Re:New Characters
Hahahaha, yep. I want my characters completely worked out and in really good shape when the new timeline on a certain website comes around, though I'll likely avoid giving them titles or ranks and whatnot until I know more of the specifics.

Darkon and Dawnbreaker
Hello, it's me again. Remember how I said a while back that one of the authors of Dawnbreaker was threatening to destroy all of our articles? Well, he's trying to do it now. This is what he said: "THAT'S IT! LAST STRAW! I'm out of the project, I'm withdrawing my characters and my story posts, I'm finishing the story on my own, and I'll destroy your articles on FANON!" Can you please do something? I've backed up all of our main articles on text documents, but he'll keep messing them up, no matter how many times I fix it. Here is his user page: http://swfanon.wikia.com/wiki/User:TrueSith%27ari Garyn Dakari (Talk) 02:26, June 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * Brandon, take it from me, you want this guy (TrueSith'ari A.K.A. Lord Darkon) banned for good. Besides vandalism, he's also threatened pyshical violence, saying "It's a good thing your only screen names." He's also a Satanist and a Nazi. He believes everything is a Jewish consiricy. Besides that, he's a pirate (as in pirated softwear), an egotistical madman, and a downright loser. (He may even be a hacker for all we know.)

Copy-paste
Hi Brandon! I recently did some copyright fixing by adding the templates to the talk pages. However, I am troubled by this article, which seems to be a direct copy-paste from this Wookieepedia article. I don't know whether it would be appropriate to just add Wookieepedia to the talk page or do something else. Thanks in advance.&mdash; TK-999  ( Rise of the Empire ) 17:00, June 14, 2011 (UTC)

RE:Imperial-Alliance skirmishes
There was a few instances of skirmishes being mentioned in the write up, unless I just interpreted it wrong. It said something about conflicts during Alliance-Imperial peace period being merely "brush fires" compared to what was coming (the Sith take over). If you want, I can stop developing it until the think tank comes out with official info. I'm just coming up with background info for my character to pass the time. --- Ten Tailed Fox 23:24, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, that and the chronology factor are what led to my incorrect assumption about the New Jedi Council category.

New here
Hi, I'm not realy sure how this all works, I did hear you can be banned, and I don't want that happening. So is there a set of rules I can look at, especially one on how to make short stories.

(Froggert (Talk) 23:06, July 2, 2011 (UTC))

The Chosen One
Hey, with all the hype that I've been hearing regarding your novel, The Chosen One, I decided to read the most recent edition. I must admit, Brandon, you are a truly gifted author. It kept me unable to do anything but read for several hours. Though I will admit, you have a strange love for the verb "rape." You used it six times, and yes, I counted. :P  King of the Dugs  (Blab with me) 02:17, July 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * I will admit, (and it's not that I particularly disliked it or wanted it removed) the fact that so many prophesies are made mention of by Sarus without pause really started to tire me out as a reader. I don't know if that was the intent, by having the reader sympathize with Annikin's eventual annoyance with all the prophesies concerning his destiny, but towards the end of the novel, I really started to feel the same tiresome feeling. I can understand if that was the intent, as a rhetorical tool, and if so, I liked the idea.

Also, I really liked how Owen's character progressed throughout the novel, and how he finally stopped pushing everyone he should have cared about away.

One question though, and I'm sure it's one you've been asked before; why Utapau? The planet's name itself is a mixture of the names of the species who, in canon, reside on it, neither of whom are mentioned in The Chosen One. Just curious. Overall, great read, and I look forward to the new edition.  King of the Dugs  (Blab with me) 02:39, July 4, 2011 (UTC) Also, moving from Mos Espa to Anchorhead, ignoring the podrace, and having Jabba the Hutt at the center of the town was great. Really reminded me of medieval feudalism, with the arrogant lord at the center of the small, sad town of peasants. Really made for a darker Tatooine. But apart from that, I really enjoyed it. It has given me some food for thought regarding my own fanon.  King of the Dugs  (Blab with me) 02:59, July 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh and I loved the way you recreated Jar Jar Bink's character. Far better this way. :)  King of the Dugs  (Blab with me) 02:48, July 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * I was basically referencing Chapter 12, and the following Temple of Desire part (Chapter 13?). It just felt somewhat tiresome. Good to hear you have that worked out.


