Edittools
Yo Ahtehve,

I was poking around yet again (I always do) and I noticed our edit tool mediawiki page had an extra div. To save myself the time of explaining where it is, I'll just do a copy/paste of what it's supposed to be so you don't have to worry about finding yourself as well.  Standard preloads (select a template to preload its contents):  Custom preload pagename:

 Insert:   Sign your username: 

Wiki markup:

Symbols:

Characters:

Greek:

The mediawiki page in question is here. I would go ahead and make the change myself, but regular users don't have access to editing mediawiki pages (For clear reasons) If need be, you can see what the edit looks like here.

Thanks.

Ivarstead
Atv,

A lot of characters in Ivarstead are essential for various quests (Mostly The Book of Love though). I don't know why Bethesda decided that was such an important quest, but I went on a rampage just recently - and all of the characters involved in that quest Skyrim-wide are essential. Just thought I should clarify that for you, no worries. I mean, maybe it's a bug, but I'm sure that they're essential.

- 02:58, March 30, 2016 (UTC)


 * Weird, must be a bug on my game then. Well, thanks for clearing that up, Atv; I couldn't have known, as I don't mess around with the Creation Kit enough to know that kind of thing. - 03:02, March 30, 2016 (UTC)

Hearthfire characters cat?
So Atv, another thing I've been wanting to ask: Should I create a Hearthfire: Characters category?

I've thought fot years, literally, that it's kind of odd that we don't have one, because then readers have no way of seeing a list of the characters added by Hearthfire. The cat would include the children, housecarls, etc. added by it. What do you think?

- 03:10, March 30, 2016 (UTC)


 * Alright, well if you say it's a moot topic, then a moot topic it is. Thanks Atv. - 03:16, March 30, 2016 (UTC)

My improvement
Hey Atv,

I've recently diagnosed all of these editing and chat mistakes with when they happen. They're all late at night, so I think I shouldn't edit or chat past 12 anymore. It's killing me. Hopefully, this will be a great improvement, because then I will always be in my fully functional state and I won't be the Brain Fart King anymore. Also, any other tips in general on how to improve?

- 13:35, March 30, 2016 (UTC)

PS do you have anything I could take care of? I desperately need a project and currently can't find one. Just give me something you've never seemed to get around to, like the lists for Online or the Daggerfall page renovations. Anything'd be great :D!


 * Ok, well I did find a project, as you probably saw. Also, "uk" looked like "ru" to me for some reason. I guess I still have brainfarts, but that's probably because of the sleep I'm missing. Need to make it up, I guess. 16:09, March 30, 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks Atv :D!! I do understand most of the things you said, and, coincidentally, I have been checking within the past day or two. But there is one thing I never thought of - and that's actually scanning contribs for all of these unspoken rules. Good luck getting me to read 70 moot logs ), but I can look at contribs. Thanks Atv!
 * - 12:14, March 31, 2016 (UTC)


 * Atv, sorry for bothering you again, I just have a lot of stuff I want to do, and I have to ask first of course :P. Here's the question: Should I actually create separate categories for the Dawnguard and Tribunal quest givers? I see just now that the other categories are now DLC-specific everywhere, so should the quest giver ones be too? Just give the word and I'll fix it :D. - 15:42, March 31, 2016 (UTC)

April Fools
Hey, so I was thinking for April Fools we could put the Adoring Fan as the Featured Article. The caption in the slider would be "By Azura, by Azura, by Azura, I'm the Featured Article! I can't believe it's me! Standing here, next to all these sliders!"

I'll make sure to write a satiric news post. Also, I don't know when we should start April Fools. 0:00 UTC or EST? Or, we could start it on the earliest time April Fools hits, which is UTC +14:00 and end the event at UTC -12:00. I prefer the latter, but whatever choice you think is best. ☞ Rim < Talk 03:52, April 1, 2016 (UTC)

Hello!

Hey Atv, I had a slight suggestion for the Delete template. Why not make it so that the image also links to the deletion policy at Wikipedia, like the text does? Should just be replacing  to   if I remember correctly.

Oh, and if you dont mind: Remove the source section from it por favor. Quite sure we don't use it anymore -- If someone does want it, they could always just open up the editor and copy it even with it being locked.

Thanks,

Mediawiki:Chat.js
May want to revert that js. I don't think it's working quite as it's supposed to here. Not sure why, best to just chunk it for now I guess.

