Hey Super Paper Mario Bros. told me that I should ask you stuff about Userpedia. So he says I have to get a sysops approval... What is that all about? GalacticPetey Fo-rooms OK, thanks for the note. Maybe I should give a bit of time watching the forums as many of the technical topics and other things around the wiki take place there... ¢oincoll€ctor UP Forums Please go check your message inbox at the Userpedia forums. It is of high importance. · SMB (Talk) · 00:24, 27 September 2009 (EDT) UP! Hey Stooby :) I lost my UP password :( What can i do??? --(talk) The 'Shroom 11:49, 27 September 2009 (EDT) Ok :) --(talk) The 'Shroom 20:19, 28 September 2009 (EDT) Re: SMB3 Thank you :3. I think that game really deserves it. Though it is not my favourite game (I actually suck that much at sidescrollers, that I never beat it), it is the very first Mario game I remember, and it was the game that brought me into the Marioverse (and overall videogames), so it's very special to me. I hope I can rewrite some more level summaries, as that gameguidish talk... well, it doesn't suit the game, I think. Well then, for a good collaboration ;3 - Gabumon(talk) 00:39, 29 September 2009 (EDT) Re:PMTTYD Beta I did not. However, I didn't look at most of the item textures, which is where I imagine such a thing would be found. Plus, were I a programmer putting three different coin colors into the game, I would use a single texture for all three, and alter the hue in the program. That would make it extremely difficult to find them based on the ROM. Do they have any visual difference aside from color? - 2257(Talk) 15:00, 29 September 2009 (EDT) Well, the Life Shroom and Volt Shroom are purple and gold in PM1, is it just that they have unfinished graphics? Also, I don't think there's a way to do that, although you could probably at least take a screenshot with a video capture card. There shouldn't be any way for the system to detect that. Really I'm surprised they protect their internally released discs more heavily than commercial ones, I mean, if you had this before the "official" version of the game came out, you'd hardly need to hack it to cause damage. - 2257(Talk) 18:10, 29 September 2009 (EDT) By the way, what did these red & blue coins do? Same as in 64? - 2257(Talk) 00:06, 30 September 2009 (EDT) This is sort of out there, but Mario Party 2 had official art of an orange coin, which looked like the 64 coins but was unused. - 2257(Talk) 00:44, 30 September 2009 (EDT) Funny, I felt that way about the final version Two pages?! I'm sort of inclined to think it's simply a bug, since they were blanked, but maybe not. What tool are you planning to hack the game with? - 2257(Talk) 00:54, 30 September 2009 (EDT) Normally, I decompile ROM dumps and then do my best to figure out how the different file formats are encoded. Luckily, PMTTYD uses some fairly standard formats. The text in the ROM is actually Unicode in the original, although the English version uses ANSI (a Microsoft standard O_o) instead. The graphics all seem to be TPL, a standard that's pretty common in Nintendo programs. The model format is unique tho. Obviously, none of that applies to you unless you can make a ROM dump. I found the GameCube Action Replay to be quite difficult to use (the way you have to decrypt and encrypt codes is extremely fail, as it prevents you from testing different values for a single address easily. The purpose of that was originally to prevent end users from creating codes at all, which is even more fail.), so I'm not that familiar with how it works, unfortunately. - 2257(Talk) 01:10, 30 September 2009 (EDT) Shroom! Hey Stooby! Well, can you help me in sending out shroom warnings by the 1st or 2nd of october? You can have 1-13 if you like :) --(talk) The 'Shroom 16:19, 29 September 2009 (EDT) Whoa! You archieved! Ha, ha! Thanks, Stooben! See you around, hopefully soon! Stumpers! 16:57, 29 September 2009 (EDT) I'm back! Hello, Stooben Rooben, Please send me (Doomhiker) your Fake News section(s) by the deadline. If you are unable to submit your section in time, please tell me as soon as possible, and I'll sort something out. Yours truly, Doomhiker USERPEDIA HAS BEEN ATTACKED! GET ON USERPEDIA. SOMEBODY HAS HACKED TABUU'S ACCOUNT! :( And they NukeDPL'd and murdered many pages, and demoted me. Get on ASAP. · SMB (Talk) · 21:26, 4 October 2009 (EDT) forget, they have demoted everybody. UP is gone. For good. · SMB (Talk) · 21:35, 4 October 2009 (EDT) SMB: Not exactly, as you can see; The king of a wiki has his ways ;) SR: Thanks for trusting me on UP with the restoring :) Marioguy1 (talk) No, not that good, I only restored 50 pages...I wonder how many revisions that is... Marioguy1 (talk) King Boo The attacks on that article have become multitudinous now. Wouldn't it be better to protect it, so that this nonsense will end? - Gabumon(talk) 23:16, 5 October 2009 (EDT) Haha, I was in the process of doing that right as you messaged me. Anyway, good call. ;) — Stooben Rooben 23:20, 5 October 2009 (EDT) Coincidences are weird ^^. Anyway, thank you for the