Bureau names
I was going through some of my old school stuff and I came across my Arabic notes. Turns out, the plural of Rafiq is Rafiqan (pronounced Raa-fi-kaan) and the feminine form is Rafiqa or Rafiqah (phonetic spelling, so you get to choose =P). The meaning remains the same but the current system is slightly inaccurate in terms of grammar, and might be considered a little sexist. You guys might want to fix it. Thanks =) 16:53, August 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * I see. Well, can you fix it or is it protected? -- 17:06, August 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * You want me to do the rewording? Sure I guess. I'll just need a few links to the pages that may require rewording, and it seems as though I should be able to edit them without protection issues. 17:11, August 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't know all the pages it's misspelled on, if there are any. I assumed you spotted the errors. -- 19:50, August 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * I would go for the male form, simply because all the Bureau leaders were male (even in the Fall epilogue), and we haven't seen a female one so far. Slate Vesper (talk) 20:07, August 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * I meant in the staff pages Slate. I'm heading out right now so I'll work on them when I get back =) 01:02, August 20, 2012 (UTC)

It is done, Mentor. Hope I didn't mess anything up. =) 12:22, August 20, 2012 (UTC)

Not to spoil anything, but rafiqan is not plural, it's what we use to say two "rafiqs", the plural form would be rifaq for male, and rafiqat for female. Quite late, I know, but I just noticed this conversation. Shrt Fngr Talk 21:20, August 22, 2012 (UTC)

Hmm, well, Arabic isn't my first language, and I studied it many years ago, so I'll defer to your opinion on that matter. If you're sure about it, take Sima's permission and edit out the pages. 00:23, August 23, 2012 (UTC)

Well that's why I said it. Sima, should I do it? Shrt Fngr Talk 09:32, August 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * Err... I'm beginning to wish we'd just stick with Rafiqs. But sure. -- 14:49, August 23, 2012 (UTC)

Fan-fiction
Well. Okay so in fan-fiction stories can you include characters like Desmond? I know you can't really expand an actual character's storyline but, meh.

BoomDraw (talk) 10:33, August 20, 2012 (UTC)

Yes you can. Any details that try to change what's been established in the game's canon material will make the Fanon article "Fan-NonCanon" though. Slate Vesper (talk) 10:48, August 20, 2012 (UTC)

Gunnar Giveaway
Hi Master Sima Yi,

Just following up on the email I sent about the Giveaway. Are you still running it, if so when? Would love an update please! thanks, Peter 23:55, August 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hello! I don't think I have received an email yet, but we still plan on holding a contest, but we have not yet decided when and what about. I have to get some time to catch up with Vatsa first and then I will get back to you. -- 21:07, August 22, 2012 (UTC)

Vandal
Hi Sima, here is a vandal that messed up the Apple of Eden 2 page by inserting nonsense. -- ► Kaloneous ◄♣HelpDesk♣ 22:06, August 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * Done. -- 11:16, August 25, 2012 (UTC)

Spoiler tags
I noticed that you said the wiki doesn't have an official amount of time before a spoiler tag gets removed. Could I make a forum about it? And hopefully, we'll reach an agreement on when to remove them. 20:37, August 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * You don't have to ask my permission to make a forum proposal. -- 20:44, August 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * This was more a way of letting you know what I'm up to. I'll get on with it. 20:48, August 27, 2012 (UTC)

AC3 Outfits
Sima, would you mind taking a look at my sandbox and letting me know whether I could move it to the mainspace? If not, what modifications should I make to it? Thank you =) 14:57, August 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * You can put the images in a gallery so you don't have all those unnecessary empty spaces next to images. -- 15:17, August 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Will do, Mentor. I'll match the categories and names with the corresponding articles for AC2, Brotherhood and Revelations as well. 15:35, August 28, 2012 (UTC)

Connor messed up blades
Omg omg omg omg, mentor, i think i saw connor in the assassin creed III gameplay trainer while hunting, he pulles his hieden blade, but then he disconnected the blade?! Omg. I'm 1000% sure he grabbed the blade out of the hidden partition, if you look closely you'll see it

NikoMarston (talk) 18:38, August 28, 2012 (UTC)

-sarcastic sing-song voice- He knows. 18:39, August 28, 2012 (UTC)

Umm, that's ancient news. It's on the Hidden Blade page too. You can rotate the hidden blade to make it a dagger. 18:40, August 28, 2012 (UTC)

Urge to murder... rising... --Kainzorus Prime Walkie-talkie  19:11, August 28, 2012 (UTC)

Ah well okay i wasn't awared of that, And if you going to threaten me with killing, you're doung a good job posting this at the administrator's talk page, dumb pezzo di merda NikoMarston (talk) 21:31, August 28, 2012 (UTC)

Calling others a piece of shit in Italian doesn't reflect that greatly on yourself either. Slate Vesper (talk) 22:13, August 28, 2012 (UTC) Eh, i think you missing the big difrince between calling someone piece of shit, and threaten someone to murder, just because didn't knew hiddenblades could be used as daggers NikoMarston (talk) 13:59, August 29, 2012 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure everyone here knows that wasn't a real threat. You do know that, right? -.^ 14:20, August 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * Even if he does, I refuse to acknowledge a person with that sort of god-awful spelling and sentence structuring of an overhyped energizer bunny on a sugar rush. Plus, hey look, more fanboys thinking they look smart by pulling a random non-english insult they would have never learned if it wasn't in the game they played. --Kainzorus Prime Walkie-talkie  19:41, August 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * -S-, I'm not defending him, but do you need to be so hostile? I know full well that you're only joking. But other people take jokes differently... 19:45, August 30, 2012 (UTC)

I just thought I'd let you people know I don't give a rat's ass about this discussion. -- 19:53, August 30, 2012 (UTC)

I think we kinda figured it out...gotta admit tho, quite entertaining. 20:42, August 30, 2012 (UTC)

Vandal
This guy is really obsessed with vandalizing the Rosa in Fiore article. 19:25, August 30, 2012 (UTC)

Great minds think alike, Gabe. I came here for this. 19:26, August 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * Blocked. -- 19:53, August 30, 2012 (UTC)

Gunnar
Hey man, any update on gunnar giveaway? Did you get my email?

