Yep, still a thing. I haven't been looking at it too closely and I guess nobody else has either. Also, good to see you again! -- Supermorff (talk) 14:11, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

Re:Sir Percival
Actually, the Knights of the Round Table are Alternate Doppelgängers. For example, explain the way Sir Gawain reacted to Sonic's comment about "a knucklehead I know" if he was really Knuckles. And Ali Baba, in SaSR, was puzzled when Sonic called him "Tails". They look the same, but they're different people. Think of it as the Moebian couterparts in the Archie comics. 18:41, January 7, 2013 (UTC)

Thank you
Thank you SlugDrone. That means a lot coming for from you. By the way, do you that in comparison to my recent work within the few weeks/days, or do you mean it in comparison to my whole time as an SNN editor? Because, I have done a lot major changes around here (Guess who the whole renovation of Sonic the Hedgehog (character)'s history section or síngle-handed started nearly all the articles about the humans in Sonic Unleashed? That was me (not to brag or anything... okay maybe a little :)   )Ultrasonic9000 (talk) 15:34, January 17, 2013 (UTC)

Well, its just that you are so loved/popular on SNN, so I can't help feeling bashful when you say I'm doing well :)Ultrasonic9000 (talk) 15:44, January 17, 2013 (UTC)

Blaze edit
Hello SlugDrone. I disagree with one of the edits you have made on the Blaze the Cat article. You seem to have removed this part:

'' Most of all, however, she come to understand the true meaning of friendship, making her more willing to accept help from others and to rely on them. Also, for those friends the Blaze feels close to, she can be really supportive and offer intelligent and wise advice to sooth them.''

I know it seems contradic Blaze's personality, but the article does not say that Blaze actually learned the meaning of friendship, which is a pretty big change for Blaze. Also, for the supportive part, it is how Blaze acted towards Silver in Sonic 06Ultrasonic9000 (talk) 16:08, January 25, 2013 (UTC)

He says that during the boss battle with her. I think he says "Wow she's fast, I give her that".Ultrasonic9000 (talk) 16:54, January 25, 2013 (UTC)

Thank you. The important thing is to notice and remember the small details. :)Ultrasonic9000 (talk) 17:07, January 25, 2013 (UTC)

You best, it's a great site -- 'Murphyshane -  熱! Don't click here '  17:38, January 25, 2013 (UTC)

Personally I don't care too much about the details of gameplay so long as its fun and addicting. Hence why I liked games like Black Knight I suppose, because I think that sword-play and Sonic-style speed is a pretty neat concept. Sure, it wasn't perfect in the actual game, but it was fun enough to the point where it was basically the only game I played for a while throughout the month I got it. Took a little bit getting used to at first, but once I got the hang of it I had a hard time putting the Wiimote down. My arms usually got sore when I finished playing!

Makes sense to me. One of the few things that professional critics seem to supposedly universally agree on is that Sonic's friends are somehow contributing to the ruination and "slow death" of the Sonic series and need to go. Personally, I think that they add more diversity to the cast and a lot of newer characters that show up these days are usually one-shot characters anyway, so I honestly don't understand all the criticism the other cast members get. So yes, I disagree with the critics on that one (then again I disagree with these critics on a lot of things, especially their habit of pulling incredibly stupid moves like Gamespy did with that top 10 Worst Blockbuster games list by listing the entire Sonic franchise as #1. As if contradicting the purpose of their own list, it covering individual games, wasn't stupid enough on their part... If they think they can honestly continue to call themselves professional critics after doing something as immature and band-wagon-ny as that then I think they should have a lot of people on that site fired for deluding themselves so badly.). In any case, I'll take your word for it on the friend missions.

Help
You took the words right out of my mouth. I know the user who wrote them and he is a huge Tails fan. Now, how to shorten it, I can't say what the proper procedure would be as I have not looked into the article so much (as frankly not to critiz you or anything at all, but you do tend to take a lot out that may actually have a meaning).

However, for starters, if you are especially thinking about the history section, I would suggest you take out the gamplay description parts and those parts that describes others actions too much in comparison to Tails as it is his history section and nothing more.Ultrasonic9000 (talk) 16:06, January 26, 2013 (UTC)

I meant that you should remove the part about the gameplay, not the history parts. There more to this than removing info. True, Tails' history may be one sided, but it is still good. All you have to do is add part about Sonic and have Tails take more of a secondary role, not remove material all together.Ultrasonic9000 (talk) 11:29, January 27, 2013 (UTC)

Like I said, I know who wrote that and I LOVES Tails, so much that he omly look at it from Tails' perspective in game where he takes an active role in gameplay and takes that into consideration, while ignoring all the other scenarios. What I'm saying is that as an editor, you look at all the senarios and comes to a conclusive explanation which works out for all scenarios. For example, in two out of three scenarios, Sonic fought Knuckles, while Tails only fought him in one. Then, when you explain that point in Tails', Knuckle's and Sonic's history, you COULD say that Tails aided Sonic in his battle against knuckles. That just how I see it.Ultrasonic9000 (talk) 12:32, January 27, 2013 (UTC)

