Archiving 
Edit
Heh, that elided me for a while too. When you're on your talk page, if you click the down arrow that shares the "leave message" button, you'll see an option there to archive. Agent c (talk) 20:14, October 21, 2012 (UTC)
Apprentice Edit
Hi DG,
I'm looking to get a dual interview with you and DB as the two contestants that round out the top 4 after the Apprentice entries come in (so in the interview I'd also be asking for your comments on them). Will you be around Friday 0000 GMT/Wiki time (not sure which time zone you're in, but I think its likely to be evening or afternoon your time). 20:58, October 22, 2012 (UTC)
Caravan card Edit
Hi DG. On Caravan card, the information you added belongs, reworded, on the Dead Man's Hand article, as it pertains directly to that challenge and the note itself does not focus on the card, but rather a property it has that can be used for something else (i.e. the challenge). See you around! =) --Skire (talk) 22:57, October 25, 2012 (UTC)
- Oh, haha! I guess I've been focusing a bit too much on the negatives eh? Well there are plenty of things you do well, so I'll definitely make sure to mention those in the future when I give you updates. Sorry! Thanks for letting me know =) --Skire (talk) 01:44, October 26, 2012 (UTC)
Fallout Extreme items Edit
You know, I was debating on what to do about these recent edits, when I realized something. Item articles aren't even supposed to have an Appearances section, so now I'm really unsure about what to do. Paladin117>>iff bored; 02:41, October 26, 2012 (UTC)
- Your edits weren't bad, it's more the section thing I'm debating. I might have to ask someone about it. Paladin117>>iff bored; 02:48, October 26, 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah, that should be alright. Paladin117>>iff bored; 03:36, October 26, 2012 (UTC)
Dear Dead Gunner,Edit
I noticed you did a lot of editing. I am new to the whole editing aspect of any of the wikis. I was wondering where you got your information for when you edit or are you just the first to edit and hope someone fixes it with something that has fact to back it up? Just any tips from someone who has been doing this for a while would be great. Thanks. --Unabated (talk) 03:08, October 26, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Chat Edit
Sorry I missed you, I was playing this game XD Next time you're on just let me know and hopefully I'll catch it =) --Skire (talk) 22:46, October 26, 2012 (UTC)
- I missed your PMs due to some connection problem. Sorry. We should definitely discuss another time, whenever possible. --Skire (talk) 01:48, October 27, 2012 (UTC)
Hey Edit
Hey there DG. I'm glad you like it! Sorry for my rush to exit earlier; only now do I realize that that image isn't exactly square enough for an icon. How would you like me to modify it to fit an icon-idea?
I use good-old Photoshop CS6. It's a bit pricey, but if you're a student, you can take advantage of their discount. Be sure to tell me if you plan to dig into Photoshop, because I'd be happy to provide tips / tutorials / et cetera.
Also, you can snag a 30-day free trial here. Happy 'shopping!
- No problem, Gunner. Which portion of the image would you like as your avatar? Since it's so far from square, I'll have to crop it down to a square shape before it's usable.
16:35, October 27, 2012 (UTC)
- I realized some very simple ways to make a square version of that image. How's this?

Hey Dead Gunner! I made ^that userbox a while ago, but now have just decided to hand it out to participants now.

Hey DG, I've added a counter proposal to the signature image size vote. I'd appreciate any thoughts on it. Agent c (talk) 19:48, October 27, 2012 (UTC)
Patroller Edit
Congrats, I'm giving you patroller rights. I've checked a number of your recent edits and you have a working knowledge of content organization, editing guidelines and wikimarkup. One note about your new rights: Please do not use rollback unless it's needed. Use undo whenever you can. It allows you to leave an edit summary about why you've removed a user's edit, while rollback does not. Save rollback for when there are multiple vandalizing edits on the same article and you need to revert them quickly. Always remember to notify an admin when vandals strike so they can be blocked quickly, then undo the damage. If you have any questions about the use of partoller tools, let me know. The Gunny 
16:09, October 28, 2012 (UTC)
- Let me be the second to congratulate you in your new rights! You've earned it. And with the rights come A. a new userbox!
 | This user is a Patroller of Nukapedia. |
- And B. a little advice from a veteran. First off, listen to what Gunny said, use rollback only when truly needed as those edit summaries are really important. And when you do undo a vandal, just leave Vanadal as your edit summary and an admin will always see that. Just makes our jobs a bit easier you know? Anyways, congrats again Nate! -- The Old World Relics (talk) 16:18, October 28, 2012 (UTC)
Congrats, you should let Chad know you got that rights. Energy X ∞ 16:21, October 28, 2012 (UTC)

