User talk:Five Dog

Greetings, good citizen! Welcome to my talk page. If you have anything to tell me or ask me, this would be the perfect place to do so! Just leave a comment below, and I'll respond on your talk page as soon as I can. Five Dog ignores no one.

Here are some general tips, in case you're interested:


 * Signing a page with four tildes ( ~ ) will leave your signature the exact time you made the edit. You can change your signature at any time on your Preferences page.
 * Use this when signing your comments on talk pages, like this one!
 * Don't use this when you're editing an article.
 * Using a colon will indent things put behind it.

Example: Hey there! :Hello. ::How are you? :::Fine, and you? ::::I'm okay, thanks for asking!

This would result in...

Hey there!
 * Hello.
 * How are you?
 * Fine, and you?
 * I'm okay, thanks for asking!

You can keep adding colons to your heart's content! Generally, you use these to signify that the comment is meant to be in reply to another. If you're replying to a reply, just add one colon to however many the above reply had.
 * Want to speak instantly with other members of the Left 4 Dead Wiki? Activate the shout box! In the Community box in the sidebar, click on Widgets. This will open a list of widgets you can add. Look for Shout Box and click the green plus sign next to it. This will add that widget onto the sidebar. Of course, you can always add any of the other widgets, and move them around as much as you'd like. Take a look around at what's there, add what you'd think will come in handy!
 * Five Dog has Community, Recent changes, Shout box, and Active talk pages active in the sidebar.

If you have any other questions, this would be a great place to leave them! Thanks for stopping by. -- Five Dog ( Talk ){ Updates }

what did you mean when you said BRING FORTH THE BANHAMMER?
 * Oh, I was just joking around. :P I really didn't have anything to put in my summary... So, I remembered that line and felt compelled to say it. :) -- Five Dog ( Talk ){ Updates } 23:06, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Survivor Relationships
Oh, my! Thanks for fixing that, I made a typo... - §tigma-231 ♠ o  ƒ  my caliber { τalk }{¢ont } 22:41, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

I believe that Spygon is somewhat opposed to it. You can see everyone who's stated they're opposed on Talk:The Survivors. - §tigma-231 ♠ ৳ hаt i ɯill nəvər escaρe [ łalk  ][ ςont ] 15:27, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

RE:Strikethroughs
You're right, I've never really liked that very much. I wasn't the one who started that whole thing. I think it means that "there's a chance that this bit of information might still be correct, so we won't remove it completely." But, like you said, it looks tacky. Unfortunately, I haven't exactly had the time to change all of it. Regardless, it doesn't belong on the wiki. If you had the time, perhaps you could fix it up? It would help out a lot, and maybe people would start following your lead. I'll probably have a chance to help, as well, in some time.

Oh, and I never delete messages on my talk page. - §tigma-231 ♠ o  ƒ  my caliber { τalk }{¢ont } 20:02, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I figured you did. :P


 * I don't really think there's a particular reason for that, though. I don't work on the finales much.  However, I've been considering writing walkthroughs for them, so people can actually make it to the area where the finale is and do well with supplies they find along the way.  They're not all like No Mercy and Dead Air's, where you just walk outside of the saferoom door and you're there, with nothing worth stopping for along the way. - §tigma-231  ♠ o  ƒ  my caliber { τalk }{¢ont } 22:44, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
 * As long as I get to do Death Toll's, I don't mind. It's my favourite. - §tigma-231  ♠ o  ƒ  my caliber { τalk }{¢ont } 23:39, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Dead Air is a close second. Oh, and your signature.  I noticed you're trying to get some colour into it?  It helps if the colour tags are within the link brackets, after the |.  Like in my signature,  §tigma-231  turns out to be  §tigma-231 .  I hope that helps. - §tigma-231  ♠ o  ƒ  my caliber { τalk }{¢ont } 23:59, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Lol, you're welcome. - §tigma-231 ♠ o  ƒ  my caliber { τalk }{¢ont } 00:10, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

RE:The Witch
No problem. It's my job. :P

In any case, you could add it, if you wanted. It seems like a reasonable addition. I don't know much about glitches. I just know that I miss the minigun glitch; my friends and I have spent hours jumping around on it in Dead Air, it was awesome. I'm hoping that Valve might make something where you can continue doing simple little fun glitches like that. I'd love them even more if they did that. - §tigma-231 ♠ o  ƒ  my caliber { τalk }{¢ont } 15:45, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Sounds good, I'm eager to see the results. - §tigma-231 ♠ o  ƒ  my caliber { τalk }{¢ont } 18:15, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

