User talk:Jo The Marten

Archive 1 | Archive 2 | F.A.Q.

http://i442.photobucket.com/albums/qq150/Jo_The_Marten/cs_office_unlimited_oc0000-1.jpg Our professionally trained Hunters work around the clock, answering your many questions. Welcome to my talk page! Please feel free to post questions you might have here! Keep in mind, I'm not constantly on the Wiki, so it may take a few minutes to a few hours for me to respond. Also don't be surprised if another admin sees your post and responds to it before I do. We often go around to each other's talk pages to make sure everyone who has a question is satisfied in a timely manner. Here are some guidelines I like to see in comments to me:

Before anyone asks, the Userboxes can be found HERE! So please stop asking!

1. Readable

I understand not everyone spoke English as their first language, and that's fine. As long as it's readable and n0+ lyek dis foo' you'll be fine. =)

2. Mature

This is a Wiki. Members, especially admins, will edit and delete posts without mercy. If you're concerned about an edit I might have made, please tell me why you feel this way and persuade me. Do not come on here and complain like a 6 year old. Chances are that'll only get you blocked.

3. Sign your name

I can't tell you how tedious it is to go up to my Talk Page History and have to search for whoever sent a message. Just sign your posts and at least I'll know what page to go to if you don't already have a link to your page in your sig.

Don't forget to check my F.A.Q. page and see if I might have already answered your question.

Thanks, and I look forward to your questions and comments! =) Jo the Marten  ( Shriek )  ಠ_ಠ  19:09, December 16, 2009 (UTC)

Re:Re
Animation exist in the models. Check it out. B-MAN 17:38, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

hey jo nice seeing you again after bein off the wiki for so long, i found you a nice gift, I managed to find a leaked The Passing poster that was secretly released when they put out the teasers. :D --†hê98¹³ 23:40, February 13, 2010 (UTC)

and to ruin my fun i get beaten to the punch >.>

i agree, and i am glad that they changed the fallen survivor gameplay, because the old ver of it implodes into fire where it stands if killed, the newer ver drops ammo,medkits guns and DOESNT implode, plus it runs away from survivors so they have to chase it if they want the prize

l4d3?
seriously, l4d2 is probably the best ultiplayer experience you can have with friends, much better than call of duty!

i was wondering wether you knew anything about l4d3, or if there is one.

any info is truly appreciated. - drake lexus

My RfA
Just to let you know, I have made another RfA, in case you wanted to comment in some way. :)--With care and happiness, Supermutantslayer450' ROAR 02:57, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

My biggest question about DLC
Hi! Do you need Xbox Live to download a DLC in Xbox 360?

yes you will need xbox live because you get it of the xbox marketplace Lee2win 11:26, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

Link Error
Just thought I would let you know the first link(User boxes can be found here!)on your new Personalizing your user page doesn't link correctly. Awesome stuff in that article btw. --JiNX Bloodfang 07:04, February 16, 2010 (UTC)

Recurring Locations
Hi Jo. Just a quick question. I was considering adding some store names to the Dead Center Mall page, like the recurring locations of "Taco Bucket" and "Koppel's". Wanted to see what you thought before I put a bunch of time into it if it was just going to be deleted. Didn't know if you admins would consider that superfluous. If you do that's totally cool, just let me know! Thanks!Nightmirage 20:41, February 18, 2010 (UTC)Nightmirage

Untrue
In the silenced submachine gun, it says, "In real life, silencers take away power and range..." This is not a big issue, but I gone through countless games like this when silencing weapons takes damage away, I find that untrue that a bullet is a bullet, and silencers do not make bullets go any slower. But I know this is a Left 4 Dead Wiki and, it has no purpose to this website, and you may not care, and zombies will be ripped to shreds with any weapon. I find that a bullet fired from a gun at 5,000 ft. per second, even if it has a silencer will go through you. Im just tired of everyone believing that stupid allogation*. But what of it... no one else cares, its not a big deal I just what to know everyone's belief in this.

P.S. I like your home page, nice work. RagingMutant 20:30, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

WARNING - Ignore this, my brother is an ass.

