Brawl

No one seems to want to do so. What about you? Forbidden7MewtwoHeadSSBM.png 12:14, 17 July 2011 (EDT)

Perhaps at some point, though not right now. My FC is on my userpage, and I'll get yours down so I can try playing you at some point. Miles (talk) 12:14, 17 July 2011 (EDT)
Alright then. Forbidden7MewtwoHeadSSBM.png 12:16, 17 July 2011 (EDT)
Forbidden7 would like me to tell you he would like to Brawl you tomorrow, and that he won't necessarily be on the Wiki when he's ready to do so. (so check Nintendo WFC a bunch) DoctorPain99 {ROLLBACKER} 00:20, 23 July 2011 (EDT)
I may be able to do so. Miles (talk) 00:45, 23 July 2011 (EDT)
Keep in mind however, I do Basic Brawl quite often, so if I'm online but not creating a room or joining your game, it's because of that and you'll have to wait. Sorry about that. :( Forbidden7Lucas.png PK AWESOME! 13:19, 23 July 2011 (EDT)
It appears you have not registered my Brawl Code yet. Forbidden7Lucas.png PK AWESOME! 17:37, 23 July 2011 (EDT)
I haven't played Brawl in a while, sorry. I will get around to it.
Additionally, if you're looking for people to play, I strongly recommend making an account on All is Brawl. I'm going to be hosting (albeit not playing in) a wifi tourney, if you're interested. Miles (talk) 19:04, 23 July 2011 (EDT)
Alrighty. I look forward to brawling with you! Forbidden7Lucas.png PK AWESOME! 21:24, 23 July 2011 (EDT)
I see this discussion is continuing, which must mean..... Forbidden7Lucas.png PK AWESOME! 22:23, 23 July 2011 (EDT)
It's standard to leave the last conversation or two when archiving. Miles (talk) 22:45, 23 July 2011 (EDT)

A question

Since you're a sysop, I thought you would know best: Why exactly did we go from being a Wikia to a Wiki? ReiDemon (talk) 17:51, 24 July 2011 (EDT)

Because Wikia is an evil, corrupt corporation who only care about money and not their wikis. Wikia is the name of the host and this was always a wiki, even on Wikia. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 18:30, 24 July 2011 (EDT)
A variety of reasons, such as users from outside the Wiki (Wikia staff) having more power in your Wiki than the bureaucrats chosen by the community do, Wikia forcing unwanted changes and features upon its Wikis, and the general corruptness of Wikia. Read Shadowcrest's first post here for some more information. Omega Tyrant TyranitarMS.png 18:31, 24 July 2011 (EDT)
Basically, Wikia made it clear they were in charge, not the editors. It was not a form of "leadership" we approved of, and everything but our position in search results is better for having left Wikia. Miles (talk) 18:49, 24 July 2011 (EDT)

Image Reverts

I see you reverted my images. My question is, why? I know their screenshots and I know their to be kept alone, but all they show is black. Besides, Mr.G&A doesn't stand out as a bright color than the other characters. I know screenshots are to provide what images look like ingame, but the images with black background is just showing you a character against blackness. Isn't the same without the black background?

PikminBrawler (talk) 10:39, 28 July 2011 (EDT)

I find the images are far more useful against a black background, if for no other reason than that characters are more frequently seen in Brawl against a black background (Mario Bros., 75m) than a totally white one. Miles (talk) 15:31, 28 July 2011 (EDT)

Not sure if it's a personal attack

But it might be offending anyway: [22:14] <Izkael> because you are a fucked up christian bigot :P [22:15] <Izkael> who needs to probably go die because of your insolence :P [22:15] <Izkael> Then again that's jsut a logical opinion that people like you cant comprehend

-Ivy73002MS.png 23:19, 28 July 2011 (EDT)

Miles isn't a mod on IRC. You'll have to go to Omega Tyrant, Megatron1, or Toomai. Mr. Anon (talk) 23:57, 28 July 2011 (EDT)
Blatant PA. Have an IRC mod take action if they haven't done so already. Miles (talk) 00:01, 29 July 2011 (EDT)

This guy

This guy is requesting pornographic images for his userpage. Is that acceptable? Mr. Anon (talk) 13:23, 30 July 2011 (EDT)

It is never accetable. That user is a vandal on MarioWiki who was permabanned for sockpuppeting. GoombasShoe15 said so. BlindcoloursEarthboundSymbol.svgYOUR WINNER 13:27, 30 July 2011 (EDT)
Correct. Miles (talk) 15:00, 30 July 2011 (EDT)

Brawl?

