Welcome!
Oh hey sorry i didn't notice you said you were going to be importing the supporting characters. So you're doing the revision on them right? I guess i'm still relatively "new" to the new skin which I think is not as good as the one we had before. Anyways it seems we have one more member on board so thats good!Donutsonfire 22:07, October 22, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah sorry about that. I had no idea on how to import the histories. Could you explain to me how to import the pictures? I haven't seen you post any information on how to do so. I probably won't get any importing done anymore tonight and I'll probably be importing around tomorrow 7PST (9 @ your place). Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hey! I know you guys are really busy right now but after your done could you take a look at the chapters list and episodes pages as I can't read the table's on these pages as they run off the page and under the recent wiki activity box. thanks for your time -- Sam.C 10:26, October 23, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for doing that and you can just call me sam its quicker that way Sam.C 16:31, October 23, 2010 (UTC)

Okay so I'm guessing you've probably imported all the picutures? Just checking now so I don't waste any time XDDonutsonfire 03:05, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

I'm also not quite sure what you mean by the theme designer. Please elaborate XDDonutsonfire 03:12, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

Oh wow lol fail i've totally forgot. I see what you mean. Btw you should update the community message...i've wrote some stuff on it, but i'm not sure if thats how you want itDonutsonfire 03:17, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

I really like this new theme. I think i've posted on one of the other wikis a while to suggest a merge, but I wonder what they've done up till now. Anyways...care to explain what a favicon is? I'm not really up to date with wikia jargonDonutsonfire 06:10, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

I'm ready to join this wiki anytime anywhere, I'll correct any mistakes yall guys do that u don't see.

P.S. if theres any open slot for administration ill be glad to join in.

MrPacheco101 15:33, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

LOL and I thought i was good for computers...this is disappointing XDDonutsonfire 16:22, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

Yo turambar, i think it is about time to split into organized groups. Its starting to clutter up!Donutsonfire 19:40, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

Editors into like character groups. It'll be much more organized that way.Donutsonfire 19:46, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure how I can get the message across without the shoutbox or something...perhaps u can leave them a message or do u want me to do it?Donutsonfire 20:13, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

Oh that's fine~ Won't be a big issue now XDDonutsonfire 02:54, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

I like the new hearder!...it seems as if it's a bit compressed don't you think? I'm not sure how you could fix that, but maybe the picture file gets fitted into a smaller shape vertically when you place it there. It looks fine if you don't mind the compression.Donutsonfire 02:29, October 26, 2010 (UTC)

Lol don't worry about it. Compared to the last one we had on the old wiki, this is like "OMFG SOOO GOOD" hahaha. Donutsonfire 02:39, October 26, 2010 (UTC)

Okay so i'm almost done evening out the spacing on the character pages (to reduce size and give pages a uniform look), but i've noticed something very important that we've missed. The text in the template boxes are almost unreadable now due to the colours on the wiki. Perhaps we should change the text to a darker colour?Donutsonfire 02:44, October 26, 2010 (UTC)

This is actually going to be hard to choose as we can only change the background of the box....maybe red? The colour of the text is too light for the colour of the box to be anything lighter than a green/blue/red, but we can't use black as it'll just look like it melted into the article....actually on second thought, try out the black first if i were you. If the results turn out to be good, then leave as is.Donutsonfire 03:54, October 26, 2010 (UTC)

It looks great actually! I'm surprised how well the colours turned out. Luckily for you it was only some minor stuff to do. Thanks for changing it Donutsonfire 00:08, October 27, 2010 (UTC)

Hmm I'll try to get on Shizuka's this weekend. I don't think I can finish though. I'll try asking around to see if I can enlist some help. I understand new chapter is coming out within 2 weeks, so we got to get our stuff together. I'll be busy studying for my SAT on 11/6, but I'll try my best.Donutsonfire 01:37, October 31, 2010 (UTC)

