Welcome to my talk page ! How goes the ? Just make sure  doesn't bother you too much. You know what I always say, " ." Also, don't let your long-standing fear of  get the better of you. Feel free to leave a message and sign it with four tildes (~) Like this: ~ Also note, keep messages civil. If you leave an acerbic message expect me to respond in kind.

I just wanted to apologize for the multiple times I reloaded my deleted story. I am brand new to this site and I thought my story was being deleted accidentally, and I didn't realize there was a talk page where admins were trying to get in touch with me. Again I am very sorry. It won't happen again. I will review grammar and spelling and hopefully get my story correct. Have a great day! Spacecattt (talk) 21:56, March 5, 2015 (UTC)

I don't wanna throw a pity party, but I'd like to know why my pasta was deleted, please. I figured going to the person who deleted it would be the best way. If it was a formatting issue, it's because I foolishly posted it from my phone, and I do apologize in general for wasting your time with a substandard post. Also, I'd like a copy of it, because I couldnt find it on the wiki in time to copy and paste it before it was deleted. Thank you.

Cpatterson205 (talk) 22:02, March 5, 2015 (UTC)

I listened to what you said and I re-wrote my pasta. Is it ok if I re publish it? You can check it again and say if I'm still doing it wrong. I'm Hungarian so English isn't my first language that's why my vocab isn't so great. Thank you.--AkaKage666 (talk) 22:32, March 29, 2015 (UTC)

Sorry, lol. I've been gone for so long, and so much has happened. How you've been? I know this isn't the place to ask questions like this, but I'm just wondering.

Howdy Ho! (talk)

I saw! I'm so happy for you! And you deserve to be a b-crat. Like, I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to be one that's on this site besides you, if a camapign was did for it. You're just, cut out for it. lol What happened to the chat?

Howdy Ho! (talk)

I went on spinpasta recently looking for a few individuals, actually. In a way, I am happy the chat was taken off. However, there is no way to PM people unless you result to the sister sites. Which takes effort. Well, I'm persuing my dreams of becoming a roll backer. Talked to SOMEGUY about it yesterday, and he agreed that if I can get my article edits up and be active for a month or two, it'll make up for the months I was abscent. God, I hope so. I'd really hate to run, to just have my hopes and dreams crushed by a bunch of ugly "-" signs. I think I know the rules pretty well around here, though. I obviously still need work, but I'm sure I know the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Howdy Ho! (talk)

Won't be an issue for me, I never do bad edits. The only downfall is, that I over do it because I sniff out anything bad in the pasta. It's whatever though. It was nice talking to you Travis! I'll stop blowing up your messages now. Talk to you soon! Ciao! P.S. - The top of your Talk Page introduction has a minor grammar mistake, but I thought you'd want to know about it. (Also, don't let you(r) long-standing fear of)

Re: Warning
OMG that's so friggin' weird o_o. The first time I tried to edit, I hit "Preview" and it showed the entire thing as one ¶, and only some of it, the rest was gone! But, I went into Visual and made sure it was fine, which it was. When I hit Publish the page looked fine. Sorry, it didn't show up for me .-. BedrockPerson :D 23:16, March 5, 2015 (UTC)

Always happy to help
Trav,

I am more than happy to lend my assistance in maintaining the Showcase, especially since I was one of the early supporters for the idea.

Just give me a quick bit of info on what I would be expected to do, and of course, how to actually go about doing it. (I don't know how to move articles at the moment, so I would a crash course in that.)

Thanks,

Military stuff
Hey, happy to help, but not sure how much of it you'll be able to fix. First off, I love Catch-22, unfortunate that I didn't catch that reference.

So a few things: being in the airforce, he'd be an airman, not a soldier (minor thing since most people think of anyone in the armed services as a 'soldier'...really it only applies to army.)

Larger issues: He wouldn't be out of the military that fast. Now, since the character was born in 1985 and is a first lieutenant, I read this from the view of the current war in Iraq/Afghanistan. The homecoming is unrealistic...in reality you come back on big planes with the rest of your unit. Once you get home to your post there is a big welcoming ceremony and then over the next weeks you go through a battery mental tests to determine if you have anything that rattled loose over there. If they do determine you have something wrong with you, you get a crap ton of help (there have been some issues with vets who are out of the military having their benefits delayed, but somebody like this guy would have been getting seen from the second he set foot back on American soil.)  Bottom line, there's no one month cut off to mental help. And if he'd been identified as having mental issues, it would have probably taken them at least a year to get out of the military (assuming his time was up...as an officer there would be less likelihood of this happening...guys that fly get time added to their contract since they have to go through two years of flight school, meaning they are going to be in for at least 5-7 years.  Currently, a commissioned officer makes 1LT around 1.5 years and captain around 4.)

