Unity
Thank you for the advice! There are many categories for Unity, so it can get confusing sometimes. I will definitely take your advice and improve my work. Saving Private Ryan (talk) 17:45, November 30, 2014 (UTC)

Liberation
Hey Crook......

What is the difference between the real life liberation and the in-game liberation???

And in which of the two does it say that you (player) purchased it from abstergo??


 * Jayam, I'm going to reiterate what Sima said. It's getting a tad annoying answering your questions when you can find the answers yourself by reading the relevant pages.


 * "In-game Liberation" is the Abstergo entertainment product, "real life Liberation" is Assassin's Creed III: Liberation, the Ubisoft game originally released on PS Vita and then ported to PS3, Xbox360 and PC. Aside from that, there are no real differences - one exists inside a fictional universe, the other exists in the real world. 16:50, December 4, 2014 (UTC)

Frontier
Crook, after Lessons and Revelations when you're in freeroam, I assume you can't just leg it to the other end of the Homestead and try heading for the Frontier, right? Is a path even there, or a memory wall pops up to threaten you with desync like a club bouncer? -- Kainzorus Prime ⚜  Walkie-talkie  21:24, December 5, 2014 (UTC)


 * I actually didn't think to try that - I remember going in the direction of where Myriam's hunting cabin would be in AC3. A memory wall popped up eventually and, following it, seemed to be put there to block my way to the beach - it was gone after I completed Lessons and Revelations. I didn't try in the opposite direction (I think I didn't even travel to the bridge over the river :s). I'll have a look when time allows. 21:28, December 5, 2014 (UTC)


 * I had a go today. Animus walls on all sides, I'm afraid. You can cross the river via the bridge, but the Animus wall pops up immediately after, so you can't go to the area where all the residents will have their homes, or beyond. The cliff that Shay eventually ends up at, chased by all the Assassins, in "Freewill" is also off-limits actually.


 * Checked out the little house where you find Faulkner in AC3 as well, but there was nothing of note there either. 15:46, December 8, 2014 (UTC)

Rogue Protagonist
That sucks oh well. But why would they change Silent Protagonist with the drop of a hat they aren't like the historical Assassins. With the Historical Assassins I get why but with the Silent Protagonist it makes no sense. I mean are they going to have new Silent Protagonist in every new Assassin's Creed game. --Cococrash11 (talk) 00:05, December 6, 2014 (UTC)

My wires
They are not crossed. Originally, I was going to chock that up to writing those templates at midnight, but I checked the guide just to make sure :P 00:18, December 6, 2014 (UTC)


 * Woops. My bad, Storm :p Silly game guide makers got their wires crossed then. 08:55, December 6, 2014 (UTC)

So, that argument is missing in all BH/RV fullsynchs, and pretty sure in most of 3 as well. We'll have to both rectify that sometime. -- Kainzorus Prime ⚜  Walkie-talkie  21:44, December 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * Do ACB and ACR have more than one fullsync requirement? Memories with only one don't need the code. 21:49, December 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * Don't they? Whoops, I might've put some of Liberation's memories that have one 1 full sync constraint in . 21:56, December 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * We're making this happen. For unification's sake. -- Kainzorus Prime ⚜  Walkie-talkie  16:21, December 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * Fiiiiiine. So, we're fixing the sizes of the full sync constraints. Shall I start with Revelations then? 16:29, December 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes, I'll tackle BH and AC3. -- Kainzorus Prime ⚜  Walkie-talkie  16:30, December 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * 'Kay. Are we putting all full sync constraints small, or only the memories that have multiple ones? I'm guessing the former, seeing as I can't remember Brotherhood/Revelations having more than one. 16:34, December 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes, we're going Full Spectrum Warrior on all of them. -- Kainzorus Prime ⚜  Walkie-talkie  17:36, December 9, 2014 (UTC)

Slash
I noticed that you've been adding slashes in the dialogue coding. Both I, Crimson and Slate have been removing those since they just add unnecessary coding. Does it actually change anything?--Bovkaffe (talk) 11:02, December 14, 2014 (UTC)


 * It doesn't, but I am not really the one adding them. Ever since the third memory or so for Rogue, I've just used  to move down snippets of dialogue. I think Wikia adds those 'slashes' automatically, so there's not much that I can do about it.


 * I don't think there's any difference between  and   btw, so it's a tad annoying. Sorry :s  11:11, December 14, 2014 (UTC)

Initiates
Where did you get those nice improved images?--Bovkaffe (talk) 14:40, December 18, 2014 (UTC)


 * Here. If there's one thing Access the Animus is good for, it's finding artists that worked on the franchise :) 14:43, December 18, 2014 (UTC)

IRC
Could you meet me on the IRC at some point in the future? I have a favour to beg of you. -- 15:16, December 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * I'll be there in 30-ish minutes. 15:20, December 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * UPDATE: Make that 'the amount of time it takes me to install a client'. Which, considering my general ineptitude, I don't count being anytime soon tbh. 16:04, December 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * Aw well. Let me know when you're available. There's no rush. -- 16:08, December 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm there and ready to chew Sima out for being all "get a client it's easy bitch". 16:30, December 20, 2014 (UTC)

Oh balls, I completely forgot about this, sorry. I won't really be available much until the 31st, so I hope that works for you. But I have something else to ask. When you played Rogue, did you get Altaïr, Ezio, Connor, Edward, or Arno outfits? Because I should have received them all (except Arno's), but I haven't yet. -- 01:36, December 27, 2014 (UTC)


 * I'll try to be there, if I don't forget :p As for the legacy costumes in Rogue, I don't have them either. I frankly doubt they're in there tbh, but who knows. I wonder if someone has a video of Shay in the legacy outfits :s 09:11, December 27, 2014 (UTC)


 * Well, there's this.
 * I am peeved. I really want to run around in Edward's robes. -- 14:33, December 27, 2014 (UTC)

Sharks
Heeeey! Thanks for getting me out of trouble! Oh, and sh**,  i left a post on MasterYiSama or whatever's talk page cause it was at the bottom... -_-. Anyways, Great White Sharks are only found in Serranilla and Charlotte, apparently, I found it in the fine print of a gaming article.


 * Sima is our bureaucrat - the person in charge if you will. He won't mind your message being there :) Thanks for looking that up, I couldn't find it myself. Just to clarify, I don't edit maliciously. If I remove stuff you wrote, it's because it isn't written according to the rules - I will adapt it if I can, but if it's "out-of-universe" information, it probably can't be salvaged. Alright, thanks for reading ^^ 14:58, December 29, 2014 (UTC)

Okay, we quite obviously disagree on the Great White Shark page... xD. Anyways, I do most certainly think that the Introduction requires a heading, otherwise, it looks strangely tacky (in my personal opinion). Also, if anyone wants actual information on Great White Sharks, they can head over to Wikipidia, but I thought the point of Wikia was to provide facts specificly tailored to the needs of the subject that you created the wikia off of. In this case, we're supposed to provide information about the games, not really Great White Sharks in general... But that is a very decent filler.


