User talk:OluapPlayer

Welcome
Welcome to SporeWiki. If you like, you can introduce yourself in the Welcome room. If you have any questions you can contact me through my talk page. If you need help editing, check the editing article and the Help Desk. If you have particular questions about Spore that you can't find in an article there, come down to the SporeWiki:Questions Department and we'll do what we can to get your answer. Alternatively, you could check out the SporeWiki IRC channel. Feel free to delete this messsege from your talk page if you like, or keep it for reference. Richard 20:03, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Genus
No problem! Glad to see such a useful taxon, lol! Schnautzr 20:24, 18 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Start by heading over to SporeWiki:Taxonomy. Schnautzr 04:08, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Question
Do you know how to request taxonomy for a creature, because I thought I had the link right but it keeps on showing up in red letters (not made yet)... I am trying to request it for my Necromin Reaper... do you know how to? Dark Ridley 14:08, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Natrian Empire
Welcome newest member! I've been playing Spore a lot and haven't been able to get on the wiki often. Thanks for joining, Introi Leader 14:35, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

All creations are welcome, feel free to add them.Introi Leader 14:44, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Intresting... Perhaps you could have them join the Pirate Confederacy so I don't need to add them to the enimy listing. If you don't want to that's fine. Introi Leader 01:14, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

deletions
Remember to add a reason when marking pages for deletion. That way an admin knows that the deletion is valid. Sorry for being late with processing your requests, I want to talk to both Eulalia and SIgnpostMarv on IRC about this (all of us at once), and we always seem to avoid each other. 19:04, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Forteto
Like your creatures. Thanks for editing my article.

Adminship
Yep. I should obviously have notified you on your talkpage, but I logged of (not home, on a dial-up connection :O) before I thought of it. 16:38, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Creations
You do realize that your creations will be re-downloaded to your computer, right? The only thing you'll lose if you don't back it up is your galaxy. 15:52, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

User Spore Creatures
I changed the template to be a little more general. However, as you may have noticed, I added a parameter so that you can show that you have completed it. 22:49, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Deletions
Hey, can you tell me why you deleted my Surpraxx and Salamands? Because I don't see any reason for them to have been deleted. All my stuff is still expected to be worked upon. -Somarinoa 13:59, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Just in case you haven't watched my user page or anything, can you give me a week before you delete any of my other pages? I certainly plan on creating my stuff I've added here (and the Surpraxx have actually been added in-game), but I can't run Spore on this computer so I can't do anything about all that right now. I assume it's not possible, but if you could bring back (temporarily, I suppose) the Surpraxx and Salamand pages so I could copy the information to my harddrive, it'd be a really big help to my personal science fiction writing stuff. -Somarinoa 14:11, 3 December 2008 (UTC)


 * So, all creatures and stories are being deleted?- JustPhil 19:21, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Could you give me the definition of concept?- JustPhil 23:31, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Concepts are articles that are not officially considered Spore content. Before Spore came out, all pages were concept pages. Most of what both Somarinoa and Hydromancer X have done have been generally conceptual items. -Somarinoa 07:52, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Your role on the wiki
If you could describe your role on the wiki with a few words on SporeWiki:Administrators, it would help users looking to contact an admin about an issue choose the right one. 15:05, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Your Willosaur
You're Willosaur looks nice in the fishing pose!! The only problem is that the stripes aren't colored quite like a Maxis Willosaur has. Otherwise, they're all great, I put the Images in my folders. TimeMaster 01:46, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Supersized Creatures
A SS Creature is not an Epic Creature, they have a lot more HP and stronger attacks. I think you should think about restoring that page.

TimeMaster

Thank-you
Ok, Thanks for restoring the page. It is a fact page! ;) TimeMaster 14:04, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

I second that motion. The idea that SS creatures as Epics are absured! They are clearly different and thus need a different article just like the Half-Epic of Sea Monster! Thank you for time.

Railgun Out!76.121.131.70 06:59, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

The Half-Epic doesn't need its own article, though. It's just that nobody's bothered to merge it with the Epic article, yet. 17:09, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

However, there are Epics that have only 500 HP, so there is some truth to the speculation. I still think it should just have a subsection in the Epic page, as well as Supersized Creatures. 01:45, 8 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Hallo OluapPlayer, don't believe we've met :) I'm Eulalia, blahblahblah, not very active, etc. Anyway, stopping by for my two bits on the discussion. I'm of the belief that if it's possible, less pages is more. We don't need a page for half-epics and epics; we could easily define both on on the Supersized creatures page.–– &Sigma;ul&atilde;l&iacute;&atilde; undefined


 * I believe he meant on the Epic page, but anyway... 16:00, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Snapshots
Just a quick question; On your page, how did you upload those snapshots of your game onto the Wiki? (not the creatures but the "Random Pictures) I have a few things that I need to add from in-game, but can't get it to work. Thanks, Zagorian 18:30, 8 December 2008 (UTC).

