Talk: Master Conjurer

		Master Conjurer — (talk) READ BEFORE EDITING HERE
		Welcome to my talk page, friend. I have some rules here that I would like you to follow: Use the time section on your template. I like to easily see when you wrote. Only leave a message or add to the end of a section. Do not start a new section if your message is relevant to one that already exists. Do not use language which insults any person or group, directly or indirectly. If you do not follow my rules on this page, I may censor or correct your edit, and the intent of your message may not be my first priority if I do. Also, I prefer that you use a talk template. If you don't have one, there is a tutorial here. If you can't, then at least sign and date.

Template

		Xepscern - It's Morphin Time!! TALK - 14:50, 18 July 2009 (UTC)You guys are so obnoxious, I swear.
		I tried to replicate your talk template, but it failed. This is the coding that I used: 60px Xepscern - Aerith isn't coming back, people TALK {{{text}}} What's wrong with it??

One: You're coding it wrong. Two: Even if you did code it right, it won't work. However, I know a way to make it work. I'll see if it works now.  ILHI ^{14:56, 18 July 2009 (UTC)}

There.  ILHI ^{15:12, 18 July 2009 (UTC)}

Walkthrough

Are you gonna add to the guide. Since the original 6 pages, there had been nothing new.

MCs gone pal. Exdeath64 00:51, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

@OMG: Short answer: no. Long answer: I'm waiting for someone to ask if they can finish it.

@Exdeath: I've still an eye on ye.

Name

TenzaZangetsu Special:Editcount/TenzaZangetsu 16 August 2009 (UTC)  -   "Those who do not understand true pain can never understand true peace.": I'm curious after I read that on your userpage. I still have no clue of who you might be but here is my email if you want to tell me:kevingod77@gmail.com.

You've hidden your true identity well, although I feel that right there on your userpage is a mass giveaway. I thought it might be better to type this on your new talkpage and be cryptic about it, but I don't feel a need. You appear to share things in common, yet I hardly have compared you two. And I like Master Conjurer more. :3  ILHI ^{19:07, 16 August 2009 (UTC)}

		No, I know his name, at it isn't mine. I wonder if he'd be offended if I said you were getting warm. Anyway, I did email you with a URL to follow.

TenzaZangetsu Special:Editcount/TenzaZangetsu 16 August 2009 (UTC)  -   "What I have shown you is reality. What you remember, that is the illusion": So, you are him? Interesting...

		Exdeath64 - Lo and behold the sight that makes men tremble in utmost terror! MY USER TEMPLATE! Okay, its not that great, I just never use it for anything anymore and figured I could get a cheap laugh off of it. TALK - {{time=Exdeath64 19:25, 15 February 2009 (UTC)}}
		If your habits and ideas change, then they change. I highly doubt anyone would give you a hard time if you where to release your true username. And if it helps, I would back you up on this. If I got A11 unbanned, I can cover you on this (Either that or I will ramp up my annoyance to 11 until people stop bitching about it, sure, Fae might have a heart attack, but its worth it.). I actually have a similar philosophy (though if I am bored I will hit "random page" and see what comes up, fixing has I go along) and after that...Unpleasantness back in April, I considered doing something similar. Long story short, I don't care what name you use, along with how your edits change, and I doubt anyone actually will.

Now i want to know, what's the name you go under now? ( i know this is late). This is my email: Yuffie2211@hotmail.com Annoying Ninja^Hallo!_Contrib.07:46, October 5, 2009 (UTC)

How do you see the wiki?

		Xenomic TALK - 08:25, January 14, 2010 (UTC)
		Do excuse my intrusion, but I read yer comment on ILHI's page, and was curious as to how you see the wiki actually? I THINK I remember how he talked about it (which I can agree with to some extent) but I'm curious as to how you think of it.

		Master Conjurer — (talk) 08:30, January 14, 2010 (UTC)
		I recognize it as an unlikely source. Most of the people who use the wiki do not use it to obtain information. As such, I (and now ILHI) do not see the benefit of contributing extra time to its completion. I have made realizations to the contrary, but I still would not stress over a wiki's information.