Peter 21:16, August 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hello! No, I have not yet received an email. However, I will have to redirect you to Vatsa1708 from now on since I will not be on Wikia a lot for the coming months (and haven't been for the past few weeks) or so due to college taking up my time. He's the other bureaucrat on the Wiki. :) -- 21:37, August 30, 2012 (UTC)

Possible Mistake?
Hi Sima, I don't mean to bother you, but I would like to point out what I believe is a mistake on the Connor Kenway page. This may be wrong but the image descripted as traditional mohawk outfit, near the bottom of the artwork section, I believe is wrong. If I remember correctly, Alex Hutchinson stated that this was concept art before the American Revolution setting was decided upon. This was supposed to be a different assassin, based in Chille.

Sorry if I am wrong. If I am, could you provided a source to clarify?Outsider (talk) 19:29, August 31, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm afraid I don't have any sources for any of this. -- 19:56, September 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * Have you removed the image then? Outsider (talk) 20:34, September 3, 2012 (UTC)

A present =)
Thought this might brighten your day a bit. It's for all the hard work and dedication you put into keeping this wiki as awesome as it is. Thank you! (^-^) 17:15, September 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * Ohohoho seems our mentor could relax a bit he seems to be a bit stressed lately missed that old jokes, yes i'm talking to you Sima Also your talk page seem to have recovered from a serious incident created by a user... Enjoy your day Mentor!! You truly deserve it...


 * Well... that is weirdly awesome. XD Thanks dude. Thing is that I just started college and it's taking a bit of a toll on my day to day rhythm. I definitely needed this after the impossibly horrible day I had yesterday, thanks a lot. :) -- 19:58, September 1, 2012 (UTC)

I know exactly how you feel Sima; it takes more than just "a bit of a toll" on my rhythm ;) You're welcome! ^-^ 00:51, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

AC 3 money gone?
Ofcourse this could be ancient news, however i didn't read it anywheee, is it possible that the system of money including lootijg is gone? Because in the trailers i didn't saw any money, and when connor stand next to a body i didn't saw any looting options? Could it be that ubisoft didn't programmed money in the game, or am i seeing blind? NikoMarston (talk) 20:12, September 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * The economic system will return. -- 20:34, September 1, 2012 (UTC)

That's good to hear, succes with your college time :)       NikoMarston (talk) 00:19, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

Correction to Aveline's Voice Actress
I found an article herethat explains that Sarah Natochenny will not be voicing Aveline but rather a different actress. Just thought you should know! ^^Strang3Happ3nings 22:03, September 1, 2012 (UTC)

Lol, this was the very source used for the Sarah Natochenny article. Dammit Kotaku. 00:51, September 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * We should just ban all Kotaku articles from the Wiki. Correction, ban Kotaku from the internet. -- 12:44, September 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * Being the person who collected all the data and wrote out the entire Sarah Natochenny article, and told his friend Ash Ketchum was voicing Aveline, I whole-heartedly second this. 13:53, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

GameStop info
Deae master, not sure if this went through already but. I have some info on ac 3. At gamestop i asked about ac 3 and the manager told me he played some. I asked about templars and he mentioned Benedict Arnold. He said he is not the main templar but one of them. Just thaught you should know. America&#39;s mentor (talk) 01:11, September 5, 2012 (UTC)

For now, we don't have an official source to confirm this information so I'm afraid we can't add it to any articles. Once we have one, you can be sure we'll add it to the corresponding articles. 01:25, September 5, 2012 (UTC)

Hey I just got back on to the wiki, and just wanted to let you know I'll probably be a lot more active now. Thanks. Subject 8 (talk) 02:22, September 5, 2012 (UTC)

missing ACR Edition
hey

Sima(mentor) there is an edition missing in the ACR article: the ottoman edition http://www.computerandvideogames.com/337252/ubisoft-dates-assassins-creed-revelations-ottoman-edition/

--ACsenior (talk) 19:21, September 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * Then add it. And there is no point in changing the date in which you posted this message except from making it fake. -- 19:23, September 8, 2012 (UTC)

The Chain
It seems like you have your hands on the Chain. A massive sigh of relief from me, since I can't get it until it hits comic book stores (if ever)... Just wanted to say "Thank you, and keep up the good work." =) 16:25, September 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * I have... read, The Chain, I don't have an actual physical copy. As such I will not be able to get my hands on any high quality images. -- 18:39, September 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * Something is better than nothing though, right? We can get to work on the articles and add images as they come =) 19:56, September 7, 2012 (UTC)

Image policy
What's our policy on letting other wikis use images uploaded by our users? I've lurked a moment on my native AC wiki and they're blatantly taking and renaming our images with no sign of any sort of credit, or just using them as they are without even a rename. See here. --Kainzorus Prime Walkie-talkie  01:03, September 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * Our policy usually is to politely tell/ask them to source their images and templates back to us. Threatening to report them to Wikia also tends to work, but Wikia is a free license so they aren't breaking any rules. -- 15:38, September 21, 2012 (UTC)

My Talkpage
I was wondering why I didn't recieve the nearly universal white box on my talk page, and how can I correct that. I know you are very busy, and I thank you in advance for any assistance. AlexAdler (talk) 01:53, September 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * You can copy paste it from someone else's talk page by editing that person's whole talk page. -- 15:47, September 21, 2012 (UTC)

AC1 memory pages
I've been thinking that we should create pages for AC1 memories, like we have for the other games. The Animus interface for replaying memories has descriptions and memory images of those, and they're not that different from subsequent games. Thoughts? --Kainzorus Prime Walkie-talkie  02:12, September 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * I have a question, if we were to do them, what would they be called? Memory Block 1 and such? I'm curious is all. -- Teller Words, On my Screen :O 04:43, September 22, 2012 (UTC)

