PLS Question

Hi DiZ, I am trying to put together a game article for the PLS but since I know nothing about programming I'm stuck. I have played around with the zork templates in my sandbox, but have hit two problems:

1) I don't know how to change the background color -- all I need are the ROYGBIV colors. I see where the 6-digit codes are, but I guess I need a list.

Wait, wait...the rocket scientist has figured out that it is possible to google a list of HTML color codes...done and done!

2) When I try to copy the zorkheader template code over to my userpage and edit it to take out things like the Zork title, and the bits where it automatically creates an entry on the zork templates category, I have a problem when I go to another userpage, call up the template, and then try using (say) the zorkcmd template. The command writing apppears under the header template, not inside it. What am I missing? (Still need help with this one)

If you can spare some time to help, that would be great. Thx--Shandon 16:30, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Shandon, believe it or not, I'm actually not that good with this formatting stuff, but I'll try to help as best I can. I'm not sure I understand your problem completely, but it'd be helpful if you could show me an example of what happens when you try, so I can see it for myself. Then I can give you some advice. --Señor DiZtheGreat  CUN AOTM ( Worship me!) (Praise me!) (Join me!) AMEN! 19:25, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

OK...on user:Shandon/sandbox I have the copied-over & edited code from the 'zorkheader' template.

and on user:Shandon/Sandbox1 I have a trial page that uses the 'user:Shandon/sandbox' header. If you click on 'edit', you'll see I have a 'zorkcmd' command line template in use. What should happen is that the text appears in the black area of the header template. But instead, it is appearing (in white, so invisible) underneath the header template, where you see the '>'. So my question is, what am I doing wrong? BTW I asked you because you appeared in the game:zork history list. Thanks!

I tried to fix it, but I don't know if it's what you wanted. My advice: don't use the user:Shandon/sandbox header, just stick to the Zorkcmd template. If this doesn't work, try asking someone with a little more knowledge on this kind of thing, like an admin. What exactly are you trying to do in the first place? --Señor DiZtheGreat  CUN AOTM ( Worship me!) (Praise me!) (Join me!) AMEN! 19:47, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Well it is the header template that is the trouble. It says 'Zork' and I don't want that. But I do want the colored screen screen, the layout and the moves/score fields. The 'zorkcmd' template is working properly, but my version of the header template is not. Thanks for having a look anyways...--Shandon 20:37, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

I'll see waht I can do now.... --Señor DiZtheGreat  CUN AOTM ( Worship me!) (Praise me!) (Join me!) AMEN! 20:40, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

It still says "Zork" on the title, so I'll try and fix that, but here's what you do for the header: everytime you put in the name (Billy Ray), the score, and number of moves, use 1=, 2=, 3= (look at the edit tab). The problem with the title probably lies within the actual template you're using, the Sandbox1 thing. --Señor DiZtheGreat  CUN AOTM ( Worship me!) (Praise me!) (Join me!) AMEN! 20:46, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

You might want to try copying the Zorkcmd template and editing it so it doesn't include the article in category:Zork, like you did with the Zorkheader template. Then use it in Sandbox1 in place of the original template. Just a suggestion, don't know if it'll actually help. --Señor DiZtheGreat  CUN AOTM ( Worship me!) (Praise me!) (Join me!) AMEN! 20:56, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

DiZian Religion

DiZizm is now a minor religion. Marshal Uncyclopedian! Talk to me!

As honored as I am, I must renounce position as idol of the DiZizt religion. Instead, take me as a minor deity, a passing footnote, a mere sect, of the great divinity, power, and truth, that is Pudgism, and make my church one of obediance to me, and glory to the pudge, for I am its messenger, its Messiah, its voice to the Earth and to Uncyclopedia. I am the Chosen One, Uncyclopeidan, I am the Chosen One. ALL HAIL THE WEASELPUDGE! (and DiZ...whoo!) --Señor DiZtheGreat  CUN AOTM ( Worship me!) (Praise me!) (Join me!)

