Re:9/11
Oh, yeah, you're right. Sorry about that, I knew that was the date Allende was deposed, but I also thought that was a reference to the 9/11 Attacks. Although, there's also a part where the female voice is naming dates where something bad (sometimes, confirmed to be orchestrated by the Templars) occured, (i.e, 1431 - execution of Joan of Arc; 1939 - beginning of WW2, etc...), and 2001 is named. AllianceScoutAiothai (talk) 10:45, August 6, 2015 (UTC)

True, but it's speculative to say that the Templars orchestrated it, as it's not outright stated. -- 12:39, August 6, 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, I understand. AllianceScoutAiothai (talk) 22:21, August 6, 2015 (UTC)

Creator of the Creed's Maxim
I've never read the Assassin's Creed Encyclopedia so I don't if this is true, but did Hassan I Sabbah coin the phrase "Nothing is True, Everything is Permitted" Abelzorus Prime (talk) 19:58, August 6, 2015 (UTC)

It's not in the Encyclopedia, but he was the real person who coined the term so there's no need to assume different. -- 12:04, August 7, 2015 (UTC)


 * Are you sure? Isn't that just something stated in the novel Alamut and by Friedrich Nietzsche?--Bovkaffe (talk) 13:19, August 7, 2015 (UTC)

Yes, it's from the novel. However, Patrice Désilets' inspiration for Assassin's Creed came from reading Alamut. -- 13:22, August 7, 2015 (UTC)

So it's safe to assume Hassan I Sabbah came up with the Assassins' Creed. Abelzorus Prime (talk) 13:45, August 7, 2015 (UTC)

You can accept it as true yes, but there's no AC-related source for it. -- 13:49, August 7, 2015 (UTC)

Anyway the main reason I started this convo was because it's on the Creed page, so it might be better if that info is removed. Abelzorus Prime (talk) 13:53, August 7, 2015 (UTC)

Rouille
Since you tend to know these things, could you tell me what Rouille's interrogation in The Jacobin Club was about? He receives the location Luxembourg Palace from the prisoner, before telling Germain that King Louis has been plotting against the revolution.--Bovkaffe (talk) 19:19, August 7, 2015 (UTC)

I'm afraid I have no clue either. -- 19:59, August 7, 2015 (UTC)

Theories
Hi, Master!

I've been working on this image for some time now, and i want to know what you think about it, or if you have any suggestion/correction. Oh, and sorry if i had any gramma mistake.

Just that, greetings! DipsonDP (talk) 23:47, August 12, 2015 (UTC)

Well I would like to add to this that Desmond and Clay are only stated to be descendants of Adam, not Eve, and that Galina is stated nowhere to be a descendant of Eve (if her mother was talking to Eve than she wouldn't have been reliving her memories. This is not factual). There's a reason I dropped biology though. I'm not quite sure I understand it anyway, only a person with a full line of males from you to Adam and Eve has a part of their DNA? So someone with no female ancestors in their bloodline? If Adam or Eve is your descendant, you carry part of their DNA with you. What makes Desmond so special, is that he has a lot of ancestors with high concentrations of Precursor DNA, resulting in Desmond having a significantly higher concentration than your average human. We know nothing about Galina's potential Precursor lineage, so I find it hard to comment on that. -- 08:34, August 13, 2015 (UTC)

The Female's DNA is ALWAYS passed, no matter if is the descendant is a boy or a girl, the "X" is always present, and everyone who descends from Eve, has her DNA, Including Clay and Desmond. The thing about the male's DNA is that the "Y" is only passed down when the child (Abel or Seth) is a male, because women's chromosomes are 100% provided by the mother. So, to get the "Y" passed down, a full chain of males is necesary. That's why we can't play as a female in Desmond's genetic tree. And that does not means that Desmond's ancestors could not have daughter, if there is a son before or after, it does not matter. Example: Marcello and Flavia. Jennifer and Haytham. What made Desmond and Clay special was that they had Adam's DNA, not just Eve's one like everyone who descends from them... but not only Adam and Eve, as you mentioned, Clay and Desmond had a lot of ancestor with high concentratioN of Precursor DNA, Adam was just "One more to the list" DipsonDP (talk) 21:17, August 13, 2015 (UTC)
 * "Each person normally has one pair of sex chromosomes in each cell. Females have two X chromosomes, whereas males have one X and one Y chromosome. Both males and females retain one of their mother's X chromosomes, and females retain their second X chromosome from their father. Since the father retains his X chromosome from his mother, a human female has one X chromosome from her paternal grandmother (father's side), and one X chromosome from her mother." 