I'll run it through some tests. I didn't make it, so I'm not exactly sure whats causing the issue, but it's breaking every single youtube link in chat (Although the script itself works :D)


 * Nevermind, it's only my browser for some reason. My bad. I'm too crazy thats all

Deletion candidates need attention
Hey Atv,

There are 76 pages up for deletion at the moment, and I think that it's time that someone take a look at it. As I've put a few things there myself in the past couple days, I know that it's not all just messed-up mergers. There are definitely pages that need to be deleted. So, when you can, I greatly advise that you go through it. Till next time.

Team Morrowind
Well Atvelonis, I was actually thinking of taking over Team Morrowind or Team Arena. I've played all of the games, but I'm not all that familiar with the lore of Arena, at least not as much as I am with Morrowind. And from what I've heard, the Morrowind pages need a little bit of help, and having an inactive team isn't helping. So Team Morrowind is the one that I would like to take over.

Thanks Knight-Paladin Griffin (talk) 01:38, April 13, 2016 (UTC)

Hey, I wanted to tell you about the picture for Idesa Sadri's article, because it needs to be replaced. She'd not wearing that outfit, and her face doesn't look like that, either.

Bot requests
I had some ideas for the bot (will assist in categorization and consistency, and may fix some redlinks): ’ -> ' “ -> " ” -> "
 * For anything categorized as both Category:Redirects and one of its subcats, remove Category:Redirects.
 * Change weird apostrophes and quotation marks to the normal format used by most keyboards:

Btw, been working on a few things you might find interesting/helpful: --Shockstorm (talk) 17:25, April 19, 2016 (UTC)
 * Restoring valid/useful redirects I've found in deletion logs (about halfway done).
 * Fixed template placement used by flags on pages (by showing the most recent revisions from the wikia bot. This means some pages may have some templates pushing down images/infoboxes if someone else has edited them after wikia, but not a big deal).
 * Creating redirects for alternate names/titles for gods and other lore stuff.

Pelinal
The red diamond mentioned is not necessarily the Amulet of Kings, but as said, the Red Diamond (central gem of the amulet). Whether or not Kyne giving the Red Diamond to Alessia should be taken in an absolute literal sense, I can't say.

"[You] made the first rain at his sundering [and that] is what I ask now for our alien masters... [that] we might sunder them fully and repay their cruelty [by] dispersing them to drown in the Topal"

That line is Alessia's prayer to Kyne, asking for rain. This might be implying that "Kyne" giving Alessia the Red Diamond could be interpreted as the Red Diamond straight up falling from the sky, or raining, which makes sense when you bring in other sources into the mix.

''The laughing heart sprayed blood afar, A gout on Cyrod fell, And like a dart shot to its mark Down in an Ayleid Well. Magicka fused the Lorkhan blood To crystal red and strong Then Wild Elves cut and polished it down To Chim-el Adabal.''
 * Chim-El Adabal: A Ballad

This source basically states that the Red Diamond was formed from the blood of Lorkhan's Heart that literally rained from the sky, then was found by Ayleids and solidified into the gem long before Alessia's rebellion.

So it could be said that Kyne gifting the Red Diamond at Alessia's prayer might have just been a reference to the fact that the Diamond had, in the past, rained from the sky, and the prayer more accurately notes the activation of Pelinal from the Red Diamond. Mind you its also never specifically stated that Kyne directly gave Alessia the Red Diamond, but rather Pelinal arrives killing Ayleids before he even meets Alessia.

''"The Star-Made Knight" [and he] was arrayed in armor [from the future time]. And he walked into the jungles of Cyrod already killing, Morihaus stamping at his side froth-bloody and bellowing from excitement because the Pelinal was come... [and Pelinal] came to Perrif's camp of rebels holding a sword and mace"''

So really the Red Diamond had been a thing for a while but Alessia's prayers brought about Pelinal from the Diamond, which is his heart.

The Amulet of Kings is not a thing until accordingly either Akatosh or Shezarr forges and grants it to Alessia on her deathbed creating the covenant. The truth of this event is revealed at the end of the Song of Pelinal, where it is Pelinal (who had died) speaking to Alessia, who is in fact a representative for both Shezarr and Auriel (who are likely collectively meant to be Akatosh). So it is Pelinal, representing Akatosh, who fittingly uses his Heart to create the Amulet of Kings. This is likely why Alessia says she is the "sweet wife of Shor and of Auri-el" in the Remanada.

