Don't use blasphemous expletives on this page. I can't stop you from using them elsewhere on the wiki, but please refrain from doing so here.

Lol
The "Bad map projection- South America" is hilarious. Also this is Tal'dorei learning how to use Talk pages. Tal&#39;dorei (talk) 12:56, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Ah, yes, xkcd has released quite a few of those, but that one's my favourites. Another is a Mercator projection but flipped and rotated so that Madagascar suffers the exaggeration usually given to Greeland. Tolkienfan (talk|"contribs") 22:20, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Promotion
I see you find it surprising I promoted you to bureaucrat (and all those other roles) so quickly. Since you're a comment admin and did so much with the last wiki, I figured you should be able to moderate the wiki if you wanted/had to (especially since more new players will join this iteration) and have access to settings in case you needed them. Also, I found out how to create new ranks/user groups and created one called "emperor" for the admins that can actually demote bureaucrats, so I'm going to be more generous with giving bureaucrat permissions to trusted users given it's now revocable. --Fictia (talk) 00:07, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

I see. It's true that reversible decisions carry a whole lot less gravity. Also in the other wiki it's very possible that I used admin/bureaucrat capabilities all the time but failed to realise that only admins and bureaucrats could use them. I'm not complaining about having wiki powers, though, because I like the idea of being able to use them even if I never do.

Also, I'm slightly surprised to see you have not yet reconfigured your signature to direct other users to the rickroll page yet. Tolkienfan (talk) 00:15, 30 April 2022 (UTC)


 * They indeed do, which is why I'll let more trusted people be bureaucrats. I can't know if you used your admin/bureaucrat powers on the CCRP II wiki, but for me it makes a tremendous difference so it's quite possible you did, and if you did have to use them at least now you can. Thanks for reminding me to "fix" my signature! --Fictia (talk|"contribs") 10:50, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

Hmm, yes. I don't know how many other CCRP members will thank me for that suggestion... Tolkienfan (talk) 08:43, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

Willingly. Details on the Scratch project. Tolkienfan (talk) 23:10, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

The Second Confession
I must say the new confession here shocks me, given you basically held a ton of power in early CCRP II. I'm starting to wonder if you're secretly the majority of the Scratch Discworld community, lol. --Fictia (talk|"contribs") 22:09, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

One of the reasons why I quit when I did in the CCRPII (and only rejoined on this account) was because I felt a bit guilty about having two fairly powerful accounts in the RP with nobody knowing they were both me. I'm not the majority of the Discworld community (which seems to mostly be people who have left Scratch), although I do have a fair number of Discworld namesnipes and they're probably the ones you've seen around. The full list is: Granny_Weatherwax, Nanny_Ogg, Magrat-Garlick, Agnes_Nitt, Perdita_X_Dream, Shawn_Ogg, Verence_II_Of_Lancre, Ptraci, AdoraBelleDearheart, Pump-19, Bill_Door, Grim-Squeaker, and Alberto-Malich, and Constable-Angua until that account was elevated to a full secret alt. Tolkienfan (talk) 23:58, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Wait, you are Ptraci? Wow. I'm amazed I never figured that out (your manner of speech generally stays the same throughout your alts). Then again, I only checked that account exactly once. But still - that's rather impressive. -BellatriX (talk) 23:07, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
