Hey
You're from Philippines too? Na-iintindihan mo ba to? -- War Clown Wanna Talk? 12:48, August 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Siyempre, naiintindihan ko naman. Pinoy ka rin pala :) =GuardDog 13:05, August 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * :Naman! XD Bihira ako makakita ng pilipino sa mga wiki, lalo na dito, bihira satin yung naglalaro ng AC eh XD -- War Clown Wanna Talk? 13:10, August 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oo nga, halos DotA at Starcraft at ibang mga pc games lang ang nilalaro ng mga kilala ko :p Sa net lang ako nakakahanap ng mga ibang AC fan =GuardDog 13:19, August 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Haha, pareho tayo. Halos ako lang naglalaro ng AC sa mga kaibigan ko, lahat sila puro DotA at Crossfire XD Bute naman di ako nag-iisa =) -- War Clown Wanna Talk? 13:23, August 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Lol, how can you play DotA? I always get banned from servers for not being Korean, lmao *RAGE*. "Tangang marugo laro lider" >:(  The T h i e f 22:11, August 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Haha don't ask me, I personally don't play any of those XD =GuardDog 23:55, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Good Job
Good job with the wiki so far man. Keep it up, and you're bound to get on someone's good side (other than mine). Heck, you might even get in the staff. All you need is to do something extraordinary. Something to separate you from the other regulars. You best keep an eye out for said opportunity. Why I sent you this, just felt I needed to get this out in the open =P. Regards. -- War Clown Wanna Talk? 08:29, October 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hey, thanks a lot for the acknowledgement :) I've really gotten attached to this Wiki-- so I'll keep working, and make sure to look out for that opportunity =GuardDog 14:35, October 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * War Clown, you're talking like being in the staff is a reward for good edits. It isn't. It's a responsibility, not a reward. GuardDog will have to show that he is a great contributor worthy of bearing that burden. -- Master Sima Yi 14:51, October 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's what I meant. So far he's showing that he can be trusted with such a responsibility. I noticed, he ain't asking the other staff members for help. He's doing things by himself, and does so without going out of line. That's what I noticed at least. -- War Clown Wanna Talk? 05:05, October 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * @GD - I hope you don't mind, but I added this new thing Thief came up with to your profile, called merits. It's like a little reward for those who has earned the trust of one of the staff members. Ayus lang ba sayo? -- War Clown Wanna Talk? 07:18, October 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Siyempre ayus sa akin :) Salamat ah =GuardDog 15:40, October 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Wala yun. Ui, gabi na ah. Di ka makatulog? Hahaha! XD-- War Clown Wanna Talk? 15:46, October 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ikaw rin ata XD Haha~ =GuardDog 16:12, October 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Walang magawa eh. Ang solusyon diyan ay manood ng.......Hahaha! XD -- War Clown Wanna Talk? 16:17, October 23, 2010 (UTC)

The Great Depression
Do you know how to get The Great Depression achievement from Project Legacy? I'm asking because I don't know and you probably do since you submitted the picture to the website.


 * I'm not quite sure, but I suspect that it's an achievement for buying more than 10 territories before the 10-maximum limit was implied. I had over 30 Assassin's Guild at one point for example, though they were reduced to 10 when the 10-max limit was started. The supposed "Depression" was to give reason for getting rid of the extra territories. (Also, I'd appreciate it if you signed your posts, thanks) =GuardDog 23:53, November 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sorry I didn't sign up here until just a few minutes ago and thank you it stinks for the fact that I bought ten of every building and decided I didn't need anymore until later, but they added the ten max and so I never got the achievement. = Daxter99


 * It's no problem :) And don't worry about missing that one, I'm sure there're a lot more achievements to come that you can focus on. =GuardDog 01:39, November 10, 2010 (UTC)

Istruttorium
Guard, I've been watching you for some time, and War seems to have taken quite a interest in you. Did you ever thinked about joining the Istruttorium? -- D. Cello 04:10, November 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * I honestly haven't considered it, but now that you mention it, I really would like to join, if given the opportunity. It definitely matches what I'm generally interested in doing for the Wiki =GuardDog 04:24, November 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Contact War Clown/Thief and say that I considered you worthy. Whatever happens after that is up to them and you ;D -- D. Cello 04:38, November 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah there's no harm in creating a nomination. Right now I'm considering two users for the Istruttori, you were one of them (and you still are). Contact me on my page so I know you're sure and what you want me to write as your nom description. Does this count as D. being the nominator, myself or you [Guard]? Lol, . -- T H I E F 04:50, November 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Take me out of this, I don't want people crying cause I'm taking sides ;D -- D. Cello 04:59, November 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * When he contacts me, I'll just list him as nominator. :) -- T H I E F 05:27, November 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes Thief, I'd just like to nominate myself then :) I'll post a more official note on your page in a while, along with that nom description too. But either way, thanks a lot, to both you and D. Cello. =GuardDog 13:10, November 10, 2010 (UTC)