PLS Question II

Hi DiZ, what do you think of this? Thx--Shandon 02:18, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Very nice, I could tell you have a knack for unbooks. I would really like to see a bit more passion in Mr.Daniel's remarks (Mr.Daniel, right?), for I was left ambiguous as to his position at certain times, plus it'll make for an even funnier rant. But I could tell you put a lot of work into this. Nowgomeakemeproudorsohelpmeiwillburnyou! --Señor DiZtheGreat  CUN AOTM ( Worship me!) (Praise me!) (Join me!) AMEN! 20:11, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Expired wip

Hello there. The wip tag on your page, "HowTo:Write A Generic Uncyclopedia Article" expired, and so I have moved to your userspace for now. It is now at User:DiZ/HowTo:Write A Generic Uncyclopedia Article. Feel free to move it back when it is finished. Have a nice day! • Spang • ☃ • talk • 04:14, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanx, I really just got lazy with that article. I don't even know if I'll ever finish it. The first example took too long anyways. Well, whatever....I'm gonna go write another article I'll probably never finish. --Señor DiZtheGreat  CUN AOTM ( Worship me!) (Praise me!) (Join me!) AMEN! 19:57, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations

Congrats, Mr. Diz. You have received this month's shiny new UnBooks Author of the Month Award which you get to keep for a month. Just try not to wear it out for the next winner, eh?

As an added super bonus, you also currently have both the Featured UnBook and Featured UnJunior Book on the UnBooks main page, so you have doubly earned the award for this month. Enjoy! -- Hindleyite 11:53, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Bucket of Piss

You have won the coveted Bucket of Piss award. I would congratulate you, but this isn't anything to be proud about.

Ouroboros

What happened to Ouroboros? did it get deleted or can I just not spell it. It is the only funny article I ever read on Un. --Darkfred 16:33, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

First off, thank you! Secondly: sorry, buddy: you CAN spell, cuz Ouroboros has been DELETED. I can still salvage it and keep it on a user subpage, but it won't technically be a real article. I'm still in shock on how Ouroboros could be deleted, yet something like Euroipods was kept, featured even...shameful, really. --Señor DiZtheGreat  CUN AOTM ( Worship me!) (Praise me!) (Join me!) AMEN! 20:25, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Wait a minute, I found it right here: User:Darkfred/Ouroborus. --Señor DiZtheGreat  CUN AOTM ( Worship me!) (Praise me!) (Join me!) AMEN! 20:32, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Yeah I was complaining on mhaille's user page about it and the seeming movement to preserve pointless drivel over funny bits, and it magically appeared in my userspace. Perhaps I should create a userspace shrine to pages which are deleted yet funny. --Darkfred 22:00, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

You do that, and I'll write another pointless article you can add to your page once it's deleted. I was kinda surprised, seeing as Fish Within A Fish Within A Fish Within A Fish Within Another Fish was much worse, yet survived the VFH. I guess the admins cannot handle the awesome, totalitarian power which is, er...was, Ouroboros. --Señor DiZtheGreat  CUN AOTM ( Worship me!) (Praise me!) (Join me!) AMEN! 18:47, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Well now 2 of my articles were huffed. Despite winning AFD *sigh*. THats what i get for rewriting articles that were voted rewrite, but an admin didn't like. Perhaps I can convince Mhaille to leave me a copy for the shrine, self nomination :) --Darkfred 04:10, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

User:Darkfred/Shrine of Deletion

Hope this grows, perhaps you can contribute again :) --Darkfred 04:23, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Maybe if I'm struck by a flash of inspiration. I'll check my To-Do List and see if anything catches my eye for now. As for your huffed articles, I dunno what to say, Ouroboros was my first deletion. Just try not to write similar articles, see if the admins will spare them. Begging always works. ;-) --Señor DiZtheGreat  CUN AOTM ( Worship me!) (Praise me!) (Join me!) AMEN! 14:29, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Vote or Die!

That picture is a picture of you voting for Sir Cornbread. That's right. He's nominated for Uncyclopedian of the Year.

Come on. You know you want to. If not...you really don't wanna' know what will happen. --EMC ^[TALK] 01:13, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Sand nipper on VFD

I dunno if we'll win this one. As I said in my comments for "keep", its meaning is in the eye of the beholder. Admittedly SN is missing something...what it is, I don't know. I only write satire myself when I'm pissed off at something, this isn't one of those things; so I'm drawing a blank on how to improve the page. Good luck, anyway.--Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 20:33, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

You might want to put a copy under your userpage...just in case. With tweaking it might be less divisive.--Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 22:18, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Yo dood

Are the boobs big enough?