Lastly, (and this is probably the biggest as it's most essential to the story) he wouldn't have been able to see that kind of detail on the old man. The idea of bombers "swooping in" as you have him in this story is a thing of the past. Now pilots have laser guided munitions that they drop from a looong way off. An RPG wouldn't be taking down a fast mover like this (maybe...maybe a stinger missile) but instead would only be effective against helicopters (but those don't carry bombs). All that aside, there is a black and white thermal camera feed that pilots use for targetting. You can see all kinds of stuff on it, as far as where people are moving around and such (because thermal) but in reality its no more personal than waxing aliens in a video game...you can't see facial expressions or the like  Also, we didn't tend to bomb population centers in this war...really the only times were if guys on the ground could identify a building enemy was holed up in, they can call in a plane with a precision JDAM that would absolutely obliterate the building it hit, but not cause (too much) collateral damage around it.

So anyway, like I said, this was the sort of stuff that kept me from fully immersing myself in the story but, as a lot of it has to do with what makes the story have a point, I'm really not sure how much of it you can fix, lol. Hope that helps!

My S*itty Mistakes
I've done goofed Travis. And I need help with undoing some really crappy edits if you're actually up right now as I am typing this.

Edit #2: I'm sure there's more to come (many many more) but here's this one for right now. (It keeps saying conflicting edits or something, then it just redos what I undid...?)

Mistake 1, Mistake 2, Mistake 3, Mistake 4 Mistake 5 Mistake 6 Mistake 7 (Not really sure if it's a mistake, you be the judge.)

Howdy Ho! (talk)

Possible fix
So I was just thinking about it: if you change the time/location of your story a lot of the stuff would fix itself. The biggest issues (help for mental issues/getting out that soon after redeployment/not being able to see the man up close due to technology) would be fixed if you changed the setting to Vietnam or earlier because we didn't have a good understanding of the mental trauma issues back then, the rules of engagement allowed for more atrocities, and the targeting tech was a bit more up close and personal. Also, if you set it back in WWII, it would fix the title, since it wasn't until the 50s (I think...it was after WWII anyways) that the Air Force became a separate branch from the army...so "soldier" would work in this case. Hope this helps!

Questions Concerning my Health on CP
I've really blown up your talk page within the past week. This is one of the reasons on why I wish there was chat still, but it's also a good thing it's gone I suppose. I'm going to reread the entire rules again; I don't think anyone on this site is feeling as horrible as I do. I feel like I owe this site now, although it has been taken care of. Is there any way at all to reset my edit stats? Because my article edits are false, as we all now know. I'm beginning to question what all is going to happen from here on out concerning me becoming a roll backer, I obviously don't know what I'm doing. If you read the conversation between me and Under, you'd know I did talk to SOMEGUY about this. A question I asked him that he didn't get time to reply to was what all do you need to do to a story for it to be considered a "good edit"? How much of it do you need to do? Thank you so much Travis, you have no idea how much of a help you are.

Edit #2- I'm not sure if you remember Maulle, but apparently when she/he applied to become a rollbacker, it was denied because she/he made poor edits. I'm confused on what she/he did wrong, and I'm scared that I'm prone to make the same mistakes. The Application

Edit #3- Alright, thanks. It means a lot, it really does.

Formatting help?--Bakedbreadjen (talk) 07:39, March 8, 2015 (UTC)
Hello! This is my first time as an author and I just published my story. Except I'm not satisfied with how it's displayed/formatted and I have no idea on how to make it come out the way it exactly is like in the Visual Editor. any help/advice? It'd be much appreciated, thanks!

Story marked for review
Hello.

I came by to leave a message because of a story I wrote being marked for review. I understand the paragraphs were kinda liong and needed to be spaced out a bit better, but my question is as follows.

