note
The story Please was recently vandalized. I undid it, but Empy told me to let you or him know when this happened, and you were the one most recently active. Thanks.

Feedback?
I wrote a new pasta titled: Turn It Off in The Writer's Workshop, and I would really appreciate it if you could look it over and tell me what you think. I've always enjoyed your reviews, as they are genuine. Thanks in advanced. P.s. I totally haven't forgotten about the review I was supposed to do for your story. I work and go to school so much now that I've had to put it off for an available weekend, but I will get to it now. :) GreyOwl (talk) 22:20, September 20, 2014 (UTC)

Collaborative Writing Project Re
I will say I read this the day you spoke of it, but never had the time to review it properly. Now is that time.

First off, I want to begin by saying whoever made Veronica's portion was absolutely brilliant with the character development. As I share the unquenchable desire for knowledge as she displayed, I was lured in the entire time, hoping she didn't befall to a horrible end as many others before her had. Very well done portion.

Now, on to Jude. I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed this portion as well. Very creative and innovative. At first I thought he was stuck within a darkened room, but I quickly caught on to the fact he was within the die. That, my friend, is a genius twist. For someone who loves and abides by the element of surprise within each of my short stories and novels, I must say you surprised the hell out of me with that twist. The way you welded the stories together definitely caught my undivided attention. Very well done, Mystreve. I don't even think I could have thought up such a twist. Now, I must continue reading. I see there are two new sections to the project. :) GreyOwl (talk) 22:33, September 20, 2014 (UTC)

Travis coming in with the quickness!
Congrats on climbing up to the rank of B-crat! (Don't forget all us little people.) You deserve it and I can't wait to see the good you do for the wiki. (I believe there was mention of tacos....) EmpyrealInvective (talk) 21:31, September 21, 2014 (UTC)

Bureaucrat
I have officially granted you bureaucratic rights. Now this is a big position since you can't be demoted by anyone on this wiki besides the Staff and yourself. You have certain responsibilities to the wiki like handling disputes between users and admins. You must exam also disputes with other people's user rights (applications, demotions, etc). I recommend finding some way of contacting me, Skelly, Guy, and Cleric offsite. I prefer Skype though, my Skype's name is just the same on this site and so is Cleric's. Communication between bcrats is essentially important to run this wiki. Just saying that, Guy and Skelly have taken league of inactivity on this wiki, so me, you, and Cleric are probably the only active crats available at this moment. Congratulations on your new promotion, and I can't wait work with you. -- Sloshedtrain   Talk   Contribs   █  21:36, September 21, 2014 (UTC)

I take it your application went through? Congratulations, you really deserved it.

 * Thank you. I had considered returning earlier, but it was when I saw the deadline for your application that I convinced myself to log onto my account again. After the help you've been, I would feel like a total douche if I didn't show my support. --Resident DeVir (talk) 13:32, September 22, 2014 (UTC)

Chat Mod
Just for conocimiento, chat was acting up and as I am busy applying to Vet schools, I promoted Chaozstrider temporarily to help Simba (who's swamped atm.) We might want to consider re-opening mod applications in a few days so we don't have anyone throwing temper-tantrums. Sry for the short notice, but it was getting heated and people were having meltdowns and throwing hissy-fits. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 02:16, September 24, 2014 (UTC)

Re:
That goes without saying, I do recommend that we promote one or two users who are active late at night so we have 'round-the-clock people monitoring chat. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 11:50, September 24, 2014 (UTC)

Chat response
I went ahead and forwarded the gist of your response over the that user's talk page. You left it on mine..lol. Hopefully your words of wisdom sink in, and he can avoid any future bans.

On a brighter note, I finished conducting October's interview with Dubious Dugong. I am in the process of editing it and cleaning it up in MS Word right now, and plan to post it on the site on the 1st of October.

Best,

Thiago retired. You'll need to remove his VCROC right, since from what I can see and have been told, he's gone.  Steam Phoenix - Her Majestic and Loyal Talk Page  -   02:39, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

 * 15:53, October 3, 2014 Mystreve (talk | contribs | block) changed group membership for User:G4T0R4D3xEN3RGY from Chat moderator and rollback to Chat moderator, rollback and VCROC (Vote passed.)


