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)

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
Great! And wow, you're fast. I didn't think anyone would find it. I'll leave the formulas here, so that you can check them if you have trouble. Poeringu 21:04, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