Do you want to Brawl? Mr. Anon (talk) 13:18, 11 August 2011 (EDT)

Sure, I can Brawl this afternoon. I'll drop by IRC when I'm available, though it might be a bit. Miles (talk) 14:20, 11 August 2011 (EDT)
Can I have a chance too sometime? :D--PSIWolf (TCE) 14:40, 11 August 2011 (EDT)
Sure. I'd be up for FFAs too, if all involved are interested. Miles (talk) 15:09, 11 August 2011 (EDT)
I'll tell you when I'm ready (not today).--PSIWolf (TCE) 14:43, 13 August 2011 (EDT)

My edits

Is it that unuseful that you pretty much delete most of my edit? >_>Lucas-IV- OH MY PORK!Lucas alive.PNG 11:56, 14 August 2011 (EDT)

Sometimes certain things don't contribute much to the page. By the way, I think what you were asking Porplemontage about is covered pretty fully by priority. Miles (talk) 13:24, 14 August 2011 (EDT)

Hey...

wanna brawl? Blindcolours Game BoyWeegee Sprite.gif 21:53, 17 August 2011 (EDT)

Some other time? Blindcolours Game BoyWeegee Sprite.gif 22:00, 17 August 2011 (EDT)
I won't be able to for quite a while, actually. Sorry. Miles (talk) 22:25, 17 August 2011 (EDT)

Poopys back

Block him. Blindcolours Ganbarimasu! 15:06, 27 August 2011 (EDT)

Youtube SmashWiki

Link? Blindcolours tappity Tappity TAPPITY 19:57, 30 August 2011 (EDT)

1 Though I haven't put much customization in yet. That'll come soon, I suppose. Miles (talk) 20:01, 30 August 2011 (EDT)

Email

I have a video of Mario's moveset in SSB64 recorded. Can you confirm your email with SmashWiki so that I can send you the vid for the SmashWiki youtube account? Mr. Anon (talk) 21:20, 1 September 2011 (EDT)

Don't use the send-to-user thing; just email it to smashwikidian[at]gmail.com. Miles (talk) 22:27, 1 September 2011 (EDT)
Uhm, I was kinda hoping for something a) with audio and b) without a watermark. Miles (talk) 00:57, 2 September 2011 (EDT)
I'm not sure why audio is necessary (though I can do another recording with it tomorrow), and unfortunately I can't do much about the watermark atm. Sorry. Mr. Anon (talk) 01:01, 2 September 2011 (EDT)
Don't stress too much. I'm just looking for something of-the-quality-we'd-want-for-the-channel to put up as a test. Miles (talk) 01:47, 2 September 2011 (EDT)

SmashWiki email

Hey, I need the password to it. Also, if you haven't already, you should give it to Toomai as well. Omega Tyrant TyranitarMS.png 12:09, 17 September 2011 (EDT)

I suggest

You use PK Protect Page on User:Marioisawesome118 until he shows some mainspace contributions. Blindcolours Killin' it since 1999. 21:52, 17 September 2011 (EDT)

He's still learning the ropes. Give him a bit to mainspace edit now that you've explained it. Miles (talk) 23:30, 17 September 2011 (EDT)

Lakeshore

That protection length seems too extreme. I'm not an admin, but I think 2 months would be better. But hey, it's your decision.Blindcolours FALCON... 19:18, 2 October 2011 (EDT)

If consensus disagrees with me, then we'll go with that. My opinion on the matter stands, however. Miles (talk) 17:24, 19 October 2011 (EDT)

Hello

Please stop making moving images under headers. There's an open discussion on it right now-- did it not occur to you that you're potentially just creating more work for people to revert later?

To be clear, what ToastUltimatum and PoD are describing is specific to a certain set of pages.
