User talk:Q*

Welcome
Hi, welcome to ! Thanks for your edit to the Template:WormsNews page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything!

Good luck editing, NorwaysBiggestFan (talk) 14:15, February 13, 2014 (UTC)

Nice... (no sarcasm)

 * You sent information about the next worms game Worms Battlegrounds. I was trying to track down the next worms game for months and never found any information. Good job!(100.40.137.152 14:10, February 15, 2014 (UTC))

Why not become an admin?
This wiki has a small amount of admins. We need more. You make a lot of useful edits, so if you keep it up for a while, you might be ready to become an admin. And you also seem to be quite experienced with the series. What do you think?

Question
Did fire really first appear in Worms: The Director's Cut? I don't have Worms: The Director's Cut, and I only have the demo version of Worms 2. I thought fire first appeared in Worms Armageddon, but I haven't really played so much Worms for a while.

 * I haven't played DC so I really don't know, but it had the Petrol Bomb so I'm assuming there was fire. -Q*terplx (talk) 22:35, February 17, 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh, okay then. Unfortunately, DC only sold about 5,000 copies, not many have played it.

Question 2
Why did you remove or change some parts of my edit to the Nuclear Bomb page? That was a bit unnecessary, and in Worms 3D, the Nuke is not called the "Nuclear Test". It's called the Nuclear BOMB. They only called it the "Nuclear Test" in Wormopedia (and I have no idea why they would do that), but its real name is the Nuclear Bomb. I have Worms 3D, and I unlocked all weapons and completed the game 100%, so I've seen it myself. This may be an unnecessary question, but I just want to know why. Please leave a reply. Thank you.

To NorwaysBiggestFan
Why did you block me?

The reason you gave was "bad attitude" and when pressed further you said "I may see something registered users or contributors cannot see" and "I visited the other wiki's he is at, and the same problems occured there", but you never specified a single thing.

Apparently on this wiki, it is okay to leave comments like these   or to edit someone else's profile to this . (On any other wiki, this would be considered "intimidating behaviour/harassment".) You didn't consider those to show a "bad attitude", so whatever it was that I said or did must have been really terrible. Q*terplx (talk) 21:35, March 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * As an admin I have the rights to make decisions on behalf of the wiki, and I am not obligated to give any further reason than the basic formality. According to wikia, an admin can block a user with no reason at all, and the block is still justified. Even though I stand by my decision, I am considering reducing your block after I have talked to Orangitu and other debating users. Orangitu has blocked many users "infinite", so if you had done anything "terrible", it would of course have been a longer block.


 * What you point out in your attachments, happpened before I became an admin/before I learned the tools I needed. Some of these events are unfamiliar to me as well. Therefore, I could not have done anything about this. If this happens again however... This is not an attempt on repudiation of liability, I just want to point out that I were not in charge of those duties back then. NorwaysBiggestFan (talk) 21:31, March 17, 2014 (UTC)


 * If I can make one last request, please delete my blog post about the sale, it's out of date now. For your future reference, an infinite block is done by typing "infinite" into the date field. If you edit MediaWiki:Ipboptions you can add it to the dropdown options, I'm sure you'll be using it a lot. -Q*terplx (talk) 23:17, March 17, 2014 (UTC)

To Orangitu
I made this navigation template, Template:1stGenWeapons. It's a bit plain but it could still be helpful, and it will auto-categorize like the other weapon templates. I was going to add it to those weapon articles myself but, you know. -Q*terplx (talk) 18:10, March 17, 2014 (UTC)


 * Re: Template_talk:WeaponInfobox (since no else replied), if only the first and last appearance are shown, it implies that it was also in all of the games in-between, which isn't always the case. It would be good to have some standard on how these should be presented; is it okay to shorten titles, should each game be linked, should they be separated by a BR, etc. -Q*terplx (talk) 19:27, March 17, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the template mate, I'll be sure to add it in.


 * As for the infobox, talking about standards, the little icon displays in worms knowledge base came to mind. In WKB, they display little icons of W2, WA, and WWP, and they grey out the icons in games which they are not available.


 * I don't think my explanation is clear enough (sorry), so I recommend that you check out this page. As you can see, it's very easy to tell on a glimpse the availability of each individual software.


 * The problem is, do you think this model is feasible? Since we support a lot more games than WKB does, we would also need to fit a lot more icons. This could make our infoboxes very crowded.


 * --Orangitu | Talk 14:08, March 18, 2014 (UTC)


 * I think it would look too crowded, but also it'd be difficult to find or make an icon that uniquely represents each game. -Q*terplx (talk) 14:18, March 18, 2014 (UTC)

GOG Bargain Bin weekend
GOG.com has Worms United, Worms 2, and Worms Forts: Under Siege for sale at $1.79 each until Tuesday. I think GOG is now the only place you can still get Forts. The price is excellent and you don't have to fumble around with the CDs.

Also from Team17, they have Alien Breed, Superfrog (original), Ultimate Body Blows and World Rally Fever. -Q*terplx (talk) 18:00, March 21, 2014 (UTC)


 * Just $1.79? Wow, sounds great, although I already have Worms & Reinforcements United (or maybe it's just Worms Reinforcements, I'm not sure, but whatever) and Worms Forts: Under Siege, I only have the demo version of Worms 2 and I've always wanted the full version. I might get it later... Maybe. Thanks for the news.
 * By the way, NorwaysBiggestFan has changed his name to "Danuhau". Just letting you know...


 * --Boggy B (Note: I'm going to use this "fake signature" from now on so you can know that it's me and not some other random contributor.)


 * 176.43.58.136 18:30, March 21, 2014 (UTC)


 * You don't know which one you have? Here's how you can tell at a glance: on the bottom bar where it shows wind and power, if the Worms logo has bullet holes and a yellow plus-sign, it's Reinforcements. If it's just a plain logo like in the original game, it's United. -Q*terplx (talk) 19:56, March 21, 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh... Well, I haven't played the game for a while (I'll start playing again someday), but I'm certain my game didn't have a yellow plus sign or bullet holes in the logo, so I guess it's Worms & Reinforcements United, not Worms Reinforcements. Thank you for telling me, now I finally know which Worms game I have...
