense will end? - 23:16, 5 October 2009 (EDT)
 * Haha, I was in the process of doing that right as you messaged me. Anyway, good call. ;) 23:20, 5 October 2009 (EDT)
 * Coincidences are weird ^^. Anyway, thank you for the protection. - 23:23, 5 October 2009 (EDT)

Birthday
Hey stooby hows it going? Today is my birthday! I turn an unlucky number... Also take away the 1 and I am still an infant, and the number that Mario games usually are. {{User:Booderdash/sig|Birthday mayhem!

 * No problem. I can perfectly understand that ;3. I apologize in case I seem brash. - 23:17, 11 October 2009 (EDT)

"From the Mushroom Vaults Job" is Now Taken

A History of Video Games now taken.
I am here to conquer the job for the 'Shroom. Princess Jigglypuff 23:52, 10 October 2009 (EDT)

Monthy Report Reporter Found
I would like to take the position of the Monthly Report on The 'Shroom. I may be new, but I have been looking at the articles on the Wiki for quite a while now. I think I would be great for the position. Thanks! -User:Mario Galaxy97

Hey dude
Hey St00by. Haven't seen you like 2 hours... (JK, a couple of days) Watcha doing right now? I'm bored and I wanted to do something right now, give me something to do. :o School... tomorrow! :X

Haven't you even looked at my new topic at the staff topic? I need people to gather around for assistance. My secrets will be revealed there if I have enough support. :o

Ah, it's too bad that some other staff members are not responding right now, I sorta have other ideas to bring up problems... instead of posting problems that we would forget in the "Problems" section. I can feel a bunch of staff members missing some of the points. :X Any ideas...

Shroomerton
Well, it would be great if you could update the Shroombox :) oh, and I know it was not my conversation the one up there :P but anyway, I feel we should tell all admins that is strongly recommended they have a forum account, because many decisions are made there.

The 'Shroom
Hi Stooben Rooben, I dicided to sign up for The 'Shroom; I filled in position #8, the User Interview. I'm sure I can handle it, as there are over 10,000 wiki users. Let me know if I'm accepted for the staff, if there are any special rules for this position (ex: method of interviewing), and/or if you need to notify me about anything else. Thanks! http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/dungeon2_sprites/417.png C mario 17

EDIT: By interview method, I meant something like, "Do I need to get e-mail addresses and host the interview off of the wiki?"

Guitar Steward
Hey, since I didn't know, do I need your permission to use the song template on the Guitar Steward page on UP? :S --Zephyr Mage 12:50, 21 October 2009 (EDT)
 * Well, I'm thinking of kinda making my own Guitar Hero game on there. :P --Zephyr Mage 22:18, 24 October 2009 (EDT)

Shroom
P. Trainer here. Just wanted to say, i'm REALLY sorry about not handing in my Shroom section. There was a family tragedy, and I had to go offline for a while. I'm back now, and I'll be sure to get my section in for next month. Thanks,

PipeProject
It's Dry Paratroopa here, asking if I can have an okay on a PipeProject I put up a few weeks ago. I asked for an okay then, but no responce by an authorized person (by authorized, I mean someone kinda high on the ranking list thingy if you know what I mean).
 * You don't really need permission from the higher-ups to create a PipeProject; just people who are willing to work on your project with you. :) 21:14, 28 October 2009 (EDT)

You should add Jimmy T. to your userpage!
'Cuz that's who I think about when I see or hear your name! Rabidchomp 17:47, 29 October 2009 (EDT)

WARRNING WARNING NIGHT
Can you pelase help me send 1-13 :) Thanks -- 11:31, 31 October 2009 (EDT)

I just signed up for the shroom!
Dear Stooben Rooben, I just signed up for the shroom. I will be doing the monthly report i will have my report done and sent to u before november 6! Thank you please reply when you read this message!

Hi just sent the 2nd article the history of video games in a pm!

You are needed!
I just sent you an enormous PM on the forums and I'm not going to repeat the info in public. In a nutshell, I think Maria's about to attack the wiki, chat, forums, UP, and B-K wiki. Well, at least some of those. Please also come on chat to discuss the recent events with the witnesses.

Wayo
As you might know, Wayo retired. As for the awards, he apparently put you in charge, but he also mentioned me. I think the two of us should co-lead. Technically, you would have a few more jobs, but it would be both of us working together. Whaddaya say?


 * Already responded to this in a PM, but sure; sounds good. 17:01, 9 November 2009 (EST)

Shroom
So... can you please update single page and archive? Thansk -- 20:43, 8 November 2009 (EST)
 * Sure thing! I'll do it real late tonight for when the sections are put up tomorrow. =) 16:59, 9 November 2009 (EST)
 * Great! THanks! And i will do some minor changes to the notes i sent you, as well as some polls. -- 17:07, 9 November 2009 (EST)

GRRRR!
I'm go gonna beat you in this COMPETITION! RAWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!! XDDDD
 * HAHAHAAHAHAHAHA no. 23:56, 9 November 2009 (EST)
 * I though a moment about joining in, but it seems like it was wise to do not :3 - 23:58, 9 November 2009 (EST)
 * Lol, it was probably best. I tend to get pretty competitive when somebody steals helps with a project. Just some weird quirk I have. :P 00:00, 10 November 2009 (EST)
 * What competition project are you talking about?
 * Awww man, you'll only talk in your own talk page? D: Anyways, check the Template topic... important... ;o 00:01, 10 November 2009 (EST)
 * Already did that, like, 5 minutes ago. =P 00:07, 10 November 2009 (EST)
 * What competition/project...I'm kinds clueless? Templates? ?_?--
 * Getting rid of templates that don't really apply to our template policy. 00:07, 10 November 2009 (EST)


 * Oh, you mean that silly thing where you turn templates into categories? I've already spoken to SMB about that and I will not partake in it.-- Marioguy1 My talk page (haha, no link for you ) 00:04, 10 November 2009 (EST)
 * What exactly is silly about it? (Why won't you take part in that?) 00:07, 10 November 2009 (EST)
 * It is a race to see who can categorize as many articles meanwhile killing templates. I won't take part because I know how I feel when I make a large spree of edits and then find that someone else has finished them off and I won't do that to whoever started this craze. BTW, what's the whole point of this? Server stress?
 * The purpose is to get some structure and order into the many templates that are lurking here. - 00:11, 10 November 2009 (EST)
 * I may take part since I finished up with Wario: Master of Disguise and Wario Land: Shake It! and have nothing to do Are my edits being noticed... --
 * In that case, I approve! But I still will not take part.-- Marioguy1 My talk page (haha, no link for you ) 00:13, 10 November 2009 (EST)

@MG1: Per Edo. And it didn't originally start out as a race, but RAP and I started butting heads because of the exact reason you mentioned. @Gamefreak: Well, if you find a navigation template that doesn't fit in with the policy, go ahead and take it down. =) 00:15, 10 November 2009 (EST)