 * You do know VCROC already has rollback built in, right? There isn't a need to keep rollback on the VCROC members - it just clutters up Special:ListUsers.  That One Freaky Producer Person   19:27, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Templates
Thanks for pointing those out to me. A picture is worth a thousand words, but I&#39;d rather write a thousand-word story. (talk) 19:20, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Thiago's Retirement/Rights
Although he doesn't plan to come back for around two months (as of now, that may change and I will let you know if it does) Thiago has requested his VCROC rights back. I don't know if he should be given them back now or when he does return, but can he be granted them without making another application? A picture is worth a thousand words, but I&#39;d rather write a thousand-word story. (talk) 20:57, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

Theme
I think we should a Halloween theme, similar to what we had last Halloween (you weren't around when the theme was created). The main was black (like it is now), the background was orange, the links were orange, and the header was orange and said "Keep Calm Halloween is Near." Here's a picture of the header and some of the background. Can we do that this year again?... please? http://i1125.photobucket.com/albums/l593/pokefany/Emoticones/illtellonyouplz.png Do you hear that? That's the grape roaring  16:34, October 5, 2014 (UTC)

Critique Request
I posted half of a story I'm working on the workshop, and no one's biting. It might have to do with the fact that it's only half done and already pretty long. I know you're really honest with your reviews so, here's the link.

Sykokillah (talk) 13:50, October 6, 2014 (UTC)

I guess, but I think they were also intimidated by the length. Also, I have a really low self-esteem.

Sykokillah (talk) 14:22, October 6, 2014 (UTC)

A question.
How would you feel when... let's say another hypothetical stabbing incident has happened and then the stupid parents of the victim decided to file separate charges against our site, and against the suspect? I am just wondering. How would you feel if in case you got interviewed by the local news? And how would you face the parents of the victim in the trial?

Le Thiago
Thiago's back! He's a VCROC again, and that means someone needs to add him on the .css again! I decided to go to you because, well, you're active :333 Do you hear that? <strong style="color: green; font: Comic-Sans;">That's the grape roaring   10:02, October 8, 2014 (UTC)

Question about Story
A story of mine was deleted because it did not meet the quality standards. I have gone back, edited and fixed it so it meets the guidelines. I do not want to get banned for trying to upload it again, so what should I do?--Terribly Fated (talk) 14:47, October 8, 2014 (UTC)Terribly Fated

VCROC
Hey. Can you hold off or close my VCROC app? Times have put me to a point to where I can't manage things, and I am unsure if I want the rights or not. It's your choice on what you want to do, either way works for me. <span style="padding: 0px 5px 0px 5px; border: Solid 2px ; background: ; -moz-border-radius: 0em 0em 0em 0em; -webkit-border-radius: 0em 0em 0em 0em; border-radius: 0em 0em 0em 0em;"><strong style="color: blue; font: Comic-Sans;">Do you hear that? <strong style="color: green; font: Comic-Sans;">That's the grape roaring   01:11, October 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * EDIT: I don't want you to close it (which I know that you probably won't). Can you postpone the due date of the app to another day (other than today, or any day within next week). I don't know if you can change the due date or not, but I do know that I won't manage to stay on the pasta wikis for quite some time. Probably two weeks or so? Or that you can do the deadline, but I won't be able to do the things everyone looks forward in semi-fresh-meat VCROC. I may do little, but I don't know if that'll impress you and the others or not. So it's up to you on what you wanna do. <span style="padding: 0px 5px 0px 5px; border: Solid 2px ; background: ; -moz-border-radius: 0em 0em 0em 0em; -webkit-border-radius: 0em 0em 0em 0em; border-radius: 0em 0em 0em 0em;"><strong style="color: blue; font: Comic-Sans;">Do you hear that? <strong style="color: green; font: Comic-Sans;">That's the grape roaring   03:00, October 9, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Ahri's Message
Kaitlin told me his evening (in her wiki's chat) that she was worried about the incident she mentioned earlier would actually happen before deciding to message you about it. She did not say it in the context of a threat; it seemed to be an honest question when her mind was wandering late at night. Still, I agree that it wasn't exactly an appropriate question to ask, at least not on a visible Talk page.

However, I'm not saying this to get her unblocked. She should remain so after her conduct in recent months; if not indefinitely, then at least for several months. I'm only clarifying that her last message was not intended as a threat, although I'm aware that doesn't change the fact that she still said it. A picture is worth a thousand words, but I&#39;d rather write a thousand-word story. (talk) 03:40, October 9, 2014 (UTC)

Keep an eye on them
These two guys haven't made an article edit since a pretty long time (especially the second user), and as far as I know this may be considered as inactivity.

