A few things[edit]

Hi there! As you might have noticed, I'm doing the residents of Brina Cross Inn these days, and happend to come across a couple of undercover Battle Mages up there (as well as a Rogue Mage). Since the mages are your "speciality", I wondered if you could check the CS on their magical abilities and add them to their pages as I go along? I've only done Arielle Jurard so far, but I think it could be useful to add her magic to a somewhat difficult page.

And you really should log on to the IRC whenever you're online. It's a good way to get to know one another, and it would be great to be able to ask you quick questions right away. All the best! Krusty 05:24, 31 March 2009 (EDT)

Yep, no problem. Spells and magic are quite tricky to do in-game. As per the IRC... yeah, I've been thinking of joining for a few weeks...I'll try to be there from now on. --SerCenKing 05:42, 31 March 2009 (EDT)
Oops, just saw on your Sandbox page, that I accidentally "stole" a Mage you had planned to do (Arielle Jurard) - I hope, it's okay! And if you were on the IRC right now I would write the following warning; There's something VERY wrong with the Cheydinhal Mages Guild, but only at 5pm; Eilonwy freezes up somewhere inside the Guild and never leaves for Riverview. Her husband now lies sleeping in the guild at 6pm, even though I saw him leave at 5pm the day before. Uurwen freezes at 5pm, and so does Deetsan. They all "un-freeze" when they have their next cue. I'll keep on double-checking on Eilonwy (she was the one I was following in the first place), but you might wanna pop in the game and check out the Guild at 5pm yourself - and make the nessecary bug-notes if there is any. Krusty 06:43, 31 March 2009 (EDT)
No problem, keep doing them and I'll check them with the CS. I'll pop in the guild during the next few days and see for myself. I was starting to have doubts when I saw that Eilonwy is supposed to follow Orintur in Willow Bank... but he never goes there! I'll check Deetsan as well. I tried entering IRC earlier but my school filtered the java client.. I'll try coming on when I'm at home. --SerCenKing 07:28, 31 March 2009 (EDT)
See also my comment here. --SerCenKing Talk 02:37, 3 April 2009 (EDT)
The rest of the mages at Brina Cross Inn is now up and running; Caminalda and Roliand Hanus. As they are quest-specific NPCs, their pages really doesn't have a whole lot of stuff on it, so they could really use the magical abilities-thing. Krusty 03:01, 6 April 2009 (EDT)
Yeah, as you can see, I have started a small "clean-up" on the very first schedules I wrote, as they are terribly bare-bones and a bore to read. Drarana Thelis was a shameless copy/paste from Rpheh's Aengvir page and when I was doing her house content anyway, I changed that. We all have to start somewhere, and I will probably try to rewrite some more on my very first schedules as we go along. Anyway, I just wanted to say; thanks for correcting them - twice! And welcome back! Krusty 05:56, 21 April 2009 (EDT)
Thanks! And I hope you can do the same for my old ones which are also terrible.. XD --SerCenKing Talk 06:39, 21 April 2009 (EDT)

Castles[edit]

The reason why I removed "Forts" is that there are none on Stirk. The reason I put Castles is to prevent somebody else to place Fort Stirk in that listing again. --Gez 17:26, 10 April 2009 (EDT)

I know that there aren't any Forts on Stirk; that sections was there to be filled with Hammerfell Forts. Castles in Oblivion:Places are not together with 'Ayleid Ruins' or 'Caves' but in the list with 'Bodies of Water'. I still prefer the other version but if both you (Gez) and Rpeh prefer this one, I will accept it. --SerCenKing Talk 06:58, 11 April 2009 (EDT)
It can always be changed back to be more like Oblivion later, once there is Hammerfell content... For now, there just isn't as much content as there is for Oblivion, so the listing can be different. --Gez 07:30, 11 April 2009 (EDT)
Sounds reasonable. Fine with me. --SerCenKing Talk 07:32, 11 April 2009 (EDT)
I agree. I'd rather not start creating sections for what might be coming up in Hammerfell. Let's cross those bridges when we come to them. –RpehTCE 08:04, 11 April 2009 (EDT)

Double Rephrasing![edit]