Links in Quote boxes
What is the standard for adding links in quotes? The imperial battlemage added links to the quote in the Stormcrag Crypt page, but i removed them because i was under the impression that links do not belong in the quote boxes. Imperial battlemage later reverted my edit and said there was nothing in the style and formatting about that. Bronkiin later reverted Imperial battlemage's edit. They just reverted Bronkiin's edit, again saying there was nothing in the style and formatting about linking. He's right, i looked at the style and formatting guide and was unable to find anything about linking in quotes, so I'm going to leave the links in the quote for now, because there is a potential for an edit war on that page.

About his Ban (Noir)
Hi Atve, it's nice to see you again. Okay, I now this will probably get deleted as I was being such a childish dick back then, but I'd really like you to reconsider my ban and it's length. I understand that I was being a childish dick (on purpose) like I've said before, but I still think the ban should be shorten to around 6-12 months. I just really want to start editing for this wiki again, as it was so much fun and I can now continue that. Thanks in advance, and have a nice day.

Bronkiin is getting on my nerves
Atvel,

Sorry to bother you for the fourth time, (it was fourth, right?) but this is something which really gets on my nerves, and because I want to keep this civil and not lash-out against my most beloved patroller on this wiki, I decided to report a issue I have with Bronkiin. You're an administrator, so I suppose you can work this out with him, I've tried, but it resulted in nothing.

Okay, so here's my problem. Today, I made an edit on the Jarl Elisif page, it wasn't anything big, the trivia section said the following: Her tense position compared to all the other Jarls may be another hint towards her inexperience in the post. I removed it with the following reason: Her sitting tense'' has nothing to do with her inexperience. All the Jarls who become one as a result of the conqeuring of Holds also sit like their predecessor.''

So I came back later and I saw that Bronkiin removed the edit for the following reason: That's because of gameplay gameplay. The very fact that it says gameplay gameplay already pisses me off, but that aside. I decided that my reasoning was good and justified, so I went to Bronkiin's profile and said the following: Bronk, ''It has nothing to do with gameplay, if it were because of inexperience as the trivia section states than the Stormcloaks who replace the Imperial Jarls wouldn't sit like that either. Sitting properly on a throne has nothing to do with inexperience anyway.'' To which he replied with: Cool

No removal of his own edit on the page, no nothing, all he said was cool. The point that I'm trying to make is that her sitting tense (which is a nonsense term anyway because tons of female characters sit like that ingame) is false, proven by the fact that new Stormcloak Jarls or Imperial Jarls don't sit tense either, while they have even less experience than Elisif.

If you could discuss this with Bronkiin, I'd appreciate it an awful lot.

Blademaster Jauffre (talk) 22:32, May 1, 2016 (UTC)


 * I could explain the reasoning to you but that'd be like bashing my head against a brick wall. Do what you like to the article, I won't re-revert.
 * Edit: It is speculation nonetheless so I've reverted my undo.

Haafingar
Hi Atvelonis, I was going through Haafingar hold page, and the section Lore, doesn't seem to contain lore, it's more a description of how it is at the time of TESV. Should it remain that way? also none of what could be considered lore (ex: pelagius, wolf queen...) is included. AgentOfMara (talk) 19:13, May 3, 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree, the current information belongs under Description, while actual lore should be put in the respective section.

Hi Atv, just want to discuss one of the recent additions. Recently, he's not been acting like a moderator should. I read a lot of his posts, and many are hostile. He's caused alot of drama recently, such as the discussion below. http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/d/p/2735963540232865394

Re: Haafingar + all Skyrim Holds
Hi Atvelonis, thanks for the reply.

Yesterday i did some minor editing (probably before you checked). I didn't remove any text, I only replaced the heading 'lore' with heading 'discription' on two hold pages, as you said, it's relevant. I would like to add a couple of lore elements to some of these pages (where it's missing). But I just can't figure out how to add a reference. Could you point me to a tutorial or somthin that would help. Much appreciated AgentOfMara (talk) 09:07, May 4, 2016 (UTC)

Solution to being above templates?
Hola senor Atvelonis,

I was poking around - you get where this is going. Anyway, I have an idea as to how we can solve the issue of our pages that use with the templates with automatic leads (If thats confusing, I mean like this page has).) From my conclusions, if we place for as a function inside the templates, then we can keep the for piece above the lead. This idea is still in "beta" so to speak, but I wanted to grab your opinion on it.

