Hey man
Ever been to Advan?

Re: Re: Advan
I'm referring to your character, if you are also King of Malastare, I meant have you ever looked into trading with them, since there are many Dugs who lived there.

Re: Album infobox
I don't really know how to make infoboxes, and Wookieepedia doesn't have one specifically for albums. What they use is Template:Media infobox, which we have here (what I linked to). You can find an example. - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 16:12, May 3, 2011 (UTC)

Signature
Policy dictates that you need a working link to your talk page. Also, using my old talk signature is sort of like impersonation.- I'm the Chosen One You must see it... 22:32, May 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * You still have to link to your talk page and not, which does not exist and does not link to your talk. Using my name for your sig may cause unintended confusion and is against the signature policy, even if it is not meant to cause harm. Your signature must include your name; or a name you are most well-known by.- I'm the Chosen One You must see it... 01:34, May 4, 2011 (UTC)

Wait, are you saying you made a second account? Or a second signature?- I'm the Chosen One You must see it... 01:38, May 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, that was just to know if you were sockpuppetting (unintentionally) or not. I am not quite sure where that falls, but I'd advise keeping that account away from here to avoid its deletion.


 * By the way, I made that Album infobox.- I'm the Chosen One You must see it...

For that very reason. Sockpuppetting occurs when a wiki user makes a second account, for any reason. You are only allowed one account wikia wide.

You unknowingly sockpuppetted by making CHOSEN ONE. Many users make a second account thinking that they have to, or can, make a new one at every wikia. That is not the case. Most of the time, around here, it is dealt with quietly and without consequence because it is not the fault of the user. You aren't in trouble.- I'm the Chosen One You must see it... 01:52, May 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * That is because that account has not edited here. If they edited and were given the User tag, that link would turn blue.- I'm the Chosen One You must see it... 02:16, May 4, 2011 (UTC)

Don't worry, you did nothing wrong. From a Wikia standpoint, you can have as many accounts as you want. It only becomes a local issue if a) you edit on the local wikis that have rules regarding multiple accounts and b) you use that second/third/etc. account on said local wiki. Even if you did use CHOSEN ONE here, all we'd do is block it. - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 04:35, May 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I should have probably stressed that more. Nothing bad would come from it. We used to have problems with sock stuff, but in today's era we recognize that puppets are usually around for reasons other than the sinister. I mainly just started this discussion out of the fact that people may get confused with an extra Chosen One running around with an old signature.- I'm the Chosen One You must see it... 05:06, May 4, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Album Infobox
I'll take a look at it in an hour or so.- I'm the Chosen One You must see it... 20:16, May 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Fixed it. The fields will show.- I'm the Chosen One You must see it... 21:21, May 4, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, no problem.- I'm the Chosen One You must see it...

The clone trooper pics you photoshopped
Hey, hope it's okay if I use some of those clone trooper images of yours on my character pages. If not, just let me know, and I'll remove 'em, okay?--ARC Commander Colt (Talk) 03:47, May 7, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Contributions
Thanks man. I'm glad it's appreciated but you really don't have to personally thank me for it. I'm just trying to do my part in making this wiki as great as it possibly could be. I was sorry to see you leave, and I'm glad you'll still be helping here. I've seen what you've done, and you're helpful too. Thanks again --SavageOpress1138 (Talk) 23:52, May 19, 2011 (UTC)

P.S. You could vote for me for UOTM if you feel I'm worthy enough. But alas, I'm campaigning again. :)

I'm just joking about the UOTM stuff. I really don't care that much. Thanks for telling me. --SavageOpress1138 (Talk) 01:02, May 20, 2011 (UTC)

Left
Regarding my absence on the wiki: "indefinitely" rather refers to an unspecified period of time. I will return if I am going to have enough interest, and, since I cannot specify the date of this, I simply leave it ambiguous. I have mainly been editing on Wookieepedia since March 18 (2,067 edits, LOL), but if it happens to be so, I may resume my activity here. Cheers!--TK-999 18:18, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

Hair question
I recently uploaded an illustrative portrait for Vilos Cohaagen. However, I cannot decide on the hair color: gray or silver? I decided to ask you to clarify; the image of good ol' Ronny Cox Cohaagen can be found here.&mdash; TK-999  ( Rise of the Empire ) 19:40, June 26, 2011 (UTC)

Acrolian Star Empire
Not a big deal or anything, but in your list of articles you say:Acrolian Star Empire- Nominated for Featured Article status! Technically, it was removed. Again, not trying to be picky, just pointing it out.-- SavageOpress1138  Help you I can, yes 00:13, June 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * It doesn't really matter, if you don't care. I just happened to notice it and wasn't sure if you had.  You can do as you like.  Thanks-- SavageOpress1138  Help you I can, yes  00:22, June 27, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Member since...tomorrow?
It's a known bug that should be fixed soon. Just to clarify the "tomorrow" part, it's using universal time (UTC), so it's already June 27th in that time zone. - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 01:00, June 27, 2011 (UTC)

