Talk archiving
- A better way to archive your talk page might be to move it to User talk:Platypus/Archive1. That way, it's in the "User talk" namespace, and it automatically links back here. It's also the standard way people archive talk pages on MediaWiki wikis like this one. -Camper9 03:17, 24 June 2008 (PDT)
Good idea. Thanks! --Platypus 04:43, 24 June 2008 (PDT)
I'm not sure if you were aware, but 6bushes is 'blanking' (removing all content) from many pages in "Smutty Sex Romp." I was going to revert them myself, but I read that it would be better to contact a sysop about it via their talk page since they can mass revert. -- Katrex
I've noticed from your edits of the pages I've added, I've been letting some words in the past tense through (had/was being the primary offenders). My apologies, for this wasn't my intention. I've been trying to stick to present tense, I guess some words are just far easier for me to miss. I'll try to ensure all future pages (and current) pages are kept in (changed to) the present tense. Thanks for the corrections you've made, I probably wouldn't have noticed it otherwise. As well, thanks for changing the colour of the text on that one page, I was wondering how I could do that. :] -- Katrex
Thanks for fixing the coding in my template.--Zinger2099
I found some bs links I guess the spammer left, and deleted them. Sadly, the spammer deleted all the rated R stories, and I'm not sure how to bring them back. Might want to look into this.--Olboyfloats
Well, he said he was leaving. Looks like we might be safe.--Guardian Angel 18:33, 22 February 2007 (EST)
Need help deleating the 1s? Fruitbat
I can;t find where to deleat a page.
Do you have a feeling that Decimus Callilaus (or whatever his name is) was actually Gauis Fleminus and managed to change his IP address or something? Fruitbat
There's another Roman vandal. Right now, I'm sure that it's either Gaius or a group of vandals that know him. Congrats on blocking him before he destroyed the site! Fruitbat
I wish there was a way to like block all users with Roman names so that the Roman vandals can't come on anymore! It's a good thing Robkohr gave us those powers! Fruitbat
What is that 70. whatever user doing? He's filling up the entire page with stories he hasen't even started!? Fruitbat
Does the Tredguard's Treasure quest really belong in Normal stories? Fruitbat
Sorry, I guess I'm just lazy and don't proofread my edits. Won't happen again. Lucky numbers
Exeuse me? What did you say I messed up? I know I neede to proofread my sections of Cusader, but I have no clue what the other thing you mentioned. sexy smutt romp? I don't understand. Lucky numbers
Frankly, I'm getting confused of all the 68. members. I just blocked one, and another shows up and starts editing the same page, with the same warnings that the user I blocked had. I am just confused! Fruitbat
It's like a cult of Secret Island people, who save-edit-save-edit etc. Fruitbat
Thanks for saving Boromir's Quest from the link spammer. Fruitbat
Olay, thanks! Fruitbat
Do you have any idea what is going on with Boromir's Quest? Every time I try to make a new page, it takes me to this stupid page which makes my type in a word before I can continue. Do you know what this is? Fruitbat
Categories-
- They make it easier to determine what story a page belongs to when the page is viewed out of context.
- They make it easier to determine how many pages belong to a given story.
Having unique templates for stories delivers both advantages... both there's nothing wrong with categorizing the pages as well, if you really want to do all that work. --Platypus 12:49, 15 March 2007 (EST)
Thanks. I don't really mind the work, because, for the most part, adding a category to the template will add each page to that category to. Personally, I think it'll also help to organize the wiki a bit, so that we don't just have pages with names that are meaningless without the rest of the story. But that's just me. — LastUserNameEver 21:55, 15 March 2007 (EST)
Categories are not needed for Kitty in the Window or any adventure with a unique status bar. They already basically have a category all to themselves! Fruitbat

Hi! I am creating my own wiki. However, I do not know how to upload my logo on to this site. Please help! You can catch me on the main site (you know [EditThis.info]) as Sportman2. PLease leave a message there. Please help!--208.102.116.51 16:58, 28 March 2007 (EST)
Rabbit Hole
Hey! You completely rock! Thanks for all the help making the story look great! I'm still a little new when it comes to all this, but with your help, I'd have to say I'm very proud of how this story is starting out! HAIL ERIS!! --Olboyfloats
Oh, I LOVE the flipped Chao and the colored box. Super cool stuff. This whole Rabbit Hole thing is getting deeper and deeper every day! --Olboyfloats
Ya,sry bout that...I deal with getting users to do that.May I ask why the categories arn't integrated with the template?Shazlin 23:24, 19 June 2007 (EDT)

