Yeah that's a good point...there are a lot of long standing members of NPF that don't get any respect around here *cough*


XD

Anyways yeah that would suck but it's almost inevitable that people would have pages...though I think the idea of other people writing them would keep them objective to some degree


Also if anyone cares I'd be willing to keep the wiki in line or whatever those people are called...anyways yeah I'd do that...

If you have a post within the last 15 days or so, I'll make sure there's an article on you. (Or if you're out of the forum for a bit) This of course doesn't apply to people who already will have articles by the time I arrive.

You know, they were thinking of making a french version of Resistance: Fall of Man, but it was just five minutes long, and only contained a sentence:

We surrender!

But seriously, is this a place where my webcomics will be appreciated?

Hahahahahahhhhhhh naw.

So when is this Wiki going up anyways? If we're doing it I mean.

this is 100% innapropried but is it wrong that everytime anyone says anything "Wiki" i keep hearing that Will Smith song from Wild Wild West?

Anyway, if the idea of making pages about certain people is not Ok with most (i mean we can still mention these people on several occasion and articles if they are relevant..) then, at least we could build a little "Quote library" within the Wiki with quotes from various members

ooh! Even better! We can jump in new members by making them sift through pages and pages of people's quotes and until they find good ones they can't have some privilages or something...I don't know...it sounded good/funny in my head...

Question will there be any punishment for adding information to articles that although terrible, funny and in bad taste is altogether possibly not a lie?

Because in this whole thing I am just a lowly messenger of Truth.

Plus, making fun of Fifth is America's favorite passtime (if you're suicidal).

It would get them used to the sense of humor that NPF employs and encourages (or at least what we don't discourage). Ha, I just said something serious there. Naw, I just can't wait to take a crack at Fifth, Fenny and especially Krylo no one in particular.

Why would you want your innermost secrets revealed?

You're all fools. All of you.

Sounds cool, but I have a few suggestions...

Do all the non-member articles first. IE Yodog, the inside jokes, Otaku San, maybe the Mod's pages...

Then open a thread asking people if they want to be in the Wiki. Take like 5 names at a time on a first come first serve basis, or maybe throw everyone who wants to be in the wiki into a big pot and draw names, ultimately who cares how you chose, but do it with some basic criteria for being chosen, because we can't be making articles for every new kid on the block who just decided he wants his 15 seconds of internet fame.

Then have a poll, with the winner getting his page made first, the guy in second next, the guy in third after that, etc. Personally I could give a rats behind if everyone wants to do, for example, Mauve's page instead of mine, and I don't think there will be much complaining and hurt feelings here if its a community project. The trick here is to balance the participation with what needs to be handled by one guy.

Then after you have your people you open a thread asking for things to put into the article, that way everyone gets to participate and it can be screened by both mods and the people doing the article for inappropriate comments.

Then repeat until you need to pick more people, etc...

If my innermost secrets had to do with this forum, they deserve to be spilled.

Now my innermost secret BEING this forum is another story...

I've always appreciated them!^^

Get out.

DFM's profile should consist entirely of a certain picture of a little girl and a duck eating ice-cream and a link to his comic.

Okay it seems like enough people are totally behind it, I'm going to go ahead and start the ball rolling.

I'll start to lay out some ground rules and when the wiki goes up I'll have started a few pages. I need some time to think about it because, well...

It's difficult to describe exactly what counts as 'forum wang' for something like this. If someone changes my profile to say "Mirai Gen is a pasty white nerd who calls himself a writer and, by the way, is way too into Transformers," I'm probably going to laugh about it. If we get fifty hojillion edits to Fifthfiend's page that are all describing ascending levels of 'how SUPER COOL HE IS' I think some intermission is probably going to be in order.

I will, however, keep close tabs on it and if someone has a problem with any article I urge them to PM me.

And yes, when this thing first goes live I'm going to put up a "Do Not Post" list at NPF and lock out articles for anyone who requests it. I'll either make another thread or I'll just change first post.