Re: Untrue (Bullet Damage)
Though my brother brings up a good question that I hate in other games. Do you think that silencers accually take damage away in real life? RagingMutant 20:40, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

Bad Posts
Jo, sorry about the two bad first posts I made =P. My eyes can be deceiving at times and from the first time I play, I always thought Louis was tall. And about the Smoker's tongue, it appeared brown in the dark but now I believe my color-blindness had gotten me.LoneWolfHBS5 04:26, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

Unused or Rare animation
Jo, have you seen this animation before? I once saw it in the SDK and I thought it was unused but it happened to me while messing around with noclip and got myself snatched by a Smoker.LoneWolfHBS5 17:10, February 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Don't you pretty much go into that stance when a smoker grabs you anyway? >.> --Legofan94 17:12, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah but Zoey was standing up and not being pulled as usual and notice that the red spotlight is there and nothing's behind her. I also took damage from that. LoneWolfHBS5 17:17, February 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * You said you were in noclip? Thats a classic outcome. Smokers can still grab you in noclip I think, but because your in no clip, you instantly get restrained, instead of getting dragged. I think that must be how it happened. -- Five Dog  Talk Read 17:20, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

I always get snatched when a Smoker is around, even in noclip XD. Usually the typical drag animation plays but I think you're right. I guess this is a rare instance where this animation plays instead of the others. LoneWolfHBS5 17:24, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

Ive also seen it happen when a boomer explodes near a survivor gettin pulled. DeathMarineEK

Steam userpage link
I don't your link to your steam user page is accurate, cause ive tried typing in search and clicking the link and you dont show up though i have found venatorphile. GeneralOwnage55 19:04, February 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * so that was you! i thought it was someone else lol! sorry for the confusion. GeneralOwnage55 19:14, February 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Just to let you know, this entire weal (and every other weekend) im free from around 3pm to 6pm, meaning if you want to we could kick ass in l4d multiplayer. that is, if your not busy. GeneralOwnage55 19:19, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

Ellis and Zoey?
Is Ellis really gonna fall for Zoey in The Passing? Really? Well, I cant argue with Valve for that but the problem is...its just not right. It would be kinda distracting if this happen not to mention a little dissapointing for all those Ellis fans out there. Please,please,please see to this immediately,Valve. Thanks!

Old Survivors in The Passing?
Will we play as the Old Survivors in The Passing, because all I see is play as the New Survivors? Plus, forgot* my last comment it was dumb and post me a link to the main trailer of The Passing. Thanks RagingMutant 03:34, February 24, 2010 (UTC)

No,you won't.In the Finale they defend you,but other than that, nope.

re: stop
Oh. Hadn't seen the edit to the infobox, and hadn't seen any edits on the Infectedc pages, so I never would have guessed. --With care and happiness, Supermutantslayer450' ROAR 23:16, February 24, 2010 (UTC)

One of the developers said that 8 player coop was a possibility, but there would'nt be 8v8 verses. DeathMarineEK

Image in the signature.
Well, I created a little image for my signature (honestly, I saw yours, and I wanted one, they're awesome! :3 ). But I've got a problem, I made the signature using the /Signature page, then copying the code and put it into the preferences/signature. I used HTML code, and then uploaded the little image. The problem is that when I post something and leave my signature I leave a new image in the place I posted, making that the little image link to ALL the places I leave my signature. How can I fix that? Thank you!  LaZa  23:03, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

Box ad on main page
Hi Jo. Wikia will be activating the 300x250 box ad on the main page any day now, but before that happens, I wanted to slightly modify the main page formatting (add  tags) so that the box ad won't push all the content down. Since you guys have that big Welcome area at the top, the simplest way to modify the page is to use the column tags just on that section. View the test page I made to see what it'll look like. Essentially, the only difference will be that the Welcome section will be "squeezed" to allow room for the extra ad. Everything else on the page will appear exactly the same. I wanted to run it by you first, so please reply on my talk page with any comments/questions you have after reading this message. Once you've it the green light, I'll transfer the modification to the real main page. Thanks. JoePlay ( talk ) 22:07, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

Stanchrisradu 18:00, March 8, 2010 (UTC)Hi!
Hi! My name is Stanchrisradu and I like editing. I come from the Combine Overwiki, where a big strain of infection hit almost all the site and blocked many users. I ran from there but I return there for Half Life supplies. I came here to cure the Infected articles and I like throwing a pipe Image on them. Please do not show you are Infected and do not block me. And if I put a bad image or something, reply. THX.

Oh!
Good for him. >:D xo.Christa.xo 05:16, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

Profiles
Hey, I'm, errmmm..."new" here.