Since I haven't checked those scenes out, it is for you to judge as I can't say for sure. As an editor, it is you root out the possiblities od the scenarios and post them in the best way possible. I'm sorry I can't help more, but I have something else I'm working on right now.Ultrasonic9000 (talk) 13:34, January 27, 2013 (UTC)

I'm... older than a teenager. As for when you seem to be in doubt about something I have this advice: Go to Youtube and look up some walkthroughs of the game in question and/or cutscenes and make your judgement.Ultrasonic9000 (talk) 13:41, January 27, 2013 (UTC)

Well then, you have to carefull what you write here. Not to misjudge you, since you are an admin and I suspect you know what you doUltrasonic9000 (talk) 13:45, January 27, 2013 (UTC)

No, I had to provide a false birthdate. XP But I joined SNN on June 20th, so I might change it to that. 16:24, January 28, 2013 (UTC)

Re:Skin
I assume you're talking about Forum:New Look. On my wiki, it's not exactly working (there's some conflict between MediaWiki pages). But if you go on the Sonic Heroes Fanon Wiki chat, you can see what Splash meant by "switching between themes". I think it could be a cool feature for chat, but that would conflict with several users' custom chat skins, including my own. What exactly do you want to know about the skin? 15:32, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

16:02, January 31, 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) Okay.
 * 2) Yeah, I thought the wiki needed some kind of "bulletin board" somewhere, so I made one myself. Some users like it so much they want it on the main page, and others are apathetic. Wow, your name does appear three times. O_O Still, nice to hear some positive feedback!


 * insert shocked expression here* You do? What about the joyful memories of reading through a new FU interview every month&mdash;actually, I've only been on the Sonic News Network for 7 months and 11 days, so I don't really have "fond memories of the past" on this wiki. Honestly though, I think most users would oppose, as they can't think of not having it; personally, I would be neutral on the subject. 16:09, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

No, I don't know your reputation of "throwing in huge changes", but it's starting to become apparent. Just a suggestion: maybe the FU interview could be moved from its template to a Sonic News Network subpage, so users could read it there instead of on the main page, and it could be mentioned on the right column of the main page like the Featured Article or displayed in Community messages. But what would fill in the space left by removing the interview? 16:22, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

What a tragedy. XP Oh, so the FA and FU sections can be switched or something? I guess great minds think alike (Not really :P). 16:31, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

Bringing the two wikis together
Good idea about the merger with Mobius Encyclopaedia, but I guess you noticed that we tried it and they refused to negotiate? -- Supermorff (talk) 12:01, February 3, 2013 (UTC)

They didn't give a reason. We were discussing it for a while, Thot Prad went away to talk with people on his end, then they turned us down. I wouldn't have minded if it hadn't worked out, but they didn't even try to negotiate. -- Supermorff (talk) 21:05, February 5, 2013 (UTC)

Length
The way I see it, the thing that makes a good wiki is exactly getting all the details. I mean, check out the other high quality wiki's out there One Piece wiki, Naruto Wiki, Mobius Wiki.. ect. They all have detailed descriptions that goes into the depths of the characters and the stories and subjects surrounding them. Shortning such info is like letting out important details, no matter how little. This is just the standard wiki style I have learned from and I try my best to follow suh examples.Ultrasonic9000 (talk) 18:29, February 6, 2013 (UTC)

Well, regarding the small scenes I an just taking things from Sonic's perspective that seems significant to him in those scenes in order to give it individuality. I have no intention to describe everything.Ultrasonic9000 (talk) 06:42, February 7, 2013 (UTC)

I'm right about what? What borders? If it's a problem, just change it back. -- Supermorff (talk) 13:51, February 10, 2013 (UTC)

I get that you want the Sonic-head background to be darker to go with the new theme. I don't understand why the smaller version looks so much dingier than the larger version you had up before, and I'd like you to please fix it [ED: Never mind, you put it back while I was typing]. I also don't understand why you've changed the white background behind the text so that it's now grey, because that is also contributing to the dinginess. I don't see any borders on the Sonic heads, no matter how closely I look. -- Supermorff (talk) 13:59, February 10, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the hex codes, but I think you've changed the colours again since then (buttons for sure, maybe header). Could you please give me the updated colours? Oh, and what's the colour for the thumbnail frame, do you know? Thanks. -- Supermorff (talk) 16:32, February 11, 2013 (UTC)

RE: New Look
Hi SlugDrones. Do you have access to the original version of those two images? The reason I ask is because they both have a shadow that's being clipped on the left side. See this screenshot where I've pointed to the clipping on each image. If these are the only versions you have, I'll try to clean them up to minimize the clipping.