 * Sorry - as I've said in the message on you talkpage, the Assassin's Creed Wiki takes an in-universe approach. It is written like Wikipedia on purpose. It's not merely a personal taste, it's a general rule that editors abide by. I realize this approach might not make every visitor happy, but it's the approach that's been chosen. We aim to be an encyclopedia, not a game guide :s 15:22, December 29, 2014 (UTC)

IRC Problem
Hey, I just wanted to ask how to exactly talk on or even go to the IRC......everytime I go there it asks me my nickname and when I enter it, it always says tha my nick isn't registered...so everytime I enter my email adress, password and then I enter the code sent to my email and then the next time I go on the IRC it asks me to registrate my nick......what's up with that?????

I even have the App 'Hexchat' but there I don't know which lobby is good......or anything. But it doesn't matter as I don't know anybody except the admins and staff members' names........well, except you.

Jayam (talk) 10:20, January 5, 2015 (UTC)


 * Uh well, you can select "Beginner", which'll take you to the "Connect to Xertion IRC" page. If you've registered your name, all you need to do is type it in. The channel should be filled in already, but if it isn't, type #ACWiki. Press enter, at which point it should ask you to fill in your password.


 * After that, you should be in. Though webchat can get a bit wonky sometimes :s Some people recommend Hexchat and the like, but I know nothing about how those work so, I can't help you there, I'm afraid.


 * Nowadays there's not always people, but you'll generally see some of the staff members' names in the list on the right. Storm will usually respond, Sima might not (his nick is always on the list, but he might not actually be present in the chatroom). 10:29, January 5, 2015 (UTC)

IRC Contd.
Hey, the registration problem is finished....thankfully....but i still don't know where to type....or how to respond...that's why i'm not able to respond to you!!

And I still don't know why is Hexchat there when one can talk on the IRC and what lobbies are good where I can actually talk to other people .... Jayam (talk) 10:35, January 5, 2015 (UTC)


 * There should be a bar at the bottom of the chatroom. Just type in your message there and hit enter :)


 * Well Hexchat is kind of a different "engine", so to speak. It'll send you to the same chatroom, the layout might just be a little different. As for other lobbies, dunno :P I've only used the irc to chat with the wiki people. 10:38, January 5, 2015 (UTC)

And now again its saying to registrate...and that my nickname is already in use.....this happenned after i accidentally reloaded the page.... :/!!

Jayam (talk) 10:41, January 5, 2015 (UTC)


 * Wait a short time before logging in again, the previous "you" (the nickname that's already in use) will log out automatically after a minute or so. 10:43, January 5, 2015 (UTC)

Crook, can you check to see if the Observatory is referred to as a temple or vault in the Encyclopedia? Does the Jerusalem entry still refer to the location where Altaïr retrieved the Apple of Eden as a First Civilization vault?

Game Patch Request By March 10
Hello There, I Just wanted to let you know that AC:Rogue has major bugs in naval gamplay and the combat in this game.

List of In-Game Problems


 * Problem 1: How come british ships are coyping the names form Assasisin's creed IV:Black Flag?


 * Problem 2: How did the british troops attack shay while he is a templar? and French troops attack him as an Assassin; Doesn't he help them win the Seven Years War?


 * Problem 3: Why Didn't the Russian/Spainish ships appeared in the game?; They were supposed to be fighting alongside the French.


 * Problem 4: Why did the Naval Battle music plays only one song.


 * Problem 5: Why there are only (12 Ship of the line/Man O' War), (9 frigate), (10 brig) and (14 schonner), ship names in the french navy fleet?


 * Problem 6: How there are only Two levels of Man O' War 36 and 49 in this game. They should range from levels 30 (56 Firepower-8 Speed), 36 (63 Firepower-9 Speed), 49 (66 Firepower-20 Speed), 60 (70 Firepower -30 Speed), and 73 (82 Firepower-44 Speed).


 * Problem 7: How come the Legendary Battles copied the ships from black flag?


 * Problem 8: The French ships 'colors of the sails and hulls are not exactly the actual color in the seven years war.


 * Problem 9: The last and the most serious problem of the game are the graphics. They tend to glitch randomly in the game.

And btw, Tell Ubisoft Games about that.

Source
Since you always find concept pieces, would you trace this to its origin? -- Kainzorus Prime <font color="#7575DB" size="6">⚜  <font color="#4C99A6">Walkie-talkie  20:45, February 15, 2015 (UTC)


 * Is this your own scan? I can't really say anything from looking at the piece of art itself. Usually I find concept art by looking for an artist's watermark ^^; If the scan's yours, you could check the names listed in the credits of the art book (this is a scan from the art book, yes?), and we could narrow it down from there.


 * My guess right now (that isn't really based on anything) would probably be Patrick Lambert :P Unfortunately, he posts none of his work online so there's no way I could check. 20:51, February 15, 2015 (UTC)


 * Nah, I nabbed it from german wiki when looking for how much images were stolen from us by now.

Papers Please
Ok no need to jell (which i say a lot), now i fixed the mistake i made but just to be fair i checked the date on the game it only said it came out in 2013 i could not have know that, but the point is i fixed it and i will not try again. --Ghost127 (talk) 19:42, February 22, 2015 (UTC)-Ghost127

Sourcing images
Is that really such a priority here? Your buddy here does not appear to be very versed in the ways of copyright, yet he has uploaded several images with faulty licensing information. None of his uploads are CC BY-SA 3.0 by any stretch of the imagination, all are clearly copyrighted and could only be spammed like that via fair use. None of the other wikias seem particularly bothered by that. As far as my image, that is the only perspective that the game gives. Pixel Cube (talk) 14:30, March 2, 2015 (UTC)


 * Sourcing images is a priority here, yes - unsourced images will be deleted. I'll make sure to alert TheHiddenBlade as to the correct licensing method. As for your own image, I'd suggest moving it to the Easter Eggs article. Thank you for your quick response :) 14:36, March 2, 2015 (UTC)

I have to admit though, I can't wait until May, when I'll never have to speak French again. Decided to drop it as a subject. -- 22:20, March 17, 2015 (UTC)

Modern Day Events' Purpose
Hey........its me again! :P......i've been meaning to ask this for a long time........my question is...

Why exactly are the players i AC Unity and Rogue reliving memories........is there any purpose of the Assassins or Templars???

Like in the previous games it was to acquire the location of the Apple of eden or to acquire the location of the Grand Temple Key, Observatory.....to make Desmond come out of his Coma......

