User talk:The RPG Gamer/Archive 4

 I have some rules on my talk page as listed below:

Everything else is completely acceptable so message me anything you want.
 * 1) Don't go replacing content with a negative message like: I HATE YOU!
 * 2) If you're sending a friend request you must also put the reason of why we should be friends because you should only really talk to me about wiki-related matters.
 * 3) All new messages must go at the bottom of the page, you can do this by pressing the + icon next to the edit icon.
 * 4) Don't blank my talk page.
 * 5) Don't Spam. (That's obvious)
 * 6) Unless you know me in person (which is unlikely) don't wish me a Happy Birthday or Merry Christmas (but feel free to do so on the forums).
 * 7) Don't make conclusive spelling errors on my talk page.
 * 8) Don't put false block or warning templates on my talk page.
 * 9) Only talk to me about wiki-related stuff or other cool stuff if you talk to me about junk or weird stuff I'm not a fan of or otherwise have no opinion on it, I won't respond.
 * 10) Please paragraph you sentences I don't like them right next to my messages and it gets really boring having to do it myself.
 * 11) Once THIS talkpage reaches 40 sections, don't edit it I'll archive it others may vary though.
 * Also one more thing, I will normally answer questions here but if it is urgent I will answer them on your talk page.

Unfeaturing articles
While I appreciate the support vote for Shadow Mario, you need to include a reason as to why you're supporting it. Unlike regular nominations, where no support reason is necessary, denominations require you to include a valid reason. A simple "per proposer" is fine, but make sure to keep that in mind. 14:31, 23 August 2016 (EDT)
 * Added a reason, thanks for the heads up. 16:09, 23 August 2016 (EDT)

re:video link
it deep links to a character saying "fuck no". that's the meaning. --Glowsquid (talk) 23:23, 24 August 2016 (EDT)

Sticker Star & Color Splash's genres
They are not role-playing games. Here are the features of an RPG, taken from the Wikipedia article about it:


 * Story and setting: The story and world are important elements of the game.


 * Exploration and quests: You talk to NPCs, solve their requests, get things in return that make the game easier for you, etc.


 * Items and inventory: You have items and/or gear that you use to be stronger, heal, defeat enemies...


 * Character actions and abilities: Each character has a distinct class of abilities that give them different characteristics in the field and/or in battle and/or in sidequests.


 * Experience and levels: Fighting gives you experience points which let you level up.


 * Combat: There is a distinction between field action and battle action.


 * Interface and graphics: You must go through menus to attack, heal, etc.

Paper Mario 1 and 2 follow all of these characteristics. Super Paper Mario, being a platformer RPG, lacks the "combat" and "interface" parts but gets everything else right. Sticker Star only has the "inventory" part (because everything is a 1-use item) and the "combat" part (turn-based battles). As such, it is an action-adventure game with RPG elements, not a RPG. Color Splash is not a RPG for the same reasons. Koopalmier (talk) 05:03, 25 August 2016 (EDT)

Sup
I love Fawful. I can't believe they literally abandoned him in the new M&L games. Actually, I lost all interest in Dream Team specifically because Fawful isn't in it, haha! I mean, really, he's the best character.


 * I totally agree. 16:02, 26 August 2016 (EDT)

Box arts
Hello, regards of what i said, there's no need for more than one box art on the infobox unless it relevant and especially would cause a unnecessary expansion on the infobox. For example the Mario Strikers Charged two box art cause of regional differences.


 * Okay thanks I will be sure to remember that. 02:08, 28 August 2016 (EDT)

RE: Block a user
I would have, but I logged off immediately after reverting and didn't see it.
 * Okay thanks. 05:18, 29 August 2016 (EDT)

RE:RE:Laddie
First of all, pulling info from another wiki doesn't exactly qualify as a good source of info. Second, the info on the Paper Mario Wikia is wrong anyway, as the coding for the pixel shows that it was originally meant to use Mario's "flip" power, but was cut when Mario gained that power himself. Is there anything in the E3 trailer that shows his name? 12:08, 29 August 2016 (EDT)
 * That's... not exactly good info. Looking around, various sources say that, while it sure looks like a ladder, that doesn't appear to be the case. Most say it was supposed to use now-Mario's flipping ability while others say it's an early version of Carrie. The only place I've heard the name "Laddie" is from you and that Paper Mario wiki, who's page is unsourced.
 * There really is no true way of knowing what the pixel did (though it's coding refers to the flip ability) or what's it's name is/was. For right now, everything mentioned is unofficial and are just rumors.
 * Also, you forgot to sign your comment on my page :P 15:57, 29 August 2016 (EDT)

