		Talk about a long title (it's bound to screw up something...). Anywho, for those of you who don't know, we (as in "I") kinda de-railed the topic Why I Think CSM Lives In New York, and in a misguided attempt to make ammends, I'm creating a whole new thread (which this wiki seems to be all about these days)! For those of you who haven't participated in the discussion, it's very simple. I'm making a short "animation" (more like a collection) of FFWiki editors who give shout-outs to the FFWiki community. All you gotta do if you wanna participate is to insert your talkbubble below mine (even if you already did this in the other topic, then please do it again) and have it contain the hexidecimal code of your favorite color, which I will use for the buttons (see Color chart for help). Then make a sound recording of yourself (or several) and send it/them to: vma_aka_unknown [AT] msn [Doooot] com (what I go through to avoid spam-mail... I assume you all know how it should be altered.) and mark the topic "Voice FFWiki <your screen-name>". If the files are too large to be attachements, please upload them somewhere else, and send me the download link. THE DEADLINE IS DECEMBER 30!!! Here's what you can do on the soundclip: Send a holiday shout-out (this is the only thing required, rest is optional) Make silly (but understandable) voices Do an impression/accent (if you do this, make sure you tell me what accent/impression you are doing, so I don't have to guess. That way, you can also get feedback from other users on how good you are ^_^) Sing a Christmas carol. Just make sure that everything is in seperate audio-files. Meaning the shout-out is in one audio-file, that the accents/impressions are on seperate audio-files, i.e. if you do 5 accents/impressions, make 5 files, each containing one accent/impression. This is because if I have to go and cut and edit besides all the Action Scripting I have to do, I simply won't make my own deadline, which is the very next day.

		I didn't understand the thing of the colors :S


		Hecko X^{talk - blog - anime rants} 19:00, 21 December 2007 (UTC)



		If your favorite color is indigo, you write a message containing the hexidecimal code for indigo, which is: #4B0082


		Diablocon - No, the question is; who art thou, ham planks? Shanks! I meant shanks TALK - 19:24, 21 December 2007 (UTC)



		Steel Blue for me. #4682B4


		Pablo618 - ^{I am the Iron man Proto-babil!!} TALK - Time for Dark Matter {{{time}}}



		mmm... orange (#FFA500), red (#FF0000), yellow (#FFFF00), gold (#FFD700). Use whichever you want


		Mymindislost - You made me forget my dreams when I woke up to you sleeping... TALK - 20:04, 21 December 2007 (UTC)



		Well, my real favorite is "lawn green" (#7CFC00), but if that turns out to be too garish, you can use "forest green" (#228B22) and that will be fine. Hooray! This is so exciting. I just went out and bought a spiffy new mic (the one I was planning to use got donated to charity without my knowing -_-). I'm so glad Diablo is doing this, too! I was worried you wouldn't, and that made me sad. :(


		Diablocon - No, the question is; who art thou, ham planks? Shanks! I meant shanks TALK - 20:06, 21 December 2007 (UTC)



		I've already submitted my clip to Hecko. He asures me it is hilarious.


		BlueHighwind ^Q? TALK - So if you care to find me, look to the Western Sky!ツ:



		I'm out, because fate seems to have chosen me to be the Grinch this year. It turns out that my sister doesn't have any microphones, and when I asked her to help me out she just laughed in my face. Sorry all.

		That's too bad, BH, I was really looking forward to finally be able to listen to your squeaky little voice each time I laughed because of your posts. Purple for me, please: #800080.


		BlueHighwind ^Q? TALK - So if you care to find me, look to the Western Sky!ツ:



		I'm a bass, and have excellent voice control. I really do wish that I could show you up, but then we have the same problem again. You'd be amazed just how low tech the BH operation is: I don't own a scanner, I don't own an Ipod, I don't have Photoshop, I don't even have a cellphone or E-mail. Hell I have to use my sister's computer just to get on Powerpoint. Really the only thing this computer can do is play DVDs, music, Microsoft Word, and go on the interent. It is indeed a sad state of affairs.


		Mymindislost - You made me forget my dreams when I woke up to you sleeping... TALK - 21:15, 21 December 2007 (UTC)



		Recorded and sent! ^_^ I don't know about how funny it is, but it does get the point across. God, I hate my voice. -_- And now you all get to hate it, too! Yay! ^_^


		Crazyswordsman - Final Fantasy VI, because Drake says he wants to link to FF7 every day, which is bad because that game is so far inferior to FF6. TALK - 21:33, 21 December 2007 (UTC)



		I really wish I could help, but my mic is back at school. In the meantime, you can listen to the audio at this Uncyclopedia article.


		Mymindislost - You made me forget my dreams when I woke up to you sleeping... TALK - 21:39, 21 December 2007 (UTC)



		Hahaha! That was awesome! Epic soundtrack, there, CSM. ^_^


		Hecko X^{talk - blog - anime rants} 00:22, 22 December 2007 (UTC)



		Too bad really, I was hoping to get all the prominent members...