How long will it remain marked for review? I don't want to tell all of you how to do your jobs or anything, but I want some assurance it won't spend eternity in the "marked for review" category. Also, I see you did edit it and reviewed the changes, which made sense. So, how long will it spend in marked for review? Any idea? If you don't know exactly im fine, but I just wanted to know. I'm not upset or anything, I just really want to get it out there again soon. good day.Lilahdog568 (talk) 20:24, March 8, 2015 (UTC)

So sorry
I'm so sorry about that, Empy. I don't know how that happend and I frankly feel foolish and embarassed. Is it possible to get you to just erase all my comments? That won't happen again, I can assure you. HumboldtLycanthrope (talk) 01:11, March 9, 2015 (UTC)

I saw on Humboldts page that one of the reasons you didn't want to erase his comments is that it would leave me speaking to myself. If it has any affect, I completely understand getting angry and saying shit you regret later- it happens to me a decent amount. If Humboldt still wants the messages gone, I obviously allow you to erase mine as well. ShawnHowellsCP (talk) 16:15, March 12, 2015 (UTC)

re team pasta
Thanks as always, Empy. Yeah, I can type 85 words a minute and my grammar ain't so bad, but I readily admit I just suck with programming. So, what do we have to do to get more people to contribute to the collaborative cliche pasta? I'm thinking about hitting up some talk pages. I can't believe Jay hasn't contributed - YES, I KNOW YOU ARE LISTENING, JAY, SO PLEASE CONTRIBUTE! HumboldtLycanthrope (talk) 02:46, March 9, 2015 (UTC)

Message
I was wondering if I am able to remove that message you sent me on my talk page. As said on the reply I originally sent on my talk page, I did not intend vandalism at all and I was really just curious about the Abuse Filter, seeing if it could catch 'fazbear'. Apparently it did not, so I deleted it as soon as my fingers could make the mouse click to undo the edit.

So, is it ok to remove that message, as it makes my history on the Wiki look bad, and I did undid the mistake before anyone else could possibly click on the page and find out. Once again, I was not intending anything to harm the page, it was just a test and mistake gone wrong.

Thank you. MyWorld (talk) 03:14, March 9, 2015 (UTC)

Too easy. Thanks for doing that, and the info.

Hi...so something glitches on We R Leegun page. Had to read the end in reader mode which doesn't let me see or post reviews.

So you get it here. And this is an honest question. Why was I not reading that on my kindle after paying $2.99? Maybe this site is fulfilling enough. But Gods what about the people who don't read here?

Anyway great story...loved all the refrences I got. The ending was sad but in an honest way. Not just fucked up for the sake of it.

I've seen weirder things on kindle. Trust me. Honestly I do hope you think about publishing some work...it can be much more simple than you would think. I have not finished the other zombie novella. But prob will tomorrow. And I would give up any grammar I had going in to write as well as you do. I didn't go through just your's one after another so I had plenty to compare them to. Your writing along with a few others really sticks out.

I also think you would be very cool to hang out with. :-)


 * Favorite? It's so hard to pick just one. I loved you peace corp group. And I like how you tackle war. The cost is almost always higher than the reward.


 * As someone who enjoys refrences have you read Ready Player One? I'm guessing you may be a bit young to get them all but it is a great read.

Thank you for your response, and while it isn't exactly the greatest news I appreciate the feedback.

Questions
I was looking at the Request Page and I noticed that the edit limit had been doubled for roll backers. Is this due to the removal of VCROC? I personally believe that with that many edits, there should be more privileges given to the user, before jumping to adminship. You alone should know that being an admin is a huge responsibility, and requires good judgment, knowledge of this Wiki's Rules/Standards, as well as patience. Being a roll backer, doesn't allow you to do much. I've talked to other admins about what being a roll backer really was, and they each said that it doesn't really do anything, and is pratically useless. To me, it's just like having a title, instead of just being a "user". Knowing this, I'm lost for words on why it was deleted, versus the roll backer "rank". I guess what I'm asking is why was VCROC deleted if it didn't really have an "effect", and why does it jump from Roll Backer to Admin. I just think there should be a middle area, even when Simba had applied for adminship a long time ago, it was rejected because he was not given the abilites of a VCROC (was still a roll backer); meaning he didn't know all he should have before taking the big leap to becoming an admin. Having the VCROC rank also helps determine who would make a good canidate and would be capable of being an admin before the rights are passed. It just makes sense to me. Ex.- How would Simba had looked if he was an admin doing what he did? More importantly, how would he have made the site look? Maybe I'm completely wrong, but I just thought I should share my thoughts with you. Thanks!