Istruttori
Kaibigan, congrats. Ikaw ngayon ay isa na sa mga tauhan ng wiki na ito. Ngayon na isa ka na sa amin, dapat patunayan mo sa kanila, at sa akin, na karapat-dapat ka maging Istruttori. Ang hirap mag-tagalog kaya pipigil na ako dito :P

What follows here are the official Istruttori greetings. Read it thoroughly, so you'll know your new responsibilities. Once again, Congratulations. Hope you don't disappoint. ^_^ -- War Clown Wanna Talk? 11:29, November 14, 2010 (UTC)

Istruttori Guild
Welcome to the Istruttori. You now have the honor to use a Istruttore Badge on your profile, just insert on top of the page and  to the infoboxes. Information about your duties and a list of fellow companions of the team can be acessed at the Istruttori project page. As a Istruttore, you also have acess to the rollback function, which allows you to revert vandalisms or bad-faith edits with one click, on a quickier and pratical way. Safety and peace. -- War Clown Wanna Talk? 11:29, November 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Maraming salamat ha, War :D Magtatrabaho ako para maging karapat-dapat sa posisyon--I'll keep working, and keep my eye on the Istruttori page for updates too then. Thanks again, and I really hope I'll meet expectations :) =GuardDog 14:08, November 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * I know you can. Check the Staff Board now, there's some announcements you need to read. I'll try to keep the native language a minimum from now on. Barok ako mag-tagalog eh. Haha! :P -- War Clown Wanna Talk? 14:12, November 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks ;) Haha, and that's fine if you do, it's not like I can speak it straight either :p Also, okay, I'll go check the board too =GuardDog 14:19, November 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Congrats mate, good job and well deserved! -- <font color="#000080">T <font color="#0b0076">H <font color="#15006c">I <font color="#200062">E <font color="#2b0059">F 22:09, November 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Thief :D =GuardDog 22:35, November 14, 2010 (UTC)

Memory Images
Just out of curiosity, where did you get the full picture of the memory images? I don't recall seeing them anywhere... Sekuiya 18:18, November 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Took them from the game itself-- they're just the (uncropped) images behind the buttons for each memory. =GuardDog 22:30, November 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, that seems interesting, could you teach me how you did it? Sekuiya 02:10, November 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure-- though I use a Mac, so if you're using a Windows, I'm not quite sure if the method is different. On the web browser, simply open the list of components of the page and you can view all sounds, images and links used on it. =GuardDog 02:23, November 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't seem to find that option in my browser, maybe is a browser thing and not a OS thing. I am indeed using Windows, are you using Safari or something like that? Btw, couldn't find that but while searching for a similar option I found some hidden achievement that are quite interesting. I'll post them later
 * Btw, with that option can you also get a clean and bigger picture of the missions image? Sekuiya 05:06, November 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Scratch that, found it, along with all the sounds and stuff, now this is a really interesting tool. Just a little messy in my current browser, will have to try other and see. Sekuiya 05:31, November 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep, I saw those Achievements too, though I don't think it's a good idea to post them until they're officially released :) They must be still working on the PvP system. Anyway, it really is a bit difficult to sift through, but useful all the same. =GuardDog 09:48, November 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Awww... Oh well, if you think so I'll just save them on a folder here in my computer till they're officially managed, afterall, after they're officially announced they will be gray for most of us! :P
 * I'm looking forward to this PvP game, it seems rather interesting, something like Travian or something, haven't seen many Facebooks with features like that! 8D Sekuiya 13:31, November 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * I know, right? XD I really hope it'll involve anyone who plays PL and not just friends, because I honestly don't have any who play it :p It'll be fun if there are a lot of choices for people to assassinate of defend or things like that. =GuardDog 01:58, November 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, for now you only have the skirmish option, but other may soon follow. I already won 200 games so for now I'll stay away from skirmish till the rest is available! Sekuiya 04:56, November 18, 2010 (UTC)

can you help
gaurddog may i ask for your helpNighthawkassassin 02:28, November 15, 2010 (UTC)sincerely nighthawkNighthawkassassin 02:28, November 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Of course you may, what do you need? =GuardDog 02:30, November 15, 2010 (UTC)

