User talk:Neshomeh

Welcome to my talk page! Feel free to use it to... well... talk to me. About stuff. And things. Yes.

Ahem. If you see a topic header you think your comment/question would fit in, please leave it there and not someplace else. Thank you!

Story Comments
I just read Ilraen and Supernumary's adventure in the Young Wizards' continuum. Thank you, from the depths of my heart for killing that thing. AGlass 07:31, 10 March 2009 (UTC)


 * It was my pleasure, and you're welcome. {= ) Neshomeh 06:28, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Dragons in "The Dark Side"
I would comment on the board, but I really don't want to have to find the right post again, and it might even have dropped off the first page (I had a lot of missions open, and don't quite know where they all came from). Anyway, the agents tell Voltarmi that "the corridors weren't designed with dragons in mind, and the bosses aren't likely to be very understanding of anything that looks like a walking flamethrower." I would like to point out that the DoI has an (admittedly old) dragon agent&mdash;Verra Rose. She presumably has a human form, like Voltarmi's gnome, but I doubt she would remain like that the entire time. Sorry!  Goldenrod 111  06:56, August 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sorry, but I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say. If you think we made a mistake, could you please explain how we could do it better? Otherwise, I'm just confused. There are plenty of reasons for Nume to have said that--general jerkassery being one; not knowing about Verra being another; knowing about Verra, knowing she had a humanoid form, and knowing also that the Flowers aren't fond of being faced with things that can produce fire being a logical alternative to the second. So... what? O.o ~Neshomeh 16:46, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

Beta-reading
I don't know if you caught this, but I sent you my second draft of my next mission to be beta'd a while back (I'm Chliever and Winston). I really hope I'm not nagging, but are you still working on that? You seem like a good beta-reader, and I really don't want to post it until you feel it's ready. Thanks in advance.

 * I just went through my e-mail, and I did get that, but the copy you sent me didn't have any changes made to it except the ones I put there. I thought I let you know that, so I was waiting for you. If you send your updated copy, I'll get on it. I'm sorry about the mix-up. Neshomeh 03:10, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Really? I could've sworn I amended the part where the Stu's... thing rots off. I'll get right on that. Thanks. Rodtheanimegod4ever 03:13, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Revisions to Suicide and Diocletian pages.
Hey Nesh,

It's me--TM. I'm making some updates and revisions to my old agents' pages, if that's okay--mostly stuff that's out there, but never got put down before. I've also begun scripting a backstory to explain where, exactly, Su and Dio have been since they buggered off in the middle of Subjugations. Are you still interested in doing a co-op and getting them back in the game? Bronze Clockwork 08:06, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * Hey there. Good to see you. You can do whatever you want to those pages, considering they're yours. I'm definitely still interested in co-oping. Let me know what you have in mind. Neshomeh 20:23, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * Plans--I has them. After reassessing the fandom situation, I really think I'd like Su and Di reassigned to Watchmen fanfiction--it's a total nightmare of bad slash and woobification in there right now, and I think it could be really entertaining.
 * As far as bringing them back in, I've scripted a short piece that explains where they've been (Philip Jose Farmer's Riverworld). The way I see it, your agent team accidentally finds them, and after some initial wacky hijinks, they wind up working together before Su and Di are dragged back to Headquarters. How's that sound? Bronze Clockwork 15:03, September 10, 2009 (UTC)
 * Sounds good, except that I'm not familiar with Riverworld, so I'm pretty useless for writing anything that takes place there apart from dialogue. How my agents would end up there is easy, since one of them is a kender.... Apart from me being clueless, though, that sounds good. Wacky hijinks are ALWAYS good. *grin* Neshomeh 01:52, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

PPC Board
Hi, I'm Xanthia B. I haven't gotten an account on this website yet, but I saw your posts on the PPC Board. You said that getting permission before writing missions was needed. I want to write some missions (because there are some Suethors out there I seriously want to punch in the face), but I don't know where to get permission.

Help!

~Xanthia B.


 * Hi. Nice to meet you. The way to get Permission is to introduce yourself on the PPC Board, hang around and post a while so we can get to know you, and then ask. That's all there is to it. {= )

See you soon!

Neshomeh 01:48, September 11, 2009 (UTC)


 * Hello, Xanthia. I don't have anything to add that Nesh hasn't already said, and you should heed what she said because she's one of the Permission Givers you'll have to ask, but I do have the links she mentioned. Here are some Permission-related links: Permission (on our wiki), and Araeph's entry on how Permission works. The Board is here. Take care.

KGarrett 07:04, September 11, 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh bollocks. I just found that.  No, I don't.  Thanks for giving me the heads up on that.  --Do not insult me. 17:35, October 2, 2009 (UTC)

Dawn 'n' Dusk
I should check my messages more often. No, I'm not Dawn - or Dusk, for that matter. I know them, they're twins in my high school class. They're pretty nice, but they're not very good at English (they're from China, see). Is there something wrong?

