The Darkness of Phydah
Hey Vic, just caught your video's on YouTube, as a film man myself I'd like to congratulate you on some wonderful camera work, and a well choreographed fight scene. There is of course one thing that stands out to me as "unfinished" with the project, and that's the sabers, I understand that it is hard to come by "authentic" props, trust me I've tried. I would however like to offer, I do post-production work on my own films and could throw in a set of digital blades to the second film. It wouldn't take too incredibly long as the fight scene is not the longest, but I feel it would cause the end product to look much better in the overall scope of things. I leave the decision to you, just let me know.  N.Y.N.E. Comlink 02:54, 1 July 2009 (UTC)


 * That would be great. You would be credited and everything. Only thing is I'd upload it as a separate video to keep the original upload date of the 2nd episode in tact. :) Other problem, is how are you going to get the video? Downloading it, I think, will greatly reduce the already low-quality (thanks a lot, YouTube). Either way, thanks for your praise. –Victor Squishy Vic.png (talk page ) 02:56, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Well if you still have the original you can upload it somewhere like fileshare or megaupload and I can get it from there do the work and then get it back to you, and then you can upload to youtube however you'd prefer, with the length it shouldn't take more than a week or two to do all the editing and remastering the final copy.

 * In that case, it'll have to wait awhile. I don't have the original file on hand. –Victor Squishy Vic.png (talk page ) 04:58, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes it would work best with the highest quality version available, because the faster the swings the harder it is to see the blade from by frame in a lower quality video. I can always work with it and put the blade in in the most obvious position when I can't find it, but it would come out with the best look if it were done in a high quality video.  So whenever you can get a hold of it just drop me a line on my talk page and we'll work from there  N.Y.N.E. Comlink[[Image:era-inf.png|30px]] 00:03, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Congrats Mr, User of the Month
Here's to our three-time champion, may this month forever be known as Squishy Vic's month! At least until next year. Congrats any who.-- Josh Bender Talk 09:07, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

MS Word question
What font and size do you use? I'm using 12 pt Times New Roman, as my schools have shoved that down my throat, but what do you use extensively? Is it just 10 pt Aerial?-- Josh Bender Talk 19:53, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * For what exactly? I don't use MS Word, though, I use Apple Pages. Still, I can answer your question, but do you mean for eBooks or prepping articles or monobook skin or what? –Victor Squishy Vic.png (talk page ) 19:56, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * eBooks, specifically. Apple Pages isn't any different from MS Word is it?-- Josh Bender Talk 20:18, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * It is, but not when it comes to fonts and such. I personally use Microsoft Sans Serif for basic narrative stuff at size 12, then just Helvetica for italic words (like ship names since Microsoft Sans Serif doesn't italicize on Apple Pages, for whatever reason). I then use a variety of fonts for chapter titles and the like. –Victor Squishy Vic.png (talk page ) 20:20, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks.-- Josh Bender Talk 20:35, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

my article

 * if it is not allowed to redirect it to my page, can you purge "CC-7193"? There's a few reasons why I don't want it on here anymore. DjMack (Talk) 02:17, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, actually, yes you can have it deleted, but ask an administrator. Or, instead, place Unwanted or similar reason at the top of the article to notify you want it gone and it will be taken care of soon enough. –Victor Squishy Vic.png (talk page ) 04:54, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Question
Could you take a look at Rebellion in Ogana and tell me if you see any reason why Battle/2 is aligning to the center in the upper third of the infobox? Thanks. - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 06:31, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I honestly don't know why. I thought it may have been because you're using line breaks instead of bullet points but removing them changed nothing. Eh. –Victor Squishy Vic.png (talk page ) 06:44, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Weird. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 06:45, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Odd
I find it pretty odd that you are voted User of the Month every July and at no other time besides July. Reggie Jackson was nicknamed Mr. October so I guess we should call you Mr. July. -- I am the Chosen One Train me, I will bring balance... 04:46, 16 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Haha, if you wish. I think it was just coincidence the first two times; I was the first User of the Month after the system was created in for July, mostly because I was super active and whatever back then. The second time was when I retired, so I was honored for my retirement. For the third, it was on purpose by Josh (Nightmare975). :P –<font color="#C33">Victor Squishy Vic.png (<font color="#E33">talk page ) 04:51, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Nice infobox design. Very cool. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 05:16, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you sir. –<font color="#C33">Victor Squishy Vic.png (<font color="#E33">talk page ) 05:19, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Nomination for Adminship
Hey. Just to let you know, there's an election going on for Nacen as admin. - Joe   (talk) 14:42, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for telling me. –<font color="#C33">Victor Squishy Vic.png (<font color="#E33">talk page ) 07:06, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Article
Could you look at this article you tagged and see if it is now up to standard? If not, could you please highlight what's left to do? Unit 8311 Talk!  20:44, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Will look into it. –<font color="#C33">Victor Squishy Vic.png (<font color="#E33">talk page ) 07:06, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Review done here. –<font color="#C33">Victor Squishy Vic.png (<font color="#E33">talk page ) 07:18, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Re: Protection level
I'll just do it myself, since I don't know if you're online and I don't want to leave it unprotected for a long period of time. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 22:42, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Cool, thanks. –<font color="#C11">Victor Squishy Vic.png (<font color="#A33">talk page ) 22:49, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
