Your User Page
"The Cabal" made me laugh so hard! You should be wary of putting me at the top of the list though; you might make Blue jealous... (just kidding) I am more like Blue's subordinate, since he was here long before me... He is the shadow master! the power behind the throne! Rarely is he seen, but he alone holds the true reigns of power!! (Looks over shoulder frantically and runs away before Blue sees) ~Gardimuer { ʈalk } 00:56, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

YOUR PAGE IS AWESOME. Also, in this case, you might want to take the above into consideration. :)

BlueIsSupreme 07:45, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

Wow. I am humbled. You have just made it to my personal list of few epic users. Gardimuer might be jealous. :)

I am assuming you are asking for JUST a plasmid, not tonics. If it must be one, I would say Telekinesis. It is the most efficient way to clean up... and get people and things out of my way.

BlueIsSupreme 07:58, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

ROFL! I must say reading the bio was great. And boy the ROFLs did flow. I loved it. Very creative! Regarding the Plasmid choice. Is this the Plasmid we actually use in game or one that fits for the bio? EDlTʘR  •taIk• |undefined 19:04, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, damn. That's a good question. I would be curious to know which you mean? Because my answers would be different.

BlueIsSupreme 19:11, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

Very good. Telekinesis does suit my personality best, as does Hypnotize and Security Command. But the plasmid that I use in combat the most is Electro Bolt. As a Prototype Big Daddy, it makes for the mightiest "one-two punch" ever conceived. plus, stunning blue lightning for everyone!

BlueIsSupreme 20:11, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

Electro Bolt it is, then. :)

BlueIsSupreme 20:28, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

I realy like sonic boom more than any other plasmid. not only does it send things flying, it should rly hurt their ears. and maybe they used it for baseball. hey easy homerun! GeneralOwnage55

I don't have anything really meaningful to say about which plasmid fits me... I do like using Insect Swarm though. It keeps Splicers from sneaking up on me. Those devious insects do all the work while I go about my business of looting and pilfering what is left of Rapture. ~Gardimuer { ʈalk } 07:18, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

I really don't have a favorite Plasmid. It's embarrassing to say, but I use weapons much more than plasmids. I guess the one I am most greatful for is Target Dummy. When playing on hard, it really come in handy when the situation gets sticky, and it get sticky a lot. EDlTʘR  •taIk• |undefined 08:16, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

Grace Holloway et al.
Is the information about Grace Holloway, Daniel Wales, and "Big Kate" O'Malley from official info (i.e. an official news site or 2K itself)? If it came from leaked videos then I need to put it in collapsible tables. ~Gardimuer { ʈalk } 19:20, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

Wrench Trivia
There may be a similarity that wrenches are used, but just because there is a similarity does not mean that it is significant. I could list many games in which wrenches are used as weapons; why is the Half Life wrench special? Did the BioShock developers ever say that they thought of Gordon Freeman's wrench when making the game? If the developers did not intend the similarity then it is just a coincidence. ~Gardimuer { ʈalk } 22:17, January 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * The references article is full of random similarities that people think are significant. Eventually I will go through that article and weed out the things that are not supported by interviews etc. with 2k.
 * If you can find a source where a 2K member talked about Half Life in connection to BioShock then that trivia can be kept. (Also, please forgive my faux pas of forgetting what mele weapon Freeman used >_< I have played HalfLife... shame on me.) ~Gardimuer { ʈalk } 22:30, January 15, 2010 (UTC)

Subject Delta
Hey Will, I just saw your edit to the Subject Delta page, and I'm curious what your source is. I imagine it's some leaked video, as I haven't heard anything about it from any of the official videos. If it is, I think it should be moved into a leaked info dropdown, as that's some pretty serious information.Magicman4443 16:38, January 16, 2010 (UTC) Ah, ok. Thanks for clearing that up. Magicman4443 16:38, January 16, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, can you add the source for your information about Delta you added a few days ago to the Subject Delta page? I don't really know how to do references.Magicman4443 20:20, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, ok. Someone had deleted it, and I put the info back up, but Gardimuer was asking for a source. I guess we'll just have to wait a few weeks.--Magicman4443 21:26, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

Collapsible Templates
To make the template collapse you need to add class="collapsible autocollapse" to the first line of the table.