 * Thanks for those source images. I scaled them down slightly to fit the size in your mockup and added the stars. Here is a preview that you can show to the community. If you guys want to use that, you can grab the background image here. If you and/or the community want to use a different background color (the preview uses #c5c5c5 to match your mockup), just let me know. It can easily be changed.

Woah!
I did...why do you ask?

EDIT: All I did was revert the infobox templates back to the way they were before we did the whole recolor thingy. I don't know who changed them after I did... 22:08, March 2, 2013 (UTC)

My... well, it's not the first time I've received that compliment, but... I'm flattered. Thanks... what makes you say that? 14:00, March 10, 2013 (UTC)

Heh, well I can see why people think of me that way, and it's appreciated. I'd like to keep up my contributions even more, as I often feel I don't do enough here. If I was more diligent like Unleashed (maybe not as diligent), then this may persuade more users to consider my adminship. I'll also wait until I've been here for a year before running. 16:02, March 10, 2013 (UTC)

I downloaded the sheet from the site (don't have the time or the patience to figure out exactly which site so I'll just link you to the sheet) http://img78.imageshack.us/img78/6416/silverwz0.png

FA and FU switch
I don't mind, but because the FU interview is so much longer, something else (e.g. the Sister Wikis section) needs to go in the left column to even them out. -- Supermorff (talk) 18:16, March 14, 2013 (UTC)

I don't understand why either of those things follow. If it's seriously uneven to the point that you can't make it look good, change it back. -- Supermorff (talk) 12:42, March 15, 2013 (UTC)

I'll be honest. No, I don't. But he's a minor character. What's gonna happen now? All comics featuring that character will be deleted? -- 'Murphyshane -  熱! Don't click here '  18:27, March 17, 2013 (UTC)

I've no idea how to contact him. Also, I don't think hee'd be impressed if I just went to him saying "Hey buddy, I downloaded your sheet a couple of weeks ago and changed around your character to make a new one!" But I suppose it would be better to tell him late than never. But once again I have no idea how to contact him -- 'Murphyshane -  熱! Don't click here '  10:52, March 18, 2013 (UTC)

I don't see what the big deal is. Other people modify fan-made sprites and nothing is said to them -- 'Murphyshane -  熱! Don't click here '  15:58, March 19, 2013 (UTC)

I'm having trouble wiki editing lately. First, check whether the original artist publically allowed people to use their sprites--sometimes they do, and if so there's no problem. Second, check whether the sprite was itself modified from an official source. If not, then get Murphyshane to contact the artist. If no contact or no permission is forthcoming, then the sprites and all derivative images can be deleted. -- Supermorff (talk) 19:01, March 19, 2013 (UTC)

I list all the credits to my sprite comics here: User:SilverPlays97/Just_Another_SNN_Comic. I have never claimed these sprites to be mine, nor modified them with the author's permission. 10:07, March 20, 2013 (UTC)

I've been trying to contact him but I was looking around MFZ and I couldn't find anything. No e-mail adresses, no other accounts, nothing.

Quick question Drones, do you know anything about the 13th issue?. That comic seems to be unavailable.

Well a sprite comic has several different steps:


 * First a border line must be made on the exact edges of the paint window. Even if your border is a pixel away from the edge, it'll show in the comic
 * After the border is down and the cels are divided up, you need backgrounds. You have to paste them and enlarge them, once again to the exact edges of the cel.
 * Then come sprites which you either rip yourself or get from a website. Deciding on which sprite you are gonna use can be vital for the comic. If nothing suits, you have to knock up your own one. ♫Tiiiiiime consuuuuuuuming♫
 * Then the speech bubbles. If your speech can't fit in the bubble, you have to erase it, resize the bubble and type it again. And again. And again, until you make it fit. If the bubbles are sticking out the edges of the comic, the comic must be resized.
 * After all of that is done, you have to go through a process called calibration: Making sure everything is the way it should be. Spell checks, proportion checks, correct use of sprites, etc.

A lot of things are involved in sprite comic making that slows the process. Let's not forget that all the comic making equipment stored on your computer will slow your internet connection -- '<font color="Crimson">Murphyshane - <font color="#00b6ee"> 熱! <font color="#C0C0C0">Don't click here '  18:32, March 27, 2013 (UTC)

A Japanese Request
Hello Slug_Drones. My name is Ultrasonic9000, and I would like to make a humble request of you.

You see, there has been some talk about what the name for Jet's fans is. However, I have found a lead on that name on Jet's profile on the webpage:

http://sonic.sega.jp/riders/

and I believe they mention the name of Jet's fans in the description for his level two attack:

<p style="text-align: center;">

The only problem is that I can't read Japanese and Google Translate is too crude. Now, I heard from from Sacor that you may know how to read japanese, so I would to ask you if you can take a look on the webpage above on Jets profile, and find out if they mention the name fo the fans in Jet's attacks with his fans, or just his fans in general
