RE:Witch Stomping
I am sorry. The same kind of thing was put up a while ago, and after tests by multiple people, no one could do it. In fact, what generally happens when you attempt this is not her death, but rather "Witch Surfing", as explained here. However, these attempts were all performed online.

That brings me to my question, were you playing on an offline co-op? If so, the death of the Witch may in fact occur instead of "Witch surfing". If this is the case, and you were playing offline, feel free to place the information back onto the page, stating that it may occur if you are offline.

I did not mean to offend you by removing it, I was simply trying to make sure that another rumour doesn't rear its head again. I hope you find that you are correct. Perhaps we can wipe the slate clean and maintain a nice mutual friendship from here on in?

 * Thank you. I look forward to seeing your results. :) -- Five Dog ( Talk ){ Updates } 10:04, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * They probably did patch it, because I remember seeing something like that a while back. And yes, I agree, that is rather odd. -- Five Dog ( Talk ){ Updates } 10:17, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

You are officially awesome because you like Ted Backman, he inspired me to study to be a concept artist. :D --Crowbar 22:20, September 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * wait.... you want to be a concept artist, SPECIFICALLY at Valve?! (mutters) She must be stalking me) So that would make you a Stalker not a Hunter..... unless you're a FARM!!!! --Crowbar 02:53, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

Er...
I'm just kinda wondering what the sense in removing the link to Left 4 Dead on the Valve page is. Right now it's a dead end, no internal links save for what's on the sidebar. Which link are you referring to when you say it's at the top of the page? :0  Yamstis  T / C 17:49, September 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, s'fine. I wasn't offended or nothin'.  Just looking for clarification.  Cheers. :)  Yamstis  T / C  17:55, September 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * Also sorry if my note came off as a little mechanical, I work in tech support and get in trouble if my communications carry even the slightest hint that I might be a human being. It's a hard habit to break. D:  Yamstis  T / C  18:00, September 20, 2009 (UTC)

I'm gonna bug you one more time because I've been trying to do something and I'm stumped. I wanna work these four pages into their respective campaign articles, 'cause they're pretty much pointless otherwise. I just can't find a way to do it. They're too insignificant to have a For this campaign's theme, see (foo) at the top of the page, and a new cell in the infobox seems like a terrible idea. Any input?

Left 4 Dead 2 weapons tier
Hey i think the weapons in l4d2, now you have to find it like the melee weapons. If you pay attention, they ramdomly find granade launchers, ak-47 and other stuff. Aratinga A., 17:00, 24 September 2009, (UTC)

Re: Signature
THANK YOU! i asked Five Dog and Stigma about that a while ago, before you became an admin, and didnt even think about asking you. thank you so much, Jo. Supermutantslayer450

waai, the sig isnt working. i setit to be like this:User:Supermutantslayer450|Supermutantslayer450]] User Talk: Supermutantslayer450|ROAR]] but when i actually sign my posts, it shows all the HTML stuff, meaning it shows this:  (has qoutation marks and no space). it shows the stuff i typed, but not the stuff i actually meant it to show. can you help me with that? User Talk: Supermutantslayer450

thanks. i was on the verge of giving up. you are very helpful. Supermutantslayer450

Okay, im annoyed. i typed what i wanted, pressed save page, and it said "Invalid raw signature. Check HTML tags." am i doing anything wrong? i did exactly what you said i should, and it isnt working. do you think my computer sucks, maybe? at the moment, i give up unless i cant find a solution.

Hello, Jo. As my friend, I would like to ask you if you have ever read either the Demonata series or Cirque du Freak series, both by Darren Shan. I have recently created the the Shanepedia, the wiki for the Darren Shan books. At the moment, I am the only person to contribute anything, and I need some help. So, if you have read those, and can find the time, I would really appreciate any help you could provide. The web adress is Shanepedia.wikia.com.

Packages
Hi, I'm new in L4D wiki, but I'am familiar with the wikia system since I worked for the Half-Life wiki, so should we write articles about packages that contains L4D and L4D2? B-MAN 16:48, October 3, 2009 (UTC) Well actually there is only one package wich contains both L4D and L4D2. Left 4 Dead Bundle, allthough you're right.B-MAN 17:25, October 4, 2009 (UTC)

Left 4 Dead 2 Tour Continues Tokyo Game Show
Next public showing will be at the London Game Show where Valve will be showing the as-of-yet unannounced new game mode. We really should announce that soon… We can give you one hint, the game is 4 v 4. So get your team together and join us in London on October 29th or 30th.--Optimus467 23:10, October 3, 2009 (UTC)

Changing the Charger paragraph
Thanks for the grammar update. The paragraph previously said that it only slams into people, but it never mentioned picking them up like it does now. I wanted to get that across to other people, but using the correct grammar was something I was concerned of.

Thanks
Thanks again for the grammar check.

Yeah, constant editing.. sorry.
Sorry, I just usually see something I've done "AFTER" I've posted it. But I accidently added a new section somewhere, and I didn't mean to. Plus my edits are usually the re-editing of something I thought looked good until I looked at it more closely. I'm kinda doing this out of fun for myself. I'm totally psyched for L4D2 and have been constantly looking for updates anywhere.

Caca
I think caca means animal manure or something. But I don't see how that comes into play in Left 4 Dead. But it might have to do with the barn in Death Toll.

