Thanks for the blog comment and the entry on my talk page. I loved the "spelling Nazi" comment on your user page. I game under the same name that I edit under, "Belegthalion". If you are a PS3 gamer then please feel free to send me a friend invitation. I love MP gaming with intelligent gamers. Have fun!!

You've been doing absolutely brilliant work on the wiki! I have been meaning to comment to you for awhile now. It's really appreciated. I hope you keep it up. Cheers -- Tiktaalik 04:29, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

Hi
Hi Jack,

Long time no see, how are you.

I see you have been busy, keep up the good work. What platform are you playing on. ?

You sure know these 2 games
Dang Jack, you know alot about these 2 games, and those screenshots you put up were preetty awesome.

You got a Playstation 3?

We should play some RDR sometime, my name on the PS3 is modernkiller93. But i gotta get online first, because i don't have the $ to get the cable/routher or whatever yet. Thesilentgun 08:28, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

Scarlet Lady
Ok man, and idk why alot of Ps3 gamers ask you thier names, i guess alot of people like the PS3. Anyway, you heard of the scarlet lady? She's thst woman that appears alot on RDR stuff. She's the mascot of RDR i think, and i got a hunch. I think she either looks like the scarlet woman from Grand Theft Auto 4, or is the same woman but was given a old west makeover.

Vandalism?
Hi I am not 100% certain but I think someone just vandalized the Bolt Action Rifle page as all it has now on it is the achievements that can be earned with it and it does not seem that a Red Dead Redemption page should have so little info. I apologize if by the time you are reading it has been reverted but if not I felt I should inform someone.Foxtrot12 22:57, July 1, 2010 (UTC) Sorry I mistoke that you had rollback powers and was an admin feel stupid I thought you would be seeing you are number three on the wiki my bad. Just ignore itFoxtrot12 23:01, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

Failure Conditions

Mission Dialogues
I'll be implementing mission dialogues in all walkthrough, then moving the walkthroughs to pages, well exception for the objective and fail conditions. I'll be forward to reply any opinions concerning about that.--Blaff 60 22:58, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry for that...I guess you're right about that, separating all the dialogues (i.e would be a good idea...--Blaff 60 20:54, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

Good structure, I'll be working on it...--Blaff 60 17:29, July 12, 2010 (UTC)

Is it necessary??
I'm answering a question in Talk:Missions in Redemption that, is it necessary to put 100% completion list on the page, since there is the main article?? I'm still wondering why...maybe you can answer or put some opinions on that question to avoid any arguments on that.--Blaff 60 16:10, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

Bounty Hunter Pics
Thanks for adding the wanted posters for all those outlaws! They're still stubs, but they look more complete now. I'm curious, where did you find them?Rocket8808 20:07, July 13, 2010 (UTC)User:Rocket8808


 * No problem, the bounty hunter category works better anyway. Does this mean that the outlaw category no longer needs to exist?  If so, I don't mind.  The fact that all the criminals (bounties) reside on one category seems good enough.Rocket8808 20:31, July 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Why was that lest message so small?Rocket8808 20:32, July 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Because you put a space before the paragraph started and that makes the whole thing go wacky for some reason. I fixt it for you...


 * And I don't see any reason why Outlaws can't exist, tho' others might have issue with the fact that both categories are essentially the same thing. Your biggest problems could come from Blaff60 who tends to remove things he finds superfluous. If your category gets removed, please understand that was not my intention when adding 'Bounty Targets'.


 * Even tho I'm #3 or whatever, I don't think I own the place. :)

Vandalism (in game)
I noticed that all of the story missions mention that the player will fail the mission if they commit vandalism. I was curious and checked out the stats in my game, to discover that I had 0 counts of vandalism. Might you have any idea what it is? If you do know, or know someone who knows, I think I might try it out. Thanks!Rocket8808 23:26, July 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * From what I understand, vandalism is kind of a rare thing. The only thing I can think of at the moment are the clay pots in Escalera that you've probably ignored up til now. If you break one just wandering around in the game you get a Bounty level, so I imagine if you broke one during a mission that would fail it for you. I think if you shoot streetlamps in Blackwater, that counts, too. And possibly lanterns in other locations...