I agree with Kain; it would make our wiki even more comprehensive than it already is. For AC1 memories, we just replace Sequence with Memory Block, and the rest is pretty much the same as the other games. 06:36, September 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * It's not the same though, the rest don't have individual titles like ACII does. -- Teller Words, On my Screen :O 06:39, September 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Number them perhaps? Or come up with a naming system that explains what the memories are? 06:42, September 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * Edit: I've had a look, some of the memories are clearly named in the menu, as they are in the other games, others have generic names. --<font color="#7575DB" face="OCR A" size="3">Kainzorus Prime <font color="#4C99A6">Walkie-talkie  06:50, September 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * I agree that we should make them, and I have since I made the first memory page. Though I never got through with it. We can create a forum where people can list suggestions for a naming system and see which one is the best. We should probably get this done before AC3 comes out. -- 08:32, September 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm sandboxing a memory box for the bottom of the page. Names wouldn't be all that pretty but we'd avoid confusion. I'll post it to the forum when it's done. --<font color="#7575DB" face="OCR A" size="3">Kainzorus Prime <font color="#4C99A6">Walkie-talkie  08:41, September 22, 2012 (UTC)

Timeline & Initiates
Assassin's Creed: Initiates has gotten pretty big, and I think we should make it collapsible like Abstergo Files or 2012 Conversations. As for Timeline, I think some images, and making it collapsible in a similar way would be a good idea. Oh, and you should probably update the Timeline with AC Initiates info when you get the opportunity. Thanks =) 15:20, September 22, 2012 (UTC)

EDIT: It took me a while, but I think I've done it. Can you please review this and let me know if I should transfer it to the mainspace? Thanks 15:55, September 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * I am not going to make the Timeline article collapsible. I already tried that and it didn't work out. I will add the remaining info from Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles, Assassin's Creed: The Chain and Assassin's Creed: Initiates when I have the time. And propose the collapsible on the Initiates talk page with Yay, Nay and Comments sections. I don't own this Wiki, so I don't make decisions by myself. -- 21:37, September 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * Done; please vote here. As always, I appreciate your input. =) 00:56, September 23, 2012 (UTC)

Altaïr and ezio
Safety and peace master

I'm in a discussion on a forum wether altaïr is familly of ezio audotire in ANY kind of way

I know that desmond has both of the DNA in his blood, and that altaïr is not directly familly, But is he not familly of ezio in any ither way "not speaking of adam and eve" but was altaïr's ancestor not dominic auditore? Or something like that. Or do i have been fooled? Is altaïr familly of ezio in any way but adam and eve, or are they completly not?

I AM THE SOLUTION! (talk) 10:06, September 23, 2012 (UTC)

Ezio and Altair are only related through the fact that theiy share a common descendant: Desmond. Also, a bit ironic when the "solution" asks a question. =P "altaïr's ancestor not dominic auditore" Who is this dominic? Domenico Auditore was the Great-Great-Great-Grandfather of Ezio and in no way related to Altair. 10:13, September 23, 2012 (UTC)

/Yoink.

Al and Ezio aren't related to each other. The bloodlines were joined through subsequent generations, eventually ending up at Desmond. --<font color="#7575DB" face="OCR A" size="3">Kainzorus Prime <font color="#4C99A6">Walkie-talkie  10:19, September 23, 2012 (UTC)

Aah i understand know, i missspelled demonico, lol, And "the solution" was just a small joke lol, But im rather suprised, and a little bit of dissapointed, why spending time in a theory fr bloodlines, Why just don't let things run their course? Why didn't ubisoft made it easy, and let it be

Umar

Altaïr

Darim/sef

Several people i do not know

Giovannie auditore

Ezio auditore

More people i do not know

Connor

Still people i do not know

William miles

Desmond

Why just not do it this way, For me and i think a lot other people it would have been easier this way, and it is cool

And now comes my second question

Since desmond have both Altaïr's and Ezio's DNA in his blood, What is the bloodline of connor? Is altaïr or ezio related to connor? Or does desmond sinply have also connor's DNA in his blood?

I AM THE SOLUTION! (talk) 11:19, September 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * Aquilus, Altaïr, Ezio and Connor have no direct relation to each other. Their bloodlines converge at some point into Desmond. They didn't do this the 'easy way' because the 'easy way' isn't realistic. -- 11:29, September 23, 2012 (UTC)

Problem with profile page
Hey Sima so I was editing my profile and I noticed a error so I went back into editing and the previous stuff I wrote was not in the editing section but I still wrote it and now it looks messed up. AssassinCreedFreak122 (talk) 12:36, September 23, 2012 (UTC)

The deacon part 1
Safety and peace master

I just this seccond made an edit to the page "the deacon part 1". The edit contains the fact. Hat the apprentice should have been killed. For breaking a tenet, Stay your blade of the flesh of an innocent, However. Someone removed it, Why? My information was clear, and reliable I AM THE SOLUTION! (talk) 15:00, September 24, 2012 (UTC)

Nesty removed it because it had poor grammar. --<font color="#7575DB" face="OCR A" size="3">Kainzorus Prime <font color="#4C99A6">Walkie-talkie  15:04, September 24, 2012 (UTC)

My grammarfaults are no reason to delete information what has to stay there, At least correct the typo, if everyone is just going to delete anything with an grammar fault, When how does this wikia will keep together? I AM THE SOLUTION! (talk) 16:17, September 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * It wasn't just grammar. The fact that the Apprentice "should have been killed" was opinion, not fact. 16:20, September 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * It doesn't "have" to stay there. Plus what you added is not factual. It was an accident, and as you can recall, Ezio also killed Tarik, who turned out not to be an enemy. Ezio also caused the deaths of numerous civilians when inciting the riot at the arsenal and when blowing up the ammunitions deposit in Cappadocia. The tenets didn't seem to be as held in high regard by the Renaissance. -- 16:21, September 24, 2012 (UTC)

Ah ofcourse, i'm sorry that i was too quick to judge, but slowly to correct myself, i just thought it was in need to put there :] I AM THE SOLUTION! (talk) 20:23, September 24, 2012 (UTC)