As for NUN, I'm going to keep you for just a bit longer I think. --Skire (talk) 13:57, October 29, 2012 (UTC)
Lot's of edits. Edit
I'm vivisecting everything with the GECK, and it's kinda hard to keep all those details in memory... you don't want my head to go boom, don't you? :) Ang congrats on becoming a patroller! --Theodorico (talk) 21:41, October 28, 2012 (UTC)

Chat Edit
Wish I could buddy, but I'm at work for the next 2hrs.
Thinking about the Polls, I have a feeling you're interested. I can't commit to it, I run too much as it is in the Blogspace. As there may be a few people interested, wondering if maybe a rolling host may work... Any thoughts? Agent c (talk) 21:57, November 1, 2012 (UTC)
Polls Edit
I don't have any intention of doing the polls permanently. I agree I have too much on my plate for that, but a one off emergency edition I can manage as a matter of getting something out the door, and having some sort of new, normal service follow. The question is what is going to happen to it, and your comments have seemed rather non committal and not terribly enthusiastic about it... I'm thinking maybe a rotating host for a little while with an open call for "Auditions" may work. do you have any thoughts about a long term strategy for it?

The JungleEdit
Hey Gunner, you have some writing talent there! But we already knew that from The Apprentice. It's written in a rather grim style, with a sense of despair where the reader hopes for the player character to see some light coming through the darkness somewhere. Reminds me of Fallout 3, where the same style was one of its strong points. I wonder what you will make of the man in the black duster. Good or bad? I think I know. But well done, and you can certainly progress the story form there if you want. And I wanted to make use of this opportunity to thank you for stepping in on the polls after Energy X left. It's important these polls continue. Jspoel 
23:13, November 3, 2012 (UTC)
Approval Edit
I find you to be the least terrible person on here. That doesn't mean much, especially since i firmly believe many people on here to be absolutely terrible,but you seem the best.
I know, i know, these people are nice and such, i just think theyre terrible. Terrible.
There is 1 i firmly dislike. Limmie.

Thank you, and Happy (future) Verteran's Day to you, too. The Gunny 17:01, November 11, 2012 (UTC)
What to say ? Edit
I, the guy who never shuts up, even when it's in his best interest. I am dumb struck honestly speechless.
The tokens and well wishes remembering the service of folks like me and Gunny offered mean more than you might imagine.
I consider my self a manly man. Man enough to admit when I saw the tokens and fine well wishes, You, Dead Gunner, Eden 2012, The Old World Relics and Tocinoman honored my talk page with, it left me speechless for more than an hour.
When I saw I had a message, literally, I spoke aloud "Quote" Wholly Fuck, what have I done now? "End Quote" Then I bared my teeth in a smile of acceptance and opened the page. What I found, well it honestly brought a tear to my eye.
Y'all shared your thanks for those of us who served. So I will do as my V.A. Therapist tells me and open up to share as well.
I have not been dealing with my "Most Honorable" yet, Obama, FORCED retirement. It has weighed on me most heavily since the 8th of November. I have been trying to keep a happy face on it. Still your kind words and more than fair tokens today means more to me than any metal I have socked away in a drawer.
So now it is my turn to gladly thank you all. I would do it all again. Thank YOU!

If you feel your edits have been reverted without cause, leave a message on the article talk page, with the reverting editor, or one of Nukapedia's active administrators.

Dead, again you don't seem to be following guidelines on this... I'm refering to The Superhuman Gambit. Whilst its good you reached out to the person, both of you should also stop editing the page until a consensus is formed. If there's any doubt, grab an admin.

