hi its me rocky0718 the guy that had the relitivity theroies so get to the goolix talk soon.

again.go to goolix.
go go go go!
you know the drill.
blah blah blah get going.-rocky0718

Oh, I just noticed you commented in my user talk! Sorry, I don't check there often, any way, maybe metal between walls/boards in your house is interfering with your router's signal. (By the way, I use the American English good, ya?) =) -Me_just_in

Use a wired network - then there's no chance of interference. Wires are the way forwards... - Greenpickle(talk) 17:19, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, the problem is that I would have to lay a wire all the way from the ground floor to the third, and the shaft with the the wires and pipes comes out the opposite side from my room in the staircase. It would be too difficult to drill a new shaft. However, the signal has gotten better since the new router, so it only breaks off rarely. Still, it's hard to tell when that will be.

Anyway, I posted this here because I wanted to know if one of you two has the NTSC version of the games. Living in Germany, I have PAL, and I read on Greenpickles cannel on Youtube that he's in UK, which; I assume, has PAL aswell. So, there are stiil some matters in the Treasure Hoard for which we would need an NTSC version. For example: the Fruit Guard.

Oh, right; Greenpickle, how do you manage to make such high quality pictures? I doubt that your using an ISO and Emulator.--Prezintenden(babble) 18:38, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Firstly, as a future Bureaucrat, I must point out that downloading ISOs and ROMs is illegal. Secondly, my friend has the NTSC version, (I live in the U.S., Pennsylvania), anyway, I'm pretty sure he'd let me borrow it so I could look into such discrepancies. Finally, Its almost impossible to find Game Cube ISOs, let alone a working emulator.-Me_just_in

There's no way my computer would be able to handle a GameCube emulator... I have a DVD recorder, so I just extract images from recorded video. And yes, my version is PAL. Just wondering, does your living in Germany mean English is your second language?
Me just in, I think downloading ISOs and ROMs is only illegal if you don't own the game yourself. They can be legally downloaded and said to be backups of your original copies. And GameCube ISOs aren't that rare...but how could you have possibly come to that conclusion...? And I had to change some of your code; it was making my comment italic. - Greenpickle(talk) 21:54, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

To begin, sorry about my boorish, chauvinistic code, (I joke, but still apologize). I believe that downloading ROMs is illegal, regardless of the fact that they are owned by the download-er or not, (Its like downloading a CD track, its still illegal if you own the CD, is it not?). Also note that I am not offended by any of your previous comments, even if my written tone sounds slightly harsh.-User:Me_just_in

Yeah, it's not as legal as I made it seem, but I think there are cirumstances under which it is. I'm not sure of what those are, though. I know that Nintendo prints a 'This game may not be copied or backed up' or something to that effect on their games, or has done since a few years ago. - Greenpickle(talk) 22:07, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Ah, yes, a DVD recorder. That would explain why your often active with the captains in the pictures.

And, no, I did not learn English in school. I lived in Canada for a while and learned it there.

Also, the Gamecube reads disks the oppisite way from computers, which makes it hard to copy and edit them, so I'd guess doing so wouldn't be totally legal. However, I've read what Greenpickle said: "They can be legally downloaded and said to be backups of your original copies" multiple times on the internet, so it's quite a blur to me what Emulations are.

Right, one last thing: the text that pops up on the main page when you have new messages; is there some possible why to change it? It says: "...new messges on Pikmin, pikmin." And both 'Pikmin' link to the talk page.--Prezintenden(babble) 06:17, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure if its possible, maybe if a user had sysop/bureaucrat rights they could find some option, but that is slightly doubtful. (I'm sure it'll get figured out though.)-Me_just_in

I know there is a way to do that, and I've seen a tutorial before (I think...), but I don't know how. - Greenpickle(talk) 16:43, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for the tip, (I just made it into its own template, however, rather than a subarticle, (I tried =( )-Template:Me just in/Sig

Could you please not edit other people's stuff without them being asked about it first?Pikdude 22:00, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Sysop

You do have sysop rights now, correct?-Me_just_inEarly Mushroom Pikmin.jpg16:43, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

I certainly do, and I've made full use of it by deleting some pages. You already talked about this with everyone else, though, right?--Prezintenden(babble) 21:28, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Nope, I wasn't sure what happened, (I knew that Revan bureaucrated you guys, and sysoped me, but I wasn't sure if Angela demoted you or kept you guys bureaucrats or what, and I was just making sure you and Greenpickle had administrative rights).Me_just_inEarly Mushroom Pikmin.jpg00:57, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

To be honest, I don't think that it matters if we all rank the same. We're all doing the same tasks anyway and only needed the rights so we could widen our task. In my opinion, we we're all doing more the enough to be bureaucrats; I recall reading that Greenpickle and I already have more edits than most of the other inactive sysops (I'm not saying that that's the only thing that counts). So, if you don't disagree, I like to simply keep my rights that I accidentaly got. But if anyone disagrees, then I'll put them away. And why do you post on inactive userpages? First on Shadowclaws, or whatever his name is, then on Discordance's. They haven't been active for almost half a year.--Prezintenden(babble)

Oh, I didn't mean it like that. I was glad that you guys got bureaucrat rights, I was making sure that you guys even had administrative rights after I got promoted to bureaucrat, because if not, I was going to promote you and Greenpickle.Me_just_inEarly Mushroom Pikmin.jpg14:42, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

To the second inquiry, (Why do I post on inactive user pages?), I happen to stumble across them, and if there is a point of interest, and some other user may happen to stumble across that page, then there will be a recent discussion to contribute to. (Plus, I was bored).

Well then, glad you thought the same way. And for the User talk; yeah, makes sense now.--Prezintenden(babble)

Your Userpage

I was just wondering why you have a link to Prezintenden/sig on your userpage.GP

Uh...Good question...--Prezintenden(babble)

Vandal Blocked

Just wondered why you blocked him for a week and not forever.GP

Not quite sure. He said he'd stop now, and I thought if he sees he's blocked, he might completely lose interest. I didn't want to do anything wrong. If he starts again, we can still block him.--Prezintenden(babble)

Sagittarius' Talk Page

Why did you blank it?GP

I merely wanted to remove the link, but since he/she is completely inactive, I just deleted my old post.--Prezintenden

Ah, didn't realise it was your message you were deleting.GP

Possible Sysop Promote

I noticed the new member, Pikdude has been quite active. Perhaps if he proves to be a responsible, and active member, he could be promoted to sysop someday. Just throwing the idea out there. Oh, and if I'm not on again until after Christmas, have yourself a merry one. Me_just_inEarly Mushroom Pikmin.jpg05:32, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. You too. So far, he/she has only argued with me and made a rather questionable guide, but if Pikdude continues to submit more to articles (especially the treasures), I'll consider that. Hope you get some more free time again.--Prezintenden