So is there any purpose for reliving the memories of Shay Cormac and Arno Dorian?????

If yes....what are the factions upto??? What are they trying to achieve this time?????

And what happenned when the Templars did find the Observatory??? I haven't played AC4 and neither AC rogue or Unity so i don't now their modern day events and their purposes........

Jayam (talk) 15:23, May 21, 2015 (UTC)


 * In Unity, both the Assassins and Templars are trying to find the remains of Sages. The Templars want to sequence a full genome of Precursor DNA, so they can get more insight into the First Civilization, while the Assassins are working against this. That's why some random shmuck gets contacted by Bishop to look into Arno's memories, because he encountered (and killed) a Sage, so the Assassins would be able to locate the Sage's body via his memories.


 * In Rogue, a person at Abstergo was doing their work, but triggered some type of virus when reliving one of Shay Cormac's memories. This alerts Violet da Costa and Juhani Otso Berg, both relatively high-ranking Templars from Sigma Team, to the memories of Shay Cormac. In essence, I think it's Otso Berg that desired to collect footage from Shay Cormac's memories to demoralize the remaining Modern Day Assassins.


 * The Templars attempted to find the Observatory, but found that the Assassins managed to bury it somewhere in the 18th century. The excavation has been deprioritized, if I memory serves. I think that should answer your questions, but you can check with other users, I might have gotten some things wrong; it's been a while since I played Rogue and Unity ^^; 15:32, May 21, 2015 (UTC)

So aren't the Templars doing anything to conquer people's minds.....to have control on them at this moment?????

And what about Juno and her threat and all that stuff??

Jayam (talk) 16:35, May 21, 2015 (UTC)


 * I don't think the "mind control" thing is on the Templars' agenda at the moment. They're aware of Juno and her little faction, but I don't think the Templars are actively working against them. 16:45, May 21, 2015 (UTC)

Everything is depicted quite clearly in the games. The Templars don't want to "conquer people's minds". They want to rule over them as benevolent dictators, not enslave them. Juno's currently using her minions, the Instruments of the First Will, to get everyone to upload their digital consciousness into the Grey to live under her rule.

All the answers to your questions are on the wiki. Please take a look around. -- 16:46, May 21, 2015 (UTC)

Handbook
Hey, Crook

Sima told me you had the Abstergo Entertainment Handbook, and I've read that it has a profile on Mirabeau and describes some of the items linked with the Assassin hidout in the Sainte-Chapelle. Do you know if any of that info is new, or is it already mentioned in Unity? I'm rather interested in the Mirabeau part since I've updated his page to include everything from Unity, but I don't have the Handbook. I don't know if it's too much trouble to transcibe Mirabeau's profile.--Bovkaffe (talk) 20:20, June 14, 2015 (UTC)


 * I can't do it this week, but I'll try and get around to it somewhere next week. Feel free to send me a reminder, I might forget. 07:07, June 15, 2015 (UTC)


 * Not to rush you or anything, but just a reminder.--Bovkaffe (talk) 23:38, June 24, 2015 (UTC)


 * No worries, I needed that reminder. It's quite a bit of text, so hopefully there's something in there you can use in the article. Make sure to cross-reference; the book makes a math mistake with Mirabeau's age right out of the gate :P Here you go:


 * QUOTE


 * "Nothing baffles the schemes of evil people so much as the calm composure of great souls." - Honoré Gabriel Riqueti, Comte de Mirabeau


 * MIRABEAU FAST FACTS


 * Born 3/9/1749; died 4/2/1791; aged 43.
 * Imprisoned no less than four times to escape his debts and once tried to avoid a death sentence for the seduction and abduction of another man's wife.
 * Worked as a pamphleteer for hire and as Louis XVI's secret agent.
 * Attempted to win the support of his father for election into the Estates-General by dedicating a book about the Prussian monarchy to him.
 * Mirabeau was born with a twisted foot, a deformed tongue, and two fully grown teeth. It is said the first words said to his father upon the presentation of his son were, "Do not be alarmed."


 * IMPRESSIONS OF HIM


 * I can understand why Arno's father and M. de la Serre trusted this man. Despite human weaknesses, he grasps the potential of human greatness.


 * BIOGRAPHY


 * History already regards Honoré Gabriel Riqueti, Comte de Mirabeau as a complex and difficult man to fathom. Surely if they had known about his role as the Mentor of the Assassin Order during the early stages of the French Revolution, historians would be even more at odds as to whether the man was a great leader who might have prevented the Reign of Terror, a demagogue, or a traitor
 * Mirabeau suffered from smallpox at the age of three, which left his face disfigured. Despite this seeming disadvantage, he had a deserved reputation as ladies' man and was involved in numerous affaires de coeur, some of which were quite scandalous and landed him in prison.
 * During his time in prison, his writing - both erotic and political - came to the fore. He made the acquaintances of the Marquis de Sade while both were confined in the castle of Vincennes, although they later grew to heartily despise one another. Here, too, Mirabeau began to perfect his political voice, eventually turning the tables on those who had stood against him. He wrote Des Letters de Cachet et des prisons d'état, an indictment of the practice by which one could be imprisoned without benefit of trial merely by producing a letter signed by the king.
 * Burdened, supposedly, by prison time, scandals, and a famously poor relationship with his father (who often imprisoned him), Mirabeau's reputation was less than stellar in some circles, but the public grew to admire him. His kindnesses and consideration for the lower classes appear to have been genuine, not an act. The pay his servants received was more than generous, and he apparently looked after the medical needs of his staff's children as if they were his own.
 * He became something of an Anglophile, visiting England after his paper on the lettres de cachet proved to be popular there, and was acquainted with Americans Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson. Later, he would propose a constitutional monarchy for France similar to the English model.
 * He produced other writings that attacked everything from financial speculation to the Prussian Court, and was perfectly positioned when the king made his decision to summon the Estates-General - a gathering of all the Estates of the Realm: the First (clergy), the Second (nobles), and Third Estate (the common people). Rejected when he attemped to assist as a member of the Second Estate, Mirabeau was accepted by the Third Estate. Mirabeau took full advantage of this opportunity to shine and rose to power on his popularity and his reasoned idealism.
 * The Third Estate broke away to re-envision itself under the name the National Assembly, taking the so-called "Tennis Court Oath" to create a new constitution on June 20, 1789. Mirabeau was among them, and would be elected its president on January 30, 1791. He was also a member of the Jacobin Club, which would become infamous for the "Reign of Terror" under Maximilien Robespierre.
 * His death in April 1790 (from, we now know, decidedly unnatural causes) was greatly mourned. In his honor, the Paris Pantheon was changed from a church, the Abbey of St. Genevieve, to a mausoleum for France's great men.
 * That sentiment did not last long, once incriminating letters were found in 1792 that proved that the beloved Mirabeau had been serving as a secret advisor to Louis XIV.