Ton of New AC3 & Some liberation Info
Sima, I need you to read this blog I made. Don't skip over any of it; read all the links. There is aton of info we need to add to this wiki; some gameplay stuff too. Can you read it soon? We really need to update stuff. [http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:The.Outsider/Tons_of_New_AC3_Info_%26_Gameplay! Please read all links; they contain a ton of info!] Outsider (talk) 20:57, September 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * I have already read it, but I'm not the only one working on this Wiki. I don't have as much free time as everybody else, and I've already got the Timeline article that requires my attention. You and others can just as well add the information as I can. -- 21:09, September 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * Didn't mean to bug you; just thought you might like to know. You are in charge, so I gathered it was best to tell you, in person. Outsider (talk) 21:01, September 25, 2012 (UTC)

Twitch TV Embed Interest?
Hey there Vatsa,

My name is Jorge and I'm on Wikia's Community Development team. I actually want to reach out to gauge your wiki's potential interest in embedding some Twitch TV content. To that end I'm contacting both you and fellow admin Vatsa.

To give some background, Wikia is interested in working with Twitch to get some native embeds for interested wikis. Twitch provides live-streaming of games, from simple lets-plays to massive tournaments and competitive events. Embedding could allows users to easily find streaming content or get together to chat about particular events. If the wiki is interested, you could also have you very own wiki channel/group to stream content to users, make your own show, etc.

Do you think this is something the AC wiki community might be interested in? If so, how would you like to use it (home-page embed, its standalone page with just links or an actual embed? something else? Producing your own show? Etc.) Either way, let me know your thoughts by leaving a message on my talk page. Also, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Best, Jorge (profile)•(talk) 21:34, September 24, 2012 (UTC)

Is this legit? (link) and this (link)? -- ► Kaloneous ◄♣HelpDesk♣ 04:53, September 25, 2012 (UTC)

Actually it isn't but it is very well done nonetheless, sorry for the false alarm. -- ► Kaloneous ◄♣HelpDesk♣ 04:55, September 25, 2012 (UTC)

Apprentice
Sima, apparently recruits do return in AC3 so may i add the era icon in that page?

Don't believe me ? source

And if you'd like to let me edit that page.

Yours sincerely. 08:01, September 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * This is a Wiki, you don't need to ask me permission to edit a page... Not for any page. As long as your edits abide by the rules and policies. -- 08:04, September 26, 2012 (UTC)

And Sima is there anyways to create new categories because i've been thinking about creating one which entitled "Naval Missions" because both Ghost of war & A Dangerous Secret are played on the Aquila 11:09, September 26, 2012 (UTC)

If you really want to do it, get permission then create a category in this link and the output should look like this. Sorry to interrupt. 11:23, September 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * I personally don't think that's a very good idea, since we already put all memories for each game into a category. I don't really think there is a need to have a separate category for naval memories. -- 11:30, September 26, 2012 (UTC)

The Chain images
Sorry about that Sima, didn't know there were specific rules about comic images. I'll get to work on fixing them up and uploading over the previous versions if that's okay. 12:49, September 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * Excuse me, but why did you revert my changes to the Achilles page? If this is a community, shouldn't the community be able to post reputable facts? My Character infobox was perfectly fine and accurate. Do I have to have permission to change character pages? --Jjacobmartinn (talk) 15:55, September 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * Of course you don't need to have permission to edit a page. The problem is that the infobox unnecessarily stretched the page, and that there is not a lot of relevant info to put in it at this point. Not every page needs to have an infobox. :) Also, the official title is Assassin's Creed III, not Assassin's Creed 3. -- 16:05, September 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * That makes a lot of sense, actually. I suppose just posting the photo to the page would have sufficed. Alright, good to know, I'm relatively new. Thanks Sima. --Jjacobmartinn (talk) 16:12, September 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, I uploaded the image to the Wiki so that Gabriel Auditore could render it and upload that rendered version, but anyone who was not on the IRC could not have known.

I've been recently updating images in Brotherhood memories, upscaling 1440x808 images to 1920x1080. Vatsa takes issue with this however, saying that it's unnecessary, given that the thumbnails are only 250px. I respectfully disagree.

First, it shouldn't matter what size the thumbnails in the articles are, people open the thumbnails to have a look at the actual image. Everyone likes highest quality and resolution possible when it comes to images, and I feel we should provide as such. Secondly, most of the images I've replaced so far lacked categories and information box - I've been adding it as I went. Thirdly, some memory pages still had blurry, cropped pictures uploaded by other users than V or myself, and so I am adding the new images there as I go.

We agreed to come to you for a second opinion on the matter rather than argue about it. --<font color="#7575DB" face="OCR A" size="3">Kainzorus Prime <font color="#4C99A6">Walkie-talkie  11:31, September 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't have much of a say on this, obviously, but I agree with Kain. As a user long before I became a member, I was very disappointed when I would click for a larger scale picture and it wouldn't be a high quality image. I think, if Kain wants to upsale the pictures, let him. It always helps. --Jjacobmartinn (talk) 17:51, September 27, 2012 (UTC)

 * If -S- is willing to spend his free time on doing this, I don't see a reason why he shouldn't. While it isn't extremely beneficial, I don't see a reason to actively oppose this. -- 11:30, September 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thank you Sima. I found out that I apparently had done most of the image upscalling already, as Vatsa's done an excellent job with the rest of the memories, though a few remain with low res jpegs Sixteen uploaded way back when. I'll get on these as soon as I have the replacements. --<font color="#7575DB" face="OCR A" size="3">Kainzorus Prime <font color="#4C99A6">Walkie-talkie  15:20, September 29, 2012 (UTC)

Connor article
Could you rename Connor Kenway to Connor? It's rename-locked to admins, and I've already removed any mention of a surname with an informative edit-summary. Thanks. 16:09, September 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * So the name he adopts isn't Connor Kenway? Just Connor? --Jjacobmartinn (talk) 17:48, September 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * No. Undo your edit, Gabriel. We do not have any official source that says his name is not Connor Kenway, even though it indeed isn't. -- 20:12, September 27, 2012 (UTC)

Assassin's Creed III article

AC3 Fan Video
Hey, I don't know if you've seen this, but you should really watch this fan-made film on AC3, its really cool. I don't wanna advertise or anything, but they could really use donations to get the film going, is there any way you could show the site or something?