Oh haha its fine. I like your idea on separating them based on location, but I think it's priority is definitely something after the new manga summaries are added. That way, in case we screw up, we won't be even more trouble when we have the new information to add. LOL I took the SAT last June...got like 1840...but I didn't really study much. I'm aiming for a solid 2.1k this time. I hope my essay won't be as bad as last time though. As I said, I'll try to get some Shizuka done tomorrow, but no guarantees. It'll mostly be done by Tuesday...I think, that is if I get working on it. Somehow I think the editors that were here only contributed to discussions in the forums...I'm wondering about their dedication...maybe we should just continue as we have been going and once things settle down, we'll sort it out.Donutsonfire 06:38, October 31, 2010 (UTC)

Haha old SAT was out of 1600, and its 2400 now. Anyways, yeah we kinda need to wait for them to see what they say. I usually post on HOTD-related forums, but since HOTD is not on mangafox anymore, the community is dying down there so not much I can do at the moment.Donutsonfire 03:12, November 1, 2010 (UTC)

LOL i'll definitely start shouji's other series if i can get a 2.1k on this SAT. Getting 2.1k will finally free up my schedule so much!Donutsonfire 05:16, November 1, 2010 (UTC)

Haha oddly enough, I was gonna post on your page today that i'm back in action and finished my SAT. I'll be updating for the next 5 days cuz i have a long weekend. Donutsonfire 05:29, November 9, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. If i see it updated before you do, i'll post the link in the community news area and i'll send u a post. I'll also go straight to editing some of my characters...that way we can save some time!Donutsonfire 07:02, November 11, 2010 (UTC)

Oh hey i didn't notice it was out till now LOL. I guess i probably won't be able to get on to my pages till tomorrow night. If you are free and feeling bored, it's alright if you want to help edit. I just don't want to burden you with too much work. ThanksDonutsonfire 06:06, November 13, 2010 (UTC)

Yo
Yo i did this battle for my CvA3 tournament featuring Saeko. tell me what u think of the battle

P.S. i hope i got Saeko's psychotic personality right.

http://deadliestfiction.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:MrPacheco101/Fun_Round:_Dexter_Morgan_vs._Saeko_Busujima

I'm not a big fan of fan fiction, but that was pretty good. I think you may have exaggerated Saeko's psychotic side a bit, but then again, we really haven't seen much of her true nature yet. I was kind of hoping she would win, but the outcome went well with the story you were telling.Turambar1  03:51, November 30, 2010 (UTC)

If u get this message there was one thing i wanted to tell u about the reason i did this battle. basically the main reason i did the battle was to show people that Saeko is not this all powerful killing machine, because once the anime came out EVERYBODY liked saeko and pretty much made her an overrated character, and what my friend said was if was on her own she can take a city full of zombies does that make sense to you ? so one of the primary message of this battle was to prove " hey she may be zombie killing machine, but once she fights someone with more experience(in killing) shes done".

P.S. have u ever watched Dexter?

MrPacheco101 03:57, December 11, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I agree that Saeko has become overrated. She is definitely not all-powerful as many people make her out to be. One of the great things about HOTD is that the characters are realistic and don't possess abilities beyond those of normal humans as many other manga/anime characters do. We haven't really seen much of her fighting skills against other people, so we really don't know how well she would do in real combat. Being captain of the kendo club says something, but fighting other high school students with wooden swords doesn't really compare to fighting an older, more experienced person with real weapons. It makes sense that she would lose to someone with more experince.