I should have clarified that this is upon stealing the Honorblade of Chorrol back after the quest is done. Feel free to do the final rephrasing! :P

Tamriel Rebuilt Books[edit]

Before doing too much on the Books page, take a look at Oblivion:Books. There's a template that we will eventually be able to use that will give a consistent appearance. –RpehTCE 10:38, 11 April 2009 (EDT)

Yeah, I took a look at it before doing the TR4 page. I didn't love it so I used the stock table I'd done at Southern Books and changed 'desc' with 'loc'. Now at least they look better ;) Anyway, I'll just add the locations now, since that is also present in the Oblivion template. Might I suggest we add cost as well? --SerCenKing Talk 10:44, 11 April 2009 (EDT)
Okay. Ignoring an existing template, and changing a page away from using a template because you don't like it is really not the way to go. There's a big difference between a list of books in a store, and a list for a game/mod. In a store, you don't need a location because you're already there. The list of books on a game page should be more general - and that's why we have a template to cover it. Including the cost might be a useful change, but you should discuss things first. In any case, given the new functions Nephele is adding to the site, we will certainly want to use templates to include the same data in multiple places to avoid mistakes. –RpehTCE 10:52, 11 April 2009 (EDT)
My comment was probably ill-phrased: what I meant is that I thought that the way that the page was previously done wasn't very good and I thought a table would look more structured. The main reason why I didn't use the existing table is that it heavily used Book descs, which we don't have yet. That's why I opted for a different version, knowing full-well that it would only be temporary, until the remaining info would be filled in. I didn't mean to appear vain or childish and I certainly agree that we should use the same template once we've got all of the required info up and running. --SerCenKing Talk 17:31, 11 April 2009 (EDT)

Help[edit]

Hey, I would like to help out with the NPC or Places Redesign project, I was guided to you. I know quite a lot about Oblivion and was just wondering if there is anything I can do to help out. If you just give me like a region of people or places to do I'll get on with it ;) - KindredPOKER 19:15, 11 April 2009 (EDT)

Ok, for places the main stuff that needs doing is In-game verification. This you can do both on PC or console. For the NPC project: if you're on PC you can write schedules and if you're on console you can check them. If you're on console, I'd recommend a chat with Krusty. For the Places project, I'm currently doing Ayleid Ruins and help would be great, check out my sandbox to see which are missing. For the NPCs, choose whatever NPCs you like! --SerCenKing Talk 03:46, 12 April 2009 (EDT)
Going to start with the Ayleid Ruins in a minute, do you have MSN so I can ask you some general questions, its easier there xD. My email is just my user name on here @hotmail.com - Thanks :) - KindredPOKER 16:21, 21 April 2009 (EDT)
Actually, the UESP has its own chatroom. I'm usually on there when I'm on the wiki. My nick is the same as my user name. Follow the instructions on the link and you should be able to log in. Just to know when we'll both be on... What time zone are you? I'm GMT. --SerCenKing Talk 04:22, 22 April 2009 (EDT)

Un problème.[edit]

Salut. J'ai remarqué ton commentaire par rapport à ta capacité de parler français. Que la langue française a-t-elle? Je ne veux pas avoir l'air impoli, mais... comme tu peux voir, j'aime bien le français. Et probablement comme tu verras, je suis américain. Alors, qu'est-ce que t'as? J'éspère que tout ceci soit en bonne humeur. 66.32.235.174 20:32, 15 April 2009 (EDT)

J'ai rien en contraire avec la langue français, que j'aime bien aussi... Le seule probleme sont les gens qui le parle! XD --SerCenKing Talk 14:06, 20 April 2009 (EDT)
Le racisme se porte bien chez les transalpins. :P --Gez 14:26, 20 April 2009 (EDT)
Je pense que nous sommes ne' comme ca... ;) --SerCenKing Talk 14:31, 20 April 2009 (EDT)
D'accord. Tout le wiki parles le Français. Maintenant - pouvons-nous améliorer le wiki? –RpehTCE 14:34, 20 April 2009 (EDT)

(stop outdent) I agree, all this french is annoying me! XD --SerCenKing Talk 14:36, 20 April 2009 (EDT)