Gracias,


 * Yeah, I'd prefer removing autoleads as well. --Shockstorm (talk) 17:05, May 5, 2016 (UTC)

Admin
Atv.

Regardless of wether it being him or not, the very fact that he impersonates, even if it's in a joking sense, is still against the rules. It's your job as a moderator to uphold this rules and tell him or them to stop, that's stated clearly in the rules.


 * User agreement
 * Not a full list.

As a user of TESWiki, you agree not to:

Read more about Wikia's Terms of Use, here.
 * Harass members of the wiki.
 * Use the Service in any unlawful manner or in any other manner which could damage, impair, or overburden the site;
 * Post, upload, transmit, share, or store content which is unlawful, defamatory, infringing, obscene, or invasive of another's right to privacy or publicity;
 * Impersonate another entity or person;
 * Post, upload, transmit, share, or store unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, solicitations, "spam", or any other type of unauthorized solicitation;
 * Solicit personal information from any user under the age of 18;
 * Solicit passwords or other information for unlawful purposes.

(p.s I'm pretty sure provocation falls under the Harass category, but that aside)

Regardless of it being a joke or not, you should tell him to stop. I've been an admin before, and even if it's a joke it's your job to tell him to stop. In many games for example, there are clear rules that state Don't give away paid currency for ingame currency, people sometimes jokingly say Give me this for (amount) ingame currency and I'll give you 50$, regardless of it being a joke he or she would get banned. Now I know this forum is soft when it comes to banning and prefers to warn, so that why I'm saying ''' tell him to stop. '''

Hey I have been having struggles trying to find a computer laptop that can play elder scrolls 1 and 2 but its been such a challenge finding one that is cheap. If there are any laptops you suggest let me know at least 2 of them.Tamriel9 (talk) 18:29, May 21, 2016 (UTC)Tamriel9


 * I heard it was possible to get the parts for 100-200 dollars. Tamriel9 (talk) 23:45, May 22, 2016 (UTC)Tamriel9

Sockpuppet
Just saw this (see here). Was previously this user. --Shockstorm (talk) 01:37, May 23, 2016 (UTC)

Deletion
I'd like to request the deletion of the page Leather Helm (Daggerfall), on the grounds that Helmets are never given a material distinction in Daggerfall, and that there is a more appropriate page for it at Helm (Daggerfall), Thanks, -The Boy Who Cried Godzilla (talk) 01:30, May 24, 2016 (UTC)


 * Alright. Thanks! -The Boy Who Cried Godzilla (talk) 13:31, May 24, 2016 (UTC)

Location differences in Online
Hey atvel. I wanted some questions about Location Differences in Elder Scrolls Online; the first question is, what categories does this page need? The second question is why did you create it, and what is it's purpose? The third is are we going to create similar pages for all the other games? Respond when you can, thanks. Starkiller131 (talk) 16:26, May 31, 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi, Atvelonis


 * You probably won't believe me when I say it but, I was Anonymous user 69.112.24.80 who also created the Location Differences in Elder Scrolls Online. I was signed off and I didn't realize it until after I got your message. Is there a way I can claim the Anonymous Account at least as a Secondary Account or not. Thanks for Reading, Vincentius1 (talk) 21:46, May 31, 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi, Atvelonis


 * Thank you for responding As for merging the page, go for it. What I intended on doing for the page was changes from all games not neccesarily with Elder Scrolls Online I kind off messed that up when adding Elder Scrolls Online into the Title. But I think merging them is a good idea, I'm all for it. Vincentius1 (talk) 22:33, June 1, 2016 (UTC)

NPC conversations
Are you sure? Because honestly I like doing the "Conversations" in a one, standartized way for all the pages.

Please help me :(
Hey, it's ArgonianLover ...

I feel like a total jerk to make Hallow-Marsh get banned, for until something like 3016 (year), or something? I can't remember.

Anyway, I beg you to check the IP adresess, to know that it isn't a sockpuppet, please. :(

I'm not trying to tell you what to do, I'm just asking.

Sorry if it also sound like I'm being a jerk, I'm trying not to :(

I'm just worried for Hallow-Marsh, and I don't want him to be Banned for his whole life, just because of me, and the name, you know???