I got banned before for supposed vandalism cause I didnt know how to work a wikiNighthawkassassin 15:42, November 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * I took a look at your page, seems like you were only given a temporary block because of uploading already existing images. If that's the case, all you need to do is wait out the ban, and come back when it's over. Or are you talking about a different account? =GuardDog 00:53, November 24, 2010 (UTC)

Holy I just noticed your admin and it was this account


 * I'm not actually an admin, just a moderator, but that's beside the point. And I just realized you're not actually banned if you're able to edit, you were just given a warning. What exactly were you asking help for? Do you need someone to help you with the AC:B walkthrough? =GuardDog 00:00, November 25, 2010 (UTC)

no I was just brand new to wiki its fine now


 * Okay then, feel free to ask if you need anything. =GuardDog 00:41, November 25, 2010 (UTC)

yeah do i just need to visit the wiki to get the novice badge or do i need to edit im not completely sure Nighthawkassassin 15:53, November 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well you already have the badge, but its for doing both, visiting the wiki and editing at least once. Though don't focus on the badges, just try going around the wiki and adding or fixing what ever you can. =GuardDog 00:43, November 26, 2010 (UTC)

Im not focusing on it I was just wondering because it hadnt shown up earlier so I was confused


 * To further reference for both of ya: (hwak as a warning, Guard as a instruction) edits for badge are punishible by blocking and eventually, banning. -- D. Cello 01:43, November 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay then, thanks for the heads up, Cello =GuardDog 02:05, November 26, 2010 (UTC)

sorry D I just asked on how that worked I wasnt very sure on the novice thing Nighthawkassassin 02:50, November 26, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, thanks dude!!! For correcting the mistakes that I make in the page Codex's Journey.


 * You're welcome I guess, but no need to thank me, really. This is a Wiki, we're all expected to correct each other. Anyway, please remember to sign your posts, Trainkun2313, thanks. =GuardDog 03:50, November 26, 2010 (UTC)

Can my all games gallery stay? so people can enjoy


 * Sorry, you'll need to be more specific. Do you mean the gallery on your user page? And please remember to sign your posts. =GuardDog 01:22, December 1, 2010 (UTC)

Gaurd did I do good on the artifacts page Nighthawkassassin 01:56, December 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, the page is fine, though you should really stop asking people if you did well. Don't expect a pat on the head every time you edit something, it's the purpose of the Wiki. Just keep working, you'll be praised when you deserve it, not when you ask for it. =GuardDog 02:37, December 1, 2010 (UTC)

Sixth Apple page deletion?
Sorry, I'm not really sure where to get ahold of people for this. I posted on the Deletion discussion page, as well, but the argument is that there are two Apples, because there is no way that Houdini and Napoleon got ahold of the Ezio's Apple (considering since that 16 hints that the Templars killed Houdini for the Apple -- why would they put it back in the Temple?), since Desmond currently has it. If compromise has to be made, perhaps just a sub-heading on the First Apple page? Because I'm not inclined to believe that this is a really huge error on Ubisoft's part, considering the meticulous attention they've paid to the series thus far. -- A Black Rabbit 23:53, December 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think they confirmed it was the same apple, just that it was A apple... -- D. Cello 23:56, December 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * I assumed it was the same apple because of the associations listed on the original First Apple page. At the very least, either one is listed as the first Piece or Apple, which would negate it being Ezio's Apple, because by that time Ezio has already hidden his Apple. But if I'm wrong on the First being both Houdini's and Napoleon's, my error. --- A Black Rabbit 00:03, December 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * I really am open to the possibility, though personally I feel it needs more evidence and referencing than the likelihood of Ubisoft's meticulous attention. Don't worry, the page won't be deleted if people feel it's viable, that's what the Candidates for Deletion page is for. =GuardDog 23:59, December 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Whats the protocol in editing articles up for deletion? Am I allowed to continue editing, or at least revert what back to what I wrote so people can read it? -- A Black Rabbit 00:03, December 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Treat it as a normal article. It may or may not get deleted =] -- D. Cello 00:09, December 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, alright. Thanks for your help! :) -- A Black Rabbit 00:26, December 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, alright. Thanks for your help! :) -- A Black Rabbit 00:26, December 2, 2010 (UTC)

Updating the merit
GD, since we can't edit the user pages of others anymore, you're gonna have to update the merit yourself. Remove the source code of the merit posted on your page now, and replace it with this one.