you 'undid' my edit on trail carbine Edit
you think trail carbine's manual reload is an advantage. It's not. even though you can interrupts reload to shoot, manual reload is so slow, if it's not manual reload, you don't NEED to interrupt. It's not an advantage. It's an disadvantage50.99.131.84 01:59, November 26, 2012 (UTC)
Sorry but your argument is illogical. Even if i take fast reload and have high agi, other guns still reload faster than manual reloading just one bullet for this gun. It's like saying dirt is better than real food because dirt is plentiful, having one aspect of the mechanism not such as the rest still make the whole thing suck.
manual reload simply is inferior in EVERY SINGLE ASPECT, please refrain from adding controversial OPINION to a wiki. 50.99.131.84 04:10, November 26, 2012 (UTC)
-.- I never added opinion to my edits 50.99.131.84 23:55, November 28, 2012 (UTC)
Article titlesEdit
Due to wiki formatting, the first word of the title of any article has to be capitalised. Plus, it wouldn't look nice if we had article titles all in lowercase =P --Skire (talk) 02:15, November 29, 2012 (UTC)
PollsEdit
Hey Nate. I'd like you to inform that most of the polls you have made have been done before (Or is it what you intended?). Energy X ∞ 18:08, November 29, 2012 (UTC)
Someone to watch over me contribution. Edit
Dead Gunner,
On the page for the Fallout: New Vegas quest "Someone to watch over me," I edited the following into the page "(Note: a speech check of 45 or a barter check of 35 is required to initiate this response)." Later on, you then deleted my contribution claiming "it says that 3 lines down....." However, what I was referring to in my contribution was not the same speech and barter check as the one three lines down. Therefore, I have once again contributed with the same note, and I ask you not to change the said common again.
Thank you, http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/User:Figfoe89
Why did you revert my edit on Linden's Outcast power armor? Edit
I believe it's rather important to point out the exact reason why Linden's armor isn't treated as Outcast armor. Do you disagree? --Kazeite (talk) 01:02, December 5, 2012 (UTC)
you are disgusting and i will do everything in my power to make sure this account is no longer —Preceding unsigned comment added by FalloutNewVegas420 (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with ~~~~!
Next pollEdit
Seeing as everyone is advertising th Hobbit movie, can you ask the question to the Nukapedians will they see the movie? I'm not saying you should make a poll about it, only a question to everyone who reads it. Energy X 
22:47, December 6, 2012 (UTC)
- It is your choice. It is better that you ask the question, as it is hard to say which game should be featured in the poll. Just an advice. Energy X 22:52, December 6, 2012 (UTC)
Dem tings Edit
- I see you put in a mod request. I would make your strong point, taking over the poll part bigger. It was important someone did. Jspoel 19:40, December 8, 2012 (UTC)
Sorry DG, I just realised you're just a week shy of 2 months from your last failed request. As such I've had to lock your request. The good news is the page will unlock in a week when you go over the 2 month line. Agent c (talk) 20:23, December 8, 2012 (UTC)
Hey DG,
Just a spot of advice for you. Challenging peoples votes on their talk page doesn't tend to go well around here. Sig did something similar on his early requests, and whilst I thought it was a good idea (if itr is handled in the right way), a lot of folks felt that this was "vote bullying" and didn't apprentieciate it. Its something I'd reconmmend avoiding for that reason.
Best advice I can give on that is wait until the page unlocks and carefully address the points in the comments section. Agent c (talk) 13:20, December 9, 2012 (UTC)
I'd like to talk to you later this afternoon, if possible. It's somewhat important. Right now I'm heading out to my brother's concert >_> so I'll be back around 1600 EST. --Skire (talk) 16:35, December 9, 2012 (UTC)

Your user rights requestEdit
Just to inform you, an anon wrote that he was you and that he would close your request. Jspoel checked with usage of his awesome Check User rights and saw that the anon isn't you. Who knows why was that done... Energy X 19:12, December 18, 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, I checked that. Turned out to be Retro Radiation King. Jspoel 19:15, December 18, 2012 (UTC)
My Vote Edit
There isn't much to discuss and I didn't mean it in a negative way, only that there is room for improvement and the position for which you are applying isn't currently needed. I have read your application fully but I would like you to give me at least two solid reasons as to why giving you chat mod privileges will benefit the wiki.