If not, I'm sorry.

Fort Wolcott
Hey Sima, I found a video from GT.TV on Fort Wolcott, with some new info on the mission. Alex Hutchinson pretty much said; "It’s part of a loop with a character called Peg-Leg who believes he knows the secret of Captain Kidd’s treasure, and if you find treasures for him and trade them in, he’ll give you maps to secret hidden locations " (along those lines). And Robert Faulkner referred to someone as Lucky-limb I think? He says he was a convicted pirate in prison, so his scroll would be in his cell. I'd like to add to the Fort Wolcott page, but I'm not sure how to word this info appropriately and under what guidlines. So I was wondering if you could help me out, or feel free to change it yourself. SGrk69 (talk) 00:54, September 29, 2012 (UTC)

Animi Training Program
Hey there Sima, since you removed the mentions to AC3 and AC3L from the page, would you mind if I make one called "Abstergo Entertainment" to incorporate the relevant multiplayer storyline there, which was what I was previously using the Animi Training Program for.

I'll make sure to use a Youmay template so that people don't confuse Abstergo Industries for the newest page, and I'll ask Vatsa if he can use VatsaAWB to remove all the broken links, as it would be much quicker. Slate Vesper (talk) 01:18, October 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't really know... has there been a lot of information on that yet? I was thinking of revamping the Abstergo Industries page some time in the near future, perhaps we could make a separate big section called Abstergo Entertainment, since it's more like a division of Abstergo? -- 09:09, October 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, to be fair, that would also mean that the Animi Training Program page would have to be incorporated/expanded there, because then it would keep all the "stages" of the multiplayer story elements in one place. But, if you're willing to do that, I have no objections. Slate Vesper (talk) 18:49, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

Transparent thumb backgrounds
Hi Sima, long time. Just quickly, I've noticed that on all the MP character pages, people are avoiding putting a thumb box around the images because it simply places the character on a grey background. Whilst this is not ideal, it is certainly a lot better than just having some dude with a rifle floating in the air on our articles.

Since you have access to MediaWiki:Common.css, would you mind inserting this coding:

div.thumbinner {background-color:transparent;} div.thumb {border-color:[grey, white, black, you choose];}

That should make the thumb background transparent (much like our character infoboxes are) and, subsequently, cure us of our flying people endemic. I'm at work right now, so I probably wont be around when/if you test this for me, so if you can get back to me on my talk page with a report on whether it was successful or not, I would appreciate it. Thanks. -- 14:29, October 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you for making the change. Unfortunately Vatsa changed your text before I got a chance to check to see if it worked, so the thumbs have been set to show as grey (which kinda defeats the point of what I was trying to test). I'll drop a message on his talk page to revert it for me, at least until I've had a chance to look at it. -- 08:23, October 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that, my cache hadn't loaded properly so the new thumb wasn't showing. Take a look and tell me what you think? -- 08:54, October 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * It unfortunately still looks the same to me. -- 09:17, October 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * How odd. It should look like this, with a slightly misted, but effectively transparent background in the thumb. - 09:32, October 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * It now works fine for me. Looks a lot better. I may try to get the remaining grey parts of the Wiki's appearance to match that new color. -- 09:23, October 21, 2012 (UTC)

Massive Error
Hey Sima Yi dude I found a very very very huge error on this wikia. Specially being Ratonhnhaké:ton. Connor Kenway is the appropriate name to be used for the bio. You used the following example incorrectly "For example Suleiman the Magnificent is called Suleiman I. Real names have always taken precedence over the names people are most known by".

The Magnificent aspect of the name is an epithet attached to a persons name and not an adopted name. Generally the Epithet was not even used during the persons life at all while an adopted name is. Not to mention I don't even think the Ottoman Empire used Roman Numerals to denote successors sharing the same names.

I made a post on the talk page for it which included some examples.

EDIT: Forgot to sign LancelotLoire (talk) 10:07, October 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * I have already replied to this on the talk page, and there has been a community vote in which the majority voted Yay. I am not going to change it now unless the majority all changes their minds all of a sudden and make that publicly known. Besides, "Connor" is only the name he went by among the colonists; he was still Ratonhnhaké:ton when he was with his fellow Native Americans. -- 10:09, October 19, 2012 (UTC)

Wrong synch animus?
Safety and peace master

I recently begsn playing ac bh. And i noticed that if you fail the mission where you have to save pietro, you see a cutscene where michelleto kills pietro with a speer, Im really frustated with this. Because i thought the animus only allowed to see the memorys how they have been in that time. How is it possible in ezio's position. That he could save pietro. But that there was also an possibillity that michaelletto killed pietro? I&#39;m nothing but a blade in a crowd (talk) 20:56, October 19, 2012 (UTC)

Connor picture
I'm sorry, but this is an actual render from a promotional poster, not taken from any video. And it's layered, not manually cut like the other one, which seems to be taken from some background image (the blue reflection is still there as well as many other artifacts). And better quality is not in question, since the other one has been magnified and therefore you can see it pixelized when in full size, while mine is not. Lower resolution doesn't mean lower quality. Alexrd (talk) 20:59, October 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * If this is an official render, why did you not correctly source the image to where you got it from? -- 21:03, October 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * But I did. It came from an Ubisoft FTP. It's press material. Alexrd (talk) 21:51, October 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * Sorry to interrupt, but i like the old one. The one which wasn't correctly sourced was good, but it looked too real. The original one looks much better even if it is slightly pixelated. Trever09 (talk) 21:31, October 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * You still have gotten it from SOMEWHERE. "Ubisoft" is not an acceptable source when dealing with promotional material. I have thus far seen more people reverting your edit than being in favor of it. Please stop reverting the edit and causing edit wars. We will get a proper render from the game when it is out in 9 days. -- 22:01, October 20, 2012 (UTC)

Connors name?
Is there a reason that I missed that all the pages are calling Connor by his Mowhawk name of Ratonhnhaké:ton, instead of Connor? Anybody who comes here for info on AC III is probably not going to know who that is. Even his page is named that.