 * Source: Wikipedia. 21:28, August 13, 2015 (UTC)

See Subject 1 and his reliving of the memories of his ancestor Aveline. Also, again, neither Desmond or Clay is stated to be Eve's descendant, ever. Explicitly only Adam. -- 21:26, August 13, 2015 (UTC)

But Subject 1 does not descends from Adam, and if he did, he would not have his DNA. Desmond could had relived the memories of a woman in his Family Tree, but that woman would't have Adam's DNA. And we dont need an statement, the "X" is always passes, like i said, everyone who descends from Adam and Eve, have, at least, Eve's DNA. DipsonDP (talk) 21:41, August 13, 2015 (UTC)

Mate I really don't know what you're on about anymore, sorry. -- 21:46, August 13, 2015 (UTC)

When i investigated this, it took me a while to get it too, no worries. DipsonDP (talk) 21:51, August 13, 2015 (UTC)


 * I think the basic gist of this is that for someone to relive Adam's memories, they would need to come from a bloodline with a chain of male descendants that leads directly to him. If at any point in the bloodline where the chain of male descendants is broken by only females being born, that last male in the chain is the one that Adam's genetic memories are accessible from, as a woman being born in that chain would bring their paternal grandmother's X chromosome to take the place of the Y-chromosomal Adam gene (the Y gene that traces back to Adam).

Never Ending
Hi i have only a simple request and that is for balck flag to never stop. We have internet so keep the content comming, expand the map and items and ships. Make it something like No man's sky where we can explore and and craft and let the AI fight back to gain thier FORTS. I like trading and let other player's come on to my map and attack me or one of my Forts's then i can defend it. Please don't stop this Pirate game i love it and i will pay for every dlc you make.

Sorry, but we don't create the games, we just chronicle the information in them. Ubisoft are the ones who make the Assassin's Creed series, and with their release schedule, I don't think they'd consider expanding a previous game after a year. Slate Vesper (talk) 11:03, August 31, 2015 (UTC)

Unification's partnership between wikis
Hello, Master Sima Yi! I am TheCreedX, bureaucrat of Assassin's Creed BR Wiki (http://pt.assassinscreedbr.wikia.com/), and I wonder if you would like to make a unification's partnership allowing us to use your wiki design and other things.

We could discuss better about this partnership in particular, if you want. I and all administrators of Assassin's Creed BR Wiki are interested in partnering with your wiki and I think it would benefit both parties. The Brazilian community of Assassin's Creed is a huge community and we think we can reach a higher level.

We have significant influence capacity and we may disclose your wiki if you want.

And we will credit all is the Assassin's Creed Wiki English, of course.

I'll be waiting for your reply!

Bureau position
Hey Sima, long time no talk, so let me get straight to it.

I'd like to step down as a Staff member of the Wiki, as I've become distracted by other games, and I haven't been putting the time into the Wiki as should be expected of my position. I feel it wouldn't be fair to withhold the opportunity from one of the more active members of the wiki, and to be fair, the drive to come back isn't as stong as it used to be.

I'll still come and edit every so often, but it might not be a frequent occurrence. Therefore, if I'm to nominate anyone to take my place, I'd have to recommend that Crook and Bovkaffe be treated equally as deserving of the position. This aside, I'd like to thank you, Nesty and all of the other editors here for their hard work and their consideration and co-operation in helping maintain this place both during my time here and in my absence as well.