(New as in, just made an account, but i;m the guy you had the discusiion about people getting torn in half with. ;) )

And I was wondering how to get one of those shnazzy info-box type things you and several others guys have on their page, as well as those cool "This user likes etc." Things.

Thanks,

Inferi-Oro 20:11, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

The Passing
is there an exact date when it is coming out?Ilikethemets 22:29, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

lol I laughed at your response about people may be confused to see a huge picture of Smoker's butt XD.

that was in time, cuz I already was thinking about adding a picture of Spitter's butt (which is obviously 10x grosser).

now I'll remember it's inappropriate. Urik Kane 21:51, March 18, 2010 (UTC)

Little question
Where are Five and Stigma? I haven't seen then for a while, actually, I haven't seen anyone from the old times for a while. I hope they still alive, though. Aratinga A. Ѭ 01:49, March 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * That means there is a new admin place, huh? Btw, I'm retiring. The wikia has changed. Looks like the releasing of L4D2 took all my editing enthusiasm, because L4D and L4D2 aren't funny anymore and I'm often playing TF2. Cya around girl! Aratinga A. Ѭ 03:22, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

Quick Question.
Is there a certain milestone you have to reach to vote on featured articles? Like, another wiki I was on required 100 mainspace edits before you could vote, or even comment. With love, MrJoe. 22:46, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

IDK how to make a link in my name 2 my page, can somebody tell me how? DeathMarineEK

Vandal
Some one vandalised the main page earlier, heres the ip address 82.28.177.189 just in case he does it again. GeneralOwnage55 The Message Box 16:55, March 25, 2010 (UTC)

New page
I just saw this page by someone called Zoy, which had information we had already written down and horrible spelling. The link is here: http://left4dead.wikia.com/wiki/Vehicles VaultGuru 15:48, March 26, 2010 (UTC)

Article Protection.
There have been several majors vandalizations of the witch page, all by unregistered users. I came from a wiki in which a lock could be put on certain articles, forcing you to register to edit it. It really cut down the vandalism. I was wondering if we could get something like that here? With love, MrJoe. 22:40, March 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm starting to feel like the entire wiki may need to undergo semi-protected status so only usernames can edit the wiki, haha. Sera404 02:30, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

vandalizing of bill's page
the user "Lo pixle ol" has been editing things like "bill likes dicks" and a few other things i had to undo. i think he also created a new page that says that some nigger zombies were cut. something like that. i would look into that. IchigoKitty 01:28, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

He is also vandalizing The Parish page. With love, MrJoe. 01:47, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

seems like the user "Residentevilrules" has also been doing the same things to zoey and francis' pages. probably same dude. probably will go after the other pages after i post this. IchigoKitty 01:50, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

User of the month?
Again, I keep talking about things that happened on a wiki I came from. Sorry about that. But more to the point, one of the things they used to do was have a user of the month that would be nominated by others users and voted upon by other users, using the same voting format as the Featured Article votes. they would write a bit about themselves and be feature on the front page, like the featured article. I was wandering if we could start something like that here. I would be willing to do anything to help. I understand if you can't, but I think theres some spectacular users on here who deserve recognition. With love, MrJoe. 01:58, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * On my wiki, I just make little awards, so there's no risk of it turning into a competition. Sort of like Wikipedia Barnstars. Food for thought. —  &lt;&lt;— Philodox —&gt;&gt;  talk 19:33, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

Wowzers
Hello Jo. Just wanted to say you're doing a fantastic job with this wiki. I inherited Zombiepedia a few months back, and while I'm starting to pick up the markup language and a few CSS/image tricks, I've got a long way to go before I make that wiki look as great as this one. Any pointers or edits you might make would be very much appreciated. I would volunteer my services, but even though I've been playing both games since release, and have been active on the Steam Forums, I really don't see much that I can contribute right now, because everything seems pretty tight here. I will swing by from time to time though.

Thanks!