		Xenomic TALK - 08:34, January 14, 2010 (UTC)
		Aye, I do believe I know what you're talking about. There have been many a time while working on this wiki that I have though to myself "Why am I bothering when I myself am not getting anything out of this and nothing will come out of it? Why not work on my RPG that others can actually enjoy or work on my spriting project so I can end that or get better at spriting? Why not go look for a job more or make more vid walkthroughs of games?". Even I don't know why I keep working like I do....I know I said it's because of boredom, but even boredom can go so far....even when one realizes that it is pretty much a waste of valuable time and effort even working on something like this...yet here I am, continuing on like it was no thing....

Welcome Back

Hey, welcome back to the wiki. Exdeath64 19:14, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. I was waiting for your hello, Friend. Master Conjurer 04:43, January 19, 2010 (UTC)

Wait a minute, you're editing under Master Conjurer again? I just realised. Y?  ILHI 19:24, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

I got over the stupid reasons for making a new one. I might as well use the profile that holds a decent reputation. Master Conjurer 05:03, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Need Help If I Can Get it! D:

		Xenomic TALK - 06:37, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
		Alright, so I'm trying to put an image behind a link on my wiki (using this as an example, I want to put an image in (C Version) for example), but I can't seem to get it to work quite right. Like, I'm trying to do say ([[File:This|C Version]]) for example, but it makes the image appear. I would like to make the link just be blue and link to the image. Any help would be fine D:

		Master Conjurer — (talk) 20:05, January 28, 2010 (UTC)
		It's been a while since I messed with them, but I think that for images, you need a : before File, like [[:File:This|...]], if you want it to just be a link. Let me know if that doesn't work.

No Offense

but you need to change your talk template. I can't read it at all.--BigCubby 12:39, January 26, 2010 (UTC)

I agree, it's pretty much impossible to read what's written with pink background, and it makes my head ache... Uppfinnarn 14:13, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

The colors on my template change often. You just need to purge the page or, even more simply, highlight the text. Master Conjurer 20:06, January 28, 2010 (UTC)

Purging doesn't help the headache i get from some versions of it... Uppfinnarn 16:14, January 29, 2010 (UTC)

There are no real versions or set combinations. The text color is chosen at random from all colors possiblie on the Internet, then the background color is chosen the same way. This happens every time you enter a new page that has my template on it. It's annoying about a third of the time, given realistic probability. A bit much, I know, but I'm just a nut for all things random. Master Conjurer 16:18, January 29, 2010 (UTC)

You should change that to be something that doesn't include color combinations like this: [1]  Uppfinnarn 16:26, January 29, 2010 (UTC)

You have no idea how much work that would take. Because Wikia disables the use of variables, I cannot program the template to remember what one color is and change the other accordingly. As a result, disabling certain combinations would take disabling a large number of colors. Master Conjurer 16:29, January 29, 2010 (UTC)

Or you could just use the select-option tags to create a few different options, like i do on my Random Quote function Uppfinnarn 16:34, January 29, 2010 (UTC)

I used to do that. (Believe it or not, I was the first FFWiki user to have my own random quote template.) I switched to this way because I like it better. Master Conjurer 16:37, January 29, 2010 (UTC)

O_o You were the first? I came up with that idea myself actually... I were the one who added the New Section function to the whole forum :D And what exactly is more manageable? You just have it randomize a hexadecimal color value twice, why don't you just make your Template:MC page pass a random color scheme to the template which it chooses from a list, and use that? Uppfinnarn 16:44, January 29, 2010 (UTC)

I was, so far as I know. I do know I wasn't copying anyone on april 15, 2009. Having a few themes would require either variables (the easier way, but not allowed by Wikia); {{{1}}}s and {{{2}}}s within an <option> (impossible using MediaWiki); or picking a theme for each use (a pain in the ass). I like my way, given the options. Master Conjurer 15:46, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

