 * Great job on Synava, but you should clean it up a little, see 2084, like I mean. - Patricknoddy 19:54, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

My new head:


 * I played XFER, haven't won yet. difficult to describe how far I got.. but I found the Mazer thing.. I like the music. Where'd you make/get it? --from  Modred . (speak to) 04:07, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * so you made the music at home? what program did you use or did you play it in person and record it? I play around in ModPlug tracker, but haven't been able to make anything like the music in XFER yet. --from  Modred . (speak to) 04:27, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

My political views? A form of watered-down socialism. The government starts up and controls businesses, but businesspeople actually run them with beaurocrat advisors. Falconier111 6:50 March 6 2007


 * Yeah, and who's going to pay for these start-ups, the average person? And where are these business people going to get all the incentive to perform better, like they do in market systems? They'll all go bankrupt when competing against any nation whose businesses are laissez-faire. Yunzhong   Hou  5000+ edits 21:58, 6 March 2007 (UTC)


 * But,are there any nations where the economy is laissez-faire? Even in this country, even under the rule of the New Right, the economy has always existed with some form of government intervention, whether it's regulation, subsidies or protective tariffs favoring domestic businesses(Harley-Davidson comes to mind).

Okay, I've put it together at Ultra-wikistory. If you're trying to make it serve as a directory, then might as well let it just take one page, and then have it direct people to various other interactive fiction things. So, if this is good enough for you, then tell me and I'll finish deleting the other Ultra wikistory pages. Yunzhong  Hou  5000+ edits 23:06, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

No, I checked, and it seems that it's all covered in the current abyss page.

My other question is should I go ahead and delete the other, extraneous Ultra pages. Yunzhong  Hou  5000+ edits 01:30, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Mysterious Unknown will mostly be about Psychics and Alien Abduction, unexplained phenamanae.. phenamaenae. phenomena. Most of which are invented by me, kindof. But only partialy, sense most of it is based off of unexplained things from the real world (like alien abductions), but in fact does not explain those ones, but coexists alongside them (using them as a cover story, in some cases, or in other cases just being very similar to them).

that said: what exactly are you asking? --from  Modred . (speak to) 23:26, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

no --from  Modred . (speak to) 00:18, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Serprex, what if 67.186.20.15 just made a mistake, and didn't realized that adding to the first section (of Fortunately/unfortunately) wasn't what he/she/it was supposed to do? they might've just been trying to play along --from  Modred . (speak to) 01:19, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I've been reading fan fiction stories at PlanetDiablo, and it's taken me a long time... Yunzhong  Hou  5000+ edits 18:46, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Finally gone somewhere in Xfer. Now, imagine my surprise when i finally manage to get into that goddammed Mazer.exe and found an accurate replica of the normal interactive fiction environment. --Nonimportant 00:26, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

We never did celebrate Novelas's 5000 page accomplishment now, did we?? Yunzhong  Hou  5000+ edits 23:08, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Non-serious suggestion: We should have a Luau! woohoo! yay!

Serious suggestion: Maybe like a writting contest or something... the winner of which gets:

Non serious suggestion: a very special pizza recipe!

Serious suggestion: a... well the only things I can think of are: Being listed on the popular fiction thing, getting bumped up to featured fiction status, getting a special award thingy on their user page, or something that only people who know more about wiki's would know about.

or we could always just get a... ahem. Special day, like how Wikipedia has April Fool's (All Fool's Day) be Special... Or maybe the site will suddenly and inexplicably change colors to green or something... --from  Modred . (speak to) 23:30, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Erm.. More like, non-article pages suddenly and inexplicably change colors to light blue, maybe? Like it is now? Yunzhong  Hou  5000+ edits 23:39, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh, fine then. Go for a realistic goal --from  Modred . (speak to) 23:41, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Nice how my page turned into a forum...Well,I never liked the forum idea...So,I can't keep up so well with these colors and I suggest that we don't have a contest since you'd have to do a poll on who the heck is going to submit.If we did,we'd have to do a bunch of work on rules of and size issues.So let's just say"YAY!!!1/2way to 10K!"(which is the real target,right?).Did anyone notice my recent interest in surrealism?Ya,its annoying when you start to think like thatUser:Serprex 23:51, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I saw your screenshot, Serprex. 'Bout time we get you an upgrade, eh?

[[Media:YunzhongHouScreenshot1.jpg]]

I don't follow. Why put a cat in itself? --Nonimportant 13:49, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

But you start it. As I actually didn't think of a plot for my story idea yet. --Nonimportant 17:43, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

You Do realize that this is the first time anyone has been blocked on this site? 20:53, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

HAH! Gone through mazer and already finished two of the arcade things, while my net was down. Also, when I answer the second riddle in riddler wrong, no command works (except abort) but I don't get electropulsed. Is that a bug? --Nonimportant 16:09, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Now, now. No talking of other people while they can't hear. If you disagree with how Yunz is doing his thing, tell that to him before you tell it to me. --Nonimportant 20:49, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Reading some other pages (And their talks) I realized you did. Sorry. --Nonimportant 21:46, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Good work on Synava, as evidenced by my putting so much effort into proofreading it (something I've rarely done here)!