-- Slate Vesper (talk) 03:48, September 16, 2015 (UTC)

Revamp
Are you still working on the Templars revamp? I'm asking because you removed the revamp template from the article.--Bovkaffe (talk) 15:11, September 18, 2015 (UTC)

Yes (though I don't have much time for it lately), but I figured I might as well remove that eyesore template because people are free the edit the current version of the article. -- 15:14, September 18, 2015 (UTC)

I am helping out with a Game Team project and could use your assistance. In one sentence, could you tell us what excites you about Assassin's Creed: Syndicate and why you love the franchise? Thanks much! Pinkachu ( talk ) 00:15, September 22, 2015 (UTC)

AC comic
Psst, the comic takes place on 15 September 2015. --Alientraveller (talk) 22:40, October 15, 2015 (UTC)


 * In fact it takes place on two days. The date can be seen on Charlotte's computer, while she is working at the bank. There is still an error because it says "last logged in on Wednesday, September 15 2015" but if you check the calendar the 15 September was a Tuesday. ^^

15 September: plays the Helix Far West simulation in the morning, go to an interview for a new job, go to work at the bank, come back home in the evening to find Assassins in her appartement, recruited and attacked by Templars, jump through the window to reach a nearby roof but get knocked out in the process.

16 September: wake up in the Salton Sea hideout during the day, formally meet the team and is introduced to the mission, put in the regular Animus to relieve Stoddard's memories and find an artefact hidden in Salem. Maxattac (talk) 23:07, October 15, 2015 (UTC)

Hey!

What happened to the "Wanted Pages" section? I remember it being full of wanted pages, but now it is empty. DipsonDP (talk) 00:33, October 19, 2015 (UTC)

Assassins sandbox error
Hey, Master Sima, one of your recent updates to your "Assassins" sandbox page left a bit of a dangling sentence at the end of the "Search for the Observatory" section. The part that goes "and later joined the Assassins in Great Britain and started compiling his research into First Civilization temples in a journal." -- Zero-ELEC (talk) 19:19, October 24, 2015 (UTC)

Unable to make forum post
Hi Sima. Is it deliberate that the ability to make forum posts has been disabled? I'm not sure if it's a side-effect of Forum:Wiki discussion being protected or not, but I get a protected page alert whenever I try and create a new forum post. Would you mind taking a look, as I am wanting to propose some changes to the Sourcing Policy. --Jasca Ducato (talk | contributions) 11:29, October 26, 2015 (UTC)

Instruments of the First Will icon.
Hi, Master Sima Yi, I may have jumped the gun. I was half-way through adding an icon to the eraicon template when I realized I didn't consult with anyone. So, here goes: Should we have an era-icon for the Instruments of the First Will? As seen in the recent uploads I kinda already made an icon and uploaded it. Reasons for the icon: The instruments seem way more important than the Hermeticists and we have an icon for them, and moving forward there seems that there could be even more Instruments. So yeah. -- Zero-ELEC (talk) 03:24, November 2, 2015 (UTC)

I don't see the harm, sure. -- 07:49, November 2, 2015 (UTC)

So... I'm not really sure how to go about this. I made several videos of all of the Reconstructed Data from AC: Syndicate at the request of a redditor, and then went on to transcribe all of them into plain text. Is this something that you all would be interested in having posted here? It's about 44,000 characters (~7800 words), so I didn't want to just dump it on the wiki without asking. Please let me know, either here or via reddit message (/u/PyroKep).

Thanks!

Rite of the Template Order
Howdy. Is there a reason why the AC novels don't have their own navigation templates as with the games and comics (and teh movie)?  Vetinari (Appointment) 06:05, November 15, 2015 (UTC)

I think mostly because the novels (particularly the older ones) were just novelizations of the games so it'd be repetition of info. -- 17:20, November 15, 2015 (UTC)

Fair enough but the majority of Underworld is its own thing.  Vetinari (Appointment) 21:38, November 15, 2015 (UTC)

I know. I was just giving you the reason why none of them have one. I don't think anyone will object to a navbox for Underworld being created, so do feel free if you want to. -- 11:51, November 18, 2015 (UTC)

This is for every user who knew me and my antics. I know I have said this before many times, without really meaning it. I am sincerely sorry for all the trouble I have caused around here. Sima, Nesty, Kain, Kaishiro (although he might be active less here in the wiki), Crook, and everyone. I was but a child with zero maturity at all. I was arrogant and stupid. I am not looking for sympathy ,nor do I expect you to forgive me out of nowhere, because I was such an annoyance.