As it is now, there's a large chance that your messages are completely unreadable instead Uppfinnarn 15:58, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

		Hey Master Conjurer, Faethin directed me to you from a problem I have; An admin and I agreed to change the skin of a wiki that we edit. Well, it's been almost a day now and nothing has changed. So could you please see if this is correct: [2], I have a copy of it so that I can edit it freely seeing as I'm not an admin nor do I want to be: Sandbox(At the very bottom)

		Judge Balthier - TALK - 23:46, August 19, 2010 (UTC)
		Scratch all of that. Problem solved. :3

		Master Conjurer — (talk) 02:02, August 20, 2010 (UTC)
		Good job. Sorry for my belatedness in seeing your request. (My computer broke and I'm relying on my Linux box; I'll be back in Windows Live's quick world soon.) Feel free to ask me next time.

Sig

Your DNC vote has been removed. Your sig should clearly display your username, please change it. Doreiku Kuroofangu 03:02, September 18, 2010 (UTC)

Which one(s) is illegible? There are four, and they are chosen at random. Master Conjurer 20:58, September 18, 2010 (UTC)

Well, which one doesn't clearly display your username? Doreiku Kuroofangu 21:01, September 18, 2010 (UTC)

I guess I can simply revert it to a previous version. I would like a reply to the effect of telling me whether or not Al Bhed is OK, given that it is fairly legible. Master Conjurer 18:19, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

You have some fascinating code.

I went in to find out what made your templates tick and, just wow. Are you a fellow programmer? Bluestarultor ^BSA 21:48, November 20, 2010 (UTC)

I am. Master Conjurer 03:43, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

Haha! Awesome! XD

Coding

Are you versed in Flash at all? - +DeadlySlashSword+ 22:39, December 13, 2010 (UTC)

Unfortunately, no. I am versed in Silverlight, though. If you could use something that is like Flash, that would probably do. I'm guessing not, though; sorry. Master Conjurer 03:27, December 14, 2010 (UTC)

Depends, can Silverlight do something like this? - +DeadlySlashSword+ 05:06, December 15, 2010 (UTC)

It can. Master Conjurer 22:37, December 15, 2010 (UTC)

Would you be willing to create it, for this wikivent? - +DeadlySlashSword+ 23:35, December 15, 2010 (UTC)

Right now, no. If you ask me on Saturday, after my last final is over, I will definitely give it a shot. Right now, though, I am studying and nothing else. Master Conjurer 03:09, December 16, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, by all means your exams are more important, so take your time with them. Thank you, and good luck! - +DeadlySlashSword+ 03:49, December 16, 2010 (UTC)

My Linux tutorial

		SilverCrono — 08:16, December 23, 2010 (UTC) "Why is the sea salty? Probably because you folks use it as a toilet!"
		I've got it all set up and everything, but whenever it finishes installing and goes to the loading screen, my computer just blinks off. I thought it was overheating, so I let my laptop sit for 5 minutes or so and tried it again, but this same thing keeps happening. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

		Master Conjurer — (talk) 20:42, December 23, 2010 (UTC)
		Does this happen after you choose Linux Mint at boot? And can you tell me the brand of your computer and the brand of your graphics card? I do doubt that it would be overheating. Vista takes twice the resources that Mint does. If Mint overheated your computer, Vista would start a fire. I do know, however, that the free drivers that Mint uses do not work on some graphics cards. Of the many computers I've used, one has had this problem. It gave me a black screen whenever I tried to boot Mint or Ubuntu.

http://i443.photobucket.com/albums/qq156/DrakeClawfang/LightningAvatar3.png

		SilverCrono "FEAR MAH BANLAZORZ"
		Yeah, after it boots. It'll load and install files, and then it will just shut down. I use Vista, an HP brand, I believe. I'm not sure about my graphics card.

		Master Conjurer — (talk) 03:03, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
		I'm sorry to hear that. There are a number of cards that just can't use the free drivers. One of the more complicated distros would work for you, but I wouldn't start with them. For example, my newest laptop doesn't run Mint, either, but it runs Arch, which is ungodly complicated. Better luck with your next computer.