Check my talk page (and his if you want to). He's been having a "discussion" with me. Imperialscouts 19:28, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

Please block that guy. He's making incorrect edits all the time and threatening people. Not kosher.Nightmirage 19:45, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

Wait, you can't check his talk page, he deleted what I said to him. Imperialscouts 20:07, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

He's had 'words' with me too on my User talk page (check history for his 'comment'), though I just undo'd it. Only thing I can suggest at the time is to watch his contributions, check for inconsistancy or false or unverified data and edit or undo it. --Sera404 22:04, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

Uh... I don't really feel like I egged him on, but okay. I'll let you handle it. Imperialscouts 23:19, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

Ah, okay. I gotcha. I actually am willing to give him a second chance so... this works out fine. Sorry for any trouble. Imperialscouts 23:30, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, Jo if you'd like i can do a walkthrough of The Passing this weekend. <font color="Gold">GeneralOwnage55 <font color="Orange">The Message Box  00:56, April 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * I am definitely going to do the walk-through for The Passing. I'll play through it tonight and tomorrow I'll start the editing. <font color="Gold">GeneralOwnage55 <font color="Orange">The Message Box  14:25, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

The Videos
If you've heard of a system called FRAPS, you can easily record videos of FPS games while in-game. It does make the game a little bit laggy however, and it costs $37 to register it. I've tried it and i like it, but i dont have the money to buy it, so i use the thirty-second trial. lol :PTagurit 03:23, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

Original Survivor Pages
Why are they all now uneditable (is that a word? It is now). Were people being trolls on the wiki while I was busy playing The Passing 8,000 times? Nightmirage 04:51, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

Ahh. I can understand Bill since his death will probably piss lots of people off. Do you think you'll unlock them soon? Seeing a lack of an "edit" button on Zoey's page makes me a sad, sad camper. Nightmirage 04:59, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

Question:
I'm not sure if you have played The Passing yet (probably have, but anyways), but I was wondering... do you have to wait a while for the Midnight Rider's tour bus to come past the fence near the cement truck? Or do you have to do something first to trigger the pass by? NewbieSim 05:40, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

I was thinking we need a new poll for the home page maybe something about which Midnight Riders song is your favorite or something like that.

video walkthrough on the passing
hey dude its cool. it did take up a lot of room. thanks

"Mods" article
I should probably note that I'm not too keen on the page being called that, as mods generally refer more to things like changing the Survivor/Infected/weapon skins and sounds along with third party servers which have 'mods' on them (or modded) rather than Custom Campaigns. :o Sera404 10:45, April 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * The problem with calling it "Map" is that term is used for singular maps (generally versus and survival) with regards to custom content XD But it's probably better than "Mods", at any rate. :3 Sera404 14:10, April 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Then why not call it map mods?Darkashura 13:15, April 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Never heard custom campaigns referred to by that. Maybe in the menu on the left under Campaigns, we should just have Custom Campaigns under Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2, and each custom map article (using Dead City as the example), have ADD-ON: (making it ADD-ON: Dead City) before the title?

Two "Super Vandals"
http://left4dead.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:62.232.75.4 and http://left4dead.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:195.92.163.130 were close to destroying nearly the entire Left 4 Dead Wiki. I had a nice editing war with them and mind you that it was tiring. I strongly suggest that you silence them through blocking because from their last vandalism, they were not ready to stop. LoneWolfHBS5 14:05, April 30, 2010 (UTC)

http://left4dead.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:92.28.180.219 just replaced my whole user page with "I'll see u tomorrow :U". I am going to assume that this is a different IP address of one of the two Super Vandals. This dude's harrassing me and I ain't liking it. I hate to bother admins but, it will really help me and probably the whole community if these three IP addresses were blocked. LoneWolfHBS5 18:13, April 30, 2010 (UTC)

Swearing and Capitalization
Two questions. :D --Sera404 21:28, May 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * What is left4dead.wikia.com's stance on swearing? Say if we're quoting something which has swear words (such as the M60's achievement being based off the quote "I'll take it [the gun] away from you, stick it up your ass and pull the fucking trigger till it goes 'click.'" in The Big Lebowski), should we type it in full or censor it (even though Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 are mature games)?
 * Does the following need to be converted to have capitalization on all words? If so, should the articles be moved to correct spellings?
 * Bile bomb
 * Pipe bomb
 * First aid kit
 * Pain pills
 * Healing items
 * Oxygen tank
 * Propane tank
 * Gas can

there was a vandal on the spitter page

Vandal
he has been making new page and mess up the spitter page

He has messed with more than the spitter page. Hes messed with the Ellis, spitter, boomer, coach, and other pages as well. Me, another unregistered, and someone else whose name i cannot remember atm have been setting the pages back. I STRONGLY suggest an IP ban. Glitch12 19:25, May 5, 2010 (UTC)