(template)

Delete the template above once you've placed it on your page. We wouldn't want other users taking credit for you merit now, would we? Yeah. As you were :D <font color="#FFFFFF">Jacques le Blanc Reception Area 12:58, December 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Got it, thanks for letting me know :D And interesting choice of title too, thanks~ =GuardDog 13:16, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'll be giving out titles instead of a "Seal of Approval" now :P I think you know pretty well why you're called "Makata" right? :D <font color="#FFFFFF">Jacques le Blanc Reception Area 13:29, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Titles seem more unique to the user, it's a good idea XD And yep, I know-- I like it, feels fitting :D =GuardDog 15:14, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the title suits you best :D BTW, do you know some deep tagalog words that translate to "watcher"? Because the only word that I came up with is "tanod" and...well...it sounds kinda weird right? I mean, you know what a tanod is right? <font color="#FFFFFF">Jacques le Blanc Reception Area 16:39, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Uh... regrettably, my Filipino vocabulary is really shallow :p "Tanod" is just like "bantay" right? That doesn't sound too bad. The only other thing that comes to mind is "matanglawin" which is pretty far XD Haha sorry, don't think I can help with that =GuardDog 23:12, December 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * "matanglawin", hahaha! Kuya Kim! xD Yeah, I guess Tanod ain't too bad, so all is good. :D <font color="#FFFFFF">Jacques le Blanc Reception Area 03:36, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

Deletion Marks on Multi-Player Weapons
GD, I see you put on deletion marks on several, if not all, multi-player weapons. I take it that you have a good reason for doing so. Well, let's hear it. <font color="#FFFFFF">Jacques le Blanc Reception Area 02:16, December 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * I do, and yes, I've marked all of them for deletion. As approved by Cello, as can be seen here, all Multiplayer weapon pages will be deleted, and instead merged under a single article, Multiplayer Weapons. =GuardDog 02:30, December 20, 2010 (UTC)

Colosseum Passion Play
Thanks for the rewording you done to the Passion Play article, improved it alot. AssassinRome 13:42, December 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * You're welcome, but no need to thank me, really. We're all helping each other out here :) =GuardDog 13:48, December 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well that's what you're famous for, grammer, rewording. Still thanks for the improvement ; ) AssassinRome 13:52, December 31, 2010 (UTC)

Subject 16 Vandal
Technically, GuardDog, that would be the vandal's third strike. :P I've already reported him to War, but he doesn't seem to be around. I would've reported him to Sima personally (I talk to him on MSN when he's around) but he hasn't been on. I assume that even though you're Istruttori, you don't have the ability to block anyone yet? -Assassin-of-Rayne- 12:28, January 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh. Haha, guess I only saw the last two. :p Persistent, isn't he? Anyway, unfortunately no, I don't have the ability to block-- I usually go to War for those. Don't worry, he's usually pretty punctual for that, I'm sure he'll see your report soon enough. =GuardDog 12:32, January 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I hear you. :D Persistent indeed, you should've seen some of the other vandal's earlier that War dealt with, they were worse. XD But yeah, I've been offered to join the Istruttori by the other guys but felt like it wasn't my time to step up to that plate just yet. Anyway, War is pretty punctual, I'm sure this guy/girl won't be around much longer. Usually when neither War or Sima are available I'll hunt up Thief, but that's pretty rare. -Assassin-of-Rayne- 12:41, January 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yep, I imagine some pretty interesting (though annoying) vandals have come through here XD And on a different note, if you don't mind my asking, why don't you feel like joining the Istruttorium? (No need to answer if I'm prying too much :P) I've seen you around a lot, and (from what I've seen) you've been doing good work on the wiki, for much longer than I've been around. I'd vote for you, if that helps :D Though of course, it's always your choice. =GuardDog 12:50, January 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the confidence, Guard. :P No, you could never pry too much with me, I'm a fairly open person to my friends. And I just haven't felt like joining the Istruttori ranks because, well...I guess I'm a little bit like Leonardo, I feel like my contributions lack a little, because I barely get time to actually edit on a scale of my preference. Many of my edits are small, well-versed and good in quality, and sure they add up over time but I want to be able to have the time to make more profound edits before I nominate myself. My personal opinion, I just feel like I haven't done enough. :P haha But that's me, I want to really earn my place, you know? And sorry, this kind of turned into a rant. hahaha -Assassin-of-Rayne- 13:55, January 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Haha don't worry about it, it isn't really a rant :) Leonardo's a pretty good analogy-- I'm sure the position will remain open for you whenever you feel you've reached your personal standard :D Good luck to you then =GuardDog 14:35, January 1, 2011 (UTC)