 * There was a community vote, and "Connor" should redirect to Ratonhnhaké:ton. Slate Vesper (talk) 03:21, October 21, 2012 (UTC)

It's Connor
Nobody who is new and sees Connor's Mowhawk name is probably not going to know who that is. I still can't spell that, but another point is that it was his childhood name. He left it behind and became Connor at some point, most people in game will refer to him as such, and in interviews you never hear Alex Hutcherson calling him by his unspellible Redexx- You have no idea who you&#39;re dealing with (talk) 12:09, October 21, 2012 (UTC)Redexx
 * This is the reason our wiki exists. To inform people about the AC Universe. They're not going to learn that Connor's birth name is Ratonhnhaké:ton until the type in "Connor" and get redirected, are they? -- 12:11, October 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * What is your point, Redexx? There was a majority on the vote to change it to Ratonhnhaké:ton. I am not going to just change it. If they can't find out that Connor and Ratonhnhaké:ton are the same person on the actual Wiki then they are doing something terribly wrong. Also, you can't say that "most people in game will refer to him as such" since none of us played the entire game. He is always called Ratonhnhaké:ton by his fellow natives. -- 12:16, October 21, 2012 (UTC)

Is there a link to that voting page? I want to see the opinions. I do think there should be a recount on the actual release of the game, though.

Ok, fine. I dont like it, butbi can see the majority has its weird reasoning.

DIA Satellite Accident
Hi Sima. I agree with you that everything Ubisoft has said and shown regarding Daniel's involvment in a "Denver incident" indicates it is the DIA Satellite Accident he was involved in, but you know our Sourcing policy; It must be explicitly stated. Unfortunately, 'a guy who knew a guy, who knew a guy, who worked for Ubisoft' is not an explicit source.

If we can get explicit confirmation then there is no issue in including the information, but until then the most we should have is that Daniel Cross was involved in an incident in Denver (making no mention of DIA) and let the reader draw their own conclusions. -- 12:09, October 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * I am not stating it to be a source, and Richard Farrese is the main writer for Initiates. I am merely pointing out that due to our sourcing policy we are withholding ourselves from this information which we all know to be true, just for the sake of it not being explicitly mentioned, which I am disturbed by. They will not give us explicit information seeing as we are still a part of the community just like everyone else, but they do acknowledge that it's obvious. We are also pointing out that the woman at the end of The Chain is Nadya, so I do not see how this is a different case. -- 12:13, October 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * I know who Richard Farrese is. I've actually asked for an explicit source for this women being Nadya as well, but have received no response, so I expect sufficient changes so as to make that article comply with our current policy will be made in due course? The reason information needs to be explicitly stated is because, if it isn't, we open ourselves to the arguement of 'just how obvious, is obvious'; you're definition of obvious is likely to be very different to mine, or Vatsa's, or Slate's, or anybody else. At the end of the day, the Wiki deals in facts and explicit information, and we have to simply work with what we are given, not what was intended to be given. -- 09:22, October 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm still not comfortable with that. Our duty is to provide all information, and when the Ubisoft developers acknowledge something but can't and won't make a public source out of this, we should not be limited by that. I'm reluctant to remove traces of Nadya Orelov being the elderly lady for that very reason. -- 10:11, October 22, 2012 (UTC)

Possible new render?
So I fished this from the depths of the interwebs. A few touch-ups in photoshop and I think it would make an acceptable infobox render.

Launch Pack
Please keep the launch pack in the spot that we placed it. For the record, we brought this up with the admin Vatsa and he gave us permission to place it where we did. For this conversation please view here. Thanks. - Wagnike2 (talk) 22:36, October 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * This is not a decision Vatsa decided with me on and thus I do not have to share his point of view. The only thing he says there is that it is fine to place it on the main page, not that any place will suffice. I am not okay with favoring it over the news section in regard to it having the top spot. -- 22:40, October 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * Don't really see why 'you' get to dictate it's positioning, we had an agreement with Vatsa that we could place it on the main page in the position that we decided. But it's perfectly fine where it is. - Wagnike2 (talk) 14:24, October 30, 2012 (UTC)

Release Date Pt 2

 * Of course it'd be better if you just wait a bit more, but if you do edit stuff, at least make it detailed and long like it's supposed to and how it's on other articles.

 * No. No, no, no, no, a hundred times no. :( Those things are abominations and will be deleted again as soon as either Vatsa or Kain gets their hands on the game and uploads HD pictures. Please don't bother with them, they are eyesores and they only cause us more work in the long term. -- 07:33, October 30, 2012 (UTC)

Time To Play Opportunity
Hey Sima Yi,

Wikia is rolling out a fun new initiative for the holiday season called “Time to Play” where we ask our wikis what page they’re most proud of. We want to know which page you would want to have represent. There will be an official blog going out on Nov. 1 but we wanted to reach out to you early and see if you were interested in participating now.

If you wanted to participate, a “Time to Play” badge would go up on the right rail of the mainpage that links users to the page that you choose, while the footer will live on that same page that links to hub pages eg. http://www.wikia.com/Entertainment for Time to Play goodies. You can see how the badge looks by clicking here and how the footer will appear by clicking here.

We will feature Assassin's Creed Wiki on http://www.wikia.com/Wikia in one the three biggest spots that we reserved for “Time to Play” participants on a rotating basis, as well as a feature on the hubs.

Let me know if you have any questions, I hope you decide to participate!

 * Hey Master Sima!
 * I just wanted to jump in and respond for Jorge. The opportunity is until the end of the year, so once you guys decide on an article, we'd be happy to put it live for you guys. Just drop a message on Jorge's talk page!