 * Aaaand that's all. If you need any more information on other characters, I might just scan the pages. Less typing :P 16:02, June 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * This is most certainly useful, thank you. I might ask for more of the profiles later on.--Bovkaffe (talk) 16:50, June 25, 2015 (UTC)

Templars
So, just to be clear....the Templars are trying to find the sages so that they can get more info about the First Civ. and they wanna do this so that they can easily rule over people right?? they wanted the apple of eden and the observatory so that they could easily rule over people....right?? everything that the templars want ....they want it so that they can use that particular thing (which they're trying to find) to rule over people.........am i correct??

And how did reliving shay cormac's memory help the templars...did they just want to intimidate the Assassins or did they achieve something else by reliving his memories?

Jayam (talk) 20:22, June 14, 2015 (UTC)


 * I assume "control" is still their ultimate goal, but I'm not sure if the whole Sage deal factors into that very much; it might just be to learn more on the first civ and potentially acquire new artifacts. I'm a bit hazy on the whole thing myself.


 * Reliving Shay's memories did not achieve very much; Otso Berg apparently wanted to make a video using the footage to demoralize the Assassins, but that's basically it, as far as I know. 07:07, June 15, 2015 (UTC)

Toussaint
Do as you please with Toussaint, I will not touch the page again.

I am well aware of the need to change history to make certain truth softer for arrogance.

But understand that the revolt was a true slave revolt against slave owners not a race war. These word games are nothing more than "poor white man" trope. Those people were killed for slavery and not for race. Even the Wikipedia Entry of Dessalines admits that. This was not a race revolution it was a slave rebellion.

I just wanted record of what you all are doing here for the sake of vanity.

 * I was merely trying to make peace. I am not trying reinforce any kind of narrative for political reasons - I will check back what Bovkaffe's source was in regards to his decision to use "whites", rather than "slave owners". Possibly he mimicked Ubisoft's own wording in this case - would not be an excuse, but it would at least be an explanation.


 * And as an aside, since you apparently find it necessary to underline your heritage, perhaps you could at least muster some respect in regards to Bovkaffe's. Sweden is not Denmark by any stretch of the imagination. Thanks for reading. 17:48, July 1, 2015 (UTC)

Deers, databases and Defaultsorts
Um hi, i wish im not interrupting you but i was editing this deer ACBF database and i found out that there are 2 articles about deers: one from AC3 and the other one i mentioned. If I rename the ACBF deer, wouldn't it affect the AC3 deer? I'm sorry, im a noob. Thanks, anyway. :D Misphantom (talk) 09:01, July 2, 2015 (UTC)


 * "Feel free to ask me anything regarding the Wiki and I'll try to answer as best I can." Don't worry, I don't bite :P


 * As for your issue, no worries. Individuals like Aveline, Achilles and Adéwalé have appeared in multiple games and received different database entries. To differentiate them, simply put the name of the game from which the database entry came in parentheses. For example, Aveline has two: Database: Aveline de Grandpré (Liberation) and Database: Aveline de Grandpré (Black Flag).


 * Ezio has a whopping four database entries, so you can check that one as well as an example, if you wish :P For the deer database entries, you can distinguish them by adding (Asssassin's Creed III) to one and (Black Flag) to the other. And that's all there's to it :) Hopefully I've cleared that up for you - and thank you again for all the work you've done on the recategorization of the database entries and writing up some of the locations from Assassin's Creed: Rogue. 09:37, July 2, 2015 (UTC)

Undo mistake
My mistake on that undo, just seemed off to me.&#60;theproclamation&#62; (talk) 21:45, July 2, 2015 (UTC)


 * No worries, it's a kind of policy change. I remember a few editors being quick to undo interwiki links in the past, but the admins have more or less decided there's no harm in having them on the page. We probably won't spend our time actively adding them to each article (at least I won't), but if somebody else is like "I'd like to add a link to the French/German/Spanish/... version of this article", they're free to do so :) 21:51, July 2, 2015 (UTC)

Screenshots
Since you mentioned Made in Masyaf on Flickr, I noticed she has screenshots for almost everything in AC. Do you intend to upload them for the Unity memories?--Bovkaffe (talk) 22:12, July 6, 2015 (UTC)


 * I might do at some point - the problem is she only uses the default outfit up until "The Silversmith" memory. Also, the screencaps are mostly limited to cutscenes. I'll pick and choose some for the screenshots we can use, but beyond "The Silversmith", we'll still need to rely on DarkFeather. I hope Kain writes that appeal sometime soon tbh. 22:17, July 6, 2015 (UTC)

A little explanation for Shao Jun's name.
Just sending some explanation about discussion in "Shao Jun" page.The part meaning "respectible or honorable one" is the "Jun",if it was pronounced "joon".Shao doesn't mean any absolute thing in most ancient time but a name,after the character took place.Sleeplust (talk) 15:23, July 8, 2015 (UTC)

Black Flag Manga
Um I saw the black flag manga on a website called Mangafox. I was wondering if I could upload images from the website, but idk if its legal because, you know, its sort of like piracy, if you get me. Reading published manga for free, in my opinion is not legal. Misphantom (talk) 09:55, July 15, 2015 (UTC)


 * Oh yeah, I've read some of it too. Absolutely terribly in my opinion :P But as for your question, I'm not sure. For the comics, I usually try to crop out a single panel and I erase the dialogue - check Arbaaz Mir, Pyara Kaur or Raza Soora for examples. You could try that approach, but I'd recommend you, just to be 100% safe, check with Sima before doing anything.


 * I hope that was helpful :P 10:00, July 15, 2015 (UTC)

I'd once again like to point out that erasing the dialogue is not necessary, and I haven't seen any other wiki do it so far. In my opinion everything is preferable to a big white bulb of text so I'd prefer text not be removed (unless half the text bubble is removed). Just my two cents though. -- 10:45, July 15, 2015 (UTC)

Dialogue
Since you got all the dialogue in Hoarders, could you get it for some of the other memories? Off the top of my head, I can think of High Society, when Arno follows Élise through the hallways, The King's Correspondence when the thugs speak with each other inside the Tuileries, and The Temple where Germain's men speak with each other inside the tower. I haven't been able to get all of it, since it often gets cut off in the videos.--Bovkaffe (talk) 14:42, July 26, 2015 (UTC)


 * 'Aight, I'll have a go :p 15:02, July 26, 2015 (UTC)


 * By the way, I've noticed that Arno can interact with the bookshelves at the estate in High Society, so I think there's some more dialogue in that. Also, I missed some of the dialogue in The Infernal Machine (mainly in the first part on the rooftops). Finally, there's some unsubtitled dialogue between the guards at the armory in Arm the People. It would be great if you could get the dialogue in those memories. Edit: There's also some dialogue between the guards in front of the Panthéon in Moving Mirabeau.--Bovkaffe (talk) 15:14, August 12, 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm pretty sure I checked out those bookshelves while replaying the High Society memory, those are just the titles already mentioned on the memory article. I'll try for the Infernal Machine and the Moving Mirabeau missions, but I can't replay the "Arm the People" mission, it's a Paris Story. I'd have to wipe my save and start all over again to be able to play that memory again. 15:41, August 12, 2015 (UTC)

Info.
Hey, sorry for disturbing you again and again, but i have a question (again) :P

Do the templars ever find out that Desmond saved the world?