Hey Platypus, I'm kind of wanting to write my own story now, front page in the 18+ section, could you help me out? Oh, and is there some way to put it on there and work on it while keeping it locked from other people (until I'm finished or have a decent start on it) Thanks. --Ashogo
sysop
Hi Platypus,
You have been a great user on the system and I have given you sysop rights. This means that you can block users that are vandals on the system. If you would like to look up a user's IP address go to the Control Panel and use the tool there. Then go to special pages to go to the block IP form. Please use this feature sparingly. Blocks should only be used for users that are trying to destroy the site and not to censor content.
Thanks,
--RobKohr 03:03, 25 February 2007 (EST)
- Sometimes after you submit it takes you to an "create a wiki page". That is just a problem with the redirect and the block did work.
- Fruitbat is another user that I granted rights on
- I have already blocked Gaius
Thanks for the tip Rickyrab 18:21, 22 March 2007 (EST)
Thanks for hooking up the Rabbit Hole! I've started some of the basic begginnings of it, and will be working on it a ton over the weekend. Feel free to correct my spelling, make it funnier, add new things, whatever. After this weekend, when I'm happy with it, I'm going to start advertising it amongst my regular Discordian channels, and inviting everyone to play along. My hope is that someday it has more pages than the Smutty Sex thingy.. Olboyfloats
hey platypus i would like to move tree of doom to the 18+rated section but i dont know how, can you help me?
Hi Platypus
Thanks for letting me know about the health bars & such. Hope I'm not creating too much work for you when I forget them occasionally.
About the Hitchhikers Guide problem - so, are ALL of these stories interlinked?
Canary8623
Thanks for the explination. Did that story you were editing have unuploaded images as well? It must have. Fruitbat
Hi Platypus
Thanks for giving me that info many thanks! Well im a newby but im learning... p.s can you get flash animations onto your stories etc.

Death to perversion
Your empire of perversion is at an end! Go post your porn on a porn site, and let this wiki become a Choose-your-own Adventure Wiki, not a place for sick idiots such as yourself to masturbate!
Death to perversion! Let logic reign!
--Imperator Romanum 17:31, 26 November 2007 (EST)
Get a life, loser. And try making your own site with stories you like instead of trying to trash our site. --Platypus 19:23, 26 November 2007 (EST)
- If this wiki uses an up-to-date version of MediaWiki, you should be able to rollback pages directly from a user's list of contributions, which should be a little faster. --Camper9 20:30, 29 November 2007 (EST)
Thanks
Thanks for adding in the status bar. I wasn't sure how to do that, but once I saw how you added them in, I figured it out rather quickly. -Kliesh

Is there any special code language that I have to/ought to know? I tried editing/adding a few pages to University Daze and accidentally broke at least two links. :(
Is there an easy way to get to a page that gives some sort of tutorial on how all this works? I'm by no means a computer guru. Honestly, I'm rather clueless. Any help would be appreciated.
Hey, thanks for editing my edits...or however you quite say that....^^. I don't know how to post links to different options, so if someone could tell me that would really help! :D -Funnymuffin

Can you help me and tell me how to put/make a story on this site? I would really like it if you could. I made sure that this message was spelled correct to please you. I need your help.

Help Out a Newbie?
Hola!
Hey, I'm trying to figure out how to add locations to the status bar..I'm sure it's ridiculously easy, but I'm afraid it's a little beyond my grasp. Could you help me out?
Platypus2
Hey, remember me? I'm Platypus2! I'm back with a new account called Platypus3. Don't worry, I haven't spammed anyone so far. I just wanted to warn you that blocking me will just make me come back with a new account. Look, I'm sorry for all the spam I posted. I was just pissed that you deleted my contributions to "Teenager." I know they were innapropriate, but they added a hilarious edge to the story. I made it much better. You should have got the guy who made Teenager's opinion before deleting it. I'm sure he would have thought it better! C'mon, man! I promise not to spam if you wont delete any funny contributions I make. I'm offering a truce.
yea im still learning the ropes so im still working on them thanks tho
hey Platypus, thanks for trying to keep things consistant but it IS SUPPOSED TO CHANGE you will see why in the end (hint: it may have something to do with a pumpkin) also please stop trying to keep health consistant.
Platypus STOP
hi Platypus THERES REASON FOR CHANGE in jim's Barbeque. Thanks for trying to keep things consistant but THATS NOT HOW WE WANT IT (you will see what we mean LATER ON)
ALL CAPS MEANS IM ANGRY THIS IS MY OUTSIDE TYPING IT IS VEARY ANGRY!
Thanks for reading - Hey its
yo needs endings
yo there is like almost no endings here hello!
Accident
If i tried to delete Random III then it was probably an editing accident. Try to relax more, you dont have to blast me for a mistake.
You sly dog, you probably know who wrote this anyway so I won't sign it.
What the Barbeque
K so i think we got an issue here mister LETS GO RUIN ALL THE FUN. I see that you want to be like us cool dudes and make the site better one story at a time but we gotta come to an agreement here k? Now this leads me to my first question. Are You the only admin on this site? OR ARE YOU JUST SOME KIND OF BARBEQUE HATER?!?!?!?! You are the only person who seems to freak out when we do anything that you think is wrong everyone else is gettin a laugh and changin it back in time... but you just seem to scream about every little thing. Yes i see that you are doing good but still....
thankyou Me
p.s. it would be really cool if you could set font colour :) (and if you can, can you help with how?)
Greetings!
Um.... you seem to be the most active user, so I thought I'd introduce myself. There's not much to say, but is there anything I should know that's not on the main page? I admit, I'm a bit confused by the distinction between "Normal" and "R-rated" stories. Could you clarify please? Other than that, can you recommend any stories to read in the R-rated or under sections?
Thanks--Rawar 09:23, 27 March 2009 (PDT)
Okay
Sorry about that. I'll try my best to do keep things right. I'm usually pretty good about this stuff but far from the best. If I'm doing anything wrong, just let me know and I'll do my best to fix it.-121 18:25, 30 January 2009 (PST)
Misc.
I created a separate page which I use to describe a few points on the status bar, thereby allowing me to remove it from the main page and giving a end result that I think looks much nicer. However, since it's not technically part of the story if this is a problem feel free to delete it. Just let me know if you do so I can re-add the information to the first page. - Katrex 18:48, 28 September 2008 (PDT)
chill I'm trying dude ok? Platypus,
Not all of them are endings. Im actually refreshing it with a new side story.

