Sorry about that! I didn't see it! Even though it's right next to the save page button... oh dear. Anyway, sorry! --Odd.bod 10:33, 1 April 2008 (EDT)

Not a problem :) I've made the same mistake myself a good few times. - Game Lord^{Talk|Contribs} 10:58, 1 April 2008 (EDT)

Whoah! Stop!

Please stop adding the indent template to the books! That's an old, outdated mechanism and shouldn't be used any more. Books are automatically formatted by the CSS these days and only need tweaking in a few cases! –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 14:40, 7 April 2008 (EDT)

As an example, take a look at Tamriel:Confessions Of A Thief, which I just reformatted. The idea is to use the minimum HTML and wiki formatting so searches work better. Take a look at this to get an overview of what needs doing. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 14:45, 7 April 2008 (EDT)

>.< Sorry! I remembered seeing somewhere on an old talk pages (I have a habit of looking at these things) that the Tamriel books needed to be reformatted with the {{indent}} template. I now see that the Indent template (Or one that basically does the same) has been merged into the {{Book Summary}} template. I'm going to go through the books, and re-format it again right now. Once again sorry. - Game Lord^{Talk|Contribs} 10:35, 8 April 2008 (EDT)

That's okay. It's a problem with the site - we have a bit of stuff that is now hopelessly out of date and that's a case in point. For up-to-date tasks the Task List is the way to go. I redid the books from yesterday but I'm sure there are loads more to do. Not least, of course, the other books that currently use the indent template! –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 10:49, 8 April 2008 (EDT)

Thank you

You have been given a cookie! Your dedication and diligence to the wiki has not gone unnoticed. A user has seen the progress you've made, and has given you a cookie because of it. Good work! The user had the following to say: Thanks for checking and filling in all the values in Quests. Finally finished, yeah! -Cheers, Benould•T•C 13:56, 13 April 2008 (EDT)

Wow, first cookie! Thank you Benould, and if there's anything needing doing with the CS, just ask. - Game Lord^{Talk|Contribs} 11:55, 14 April 2008 (EDT)

Fanfiction Opportunity

Game Lord, as one of editors of this site who I feel deserves this opportunity, I am offering you a chance to have a character request in my new Fancfiction project, Rise and Fall (details here) I am only offering this to a few users, and you have been selected! (how corny was that?) Anyway, if you would like me to add your character idea to the story, just let me know. I'm currently in the planning stages, so there's plenty of time. --HMSVictory^Talk 12:21, 20 April 2008 (EDT)

Gorsh, I feel honoured. Yeah, I'd love to see my character in a FanFiction story. The one problem is that most of my characters, Morrowind and Oblivion, tend to be called Jiub. If you want to take a character from Oblivion, all I have is Tojarn, level 3, umm, not sure about anything else (I'll check later). As for Morrowind, I have thousands of them. The two most used are Jiub - level 42, Nord, Class:Pilgrim, Birthsign:Tower, any other details needed? And there's Gann gro-Mulkash, a level 39 Orc (Obiously), Class:Knight, Birthsign:Tower (I like that one), and once again, any other details needed? Hope that just about makes most things clear :) - Game Lord^{Talk|Contribs} 12:42, 20 April 2008 (EDT)

Thanks, I'll make sure that one of them is included. Just one thing I would like to know: Personality. It would be far better if you could tell me what these characters are actually like, so I can integrate that into their actions and dialogue. --HMSVictory^Talk 11:37, 21 April 2008 (EDT)

Er, hello? You seem to be oblivious to the above comment, even though you are currently active. --HMSVictory^Talk 12:24, 21 April 2008 (EDT)

Umm, yes, sorry about that. I was slightly caught up in the Morrowind:Quests page. To describe Tojarn, he's a pretty law-abiding Rothwardon; enjoys helping people if he can, but prefers to get a reward rather than just a "thank you". Whenever he's got nothing to do he like to wander around the countryside, killing wolves/rats/crabs as he sees them. Doesn't like caves much, but will go there if he has to. Doesn't like the idea of magic, but uses it for healing. Prefers a blade to any axe or mace, preferably long, and one handed, but knows his way around claymores if need be. Wears light, chain armor for preference.