And like the main games have Modern Day Events (except liberation) where either the Templars or the Assassins are trying to find or achieve something, do the spin-off games like Altair's Chronicles, Bloodlines, Discovery, Pirates, memories, recollection and project legacyalso have modern day events. I mean like in the main games....the factions are trying to achieve something.....that's why their members relive memories of ancestors.......so are they trying to achieve something in the spin off games too? Its hard to tell as there are no modern day events.

And I'm just confirming this, but Juno kills Lucy because she knows that she would shift Desmond from his path and then she (Juno) wouldn't be able to get hereself free, right? Cause she needs Desmond to set her free by making him save the world by touching or doing something with The Eye, right?

Jayam (talk) 14:39, July 31, 2015 (UTC)

Also are there any modern day events in Chronicles China? If yes..which faction is reliving them and why...If no....then is it only a game made to depict the story of 1 single charcter ? (ancestor)

 * QUOTE


 * "Let them eat cake." - Falsely attributed to Marie Antoinette


 * MARIE ANTOINETTE FAST FACTS


 * Born 11/2/1755; died 10/16/1793; aged 38.
 * Upon her first presentation at the French capital, Marie was met by a crowd of parisians, and some 30 people were trampled to death in the excitement.
 * Léonard Autié, the Queen's hairdresser, outfitted her elaborate poufs with enormous models such as a French warship to symbolize naval victory and the diorama of a club striking a snake to celebrate Louis' smallpox vaccination.
 * Initially buried in an unmarked grave near the Church of the Madeline, Marie's body was later exhumed by King Louis XVIII and reburied inside the Basilica Cathedral of Saint-Denis.


 * BIOGRAPHY


 * Married at fourteen to her second cousin once removed, King Louis XVI of France Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna, better known as "Marie Antoinette," was France's final queen.
 * Deemed by her tutor to be "more intelligent than has been generally supposed," but also "rather lazy and extremely frivolous," the lively, outgoing Marie found marriage to the shy and rather ineffectual Louis to be unpleasant and dull. He chose to retire before midnight and rise early, whereas she enjoyed partying and gambling and slept until the afternoon. Considering they apparently were seldom awake in bed together, it is no great surprise that their first child wasn't conceived for eight years.
 * Marie had a private castle, the Petit Trianon, built just for her at Versailles, and in 1780 began spending more time there, almost always without Louis. Her obvious enjoyment of fashion and parties, in which she indulged extravagantly, made her an obvious target for resentment by a populace that regarded her as a foreigner. She became a symbol for the excesses of the Second Estate (the nobility). Nothing, it seemed, was beyond her in the eye of public opinion. The callous "let them eat cake" statement, supposedly a response to the fact that her poorer countrymen could not afford bread, was attributed to her without hesitation, and rumors of affairs and scandals swirled about her throughout her life. She was a popular subject of cartoons and pamphlets, and was dubbed "Madame Deficit."
 * Her reputation was dealt a terrible and irreparable blow by the "Affair of the Diamond Necklace" in 1785. In 1785 a thief posing as the queen stole a 647-diamond necklace that had once belonged to King Louis XV and smuggled it to London, where it was sold off in pieces. It was claimed that Marie Antoinette had been involved in the theft. Although she was innocent - indeed, she had been offered the necklace by her husband and had refused it - she was never able to shake the shadow of complicity.
 * On October 6, 1789, a crowd ten thousand strong gathered outside the Palace at Versailles, demanding that Louis and Marie be brought to Paris. When Louis appeared to be utterly unable to act, Marie instead met with advisors and ambassadors, begging for aid from other European monarchs. It was an effort doomed to failure.
 * With France at war with Prussia and Austria in the summer of 1792, Maximilien de Robespierre called for the removal of the king. The monarchy itself was abolished in September of that year. In January 1793, Marie Antoinette was made a widow when King Louis was executed by guillotine. Nine months later, Marie was to follow, after a degrading and agonizing trial complete with a false charge of molesting her own son.

Hey Crook,

I've found a better image for the Joseph page, but I'm not sure if we're allowed to use it and what the licensing is. I thought I'd ask you, since you know more about this than I do.--Bovkaffe (talk) 20:21, September 17, 2015 (UTC)


 * Pff, I'm pretty bad at licensing, I just slap on everything :P I don't see anything wrong with using the higher quality image, though obviously it would no longer qualify as a screenshot. It seems like a very old work, so it's probably part of the Public Domain by now. Not sure what template that is though :s  20:40, September 17, 2015 (UTC)

Chat
Does this wiki have a live chat or something? The wiki i mostly reside in does have one. So i would assume you do too.

False Shepherd


 * We do, it's an IRC channel, if you're familiar with those? Go to this page and click on "beginner" - all you need to do then is choose a nick and a password. Welcome to the wiki by the way, glad to have you :) 08:39, September 27, 2015 (UTC)


 * I know of IRC chats, but i'm just used to all the wikis having chats. The wiki i'm always on also has comment sections at the bottom of pages (i'm sure you know what i mean) and thanks, glad to be here. Read my user page for details about me.
 * And how exactly do you feel about sourcing information?
 * False Shepherd


 * Yeah, I've seen other wikis have comment sections. This wiki has been around a long time, so I'm not sure when the decision was made to remove those. We do have forums for discussing subjects, and newsblogs, though those are basically only for the big announcements, like a new game being revealed.


 * Could you elaborate on that question? I think pretty much all information on an article should be sourced to somewhere, be that a game, comic or other piece of media. 09:05, September 27, 2015 (UTC)


 * Well, what i'm asking is what are the standards for what information needs sourcing and what information does not require sourcing?  On the wiki i'm on mostly, though it has a focus on facetious comedy and satire, we sometimes source things. But we don't source everything. Either because it's a low-brow joke or it's information that we'd assume people would already know.
 * So what standards do you have?
 * False Shepherd


 * Well, (nearly) each page has a Reference/References section at the bottom, which is where the information on the article comes from. If you're only using a single source, just list it at the bottom and you're fine. If you're using multiple, you need to notify in each paragraph what information comes from where. An introduction general needs no sourcing, unless information in there does not return anywhere else in the page.