Sex Romp updates
Just a brief note so you'll know I'm enjoying the SSR outrageousness. I especially like Lynn the ballerina, her determination to bring as many in as possible, and her slightly foul-mouthed amazement at their (lack of) limits. I'd like to see more of Lynn... pity there's no option (yet) to let her follow the player home and playfully boss him around some more. (-:

My Threads (University Daze)
Thanks for the grammar nazi'ing. I have a habit of coming back (read: much) later and fixing what I write. It helps to be distanced from it, otherwise I don't spot errors and can't really tell whether I like what I've written. You've made my job easier.

skilful / skillful
"skilful" is a better spelling than "skillful" because whereas both spellings are acceptable in American English, only "skilful" is allowed in British English. Therefore that's the spelling that should be used here: Rock, Paper, Scissors/Rock/Rock.--Alphador 03:36, 12 December 2008 (PST)
Newbie
Hey - just discovered this site and have been perusing some of your work. I have a question - is it permitted to add gay options to existing stories? I am not sure what the accepted rules are. I can start my own story, but thought it might be fun to add to some of the existing adult CYOAs. PhinnyGene 12:36, 17 December 2008 (PST)
Yes. Adding gay options to existing stories is allowed. --Platypus 16:03, 17 December 2008 (PST)
I added an option to the Fuck Christie's tits page of Jack Foster -- I see you reverted it -- did I do something wrong? I thought we were encouraged to add more possible options...? PhinnyGene 20:29, 19 December 2008 (PST)
Just a quick question. Can we start our own stories? If yes, then how? Unkowhero23
Thanks for contacting - I thought I was making my own story, but obviously I'm doing something wrong Lol! Will look into it and to a bit more reading. Cheers! Impious
Sub Categories
I noticed that in SSR you have a separate category for all of the locations in that story. I was wondering if this is something that should be done for all non-story pages of an adventure. In my story, War of Nations, I do have a couple of spells with links that aren't related to the plot but instead explain what the spell does. Also, second question, Should I begin all of my options with War of Nations/ or is it okay to remove that part? Thirdly, how exactly do I create a category?
- I created the location subcategory mainly so I could track how many pages are in a given location and make it easier to get to pages in a given location. From a location's page, I can click on "What Links Here" and see all the pages in that location. If you want to make a subcategory for spells, feel free.
Should you begin all options with War of Nations? It's up to you. Adding that to the option name does keep you from accidentally crossing pages with another story.
Creating a category is much like creating a regular page. Type [[Category: Category Name]] on a page and the page is now categorized. Click on the red Category Name and you go to an index page showing all the pages in the category. If you place the name of another category on that index page, your new category become a subcategory. --Platypus 17:23, 1 February 2009 (PST)
Thanks for the help
Thank you for helping me with my story! I'm new to editing Wikis so I don't know to add categories and all that plus I make mistakes often. Thanks. One question, why did you delete 666? It was a perfectly good room!
Londonbirder
Hi Platypus,
Sorry to hear about the vandal attack. I haven't heard of him attacking elsewhere, but if I have learned anything about vandals, they get bored and move on after a little while. I saw that you were blocking his IP's so that should at least make it harder.
Note: it is very unlikely that he is related to Londonbirders. They are a group interested in birds, not messing with wikis, so I wouldn't bother asking them about this. He is most likely just trying to get wikis to accuse eachother.
- What is this "owned by birdwatchers" thing doing on my page?
- Seems that there is some vandal wandering around. Just revert his changes and don't engage him in dialog (never feed the trolls)
It'll do for now
I'm sure you'll completely repair the main page when you get back online. I don't care too much about the rest of this jerk's vandalism, but we need a main page and I did what I could to get it at least usable. BTW, is there any way to block all users named "londonbirder[anything]" at once, so that imbecile boy would have to at least switch to a completely new username? Hopefully he'll get bored soon. -- Teejay
thanks for your help
Thanks for your revisions. I hope you are enjoying the story. I'd love your contributions if you'd be so bold.
