From Create Your Own Story

Revision as of 20:17, 6 June 2008

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

Pictures

Just trying to help, that's all. Most of the pix are Wikipedia pic anyhow....I'm trying to keep everything copyright-safe. 204.52.215.13 17:49, 26 March 2007 (EST)

Logo

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)

Darkened Hope

Please add it to R-rated stories. --09:14, 21 June 2007 (EDT)

Thanks for the speedy service. I'm working on it. --09:26, 21 June 2007 (EDT)

What version of MediaWiki is this then?User:Shazlin 23:57, 22 June 2007 (EDT)

My CYOA

I want to put Ectoplasm in the General Category.Mr. Giga 04:23, 23 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

Hi Platypus

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

Platypus

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.

Hello, platypus, Im Squibots2 , I created the text adventure called Band forming thing. I need some help. Lately, its been getting edgier and edgier. I dont want it deleted, but i dont know how to move it. do you think you can move it to R or 18+ so i have less limitations?? please??

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.