 * We have a sourcing policy here, but it is a bit outdated, some of the newer entries into the franchise aren't mentioned there. If it's still not clear then, either try to edit as best you can (some of the other regulars will most likely catch any mistakes) or find an article of good quality that you can reference from.


 * I know I'm not the greatest at explanations, but you can always ask SimaDarkFeather or Nesty for further clarification on their talkpages :P 09:27, September 27, 2015 (UTC)


 * Alrighty then. Do you have any questions for me?
 * False Shepherd


 * I read your bio, so nothing particularly urgent :P Will you be playing Syndicate on release or are you going to buy it later? 10:01, September 27, 2015 (UTC)


 * I'll play it either on release or a couple days after. Though i thoroughly enjoyed Unity, i didn't find it interesting. Syndicate, however, DOES look interesting
 * False Shepherd

A few questions
I have a few questions and you seem like a nice and sociable fellow. I hope you don't mind:
 * Can you remove the vambrace for the secondary Hidden Blade in AC2, so that just the Metal Cestus shows, like in the cover art for the game?
 * I'm contemplating getting ACRO and was wondering: How does it compare to AC4? I saw the review scores and they looked meh, at best, but also unjustified, mostly.
 * To you, which AC is the best? I ask because I've only played AC3 and AC4, but have read everywhere that AC2 is the best.

A bit random, I know. Thanks in advance for any answer(s) you may give. :)

184.6.41.70 08:43, September 27, 2015 (UTC)


 * Nah, no worries, I don't mind at all.
 * I actually have no idea, it's been a really long time since I played AC2. I think it might be possible? The metal cestus needs to be bought, if I remember correctly. I am pretty sure you cannot remove the vambrace though, so having only the Metal Cestus is probably only possible if you don't upgrade to two Hidden Blades. You might need to check elsewhere for that.
 * I think the "meh" review scores are probably justified in some sense, especially to videogame journalists, who look for new things. ACRO recycles a lot of mechanics from AC4, so in that sense, it feels very familiar. If you enjoyed AC4, you'll most likely enjoy ACRO. ACRO's world is most likely bigger than AC4 (with the three core areas: River Valley, North Atlantic and New York), but because the game's storyline is much shorter, a lot of these places won't be visited unless you explore. While the dev team did an admirable job creating fun parkour puzzles (some of the more expansive areas are kind of like the Assassin tombs from AC2/ACB/ACR in that you need to find your way all the way to the top), a lot of it is filled with relatively mundane collectibles. Some of those collectibles are War Letters however, missives that contain references to a LOT of the other games, so they're very fun to read if you're interested in the series' lore. ACRO is also better than ACU Modern-Day wise, in that they're actually is a playable Modern Day. It does put you in the same place as AC4 (reusing of assets again), so it's not a "new place", but there is new content. As for the storyline, I think it's an interesting idea, but it's not executed as well as it could - mostly because the story itself is pretty short (6-7 sequences), you don't get as much opportunity to get to know the new characters. But the central conflict is pretty interesting.
 * General consensus is probably that AC2 is the best game, yes. It's the most polished, has interesting characters and a good story. AC1 is more on the philosophical side but has more repetitive gameplay. AC4 is probably considered the second best game along with Brotherhood. AC3, ACRO and ACU are base breakers, all for seperate reasons; some love them, some hate them. AC4 is definitely my favourite, but I haven't played AC2 in a long time, so I'm not sure which one of those I consider the best.


 * I hope this helped and didn't get too wordy :P 09:01, September 27, 2015 (UTC)


 * Not too wordy at all and very informative, especially in regards to ACRO. It seems that the general consensus is that the game is a rehash of AC4, and with that, I think I'll wait until the price is a bit lower until I purchase it.


 * I've just one more question. Which game is the most stealthy in the series, where you actually feel like an assassin? AC4 was a great game, but it didn't feel like an AC game at all, to me. klad (need to talk?) 09:22, September 27, 2015 (UTC)


 * A rehash of AC4 is a pretty accurate way of putting it yes. Still, that put it miles ahead of Unity for some :P


 * Most stealthy... AC1 introduced the whole social stealth thing, so perhaps that one. AC4 in general is not very Assassin-y, cause you're a pirate for most of it. Unity put a lot of emphasis on stealth, but it was kinda wonky in places. Yeah, I think I'd have to go with AC1, cause that one really focused on gathering information and planning an approach. It's not always stealthy in the sense that you don't get seen though - you approach your target unseen, stab them and then run like hell, usually :P 09:34, September 27, 2015 (UTC)

Parent Page
Hi there! I just wanted to let you know that I added Assassin's Creed: Syndicate to this wikia's Parent Pages. I’ve filled in a few fields, but feel free to edit and add what you know. Let me know if you have any questions. :) Witnessme (talk) 20:46, September 28, 2015 (UTC)

Hello, Need a quick short reply if you have a sec!
I am helping out with a Game Team project and could use your assistance. In one short statement, could you tell us what excites you about Assassin's Creed: Syndicate and why you love the franchise? Thanks so much! Pinkachu ( talk ) 21:00, September 28, 2015 (UTC)


 * What most excites me about Assassin's Creed: Syndicate is probably the sibling relationship between Jacob and Evie :) I love the franchise because it can teach me so many things about the world, both historically and culturally. It should slow down a bit though, Ubisoft is getting quite excessive with the amount of games. 13:09, September 29, 2015 (UTC)

Crook, if you don't mind, how and where do you get those screenshots of locations in Rogue? I keep racking my brain for answers but I can't figure out how someone can take bird's eye view screenshots of the place. Misphantom (talk) 03:38, October 2, 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm not the person to ask, because I don't actually take the screenshots, I just upload them to the wiki :P I get them from Kain, who I presume uses some kind of program to move the camera around freely. You can probably ask him about it on his talkpage. 07:48, October 2, 2015 (UTC)

Antoine Lavoisier
The greatest chemist of the 18th century, author of what would become known as Lavoisier's Law — "nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed." Lavoisier also made significant contributions to the science of combustion, including the identification of oxygen and hydrogen, and his pioneering work on the list of elements. No one would better ecplain the world until Einstein. In terms of the Revolution, Lavoisier was a supporter of new philosophical ideasand a new social order (he called for the creation of social insurance and retirement funds for the elderly, the abolition of all forced work for peasants, as well as freedom of trade). Both before and during the revolution, he served on the Gunpowder Commision which greatly improved the quality of French munitions. However, as a former member of the Ferme Générale (a private tax-collecting system under the monarchy), Lavoisier fell afoul of the radical revolutionaries and was declared a traitor by the Convention. In 1794, upon his arrest, Lavoisier, who had been conducting an experiment in his laboratory at the Royal Arsenal, requested a few more days to continue his work. The judge refused: "The Republic needs neither scientists nor chemists," before sending him to the guillotine. Lavoisier's wife Marie-Anne worked alongside her husband in the laboratory as translator and assistant. She is largely responsible for securing his legacy as a scientist after the Revolution.