RE:Walkthroughs
...Lol. Uh, I can do that now. - §tigma-231 ♠ o  ƒ  my caliber { τalk }{¢ont } 23:30, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Both. - §tigma-231 ♠ o  ƒ  my caliber { τalk }{¢ont } 23:37, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * ...Uh, Halo? - §tigma-231 ♠ o  ƒ  my caliber { τalk }{¢ont } 23:40, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, I have written or rewritten quite a few of the walkthroughs up to this point. There are only a few missing, but I'll get to those.  Right now, though, I'm only doing The Drains. - §tigma-231  ♠ o  ƒ  my caliber { τalk }{¢ont } 00:03, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * You can go ahead, if you'd like. I only want to do Death Toll's chapters mostly by myself, since it is my favourite campaign... - §tigma-231  ♠ o  ƒ  my caliber { τalk }{¢ont } 18:02, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Other than following the general layout of the other walkthroughs like The Sewer or The Hospital, whatever is one, and...well, yeah. :P - §tigma-231 ♠ o  ƒ  my caliber { τalk }{¢ont } 18:10, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Assault Rifle Glitch on Talk:The Witch Sorry about fanning the flames. But, yea, I'll try to figure out how to do it again. I don't have Fraps, so I'll find another way to record it. Thanks for putting up with me. Also, on the gamertag, YES! TheCreaturenator16 22:55, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I only have the PC version, but I do have a 360. I'll send you an invite some time. My guess is that no ones else cared enough to figure it out. Were there other attempts? Also, it'll be a few days before I have time to figure out the PC version of the glitch again. TheCreaturenator16 00:20, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

One last thing, I was thinking about starting pictures of the routes youu need to take to get throughout the levels. I'm going to have a crapload of time this summer, so I might as well, also having the locations of weapons and ammo and other special items. I first was searching the wiki, and wanted to see maps of the levels, so I recently thought I should maybe get on it as a contribution to the wiki. TheCreaturenator16 00:28, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

So you, personally, are not an admin? Are you just an enthousiastic member or something higher than that? TheCreaturenator16 00:37, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Yea, that's not good. The "real" admins are never here? So that just leaves Stigma to run the show, huh? On other wikis I've seen pages with Reasons for Adminship of So-and-So. Same thing here? Because if so, I'll keep contributing to the wiki and helping wherever possible. I'll keep contributing anyway, but it just might give me a little incentive to do so. So what do admins do, specifically? TheCreaturenator16 00:47, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

So just more clout, basically. TheCreaturenator16 00:50, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Also, that SilentShadow guy. Is he a regular contributor or just annoying? TheCreaturenator16 00:51, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

That's interesting, because a couple of months ago, when some dude started replacing every page with "NIGGA STOLE MY BUS!", do you remember that? Someone was there changing the pages back, and I think it was Stigma. I could have been wrong, though. That's when I first started to care about the Wiki, because I realized that there are some really annoying people around here. TheCreaturenator16 01:01, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Yea, I know you're not a fanboy. I have a console, too, and I love both the PC and my 360. It's just that if there are PC fanboys, console fanboys are soon to follow. I wasn't even thinking of you when I wrote that. TheCreaturenator16 01:17, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Anyway, it's been a while, but I was unsuccessful when re-attempting the glitch. I also found out how it happened the first time. I was playing online with some of my buddies, somehow sv_cheats was turned on without me seeing, someone spawned a witch with 10 health a ways down. When I went to sneak around it, I had pistols equipped. I wanted to see what happened when you meleed her, and it obviously just pissed her off. I ran back, and did the whole switching to assault rifle and forgetting to stop melee, and something weird happened with my graphics that made it look like a huge burst, and it killed her. I went and talked to my friend and learned all this. TheCreaturenator16 03:20, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Zoey
Thanks for leaving that comment. I have taken a fancy to her. I currently look for that hot gamer girl in real life, but so far, no dice. I agree on everything else you said about her, even the part about her being digital. If she was real and available, I would ask her out. What about you?Animalx28 01:17, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

RE:Capitals
It really depends on the usage. For me, I capitalize Survivors when it refers to the four playable character, don't when it's not, and Infected when it refers to the types of Infected. - §tigma-231 ♠ o  ƒ  my caliber { τalk }{<font color="darkolivegreen">¢ont } 01:27, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

