Umm, Maybe 2 hours   ok, that should be fine   im going to ask you a set of questions, covering 3 categories, Editing, Community, and Knowledge   Ok   there is a time limit of 1 minute on the Knowledge questions to ensure no cheating   Ok <War_Clown> Yes, maybe we can get him to change it aye? <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> which do you want to do first? <BlaiddDdraig> <Erudito> Umm, Knowledge <War_Clown> HOLD IT <ThiefAC> Wait <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> righteo <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> remember the time limit <BlaiddDdraig> <Erudito> Yep. <ThiefAC> This isn't the dot dot man. <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> In what year was Leonardo da Vinci officially inducted in the Assassin Order? <BlaiddDdraig> <Erudito> 1531? <ThiefAC> FUUUUUUCK <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> haha, fell for the trik question, Leo was never made an Assassin, he was only an ally <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> *trick <War_Clown> HEY! <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> next question... <BlaiddDdraig> <Erudito> Damn. <ThiefAC> WAKE UP FOOL <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> Name three interesting facts about the number 72. <War_Clown> What the hell?! <BlaiddDdraig> <Erudito> It was the password for the vault that Ezio puts the Apple in. It is how old Rodrigo was when he died, and it is reference to Genesis with the number of Gods. <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> correct <ThiefAC> FUCKING <BlaiddDdraig> <Erudito> It is also how long until Abstergo launches their satellite after Brotherhood <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> even more correct, only needed 3 XD <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> Explain the meaning behind one of Subject 16’s messages written in blood in “Assassin’s Creed”. <War_Clown> GOD DAMN <ThiefAC> FLYING RATS <War_Clown> HEY! <BlaiddDdraig> <Erudito> What's with the boxes? Anyway there was a picture of a mountain and water that was a reference to an asian lost city similar to atlantis. <BlaiddDdraig> <Erudito> There were messages about Abstergo launching their satellite, written backwards. <ThiefAC> LET'S GO BOWLING NIKO. <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> ok, barely made the time limit there <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> and the boxes, im not sure, i dont see them here <BlaiddDdraig> <Erudito> And an eye on a pyramid with circles inside, reference to the satellite controlling peoples minds. <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> ONE! <ThiefAC> I DON'T WANT TO GO FUCKING BOWLING <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> i said one! XD <BlaiddDdraig> <Erudito> I like to be sure.... <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> no need to keep on going <War_Clown> ROMAN, I'M SORRY <BlaiddDdraig> <Erudito> Sorry. <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> Why exactly was Altaïr demoted to the rank of Novice, be as detailed as possible. <War_Clown> I GOT OTHER BUSINESS TO DO <BlaiddDdraig> <Erudito> He broke the three tenets of the Creed. He killed an innoccent, Gave away his position and Compromised the Brotherhood. This resulted in nearly losing the mission, and resulted in the death of one of his group <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> okay then <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> that concludes Knowledge <BlaiddDdraig> <Erudito> Ok. <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> which do you want to do next? <War_Clown> HEY!!!! <BlaiddDdraig> <Erudito> Editing <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> ok, remember, there is no longer a time limit <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> take as long as you like <BlaiddDdraig> <Erudito> Ok. <War_Clown> What the hell man?! <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> When you first joined here, what was the hardest aspect for you to grasp, what mistakes did you make? <BlaiddDdraig> <Erudito> I kept on adding uneeded information, and I also added categories that weren't correct. Elzchard helped me with that, and Assassin-Rayne fixed my mistakes. The hardest aspect was when I was trying to fix a page, all the spacings and pictures would be moved around strangely. When I tried to fix it, it would result in strange coding. D. Cello commented on that. <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> righteo <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> Are you aware of the manual of style, such as when to use bolding and italics, how to correctly write a header, and what tense or formatting to write an article in? <BlaiddDdraig> <Erudito> Yes, that's what I used to model the pages I did, you can check them if you like, they were the ACII: Discovery locations of Barcelona, Zaragoza and I can't remember the other ones. But with one of them, the picture wouldn't centre properly no matter what I did. <ThiefAC> DAYUM <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> ahh, no <BlaiddDdraig> BlaiddDdraig> i mean do you understand WHEN and HOW to use them <ThiefAC> AHH, YES. <BlaiddDdraig> <Erudito> Oh, Yes I know most of it. You use the Bolding (Press the 'B' in the text appearance section) for the headers, the Italics (Press the 'I' in the text appearance section) for quotes and you write headers by changing the paragraph format, and do you write in past tense? <BlaiddDdraig> <Erudito> Otherwise you write in a normal paragraph format for the rst. <War_Clown> WHAT THE HELL MAN?! <BlaiddDdraig> <Erudito> *rest <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> yes, usually in past tense <War_Clown> HEY! <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> depends on what the current canon time is <ThiefAC> THIS OFFICE SUCKS <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> Do you fully understand the meaning of the words “Revamp” and “Stub”, so you know what pages do and don’t need the templates? <War_Clown> HEY! YOH! <BlaiddDdraig> <Erudito> Ok <BlaiddDdraig> <Erudito> Sorry I took so long <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> thats fine, now the ^ next question ^ <BlaiddDdraig> <Erudito> Yes, the Revamp is when the page needs to be updated and fixed so that it is up to date and looks aesthetically pleasing, while a stub needs more information as it is only a short page. <ThiefAC> SONOVA <War_Clown> FUCKING OFFICE WITH NO WATER DISPENSER! <BlaiddDdraig> <Erudito> Galleries and pages like that don't need templates (I don't think) while all the informative pages to do with the AC series, and other major pages do. <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> okey <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> next <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> Is there any particular edit you’ve made that you are especially proud of, and would like us to analyse as an example of your best work? <War_Clown> NO! <BlaiddDdraig> <Erudito> I havn't really made any major edits, only small edits (Due to how well the Wiki is maintained, I can't find anything that really needs a lot of work), so I guess I'm not that proud of any of my edits. Sorry. <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> righteo, well that concludes Editing <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> now Community <ThiefAC> NOOOOOOOO <BlaiddDdraig> <Erudito> Alright <War_Clown> BLODDY DEVIL... <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> A person has left you an insulting message on your talk page for no apparent reason, how do you react? <ThiefAC> NOOOOOOOO <BlaiddDdraig> <Erudito> I don't really mind, I might ask them why they have left it there, but apart from that it doesn't worry me (I'm not insulted easily, I'm very carefree). <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> righto <War_Clown> HEY! <ThiefAC> RIGHTO MY ASS. <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> If you were granted the same rights as Staff, how would you use them? <BlaiddDdraig> <Erudito> I would use them to better the Wiki as best to my abilities, while also helping new comers in a friendly and helpful way, just as the staff helped me. I would also continue to consult the other members of staff to gain greater insights into how the Wiki is held together and just how I can help. <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> cool <ThiefAC> GAAAAG <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> 7. You have been accused of being rude and insulting to another person, upon review of your message, you find that you were in fact quite harsh. Yet you believe that what you said was justified, either because you or somebody else has had problems with them in the past, or you straight out think what you said was necessary. What do you do from here to prevent the problem from escalating? <War_Clown> GOD DAMN <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> bah, ignore the number at the beginning XD <BlaiddDdraig> <Erudito> I apologise to the person I have insulted and explain what I meant by it and why I said it. I will then try to make sure that we have an understanding as to why I said what I did, and hopefull leave on friendly terms :) <War_Clown> HEY! HEY! <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> good answer <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> You suspect a person of medal/badge abusing/hunting, what do you do? <BlaiddDdraig> <Erudito> Is there anything against medal/badge hunting? And how do you abuse it? <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> its when you purposely do things just to get the badges, and is a bannible offense <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> and abusing it just means the same as hunting, trying to get to the top of the leaderboard <BlaiddDdraig> <Erudito> Oh, I'd simply ask if they were hunting them/abusing them, and if so I'd inform them that it is in fact a bannible offence (In case they weren't aware, like me), effectively asking them to stop. If they continue to do so, I would inform an administrator of the matter. <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> but yeah, you can get banned for it, and is one of the worst offenses you can make here <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> ok, great answer <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> You notice a feud between two users that has gone unnoticed for quite some time, what would you do to resolve the conflict? <ThiefAC> DAMN. <ThiefAC> OH WELL. <War_Clown> I HAVE HAD IT WITH THESE MOTHERFUCKING SNAKES, IN THIS MOTHERFUCKING PLANE! <BlaiddDdraig> <Erudito> I would try to determine what the feud is about, if I can't I will simply ask them. Once I find out what is wrong, I will try to act as a mediator between the two in order to conclude the feud in a manner which benifits all. If I can't do this, I will inform them that it might be neccessary to take the matter to someone higher, such as an Admin. <BlaiddDdraig> <Erudito> And if so, I would take the matter to an Admin. <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> nice answer <BlaiddDdraig> <Erudito> Thanks <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> okay, that concludes Community, but there is one final questions <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> *-s <BlaiddDdraig> <Erudito> Ok <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> fail... XD <BlaiddDdraig> <Erudito> XD <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> Do you have any questions concerning the Wiki, its Staff, or their roles and responsibilities; or any final comments you would like us to take into consideration before we conclude this interview? <War_Clown> ENOUGH <BlaiddDdraig> <Erudito> Umm, I can't think of any questions. Just a comment that I hope you will allow me to become an Apprentice so that I can help the Wiki and learn how to become a better contributer too. <BlaiddDdraig> <BlaiddDdraig> okay then, that concludes this interview, i will bring these logs to the sysops, and one of them will alert you of our decision
 * War_Clown loads his hand gun
 * ThiefAC spawns Cobra