I know how to upload images to the Wiki, I just don't know how to get actual ingame images (like the one where you earned the Epic Killer achievement.) All I need to know is how you actually took those snapshots and were able to save them as images. Thanks again, Zagorian 21:24, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Thank You! I actually forgot that I asked the question for a while now, until I looked at your this page and saw that. Thanks again, soon you will see some of my screen images on my page! Zagorian 21:36, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Dilemna


I'm trying to create a page for this but I cant figure out it's taxonomy.

Vandal Alert!
I think I found a vandalized page. Its spore vortex. It has no info and the editor has no page or talk page. --Forteto42 16:08, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Mistake by User:Wormulon
Wormulon was messing around with Mars. I can't undo the edits he made, since he edited the page 3 times. The point is he took out information and vandalized the infobox.TimeMaster 20:43, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Apologies about the Mars infobox User:Wormulon
I apologize about the Mars infobox it was an accident. I did'nt mean to accidently delete the information from the infobox. User:Wormulon 22:42, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Another quick question about deletions
If I switch out the info boxes on concept pages (such as the Aurix page) to instead include the general content inset instead, does this mean that my formerly concept pages won't be deleted? Cuz doing so I think would save both me and you quite a bit of effort - what with you having to delete so many pages, and me still having about 50 pages left to save the info for. -Somarinoa 07:52, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Found a fast way to get rid of concepts
Ok, listen to this. Go the categories illustrated and unillustrated creatures and delete all ones that have _______ (concept) on them. Hope this helps in the great concept deletion!

TimeMaster 20:57, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Natra Galaxy, Marinox, Introi Leader
Um, well I gave this a shot. I made a table considering the empires in that Galaxy. So, have did it go? That was the best I could do.

Ok, I have an update. Now Spinker is yellow and Marinox and Dracogona are red.

So, have did it go? That was the best I could do. Red -> War  Orange -> Tension   Yellow -> Peace, Creating new Alliances   Olive -> Spreading life (Optional Study)   Green -> Peace, Not Creating new Alliances   Cyan -> Trading, Creating new Trade Routes   Turquoise -> Trading, Not Creating new Trade Routes   Blue -> Studying, for _____   Purple -> Peacefully/Forcefully Converting others.
 * Ok, I have an update. Now Spinker is yellow and Marinox and Dracogona are red.

Trade Request: Natra Galaxy to Hetigiha Galaxy


Ok, so it's time to discuss trade. Most superpowers in the Hetigiha Galaxy wanted to start a trade route with the empires in the Natra Galaxy. If we both use the same currency we will be fine.

Rules

 * 1) Any smugglers will serve the equivilant of ten Earth years in a prison
 * 2) No trade restrictions, if free trade agreement is passed.

Free Trade Agreement
There will be no restrictions on the goods, and all empires promise not monopolize their products and goods and put a fair price. Consumers and Producers will be prosecuted if they violate any requirements:


 * 1) Consumers must not sell any bought retail products.
 * 2) Consumers should not sell their own products to other consumers, they should sell them to a company.
 * 3) Producers will be looked down upon selling things cheaper to their own Empire.

Will it be Ok? You and Introi should talk about this.

TimeMaster 16:12, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Concepts
We're talking about perhaps getting a Fiction namespace, if we do, then they might be able to go there. Keep deleting poor quality, abandoned concepts, though, please.

And we have other things we're doing. If you look at my contributions, I'm cleaning up the main namespace, which is rather time-consuming. 17:12, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Possible easter egg
I placed a Happiness Booster down on one of my colonies and I beamed down a Hologram Scout for a closer look. Then I found the words "IPPETAD". I looked this up on google and found that IPPETAD stands for "Intergalactic Proton Powered Electical Tentacle Advertising Droids" from Family Guys Blue Harvest. Has anyone else noticed this? If you dont believe me try it your self. Wormulon 11:52, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Oops
I didn't know you used Firefox... Ha ha... -Heads to emo corner- Poeringu 22:49, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Eh
I suggest you get a mac or get Safari instead of downloading clunky Firefox. I bet you can check you own work, too. Well, I guess not, then. :P *Runs around screaming about macs* --Thanks, TimeMaster Talk Main Contribs 22:45, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Do not delete long concepts
There are very long, and beautiful concepts here on SporeWiki. It's Ok to delete those ones that are just a couple sentences or a paragraph long, but please do not delete ones such as Content:Kazea. 'm hoping you're not going to delete Content:Naucean at least.