		BlueHighwind ^Q? TALK - So if you care to find me, look to the Western Sky!ツ:



		When I get the technology I need you will hear my voice. I've always wanted to narrate my FFVIII Review. Hell I'd love to narrate anything I say, its always so badass. God you're missing out on so much by not hearing my voice say these words. I feel bad.

		NëA ^{TRANSMIT MESSAGE}



		I doubt that AK-1883 would want to join.


		DrakemasterDrake - "I would rather live a short life of glory than a long one of obscurity." TALK - {{{time}}} The clock on this site is so messed up, why bother?



		I'd do it if I had a mic, but I don't. Though I should be getting a new phone for Christmas and it will probaly have video, so maybe I'll borrow a USB port from my friend, record a little video with sound and put it on Youtube, then paste it on the site.


		Azul - "...When will Type-0 get an english localization? Who is John Galt?..." TALK - {{{time}}}



		I have a digital camera that records so I'll record and upload to that site that CSM recorded his Crono impression at. Cornflowerblue: #6495ED

		I'd do it if i had a mic. On a related note can Singstar microphones work as normal ones? If so i'd give a file. Colour: #1E90FF


		Crazyswordsman - Final Fantasy VI, because Drake says he wants to link to FF7 every day, which is bad because that game is so far inferior to FF6. TALK - 06:00, 24 December 2007 (UTC)



		Here's my message. You can add it in words: Hey everybody. It's me, CSM, your ~~ruthless tyrannical totalitarian~~ friendly neighborhood ~~housekeeper~~ bureaucrat. I'm here because this is a time of year we need to stop debating on the coolness of FFVI versus that of FFVII, nor is it the time of year we need to discuss why Chrono Trigger eats Chrono Cross for breakfast. This is a time to be sharing the joys we all have. To all the Christians out there, have yourselves a Merry Little Christmas. For all of you non-Christians, well, you're just like me; we already had our holidays. So happy belated Hanukkah, gracious belated Ramadan, and happy belated Diwali. And for the rest of us, happy Festivus! And to one and all dang y'all!


		Hecko X^{talk - blog - anime rants} 15:43, 24 December 2007 (UTC)



		@Hexed: Yes, Singstar microphones can be used.

		File recorded, I'll send it. Wait, my mic isn't working.


		Hecko X^{talk - blog - anime rants} 19:39, 25 December 2007 (UTC)



		Are you sure you set the audio input to be "Microphone" and not something else? Also, as a reminder to everyboddy else, 5 days, people.

		Ser Blue says at 20:14, 25 December 2007 (UTC)



		Though I don't celebrate Xmas, I'll definitely give this a try. My voice is as weird as weird gets, but what the heck. Awh, Diablo, I wanted Steel Blue. I'll use Royal Blue #4169E1 then with white font.


		Azul - "...When will Type-0 get an english localization? Who is John Galt?..." TALK - {{{time}}}



		If I'm gonna be the only one with a video recording, I don't think I wanna do it


		Hecko X^{talk - blog - anime rants} 22:29, 25 December 2007 (UTC)



		Then why don't you just cut the video part out and send me the audio..?


		Azul - "...When will Type-0 get an english localization? Who is John Galt?..." TALK - {{{time}}}



		How do I do that....?

http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff25/bluerfn/occu-27.png


		Ser Blue says at 01:26, 26 December 2007 (UTC)



		Get a microphone, plug it into the computer and at least use the Sound Recorder in the Entertainment menu of the Accessories menu of All Programs menu of the Start menu in the Taskbar.


		Hecko X^{talk - blog - anime rants} 21:16, 26 December 2007 (UTC)



		Do you have a microphone or only a webcam/camcorder?


		Azul - "...When will Type-0 get an english localization? Who is John Galt?..." TALK - {{{time}}}



		I'm sending mine tomorrow, okay Hecko?


		Hecko X^{talk - blog - anime rants} 15:14, 29 December 2007 (UTC)



		24 hours left, people!! So far, I've gotten files from Diablo, Mindi and Azul.


		Mymindislost - You made me forget my dreams when I woke up to you sleeping... TALK - 17:44, 29 December 2007 (UTC)



		That's it? I was hoping more people would do this... :(


		Hecko X^{talk - blog - anime rants} 21:28, 30 December 2007 (UTC)



		I'm coding and animating the entire thing as I am writing this. If there are any last second entrents, you have exactly 1 hours and 32 minutes to record a message and send it to me. If it's not here by midnight CET, tough cookies.

		Fëasindë^Talk "Burn the land, boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me." 21:42, 30 December 2007 (UTC)



		Hecko! Did you get mine?