Rewords
GD, check this out. Do you see any grammatical errors on the right? Which version is better between the two? There are newer revisions there, so you might want to check them out too. Thanks in advance. Happy New Year :) -- <font color="#FFFFFF">Jacques le Blanc Reception Area 14:29, January 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Though there strictly aren't any grammatical errors on the right (other than "he caught" instead of simply "caught"), by personal preference, I like the one on the left. Guess I'll go look over the article, and maybe do a little rewording myself. Anyway, happy new year to you too :D Hope this will be a good one. =GuardDog 14:40, January 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Bene, bene. The rewords were getting kinda out of hand. It's like a rushed thesis entry. Anyways, thanks in advance for the reword. Very few Filipinos are good in English. Glad you're one of the few who are :D Happy New Year once again. Let's make it big this year :D -- <font color="#FFFFFF">Jacques le Blanc Reception Area 14:47, January 1, 2011 (UTC)

Memory Project
Hey Guardog I've been noticing your contributions to the memory articles and I must tell you, you are a big help :). Your wording the paragraghs to richer vocabulary and using better words expected in this wiki. If your not a member of the project already it would be great if you feel like joining, if you don't want to it would be nice if you continue helping me out, good job pal :). DanMan7308 15:25, January 3, 2011 (UTC) DanMan7308


 * It's no problem, rewording's my specialty :) Though I don't really feel like joining any specific projects right now, I'll make sure to help out in any Memory article I see, just as I would for any other article :D I'm just glad my contributions are helpful =GuardDog 01:36, January 4, 2011 (UTC)

Picture preferences
Hey GuardDog. I thought I'd involve you on a couple of points I want to bring up with my fellow users.

Right, firtstly: Something that has been bugging me for a little while now is the number of pictures on this wiki that depict Ezio in a variety of different colour robes that, canonically, we don't know he ever wore. It's all well and good to assume that, since the option to dye clothes is in-game he canonically did it, but which colour, and when? The same goes for the armour. I think we need to take a good look at all the pictures on-site that depict Ezio wearing coloured robes and, if possible, replace them with similar photos showing Ezio in white robes (and if possible without armour).

My second point is the number of photos on site that, unfortunately, include some of the, for lack of a better word, "Animus glow". A prime example of what I mean can be seen in this photo, which shows Ezio's target in a white glow. Now, unless the image is being used to depict something explicitly related to the Animus, I think we should once again replace all these photos with something that does not show the Animus glow.

I know this will probably take some time, and be a large amount of work, but I do think it will be a positive contribution to the wiki, as well as a positive form of mutual interaction between the site's contributors. What do you think? -- Jasca Ducato Council Chamber Assassination record 19:55, January 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * I agree with you completely. The dyed or armored pictures can stay while there yet isn't an alternative, but you're right they should be replaced as soon as possible. Though personally, I feel the pictures with dyed robes should be the priority in being replaced, as armor or Animus effects can be negligible-- though that's just an opinion. Hopefully we can get them all replaced.


 * That being said, I'm assuming no new such images should be tolerated then? Or shall they also be allowed until an alternative is uploaded? =GuardDog 04:29, January 8, 2011 (UTC)

The Creed
Guard, I just saw your edit on the creed page, and it puzzles me. Do you not know that in this wiki, we don't refer to historical articles from a real-world point of view? I do not wanna see mentions of player, game or buttons in the pages containing lore info, except if they are lcoated in the trivia. Roger? -- D. Cello 21:34, January 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * I apologize for not noticing the error, but in some defense, I added very little and mostly reworded existing content. May I please know exactly what portion you're referring to? Thanks, please let me know, and it won't happen again. =GuardDog 01:23, January 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't recall any specific part, but I saw plenty of sentences like "for example, in the first game, Altaïr broke the tenet" and "when the player kills a civilian, he loses one third of health", among other instances. Just make sure to keep it in-universe, and feel free to reprimand and/or correct other users who do so, mmkay? ;D -- D. Cello 01:26, January 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yep, I got it :) =GuardDog 01:38, January 11, 2011 (UTC)

Vote
GD, get on the Staff Board. Vote for Red or White. We need to get this done. -- <font color="#FFFFFF">Jacques le Blanc Reception Area 07:07, January 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yessir. Going there now. =GuardDog 07:15, January 22, 2011 (UTC)