 * I have to be honest, I haven't tried them to see what constitutes vandalism. I haven't looked at my count to see if I've actually committed vandalism.

Sorry if this didn't help much...

Missions
I always thought they were in quotation marks, not italicized. General consensus rules, though. -- CoD addict 08:09, July 14, 2010 (UTC)

 * Technically, they really should be in quotation marks, but in reality, what we should keep is up to the community. -- CoD addict
 * Goddamnit, you're right.


 * I just finished the New Austin missions, and it even looks better. Thanks for the suggestion.


 * --JackFrost23 07:41, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

pictures
This seems off topic, but do you know how to transfer a picture transferred from a youtube video into a saved file. I can only save it as a word document, and I don't know how to make it a save file (aka for adding to the wiki, or setting my background). Let me know, and if you don't, try to recommend someone who might.Rocket8808 21:09, July 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I don't have photoshop. Should I download it? Some links promise free downloads...Rocket8808 22:04, July 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks a bunch, this will look great. I just came across a really cool trailer for the game in which it shows Edgar Ross holding the High Power Pistol (favorite weapon, in case you were wondering).  Also Ross is my favorite character (I'm kind of alone on that one...).  Anyway, thanks again!Rocket8808 22:34, July 14, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Wanted Posters
They don't? If it's not too much trouble can you state which ones are wrong and I will either remove or replace them, because I'm pretty sure most are right, like Mescalero Mike, Shep Thomas and Billy Sanch

Oh that. Yeah I knew their NAMES are different but theyre the same character basically. So Ijust wanted to show who they were in single player and a nifty picture of them too. So yeah it should just be clearer I guess. Btw hope you dont mind me using your youtube trick for photos too. Alddous1031 01:31, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

Alright. I guess I'll leave it up to the other people. If they want to take the posters off, I won't stop em. I'll let them decide.Alddous1031 01:41, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Wiki Achievement Question
That's not something I can do. You see, the achievements aren't something the admins of the wiki can control, except for names, images and what achievements exist. Instead you'll have to contact User:Ausir and see if he can help you, as he's the one that actually works with Wikia. [[User:KristofferAG|- 18:57, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

 * I appreciate you saying so. I'm glad I could help, I really love this game.

u r awesome


 * Why, thank you, my anonymous friend...

RE: titles
It's always been a rule. For example, the page "Harold MacDougal" is not called "Professor Harold MacDougal" because we don't use titles. However, I don't know what to do when the only thing we know is "Mrs." or "Ms." If you think it was better the old way, just move it back to "Mrs. Bush" and "Mrs. Ditkiss." I don't really care until someone can find their full names in the credits. Thanks for your concern, though. -- CoD addict · (talk) 00:45, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

Revert
Why did you revert my change?

Not only does it not make sense that it would add up to 100.5% on the PS3, but I also just confirmed that completing Solomon's Folly doesn't add anything to the completion statistic.


 * Uh, that wasn't me.


 * I re-added the Beecher's Hope Safehouse (Jack's Room) back onto the page because someone had removed it. I don't know who removed your edit, but you can check the page history and find out...


 * JackFrost23 20:56, August 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * I did check the history. I guess you must've done it without noticing. Try to be more careful in future. - 81.109.18.32 22:24, August 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Nope, it wasn't me, I know I didn't touch whatever you added. In fact, I hadn't even read the text until you cited it.


 * This is the third time I've posted this link which shows that you did indeed revert my edit at the same time as you reverted an edit by another user. I seem to recall there's a strange 'feature' of MediaWiki whereby using the "undo" link will undo multiple edits if said edits are from anonymous users, hence the warning about being careful. Vandalism due to ignorance is still vandalism.