Also: Everyone, please try to have fun with this.

EDIT: Request sent. If they deny, we'll just copy the code and send it to Parker Comics.

God help us all.

And by us all, I mean me.

And by god, I mean the internet.

And by that I don't know what I mean.

But yeah, I'm all for this idea as long as I wont have to tire myself too much with writing.

So what I'm saying is, in order to make this thing worth our while we actually DO need to write stuff in there and put atleast SOME time to what we're writing.

A tad off topic, but seriously, who the hell is Otaku Son, or do I gotta wait till the wiki is up?

This thread contains all the answers. And also deserves it's own page on the wiki.

I'll put up a page about myself explaing about my awesome grammar, and i dont mind people editing it, so go for it =P

YEY Wiki

Wiki wiki waw waw
Wiki wiki waw waw
Wiki wiki Wild Wild West, Jim West, desperado, rough rider
No you don't want nada
None of this, six gun in this, brotha runnin this...

Why not? I'd like to be in this.

Why you gotta be hatin'?

I can totally see this going really baed...

I really think any sort of popularity contest would be the exact opposite of where everyone wants this to go. Instead, we might want to turn this thread into some form of poll, regarding whether they want the site to go up, whether they want user pages, whether they'd be willing to participate, etc.

I can and will participate. I have a decent level of knowledge.
But not spelling...

I think it sounds cool. My only concern is whether or not I'd be included. >.> I was active once upon a time, y'know.

I am totally for this idea and by "for" I mean that I am going to edit everybody's entries to include all the things I secretly hate about each and every one of you.

"secretly"

That was my plan but looking at it objectively you'd be able to pull it off better because people will see your edits and think "Oh that wacky fifth he doesn't really mean it." whereas they would see my edits and think "That guy's a jerk."

On a more serious note I want it clear that if and when this thing happens my propensity for banning any and everybody involved with it will be directly proportionate to 1. the degree to which it becomes a sinkhole of elitism / bad-attitudes / boringly painful unfunniness / people telling me how they're the kings and queens of the Wiki and I can't tell them what to do ever again so there! / TEH DRAMMAZ and 2. the extent to which it is about me.

Ideally my entry would be nothing more than like:

Again, references section. That one should be linked to a lot. =P

Also, my thought of the individual people sections would be more of an NPFing history. As in, just a history of their posting record, significant things they've done (for the mods this would be easy). It's probably hard to define significant, but then again look at some of the things on wikipedia. Also, possibly the sections some people frequent and certain aspects about them (Mirai likes Transformers and is an SSBM pro guys).

And then going along with the general tone of this... work probably some jokes at said person's expense.

It's actually a much longer list than the things I publicly hate about everybody.

More or less... probably "less"

Any and all words in quotations may be assumed to mean their exact opposite.

Man Otaku Son is possibly the greatest man to grace the internet, except by greatest, I mean creepy.

A loveable jerk though!...who doesn't update his comic...ok maybe just a jerk...XD

Mff, bgkh, BWAHAHAHA! That "Otaku's last stand" thing was too great. It's pretty hard to believe that's actually real. Definetly in the wiki. Some people's undoing is just annoying or depressing all around (Iyeru, creepy even after his banning), but his defiance to the end is the best. Krylo, you're now a +5 kickass mod in my eyes.

Oh it was real...I was there! I just didn't post or anything...it was back during a lurking phase of mine...Also I don't think anything I could have said would have made it better...long story short...it's real and Otaku was as big a douchebag as they come...

I think the only thing that Fifth hates about me is the utter lack of things he hates about me. At least, until he reads this post. Then, he'll hate me because of how right I am, and the paradox I have created will obliterate Nuklepedia and Otaku makes me laugh I gotta go read more of that.

You underestimate him. Drastically.

Also, since this didn't seem to get linked directly, here's more Otaku goodness.

Well I said it before, but I'll say it again;

If anyone's article will be the first to get locked out due to ridiculous edits, it'll probably be yours. If only because I know how much you hate the whole "12th Annual How Much We Love Fifthfiend" threads that used to be so common.