protection. - Gabumon(talk) 23:23, 5 October 2009 (EDT) Birthday Hey stooby hows it going? Today is my birthday! I turn an unlucky number... Also take away the 1 and I am still an infant, and the number that Mario games usually are. {{User:Booderdash/sig|Birthday mayhem! So you've turned 13? :P Congrats. — Stooben Rooben 01:17, 9 October 2009 (EDT) shroom Hey stooby! can you please update the single and archive? my lap broke down :( im on dsi, i will try to get to my dads lap 2morrow in the evening\night, thanks ～～～ Help? Do you need some helping hands with that split of the beta elements page? - Gabumon(talk) 05:16, 10 October 2009 (EDT) No problem. I can perfectly understand that ;3. I apologize in case I seem brash. - Gabumon(talk) 23:17, 11 October 2009 (EDT) "From the Mushroom Vaults Job" is Now Taken I'm here to take the job for the 'Shroom. -Waluigi48 (talk) P.S. Can you also make me a Waluigi sprite? A History of Video Games now taken. I am here to conquer the job for the 'Shroom. Princess Jigglypuff 23:52, 10 October 2009 (EDT) Monthy Report Reporter Found I would like to take the position of the Monthly Report on The 'Shroom. I may be new, but I have been looking at the articles on the Wiki for quite a while now. I think I would be great for the position. Thanks! -User:Mario Galaxy97 Hey dude Hey St00by. Haven't seen you like 2 hours... (JK, a couple of days) Watcha doing right now? I'm bored and I wanted to do something right now, give me something to do. :o RAP... School... tomorrow! :X Haven't you even looked at my new topic at the staff topic? I need people to gather around for assistance. RAP... My secrets will be revealed there if I have enough support. :o Ah, it's too bad that some other staff members are not responding right now, I sorta have other ideas to bring up problems... instead of posting problems that we would forget in the "Problems" section. I can feel a bunch of staff members missing some of the points. :X Any ideas... Shroomerton Well, it would be great if you could update the Shroombox :) oh, and I know it was not my conversation the one up there :P but anyway, I feel we should tell all admins that is strongly recommended they have a forum account, because many decisions are made there. ™ The 'Shroom The 'Shroom Hi Stooben Rooben, I dicided to sign up for The 'Shroom; I filled in position #8, the User Interview. I'm sure I can handle it, as there are over 10,000 wiki users. Let me know if I'm accepted for the staff, if there are any special rules for this position (ex: method of interviewing), and/or if you need to notify me about anything else. Thanks! Cmario17File:Staring Mario.jpg EDIT: By interview method, I meant something like, "Do I need to get e-mail addresses and host the interview off of the wiki?" Guitar Steward Hey, since I didn't know, do I need your permission to use the song template on the Guitar Steward page on UP? :S --Zephyr Mage 12:50, 21 October 2009 (EDT) Well, I'm thinking of kinda making my own Guitar Hero game on there. :P --Zephyr Mage 22:18, 24 October 2009 (EDT) Shroom P. Trainer here. Just wanted to say, i'm REALLY sorry about not handing in my Shroom section. There was a family tragedy, and I had to go offline for a while. I'm back now, and I'll be sure to get my section in for next month. Thanks, Paper Pikachu PipeProject It's Dry Paratroopa here, asking if I can have an okay on a PipeProject I put up a few weeks ago. I asked for an okay then, but no responce by an authorized person (by authorized, I mean someone kinda high on the ranking list thingy if you know what I mean). User:Dry Paratropa/sig You don't really need permission from the higher-ups to create a PipeProject; just people who are willing to work on your project with you. :) — Stooben Rooben 21:14, 28 October 2009 (EDT) You should add Jimmy T. to your userpage! 'Cuz that's who I think about when I see or hear your name! Rabidchomp 17:47, 29 October 2009 (EDT) WARRNING WARNING NIGHT Can you pelase help me send 1-13 :) Thanks --™ The 'Shroom 11:31, 31 October 2009 (EDT) I just signed up for the shroom! Dear Stooben Rooben, I just signed up for the shroom. I will be doing the monthly report i will have my report done and sent to u before november 6! Thank you please reply when you read this message! Hi just sent the 2nd article the history of video games in a pm! You are needed! I just sent you an enormous PM on the forums and I'm not going to repeat the info in public. In a nutshell, I think Maria's about to attack the wiki, chat, forums, UP, and B-K wiki. Well, at least some of those. Please also come on chat to discuss the recent events with the witnesses. Ralphfan>>Hurry! Wayo As you might know, Wayo retired. As for the awards, he apparently put you in charge, but he also mentioned me. I think the two of us should co-lead. Technically, you would have a few more jobs, but it would be both of us working together. Whaddaya say? Ralphfan>>My talk. Woo. Already responded to this in a PM, but sure; sounds good. — Stooben Rooben 17:01, 9 November 2009 (EST) Shroom So... can you please update