User talk:BlackSmith

Welcome!
May I extend my warmest welcomes and offer you any help you may need? Thanks for your contributions, mate!

If you need help with something...
 * ...I'm always available! You can drop a message on my user talk page (which I watch like a hawk) or grab my other contact info on my user page.
 * ...There's a wealth of wiki documentation on the meta wiki, perhaps some of it may be of use to you.
 * ...There's a really good Introduction over on meta also, it should help you figure out what's going on if your new to wikis in general.

I'd like to hear a reply! Just click Edit above, and write a message under where mine ends - then, at the end of your message (on the same line) type four tildes (Like this: ) to automatically insert a nickname linked to your user page, and a date/time signature!

Again, welcome to the wiki - and I can't thank you enough on behalf of the community for your help in making us the best DDO site around (-; 22:17, July 5, 2007 (EDT)


 * Thanks for the welcome. I prolly only update the parts that are wrong in D&D and DDO sense plus my guild page. BlackSmith 06:34, July 24, 2007 (EDT)

i need help with Category: using

 * At the moment, listing all the warforgeds after the warforgeds race & enchancements page would display huge number of three (3) warforgeds. Ghant, Sanction, Ferricgnome. Listing warforged enhancements directly under race page with players (as logn the list stays under 50 names) would clear up the "foldering" spamm that is bit too heavy in this wiki. Lots of little stuff there and there, very little anything solid. BlackSmith 04:12, July 30, 2007 (EDT)

d20SRD

 * Thanks Borror0.


 * I rarely use d20SRD, i use the real thing. Pointless is quite heavy said about articles that are said by Dev team to be added.
 * Yes i know there is couple variations. I have actually listed almost them all at http://community.codemasters.com/forum/showthread.php?t=176331 and they have to add touch attacks in some point as the ray attacks in higher levels are really powerfull and its core part of the combat rules. I was planing to write note to the touch attack article about its misimplention. Dunno about you but i would rather make my characters with eye on the real rules. e.g. all the UMD junkies out there are screwd when UMD misshaps get implented. Where i know the are implented? Because its the part that balances UMD users over natural casters side of caster and DC's. In game of endless resources its a aspect that is emphazed.
 * DDO is badly done Dungeons and Dragons Online, yet thats what i have paid for the D&D part on it. would be nice to newcomers to know what is badly right from the start. BlackSmith 15:59, July 31, 2007 (EDT)


 * Ahem:


 * SRD, same real thing, the point is the same simply do not remove information. :)
 * Point me the article about what's goin to be added, I'll reconsider.
 * Ok, I know what to read next.. XD
 * UMD misimplemented? I've never used in D&D, what is the difference? (Please start another section on you talk apge to explain it. :) )
 * You might add that information to the PnP differences page! :)
 * I don't agree it's misimplemented. I simply see this has different. Somethings are better that way, or easier to implement in a video game. Being too close to PnP rules could be annoying sometimes (ie would you like to have touch range on healing spells? ;) )

PS: Do you have MSN, I feel this could go on for a while... XD Mine is Borror0@hotmail.com. Add me if you can, would make it better. :) PPS: Gald to see you using the post template. :) Borror0 16:22, July 31, 2007 (EDT)


 * Around after a while.


 * d20 has errors time after time that are fixed usually after pointing the, out but i rather use the official one as i can then flame Mark's arse (webpage maintainer there).
 * DDO has no mishaps on UMD using. In DnD if you fail to use the item, it has a bad effect. Usually the opposite what you wanted. There is a page long text about what could go wrong. Also you need separate checks to emulate class AND to use the item. Fail in either and you fail to use it. http://www.d20srd.org/srd/skills/useMagicDevice.htm
 * DDO was the big chance to make DnD easy to approach for many as the rules would have been rolled in the background.
 * Yes i would like to have touch range on healing spells. You can not heal from safety in DnD or auto hit touch spells nor you should be able in DDO either. Combats are lethal, thats its idea.

Hiya
Hey, thanks for stopping by and doing some editing. I've been gone for 2 weeks (crazy, crazy, crazy backpacking trip) so I missed any of this 'drama' or whatnot - sad to see you and Borror seem to have gotten off to a bad start.

Wiki editors always have differences of opinion on how things should be structured or organized. Thats what happens when you have lots of people who are doing work without money, on a volunteer basis; when somebody is technically your boss, but isn't actually responsible for handing you any money, it can be difficult to listen to them. Trust me, I know ^^/

In any case, let me know if you have any instant messenger contact information - it's a lot faster than talk pages, and I liked to chat with my top editors d-:

Again, thanks for editing, let me know if you need anything. I don't know any of the specific questions you or borror were arguing over, but if you just ask, I'd be glad to let you know the answer. 01:51, August 16, 2007 (EDT)

Template:Ingredient
I'm aware that Template:Ingredient is still buggy and that is mostly because I've never gotten it completed. I'm going through a divorce/separation right now and am unable to dedicate much time to fixing it at the moment. Feel free to take a poke at it. Otherwise I will finish it up as soon as reasonably possible. Thank you. ShoeMaker (Contributions • ) 16:53, February 19, 2013 (EST)


 * Okey, I'll fix it. Good luck in love. BlackSmith (Contributions &bull; Message) 11:21, February 27, 2013 (EST)

Alignment
You undid my revision on the article and without a reason. The article was ill formatted, wrongly categorized, did not stay on topic and was not clearing out what it was about. Mind clarifying why you did so? BlackSmith (Contributions • Message) 13:04, March 4, 2013 (EST)


 * Mass Removal of Information Bladedge (Contributions &bull; Message) 14:20, March 5, 2013 (EST)


 * Yes I did compare both versions and you removed all of DDO information from the page and replace it with what appers to be PnP backgoundinformation. I even double check before I responded to your post. This matter is now closed for debate. Bladedge (Contributions &bull; Message) 15:52, March 5, 2013 (EST)

English grammar, spelling, punctuation, sentence structure and wikiquette
BlackSmith, I'm not sure if you are aware or not, and I do not mean to be offensive or rude, but your English is horrible and very difficult to read. On article pages it is fair game for anyone to go in and fix them as they see fit; however, on talk pages this practice is discouraged by wikiquette. With that in mind, would you feel offended if myself (or anyone really) tried to clean up your English on talk pages? ShoeMaker (Contributions • ) 06:57, March 9, 2013 (EST)


 * No, I was not aware that it is "horrible" and "very difficult to read". I am aware that my writings are not as fluent as native speakers, but I have regarded myself as a decent English speaker. I also know that sometimes when I re-rewrite what I have been planing to say I loose the idea what I was going to say in the first place, since apparently simply saying "You're wrong about this and this and it would be better to do like this" is considered rude and hostile. For the record, You would not have sounded rude or offensive if you would have simply said "Would You feel offended if myself (or anyone really) tried to clean up your English on talk pages?" BlackSmith (Contributions &bull; Message) 11:19, March 9, 2013 (EST)


 * LOL That still doesn't answer the question of whether or not you would feel offended if cleaning up your English was done...

 * I wrote in the summary: "Sure, go ahead."

Categorization question

 * I'm disappointed Joe, this belongs with the rest of the discussion on Help_talk:Category. Please, let's not have the same discussion on everyone's talk pages.  Thank you.