Lucy Legacy section
The thing about Lucy was in Assassin&apos;s Creed III, not extended universe stuff. I understand if you don&apos;t think it&apos;s important enough, but I found it very strange that all present-day characters were suddenly aware of her betrayal when it was never given much attenion in Revelations except in DLC. If anyone happens to know how they found out (maybe it was Desmond exploring the Lost Archives), I&apos;d love to know, but so far it feels like a continuity error. Yrusama (talk) 19:51, October 31, 2012 (UTC)


 * I didn&apos;t say "extended universe," I said out-of-universe. Mentioning "Assassin&apos;s Creed III" is an out-of-universe reference and is not written from an in-universe perspective. But yes, it is weird how they just magically know. -- 20:34, October 31, 2012 (UTC)


 * I think we can chalk this up to the retcon at the start - since Desmond didn&apos;t wake up when they were parked by the Temple, but some time before, he could have told them on the way there. --<font color="#7575DB" face="OCR A" size="3">Kainzorus Prime <font color="#4C99A6">Walkie-talkie  21:29, October 31, 2012 (UTC)

Aveline's Birth Year
I found an article stating Aveline's birth year but I don't know if it's a legit source or not. Usually, this kind of info is on Kotaku or IGN or another VG website. Also, would her birth year be considered a spoiler?  TranquilTempest Qu'est-ce que c'est? 23:22, October 31, 2012 (UTC)


 * Put it on there. The game is now released. -- 23:29, October 31, 2012 (UTC)


 * So this is a legit source? This is the only website with such a claim... TranquilTempest Qu'est-ce que c'est? 23:32, October 31, 2012 (UTC)


 * They wouldn't just make it up, they have to check if it's correct before publishing the article. Is there nobody with the game who can confirm it? -- 23:41, October 31, 2012 (UTC)


 * I've seen the game played through myself from beginning to end; I never saw a date concerning her birth year, just the years when an important event occurred... I remember Kotaku making the mistake of saying that Aveline appeared in AC 3 rather than the other way around... TranquilTempest Qu'est-ce que c'est? 23:43, October 31, 2012 (UTC)


 * They wouldn't be Kotaku if they were performing proper journalism. Let's just wait and find out more first then. -- 23:49, October 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * LOL, alright, we'll wait...shouldn't take too long. Based off the beginning sequence that I saw, she doesn't look as old as the author of that article claims her to be.... TranquilTempest Qu'est-ce que c'est? 23:54, October 31, 2012 (UTC)

Hey. If I remember correctly, Connor's mom was trained by Achilles. Would that be considered trivia or should it be added to her biography or list of skills?  TranquilTempest Qu'est-ce que c'est? 17:34, November 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, the Clan Mother said that Achilles "helped" her. It doesn't specifically say he trained her. I don't think it's right to assume anything yet. -- 17:38, November 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah, okay. I just wasn't sure if I had heard correctly. Do we know any of the voice actors yet? Tsio's VA sounds very familiar, as does Sam Adams'... TranquilTempest Qu'est-ce que c'est? 17:42, November 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yup, they are on their pages. Kaniehti:io was voiced by Kaniehtiio Horn. Samuel Adams I can't remember. -- 17:44, November 1, 2012 (UTC)

Username ideas?
Hello, Master Sima Yi,

I've always wanted to join this wiki, but due to my lack of creativity, I can't seem to come up with a username with an..."assassin flavor". I would much appreciate it if you could give me some ideas that you have for a cool username with that type of flavor.

I hope this doesn't annoy you. 71.53.205.8 21:43, November 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * Stabby McStabStab. --<font color="#7575DB" face="OCR A" size="3">Kainzorus Prime <font color="#4C99A6">Walkie-talkie  21:47, November 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * Creativity doesn't come to me in high doses, and not in high quantities either... Bear in mind that you can use your account on every Wiki on Wikia, so it doesn't have to have an "Assassin flavour" to it. Maybe you can give it a "Templar flavour"... ;) -- 21:49, November 1, 2012 (UTC)

Trivia or Bio info?
Where should I add the fact that *SPOILER* Aveline is a descendant of Eve? To her bio or Trivia? We still don't know if she's an ancestor of Desmond or not, so I won't ask about that...  TranquilTempest Qu'est-ce que c'est? 22:51, November 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, the game also doesn't outright say that Eve is Aveline's ancestor either... the game just makes the implication to it. Doesn't it? I only saw the ending. -- 22:52, November 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * How much of the ending? You saw the part where her stepmother was trying to open the seal but couldn't because she didn't have the right DNA, right? When Aveline goes to Chichen Itza, there are TWCB temple ruins where her DNA activates the puzzles to get each half of the giant artifact as it does with the seal. I guess if this info were on her page, it'd say "It is implied that Aveline was a descendant of Eve." It's also interesting to note that the amulet she wore around her neck looks exactly like the one Connor took from Lee and buried... TranquilTempest Qu'est-ce que c'est? 23:07, November 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * That still makes it only speculation, and I'm afrait we can't put that on there. The message at the end of the game may just have been meant for a particular player of the product, for all we know. The whole game is just very vague. I agree that it's very likely Aveline is meant to be Eve's descendant, but as long as this isn't explicitly stated... -- 23:11, November 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, I realized too that the game is very vague, like they didn't want the story to become too complicated yet a lot of it connects to AC3...well, it is an Abstergo product and they're testing the waters for a female protagonist--and a colored one at that....I'll guess we'll leave it alone until more info comes out about it. I wonder if Aveline would show Connor the amulet she found...hm. That's a completely different thought...  TranquilTempest Qu'est-ce que c'est? 23:17, November 1, 2012 (UTC)

I would like to make a request to have the blog page at the following link deleted.

http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Frozenchroma/A_Note_On_the_Faction_Auditore_Infobox_(NOT_A_RELIGIOUS_ARGUMENT,_THANK_YOU)

It was meant as an honest inquiry, but several people started arguing over, well, lets just say a sensitive topic such as religion (However, I will take responsibility on the fact that I did instigate it some). I then changed the name of the blog post to clarify, but this did not work so I then deleted the post's content so no one could read it anymore. Finally Jasca Ducato locked the comments because I had started to much trouble, which I did (I apologize for that). Now, it is just an empty blog post and its only purpose is to sit there, be tacky, and be a waste of space. Thanks for reading.