I haven't ever watched Dexter, but my brother watches it, and he has a lot of episodes recorded on our DVR. I'd watch them, but I really don't have the time right now.Turambar1  04:53, December 11, 2010 (UTC)

yeah that is true, fighting students with a wooden sword and slicing zombies with a katana does give her some skills, but as you said we really dont know how she would in real combat. in my opinion i think she can fight very well with other people if given a chance. well if u ever not too busy with college and wiki i definetly recomeend you watch Dexter, its a REALLY good show trust me. and you will probably see why i chose dexter to fight Saeko.MrPacheco101 06:03, December 11, 2010 (UTC)

P.S. just like HOTD the people in Dexter really dont possess abilities beyond a normal human, for example Dexter had to train hard to subdue other killers and study which targets to catch and how to leave little or no evidence behind. everything is not easy when ur a serial killer vigalante.MrPacheco101 06:06, December 11, 2010 (UTC)

I'm out of school for the next month, so I may be able to find the time to watch it. By the way, I know it's been a while since you suggested this, but now would be a good time to add the quotes section on the character pages if you still want to. I'll leave it to you, or I can do it when I finish some other stuff.

Have u watch Dexter yet?MrPacheco101 23:40, January 1, 2011 (UTC)

No, I've actually been spending a lot of my free time working on scanlation stuff. I really haven't gotten much done that I planned to over my break. This wiki still needs around 50+ new pages, and it's getting a bit overwhelming without Donutsonfire. I'm not sure where he is, but I'm assuming he's not coming back. Anyway, I think I only have the first half of the most recent season on my DVR, so I may just start watching when the next season starts.Turambar1  02:13, January 2, 2011 (UTC)

Inactivity
Hello Turambar!

Sorry I couldn't have gotten the information to you sooner, but I came down with a bad case of mono and i was hospitalized in the past few weeks. I only managed to get my hands on some internet a few days ago and I didn't haven enough time to check out the wikia as I was knee deep in assignments and course materials. Anyways I got it under control now. I will be discharged from the hospital within the next...i think week...so I'll be ready to start editing and stuff next thursday or something like that. I hope my absence wasn't too big of an impact and left you guys with a bunch of work

Sorry for thee inconvenience,

70.79.173.23 00:40, December 9, 2010 (UTC)

Other Work
okay since we're gonna add other work from the creators of HOTD into this wiki, should we add a Misc. Characters category for the characters from Fire!Fire!Fire! and Triage X so they won't get confused with characters from HOTD?

P.S. this should probably be done once the other current projects are finished.

MrPacheco101 02:19, December 12, 2010 (UTC)

I think the best way to do it is to have a single page for each series with general information (possibly a separate characters page and chapters page for Triage X; similar to typical Wikipedia sereis pages). We don't need to focus too much on the other series, but we can provide some supplemental information. I've actually been thinking about starting a Triage X wiki when I have time. I can't start one for Fire Fire Fire since there are only two chapters translated that I know of. We should definitely wait until more of the projects are completed. There are around 10-15 other projects which I will begin listing when some of the others are complete, and that is one of them, so the time will come fairly soon.Turambar1  03:42, December 12, 2010 (UTC)

I understand what ur saying, but i think starting a triage wiki dosne't sound like a good idea for now, i think we should put all works by the creators in this wiki for now just like the guys from Hellsing wiki do

Yeah starting the Triage X wiki is a low priority for me right now, but I'll probably do it when this wiki is more complete. As I said though, we only need a page for each series, and probably a separate page for Triage X characters. This is the HOTD wiki, after all.Turambar1  04:17, December 12, 2010 (UTC)

Triage X
yo i made a page for Triage X in deadliest fiction, i want u to give me ur honest opinon on the page and tell me what you think.

http://deadliestfiction.wikia.com/wiki/Black_Label_Organization

MrPacheco101 05:24, December 14, 2010 (UTC)

It looks pretty good. All the necessary information is there. It's cool you're putting them up against the Fraternity since I've always thought the BLO was similar to that group. By the way, what do you think about the new main page layout? I'll probably change a few things, but I need another person's opinion first. Turambar1  17:24, December 14, 2010 (UTC)

I think the layout is well organized, you put everything that needs to be there and if u put more sexy photos of the HOTD girls i think more members will come by to see the sight lol :P

P.S. thank u for ur opinion i really appreciated it. and plus The BLO vs. The Fraternity was one of those battles ive been dying to do.