Hell if you want me to I can make that your article and lock it out myself.

I hadn't actually read the Otaku Son stuff before, but...

Its actually kind of sad that his behavior and the way he talked kind of reminded me of myself years and years ago. I mean, its kind of sad for him that he reminds me of myself when I was, like, ten years old, but...I'm ashamed.

That said, those threads are hilarious (Now, at least) and Krylo gets a hug.

Anyway. Do we really want to give him more attention? I'd say there is a pretty good chance he still surfs the forums, and we don't really want to flatter him with the attention of giving him his own Wiki article. Feeding a troll, I believe its called. I mean, it would be heavily belated, but...

I'm thinking we could probably avoid a lot of problems if we avoid pages on individual users. That way can just focus on forum wide phenonemnon which shouldn't cause any elitism/wang.
I reckon articles about larger things will be funnier anyway and will be more helpful to newcomers who are lost about things people are referencing.

Maybe we could make individual user-pages only available to registered members, and the forum pages open to anyone. Like the community forum used to be.

And the user pages could be less serious, to make people laugh after they settle in and understand the inside jokes, and also to be helpful and explain what people do and how they act, what comics and other things they make (stories, etc). And we should at least have pages for the mods and admins.

I dunno, to me Otaku Son bashing has been an integral part of NPF's history as of late, like the EZWhores days.

I'm not saying that you require 'NPF Cred' to be a full member here, I'm just saying that NPF is old.

But yeah I don't think troll feeding extends to people if they've already been banned.

Yeah, maybe. It might encourage him to sign up again if he sees people still think about him. Or...something...

Nevermind. You're right, Mirai.

Well things like the Otaku Son incident would be more part of NPF history than a user with that name, because he's not really a member anymore.
And telling his story best requires talking about the response as well. I think it's better not as a thread about a user but about the user and the response to him.

Its kind of scary, the thought that those terrible sad excuses for people that end up latching themselves onto the NPF are always in the background...watching...waiting.

They'll probably end up making a facebook group or something and write poetry about how unfair our rules are and how much of a $#!%(@(% Shiney is and how much they love Krylo.

Either way, they can't hurt us and any satisfaction they derive from our attention pretty much doesn't exist.

You know, the whole "if a tree falls in the forest and nobody is around to hear it does it make a sound?" thing.

That's a good point

We could use people's names as a hub of sorts to link to other articles of their humor...like say some one reads about the classic "Or in Shiny's case do both while your mother is a whore" Quote and they think "Boy that's funny what else has this guy said" and they click on Viper's name and they can get to any other insidents he was involved in

Not doing this would kind of drastically reduce what a wiki (wiki wild wild west) can do...the whole point is so you can just click on links and get to a new thing...so I think in the case of a hub use of names is ok

Though it would be fun to have individual sections on people...the drama...oh the drama it would create would be tantamount to a disaster...so it's wise to hold off on that aspect.

Where/when was that, anyway?

What the famous Viper Quote?

Many moons before you joined...hell I think it might have even been before I joined...

What did the site say the wait time would be like?

I don't say anything neat. (UU) The best I've said was over TS when I said "I can't see anything through the giant AoE that is Raguel." Am I just going to have to link to specific pics?

Maybe if you used words other than webcomics you might be quoted more.

But Fenris they're totally hilarious and also applicable.

I think Seil's article should be made entirely out of webcomics.

No words, nuthin.

I think a better idea, rather than just having an article that talks about how funny a person is or something, we can just have the page be about the person in a short sort of way, and then the rest of the article can be quotes from the person with links to the post.

That way we're doing less "Shove their humor down the reader's throat cause we like them so much" and more "See? They're hilarious."

Although that would be a problem with Seil. How do you quote images...?

EDIT: Hah! Cut and paste like a 1970s ransom letter, except from webcomics.