Well I have been scribbling for a bit, and I've come up with a proto-proto-toto-type version, not my best work, but just to get an insy winsy idea (by the way if you don't know what I'm talking about I mean the Uncyclopedia-tan thingee...) and can you like give me the link to the WP one again? Because I wiped my browser history while I was spring cleaning (yes point and laugh).

The big ass version is at my Projectage page, including the Uncyclopedian's front for the destruction of Sanyo.. INLIST!!!

NeoZidane CUNT Headbutt extraordinaire ______соединяйтесь! 19:53, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Hmm...that's quite good. Better than what I could do at least. But if I may comment, the boobs are not nearly large enough. Also, this is an Uncycloepdia-tan, you might want to add some stuff that relates to Uncyclopedia, like potato chip shoulderpads or something, i dunno. As for the link, here ya go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipe-tan . This one is really more child-like, but I don't know if that's true for all these things. In any case, nice job. I'd draw and upload one too, if I had a scanner. Unfortunately, I don't...<Pout> --Señor DiZtheGreat  CUN AOTM ( Worship me!) (Praise me!) (Join me!) AMEN! 21:07, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Hmm

Yes I need to work a costume out, something that holds the values of our Wikia (if there is any) and yes I do think I was way too subtle with the melons, I'll do some extreme plastic surgery, about the age, basically the tan is a personalization of the thing it represents, although if you want to be totally accurate Uncyclopedia would be a pile of shit covered in chocolate sauce - it all looks the same but some tiny bits are worth eating- and I do believe that as age wise goes, Uncyc would be a teenager, about 16-17, since yes, some parts are mature, but there are still attacks of madness and inconsistency. That and also teenagers are the most populous users here.

How the hell could I have talked that long about nothing?? I'm confused. Anyway, the proto-proto-to type is underway...

You do that, and in the mean time, i'll enjoy this fresh, tasty calzone. < /me devours calzone quickly and with much vigor/vigour> No seriously, I'll try to eek out something on MS Paint. --Señor DiZtheGreat  CUN AOTM ( Worship me!) (Praise me!) (Join me!) AMEN! 20:43, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi! Um... dunno why I did this, but here it is anyway. It's just an idea, don't have to do anything with it, but if you fancy having a look, it's there. This is just a first draft - I'll upload a colour version soon and a full length one.  :)
I just felt she needed a little more mischief about her, rather than being all-out friendly and nice (being an uncyc mascot after all). Hope no intrusion or anything... :*D -- 19:26, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

That's great, flyingfeline, the color version's gonna be even better I bet (P.S.: I can see your sig's font better now that i got this new Windstream thing on my computer, looks a lot beter than i presumed.) --Señor DiZtheGreat  CUN AOTM ( Worship me!) (Praise me!) (Join me!) AMEN! 19:03, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Ah, cool, Windstream thing. Good good.  :)
But... no constructive criticism? No insults biting wit? I need to know what you think about it, so I can go and cry fix it up/change it. I wanna help! -- 22:22, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

I would like to see more of an Uncyclopedia theme, like a potato hat or talking grue on her shoulder or something...There, does that make you cry? If not, pretend I murdered your family or something because i just did... --Señor DiZtheGreat  CUN AOTM ( Worship me!) (Praise me!) (Join me!) AMEN! 16:35, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Oi, she has Uncyc-potato epaulettes! Hmm, maybe that's not enough though... The full-length version has a little Uncyc-tag thingy on her jacket and patches with U on them on her trousers (don't worry, not cheesy - did it in a way that fits with the theme). Liking the grue idea, though - maybe peering round her leg? Or biting her ankle, rather. Heheh.
DaBlade came up with a possible name - Kihu-tan? Like KIttenHUffing. Uncyclo-tan doesn't quite have the same ring as Wikipe-tan... -- 16:52, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

I dunno, we are a parody of Wikipedia after all, so the name should really be a parallel to Wikipedia's. If not, Kihu-tan's nice. Er, I mean--you suck! (Are you crying yet?) Please cry, your tears taste like candy --Señor DiZtheGreat  CUN AOTM ( Worship me!) (Praise me!) (Join me!) AMEN! 16:59, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

.*fights tears*. But seriously, any suggestions for the name? Uncyclo-tan sounds like a boy's name (ends in o)... I'm not sure. I uploaded the full-length one, but trying it out on IRC they didn't like it so much. Suggestions included:

