User talk:Spazalicious Chaos/Darwinian D&D- Evolution of a Thought Form

Blog
You should put that on your blog kiddo. EDIT:Nice april fool. --Leziad 06:41, 1 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Don't have a blog. Not an AFDP, mine was far less elaborate. They say that giving your grandmother nightmares of wnadering into the night and devoring school children is a terrible thing, but I just think it's funny.--Change=Chaos. Period. SC 15:09, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
 * As a small post statement, I put this on here so people have a better chance a getting a peek at how I see the gaming experience.


 * Right now in an orphan page, which mean as soon as it leave the recent edit list the only way to access it would by search. Just move it to User:Spazalicious Chaos/Blog/Page Name. --Leziad 17:48, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Cool story, bro --Ghostwheel 01:04, 2 April 2011 (UTC)


 * I concur --Azya 01:16, 2 April 2011 (UTC)


 * something I found out recently Surgo 01:26, 2 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Also if you want to write an essay, do it in your user space. The main space is for homebrew. Surgo 01:26, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
 * How is this main space again? To get to this page, you either have to A) wander into my user page and get interested enough to click on the links there (not likely) or B) catch it as it shows up in recent changes and click on resulting links there. So really, if this is getting spotlight at all, it is entirely the fault of the other posters. In total, this page has only gotten two major edits from me since it's creation: the creation itself and this post on the talk page. I really did intend this to be an indepth look at how ONE POSTER views the game. There will be more to come, these aren't even the first articles like this on this wiki. This will be the last major post on this I hope I will have to make. My thoughts in conclusion: this is a philosophy on a game that ultimately spawned the entire reason this website and our puny fantasy worlds exist, thus any argument against it is also an argument of philosophy. Unfortunately, "your dumb" doesn't work in philosophy, while citation of relevant sources and questions is it's foundation.
 * On that note, I ask you all to re-examine your previous statements and ask yourself if it is worth your time. If not, ignore this site and let it sink in the shifting sea of interent articles. Seriously, it has been over 24 hours since I posted this, making this in it's late middle age by internet standards. However, if you do have questions or counters, I will listen and present my case.--Change=Chaos. Period. SC 05:24, 2 April 2011 (UTC)


 * To be fair you posted it pretty close to 1st April... we all thought it was a big joke.--Leziad 05:40, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
 * It kind of looks like a big joke. Whether so-intentioned or not remains up for debate. --Sulacu 05:44, 2 April 2011 (UTC)


 * It's not? Well, uh... yeah then.


 * Well this ISN'T the palce for it, and untagged, it's just gonna get lost at sea. The others are correct that your user page is where this belongs.  If you were interested in people finding it (which I can't tell, on one hand you want it to sink, on the other you want people to see it) I'd do one of two things.  I'd start putting a footer on your stuff with links of your things, this included (like Ghostwheel and a few others have).  Or you can try 3.5e Other.... buuuut if you do that, you're gonna open it up to public scrutiny since 3.5e Other items should still have a point and, well, lets just say you don't want me commenting on that.  Unintentional humor abounds.  But yeah, put it on your user page.  I got my user page full of interesting tidbits.  -- Eiji-kun 05:52, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Admin Time
Since we lack a blog space, this and any future articles along the same lines need to live in user space as a subpage. Just like the reference article of Ghost's that SC linked above. You can basically do whatever you want with your user page subpages, excepting illegal things and other gross ToC violations, but the main namespace is for homebrew. If you don't intend this to show up in the main namespace nav as homebrew at any point in the future, and you have indicated you do not, it doesn't get to stay there.

This is not an invitation for discussion. Further discussion on the matter of where this should exist can stop now, and any further comments on this page should refer to its contents. - Tarkisflux 06:06, 2 April 2011 (UTC)


 * It occurred to me after (not enough) sleep that some of the confusion regarding "where this is" might be coming from a misunderstanding or general unfamiliarity of wiki pagename formatting. So here's some more words for reference. Each page is composed of two or more pieces: a namespace, and a page title. The basic format is :, where may have "/"s in it to indicate that it is a subpage of some other page. If there is no : in the pagename, then it belongs to the main or default namespace. As an example, the full pagename of this page is User talk:Spazalicious Chaos/Darwinian D&D- Evolution of a Thought Form, which indicates that it's a subpage of Spazalicious Chaos in the User talk namespace. And that's what people meant when they said this needs to be a subpage of your user page. The non-talk page should be at User:Spazalicious Chaos/ , which can be linked from your user page directly (like the links I edited already). Which puts it in the user namespace under your username, which is as good as we're going to get for blogs for a while.


 * Anyway, when people (including myself) said that this was in the main namespace they were technically incorrect. You had a : in the pagename before, and thus the page was in the "Spazalicious Chaos" namespace. We don't allow pages in non-standard namespaces for a number of boring technical reasons I won't go into, and that means you don't get to use :s in pagenames. If you had lacked the colon this would be in the main namespace, which is reserved for homebrew as I indicated above.


 * I don't mind answering any further questions you have about wiki structure if any of this wasn't clear or helpful. - Tarkisflux 17:37, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, as that was a huge help. I recognize I am very much a newb, but I'm okay with that so long as I have a opportunity to learn, lest I be stuck where I am and transform into a n00b.--Change=Chaos. Period. SC 20:13, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