What's your gamertag? I have no idea what it could be, cuz i tried five dog, and all other variants that wouyld make sense, and i got 1 actual response: a 5 or 6 year old girl who has no relation to you. i want to play with the almighty five dog, and see if he can help me survive the zombie apocylypse on expert. If you could give me some clues, i would be happy to guess.--Supermutantslayer450 23:02, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Mapping Page
Five Dog! I call out to you for help! Would you kindly head over to Left 4 Dead Mapping Project and fix it up? TheCreaturenator16 21:53, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Um, yea, dude, thanks. Seriously. But could you head back over there? Tell me how you fix THIS mistake, please, on my talk page. I'm still getting the hang of this. TheCreaturenator16 22:28, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm trying to get the thumbs left, center, right, all on the same line. My last edit left it at left and center, but on different lines. TheCreaturenator16 22:33, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, I did it. I supported you. I really and truly believe you should be a sysop. Now where's my fix, dammit? ;) TheCreaturenator16 22:46, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * As Francis says, "No, thank YOU." Really and truly. I hope that the mapping page turns out at great as I look! Also, I hope you get the sysop position. Any chance of bumping Stigma all the way up to admin? TheCreaturenator16 23:00, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

I just thought, i edited a lot of stuff on this wiki, and i am sort of doing some admin stuff already, like deleting incorrect stuffe, and other things like that, and i have been a member for this and other wikis for a long time, so i was just wondering, can i be an admin? if no, i totally understand, but i hav already done a lot of stuff to help this site, so please consider it. thanx.

Witch stomping
"That is, unfortunately, a mere rumor" Well, not really. I was actually playing the game with my friend and saw him do it. But whatever, don't believe me.


 * RE:Witch Stomping: Ah, well I can't say I blame you for not believing me. We didn't exactly expect it to happen when it did. He was trying to shoot her and a common pushed him off. I'll see if I can conduct some experiments myself since I'm a pretty good Witch hunter and I know the times when she's vulnerable to attack. Maybe my friend shot her without making a sound, I dunno. It certainly looked like he just fell on her head.


 * Well, I think you were right. My friend accomplished this feat quite a while ago, and I think it has since been patched. Though for some reason, when I had more than witch on me at once, the others would drop dead while one stayed alive swatting at me. I thought it was kind of odd...

RE: User talk:75.72.205.243
''Hello there, friend! ''I must say, splendid job with the Witch page, you're doing well! Perhaps, if you wanted to continue with any more, you could create an account? Right now, you are recognized only as a guest, and much of your effort will go unnoticed and uncredited. It is, obviously, not necessary to make an account, it's only a suggestion. Nevertheless, thank you for your useful fixes to the Witch! Also, if you have any questions about anything, you can ask me here.''

Why thank you! XD I'm glad I can be of help! I originally wasn't going to stay that long (originally wanted to get rid of the fan theories), but hey, I like it here lol

I also have a couple a questions regarding the article. There is a lot of conflicted info, that I don't feel comfortable editing just because its never happened to me:

1.) In the "meet the witch" section it says after she kills the one who startled her, she will eventually run away, mysteriously disappearing, if she out of your line of sight. But in the trivia section:

"If a Witch does manage to retreat but is again confronted near the area of the first, the Witch will sit up on the floor and growl at you but not attack. However, you will be pushed away but, you can still kill her."

Does this mean that if she still in your line of sight, that if you follow her she'll growl but won't do anything? I've only had her run away once. And there's this:

"Witches actually don't seem to cause intentional harm unless they are startled due to the fact that they refrain from causing further damage after they have killed the Survivor that provoked them. In addition, they cover their heads in regret if they are reencountered moments after their kill."

I'm calling BS, but I'm still not sure.

2.) In the "tactics survivors" section, it says that if you close a normal door on her, she will claw a hole, then she will break it down moments after, but then in the "witch tactics that fail" section, it says that its not advisable to close a door on her because she break it down in 1 or 2 hits. Then in the "trivia" section it says:

"It's possible to kill a Witch — and startle her without her chasing anybody down — by closing a door on her."

Do you know which is true?

3.) In the "tactics survivors" section, it says lighting a witch with a molotov will make her slow as a turtle, but then in the "other witch killing tactics", it says that it does damage over time. She'll run after you, and can attack like a normal zombie. This implies that is SLIGHTLY slower, not slow as a turtle. Do you know which a is more true? I've personally lighted up a witch and she still ran at her normal speed, but then another time I did, she was slightly slower, but that have been the freezing glitch seeing as I was on higher ground....

3.) For the "do not disturb" achievement, do you know if it means to avoid her AT ALL COSTS? Like if she is growling and standing, does that count against it?

Thank you for your time! Angelofdeath275 15:22, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for helping ti out w/ the questions! Now I think that all the conflicting info! Angelofdeath275 17:14, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

About Survival Mode...
Regarding my last edit, in the campaign, the Tank can only hit one Survivor at a time, and there is no Hunter pounce that stuns the immediate Survivors either. Both rules of gameplay belong to Versus and Survival as well. Check to confirm - I'm pretty sure I'm right. Islidox 19:14, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