I do agree with you because I never heard him say it either. But I thought it was one of his phrases that he's just haven't said yet, because there's a lot of dialouge in Left 4 Dead. Also, because it was related to the barn in Blood Harvest. But still, I do agree with you. --Optimus467&#91; Autobot &#93;♠♣&#91;☺&#93;—←→ 00:53, October 14, 2009 (UTC)

you stole my edit!
AW! you stole my edit! :P I was going to edit the bugs, but i watched the video showing the turret glitch, and when i came back, you edited it already! Argh :)--Supermutantslayer 450  RO A  R! 00:55, October 14, 2009 (UTC)

Oh just to let you know, I have an Xbox360 and Francis might have said that he hates caca, probably the forth or fifth time I played Blood Harvest. But I might be thinking of something else, that was a basically a year ago. --Optimus467&#91; Autobot &#93;♠♣&#91;☺&#93;—←→ 01:00, October 14, 2009 (UTC)

Ringtone???
What ring tone are you talking about???

Where are they hearing this stuff from. Besides, what does a ringtone have to do with L4D2? Honestly. So much vandalism these days. ;)

CS:S Weapons
I'm not sure if you know this, but weapons from Counter-Strike: Source are going to be in the German version of L4D2. Should we make pages for those weapons? They've already released a list of all the CS:S weapons that are going to be in the game. Darkman 4 03:22, October 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, just wanted to check. Darkman 4 05:03, October 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * K, I added a brief section about the CS:S weapons in the "Other Weapons" section. Darkman 4 05:29, October 24, 2009 (UTC)

Listen I got something that could confirm Darkman's Theory. I started to download The L4D2 Demo, when I opened the weapons sound folder I saw the following folder names : B-MAN 13:23, October 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * awp
 * scout
 * sg552
 * hegrenade
 * knife
 * The hegrenade is the Pipebomb. Darkman 4 13:27, October 24, 2009 (UTC)

There is another folder named "Pipebomb" B-MAN 13:28, October 24, 2009 (UTC)

L4D2 Map images
http://84.45.84.166/l4d2/extracted/root/materials/vgui/maps/ Its all of the files extracted from the L4D2 demo .vpk files. Darkman 4 05:25, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

L4D1 in L4D2
This isn't confirmed, but I HIGHLY suspect that L4D1 campaigns will be playable in L4D2. For one thing, the new weapons' script files have ""NewInL4D2"				"1"" in their weapon scripts, which is unusual, unless they were trying to let L4D2 players play with L4D1 players, since L4D1 doesn't have the new weapons. There's also a texture called "left4dead1.vtf" in the page I posted, which I'm guessing appears for someone that has L4D1 when they're choosing a map in the lobby. Darkman 4 05:34, October 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * I think that they're going to let you play in L4D1 servers if you have L4D1. This is a complete guess, but I'm assuming that playing L4D1 campaigns in L4D2 will be exactly like playing them in L4D1. Darkman 4 05:51, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

Inverted weapon HUD images
I uploaded inverted versions of the HUD's weapon icons. I was gonna rework the weapon navbox and put them in myself, but since you're reworking all of the navboxes, you can use them instead. Darkman 4 03:23, November 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * Looks good! I knew uploading those pictures was a good idea. Darkman 4 03:55, November 3, 2009 (UTC)

Teh uglies
I was editing Common.css and I thought I was messing things up, but it's you, in Monaco! I'm not trying to be rude, but please don't make it too ugly, as I did my best to make it look nice. (I think it looks ugly right now.) (Again, not trying to be rude. :]) takua108 04:01, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

Green is unreadable
Also there's some alignment issues, but basically from a web design standpoint black text on a green background is very, very bad. Just go to wikia.com and take a look at some of the other wikis, and how they did some things with colors.

(Also, I forgot how to reply to messages properly :X)

Since Left 4 Dead (2) is on the Wikia front page, why don't you just revert the default skin to what it was, and create your own skin to fiddle with it for the time being? (You **can** do that, right? I think...)

But yeah, you're right, white is boring. I'll think about how to make it look better. Also, I do like the background image thing, except that it seems to be messing up the logo. I do think that part is an improvement.

I'm really afraid that I'm coming across as rude, and I don't mean to be! :) takua108 04:13, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

I think if we just come up with a color palette ahead of time (background and text colors), it should be fine. :) takua108 04:27, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

RE: Tank and the SAFE ROOM DOOR
You were wrong to delete my paragraph in the Tank article. It is quite trivial to stop the tank from breaking down the beginning safe room door, even after it has been opened and closed. This is a tactic my team and I use all the time on Expert, and I'm disappointed that you don't want to share this proven tactic with the community at large. The ironic part is, the paragraph in question mentioned this very tactic that you call "tedious" BEFORE I added to it. With your most recent change, made this morning, it now simply states, "The tank can break down the beginning safe room door": an absolutely useless piece of information that entirely omits the proven strategy for preventing this from happening. For more details, refer to the Discussion page for the Tank. Multiple authors have commented on how they've proven this tactic there.

This is an excellent example of why 12-year-old girls should not be admins on a site dedicated to a mature-rated game. Please resign from your post as an admin immediately, and leave it to the adults who actually play the game in question to turn this site into a comprehensive, detailed guide on Left 4 Dead. Much appreciated. Thanks.

P.S. And if you wouldn't mind showing this to your superior, so that he can make a definitive decision regarding your incompetence as an admin, I would be ever so grateful.
 * BTW, you don't even need to crouch. I've thrown myself in front of the door multiple times and it's been able to stop him. Darkman 4 02:51, November 11, 2009 (UTC)
 * Huh, that's weird. I guess I'll crouch from now on to make sure that he won't break the door for sure. Darkman 4 03:16, November 11, 2009 (UTC)

"Incompetence as an admin"..? That's SMART to say. >_> Jo probably makes a better admin than you would be. So...shush yourself. -L4Dex

Hey man, can you help me to move the page "The Crash Site" to "The Swamp"? I mean that there is already a page called The Swamp... I have L4D2 and using anything but the official names would be a bit weird. So here we go.