• Glass of orange juice (concentrated orange jews)
• Needs to be meaner - smiling too much
• Make Uncyc apparel more obvious (potato epaulettes, tag etc)

What do you think? -- 22:33, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

XD Is that a "ban stick"? Nice. But yeah, she could be meaner; make her look as if she's just dying to crush you, yet still retain that "anime cuteness." The orange juice and grue thing is a good idea, but try to make it "flow", she shouldn't look too sporadic and random (though this is Uncyclopedia...) Overall, it looks really good. --Señor DiZtheGreat  CUN AOTM ( Worship me!) (Praise me!) (Join me!) AMEN! 14:58, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Hehee! You got it exactly. *bounces up and down in chair* Know what you mean about the bittyness of it, though - I've done the grue and it looks good, but I'm having worries about adding the orange juice. Maybe I'll scan it in as a kind of backup copy first...
I'll try doing things with the eyebrows + mouth etc, too, to get that expression.  :)))) -- 10:06, 17 October 2006 (PDT)
----- Okay, I uploaded the grue version, see what you think of it - I also tweaked the expression a bit, though I'm not sure if it made much difference.
Hmm, in retrospect that grue looks like it's climbing her ankle. That was not the desired effect. Damn. -- 07:43, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Um, not sure how to say this, but uh...the link don't work. Is there another page I can see the picture? --Señor DiZtheGreat  CUN AOTM ( Worship me!) (Praise me!) (Join me!) AMEN! 14:27, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Aaagh, forgot to add the .jpg at the end. Fixed now. -- 19:27, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Ah, better. But the grue should really be sinking its teeth into her leg, no? And yeah, I think it could do without the orange juice. Since it's a pun of "concentrated orange jews", you could just put an orange Star of David on her jacket or something (no, not in the Nazi way!). Don't know if this will actually make it as a mascot, but we can sure as hell try. Oh, she'd look even better with a haircut like Oscar Wilde's. --Señor DiZtheGreat  CUN AOTM ( Worship me!) (Praise me!) (Join me!) AMEN! 21:23, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Igh! *Googles "oscar wilde haircut". Okay, I'll see what I can do with the grue. Not sure if anyone would get the Star of David, though... perhaps it's going a little far off the point.
Hope it makes it! People seemed quite enthusiastic, though there were a few people who were against it. Mind you, look how many people were against it on Wikipedia - they still ended up with one. I dunno... -- 22:12, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, but the reasons they gave for the Wikipedia mascot are totally unrelated to Uncyclopedia:

*The [Wikipedia] logo already beautifully conveys the earth itself, and diverse human cultures around the globe, as the "mascot" of Wikipedia. A different mascot would compete with the logo and dilute the value of the Wikipedia brand. 
*All, or nearly all, open-source mascots look very amateurish. So do all the mascots below as of this writing. Granted, [Wikipedia] editors are mostly amateurs, but openly embracing amateur content decreases the value of the brand. Some editors (including me) would be less likely to contribute to the project if we're going to brand ourselves with a mascot that shouts "amateurville". 

Uncyclopedia, unlike Wikipedia, doesn't put itself up on a pedestal, so to say. Uncyc practically feeds off its own mediocracy (is that a word?). So any dilution to value would just be an aid. Secondly, we are all amateurs. So an amateur-looking mascot would be just as fitting, if not more than a professional-looking one. --Señor DiZtheGreat  CUN AOTM ( Worship me!) (Praise me!) (Join me!) AMEN! 14:18, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Truetrue. But I wasn't saying I agreed with the reasons given (except maybe a little about not really needing one..) I just think that maybe what we actually need is a real parody of the Wikipedia one - like how Wikipedia has this angelic looking little kid, we could have a right little spoilt brat or something. It might be quite funny... Maybe we need to rethink this a bit. I'm not sure. -- 13:32, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Farking hell, somebody should have at least let me in on this conversation, now I have gone and put a new one on, jeezus, anyway, I do agree, to parodifimise WP, it needs to be some evil looking version, probably dressed like some hooker or hell knows what (speaking of hell, could give her devil horns), damn you all, you isolate me again, and I'll asplode your residences with a packet of chewing gum and a spork... you know I can...