MrPacheco101 23:04, December 14, 2010 (UTC)

hey FYI whenever ur ready to make th Triage X page, u can use my article to start of the character info if u want.MrPacheco101 03:47, December 16, 2010 (UTC)

All right I'll keep that in mind. I'm going to create more of the universe (locations, weapons, etc.) and author pages before I worry about the other series pages though.Turambar1  03:56, December 16, 2010 (UTC)

Quotes
hey can u do me a favor? can u do the quote pages for Shizuka, Kohta, and Takashi for me whenever u have the time.MrPacheco101 04:40, December 17, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah I'll get them done tomorrow sometime. HOTDcups posted the raw scans for the HOTD artbook that came with the last issue of Dragon Age, so I've been cleaning, editing, and joining those to release a higher quality version. I'm almost done, so I should have plenty of time to get stuff done here tomorrow.Turambar1  06:54, December 17, 2010 (UTC)

Ello'!

Soz,i've been discharged from the hospital and all ready to start editing!

Mind telling me what fun i've been missing out on?

174.7.78.138 22:14, December 21, 2010 (UTC)

That's good to hear. I created a Current Projects page so you can go there to get an idea of what's going on. I created several templates combined in one large template for the main page. From now on, you'll have to edit one of those templates to edit the corresponding section on the main page. Just go into "source" when editing the main page to see a list of the templates.

The biggest thing going on right now is the "Universe" project which involves creating pages for all locations, weapons, events, etc. in HOTD. I haven't done much yet, but there is a page for Fujimi Academy and a few pages for guns which you can refer to.

Basically, you should check the current projects page to see everything as it's too much to describe here. I haven't done much in a couple days because I've been working on scanlations. I'm helping HOTDcups do all of the volumes starting with 6. By the way, he posted the art book if you didn't already know, and I cleaned and joined all pages. You can download it at my new blog

So that's about it for now. I'll be on a lot now since I just finished most of what I was working on. It'll be nice to have you here helping us out. It's been a lot of work, and there aren't many other editors.Turambar1  00:29, December 22, 2010 (UTC)

Feliz Navidad!
Feliz Navidad ! Turambar! thanks for being such a great host to this wiki and i hope u have a great new year.

p.s. i finally found a goood song for the closing of the last episode for hotd what do u think?

thumb|left|300px|The Roots-Sacrifice

MrPacheco101 15:09, December 25, 2010 (UTC)

Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you as well. Thank you for being pretty much the only other active editor on this wiki.

As far as rap goes, I think that song would be pretty good for the end of episode 12. Turambar1  15:56, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

No prob, any time u need anything just give me call.MrPacheco101 01:41, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

Is there some kind of batch command option?
Something I realized: on the character pages in the little windows with the character brief, it would probably be better to write "Japanese" instead of "Kanji" where the character's names are, as not all the characters have names in kanji (most notably, Alice and Kohta).

Yeah, that's something I noticed when I was translating. I looked on other wikis and saw that they just put "Kanji" so I went with that. You can change it on all of the infoboxes if you want. If you do, try to change "Romanji" to "Romaji" on the boxes that haven't already been changed since that is the proper romanization.

As for the batch command, I'm assuming you mean a way to change all of them at once. That can be changed by editing the template page, but the custom character template I created isn't on all of the pages yet, and I never input specific information since different characters have different info available. If you want to wait, I'll get around to this eventually.