Your subpage
Hello Fawful's Minion. The admins have agreed that your subpage User:Fawful's Minion/Note is not permitted and should be deleted. Users should not be creating custom reminder templates to post on user's talk pages. In future, please individually write each reminder message you issue. I will replace your template with the message's contents on the two user talk pages it's being used on.

Thanks,

Re:Japanese name redirect
There's an English source for the Maneki-Neko Mario name here, so it made sense adding the redirect. LinkTheLefty (talk) 01:50, 31 August 2016 (EDT)

re:Sorry
It's fine you apologized, but the staff has noticed you have a bad habit of giving official warnings when a simple message would've sufficed. Warnings are for major offenses and when someone does repeadetly does something after being told to knock it off. If you can conceivably tell someone "Hey, did you know you have to put the source in the article itself? Here's how you do it...", it's a much better to just leave a message without ressorting to the use of warning templates first.

It's great you want to help, but I recommend looking into contributing in more substantial and less negative ways. --Glowsquid (talk) 09:16, 3 September 2016 (EDT)

Sure, here's mine:

Hello!
Hello! How's it going? Say, do you have anything to say about this? Looking forward to your response :) -- 20:10, 4 September 2016 (EDT)
 * re your respond on Tucayo's talk: That's all fine and dandy but then why does your userpage says "Fawful's Minion, The Same one from YouTube", you claim to have the same real name as the youtuber in question and outright claimed to be him on the forum? --Glowsquid (talk) 21:09, 4 September 2016 (EDT)

RE: Interview
I suggest look for her on the social media and contact her; if she would agree.

Comment
May want to fix your comment on YoshiKong's page. Something happened... 20:43, 6 October 2016 (EDT)

I'm sorry
It was just an accident ****

RE:Cherbil
My main gripe is that it's unsourced. I don't mind so much what it looks like (however inappropriate it may be), but it's unconfirmed that the Cherbil was based off of a butt. One can also assume that its name is based on "gerbil". You get it? I'm not saying the info is wrong, just unsourced and speculative. 15:47, 7 October 2016 (EDT)

Image Category Reminder
Your Paper Mario: Color Splash images were lacking Category:Paper Mario: Color Splash Images. -- 01:17, 8 October 2016 (EDT)

Superstar Saga enemy POW
Hi! Kinda curious how exactly you obtained the enemies' POW stats from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, especially if they're not listed in the Nintendo Power Player's Guide. Did you use Yoshi Magic to obtain them? --
 * Yes I did, also I think I heard the Nintendo Power guide only lists HP. 18:10, 8 October 2016 (EDT)
 * Okay, but where exactly did you find the POW variables in Yoshi Magic? If you found them in the enemy attacks section, some enemies have more than one attack with different values. Do you plan to just leave only one value in the bestiary? If you look though the edit history, there was a reason why I removed the POW stats. --

RE: A question
No, unless the reverter (or the person uploading to a personal image file page that doesn't belong to them) has permission. -- 15:06, 9 October 2016 (EDT)

Personal Images
The image was being used in articles long before it became your personal image. There is nothing that prevents use from personally using said image, but claiming it as your own and reverting it to a severely inferior version is unacceptable. If you want a personal image, use the one you uploaded. 16:00, 9 October 2016 (EDT)
 * Again, you cannot claim an image that already existed on the wiki as your own and prevent others from modifying it, especially when you've been attempting to replace a high-quality image with a low-quality image. Work around that however you like, but you don't get to worsen articles just because you think an image looks neat. 16:07, 9 October 2016 (EDT)

Color Splotch
Yes, because I have to wait longer for Mario Party Star Rush textures to be released since it's overshadowed by this stain of a game. 18:20, 9 October 2016 (EDT)

Re: Spelling mistake
Okay, thanks for pointing that out. But honestly a minor mistake like that isn't a big thing to worry about, and I don't really encourage you to inform users about spelling mistakes in their comments. Additionally, remember that you are not allowed to correct other people's comments anyway, it's not a matter of being rude.