Re: The Chosen One
Glad you liked it! The upcoming version is (I hope) a big improvement over what you read. Someone recently said to me upon getting a sneak peak at the first few chapters, "You used to write by just stating facts. You'd say what's going on without much emotion. Now in the new one you're like, THE DESERT OF TATOOINE WILL F*** YOU UP." Lol, so hopefully I convey things better this time. Was there anything in particular you really liked that you definitely want to see retained in the new version? Alternatively (no pun intended), is there also anything you really didn't like and you definitely don't want to see retained in the new version? - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 02:28, July 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Stealing Brandon's thunder again. :P Utapau was the original name of Naboo and Tatooine.- I'm the Chosen One You must see it... 02:48, July 4, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, Chapter 12 (the one with the prophecy revelation) was a tricky one in both drafts. It was very talkative and it's something I'm spacing out more this next time around. It was meant to illustrate something with Sarus' character, in that he was just throwing prophecies at everyone and they were growing tired of it, but it wasn't meant to make the reader grow tired of it either. That's one of the reasons I'm spacing it out more. Just curious, though, you said towards the end you felt that same way. Which part?

I liked Owen's characterization too and that's something that will definitely remain, though with some added parts to it, i.e. better reasons for why he's on edge than JUST "my girlfriend left me."

In regards to Utapau, which I hope was obviously just a new name for Naboo, I did that as a throwback to previous drafts of the canon films. Utapau was an original name for Tatooine in the original Star Wars. When George Lucas began writing The Phantom Menace, he originally had Utapau as the name of the planet instead of Naboo. I ended up going with Utapau like he had planned to, so it has no connection to the canon sinkhole planet or the individuals living on it. Lucas ended up using the name Utapau for Revenge of the Sith basically because it was his last chance to use it.

And finally, about the new Jar Jar, I'm glad you liked that. I definitely tried to take out the suck, lol. - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 02:54, July 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Tatooine will be much darker in the new version too, with a lot of despair and hopelessness. Funny thing about the podrace, in the original TCO draft I included a swoop race, only one where Annikin has to race against his rival Sebulba. I had planned on including that in the version you read. They would've had the race, but Bib Fortuna would've refused to let Annikin go despite his win, which would've then prompted Sarus to do the raid on the fortress. As I was getting ready to move into the swoop race section, though, I felt that there was no way Annikin would accept Sarus' offer for the swoop race. Doing so would've been completely out of character. Sarus hadn't completely crossed the line at that point, but Annikin still didn't like or trust him. So the swoop race became plan A and the fortress raid became plan B, so when Annikin refused the former Sarus opted for the latter. - Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg (talk) 03:09, July 4, 2011 (UTC)

There would've been one more chapter after that one, which would've concluded Part 1 of the book, and then there would've been 2 more parts. Ultimately, with planned revisions and ultimately a complete rewrite and reworking of the story, Chapter 17 was never released. Parts were written, but never the completed chapter. So when I start to release again, it'll be the new, definitive, final, etc. version of the book. I'll have a blog post up soon detailing quite a bit about the novel to give everyone a teaser. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 03:15, July 4, 2011 (UTC)

Apology

 * Sebolto, allow me to apologize for my words in IRC. I came across as brusque and rude and insulting, and I'm sorry. My disagreements and questioning of your project should not have stooped to such levels and I regret what I said. Good luck with your ventures.

Ok, so it was a very weak argument. But I have practically no experience with computers, and bureaucratic language flies way over my head, only after making it ache. I mean, seriously, why all these policies and info boxes? The info boxes don't even use full words! Hideh? What's that supposed to be? It's enough to make a guy give up. Sounds like a good idea. I really thought this wiki was better than Wookieepedia but I was wrong.Gnost-Dural | Hands off the holocrons, THEY'RE MINE!! 20:21, July 17, 2011 (UTC)

Rules
I have neither time nor intellectual level nor enough understanding of legal-ese to learn any more rules than this one: Thou shalt not say a word unless thou art an administrator, then thou shalt not have difficulty. Besides, i'm not trying to hurt anyone, i'm trying to help EVERYONE.Gnost-Dural | Hands off the holocrons, THEY'RE MINE!! 20:30, July 17, 2011 (UTC)

1) CONGRATULATIONS! you've won awards. Must be nice to be talented enough. 2) I understand why rules exist. And a (possibly undesired) side-effect is that they drive people like me (not you, of course. people like you can adapt, can learn to cope, etc. etc. etc.) off. So... -hands sebolto a piece of paper- consider my resignation effective immediately. Here's my reasons why:
 * 1) I am not talented enough to get anywhere in this wiki. Futterbly? Jedi's Digest? Seriously?
 * 2) I am not well-versed enough in legal-ese, computer-speak, etc. etc. etc. to get anywhere in this wiki.
 * 3) I am not interested enough in the made-up works of others to bother even reading. I'll go to Wookieepedia for canonical subjects.
 * 4) And last but not least: What's the point? To get a few extra infoboxes to put on my page (most likely muffed up by yours truly)? And by the by, Gnost-Dural is all one word.Gnost-Dural | Hands off the holocrons, THEY'RE MINE!! 20:39, July 17, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks
How am I selfish? I'm quitting. Selfish people would be trying for administrator. I'm not selfish, I just know when I'm licked. And thanks anyways, but there will be no future ventures on this wiki for me, and most likely not any other wiki, either.Gnost-Dural | Hands off the holocrons, THEY'RE MINE!! 20:43, July 17, 2011 (UTC)