May this community ever stand.

Live long and prosper.

There's no need to apologize to me. I just hope that you've improved your behaviour since you were last here. I can't fault you for having been young and immature, but I hope you realize how that behaviour wasn't appropriate at the time. -- 11:55, November 29, 2015 (UTC)

Staff position
Hey, Sima. It's been quite a while, so I hope all is well. I've been mulling over how to word this for a few days now, but I've decided it'd be best to just come out with it.

I'd like to surrender my position on the staff board. My reasoning for this is that I've taken up quite a few other interests that keep my attention away from here, and my priorities have definitely shifted significantly. I haven't been devoting nearly as much time as should be expected of someone in my position, and it wouldn't be right to keep such a position since there are people more deserving who could easily take my place. My urge to edit here is much weaker than it once was, and I don't even feel the urge to play many of the games anymore. I've been infrequent in visiting for almost a year now, and that is a bad image for a staff member to send.

Perhaps I'll continue to edit, but if I do, it will likely be very infrequent. As I said, my priorities have shifted. If there is one thing I say before I go, it is that I think Bovkaffe is definitely deserving of replacing me. He has accomplished a great deal in the time he's been here - more than I ever did. I have immense respect for him, and I firmly believe that he would be a perfect addition to the staff.

I wish you and everyone else the very best in the future, and I am confident that you will all continue to keep this place in great shape. It's been a good three and a half years, but it's time for me to move on. Take care. -- 18:00, December 3, 2015 (UTC)


 * Fare thee well, Crims. I'm sure that, wherever it is that you're now spending a lot of your time and attention, the people there are lucky to have you :) 19:13, December 3, 2015 (UTC)


 * It's been a pleasure, Crimson. I wish you all the best in your future endeavours. Do stop by sometime. -- 19:29, December 3, 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Who do u think is the most skilled assassin protagonist? And in case ur wondering who I mean, there's Ezio Auditore, Altaïr, Edward Kenway, Ratonhnhaké:ton, Haytham Kenway, and Desmond Miles.

I actually made my own list, and I would love to hear ur opinions, since ur #1:

1. Ezio Auditore da Firenze; Ratonhnhaké:ton

2. Edward Kenway

3. Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad

4. Haytham Kenway

Soundtracks
Hi Master Sima,

Looking at the Soundtrack page, I see that DLCs such as Dead Kings and Jack the Ripper, for example, have no pages, even though the tracks are listed here and here, respectively. Do I add the DLC music pages? I couldn't seem to find a page saying otherwise, but I thought I should ask.

Cheers, Darman36 (talk) 19:26, December 29, 2015 (UTC)


 * Neither URL works, but if you are certain the tracks listed are 100% accurate, I am not opposed to creating pages. -- 20:01, December 29, 2015 (UTC)
 * Hmm. Sorry about that, links work on my end. Try looking up the appropriate titles in "play.google". Should work. Anyway, thanks, will work on now! Edit: How do you want the names? Like "...Creed: [main Game]: [DLC name]" or "...Creed: [Main Game] – [DLC]" Darman36 (talk)

The former is more preferable. Are these officially released soundtracks? -- 18:22, January 2, 2016 (UTC)
 * They're real, though I think they were released as digital downloads. Here's Freedom Cry, Dead Kings, & Jack the Ripper. Blast, now I have to rename the pages; I used the 2d format (see Soundtrack). Sorry.


 * Edit: Links moved. Since I'm at this, should ToKW music have its own page instead of being added here? --Darman36 (talk) 14:58, January 3, 2016 (UTC)

Charles Lee
I have a question about Charles Lee. Being an admin, you probably know more about the series than I do. When was Charles Lee a member of the British Rite? I saw that he was included as a member, but as far as I know he was only an ally of the British Rite, and then an ally of the Colonial Rite, and then a member of the Colonial Rite. Just wondering if I missed something.Hugues de Payens (talk) 16:26, January 8, 2016 (UTC)