Reprieve Talk Page 19:49, March 17, 2015 (UTC)
 * Very valid point and information. But still, shouldn't there be some way to learn how to be an admin? Let alone, prepare? I know there is (or at least was) the Creepy Pasta Training site; it's just that there being a huge leap just kinda seems like going from an average worker who just earned a promotion, to a CEO. If one day I wanted to become an admin, I'd be very hesitant to submit an application, due to the fear of not knowing what all to do. Maybe I'm over thinking it, it just kind of sounds funny to me. But it was a very good choice to up the standards for Roll Backer. About the VCROC, I think it should have stayed with maybe a few changes to the privileges. (Not even sure if that's possible, however.)   Reprieve  Talk Page 21:53, March 17, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hm. I guess if that's how things work, then I'll have to see for my self in the far future. Thanks Travis!

Five Days
I see that on a story I marked for review you had put, "Do not retag stories with M4R that were cleared." How do you check to see if it had already been marked for review before? Reprieve Talk Page 19:13, March 18, 2015 (UTC)


 * Well, I guess I apologize for marking it for review (again)? It's clear that I am still a noob in some fields of knowledge on this site. I did check to see if it had been examined by admins, however I didn't see that it was marked for review already. Quick question: That story had obvious plot holes, but are plot holes allowed in pastas? Or are they only eligilble for deletion if it's excessive? Just making sure so I won't make it a habit of placing stories in M4R that don't belong there, because they appear to have plot holes. I don't see plot holes discussed too much in the Quality Standards, either. (Sorry if I bombard you with questions. I just want to make sure I know what I'm doing, is all. If I'm a burden to you, just say so and I'll ask other admins. I guess this is like my training for a roll backer, haha.)
 * Reprieve Talk Page 20:26, March 18, 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm not arguing, but this is why I had marked it for review (so you didn't think I didn't actually read it or that I just M4R because yolo) because of these reasons:


 * The author fails to mention on how long she was out there: "I found you on one of my attempts to scavenge supplies and clothing from the wreckage." Yes, one could assume it was relatively soon after the wreckage due to the fact that she is still alive. In my opinion, those context clues could have went more than one direction, as it was obvious my first reaction was "OMG, NO! PLOT HOLE." That is why I find it highly important for details to make sure this confusion does not happen to be added to a story. I.E. - "I found you not too long after I had gathered myself together the day of the crash." The author also does not mention where this takes place. It just says it was snowing and it was waist deep. If it was a blizzard and as cold as God knows what (like in Canada or Alaska) (the man keeps saying it was "so cold"), both of the characters would have died from hyperthermia. Based on what the article says, she only had thin blankets and clothing. It's common sense that she would not have made it, because in cases such as those; you need heavy set clothing. Also, the story even states that the fire was "Sitting a few feet in front of her is a man and a small fire, not big enough to heat much of anything, but rather a dim light source." It's also been five days that she has been out, in a cold tunnel/cave. I think you know where I'm headed with this.


 * And in all honesty, if someone bounded me up and I did not know the individual; regardless I would have asked other questions before asking, "Where are you sleeping?" Or, being completely calm with the entire situation. I'm sure a lot of people would have. Umbrello makes a very good observation, "The worst part is how casual the woman is. He tells her to just go to bed and they'll talk about it in the morning? Are you kidding me?"


 * That last point does make a bit of sense to me now. But it's very strange and awkwardly written that he says "There was another person in the cave with you, yes." As if he knew for sure, and was not assuming.


 * Something else I don't know if anyone else noticed, all the information about the crash is said is that "   It hit the side of the mountain. We were the only survivors.  " LOL, I'm sorry but I can't help but to laugh. I don't know if it 's because I'm in an aviation class or because it's common sense, but if a plane goes down and hits into a mountain, it's going to explode. And if it doesn't explode, there's going to be more survivors. (Due to the fact that people would have been trying to get out of the wreckage.) Unless it's going to be some Final Destination crap where random shards of everything hits everyone in the face but two people. From the sounds of it, it did not explode. And if the woman did receive injury, it would have had to have been intense. (A broken leg, burned scars, bleeding from a certain area in the body that was harmed.) They don't even give any thought on to explain if it didn't explode, or where it crashed (in some trees and wooden limbs hit everyone in the face but you and I) There's way too much that I could continue on about (the crash wise), that I am now too burned out to even finish typing.


 * Once again, I am not arguing. I'm just explaining why I had marked it for review.
 *  Reprieve  Talk Page 21:25, March 18, 2015 (UTC)


 * Well I'm the minority here anyways, I can't delete a story. So if you think it meets the standards, then it does. There was way too many questions left unanswered, through my eyes. I honestly don't think it needs to be deleted, just put into a place like WW for revising. Anyways, thanks for your patience Travis!