For instance, to make Template:Splicer Models collapse you would type this:

And it would look like so:

I added the "collapsible autocollapse", and I also added width=610px so the template would always stay the same width, even when collapsed.

Let me know if you still have questions. ~<font style="font-size:105%" color=#006622>Gardimuer <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 20:53, January 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * I have thought of a different look for the Template:Tonics1 and Template:Tonics2:


 * I added a bunch of non-breaking spaces (&nbsp ;) so phrases like "Armored Shell 1 and 2" will stick together instead of being broken up at the end of a line. I also made the template a little bit wider and switched the placement of the headings. Let me know if you like this version or prefer your own. ~<font style="font-size:105%" color=#006622>Gardimuer <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 23:37, January 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * How about this? ~<font style="font-size:105%" color=#006622>Gardimuer <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 19:20, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

Some other thoughts: ~<font style="font-size:105%" color=#006622>Gardimuer <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 18:41, January 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * It might look better on pages with more than one navbox if they were a standard width. What do you think; should we have a standard width for all of them? Some wikis have all of their navboxes width=100% (Example on the Fallout Wiki: )
 * For pages with more than one navbox I am going to make the entire template autocollapse; that way the template will collapse to one line only if there is more than one navigation box on the page.


 * The Levels template is stretching my screen. The width is huge, I thought templates and things were supposed to keep dynamic variables so it could adjust to the viewers browser. Perhaps change the "820" to "100%" so it only goes to 100% of the viewers screen.


 * I'm sorry, but I've seen a lot of insensitivity to people with lesser computers and I'm getting tired of it. Whenever something on this wiki is messing up the article for people on lower resolution computers like mine, they just go "Oh well" and leave it messing up the screen. Really, I know I'm not the only one with these problems and I'm tired of them thinking that I'm the only one mad about it. ~<span title="Never harmed a kitten...

Cabel List
Although I don't know what it is, I'm game. I've never put favor on any one plasmid in BioShock 1, although there are ones I used less than others. I do like the main/obvious ones, but I think I'd choose Hypnotize from BioShock 2 (even before it's even out). Even more so, I hope you can use it on multiple splicers at the same time. :) ~ <span style="border-bottom:2px dotted green; border-left:4px double green; border-right:4px double green; border-top:2px dotted green"><font color="#008800">Ṃ <font color="#009900">ᶒ <font color="#00aa00">ɠ <font color="#00bb00">ą <font color="#00cc00">§ <font color="#00dd00">ɔ <font color="#00cc00">î <font color="#00bb00">é <font color="#00aa00">ɳ <font color="#009900">č <font color="#008800">ę  <font color="#ff0000">{ <font color="#ff4400">t <font color="#ff8800">al <font color="#ff4400">k <font color="#ff0000">} 20:00, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Subject Delta Sourcing
I see that you have had trouble with people removing the information you add to the Subject Delta page. The easiest way to stop that is to add a source for your information. Since you got the information from a magazine, you could add a source by typing the following at the end of the disputed sentences:

Without the parentheses, of course.

Then add this to the end of the article: <pre width=50%>

I know where you got your user name
Teridax,from Bionicle

Yea well I'm kind of a fan of it too.

I believe the first is correct, as that is how they are labeled in BioShock. Has it changed in the second game?

Potential walkthrough collaboration?
Hi, Willbachbakal. I'm so sorry about this walkthrough business. Five Dog and I had been discussing it in the IRC for a few days, but I forgot to talk to you about it to get your input. Five Dog wrote many walkthroughs for the Left4Dead wiki, and on that site they have different policies for walkthroughs. Again, we apologize for any inconvenience.

BlueIsSupreme and I have both noticed how the walkthroughs on the level pages have inconsistent format; some are just paragraphs of text and others are long bulleted lists. Your edits have done a lot to improve them by removing second-person, and that made me consider what else might be done to improve them. It would be very nice if we could have a harmonious mean; maybe in each walkthrough have a few paragraphs describing an area and the enemies in it, and then bullets for the item listed in each area.

Since the walkthroughs are now in collapsible templates, we may not need to worry as much about them being long. They certainly need to be concise, but perhaps the abbreviations (like BD and FAK) can be abandoned.