Want to co-author Artifract as a round-robin story? 01:46, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Maybe he just forgot (I forget that a lot, and when I come back to fix it, someone already did it)? [EDIT:I'm talking about what you said to Darth Skinard, about the lack of categorization.] --Nonimportant 21:29, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Would you be willing to come out and support my candidacy for bureaucrat?

Thanks in advance!

12:38, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Actually, bureaucrats can delete pages, but so can administrators, and bureaucrats can't delete anything in ways that administrators cannot (only stewards can do that). Administrators can view, perform, and undo deletions just as bureaucrats can. 15:08, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, I don't think that new monobook changed things very much... 00:47, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes, technically it's possible to place the switchbox below. But I placed it above because it would be a little more confusing to people if the tool which modified the searchbox was below the searchbox. Trying to change that also means that your code would be different than the WGEP's and you might not get some updates such as glitchfixes as often. ~Dantman -local (talk&#124;local) Apr 25, 2007 @ 01:14 (UTC)

Wow Serprex, you did a great job right there, too good of a job in fact, that I had to delete it so that the others could have a chance at it... Crusader is the only one which doesn't show up anywhere in Novelas, which is why I conclude that you probably did a search on all of them that you didn't know. Not saying that anyone here is a crusader, but the only kind of user name that could possibly be connected with anything in that religion has to be....

Still being minimalist, eh? 17:41, 29 April 2007 (UTC)


 * See: User talk:Yunzhong Hou/3.

I can't fix that bug, it appears to be something inherent to IE itself, I used the most basic code I possibly could and tried to avoid doing things which would make the code non-browser independent. But something's wrong with IE and I can't fix it. Perhaps there will be more luck with the SlateSearch/SmokeSearch versions, they may be built as Widgets for the new skins instead of in that normal manor or something. ~Dantman -local (talk) May 8, 2007 @ 05:07 (UTC)

Saw your profile on wikipedia, (don't worry, I don't have one, since I don't actually have much useful information to contribute, except maybe about brazilian literature (Did I mention Machado de Assis is the greatest writer of all times?)) and saw something interesting, (Apart from the metrical system, which I thoroughly agree. I can't understand how you americans managed to get so much money without using kilometres instead of miles) you are a communist!

Don't misunderstand me, I'm cool with communism (Unless you think Stalin was communist, in which case I'll kill you). But I think the solution for the absurdity of capitalism (You need money to make money? Who was the fricking genius that thought that was a good idea?) is within something less radical and more gradative. Specially because capitalism is the best economical system until now, since it relies on human instincts, instead of human intellect. --Nonimportant 02:30, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Jobs of Passion? Hah. I believe lots of free time is the basis for a healthy mind. But the goddamned puritans had to conquer the world with their all work and no play philosophy. By the way, Canada? I wished I lived there, not so much because of the high HDI, but 'cause it's cold there. I mean, the pleasure of not sweating like a pig almost everyday highly outweighs the pleasure of going to the beach sometimes. --Nonimportant 15:19, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Saw that "political compass" stuff and tried it out, it has a first-world country bias on some places (Taking my freedoms out to fight terrorism?) but I think it's more or less safe to say that it doesn't lie so much (Anarcho-Socialist). Apparently I'm more libertarian and less left than you, which is cool (although I think I'm a little more right from that). What made me smile is that most modern world leaders are the exact opposite of me, which is even better. --Nonimportant 17:15, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Serpex, didn't know where else to post reply to your comment...I was too busy writing to change Nonimportant's category tag, and how do I create a new page? The usual method of typing the title into the search engine isn't working for me.

Will 19:16, 9 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm starting my alien invasion story soon and give my "Dark Island" story a rest for a while (Qyrst hasn't shown up lately), but I need a good title. If you've got a good idea, could you let me know? Thanx Nardek 03:19, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * On second thought I figured I should finish "Dark Island" first, because the invasion takes place after that. However, I still need a title. Anything you can think of don't hesitate to tell me Nardek 03:28, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Oh, sorry for not campaigning for myself, I just thought that, since you were kind enough to nominate me WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHATSOEVER, you'd also take care of those details. --Nonimportant 16:14, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Serprex... the reason why I modifyed those links is because i want them to go to specific pages, not like "story page for tup", but "The Fantasi Storyline Page." Dark Assassin Dark Assassin 20:36, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