single page and archive? Thansk --™ The 'Shroom 20:43, 8 November 2009 (EST) Sure thing! I'll do it real late tonight for when the sections are put up tomorrow. =) — Stooben Rooben 16:59, 9 November 2009 (EST) Great! THanks! And i will do some minor changes to the notes i sent you, as well as some polls. --™ The 'Shroom 17:07, 9 November 2009 (EST) GRRRR! I'm go gonna beat you in this COMPETITION! RAWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!! XDDDD RAP... HAHAHAAHAHAHAHA no. — Stooben Rooben 23:56, 9 November 2009 (EST) I though a moment about joining in, but it seems like it was wise to do not :3 - Gabumon(talk) 23:58, 9 November 2009 (EST) Lol, it was probably best. I tend to get pretty competitive when somebody steals helps with a project. Just some weird quirk I have. :P — Stooben Rooben 00:00, 10 November 2009 (EST) What competition project are you talking about? Marioguy1 (Talk | Contribs) Awww man, you'll only talk in your own talk page? D: Anyways, check the Template topic... important... ;o RAP... 00:01, 10 November 2009 (EST) Already did that, like, 5 minutes ago. =P — Stooben Rooben 00:07, 10 November 2009 (EST) What competition/project...I'm kinds clueless? Templates? ?_?--FREAK ~Game Freak~ OUT! Getting rid of templates that don't really apply to our template policy. — Stooben Rooben 00:07, 10 November 2009 (EST) Oh, you mean that silly thing where you turn templates into categories? I've already spoken to SMB about that and I will not partake in it.--Marioguy1 My talk page (haha, no link for you ) 00:04, 10 November 2009 (EST) What exactly is silly about it? (Why won't you take part in that?) — Stooben Rooben 00:07, 10 November 2009 (EST) It is a race to see who can categorize as many articles meanwhile killing templates. I won't take part because I know how I feel when I make a large spree of edits and then find that someone else has finished them off and I won't do that to whoever started this craze. BTW, what's the whole point of this? Server stress? Marioguy1 (Talk | Contribs) The purpose is to get some structure and order into the many templates that are lurking here. - Gabumon(talk) 00:11, 10 November 2009 (EST) I may take part since I finished up with Wario: Master of Disguise and Wario Land: Shake It! and have nothing to do Are my edits being noticed...--FREAK ~Game Freak~ OUT! In that case, I approve! But I still will not take part.--Marioguy1 My talk page (haha, no link for you ) 00:13, 10 November 2009 (EST) @MG1: Per Edo. And it didn't originally start out as a race, but RAP and I started butting heads because of the exact reason you mentioned. @Gamefreak: Well, if you find a navigation template that doesn't fit in with the policy, go ahead and take it down. =) — Stooben Rooben Yes, they are being noticed. 00:15, 10 November 2009 (EST) Hmm... maybe I'll try one sometime. Marioguy1 (Talk | Contribs) Wait... we're supposed to add Category:Characters in those SPM character articles? Why so? Compare Category:Characters and Category: Super Paper Mario Characters. RAP... 22:30, 12 November 2009 (EST) Being curious of your actions... Animation Hi Could you make me an animation of Iggy Koopa walking with his glasses swirling? If you could supply me with the right sprites, probably. — Stooben Rooben 20:56, 10 November 2009 (EST) Eh I don't know how to make sprites so i guess i couldn't supply you with them. :( You could try here; I don't know if their Iggy sprites have swirling glasses, though. Also, please sign your comments. =) — Stooben Rooben 21:44, 10 November 2009 (EST) I couldn't find any good Iggy sprites but i was wondering if you could do a monty mole animation where he goes in his hole and when he pops out he is a different color i found some sprites for it but I don't know what to do with it now here is a link to itMonty Mole If you can't thats ok :). Iggy Sounds pretty simple; I'll try to get it done in my free time. ;) — Stooben Rooben 00:27, 12 November 2009 (EST) One question I'm trying to figure out here... Hey S.R. -- just rechecking -- but in the case of new users who sign up and attempt to edit an article that is "semi-protected", how many days must they have the account before they can edit the article in question? I just changed the protection level for the Princess Peach article to where new users can't just edit the article immediately after they sign up. All right, thanks. --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan! User Page | Talk Page 03:45, 12 November 2009 (EST) O Brave Hero... Go and do not falter, Stooben. Dom »» McTalk I have no idea why, either... This Header, it Falsely Implies Importance Within This Message ... I have no idea what compelled me to randomly log in here after so long. I think I just saw the Bookmark way at the bottom of the list in my browser. I had literally forgotten about this place for over a month - literally, I had forgotten. I'm serious. It's nice that you ask - in the almost whole year since we last met, I have flirted with death in closer ways than before, thus thinking of each day since mid-August as a