Well, I mean, I sure have done a bit. Not sure on the ratio of good to bad... sure, I might've been looking out for the little guy because I've always been the little guy in life and I know how it feels to be part of a community where you're afraid to speak up. But then there's been a lot of stuff that I did wrong. Like losing my administrator rights for telling another admin to get fucked. Or something, I can't remember the specifics. My position in life in general at that point in time was just dismal, in my defence.
Anyway, I appreciate it. I'm not going to lie, I can't say I really know you too well other than seeing your name in comments or in the chat on occasion, but from what I can see you seem to be a righteous dude. All I can really say is, whether it be on the internet or in real life, never be afraid to speak up. The little guy needs a voice too, and sometimes shouting is the only way to get people to listen. If someone on the Wiki says something you don't like you challenge that in a respectable manner. And if you're getting the short end of the stick in real life, you gotta step up and say something. And that goes for anyone else in the same position; help your fellow human up when they're feeling down. I can't count the times I've been down with nobody there to lend a hand, and it's not a great feeling. Don't let anyone feel that way even if you hate their guts.
Anyway, I'm sort of going off on a tangent. I like to fool myself into thinking I'm wise or something. Long story short, if everyone on the planet can just show a little compassion to other living things then life will become the gift that many have forgotten it's meant to be. And it all starts with the individual. So... I dunno. Nice talking to you, even if I think I was mainly talking to myself. I'll be quiet now because I'm probably starting to sound like a madman. 07:33, December 30, 2012 (UTC)
Thanks Edit
Thanks man, I'll come to you soon once I've gotten use to all the rules and guidelines if I haven't yet mastered editing then I'll leave you a message. Hope to contribute a lot to the wiki.--Son of Eden (talk) 17:35, January 13, 2013 (UTC)
ApprenticeEdit
Hi, you might remember last week I revealed the "pre-qualification" challenge for this years apprentice... This is just a quick note to confirm that should you choose to play this year (and I hope you do), you don't have to play this challenge. I'm hoping to kick off the main game at the end of Feburary, and am talking to Bethesda about some lovely prizes. Some challenges this year will be a bit similar (but with a twist), and some will be completely new. I hope I can count you in. Agent c (talk) 23:03, January 13, 2013 (UTC)
Hay slacker where's mah damn Saturday poll ? Edit
I'm just play'n Brother ~;)
Here is a poll idea for ya, feel free to use it or not. Reword it however to suit your needs.
If all you could find where Thrown weapons, what would you choose?
- Throwing knife spear. Spearchucker Jones is my Christian name.
- Tomahawk The Tribals refer to me as "Silent Headspliter."
- Throwing knife That's right, I'm Carny folk & damn proud of it!
- Protonic inversal throwing axe. The Lobotomite's think I am the God of Death.
- I'd throw a Rake or Bent tin can if the game would let me but you did not list my favorite so I'll write in my own.
- Screw it all, I'd just use my bear hands. Stealth is for guys who wear tuxedos & wish they had a monkey companion.
Have fun with it, or not.. It's just a sugestion

Patroller blog Edit
Howdy. I made a blog covering some patroller/rollback stuff. Mostly things everybody knows already, but a few things there I wanted to make sure we were all on the same page about. Take a look at User_blog:The_Gunny/Admin_talk_-_Patrolling_and_rollback and let me know in the comments that you've had a chance to check it out. Thanks, The Gunny 02:11, January 18, 2013 (UTC)

Dead Gunner this is Saint Pain OVER ? Edit
Yeah, I would like to evoke your X-Mass offer to communicate with folks on chat. Still not for my self.
- Please let folks know GarouxBloodline has returned & he would like to kick start the many SNM Game Room challenges.
- I support his creative wish to inspire folks & I would be grateful if you could help spread the word.
- No need to even mention my name.. I would not wish to defeat the purpose ~;P Just word it how ever you wish.
I think it would be fun. I hope you play along & thanks for your time brother.

Heh, Heh, this is Despara, I just left the post on the ED-E bug, but wasn't logged in. (Can't remember my password on the new browser) Anyhow. I got back in the game after the ED-E fix and now have 2 ED-Es. One I can communicate to with the wheel and one I can't. The new one has the original one's upgrade to weapons and they both fight. Too funny.
Hobo sign Edit
I was in the middle of undoing it, and you beat me:P I think it would be notable, but the signs are too ambiguous. The typical sign for doctor is the Caduceus symbol as far as derelicts are concerned.--TwoBearsHigh-Fiving

Nuclear Winter Edit
Yo DG,
Just with a Nuclear Winter... Its not really related to the "Greenhouse" effect at all... The two though do have opposite primary effects.
The Greenhouse effect brings up global temperatures by certain gasses trapping heat... This is what makes Earth warm and venus Hot - as opposed to stone cold Mars which doesnt have much of an atmosphere. I don't think there's much talk on nukes causing these as I dont think they emit much in the way of CO2, Methane, etc.
Nuclear winter is very different. The theory goes that the fires, blasts, and other destruction that would happen would increase the amount of dust, soot and other particles in the air (with I think nukes doing a fair bit to help draw those bits up higher into the atmosphere than ususal... The winds up there can keep them there for some time). These in turn reduce the amount of solar energy hitting the earth, causing a "nuclear winter".
How bad a nuclear winter is depends on who you ask, what nukes, and how many... Guesses seem to range from total night for years (which they think would have happened after the meteor that knocked out the dinosaurs hit... The "nuclear winter" that followed reduced the amount of food that could grow, allowing small creatures, particularly small mamals to do much better than giant hungry lizards), to maybe a few years of "Nuclear Autumn" (Maybe some reduced crop yelds and a bit darker than usual, but not the end of the world)... to perhaps nothing at all.
Anti-Greenhouse effect I suppose is more correct than greenhosue effect, but I've removed the term greenhouse completely and changed it to just plain cooling. Agent c (talk) 22:59, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