--Thanks, TimeMaster Talk Main Contribs

Have you read that? Really, delete ones that have less than 500 bytes or so but no more. Those ones actually have effort in them.

Thanks, TimeMaster Talk Main Contribs 18:29, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I know. And you said that if you were the only person doing the deletion of concepts that you would stop doing that, and you are. I suggest you restore the ones that have some effort, I think I will raise the limit to 3000 bytes, actually. But really, how would someone feel if their concept creature got deleted that they had but so much effort into, and you just delete it, without a word. Sure Kazea is deleted because it is abandoned, but it is still a great article, concept or not.

Thanks, TimeMaster Talk Main Contribs 18:37, 10 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Agreed. I mean, for me, personally, my entire life does in fact revolve around my alien species, and cataloging the species of others (media-related and well known such as Xenomorphs or otherwise) - Heck, I am the main contributor to Alien Species Wiki[a]; no joke. While a good number of my pages aren't exactly huge (likely due to the idea that I had forever to  work on them, as well as the lameness of real life issues over the course of the last few years for me), it's a difficult proposition to me that I have to go around and fix things specifically out of fear that I will lose years worth of work. And in some cases, I'm talking ~12 years.  I am kinda dumb when it comes to backing up information that I've wiki'ed out into documents because the information is generally so large and cumbersome to deal with in case of sudden editing of the wiki info, and so pretty much nothing I've written on here is backed up.  And it's all of extreme importance to me.  I know, I know...blame my autism for being so god-awfully stupid about that. - Somarinoa 15:56, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Charlie the Unicorn
I never said it did. Poeringu 23:10, 5 January 2009 (UTC) What's your fav thta U made Master Gresh 17:39, 10 January 2009 (UTC) Yes Master Gresh 17:47, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Charlie The unicorn has nothing to do with spore, and why do you have the name of a Bionicle in your user name, Master Gresh? 159.250.29.4 15:23, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Historical concepts
I'm just checking with you to make sure you are avoiding deleting any creature concepts that are historical and have value in their use in demoing Spore, as I've run into a few of those when doing template replacements. I'm not accusing you of deleting any, just making sure you aren't. So...you're not, are you? 18:52, 15 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Category:Historic creatures. Also, looking at the page should give an idea if it was used in demoing Spore.  If it was and isn't in that category, it needs added.  22:27, 15 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Content:Gruatherium and Content:Williams' Snorter aren't made by Maxis. I thought there was at least one more by Hydromancerx, you might have deleted it.  It might also not have been in the category, so look out in case there are others that aren't made by Maxis that are historical.  02:32, 16 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Alright, just was making sure. 14:45, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

What In The World Happened to the "Category:Creations by ____" Pages?
You're the most likely moderator to respond, I assume, so I'll ask you, since you've helped me out before (which I appreciate, for the record - the problem with text is it's so cold and emotionless, you know?). My "Creations by Somarinoa" page seems to no longer exist as a category. And the search in the page inset doesn't work worth a hill of anything, as don't a few other things, but that's not my concern right now. My concern is, how can I be expected to "fix" all of my pages if you folks are going to delete those categories? Is there some sort of way this is supposed to improve the Wikia that I just don't see? Cuz I'm trying to do my work, and this just makes it ungodly harder for me, which is ridiculously frustrating, to say the least. Can you at least tell me the new-proper way to find that page? Because I relied on it heavily in the past few years for finding my pages. I have so many hundreds of entirely-Spore-based and originating-outside-of-Spore organisms that I couldn't possibly hope to know which species I've added and which I have not to a full extent, even given my intelligence for my User Page, since I don't always update that immediately upon adding something new or anything. - Somarinoa 15:48, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Taxa
MorgothBot marked a few more tax pages for deletion that you might want to look at. Also, could you go through the taxa pages at some point and clean up any broken links? Thanks. 18:10, 19 January 2009 (UTC)


 * If you notice, infobox creature now has a few fields for taxonomy. If you could start using them when fixing other taxonomist's classifications (as shown here), it could help contribute to the overall cleanness.  Thanks.  16:41, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

I think i found a Vandal!
The user is IP adress 69.69.73.201, they inserted nonsense into pages, they said that Grox Platz was "Home of the Giant Brocoli smothered in teriaky sauce and a slice of banana pizza" 159.250.29.4 14:13, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