Now on to Gann gro-Mulkash. Loses temper pretty easily, and simply runs around the countryside whacking trees/boulders when he does. Hates cliff-racers, would probably worship St. Jiub if he knew of his existance. Weapon of choice is a one handed axe, with a heavy shield in the other hand. Has a tendency to resort to thievery when there's something he wants/needs. Very active member of the Fighters Guild, and an occasional visitor to House Hlaalu. Doesn't bother with temples, and prefers to sleep in a nice sunny patch outside than a city bed. Dislikes the rule of the empire, but dislikes the rule of the Dunmer as well. Misses Orsinium, but cannot return due to being exiled for (guess what?) thievery. Has helped people in the past, but only when it helps him aswell. Has no intention of even considering fighting Dagoth-Ur or the like in the near future.

Got to go and eat now, but I should be back afterwards, and will answer any questions as fully as possible. Thanks again, - Game Lord^{Talk|Contribs} 12:34, 21 April 2008 (EDT)

Yes, that is more than sufficient. As you can see in the notice on my talk page, it helps if an idea is described comprehesively. Also, level is really of no importance, as this is Fanfiction, not game-technik profiling. Thanks anyway. --HMSVictory^Talk 13:01, 21 April 2008 (EDT)

Snow Bear Armor

Thanks for creating extra pages and filling in details XD Isn't Snow Bear Armor medium, though? Do you want to make the tables for Ancient and Ice armor, or shall I? --Benould^•T•C 15:58, 25 April 2008 (EDT)

I can if you want, I've got the CS open right now, and no, it's definately light. I'm also planning on making some more creature pages. - Game Lord^{Talk|Contribs} 16:01, 25 April 2008 (EDT)

Go for it, it's cumbersome at best for me without the CS. When looking at creatures, can you get info for the proposed Fryse Hag/Berserker/Reavers article? Thanks, --Benould^•T•C 16:09, 25 April 2008 (EDT)

Done Fryse Hag(s), will do others after the armors. - Game Lord^{Talk|Contribs} 16:15, 25 April 2008 (EDT)

One question: Is the in-game ice armor called "Ice Cuirass etc." or "Stalhrim Cuirass etc."? - Game Lord^{Talk|Contribs} 16:21, 25 April 2008 (EDT)

I see you found your answer XD Two things, can you add the Resist Frost Damage values on the the snow wolf/bear armor, and can I hand you the reigns for the weapons table as well? Good job, --Benould^•T•C 16:51, 25 April 2008 (EDT)

(outdent) I can do it, but I'm not sure when. Right now I'm building infoboxes for all nine variants of the Berserker, and I'm gonna have to log off soon. I'll do it if I can tonight, but might be tomorrow. By the way, if theres something you want me to do, you can add it to my task list. Make a new section called "Requested by other users". If nescessary link to this text to show I've given you permission. - Game Lord^{Talk|Contribs} 16:57, 25 April 2008 (EDT)

I split up the generic magic/unique items pages, and moved stuff over from Artifacts. Unique has some quest items, not sure if they belong there. Still needs cleanup and details. Anyhow, I am done with it for now, if you wanted to jump in on it. --Benould^•T•C 03:55, 27 April 2008 (EDT)

Yeah, I noticed. Thanks for that :) massive lists like that scare me. Especially if I'm going to have to go through the CS looking at every one afterwards. (You ever used the CS to look up stuff? It's easy but boring). Anyway, I'll work on it as soon as I can, but I'm gonna have to log off now. Sorry - Game Lord^{Talk|Contribs} 05:42, 27 April 2008 (EDT)

<Blush> Thank you!

Well, don't I feel silly now. I actually meant to look at this yesterday, but I got distracted by several other things at once and completely forgot. Thanks for making the change! --Robin Hood (Talk • E-mail • Contribs) 12:15, 30 April 2008 (EDT)

Not a problem, I've always been (and probably will be) more of a technical editor (Links, Lists, Databases) rather than complex game info. - Game Lord^{Talk|Contribs} 13:34, 30 April 2008 (EDT)

Thanks for the Inconvenience

The page I added on the Greaves of resilient flesh wash a complete mix up on my behalf :S Thanks for deleting it, and sorry for the inconvenience :( Yours truly, Logiccube 17:07, 30 April 2008 (EDT)

It's not a problem, everyone makes mistakes. Incidentally I didn't delete it, only Admins can do that. I just proposed it for deletion :) - Game Lord^{Talk|Contribs} 17:10, 30 April 2008 (EDT)