Forum talk NOT
Uhh, That wasn't forum talk, I was asking how that was a dream by Luigi, The game doesn't say it was a dream, Antasma just appears, and secon I don't know how to use forums. But I was talking about where's the proof that the battle was a dream, which none is include but the article says it was a dream.Pikmin theories (talk) 14:34, 12 October 2016 (EDT)

Oooops...
Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks for telling me. -- 18:58, 13 October 2016 (EDT)

Bowser's Inside Story
Hi Fawful's Minion The RPG Gamer, nice to see you back! I'd like to ask if you know about how the enemies drop items in Bowser's Inside Story. Do the bosses always drop the same set of items? Or do they always drop the accessories but leave the healing items randomly? And what about the ordinary but unskippable enemies such as the fake Toads "guarding" the Dark Star? I'm currently compiling an item list by location for this game as I did for Partners in Time and need help regarding to whether to include enemy items. Thanks. — 01:39, 14 October 2016 (EDT)
 * Looks like you have a good memory :) There is this section Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story that's under construction. Do you happen to know the pause-menu description of the Puzzle Sacks? I'm also wondering whether the Hammers from the Trash Pit and the blue, red, and green keys in Peach's Castle count as key items for this purpose. Do they appear in the pause menu, too? —21:38, 15 October 2016 (EDT)

Question
Yoshi the SSM tells me that you might know how to move one image behind another without completely hiding the back image with whitespace. I need this image moved behind this one. 15:11, 14 October 2016 (EDT)
 * I don't think that's possible sorry although if it is then no I don't know. 15:20, 14 October 2016 (EDT)

Userbox
Can I use your "I am a Christian." userbox? -- 17:13, 15 October 2016 (EDT)
 * Sure. :) 17:16, 15 October 2016 (EDT)
 * Thanks! -- 17:18, 15 October 2016 (EDT)

RE: Chatroom Question
All you gotta do is type in "/nick" without the quotations before whatever you want your new nick to be. Just try to keep it within reason so you're still identifiable and that you don't keep changing it constantly. 23:48, 19 October 2016 (EDT)

Subject Headline Question

 * It's mostly something that I've done to separate my conversations from other subjects that may pop up. Times can change, however, and I've only really done this at user talk pages. 08:29, 21 October 2016 (EDT)

Re:How did I know
has been extensively editing MarioWiki in 2009-2011, so I've known his editing style and voting style quite a bit. He votes in proposals by saying "I like this idea! Per all!" without meaningful inputs, the exact same thing is doing. Redddragon also sockpuppeted during his block as well, so it also throws further light that AfternoonLight is a sock of Burningdragon who is in turn a sock of Reddragon. The only reason I haven't done anything sooner mostly because the vast majority of his edits aren't bad and were made in good faith; I mean usually when people sockpuppet, it's to evade bans and break more rules and cause more disturbances. 21:34, 21 October 2016 (EDT)

Welcome Questions

 * 1) Does one have to be staff to welcome a new user with the template?
 * 2) Does the new user have to make at least one edit before they are welcomed? -- 15:14, 22 October 2016 (EDT)
 * The first question is no and the second one is yes go ahead feel free to welcome any new user as long as they've done at least one constructive edit and if they haven't been welcome yet feel free to but if they're very old accounts, it's best you don't. For more information see here. 15:24, 22 October 2016 (EDT)
 * Ok, thanks! -- 15:51, 22 October 2016 (EDT)
 * Your welcome. :) 16:03, 22 October 2016 (EDT)

None at all. 21:59, 22 October 2016 (EDT)

"Toad Towns"
I see you went and added all those unconfirmed town areas to the Toad Town article, but do you have some concrete proof that they are Toad Town in those games? And by concrete proof, I mean sources like official guides. If you've got nothing, then in my opinion it should be undone. SmokedChili (Talk) (Thoughts) 18:44, 24 October 2016 (EDT)