Re:Archive
I agree that it was getting a little frustrating to scroll down every time a new message appeared. Thanks for telling me about how to archive my page. It feels refreshing, like unwrapping a new piece of gum after having chewed on the same one for months. It's nice to learn about all the convenient features of Wikia. - Resident DeVir (talk) 15:04, October 14, 2014 (UTC)

Saw the recent edits and was wondering why you don't just add the video to the page? (Also watched the video, pretty awesome stuff.) EmpyrealInvective (talk) 11:58, October 15, 2014 (UTC)


 * I got ten minutes before I gotta be at work, want me to add it? EmpyrealInvective (talk) 12:05, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

That thing
I considered marking the Corpse-Man story for deletion, seeing as how it was an unfinished page. As long as it's M4R'd, we can keep an eye an on it. I guess we should just cross our fingers and hope the author finishes what he started? - Resident DeVir (talk) 12:42, October 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * Okay, that sounds good. I've been afraid to mark unfinished stories for deletion lately because I know that certain stories, like The Remover, would have been deleted a quadrillion times over if we cared zealously about that rule. I'll M4R such stories in the future, so we don't risk losing of possbile treasures. That being said, I don't understand why people can't finish their stories before posting them. - Resident DeVir (talk) 13:01, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

My Inactivity
I'm not the kind to air his dirty laundry, so this is the first you're hearing of it, but I've been under an immense amount of stress and pressure not related to the wiki these last two weeks. I've focused more on moderating the chat than editing because there is a group of people who were so upset by the fact that I created the proposal thread that they have been, or at least were, actively trying to get me demoted.

I can't access what you linked, presumably a screenshot, because it's blocked on the network I'm currently using. Judging by the context, someone probably screen capped a person slurring while I wasn't paying attention. If you remember a couple months back, we had a similar issue with Wolfen. It was eventually established that it is not fair to call for the demotion of a moderator based on the occasional incident of inaction (i.e., you can't ban someone for being AFK or not noticing an offense).

I know it can be argued that this isn't an isolated incident, that I actively permit the use of slurs. But that isn't entirely true. I have said many times in the past and I'll say it again: I do ban for slurs when used in an offensive context. I will not ban if the person didn't mean any obvious harm.

If I'm not mistaken, a person has to be inactive for at least a month to be demoted from VCROC. CrashingCymbal has long exceeded that period, but no one is cracking down on him. In my case, soon I'm going to find myself with a considerably lighter workload in and out of school. I will use this time to get some editing done on the wiki. Until then I ask that you exercise patience and be more understanding of my predicament. Likferd (talk) 12:27, October 17, 2014 (UTC)

Ummm can i ask you a question sir? so it took 2 whole hours to write my story while still editing i see that i am instantly just blown off the site like nothing i would like to know why this is please? is it quality web site standards to just Destroy someones hard earned work completely to where they cant even save it? i think maybe so CreepysMacPasta (talk) 19:07, October 17, 2014 (UTC)CreepymacpastaCreepysMacPasta (talk) 19:07, October 17, 2014 (UTC)

Ban
Its been 1 day now, When will i get unbanned? Tha Boogieman iz coming too getch u!! 09:06, October 19, 2014 (UTC)

Um why did you delete my story? I already posted a topic on this which is pending so I re-read the reasons I got and read why exactly you could've deleted it. Um it was deleted due to the text looking terrible and not being uploaded right, but I finally fixed those so why was it deleted? What you get one and only one chance and if your a new user your greatest fic ever will be impossible to upload due to the text not looking good and it wasn't very goodly uploaded? Wow if that's true this is the "worst site to upload fics at ever" for that one reason.

But maybe it was a simple mistake and you didn't knew, either way if the topic gets deleted or if every single person defends why it was wrongly deleted...well freak it nothing else I can do but tell everyone everywhere the mistake that killed the site for me. XD Might help them to avoid it.

-Slender Jr-

I kinda need help.
Hey um I forgot how to make a pasta and I know it's a noob mistake but I havn't been on this for a while so can someone help me? One more thing, for some reason my chats not working. Does anyone have a clue why?

My Ban
I heard that the real reason I was banned was because me and Muchacha were apparently annoying and "purposefully" trying to annoy Likferd which is not the case. I don't know what Mucha did but all we wanted to know (or, what I wanted to know) was his opinion on slurs. That's it. I haven't been trying to do anything to piss Likferd off, I'm sorry. No, I have no proof that I'm innocent but where is the proof that I am guilty. Please, don't mistake my tone for anger. I am simply curious is all. http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140812210635/central/images/5/5b/34px-Feather_gold_bronze.png ஜ۩۞۩ஜ 01:40, October 23, 2014 (UTC)