test of survival. I have also failed several school subjects this year, due to complete lack of motivation... and I can't stay awake. I purchased Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story when it came out, and was impressed with it being... almost... better than SS. Quite amazing, really. I love it, I really do. I hope you have it and also enjoy it. I am deeply disappointed at the lack of high-profile Nintendo titles for this Christmas, as I consider NSMB Wii a bit 'meh' since it probably has family-friendly syndrome; that is, most likely far too easy like NSMB on DS was for me. A few months ago, my computer crashed, losing all of my files. I now have to use a very old computer. In the same month (August), my Wii broke, and I lost 2.5 years of game progress. I have spent so much time trying to achieve what I once had on over 9 games. Also, I have delved further into the mysteries of philosophy this year... and found some terrible things. Finally, I have spent most of my online time on my YouTube account, where I have only 50,000 total video views... not as many as I had hoped for almost a year's worth of being there. ... of the few times I've checked this Wiki, it seems to have gone downhill. This saddens me. However, the fact that you remain here is the reason it has not fallen apart, I believe. That's a brief summary of my year since February. More importantly, how have you been? And also, do you think this Wiki is much different to what it was way back? Dom »» McTalk I've met awesome people online, but still none surpass your Awesome Point score Considering the length and importance of that reply, I don't have time yet to give a sufficient response... just letting you know I have read it! Will be a few days for the reply, sorry. Dom »» McTalk (See, some things never change...) Huh? I requested an account on Userpedia and it gave me an error message when I verified it. WTF's going on? GreenYosho 23:04, 17 November 2009 (EST) ??? I can't create an account on Userpedia. GreenYosho Time Waits Not For Me Sorry for the delay... no need to worry, I plan on replying within 5 months at the most now! It's a slight improvement. It has been, and overall it's been a year I'd never repeat... definitely a lower score than most other years of my life. I don't suppose you list your years from best to worst, do you? My best was 2002 or '04, and worst was '01. Yep, but even when I'm awake my motivation remains at zero. I have to get an A+ on two exams to past the two respective subjects. Yeah, I've only redone about 30-40% of my lost game progress now... redoing the 3 Pits of 100 Trials was annoying, and it sucks that Brawl can't be saved to an SD Card. It's stupid. No, not Brawl... that's a good game. You're lucky you even had the opportunity to take philosophy courses - my school is small and has few choices. Oh, and you're also lucky to have friends to speak of! I'm almost certain it's just a phase for those friends you mentioned. And yes, you are the personification of... I dunno, getting through tough times... I do vaguely remember... reading all that, you've had a whole lot going on in your life... a lot. I feel bad for having left at a time just before that happened, as I would've been able to offer reassurance had I been on. Congoatulations on finishing those college finals! Yeah, I think there is maybe a law of averages that applies to life... the good balances out the bad. But if that's the case, I'd have to win the lottery or something in the future, lol. Well then, I'm glad I was away during that time. That... that's really quite scary, what you speak of. In fact, I was like "holy s**t!" when I read all that. I must say, it's a relief that Porple aka Steve has the power to revert the server, undoing all that damage. Would've been a disaster otherwise. Quote: The trolls were eventually stopped — one of them (whom I knew in real life) was arrested and sent to prison for several years — and the wiki starting recovering. That... that is.............. SWEET JUSTICE! That is one of the best things I've read on the internet all year. Now I am awash with curiosity... if you don't mind, I'd like to know: 1.That person you knew in real life - did they know you and have something against you? 2. I love knowing that internet crimes can have 'real life' consequences... shows that you can't get away with something just because people can't see you. I was wondering what the actual charge was? Good that all that stuff happened afterwards... however, I have no intention of returning here. Next year I won't be able to even if I want to. Dom »» McTalk Forgot this... Reminder Is there something wrong with my reminder template (User:Marioguy1/reminder)? The coding seems to be messed up. Marioguy1 (Talk | Contribs) AHAAHHAhaHAHA such a funny boy. — Stooben Rooben 00:34, 22 November 2009 (EST) What? That wasn't a joke - it really is messed up. Check the coding. (MG1 is embarrassed) Marioguy1 (Talk | Contribs) I got the first variable to work, but the second one won't work because your sig has a variable in it already.