ADB Edit
Hello, Gunner. This is a message that I will be circulating through Nukapedia's Sysops. A while back I had created a more suitable version of the Administrators' Discussion Board as an attempt to help regulate important matters that require immediate attention from the veteran users around Nukapedia. With Fallout 4 on the horizon, I would like to begin making this feature more widely embraced, so that we all are more comfortable and familiar with using it for when the time comes around that we'll need to look towards it the most. What I would like to see is for an example to be set for where certain matters should be discussed within our community, as well as creating an environment where users will know that their issues will be addressed in a timely and fair manner. What does this mean, exactly?
- Appropriate topics should be addressed within the ADB instead of the normal fora space. Not only is the ADB a general area to condense important topics, but it is also always kept at the top for easy access. (As well as having a place within the Community Messages.)
- All Administrators, Moderators, Patrollers, and Bureaucrats should make it a priority to check through the ADB at least once every few days or so. This is the duty of mantling the extra tools, after all, and is not too much to ask for.
- The ADB should make an appearance within new user's welcome message.
- If a topic within the fora has been made that is of significant importance and affects the wiki as a whole, these topics should be moved into the ADB.
- It is my hope that these requirements will help our community become more familiar with where they should go to have their grievances and ideas properly heard. Right now, the ADB has been largely ignored because the Sysops have also largely ignored it, and this is unacceptable at times when important matters such as this one are mostly by-passed except for a couple of people. With the chaos that is soon to come with the new title(s), all I am asking is for a bit of responsibility in making sure that we all recognize issues and ideas as they come up, and making sure that we do our parts in seeing them through. Thank you for reading, and I would greatly appreciate some feed-back. Once a general consensus has been reached, possible changes will be taken care of.
Some Assembly Required! 22:10, February 27, 2013 (UTC)
You're in!Edit
Greetings…. I Willy Wonka shake you firmly by the hand… No wait, sorry, wrong script.
Welcome to the Apprentice for 2013, we're delighted to have you as a contestant this year.
Challenge 1has been posted, and has a deadline of 23:59 Wiki time, 23 March. We can accommodate a little wiggle room, but need to have judging done for the 28th to tie in with some other marketing opportunities.
Once we have all challenges in , I'll be offering early access to the second challenge. It will go up for all comers when the public vote is closed, but we will email it to any contestant who sends us their email address (nukapedia@gmail.com) as soon as all entries from the last challenge are in.
Early access can help give you a bit more time… there is the risk of you not getting further of course, but it can give you time to decide what you're going to do at least.
Good Luck. Agent c (talk) 23:28, March 1, 2013 (UTC)
Yo DG,
You need to make sure you're including the community news category in your Polls. I've setup a landing page for Fallout Apprentice which will be hopefully drawing in visitors from around Wikia, with the Community News blogroll used to highlight our other community features, like your polls.
Not to mention the upcoming changes to the front page. Agent c (talk) 15:02, March 10, 2013 (UTC)
Polls Edit
Hey DG,
When you create the polls tomorrow, please don't add it to the "news" or the "March 2013 news" category. Instead add it to "Community news" and "March 2013 community news" categories (the second of those may not exist when you create the poll if you beat me to my news report, in that case feel free to create the category page for it).
I've changed over the front to the split features/game news format, and adding it in both will cause duplication. Agent c (talk) 21:41, March 15, 2013 (UTC)
Poll suggestion Edit
I have a suggestion for a poll. Since the world of Fallout is a dangerous one, items are incredibly important to a player. One such example are chems (aka drugs). Those little chems are so darn useful in the game, you can't get enough of them! Well, I certainly can't...
Chems come in a wide variety, and each have different uses. Of course, using the chems which are addictive comes at a price, obviously in that you may develop an addiction to them. So which addictive chem do people find most useful in the series? That's my poll suggestion, hope you like it :)
I'd create a poll based on this list;
Buffout, cateye, jet, hydra, ant nectar, mentats, psycho, med-x (which I like to nickname vicodin, a House joke of mine), alcohol, steady, coyote tobacco chew, rebound, turbo.
I chose not to include things like slasher or rocket, because those things are either a combination of the effects of multiple chems (slasher combines the effects of psycho and med-x) or are an improvement over the original chem (rocket restores 15 more action points than jet), and so would probably result in a bias in the results.
For a funny final choice for people to pick during the poll, you could probably add "I don't do drugs. Drugs are bad m'kay?"
Anyway, thanks for your time :)

