Zoey's Third Hand
Zoey does not have a third hand on the poster, look closer. . . And I'm not gonna change it back, as you've had so many edits, and me so few.

Re: My pic
I can insert the box into your page if you want. I've been trying to figure out how to explain it but it always comes out too confusing. Imperialscouts 04:59, December 21, 2009 (UTC)

Info box under profile pic
+ == Re: My pic == - Sure. First, though, tell me your two favorite (At least one. The second is optional) of the following: L4D Survivor, L4D Infected, L4D Campaign, L4D Chapter, L4D weapon, L4D2 Weapon, L4D2 Survivor, L4D2 Infected, L4D2 Campaign, L4D2 Chapter, L4D2 Melee weapons. Then tell me what picture you would like as a profile pic. Also, tell me your Steam ID/Xbox GT, Email (Optional), and then your four favorite games (Or, at least two). --'Iron Tacoz 450 RO A R! 05:00, December 21, 2009 (UTC)

I put the outline on there, you're going to need the information above. It's pretty easy to fill in, the only part that I had trouble with was the picture. If you want to use mine, I can put it on there. Imperialscouts 05:34, December 21, 2009 (UTC)

Muchly? Anyway, no problem. Imperialscouts 21:45, December 21, 2009 (UTC)

It is an awesome pic ain't it? Tell me if you ever get an xbox live account, I got a twelve month xbl subscription card for christmas. Imperialscouts 00:26, December 26, 2009 (UTC)

Re: Oops
It's not a problem. The wiki is a community, we all work together to make sure it's taken care of. :P Jo the Marten  ( Shriek )  ಠ_ಠ  01:46, January 16, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Block
Haha, too fast for you. ;) I already did so about a second before you asked me too. Jo the Marten  ( Shriek )  ಠ_ಠ  06:35, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

Userboxes
Well, this is a blank userbox template you can customize anyway you want, but I did something different. Let's take for example the Smoker one I use:

This is the original userbox. So, instead of simply using ((Smoker Userbox)), click on "View Source" in the top left corner, there you will see the entire code, copy that up to " ".

Paste it in your user page. Now, you'll notice that near the end it says "This user likes Smokers", you can change that sentence to pretty much anything you want, in my case, I changed "likes" to "hates".

So, there you go. DeathBlade182 23:51, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

Re: User subpage
Just go to your user page, up in the URL where it has the left4dead.wikia.com etc etc, just put /pagename after your name. So http://left4dead.wikia.com/wiki/User:Nightmirage/pagename is what you want. Just replace "pagename" with whatever you want it to be called. Jo the Marten ( Shriek )  ಠ_ಠ  03:49, February 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Heh. You'll get this every now and then. Admins answering each other's questions. :P
 * It's pretty much what Jo said. See, all you have to do is make a new page called "Nightmirage/Story". You don't have to put that on your page or anything, just make a new page. It will automatically become a subpage of your userpage. And in making a new page, you can also do it how Jo said, putting in http://left4dead.wikia.com/wiki/User:Nightmirage/pagename to your URL. Good luck, and have fun with your story. I'm eager to see it. =) If you have any other questions friend, please do let me know.

Story
I read your story. I was wondering if you would be interested in my critique. And if so, where would you want to me to put it? I know there can be a discussion page on it, or if you would want it here. I'm not going to flame you, btw. Imperialscouts 05:10, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, it has been a really long time since I reviewed a story...

Basically, I quite enjoyed it. Particularly, "Francis had never met someone as grumpy as Bill Overbeck, not even in prison. Bill had never met someone has rude as Francis Palling, not even in boot camp", made me laugh. Though obviously you've never been to boot camp. I haven't either but my dad has... he's got some stories about that. I think him mopping up the showers naked was my favorite. Sorry, I'm getting off track.

ANYWAY, Louis' obvious horror at what Zoey said made me crack at smile; it fit his character quite well. Him letting Zoey sleep was also... uh... I forgot the word for it. Whatever, I enjoyed it.

Now, the slightly more negative: 1. I don't think the last names of the characters were needed. Though, that could just because I wasn't used to them, Bill's didn't jump out at me like the other's did. Y'know, because it's canon(ish?). 2. Louis doesn't see like he would 29 to me. I don't know why, he just doesn't (he's not canonically 29 is he? Then I would look like an idiot.)