 * Vandalism?! You have got to be fucking kidding me. You've got some serious balls for someone who won't even register to the site. Posting your IP isn't a bright idea, by the way.


 * So allow me to throw an accusation your way: If you added what you did and at the same time removed Beecher's Hope Safehouse (Jack's Room) from the 100% Completion page, then, yes, I undid your edit. If indeed you were the tool who removed that safehouse, then you shouldn't have and I'm sorry that your other edit got caught up in my correctly reversing a poor edit.


 * If you check the page history, you can see my edit, and the edit by the "tool" who removed the safehouse are indeed two separate edits, so perhaps you should check your facts before throwing accusations around.


 * And so we're clear, this link shows the edit I reversed and your text is nowhere in sight. I have no idea why it says I touched anything else because the only edit I was reversing was the removal of Jack's Room. I'm sorry your text is gone, but I'm afraid it still wasn't me.


 * As far as my being more careful, I am a registered user and you are not, so I think you know where you can stick that, my anonymous friend.


 * -JackFrost23 22:37, August 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hey, there's no need to be rude. :/ - 81.109.18.32 23:54, August 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * You really have no sense of irony, do you?


 * -JackFrost23 03:59, August 3, 2010 (UTC)

Hmm. Turns out I had an account I registered ages ago. :-)


 * Then why aren't you using it?


 * Because I forgot I had it. It was from a different Wikia site, and it was a long time ago. Frankly I don't understand why you feel the need to be so hostile towards anonymous users.


 * Not all of them, just you (well and the actual vandals). And I think we both know how you earned my hostility.

I'll start again, as it's getting a bit too indenty for my liking. Here's the diff I was referring to:-


 * Yes, I'm sure you'd like to drop that last conversation as it was getting out of your control.


 * No. It was because it wasn't going anywhere useful. I was merely trying to point out a fact, and you seemed to want a flamewar. Sorry, but if you want a flamewar, try someone else. Similarly, I haven't replied to the more flamebaity parts of your last reply.


 * There is no flame war, just me throwing back at you the pile of shit you keep trying to hand me. And it's amazing how people who piss other people off on the internet tend to whip out the flame war card when the argument they started doesn't go their way.


 * I don't need to see your fucking edit page again, I know what it looks like. When I undid the edit in this link (y'know the one from the conversation you avoided up above?) the return page did not show that any other text was removed or added except for the code for Jack's Room. If all of those other edits had shown, I would've taken the time to make sure they didn't get deleted.


 * I do not carelessly edit articles and I don't know why those changes got attributed to me.


 * I already explained (twice) why those changes were attributed to you. I was expecting something more like: "Ah. I didn't know that. Thanks for pointing that out."


 * There was no 'explanation' just blatant finger-pointing. And apparently you didn't read the part where I mentioned that if your text was shown as being removed I would've taken steps to make sure it wasn't. I did not edit your code, perhaps an anonymous user did and then it got attributed to me because I was the last registered editor. Maybe it's one of those 'quirks' you keep mentioning...

What it looks as if you've done is rolled back to the version by The Cool Bear, but in doing so, you also undid two other valid edits, in addition to the one you were trying to revert by "the tool". I'll go back and add in the other one you accidentally undid.


 * No, you need to check the link I gave you so you can see it was a simple reversal of an edit by someone else (not Cool Bear).


 * I fully understand what you were trying to do. It's just unfortunate that the MediaWiki software has a few quirks which can sometimes get in the way of an editor's best intentions.


 * Yes, and I fully understand what you're trying to do as well. It's just unfortunate that the human brain has a few quirks which can sometimes get in the way of people with giant egos being able see their own shortcomings.

As I said before, I seem to recall a 'feature' of MediaWiki whereby if you click on the "undo" link, it will also undo edits by anonymous users prior to the one you clicked on, so it's prudent to check the changes you make with the "Show changes" button before you submit them. I apologize if my earlier comment about "being careful" sounded a bit rude, but I just assumed you were already aware of this.