ApprenticeEdit
Hi,
This is just a message I'm relaying around all apprentice candidates, for fairness and clarity everyone is getting the same message, so forgive me if parts of this you already know, or isnt applicable to you.
There's just less than a week to the deadline for Challenge 1 (23:59 GMT 23rd March). Looking at what some of you have posted so far, it looks like the bar this year is going to be set quite high. I'm looking forward to seeing what you call can do.
We have a new "home" page for the apprentice in The Fallout Apprentice Landing Page. This has been created mostly as a place to direct traffic for Wikia's marketing, but feel free to link to this direct yourself. It will be updated to have details of all challenges on it. You can continue to use the old "disclaimer" template, the redirect page is now pointing to this landing page.
I'll be releasing the second challenge as soon as I have the last submission for Challenge 1; this will initially be sent via email. If you havent already emailed Nukapedia@gmail.com with your prefered address, please do so now; otherwise you'll have to wait about a week until the public reveal.
Lizzunchbox has confirmed reciept of a load of goodies from Bethesda. I'm still waiting to confirm the details, but hope to have a pick up with your entries after the public have voted. We're hoping for a reveal of all entries on the 28th, with a vote then open for a week on the bottom 3 to decide on who will be eliminated.
If you have any challenge queries, you can post it in this forum; you can also send them to Nukapedia@gmail.com if you would prefer your question to be anonymous (and I'll post it for you).
If you anticipate any problems posting on time, please let me know ASAP, we do have a limited amount of flexibility available.

Poll suggestion Edit
I'm currently replaying New Vegas after about 1.5 years or so, so my suggestion will be New Vegas themed. P.S I don't know if these have been done before.
Suggestion 1: What did you first think was the 'secret weapon' that Mr House had hidden in the Underground Bunker at The Fort?
-A nuclear bomb?
-In the words of Yes-Man, a giant robot or something.
-Guns. Lots and lots of guns.
-Some kind of deadly chemical weapon.
-A genetically engineered organic super-soldier, or an army of them.
-I managed to figure out that he had a Securitron army down there. That, or I looked it up online or read the guide...
-I honestly had no idea what he might have had hidden down there.
-Nothing, because I thought Mr House was bluffing.
And another bonus suggestion: Do you actually know how to play Caravan? (The new card game introduced in Fallout: New Vegas).
-Do I know how to play it? I play it in real life with my friends!
-Yes, I do. I can win games of it fairly easily.
-I know most of it, I can win games but I don't know what every card does.
-Sort of, I know the basic aim in order to win.
-Blah blah! Card games blah! (In other words, Caravan is like jibberish to me)
-I've never even heard of Caravan until this Poll.
-Caravan sucks. Tragic the Garnering is where it's really at.

Could you please tell me how to upload music players from U tube? All I know how to do is load full videos.

Music player hosting Edit
That would be awesome & I am again more than grateful for you willingness to be so helpful here.
- This ain't suck'n up just recognition brother.
Yeah even with your fine instructions.. I'm old & unaccustomed to "technology" I tried to figure it out but it makes my brain feel like I just snorted drain o or Abraxo cleaner stuff (@.#)~>
- I have a wish list of a bout 10 songs that represent specific locations and or faction moments. You could always delete them later if they are not of your taste or use up space in whatever server. Some would be cool to keep but none are vital to my existence past this phase of the game.
I am just weary though.. I would hate to have anyone accuse you of cheating by do'n this. I would sooner bow out and admit my own ignorance to posting music.
I am grateful for your wish to aid. Please talk about it with your fellow mods and admin folk & if they have any real issue with you hosting my song picks I understand. It is a brilliantly kind offer I hope they go for it but I would understand if they do not.
Be well Brother & have fun out their ~BD
SaintPain→ That was broke afore I got here." 20:12, May 15, 2013 (UTC)
Thought bout your offer but ya know what? .. It is cool. I do not need it. Still I am grateful. I'll do a playlist and offer YouTube links to anyone who cares enough to be that curious.
I offer my thanks and ask you honestly not to worry about it brother. Your offer was more than kind. I thought about it. I don't need all that. Most folks would not bother to play them anyway. It should be about the story & style ~;)