We would like to work with you on this to make the walkthroughs as good as possible. Let me know your opinions (agreements, complaints, suggestions; the works.) of this proposal. ~'''<font style="font-size:105%" color=#006622>Gardimuer <span title="Evolve today!" style="cursor:wait">http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/bioshock/images/thumb/a/a1/Physical_Tonic.png/15px-Physical_Tonic.svg.png ''' <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 20:21, February 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * So, what all should the paragraph at the beginning of each section include? Should it be just a description of the area, or should it also tell about certain scripted events that will occur as the character moves through it (for instance, the Dr. Grossman that sneaks up behind the player after the fog in Painless Dental)?
 * As for the abbreviations, since all the items listed will be in bulleted lists, it wont lengthen the section at all if we use full item names instead of abbreviations. It will make it easier for a person skimming the section to easily pick out what is in an area. If you are concerned about typing them out taking to long, Five Dog or I could take care of inserting the name where abbreviations are. ~<font style="font-size:105%" color=#006622>Gardimuer <span title="Evolve today!" style="cursor:wait">http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/bioshock/images/thumb/a/a1/Physical_Tonic.png/15px-Physical_Tonic.svg.png  <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 20:45, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't really have any plans besides what's above ; ). I suppose we can begin on this as soon you or I have time free from other wiki things. ~<font style="font-size:105%" color=#006622>Gardimuer <span title="Evolve today!" style="cursor:wait">http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/bioshock/images/thumb/a/a1/Physical_Tonic.png/15px-Physical_Tonic.svg.png  <font color=#33CC66>{ ʈalk } 22:55, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

Eleven days of Plasmids
Yes, I forgot about that one... cannot wait to see what it is!

On a side note, I am planning a somewhat large restructuring project for some pages, consisting of main pages with summaries or introductions to a particular subject, with appropriate splitting (per game or phase) where necessary. There's Something in the Sea is the best example of this. I am planning to post a more detailed plan on Gardimuer's talk page, so feel free to browse.

So for your information, I am planning to do this to (or refine in the case of ones done already):


 * Audio Diaries
 * Characters
 * Enemies
 * Gene Tonics (Gene Bank will be its own page once again)
 * Plasmids
 * Weapons

If you wish to help with any one aspect, I would love for each of these main pages to have a template similar to the ones on the right for Audio Diaries, Characters, etc.

BlueIsSupreme 19:40, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

Revamp
As you can see, I have "started" the process with the (new) weapons and plasmids pages. I will be making periodic changes, but now that those pages are created, have at it. It probably goes without saying, but each of the games' pages should be modeled similarly.

About the Trials Article
The whole point of making the table sortable was so people could sort the full listing by ADAM or required number (or one of the other sortables) and figure out which ones they wanted to do. Breaking up the table means that they will now have to manually search the whole listing. I was thinking we could just add an extra column (or is it Row... whichever goes down) to the table, keeping it as one, that could list each type. If we organize it like that, we can remove the undisplayed numbers. ~<span title="Never harmed a kitten... Just cats!" style="cursor:crosshair"><span style="border-bottom:2px dotted green; border-left:4px double green; border-right:4px double green; border-top:2px dotted green"><font color="#008800">Ṃ <font color="#009900">ᶒ <font color="#00aa00">ɠ <font color="#00bb00">ą <font color="#00cc00">§ <font color="#00dd00">ɔ <font color="#00cc00">î <font color="#00bb00">é <font color="#00aa00">ɳ <font color="#009900">č <font color="#008800">ę  <font color="#ff0000">{ <font color="#ff4400">t <font color="#ff8800">al <font color="#ff4400">k <font color="#ff0000">} 22:31, February 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hmm. Well, that's the point, sort of. If we add a new column listing the type of trial, we can order them by that and completely remove my numbering system. I only put it there because I was too lazy to organize it manually, and I read it on a Wikia Table Help page. But considering you put a whole bunch of tables already put in that order, just removing the table partitions and slipping in the column saying what type should suffice.


 * The list of them may get long, but I'm not sure if breaking it up is the solution... ~<span title="Never harmed a kitten...

 * Well, changing your name could be bad if you're hacked. And if you're really displeasured by your name, they could just say you choose wrong. On Xbox Live, people ask to get their name reported so Microsoft will let them change it for free. But, really, I don't see the big problem with them charging for that.
