I am left...speechless. The kindness and geniality of this community, even from people who haven't interacted with me or known me, is absolutely staggering.
I apologize for sounding repetitive, but I honestly don't know what else to say except thank you. All of you, thank you so much.
Hello, VS Battles community. I'm sure most of the older members have been wondering for a long time why I have been absent for such an extended period, while the newer members have been wondering why the managing staff has a completely inactive bureaucrat.
My life for the past eight months has...
It is concerning to hear the degree to which you have been affected. It is also a relief to hear that you are taking a step back in order to take care of yourself.
Take as long as necessary to recuperate. You deserve the break, and you've more than earned it.
@Antvasima: Thank you for the kind words, my friend :D
And a massive thank you to you as well, both from me personally, and as Ryu mentioned, from VS Battles wiki as well. No one else has dedicated to this site in terms of sheer work as much as you have, and both me and this site are in your...
I would like to thank this entire community for helping VS Battles wiki achieve such an incredible feat :)
This is not the achievement, or even the result of one person. This achievement belongs to all of us; the entire community of VS Battles wiki. All of us working together to improve the...
It has come to my notice recently that the Calc Group discussion board is being under-utilized (in the sense that most calculation evaluation discussions continue to happen within calc/blog post comments section), which is a concern.
I realize that creating a corresponding new thread for...
About simplistic agreements: This is somewhat debatable, because at times some people's arguments really do sum up everything, and there's nothing left to add.
Nevertheless, simply "I agree" is not good enough. Even simplistic agreements must contain some explanation for the agreement, like: "I...
As I said, a month seems to be stretching a tad too long for my taste.
Though I suppose you're right, Ever. Weighing it against the magnitude of the project which may be required, a month seems to be more prudent.
Okay, that is good to know. Thanks.
In that case, we wait for now. Should the "temporary changes" not be reverted soon, we'll organize a project for it.
Two weeks seems like a fair waiting estimate to me.
Yes, patience is our best friend at this point. However, there was no response from the leadership at OBD? No hints as to whether or not the current status quo would be as is?
@Matthew: Looks fine. Furthermore, we can simply create a category "OBD Calculations", so that all OBD blog posts can...
Regarding Tonie:
Skimmed over the thread...argument seems illogical, but outburst seems to be borne out of simple frustration, and does not merit a ban.
A warning should suffice, and a small ban (around 1 week) if there is a repeat outburst. If any more illogical, massive upgrade content...
Please read the Tiering System. Transcending multiverses, or even complete, 11-dimensional multiverses = nothing compared to being categorized for 1-A.
Servant/representative/right hand/etc. - again, irrelevant terminology. None of those terms are remotely qualified to change a character's tier...
Indeed. Massive would be an understatement regarding the size of the project.
Also, created a thread regarding the issue. People with functional NF accounts can coordinate on that thread.
This thread is in regards to NarutoForum Calculations being blocked from viewing. There is a minimum edit count (or its functional equivalent) requirement of 25 edits, to be able to view the calculations at NarutoForums. Since most of our profiles feature links to NarutoForum calculations, hence...
@Matthew:
I can try. I think it will be temporary anyway, but I cannot control when it will return to normal.
Not a problem. The higher priority at the moment is to ascertain whether the situation is temporary, or permanent. We can decide a course of action depending on the answer to that...
We do not have access to Wikia's mediawiki installation directory, and thus cannot install the extension you're suggesting directly.
There is a script which I personally use to achieve the same effect, only better.
I could install it for everyone on the site, but it would result in an...
We all have real life responsibilities to tend to, and they, quite understandably, have a higher priority. My best wishes to you in pursuing your real life objectives.
P.S.: Your diminished active capacity is noted.
I did not really get to know you, but from I heard, you were a great guy, and it's unfortunate to see you leave.
Nonetheless, real life takes priority here, so my best wishes. Also, remember to take care of your health. My best wishes.
@Arigarmy: Well, as Voodoo said, he's been inactive for...
I agree with the premise of the suggestion.
However, I disagree at the moment regarding characters striking environment to be unacceptable.
There are several instances in which characters hold back by default, and are not explicitly shown doing so. Any direct environmental strike in such a...
Cross has been...well, one of the oldest and most hardworking members on this site. Not only that, but he is also one of my oldest friends.
I'm sorry to see that things were not working out for him on the wiki anymore, but I understand what is like to lose motivation.
My best wishes to you...
@Random-Helper323: Nice catch. Edited.
@DodoNova2: Not every fight involves humans.
Regarding knocking out duration, I would prefer we stick with the hourly limit, since some characters can be knocked out, but are nigh-impossible to kill, in which case knocking out for a minute seems far too...
After refreshing, my poll apparently vanished, but when I voted again, it showed the results as they were previously. How strange. Maybe polls shouldn't be refreshed after voting?
Yes, like "Naruto (chosen through poll) vs X character (chosen by yourself)". Since there will be at least one character the community has professed an interest in having a VS thread with, the featured thread will also receive input.
Hmm...I can see your vote though (after voting myself). You...
@Scarlet: Yes, something like that. Create a poll, and have members vote. Once the popular character is decided, choose a less popular character which would be a good match-up.
For example:
Which character would you like to see fight next?
Goku
2
Naruto
1
Luffy
1
The poll was created...
@Scarlet: To clarify by what I meant by, "everybody gets a fair shot", I mean have a mechanism in place so that people can voice their input as well.
How to do that? I would suggest creating a thread for it on Wiki Management board. And whenever you create a new featured VS thread, add:
"Note...
My personal suggestion:
Removing the opponent from the battlefield (BFR): 1 week+
Knocking the opponent out: 1 hour+
Permanently incapacitating the opponent, such that they cannot harm anymore: 1 day+
BFR is the cheapest victory method, but it should be considered a victory if the character...
This thread is created in response to a very valid concern raised by Dragonmasterxyz in this thread.
It is a long thread, but the crux of the matter is that the time limit for BFR is one month, which is far too large. The thread got me thinking that we need to re-evaluate what is an acceptable...
@Antvasima: I did write almost all of the rules, but I did not write the Standard Battle Assumptions page. The page was created by DontTalk, I merely formatted it.
To make matters simple:
Regarding the time-frame, the victory condition's acceptable time-frame need to be re-evaluated as a whole, which is being done here.
That narrows down the discussion to whether or not resurrection should be considered a form of incapacitation. In my opinion, yes, it...
Don't remember precisely, due to having watched TCW a long time ago, but based on what I remember, you're right, and Ventress' current stats are indeed irregular.
No idea about EU rating.
