Talk:Arcane Monk (4e Class)

It's unlikely that this will be ported to that wiki. For one, we are a splinter of that wiki (a major splinter at that...being all but three or four people).

 * When you said you're a splinter, you meant something bad? ):


 * Maybe. It wasn't a happy split. This was before my time and my understanding may be biased by my sources, but from what I've heard there were disagreements about marking ownership on an article (via the author template), about who had final say over edits to an article (community vs. no longer clearly displayed author), whether an article would be deleted or not (because the wiki doesn't have to under the license it was released under, but it could if an author asked), and a few other things. And Green Dragon rammed his interpretation down everyone's throat, causing a whole bunch of temp bannings and bad feelings and a bunch of users to leave (first to wikia, which was abandoned for UI update reasons).


 * We retained the author template, primary author control, delete on demand, and a few other things (some of which we no longer use or have updated). And the culture differences between the two wikis have grown since then. For example, we actively revert ip edits that make changes greater than clarity bits. Mechanical alteration by anyone other than the author is very frowned on here, unless specifically allowed by the original author. And since we don't really do the community ownership thing, we are less a traditional wiki in that sense. We think it's a more stable environment than the other wiki and value that, but it's really a preference call.


 * So, 'bad'? Hard to say. I prefer the way that we do a number of things, but I recognize that the other wiki serves a different population than we do at this point and that most of the stuff I like about here is a matter of preference that others may not share. I wish them well in that. As for cross-posting, I wouldn't expect it. There's just too much cultural and formatting (because we did evolve in a different way) differences at this point for it to be the norm. Any individual author is welcome to do so though, GD's utterly incorrect rants about it being illegal under license terms not withstanding. - Tarkisflux Talk 18:18, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Great Jesus Christ! ):> That's horrible! ):>

Well, at least I'll give each and every one of you all a thousand eternal blessings my dear friends! :)

I do wonder. :) What chosen "4e Classes -> http://dnd-wiki.org/wiki/4e_Classes,_Paragon_Paths,_and_Epic_Destinies <-" would you all be anyway? I would LOVE be a "Rimefist Arcane Monk -> http://dnd-wiki.org/wiki/Arcane_Monk_(4e_Class) <-" because I am the "Ice Element" type of course and I could surely use infinitely long-ranged "Ice Element" abilities, like summon a infinitely ultralong great longbow and a virtually unlimited ammo of arrows made entire of a virtually unlimited cryokinetic arcane magical power and shoot a forever endless beam of also virtually unlimited cryokinetic arcane magical power from a tip of my index finger! :D Won't that be so 1,000% overly-ultra-Hyper-UBER-OVERHYPERSPARKLERIFIC?!?!?!?!?!? :D