 * Yes, I'm glad you did that. It really made for an exciting finale for the novel. I assume there will be more (one day)?  King of the Dugs  (Blab with me) 03:11, July 4, 2011 (UTC)

You mention the unfinished chapter...you wouldn't happen to have been like Lucas and kept it, would you? :P It would be interesting to see the exact difference between that and the new thing. Like special features on a movie. Although it wouldn't really matter since it was uncompleted and not up to your specifications. - I'm the Chosen One You must see it... 05:06, July 4, 2011 (UTC)

Wiki Questions
Hey Bac,

I had a quick question about formatting a wiki. Seeing as you created the Alternative Saga Wiki, I thought the question was right for you. How do you adjust the page transparency (Default Wiki Skin) and how do you create a background for the Monobook skin? The page when viewed through the Default skin looks fine, but it's all messed up when viewed through the Monobook skin. Suggestions? Thanks,  Seb  olto  18:34, July 13, 2011 (UTC)

Question- Redirects
If I come across a redirect that leads to another page, can I use the Redirect page and make it into my own article? For example, Kane redirects to User:JA 394/Kane).

Wow
Wow, I never even saw that. I have a lot more respect for you now, to be honest. When you said "a select group of users who basically controlled the wiki would often create knee jerk, reactionary policies in order to deal with something they didn’t like," you were right on. You went on to list the YouTube video policy, and unfortunately, I was the one who proposed that, and I must agree it was unnecessary. I'm extremely happy to see that, I thought this place was the same it used to be, where a select group of users controlled the site (of course I am not talking about administrators, I think I everyone can agree that position is necessary and the users who get those privileges should be elected). I am considering becoming active again, but it really isn't the same without Troyb here. I mean, I am a lot older than back in '07 and '08 when I was extremely active, but I still want to collaborate with him. I'll be off and on for a while and see if he comes back.&mdash;Darthtyler (Talk) 17:45, July 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * I really do understand your point of view. I still to this day, however, find "criticism" like MPK's entire page devoted to "critiquing" fan creations to be over the top in terms of reviewing an article. I have matured quite a bit, I definitely won't be continuing that ridiculous Darth Tyler series, although it was fun in the past. I really do understand criticism, and its use, but I hate it when people just flat out destroy an article and then, when the author reacts, call them immature because they can't accept criticism. And while I may agree with you that reactionary policies may have been important to get to where the site is now (I was not there to see the progress, I stopped being extremely active in '08 or '09), I will say that the "elites" as I put it were unnecessary, even if there was the problem of friends voting for friends, like Troyb and I did occasionally. I think creating a bunch of different groups such as the Cabal, the Decreton Lords, etc, was the wrong way to handle that situation. Every time, it was the same group of people, and it became quite obvious to me where that left the users like Troyb and I, etc, but I'm very glad to see where the site is now. Anyway, I edited one of my old articles a bit, so it looks to me as if I'm being pulled back into this site again. I'm probably going to come back on tomorrow, and the day after that, and before I know it I'll be active again.&mdash;Darthtyler (Talk) 01:24, July 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * Gah, I forgot what the Cabal was, I just remember it being something that you guys were naming for something. My fault. Anyway, I really don't feel like typing any more paragraphs, I'm just glad that I've gotten a warm welcome from the most powerful person on this site (I think). And the image I just uploaded was just because I felt like it, don't worry I'm not going to restart that series again. So anyway, thanks for the welcome.&mdash;Darthtyler (Talk) 02:30, July 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * I know our conversation has ended, but I just wanted to clarify I like MPk's reviews. They are funny. I just find it over yhe top a bit. Sorry for bothering.&mdash;Darthtyler (Talk) 05:41, July 22, 2011 (UTC)

Re:QotW
Yeah, fine, then someone will change it even though the quote will be from a fanwork segment. It is better to allow someone to change it themselves rather than assuming they meant it another way. Kind of like the way people choose to change planet names or species names to their liking. Perhaps they meant to spell it battallion, we don't know unless they tell us.