Madame Lavoisier
Born in 1758, Marie-Anne Pierette Paulze married—at the age of 13—Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier, the chemist famous for the law of conservation of mass. Following her husband's interests, Madame Lavoisier made a serious study of chemistry herself and thereafter played an active role in her husband's scientific experiments and discoveries. In addition to her work in the laboratory, she translated books from English to French to allow Antoine- Laurent to further his scientific knowledge. Following her husband's execution, she protested vehemently against the arbitrary nature of the proceedings. She duly attended to her husband's posterity, gathering his papers and organizing the publication of his memoirs posthumously.

I've found some good pics for Robespierre and Marcourt. Could you render them?--Bovkaffe (talk) 12:06, October 6, 2015 (UTC)


 * Found those too, actually :P I'll try to render them, but I usually take very long with them and I'm trying to get as much done as possible before Syndicate's release. 12:08, October 6, 2015 (UTC)

Eagles
On the Eagles page, where does it say that the fable of the Eagle and the Jackdaw was recited? Hugues de Payens (talk) 19:00, October 20, 2015 (UTC) Hugues de Payens


 * It's not on there? Woops - maybe that was because of the edit conflict and I didn't see that addition. You can re-add it if you wish, though I feel the fable is more relevant for the Jackdaw article (where it's already listed) than the Eagles articles. 19:09, October 20, 2015 (UTC)

"Butchered" Dead Kings
"The original focus of this co-op mission seems to have been the Procession organized to transfer Rousseau's ashes to the Pantheon in October 1794, but apparently due to a lack of time the mission was butchered by the developpers and become an hybrid protection of Rousseau's remain and tax money.

I think that my quote in the trivia of the Last Rites mission should be kept one way or another because it's valid. The title of the mission is "Last Rites", the dialogues mention "Rousseau's day", a "funeral procession", part of "Rousseau's past in St Denis" but the mission description give nonsense shits about tax collectors. In addition there is the absence of Bishop and her coments about the context and when you compare the content of this mission to earlier missions, it's very flat and feel butchered due to a lack of time. If you have played the mission and the Dead King heist too, you have to know what I'm talking about, there are moments when you clearly feel that something have been deleted from the final product. Maxattac (talk) 07:08, October 22, 2015 (UTC)


 * I've played both missions, yes, and I know that their quality is lower than those featured in the main game, but that's very easily explained due to a smaller development team and less budget. Pointing out that Bishop's commentary is missing is valid trivia, but saying that the mission was "butchered" because the original focus had been changed is not only wildly speculative, it also sounds unnecessarily vindictive against Ubisoft. I think we can point out there's a bit of a mismatch between the description and the actual content of the mission, but nothing that goes further than that, because we don't have any proof or idea of what the original mission concept was. 07:22, October 22, 2015 (UTC)

not really sure not ending
not really what happen i just edit that someone told me that a some form and i believe it and had to add it im waiting for the game dont know what the ending is or the start maybe i should not believe the forms (The Twinke Star in the Skies 12:35, October 22, 2015 (UTC))


 * Don't just add things people tell you xD Please verify information before adding it an article; regardless, any content from Syndicate is prohibited from being added until tomorrow, the game's official day of release. 12:49, October 22, 2015 (UTC)

Detailed sourcing
Crook, I've not made any assumptions about anything, and so you haven't "fixed" anything. My proposal simply looks to make it mandatory for such sourcing to be used, there is nothing in the current policy that forbids me from going into so much detail when a citing material. indeed, we actually already use this form of sourcing when referencing Project Legacy, so unless you're going to go through and remove every mention of the individual chapters from PL on all our articles that include them, can I suggest you stop being so obnoxious about this?

Simply because you refuse to to go through our articles and make the changes when this proposal goes through, doesn't mean you have to revert every single edit I make that conforms with the more detailed format. --Jasca Ducato (talk | contributions) 10:51, October 29, 2015 (UTC)


 * If this proposal goes through. What's going to happen is, you and maybe one or two people are going to do this and you're never going to finish it. It's simply not feasible. I tried it out for Aveline's article and to source every sentence/paragraph to a memory, a database, a page from the encyclopedia, an entry from Initiates, etc. is tedious as all hell - it sucks all the joy out of editing for me. So we're going to get stuck with inconsistent sourcing, and no one will know what to do - everyone'll just do their own thing, which is not a policy.


 * I'm not in agreement with this proposal in its current form, but if a better way can be found that makes it more clear where information came from without forcing me to peer over every line and try to remember where I got it from and what hierarchy I'm following, then I'd be willing to consider it. 11:01, October 29, 2015 (UTC)

When you've proposed the policy and it has not passed yet, wait for it to pass. You're already enforcing it because of a loophole, and because of the inconsistency it creates you're forcing all articles to adhere to this new sourcing method regardless of whether the policy hasn't passed yet. As much as I want to see the sourcing policy adjusted, don't force it on the wiki. -- 11:00, October 29, 2015 (UTC)

DB Images
Noticed we were kinda doing the same thing at the same time. I'll back off. - Amnestyyy (Contact me!) 14:14, November 1, 2015 (UTC)


 * Oh, uh, alright :) 14:16, November 1, 2015 (UTC)

Ay
I know im really late, I just wanted to congratulate you on your admission to the higher rank of staff. I remember back in the day when you were still a wee shrub... my how time flies. Best of luck! -- Fragment -Animus- 05:08, November 3, 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Frag :P S'been a good two years, indeed! 11:40, November 3, 2015 (UTC)

Hello. I was wondering who was in charge of Altair's amin page as there seems to be outdated information. The page shoudl also inclue that Altair is the youngest mentor in the brotherhood's history as well as the youngest master assassin. It would be nice if this could be corrected. Thank you for your time. ConmanWAR (talk) 00:46, November 4, 2015 (UTC)

Shroud
Not sure how to use this fully but here we go:  My edit on the Shroud of Eden, was referring to the fact that the Shroud doesn't resurrect anyone, which has been stated in Syndicate, I think (the Ankh is the POE that resurrects), but interestingly, it was noted in the AC2 glyph puzzles that the Shroud resurrected Jesus of Nazareth. If the Shroud didn't resurrect him, then how would have he been resurrected unless he was the son of God (which the series doesn't confirm or deny, which is fine, keeping the mystery around is always interesting). ParadisecityXO (talk) 19:32, November 15, 2015 (UTC)