		Hecko X^{talk - blog - anime rants} 22:47, 30 December 2007 (UTC)



		Yes. So far, I've gotten voices from Diablo, Mindi, Azul, Blue, and Faethin (in that order). 14 minutes left, tick tock


		Hecko X^{talk - blog - anime rants} 18:33, 31 December 2007 (UTC)



		It's done. I had some issues with the coding, and had to take a couple of short-cuts, so if you notice something not working properly, let me know. The link will stay active for a couple of days, after which, the file will be removed. If you don't have a proper Flash player, open it with the Internet browser of your choice. If you have any questions about my animated audio player, let me know.


		BlueHighwind ^Q? TALK - So if you care to find me, look to the Western Sky!ツ:



		Anyone care to walk me through how to get that file to play? I've never seen anything like this in all my years of Internet wandering. And I really want to hear the angelic symphony of your many voices - I could use a good laugh this afternoon.


		Diablocon - No, the question is; who art thou, ham planks? Shanks! I meant shanks TALK - 18:48, 31 December 2007 (UTC)



		Damn Faethin, you've got a deep voice, I had to crank the volume up just to hear you. And MMIL, you've got a nice, clean voice. You sound like the kind of voice that gives you tutorials in games. I liked your message Hecko, although I had trouble following it. And the less said about my message the better. :P


		BlueHighwind ^Q? TALK - So if you care to find me, look to the Western Sky!ツ:



		Okay, you obviously got it to work, Diablo. So what did you do? Do I have sign up for this website and pay for something? Come on, HELP ME!!!! (Begins Weeping) =(

		Fëasindë^Talk "Burn the land, boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me." 19:07, 31 December 2007 (UTC)



		Yeah, I realize I could've spoken a little louder... but maybe I was unconsciously keeping my voice down to avoid my embarrasingly ugly accent. I'm kind of a perfectionist regarding languages, and since I'm not really good with sounds I tend to speak as little as I can if I can't do it in my own language. I digress, as usual, when speaking about languages. :P Diablo, your message cracked me up. MMIL, you have a very nice voice! Azul, that was a nice touch, the background music. Blue, yours was the message I liked the most. Faethin, yours was the lamest of all. Hecko, I'm still figuring out what accent were you using for the last part. Great job, by the way.


		Hecko X^{talk - blog - anime rants} 19:13, 31 December 2007 (UTC)



		Japanese, normal, French, normal, Indian. @Highwind: Open with a web-browser. When open, click the button "SOUND" on the left side of the player. Rest is explained there.


		Mymindislost - You made me forget my dreams when I woke up to you sleeping... TALK - 19:27, 31 December 2007 (UTC)



		Behold! My comments on this IN REAL TIME. This will probably invoke a horrible edit conflict, but that's okay. ;) Diablo: Oh my god! You're singing! I love it! ^_^ I hope I get to hear you speak, as well. Ooh! Ooh! You are speaking! Yay! Scottish! ^_^ MMIL: Yes, I like speaking in emoticons sometimes. What's it to you? Colon P. Azul: Nice use of musical accompaniment! ^_^ I may have hated FFX, but I do like that song. Bluer: Very nice statement, as always. ^_^ Faethin: Nice voice! I think your accent sounds just fine, so don't worry. Hecko: Oh boy, Hecko's next. I can't wait! click Haha! Awesome accents, though I think your normal voice is my personal favorite. ^_^ Is it just me, or did you start to laugh at the end? ;) That was so much fun! We're gonna do this next year, too, right? ^_^ Hopefully, all the rest of you will get microphones by then. ;)

		Vat ees thees "Veb Browzair"?


		Mymindislost - You made me forget my dreams when I woke up to you sleeping... TALK - 19:43, 31 December 2007 (UTC)



		It's whatever program you use to access the internet. I use Firefox, but there's also Internet Explorer, AOL (if anyone still uses that... -_-), and Safari on Macs. Once you have downloaded the file and your web browser is open, go to "File" and choose "Open File" or something like that. Then, find wherever you saved the holiday shout-out file and open it. Hope that helps. ^_^


		Hecko X^{talk - blog - anime rants} 19:57, 31 December 2007 (UTC)



		I think I coughed with my mouth closed. I have laryngitis at the moment, so that's why :P Same reason for my voice going kind of hoarse at a point. But if you think my normal voice is something, you should hear my singing voice. As smoooooooth as being dragged across broken glass and covered with salt, though I do have my moments of "Wow, what the fuck was that? Kick ass!!" ^_^

		Sorry guys, I still can't get it to work. I try to Download the file, however nothing happens. It just links me back to the page I came from. I hate to be so annoying but this isn't something I can figure out on my own.


		Mymindislost - You made me forget my dreams when I woke up to you sleeping... TALK - 20:11, 31 December 2007 (UTC)



		It's okay, BH! It took me a minute to figure out, too. That page isn't very well laid out. The ads take up most of it and what you're supposed to do isn't very clearly marked. Up towards the top, it says "Please enter <three-letter code> here:", then there's a text field and an orange button that says "Download". I think you can probably get the rest. Hope that's descriptive enough. ^_^ And I'm sorry to hear you're sick, Hecko. Get well soon! :(