Hey, Gnost-Dural reported a problem to me. I haven't seen this, nor do I know how to resolve it, so I pasted a copy of his comment from my talk below.
 * "I'm not entirely sure where to bring this up, so I thought I'd start here. I have encountered many errors on this website in regards to the background (You know, the Coruscant skyline to either side?) The white that goes over this that the text is displayed on disappears. It often happens when I scroll to the bottom of the page far enough that my toolbar stops following, and won't revert to normal when I scroll up. Also, the story Through Her Eyes is also acting up. Even at the top of the page, this problem occurs. Like I said, I don't know where to bring this up so I thought I'd start here."

The ability to speak does not make you intelligent.  01:17, July 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * Not the answer I was looking for, but it's still valid. You also expounded, saying what he trained him for. His original master was the Hysalrian Jedi N'kata Del Gormo. You've earned the userboxes I haz win! and I haz MORE win!!! Enjoy! The Wise One.  The ability to speak does not make you intelligent.  12:32, July 30, 2011 (UTC)

Year categories
Hey, a number of my category edits to year articles were reverted and I was summarily warned. I do not see how adding a Canon era to a year page that contains only a fanon year era category redundant or bad. Also, about half of those years I saw within that timeline still had the category I was adding onto other year pages. I don't get the philosophy of switching out a canon era because someone made a fanon replacement, especially since it does not apply to other canon eras and that particular fanon era doesn't apply to anyone but the author. Could you enlighten me?- I'm the Chosen One  20:45, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

The Alan Parsons Project

 * ULTRA-SUPER XXXXTREME UPDATE: As of this posting, the Alan Parsons Project is officially at a go. Each of you should soon receive an e-mail containing the outlines of your assigned chapters, along with some guidelines. Good writing, everyone, and thanks for joining the team. -MPK, Free Man  22:03, August 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * Since Goodwood just e-mailed me back with some confusion, I'd like to clear something up in case anyone else is also confused. Contained within the attachment in each e-mail are two documents (I will explain), each in the name "Fragment, Chapter XX". Both files are identical in the first section (containing the guidelines and suggested reading material as mentioned in the e-mail). Past that first section, there is an outline for the chapter which the file is for; however, the file probably also contains some fragments of other chapter outlines. This is deliberate. The purpose of the incomplete pieces is to give some limited "context" as for what is going on elsewhere in the story. You are only assigned to write the chapters which correspond to the names of the two files.
 * Thus, if the two files you get are "Fragment, Chapter 5" and "Fragment, Chapter 9", then you write Chapter 5 using the information on Chapter 5 from its file, and you do the same for Chapter 9. Any and all information that belongs to chapters you are not assigned to, and which you find in the two files you received, is just there; you may use it to get some you context, but you can also (if the information is from a previous chapter) refer back to those events or (if it's for a later chapter) write some foreshadowing. The reason I decided to do this (admittedly silly in hindsight) thing hails from the story that inspired this project, Atlanta Nights. AN which was a deliberately awful collaborative novel written by various authors, who all wrote their chapters without being given enough information on what happened elsewhere to possibly allow coherence between chapters.
 * I apologize for any and all confusing confusion; the reason there are two files is that I made each chapter file separate from each other, assigned the chapters more-or-less randomly, and then rather than combining them, just gave everyone their two files. I hope that this clears it all up. -MPK, Free Man  14:39, August 7, 2011 (UTC)