Removal of "Three Passengers"
Hello, I wanted to ask you to revert the deleted article or at least give me a chance to reupload it, as I believe my reasons of not committing to the page rules are mostly technical.

The problems are due to wikia's new layout and editor scripts that are working awfully in every browser that I tried. Majority of the time the editor itself refused to load, plus the page loads itself painfully slow. Finally I used my smart phone to upload the story, and look and behold it got immediately removed. Bottom line: if keeping the article removed for now makes your life easier, good, but please do not remove a possibility for me to reupload the story.

It's not my intention to ignore the given rules, especially the technical ones, but I only work with the tools I'm given, and the ones provided by wikia are extremely limited and very poor. I had to change the preferences just to write you this complaint and I don't think that should be happening. If the reasons are other than the technical, but story wise, please give me specifics.

Thanks for your time, good day.

When you get a minute, would you look at the recent activity and see if you can tell what the thing is that reads: No title on the Empty board (it's not very far down, about 30 min. ago). I have no idea what is going on with it. You'll see what I'm talking about I think.

A contest suggestion...
G'day Empyre! I want to suggest a contest, a contest for graphic artists out there. I still don't know what to call it, but I think I can explain it.

In this contest, all graphic artists on this site will be encouraged to create their fan-made logo of Creepypasta Wikia. I think that's the simplest explanation I can give you. There will be three winners, and the winners' works will be used as the site's main logo, one month for each logo. To be sure, ask Cleric if he'll allow to change the logo.

If you know someone on this site who's also a graphic artist, we will include them on the panel of judges. Also, since I'm the one who proposed this contest, include me as one of the judges. BTW, here's what I created:

What do you think? Does it look great? Well, I'm expecting for your reply.

Question
Sorry to bug you but not sure who else to ask. How do stories get linked? I mean when you look at a new story there are no boxes below with other stories. When it's been here awhile there are 3 stories toward the bottom of the page. They are often similar themes. Is that automatic? Or does someone pick?

Re: Me, Myself, and I
Thank you. I'll look into the punctuation but as far the formatting errors, if you don't mind could you tell me what needs fixing. Also, the capitalization errors were not mistakes. "It" was capitalized on purpose because it is the name of this creature. However, would it be sutible to put it as "IT" to make it more noticable to be a part of the story and not an error? Although that might confuse people and make them think it's a fan fiction of Stephen King's "IT" lol

Hello. I'm sorry if I just didn't see it while reading the rules, seeing as I got a little lazy and less thorough, but is cursing allowed in stories? Or is it not allowed due to some of the readers being younger? I myself am of a fairly young age (though still old enough to make an acct of course) so I would understand the reasoning behind not letting people curse. And is all cursing banned? Or only the major ones such as the f  or the b word? Once again, sorry if I just didn't notice that rule whilst reading it.

interview debacle
He made it sound like the whole site staff was pissed at me over my little faux pas. If that's the case, why would I want to stick around?

I really didn't mean any harm, I just thought it's a wiki, everyone contributes to improve things, and he was offline and somehow I figured he'd see my remark fastest if I commented. Writers are rarely good at making the best social decisions, but I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition, nor to have all the responsibility pinned on me. I'm sorry in any case, and I'll try to keep my big mouth shut from now on. --Mikemacdee (talk) 23:33, March 25, 2015 (UTC)

please don't apologize
It's not your fault wiki formatting is wonky, and I'm grateful that you tried to mediate us. I'm just angry that he heaped his job responsibilities on me when I pointed out formatting problems. Being annoyed that I used the wrong form of contact is understandable. My dumb mistake, and I'll remember to use the talk page next time (hopefully).--Mikemacdee (talk) 23:54, March 25, 2015 (UTC)

Maybe I'm not cut out for writing. I tried two attempts to make a really good story and both stories get deleted for reasons.

I'm just going to read some "pastas" and make a series of "riffs" and "reviews".

All I can say is, I'm not really upset that my stories got deleted because sometimes I don't know what other elements to use.

So, that's pretty much my message to everyone on here especially you.

I'm sorry if the stories never really met any of the site's standards, but I have tried my best.

Til next time, stay "creepy" and enjoy the rest of the week.

SorrowPasta (talk) 02:39, March 26, 2015 (UTC)

I understand,sometimes new writers like me get a little nervous.

But with the help of the advice you provided, I might get the hang of story writing one of these days.

All that needs to be done is to keep reading several times and search for any errors.

And that's pretty much all I got to say. Again, thanks for the advice and feedback.