I'm interested in this. I am curious as to how things would be written that pertains to certain "alternate" characteristics of individual forumites; Such as Chicago's "Negative" side, or my "Nexus" character. Just let the original writers handle it or what?

Also I'm still unclear as to what extent a NPF member is allowed to write in their own entry.

If anyone makes my page, I want them to use my current Trilby avatar as the main picture of me. Only the full picture. Couldn't care whatever else you twats put about me. Trilby fucking rocks.

http://www.sandara.net/2005/cg/trilby.jpg

Or +1 Name, etc.

So, is this all really happening? Shouldn't we set up the rules before we try to get the page approved?

i would like to point out thatwe still didnt mentioned about any guidelines for talking about people on articles...

I mean, ok, i might not do a page about Mirai Gen, but what if i want to talk about him when i add something on the "Creativity Convention" article?

Also, we need to track down the "post funny shit" topic name changes

I can do that, Bellsouth, there's a log in the forum database. One second.

How come I didn't see that one and which video was he talking 'bout?

Where'd that one come from?

Might I also suggest an article about the never-released awesome-filled NPF Avatar DVD boxset? That should be worthy of a mention.

I like to think of it as "The Thread".

That's what I'm saying!

I believe the Fencer one was in response to something regarding Deadpool and/or that Liefield comic-artist guy who puts, "Muscles on the muscles, which are adorned with muscles themselves", and a generous excess of superhero pouches.

I don't see why a bio and quotes should be mutually exclusive. I have yet to see myself quoted in a signature. I do, however, post a lot of other things worth mentioning, like my plugging Paint.NET or just non-humorous replies.

Or at least they're not funny. My sense of humor is... unique.

We need a quotes section, for all the great things that people say.

And if we do individual user pages we should have an avatar/title/sig history part in it.

I don't think anybody pays that much attention.

I'm all for the wiki, and I'd be glad to donate my services as a copy editor/proofreader, but considering (almost) everyone's superior grammar, spelling, and punctuation, my services probably wouldn't be necessary.

:p

I'll have all of my own back hopefully in the next few days. Along with all of my sprites and other stuff.

If the dang site I bought the laptop-to-external hard drive converter at is legit. I need to see about checking my tracking order to see if it comes up with non-garbage yet. :shifty:


Edit: Okay, totally cool. :D

Actually without Firefox mine might not be so good...I mean I can find thing in other people's writing that aren't English/grammatically correct/punctuated improperly/etc. But have a harder time with my own...hmmm

So when is this Wiki (wiki wild wild west) going on line? I want to see a link, damn it! Give me funny! XD

Sorry if I'm late. >.< I fully support this idea. expect me to make a few posts about a few people, if this so happens to come to fruit.

I may enjoy this. And I agree with Death. Where is the linky? Me need a funny danmmit!

Something that just popped into my mind: are we going to limit this to the forums or are we going to expand it into Nuklear Age, 8-bit Theater and Atomic Robo? Considering Wikipedia is all professional research only, this would be a great place for in-depth stuff, à la Bulbapedia.

Well 8-bit is already on Wiki(wiki wild wild west)pedia...so why would we need to make one? and we can assume Nuklear Age and Atomic Robo are there too...and we can also assume that even though we are making this for noobs on the forums (and for our own entertainment), that anyone interested in joining the forums would have at least a passing knowledge of either NA, 8-bit, or Robo...

Pretty much for the same reason there are Star Wars and Star Trek dedicated wikis. Wikipedia doesn't allow for much more than publicated stuff, and everything else (like minor characters' backstories or Pokémon stats) is covered by these fansites.

This sounds like a ridiculous amount of fun.
I'm in.

I'm in, I guess I have to make it official seeing as I never really said I was.

Is there any work that is going to be required on my part in the construction? I understand that I may be in charge of my own article, but is there anything else?

I just hope I can edit from school, they hate wikis there. Block em as soon as they see em.

The thing should be called Nukiepedia, by the way. It has meaning and rolls better of the tongue.

Eh, either way.