Logging In
I'm really, really sorry. I guess I should have logged in before editing the Crashing Down saga.


 * That is always a good thing (as is signing your posts on talk pages) -- but not the reason the page got marked for deletion, if that's what you're worried about. The reason is that Crashing Down isn't finished yet and its author doesn't want a page on the Wiki until it is finished. One of the other admins must've remembered that--I didn't do it. Anyway, don't feel bad for wanting to help out. It would be better if you were on the Board, though, to keep in touch with the various goings-on from now on. {= ) (If you ARE on the Board under another name... I sincerely apologize for my memory, which is often full of holes that seem to obey Murphy's Law.) ~Neshomeh 17:57, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

Permission
Hi, Neshomeh. I just wanted to say that you have my total support in giving the runaround to a certain Board newbie with a healthy sense of entitlement. If said newbie's long-awaited mission excerpts aren't bang-on in their depiction of the PPC, feel free to deny Permission, because I'll do the same. --Araeph 00:12, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

...I really hate being right. --Araeph 00:26, March 12, 2010 (UTC)

A hello and a question
Hi, I'm Aster and I'm one of the admins of the ACMSES Wiki, and I'm kind of wondering how you got your wiki onto the "What's New On Wikia" adverts on the left...we could use that kind of promotion. Only dead fish go with the flow. 11:43, March 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, Aster. Nice to meet a fellow Sue-slayer. {= ) Unfortunately, I have no idea how we got there, either. I can think of two possibilities: either it has something to do with activity/number of articles/how long we've been around, or it's just that everyone is on some kind of rotation. Good luck, though. Eru knows the PPC can use the help of its compatriots out there in the multiverse! ~Neshomeh 18:32, March 12, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry!
I guess I should've identified myself before I went changing stuff.--Chaoticidealism 02:39, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Generally a good idea. {= ) I get nervous about that sort of thing. On the bright side, it was clear you were someone from the Board, just not who. ~Neshomeh 02:44, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

Image categories
How do you add categories to the images?


 * The same way you do it while you're editing a page. Image articles don't have the quick-add bit that regular articles have, so you have to click "Edit", then use the bar that appears at the bottom of the editing window.


 * Alternately, when first uploading an image, you can type or whatever category is appropriate into the summary field.


 * Oh, and don't forget to sign comments on talk pages with four tildes. {= ) ~Neshomeh 17:25, May 15, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you. Miah 79 19:30, May 15, 2010 (UTC)

Questions
I know I've been playing with the wiki a lot lately, and that you've been going back and correcting a lot of stuff that isn't quite right. I think I'm seeing some patterns. First is the capitalization issue you mentioned on the editing help page, which I apparently still have a habit of doing; second, not putting a bolded definition of the term on the first line of a page. (Also, the awkward grammar on the quarantine theory. Thanks for cleaning that up.) Is there anything else I need to be aware of, so you don't have to tweak my edits so much?--Chaoticidealism 04:01, May 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Those were the main ones, I think--those and adding categories. I'm just glad you noticed without me having to leave an embarrassing note on your page spelling it out at you, really. Most wiki issues are those of noticing what's gone before and realizing why. {= ) ~Neshomeh 17:27, May 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't know how to delete an image--I uploaded one with a bad filename on it, and then re-uploaded with a proper filename. Can you delete the badly-named version? It's "Photo11.jpg". Should be on the recent activity page.--Chaoticidealism 20:05, May 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sure, I can do that. In the future, though, it's possible to move image files to new names the same way you do with normal pages. I think anyone can do that, but I'm not sure. ~Neshomeh 00:06, May 30, 2010 (UTC)

Supernumerary and Cameo
Saw you deleting their links from the Continuum pages; didn't know you didn't want their missions up. Have removed the links I put up. Sorry about that.--Chaoticidealism 02:49, June 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, since they're not really missions, I don't think listing them is fair to the unsuspecting readers who would click expecting something completely different from what's there (a lot of experimentation with the PPC style prior to my first actual mission, no actual badfic involved apart from the summary). Plus, if I'd wanted 'em up, I would've done it. {= ) ~Neshomeh 03:08, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

FicPsych
I don't know if you've been to the board yet, but I recently got permission and wanted to ask you to review my permission piece, since it has FicPsych in it and that department is kind of your baby. I figured Nathonea would probably be the one most likely not to mind a random dwarf raiding the coffee supply, but then I wasn't sure whether she was capable of eating to worry about coffee in the first place (Seven of Nine does, but can Borg PPC agents?). Anyway, it's linked from the board. It was three pages long in Word and a once-over shouldn't take long. Please?--Chaoticidealism 21:35, June 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * Done. {= ) And yeah, all that is fine. I'm pretty sure everyone who got Assimilated (and survived) got fixed, except for a few lingering implants. ~Neshomeh 01:08, June 30, 2010 (UTC)