The Coaster Campaign Box at the Bottom of the Page
While editing and fixing errors on the wikia, i've noticed that The Coaster page does not have a campaign box which makes it inconvenient to chose which chapter you'd like to select. Since i'm new at this and don't know how to add a box, i was wondering if anyone else could do it. GreatSeige2 19:32, May 5, 2010 (UTC)

I'm not the one who found him first, it was another unregistered person. I was just saying which pages i've noticed were messed with.Glitch12 20:06, May 5, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, it's been you, me, Big Arms I think and maybe Sera who have been reverting the Articles back which the Vandal has tampered with. 94.195.236.134 20:09, May 5, 2010 (UTC)

Quote for a Template.
For the Fan Made Community Template (Seen in Campaign Articles like Suicide Blitz and Dead City), I found a reasonable Quote said by Ellis: "Built that thing do be Zombie-Proof". It's a reference to the Campaign being built by a single Person like the Truck Ellis was talking about being built by himself. If you think it doesn't fit, then by all means revert it/Find a better Quote and replace it. 94.195.236.134 18:38, May 6, 2010 (UTC)

Colours for Suicide Blitz

Splitting all Uncommon Infected into its own article (as "Uncommon Infected")
Posted this to Deathblade 182 as well, but since half of the Common Infected article is about the Uncommon Infected, perhaps the group as a whole can get its own article? We can pop a link to the tactics section on the Common Infected article for overall stuff, and put in new tactics for the Uncommons, along with moving some of the notes over to it. :3 Currently in the middle of working on it here. --Sera404 15:18, May 18, 2010 (UTC)

Articles
A lot of the articles for the locations and the Military article can have more Information added to them if you give them some time. Many of them are very related to the story and universe of the game which this Wiki lacks a lot of. If we have an Article for CEDA why not for the military? Dont delete them.

Left 2 Dead
Sorry, you're both dead wrong (ironically appropriate, that). As I tried to emphasize with my reference to Macbeth, this is a dramatic/structural event as well as a "quote." Explaining how it functions in the scene will tell the reader more than a reference to Zoey giggling and saying "Sorry."

And as for the "passing gas" quote..... see below, copied directly from Zoey's quotes:

........Zoey: "Man, I love steam." (Reference to the Steam online game server; Francis' answers may allude to the mistaken idea that the Internet is a series of "tubes" or "pipes.")
 * Francis: "Yeah, steam's alright I guess." / "I hate steam...pipes." / "Oh yeah. I love steam. I just hate the pipes."


 * [ When walking past fuel tanks ] Zoey: "Hey Francis, look. We're passing gas. Hahaha..."
 * Francis: "Haha. Nice."


 * [ Upon spotting the Howitzer ] "We can cross the river on that bridge!"
 * "Barricade. Big ass gun. Anybody got any ideas?"
 * [ Seeing a rack of magazines ] "Hey Francis, they've got the latest issue of Hating Everything Magazine here."
 * Francis: "I hate latest issues.".....

Do you see it now? Fourth line down. My emphasis.

Next time, be a little more careful before you accuse a user of making a mistake.

By the way, I teach drama (among other things) and have an academic research background. I've also been gaming for 30 years (ever played Missile Command?), and am coming up to my 150,000th dead Infected in my Left 4 Dead 2 kill count. So, although it's quite likely I may not know as much in this particular field as either or both of you, I do know a bit. 174.6.51.17 20:03, May 30, 2010 (UTC)

You misunderstood, 174.6; They meant that the part about Zoey "beefing" in the Elevator is simply in the wrong place. They said that it was moved to the Quotes Section as that's where Zoey's Quotes belong; on her "Quotes" Article. So they put it there instead. They never deleted it, they simply put it in the right place. On top of that, they put the "Passing Gas" Quote near/next to it to help show the similarities between them both referring to "Passing Wind". Understand now? 94.195.236.134 20:19, May 30, 2010 (UTC)

Welcome User Template
As a new member of this wiki, I just got standard "Welcome to the Wiki" talk page message. I hate to sound like a moron, but there is a spelling error in this. The caption of "...I'm Francis, and that's Grampa Bill..." is incorrect. It should read "Grandpa Bill".

Just thought I'd point that out :) FrazerJC 13:34, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

The closed captions say it's "Grandpa" =P