Just checking the IP adresses will mean I will do  Anything  for you

I know I already said this, but I also don't want you to think I'm telling you what to do. :(

But another favor is asked if possible: could we talk in the main chat room, because I feel like a total idiot with the history I am seeing on my page, definitely, and I'd rather it not get posted there, if possible...

I just don't want it getting posted there or here, because I feel like a jerk, going through them :( sorry but if necessary, you can still do it on my page, or either your page, but I'd rather not want it like that.

Sorry if I am sounding like a jerk, and I know I already said this, but just in case you needed to something while reading this help message, like, maybe a coincidence, or something, I dunno, and you were too busy and probably forgot, I dunno, sorry :/

Anyway, the next time you get on chat I would love it if you could tell me the reply there, instead of on my page, or your page, I would really appreciate it. :)

Sorry to disturb, because I know you are busy, but I just don't want this to happen, you know??? The IP adress with me and Hallow-Marsh, and the sockpuppet thing, you know???

Anyway, thanks :)

P.S. I will try my best to be on the chat, or at least be watching it, for a long time :)

Thanks,

Image removal
Hey atvel. Can do me a favor and remove this image. It seems User:Nsbrigu took the image from tesrenewal. Please, remove it when you can. Thanks, and happy editing. Starkiller131 (talk) 23:12, June 2, 2016 (UTC)


 * After looking I found the image I was refering to.. It's exactly identical to the image I linked you to yesterday. Starkiller131 (talk) 17:10, June 3, 2016 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for the revisions, I'm still not clear on a few things but I see what you did and will look them over carefully to make sure I get it right from her on! Most appreciated!

Actually if you point me in the direction on how to move a page and shorten the name of a file on the wiki I'll go back and clean up the file names, if that's possible for me to do, I uploaded quite a few this morning. Or I can rename the files on my system and replace the files and re-edit the pages, I have no problem with that. I have a performance this evening but I can get to it later tonight, either way will work for me.

Thanks again!

--Coloradofree (talk) 19:15, June 3, 2016 (UTC)


 * I checked on that and I only have history, replace, and nuledit. I have no problem replacing the files and fixing it that way if that's ok.


 * --Coloradofree (talk) 19:51, June 3, 2016 (UTC)


 * Ok DUH!! I get it, replacing the file with a new one only replaces the image, the file name destination doesn't edit once it's in place. At least that's how it appears on my end. I'll just cool my jets and wait for further instruction. Sorry, still learning the ins and outs of Wiki!

Queen Ayrenn
Hello Sir, I was just wondering why you removed my perfectly well reasoned edit as to why KIMMUNE should not be Ayrenn's page. It is ultimately fanfiction and has no place being on the wiki.

Re: NPC images
Hi atv, thanks for the info. Will make sure they're to the proper format. i was wondering: (on morrowind) my max height res is 768px (i don't use mods) and the fixes proposed on the net don't work, i'll have to blow them up a little to make them 1000px (height). Hope that's ok. Let me know if you think i should preserve the original size and just make them to ratio. Thanks AgentOfMara (talk) 08:05, June 9, 2016 (UTC)

My Contributions to Star-Gazer Herald
I noticed my screenshot for the Star-Gazer Herald has been double-flagged as not good enough: the page has a template saying HUD visible and the file itself has one saying low quality.

Admittedly, I did not read the image policy for this Wiki. I did what I used to do for Destiny Wiki, which was to upload a full-sized screenshot, unaltered, copied from my PS4, the console I play on. This is how they preferred screenshots, though they did want PNG, so all my images were "low quality" no matter what, and I tagged them as such on the pages they were used on. The highest quality I could obtain was to copy the JPG file from my PS4 onto a thumb drive, then onto my PC. In my mind, converting the JPG to a PNG would have been wrong, as the information was already lost and converting to a PNG could not bring it back.

I left a message on The Cat Master's talk page, basically asking these same questions, yesterday, but I was anxious for a reply so I decided to leave a message for you too. Upon opening your talk page, I found your conversation with AgentOfMara regarding NPC images, so my original questions are now answered, but I have a couple new ones...
 * 1) I cropped my original screenshot to remove as much UI/HUD as I could. There's still a quest indicator visible, though. I could get rid of that indicator if I cropped the image farther, but I wanted to keep the horse and cart behind the NPC since I feel they are a part of the NPC (he tells you to hop in the cart for a ride to Craglorn). Is this okay, or should it only show the NPC and nothing else, even if related/tied to the NPC?
 * 2) You stated in your message to AgentOfMara that NPC images should be 600x1000. That size would have included a LOT of "empty" space above the NPC's head, due to how I positioned my view to take the screenshot to begin with. Since I have the horse and cart included, the cropped image size is currently 1268x562. Is this acceptable, or should I try to get a closer view of only the NPC, so that I can get as close as possible to, if not, 600x1000?
 * 3) As a result of cropping the image, I saved it as a PNG. The original file was not created as a PNG, so it's not original quality, but is now a PNG format. Is this okay, quality-wise?