How
Sorry about the bad title, but how do you create rainbow colours on your creatures such as Rainbow Snakes, I have tried but they are not very good at all :-( Wormulon 21:06, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Pictures
I became your buddy in the game, and get all your creatures. I see you Niaka as an Epic, and i kill him. Can I place the picture. It is so cool, but in most of your text you mean that niaka is smal and cute. Also,can you make me your buddy? My nickname is Asdruabel. If you want you can make pages about my creatures. Imperios 18:30, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Undeletions?
Hey, mind if I get you to, uh, un-delete the Permitted and Neomwa? Cuz I have those two on my Sporepedia so I can get proof of those two existing immediately. - Somarinoa 15:35, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Erops, the Game
Is that even possible? You just need to copy and paste... And edit. :O Poeringu 12:53, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Adding a new 'Official Page'
There is a page called 'Contests' that should be added to the main Spore Wiki page, since it could be a great way to bring all of Spore Wiki together.

Selfish
Its very selfish to put your own creations on all the taxons they belong to even if there is other more important species like The Grox. Which we all know people will visit that page for anyway. 80.44.254.148 16:34, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
 * You were 100% wrong to say such a rude comment like that. Did you even know that using those taxons for user created creatures is the point of the very taxonomy?  We only give a few Maxis creations, because they are also creations.  Some people enjoy searching through taxons and looking for creatures they like. Thanks, TimeMaster Talk Main Contribs 13:41, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Copyright
I creating history of my race on russian site, here be "evil god Oluap, who send a terrifying Niakas to destroy worlds". Sorry, of course. Is it means something to you? If you want, i delete this. Imperios 09:44, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Hello Oulap Player
I have some things I need to tell you.

First thing, I have added you as a buddy on the sporepedia but cant seem to see your marinox creature. Whats up with that?

Also, you really should reconsider protecting your userpage, because it has many spelling errors on it and I have seen in the history that a lot of users have been correcting this. And now they cant. And I did not see any vandalisim of your page, so why protect it from constructive edits?

Have a nice day :) 80.44.254.186

Hey there buddy, long time no see ;-) Thanks for sending me that picture, that was just brilliant. And you're the first person other than me to make a Kalin - congratulations! lol. I'll add it to my sporecast, thanks alot. Hope to see/hear from you soon Rebecca1208 18:16, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Cells/Grox
I don't see why not. Sorry, I don't edit the SporeWiki anymore. I've found that the real Wikipedia is the place for me, and editing sproecasts as well. I returned tonight only to recollect the names of the creations from the original Sporaquarium (I'm VERY glad I put them on the SporeWiki...there isn't anywhere else that the list still exists!) Schnautzr 06:47, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Cells
Could you do a taxon for my cell?

Here

TheHumanCalculator 09:15, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Grox
You really should un delete the Content:Grox page.

It should at least be there for historic value as many websites link to it and give links. Even the spore creators on the official forum give links to it. 80.44.254.155 20:54, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Vandal using your name
Hi, I'm alerting you that the following person has 3 accounts using your name. ,, and. Please block these vandals, unless Morgoth does it for you. Thanks, TimeMaster Talk Main Contribs 23:27, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Great. That was the worst vandal I've experienced yet.  SporeWiki has been raided by 7chan?  And that person was using your name. There's also two more pornographic images, check the Upload log. Thanks, TimeMaster Talk Main Contribs

Child Porn
A vandal has put up porn!

His name is VandalView221

Delete all his pictures and ban him! PeterWong 13:00, 28 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I think it's that IP (the most recent IP ban) that keeps creating accounts. Could you prevent him/her from creating accounts? Thanks, TimeMaster Talk Main Contribs 13:29, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm 100% sure it's the same guy from yesterday. He should be banned from account creation and (if we can contact them) prosecuted in his country of origin. Thank goodness you deleted the bad stuff before I was forced to see it. Tigress Dragonblade 15:00, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

I suggest we try to reason with the vandals. Maybe a peaceful protest would be less disruptive. SporeWiki 15:42, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Spore Advice
Hey, Ose said that if anyone knew the answer to this question, it would be you. So, let's say you went through the first four spore stages and started on space stage as, for example, an ecologist. You then went through the whole space stage until you got the title of Omnipent, or whatever the Master Badge is called. So then you would get Ecologist Passion and Ecologist Hero achievements. But let's say that you, the ecologist, wanted to become a Diplomat (or some other archetype). And you went through the whole thing, the bribing, the big mission, etc, and you became a Diplomat. Would you get the Diplomat Passion and the Diplomat Hero achievements, or would you have to start Space Stage as a Diplomat to get Diplomat Hero? It seems like an important question to put on the wiki, because if you can win all the "Hero" achievements simply by changing yourself to all the archetypes in one game, it would save Spore players a lot of time.--Shaf Girl  04:08, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