That's about it. I liked it. And all of the negative stuff was completely opinionated so it doesn't matter much. Uh... tell me if you update. :) Imperialscouts 06:11, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

You may have misunderstood me about the Louis age thing. I actually imagined him younger than you had it (I'm not the greatest judge of age, though). Also, I just remembered something I was going to say: I like the groups you put them in. Bill and Francis fighting has always made me laugh. And.. well, Louis and Zoey? Just check my profile picture. Or yours, seeing as they are the same. There was something else I was going to say, but I forgot it. Again. I don't have the greatest memory. Imperialscouts 06:28, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

Lo and behold, I have returned! The world shall rejoice. You know what the problem of being a video game wiki is? People here like video games. (No duh, right?)Video Games can be time consuming. You see... my birthday was April 4th. I got two new games. Two LONG games. On top of that, our internet is harder to access now. And on top of THAT, I got a job. Sort of. Plus... I had about 215 emails in my wiki folder. The task was so daunting I didn't even want to start. Then the passing came out. So I am here. I still have about 145 emails to go though.

So, your story! Yes, right. I feel like I'm trying to take the easy way out when I say this but... my thoughts haven't changed much. It's still freakin' awesome to me. Both the interactions between Bill and Francis and Louis and Zoey make me laugh. The awkward silence bit actually got some sound out of me (I normally laugh silently). Just picturing it was enough. Ah, character interaction. My favorite thing to write. Imperialscouts 02:59, May 4, 2010 (UTC)

Lol what? No I was referring to the anonymous contributor who contributed that flashlight part, though I am uncertain of the gender. As for you, I know you're a she =P LoneWolfHBS5 18:59, March 12, 2010 (UTC)

Survivor edit
Hey, just thought I should let you know, American College students can be under 18 if they are very advanced, but I'm not going to change that edit, because you are mostly correct; the usual case is 18. --With care and happiness,  Supermutantslayer450' ROAR 22:57, March 22, 2010 (UTC)

That guy
You know who I'm talking about. Thanks for the support on Jo's page.

Oh, hey, I sent you a friend request on Xbox live. It would come from imperial1scout. I've been trying to get some friends on LIVE who are on the wiki. Imperialscouts 20:17, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

I think you can still accept friend requests when you have silver. I did anyway. You just can't do anything fun. Imperialscouts 20:23, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

Haha, I love sarcasm (not being sarcastic). Anyway, cool. btw check between your posts on the my talk page. Imperialscouts 20:36, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

You said it. No problem about the Qoute thing. You're right they deserve them too. Imperialscouts 20:42, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

hi again
Hi again erm I have a few on my account I dont know how I am putting them on or is it just someone who works here thats doing it for me.

RE: Cool People List
I deleted my old post because I thought I was pretty rude in a way. Still, thanks! I have absolutely no problems with you including me in the list. It is just that I was greatly hated by others in my school that I was surprised to suddenly be liked by someone. LoneWolfHBS5 03:23, April 6, 2010 (UTC)

Your fanfiction
Yo Nightmirage, I just read your fanfiction and it was pretty well done. The characters' personalities were kept intact and everything flowed together nicely. The Witch encounter was pretty sweet too and some parts actually made me laugh. I really love the part where Bill and Francis had a nice little arguement and was that close to splitting up. Louis meeting up with Zoey was also interesting and somewhat realistic. Overall, I like it. Only complains I can give is slight grammatical and tense errors but that can be easily overlooked. Suddenly, I felt like making my own fanfiction but I got machinimas to make. =P LoneWolfHBS5 10:46, April 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed it myself. It reads well and gives me ideas for furthering my own fiction. Although as stated above there are a few errors, I'm really not one to talk as I do believe mine is riddled with mistakes.
 * Oh, and also, I'm with you on the whole Louis/Zoey thing. ^-^ -- Five Dog  Talk Read 20:47, April 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah.. Life sure does like to do that.. ^^; -- Five Dog  Talk Read 20:52, April 6, 2010 (UTC)