Images
Hi! You may have noticed my tagging images as being without source and/or license. Well, I'm done! I've gone through all the images. It felt like 4 evar. o.o Anyhoo! Now I eventually want to delete the offending images, but I feel it isn't fair to do so without notifying the public at large that a couple hundred images are about to be disintigrated, kinda give them a heads-up about it. Should I create a forum giving them a week or something to do so? Should it include and notification thingy? I don't know... Despite the fact that I am, in fact, quite deletion-happy I don't think it would be fair to delete them ATM. So...I was wanting your advice. AND YOU DON'T HAVE THE DECENCY TO BE ON IRC. i hate u. - Solus Talk to the Hand  01:28, August 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * lol, have a connection to old images, do you? :p And what's wrong with destruction? But seriously, I feel sorry for you going through those images. If I can't delete them, I can join you in the hunt for sources. Just not right now because I don't feel like looking at a bunch of images any more today. :p - Solus Talk to the Hand  01:45, August 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * So you don't want to get rid of images uploaded by people years ago who thus not only would not know, but probably would not care? Besides, there are some awful images out there that no-one will miss. Why is this a loss again? Not to mention all the duplicate images. There are a lot of them, BTW. I didn't keep track of them because I was busy tagging images for other things. Plus, if it doesn't matter if we source images or not, why do we require it? In short, I honestly don't think a lot of these images deserve the effort to source them. It's often an honest mistake - they thought it was okay to source it the way they did. That's fine - I've done it. I've tagged quite a few of my own images. But I didn't care if they were deleted because I didn't care about them any more. I don't know how many people feel the same way about some of their older images or if some of the old images no one cares about at all. In essence, we'd be putting more effort into some of these images than the authors would want to. If the authors and uploaders don't care if they're deleted or whatever, I really don't care enough to source them. It's the uploader's responsibility to source them (you just said so) so why are we doing it? I was just trying to clean up the wiki and make it more official, otherwise I wouldn't spend HOURS going through THOUSANDS of images to tag them. I thought I was helping. It just feels like no one cares that a big job has been done that, obviously, no one wanted to do. I was just trying to help and be a good admin. If I wasn't supposed to do all that work, I just wish someone had told me. - Solus Talk to the Hand  02:08, August 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * I was expecting a long post. You've almost copyrighted it. :p I understand where you're coming from with your points. I'm still kinda depressed that I apparently wasted my time, though. I noticed you didn't address that part, possibly in an effort to skirt around it. So yeah. I'm depressed and kinda mad that I wasn't told earlier that what I did was useless. - Solus Talk to the Hand  02:59, August 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh! Sorry. Didn't see that part. ^-^; Okay. I'm glad that what I did was useful - I wanted to be useful. I think I get it a little better. And, yeah, a lot of them were us not doing the job we should have done. When the policy was first really enforced, pretty much from 2009-mid2010, (I was finding the images via the New Images thingy, so I was going by years - I'd try to do a year a day), there were almost no unsourced or unlicensed images. I'd find, like, 20 all year. Before the policy, like, you and a handful of other people sourced, but fewer and fewer did until the end. After mid-2010, however, it got just as bad as before the policy, and lately it's been really bad - no summary box, no license, no source for a surprising number of images. That's our fault, and I was trying to rectify that by tagging them and bringing it to people's attention. - Solus Talk to the Hand  03:48, August 8, 2011 (UTC)

Link question
I need help. On the Force Shape Shift article, I tried linking to the Wikipedia article on Spirited Away, and it came up with Spirited Away. It looked awkward, so I tried [Spirited Away].

Re: Typo
It's funny you say that, because I looking back at my comment I guessed you might. The reason I said that was because I wasn't sure if it was a typo or not, as you have much more experience here and usually don't make typos. But, as no one is perfect, I decided to assume it was accidental and change it. The comment was mostly a disclaimer if it turned out to not be a typo. :)  Savage  1138  20:32, September 9, 2011 (UTC)

Questions
First: What's with, and when did you get, the new user avatar? Second, and more importantly: "This new feature will be going live for early testing mode to a few select wikis next week." - The blog about the Message Wall. Seeing as you a staff member and such, is SWF one of the select wikis? Thanks  Savage  1138  21:27, September 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Can't you see? It is contradiction humor. He says he is not a witch, but has a witch avatar. lollers follow.

Am I right, or am I right, Brandon?- I'm the Chosen One  21:34, September 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * I think that the Good Witch of the South would suit you better. You're always like "Come out, Come out, wherever you are, and vote in my CT, which fell from a star." But, I digress. I felt pretty sure we weren't, but as SWF has tested things in the past, I just wanted to make sure. Thanks  Savage  1138  00:45, September 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * I thought SWF had done some other testing in the past, but I have been wrong once or twice before. :)  Savage  1138  01:15, September 28, 2011 (UTC)