Re: "Sore Loser"

Why am I a sore loser? Terra won, 50-48. TA can call the DNC verdict as he likes, but I'm not letting the verdict be overturned on a technicality and a last-minute change of heart on TA's part. DoreikuKuroofangu - Visit the Soul Shrine! 21:53, December 24, 2010 (UTC)

Also, if you'd like to discuss this further I'm on the IRC as I frequently am, feel free to come aboard. DoreikuKuroofangu - Visit the Soul Shrine! 21:56, December 24, 2010 (UTC)

It's not a change of heart on TA's part. It's a change of heart on yours. You agreed to a lack of anonymous participation, but that's out the window if it means Terra can win. Master Conjurer 22:41, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Actually I did no such thing, I was unsure if we were doing them or not for the finals and left the sections there because that was how BH coded them up. In fact you can see right at the top of the peanut gallery I was unsure if anon voters were allowed or not this time. It was TA who declared, multiple times, that the DNC standard rules were to apply, and thus the anon votes should count. This "unwritten rule" that anon votes cannot influence the verdict is simply an asspull, no one else has ever been aware of this rule, TA did not indicate to anyone he planned to disregard the anon votes, this decision came out of nowhere without warning. You can call me biased if you like, but TA is probably just as biased himself, as are you. DoreikuKuroofangu - Visit the Soul Shrine! 23:09, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Eh? When IP votes become hugely disproportionate to the registered voters, then something is clearly going on, and action has to be taken. He didn't plan to disregard the anon votes until he saw that it was hugely disproportionate to the registered votes. It wasn't his plan all along. And he references a previous fight where the same thing had to be done, and if you try to check, you'll find it was done. 80.42.254.246 23:18, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

"He didn't plan to disregard the anon votes until he saw that it was hugely disproportionate to the registered votes. It wasn't his plan all along." - agreed, he didn't plan to disregard the anon votes until he saw Terra winning. Given his likely personal bias I doubt TA's judgment was neutral in this decision - I highly doubt he would have pulled this if it had been the anon votes giving Vivi the win. In fact I know he wouldn't have. And once again, I ask a very simple, logical question - if the anon votes are to be disregarded or otherwise marginalized when they would influence the result, why do we let anon users vote at all? DoreikuKuroofangu - Visit the Soul Shrine! 23:24, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Drake, check the contributions of some of those voters. There was cheating going on. Obvious cheating. People were coming in with seeming knowledge of the wiki and zero previous contributions on their IPs. I checked myself. Someone, either a dedicated few, or several people, were either logging out to vote anon, or using proxies, or some means of inflating anonymous votes. Bluestarultor ^BSA 23:44, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

UPDATE: Finished checking. Every last one of them, Drake. Every last one of them had their first contribution right there. A couple went on to comment in the Peanut Gallery or do some other crap, but not one of those IPs has more than 4 edits to their name. Bluestarultor ^BSA 23:47, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

I'd bet 5 US dollars that one of those IPs is Drake, given the way he reacted to 80.42.254.246. Master Conjurer 00:11, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

No, I voted in the registered section which TA removed, given how strongly we reacted when we discovered the sockpuppets you really think I would then stoop that low? I am genuinely insulted you think such of me. DoreikuKuroofangu - Visit the Soul Shrine! 00:13, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

I was going to blow this off and mentally label you "mildly childish." Then, however, you told me to fuck myself in the IRC when I made a small joke about one of your writing habits. After that, I have to consider you incredibly immature until you can show me otherwise. Master Conjurer 00:26, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

Well I apologize for that then, but I am very protective of my writing, it's one of the few things I'm proud of on a personal level. As for my maturity, if you think I'm one to stoop to cheating then you obviously know absolutely nothing about me and thus any opinion you have of me is meaningless. DoreikuKuroofangu - Visit the Soul Shrine! 02:07, December 27, 2010 (UTC)