I've read the update, I like it and still laughing at Bill and Francis's love-hate conversations =D. I also like the way Louis and Zoey's somewhat intimate relationship build up and the appearances of the two Specials. I totally forgot that Zoey had bruises on her face and I find it nice that your fanfic showed how she got it. Errors still exist but nothing too major. Overall, I like it. R.I.P Bill =/ LoneWolfHBS5 07:53, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Your Fanfic
Wohoo! Thanks! Tenses has always been a problem with me and my writing and other than a writer's block, that's the only problem I have. I would be doing a bit of editing before I continue because after reading it again, I found several mistakes. One paragraph was missing because I missed it while copying and pasting it =P. Still, when I did update, I will let your know =D LoneWolfHBS5 04:49, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

Updated Fanfic LoneWolfHBS5 03:21, April 11, 2010 (UTC)

Zoey's skills in using the med kit was inspired by a friend of mine who learned how to use some of the first aid stuffs through personal training with a teacher in my school at the age of 14. She once relieved a large cut I got on my knee. Considering Zoey's unique self-healing and teammate-healing animation, she might actually have some skill in it. LoneWolfHBS5 04:46, April 11, 2010 (UTC)

Updated Fanfic again. I am off to a camp which will last for a few days so I decided to make an update before I go. It was done slightly in a hurry so mistakes and rushed plots are expected LoneWolfHBS5 20:35, April 13, 2010 (UTC)

Hmm...backstory for the Survivors...I like. I had a few ideas in mind for their past. My school has opened recently though so my life is going to get in the way of my free time. Heck, even my Left 4 Dead machinimas in Youtube are on hold. I wonder, did you happen to check out any of them? They are much harder to make than the fanfiction. I won't get mad if you don't want to watch them though. Anyway, I'm looking forward to any updates on your fanfiction. =D Gotta see how Francis and Bill get along after a rocky start and Zoey and Louis's pretty intimate relationship. LoneWolfHBS5 19:40, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

Made yet another update. Sheesh sometimes I can't stop once I start typing LoneWolfHBS5 14:56, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

Earlier in my fanfic, Francis mentioned that some of his gang members were shot by soldiers. He blamed the military but what he didn't realize was that he and his gang have been breaking the strict procedures that they need to follow to ensure that they are not Infected. So, yeah Francis wanted to let the army know that he ain't happy about them shooting at him. I might elaborate a bit more on that. And, I share your feelings about Bill's death. Neccessary, but sad. LoneWolfHBS5 19:39, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

Just want to wish you luck for your finals. And thanks for the nice comments about my fanfiction. For so long in my life, I never felt so assertive. LoneWolfHBS5 12:32, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Magic spitter goo.
Despite the fact that is true. I do agree with you it doesn't really belong in the survival section. I do however find it is '''worth noting perhapse on another page. Omnivex 05:43, April 17, 2010 (UTC)'''

RE: Machinima
I play the PC version of Left 4 Dead so I guess it is pretty obvious how I was able to do so much with it. I primarily used console commands to get most of the desired effects, behaviors and scenes. To capture the scenes, I use a program called FRAPS but I did not record the sound so that I could add in my own using the game sound files. To combine all the sounds together, I used another program called Wavepad and to eventually make the full machinima, I used Windows Movie Maker. Mind you that combining the sounds were the toughest part of the machinimas. Imagine timing the sounds of an M16 shooting continuously or maybe two of them instead of one. Nightmarish indeed. Still, the end results made it all worth it so yeah, I somehow had fun doing it. Thanks for watching them.

Before you ask, I won't touch Left 4 Dead 2 because of several issues with the game. The Survivor heads don't turn, computer cannot handle, Versus now have Infected bots, too many guns, too many Special Infected, AI rarely use melee and many more. So, unless I am crazy enough to go and try a L4D2 machinima when L4D1 was hard enough, I may never touch it.

Oh and by the way, my fanfiction was updated. LoneWolfHBS5 06:04, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Uhh... Hello...?
I was looking for a snazzy, new player to do something with in Left 4 Dead on Xbox.... >.> Since i see your name in the editing section all the time, i figured i might as well take a look. I read most of your userpage and even your awesome story on how the original survivors had met. I am quite young too... Only 16.. but can you get past that...? I do say, that is some talent with words you got there. so.. moving on, i was mostly wondering if i could add you on Xbox and maybe, we could just mess around in L4D or something (usually my brothers play MW2, so that means "I'm" not playing, and when L4D is on my status, that's usually me.)