 * So, you know about this and still choose to do edits anonymously? Why am I still even talking to you about this, then? Use your registered account ferfucksake.

I was really only trying to determine if you'd deliberately reverted it, so as to avoid a potential 'edit war'. - Aya42 14:11, August 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Dude, it's one goddamn sentence and you've turned it into a huge issue, so the only one I'm worried about starting an 'edit war' is you.


 * Sure. It's only one sentence this time, but were you to make a similar mistake in the future, you could end up doing far more damage.


 * Fuck you and your "this time". After over 3,000 edits you are the first to complain, so I really do think the problem is yours in this case. You know why? Because I'm not a careless editor like you're trying to insinuate... (keep this sentence in mind when you try and figure out why I'm being hostile)


 * Oh, and thanks for naming the person I was talking about, I was trying to keep that on the downlow so people had to put in some work to find out who I was referring to. And you give people a helpful link to that person, well done. I knew full-well who made the edit, I was just being a dick to you after your accusations rubbed me the wrong way.


 * Perhaps the lesson for today is to be less insulting to other users, then you wouldn't have to attempt to conceal the targets of your insults.


 * Perhaps the lesson for today is that you're a condescending asshole who thinks very highly of himself to the point where he thinks his shit doesn't stink.


 * If you wanted to know if I deliberately removed your edit WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST ASK ME THAT? I would've told you "No." and we could've moved on with our lives.


 * I kinda did, but you claimed you didn't remove it. Something which you've finally realized you were mistaken about.


 * No, I realize that you are mistaken - your whole diatribe is to try and pin blame on me anyway. Over one goddamn sentence of superfluous importance.


 * Or is your sense of 'being right' so overwhelming that you need to keep this going?


 * -JackFrost23 15:54, August 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Now that you (seem to) understand your error, and the potential damage you could unwittingly do in the future, my work here is done, especially as you seem reluctant to engage in a rational discourse. - Aya42 16:46, August 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Look, you clearly don't want to have any 'discourse', you just want to tell me that I made an 'error' and that I need to be more cognizant of your editing and let it end there. I have engaged you, you just don't want to deal with what I'm saying. If you find my terseness disconcerting perhaps you should reflect on the way you've been handling yourself here.


 * You've made 5 edits total (which includes re-adding your sentence) and you're lecturing me? What balls...


 * Your problem, of course, is that you fail to see that you had any kind of contribution to your edit being removed.


 * So fuck off you self-absorbed prick.


 * No, seriously, don't reply.


 * -JackFrost23 17:43, August 3, 2010 (UTC)

And for my own edification, one final response:

I Really Thought You Should See This
Aya42 -

Against my better judgment I've decided to contact you because I feel this really needs to be brought to your attention.

Below you will find one of those infamous 'diff' pages, but this one is a little special. See, here's how it goes:

The only edit I've made to the Edgar Ross page in quite some time is to add a pic to the gallery. Now in this particular instance, I used the button that appears on the article page itself to add pictures to the gallery. This is important because it means I never edited the page itself.

But look how many things got attributed to me, none of which I could possibly have done from the quick add pic window:



So, I hope we can both finally agree that there is a strong possibility (100%, in my estimation) that I never had anything to do with your code being removed at all, but got credit anyway.

I don't expect an apology, but it would really help to better our relationship if you could provide one.

And keep in mind that you earned my hostility, but I'm not a grudge-holder...

PS: In your avatar, at first I thought it was a cat with a kar98 or a didgeridoo. But I think I was wrong


 * It's kinda hard to tell, but it's an infant with a shotgun in his mouth (a real one from the looks). The rest of the pic I cropped out shows that it's Christmas morning, so I'll bet the gun was a gift for Daddy and more than likely isn't loaded. I found the pic on the internet, so I have no real clue as to the actual origin.