 * I think I met all requirements...


 * The most I can do to hide the UI/HUD on PS4 is turn off health bars, ability bar and quest tracker. Quest symbols are always visible, so what I did was, from first-person view, positioned the NPC as far to the left of the screen as possible. Add-ons are not a thing on console. The NPC is on a bit of an angle, due to having to look at him from the peripheral of the view, but I was able to crop out ALL UI elements. The cropped image is currently 600x1080... Guess I had him too close; couldn't crop the last 80 pixels or I'd chop off his head or more of one of his feet that was already off-screen when I took the screenshot.


 * I checked the PS4's Settings to see if there were any new sharing options and found an option for screenshot format. It does now have the ability to save PNG format! I must have missed it in a recent PS4 System Software update. I usually read the change log each time. Now I'm REALLY going to need to replace the PS4 HDD with a 2 TB drive... no more <1MB screenshots. :p


 * I'll upload the new image after I post this, and remove the "bad image" templates from the file page and the NPC page.
 * Thanks for the help!


 * — TheDefiant604 (talk &bull; contribs) 21:35, June 9, 2016 (UTC)


 * I made a couple more attempts to get the picture of the NPC perfect.  I added them to Imgur and put a link to each on my own sandbox page.  I think #2 is the best one, but there's some UI in the top-right corner: quest indicator and NPC health bar.  #3 is a little, tiny bit of an angle to it, but there's no UI and he's more brightly lit.  He's such a fidgity character... so hard to capture!


 * Let me know what you think of each and I'll either try again, or upload the acceptable one to replace the existing one.

Re: map images
Hi Atvelonis, Thanks for the message,

I saw, earlier,  you were moving some of the maps (interior) to a gallery. Funny thing i've been wondering if it should be the local map, but, from outside or world map. I was following the guide lines for the layout of the Morrowind location pages, and it says to put a Local map. And once you're inside a location if you click on the local map, it gives the interior map. Which one do I put (in right panel under the image) for which type? Which gets confusing when it's a sub-sublocation, like the Hall of Justice Secret Library, which is inside an inside, that's inside a location.... lol, so, Which map:The world map, the local map or the interior map. For which type: main location (ouside), sections within a main (inside) and sublocation (inside an inside location). I liked the idea of having only the world map in the right panel, and the others in a gallery. Let ma know what you guys think. ps: Sorry for this puzzle :) AgentOfMara (talk) 23:09, June 12, 2016 (UTC)


 * Ops, just saw the first part of your message, you answered already :P. Great, thanksAgentOfMara (talk) 23:24, June 12, 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi, thanks for the info, will make sure to remove it in the future (it comes with the code of the automatic upload). Also, I had a question about the automatic licensing when i upload pics. i saw you changing them in the source code, but i don't see what changed when i look at the actual page. if you don't mind explaining what you do, so i can do it, and you don't have to rewrite all those tidbits after me.
 * And by the way, thanks for the mention in the weekly update. Much appreciated. AgentOfMara (talk) 22:40, June 14, 2016 (UTC)

New message
Hello Atvelonis,

If you could check those out and let me know if there ok that would be appreciated, you can find the images in contributions on my profile page via my name below.

Old Accounts
Hey Atvel, I finally took the time to find my two old discussion accounts, here they are so you can ban or block them or whatever it is you do to KINMUNE's old alts. "lorkhan167" and "vaultboy111". Just fyi these weren't made to escape a ban, and I never used 2 or more at once. I honestly don't know why I decided not to use them but yea.

Final Strike?
Hello Atvel,

Sorry to bother you, but I noticed I was banned by Lilith for doing a roast with other users. I wasn't given any warning about this and the roast wasn't anything taken seriously. This is supposedly my 'final strike' and I was curious to know what there may be that I could do about it. If anyone was insulted, I apologize.