George Washington - article.
I was wondering what I didn't do right on the George Washington article. I looked at the example page and I thought I held true to it. Also, why aren't the images used, anymore? My apologies if I did it all completely with error. Roger Murtaugh (talk) 14:38, November 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * You didn't do it all completely with error. You looked at the examples set by other articles which is a very good thing, but the main problem is that you made too many sections and used too many images causing the page to be very crowded. For all other articles the image size is always 250px as well. I do not know who removed the images, but I think it would be because they are YouTube images and they will get removed inevitably anyways. My advise would be to use less sections, or make the sections a lot bigger, and using some quotes also helps to make the pages look neater. :) -- 14:44, November 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * Ah, that's what I assumed when I went over other pages after mine was marked for revamping. It's a shame about the images, though. I don't know where to get them other than that. Roger Murtaugh (talk) 17:12, November 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * Also, where is a place to get images that can be allowed to be added to the Wiki? Roger Murtaugh (talk) 05:59, November 4, 2012 (UTC)


 * Any image is allowed as long as it's relevant to AC and is properly sourced, but us staff members would appreciate it more if people simply did not add low quality YouTube images because they will be replaced in about a month, after either Vatsa or Kain start to upload images to the memory articles. They can get HD images, and thus they will replace all those low quality YouTube images that have been previously added. It will be more hard work for us to find and track all those low quality images and then delete them all, and we'd rather avoid all that. We have seen this happen before with Brotherhood and Revelations, and it's just too much hard work in the long term. We understand that people are hyped up to add all these images, but they don't take into account that they will be deleted later on and that they give others more work in the process. -- 10:46, November 4, 2012 (UTC)


 * Ah, I didn't know that. I thought they were good enough quality. My apologies to the staff. Roger Murtaugh (talk) 19:14, November 4, 2012 (UTC)

Image deletion
I mean absolutely no offense, but when you said the reason for deletion of the "Gaspard Aiming" pic was "Yes, I deleted this for no reason. Please upload it again!", were you being sarcastic? Because I thought I had done something wrong with the upload, not that it had been deleted. Would you mind telling me your reason for deleting it, because I dind't see a similar image. Please accept my sincere apologies. AlphaPack (talk) 09:42, November 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, that was sarcasm. It's because nowadays I just spent my days deleting people's images because they were either very low quality or were unsourced. And for every image I deleted, it just comes back up alongside another one. You'll forgive me for being angry at you about this, but with all the extra work I have to do because people don't bother reading the image policy I'm just getting mad. As for your image, the image was of obvious low quality and low resolution and we don't allow images like that. I do not know whether or not it was sourced, but images have to be sourced as well as you can read in the image policy. -- 09:47, November 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * That's certainly understandable, so no hard feelings. It was sourced, but I can most likely find it in better quality.
 * AlphaPack (talk) 09:56, November 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * unsolicited and unwanted word of advice: if you can't cap ingame images in highres yourself, don't bother searching the net, don't bother uploading and let those who can do it for you. i mostly just lurk here but i'm just amused at all these attempts to get shit quality images up without even bothering to learn quality control or the policies here - there are plenty of examples across the articles already. this wiki will be better off once those people with the capabilities for uploading good images come into play.

MeDeoPal blog
Hi Sima, I was wondering if you would be able to make some slight changes to MeDeoPal's blog post, so that the spoilers he has posted in the first line of his blog get pushed down and off the page of "popular blogs". He seems to believe that, since he put the word "spoiler" above his text, that automatically means people will avoid reading what is below by default, and not carry on reading as is human nature. All I'd like is a coupe of buffer lines to shove that text down a wee bit. thanks in advance. -- 15:03, November 5, 2012 (UTC)

Navigation Bar
Hi, I'm an admin at another Wiki (Legend of Dragoon) and was wondering how you got both your "wiki rules" and "maintenance" on the "On the Wiki" section of your Navigation bar, I would like to do the same.

Thank you for your time! LODFan (talk) 05:09, November 6, 2012 (UTC)

Nickname/Adopted name
Sima, I don't really think that we should be adding Connor just because it's easier. People who have played AC3 can easily recognize who "Ratonhnhaké:ton" is, and the whole point in his article is to inform those who aren't aware of him.

Even if it is an adopted name, AC3 is mainly focuses around Ratonhnhaké:ton's efforts to preserve his tribe, so I personally feel that by trying to swap his name out for something that might be a bit more "newbie-friendly" is just pointless. He doesn't even take on his father's last name of Kenway, so why stick with Connor when we can have his Native American name, which has more of a meaning behind it? Slate Vesper (talk) 14:25, November 6, 2012 (UTC)


 * Because it is the name used to refer to him everywhere in the actual game. You say that we shouldn't be adding Connor 'just' because it's easier, but you are also saying that we should use his name Connor 'just' because it has more of a meaning. Even though both have a meaning. I don't see what his father's last name has to do with this.

But whatever, I am not in the mood for a debate. Go use Ratonhnhaké:ton and I'll keep my opinion to myself from now on. -- 14:29, November 6, 2012 (UTC)

I said we should be using Ratonhnhaké:ton because it has more meaning, not Connor. Ratonhnhaké:ton is his Mohawk birth name, his article is under Ratonhnhaké:ton, and it has more symbolism to it (the Life Scratcher). I mentioned his father's last name because society typically goes by the name which has both a forename and a surname, but "Connor" doesn't, it's rather plain, and Ratonhnhaké:ton shows more of his culture.

Even you say yourself that we should realistically be using "Gilberto" for La Volpe, even though he's mentioned as La Volpe in the games and most often in the books, but while Connor is used in the game mostly, it's only because he himself decides that it'd just be easier for the Colonists to say. He is referred to as Ratonhnhaké:ton in his tribe and starts out by trying to use that name for himself (Achilles is the one to give him "Connor"), and he spends most of the game fighting for the safety of the Mohawk.

Personally, I think "the Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton" looks better than "the Assassin Connor". Slate Vesper (talk) 14:38, November 6, 2012 (UTC)