 * Did it really? My AC2 knowledge is getting a bit dusty, so I would have to check that. If that's true, then yes, I was in the wrong and the edit can totally be reinstated. However, while I understand you're religious (or that's the impression I've gotten from your edits at least), I personally don't see the need to use the full "Jesus of Nazareth". 19:38, November 15, 2015 (UTC)


 * Okay, I had a look through the AC2 Glyphs, but I found nothing that confirms Jesus' resurrection. All it says is Jesus had the Shroud and the Templars took it - as such, it's entirely possible that, within the AC universe, Jesus literally coming back from the dead is a story that was attached to the whole ordeal by onlookers or the disciples themselves. Hence, I don't see a reason why we need the trivia on the page, as it assumes Jesus' resurrection actually happened, even though we have no proof of that. 20:01, November 15, 2015 (UTC)


 * The part about the ressurection is from Initiates.--Bovkaffe (talk) 14:25, November 16, 2015 (UTC)


 * D'you have a link handy? 14:35, November 16, 2015 (UTC)


 * I have it in my sandbox:

"Jesus of Nazareth drew the attention of the Templar Order by accumulating many devout followers who were drawn by his miraculous displays. The Templars discovered that the source behind his grand miracles was an ancient and powerful artifact known as the Shroud of Eden, and devised a plan to take it from him.

Betrayed by one of his disciples, he was arrested, tortured, and later crucified at the hands of the Templars, who took the Shroud. Just days after his death, the disciples loyal to Jesus managed to reacquire the Shroud and attempted to harness its powers to resurrect their Messiah."--Bovkaffe (talk) 14:37, November 16, 2015 (UTC)


 * Well, now that I've read it again, it doesn't actually say they suceeded.--Bovkaffe (talk) 14:38, November 16, 2015 (UTC)

Assassin's creed Movie
Hi my name is crazybob and i owned a new ubisoft wiki called Ubisoft motion pictures wiki and i need some volunteers to help me out with the assassin's creed movie coming out in 2016. CB2014 20:39, November 19, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hey, bob. Unfortunately, I already have my hands full on this wiki alone, so I won't be able to assist you in expanding yours. I'm not sure if you will have much luck in finding potential contributors here, since we're all so busy with the recent releases, but good fortune all the same :) 20:43, November 19, 2015 (UTC)


 * its only for assassin's creed the movie crook, but i'll help you out ok. CB2014 20:52, November 19, 2015 (UTC)

alright
...evidently not. Apparently I can't count since I stopped taking mathematics as a subject. It has been a very long year. -- 16:47, November 20, 2015 (UTC)


 * Psh, who needs mathematics? Also, you lucky bastard, I had to deal with mathematics till I graduated secondary school lol. 16:51, November 20, 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm living the dream. The majority of subjects I'm doing now are ones in which I'm skilled at, so this year has been easier on me than last year was. I have more of a social life too, and have a new hobby playing around with video game music, so all's good.


 * How have you been doing? It has been a long time. -- 19:05, November 21, 2015 (UTC)

Profiles
I know this would probably take a lot of time, but could you transcribe the other profiles from the Abstergo Entertainment Handbook?--Bovkaffe (talk) 17:36, November 20, 2015 (UTC)


 * Sure, I'll try and get you some soon :) 17:41, November 20, 2015 (UTC)


 * (Copied exactly, age is wrong yet again - third piece of trivia is historically inaccurate but accurate in the context of the game itself)


 * QUOTE


 * "Every time I create an appointment, I create a hundred malcontents and one ingrate." - Louis XVI.


 * LOUIS XVI FAST FACTS


 * Born 8/23/1754; died 1/21/1793; aged 39.
 * Last monarch of France before it became a Republic.
 * Sentenced to death by a vote of 361 to 360.
 * During the harsh winter of 1784, Louis gave 3 million francs out of his own savings to be given out to the poor and ordered that the royal trees be chopped down for firewood.


 * IMPRESSIONS OF HIM


 * Very mild mannered (i.e., boring). His speech to the Estates-General almost put me to sleep.
 * Hard to hear his last words over the crowd and the drums. Shitty way to go.


 * BIOGRAPHY


 * Upon learning about the origins and upbringing of Louis XVI, one cannot help but wonder if his unfortunate destiny was inevitable. He seemed to have been both born and raised to be remarkably mediocre.
 * His name at birth was Louis August de France. He was never expected to become king, as he was the third son of Louis, Dauphin of France, and grandson of Louis XV. Most of his parents' attention went to his oldest brother and heir to the throne, Louis duc de Bourgogne. Unfortunately, the young heir died of tuberculosis at age 9 in 1761. Four years later, his father also died from the same disease, and young Louis Auguste became Dauphin at age 11. His mother never recovered from the shock of losing both her eldest son and then her husband, and tuberculosis claimed her as well in 1767.
 * Largely ignored as a child, Louis' tutors did him no service by encouraging a natural shyness. They taught him that "austerity" and aloofness were desirable traits in a king and denoted strong character instead of encouraging hiim to be personable and decisive.
 * In May 1770, the fifteen-year-old Louis married fourteen-year-old Hapsburg Archduchess, Maria Antonia, in an arranged marriage. While they eventually procuded four children, all but one of whom died in childhood, it would seem that Louis' shyness continued in private as well as public, as it took eight years for Marie to conceive her firstborn.
 * Louis became king in 1774, upon the death of his grandfather. He was only twenty.
 * Louis' intentions were good, and he desired to help his subjects, but he had little understanding of how best to go about that. He lacked the personality to successfully navigate court politics and defy factions, and had assumed rule of a country facing debt and full of simmering resentment.
 * It can be said that while Louis did not actively cause most of the problems that eventually led to the Revolution in 1791, he certainly did little to effectively counter them. His natural insecurity, indecisiveness, and quite possibly clinical depression led him to avoid problems rather than deal with the unpleasantness of directly addressing them. He often sought escape in hobbies and activities, such as locksmithing and hunting. Indeed, he had only just returned from a hunting trip on July 14, when the Bastille fell.
 * "Is this a revolt?" he was said to have asked.
 * "No, sir," the Duke of Rochefoucauld-Liancourt replied. "It's a revolution".
 * The royal family was forcibly transferred from Versailles to Paris on October 7, 1789. Ignoring advice from his advisors, Louis first refused to abdicate, then agreed to an escape attempt. The family was again brought back to Paris. Suspicions of treason led to the capture of the royal palace. The First French Republic was proclaimed on September 21, 1792, and that November, evidence was discovered that proved suspicions of treason on Louis' part to be correct.
 * Charges were made against the entire family. Louis was found guilty by the National Assembly, and executed on January 21, 1793. 16:45, November 23, 2015 (UTC)