It's great to have you here Hotdcups. I'm glad you're joining our community. By the way, remember to sign your posts with four tildes (or just click the "Signature" button).Turambar1  14:58, December 28, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I think I fixed them all. It's certainly possible I missed one or two though.Hotdcups 07:11, January 2, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for doing that. I'll fix any you may have missed if I come across them. I won't be able to confirm the Japanese and romanization errors though, so hopefuly you caught all of those.Turambar1  04:48, January 3, 2011 (UTC)

Actually there was a problem with all the names, which was that there was a space between the last and first name. Japanese doesn't use spaces, so separating names with spaces is incorrect. I didn't notice any other errors though.Hotdcups 05:00, January 3, 2011 (UTC)

Oh I guess I forgot about that when I was translating. Thanks for catching it.Turambar1  05:10, January 3, 2011 (UTC)

Wow!
Hey Turumbar1, The wiki looks much better now. My PC went on a death trip and killed itself so I've had to slowly buy a new one though now i'm running 3x faster. Just letting you know I'll start editing again when I have a chance, don't blame you for starting a new Wikia though Spegx1 was a bit slack on the management side of things, Happy new year. Deathcloud 09:05, December 28, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, it's great to have you back, Deathcloud. I'm glad you like the new look of the wiki, though it's still far from complete. There were a lot of issues with the old admin that went beyond him not being around much, so the move was really the best option we had. Anyway, welcome back to the community, and Happy New Year to you as well.Turambar1  15:07, December 28, 2010 (UTC)

About the character summaries
Is it just me, or are they way too long? I know you probably want in-depth info, but it seems like a lot of them are needlessly wordy and many of the pages seem like they're way bigger than they need to be. I feel like the little details aren't all that necessary in describing situations. For example, on Saya's page, I feel like:

"Saya, Kohta, Saeko and Shizuka walk away from Onbetsu bridge and eventually meet up with Takashi and Rei, who are riding towards the bridge. Takashi tells Saeko he is glad to see her, and Saya gets angry, asking,"What about me?" The group decides to go to Shizuka's friend Rika's house, and when Saya says she wants to take a shower there, Kohta smugly says "yeah", and she kicks him. When they get to Rika's house, they encounter a group of "them", and Saya gives Takashi a crowbar to fight with."

could effectively be cut down to something like

"Saya and the others meet up with Takashi and Rei, and they decide to stay the night at Rika's house."

It just seems to me like these pages are like a full transcription of everything going on in the manga, which is probably a little much and is way too much to read. It's a summary, so it doesn't need to be written in a way that maintains every bit of information as the original. It's just the important things that matter.

I just want to know if this is the kind of thing you'd be okay with me editing down, or if you prefer the lengthy summaries.Hotdcups 07:09, January 2, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I agree some of them run on a little long. Our goal when we wrote them was to basically retell the story from that character's perspective, but I guess we (mostly I) got carried away with the details. If you want to edit them down, I have no problem with it as long as you leave them at least around half as long. You probably don't need to rewrite everything, but rather cut out and reword some stuff. If you could find some kind of middle ground between a brief summary of events and a meticulous retelling of the story, that would be great.

I know this is already a large undertaking, but if you find yourself wanting to do more, you could finish the summaries for Alice and Shizuka. Our other admin, Donutsonfire, was supposed to do them, but he's been mostly inactive since October. I'm assuming he's not coming back anytime soon, so I've been looking for someone else to do those summaries. It's all right if you don't want to, but it would certainly help out a lot.Turambar1  16:19, January 2, 2011 (UTC)

GOING TO JAPANNNNNN
Hello Turambar!

Sorry I couldn't get anything done over the holidays...I was too busy with a lot of other things :P!! Anyways, Happy New Year!!! LOL....Well i'll be going to Japan for the next school semester as part of an exchange program! Hopefully i can get more HOTD stuff while there! I'll be always an email away and just let me know if you want anything urgent done kk?

Hope you had a good holiday!!!

Donutsonfire XD

Well I hope you have a good time over there. I'd like to go to Japan for a while, but I won't have a chance to until I graduate. It would be great if you could find some time to start editing again while you're over there; even if it's just when new chapters are released. The momentum around here slowed down considerably when you stopped editing, and it hasn't really picked up since then. It'd be nice to have another month like last September because there's a lot that needs to be done.

I hope your holiday's been good too. The only problem I had with mine is it was about a month too short. I'm taking 18 hours next semester (the most my school will allow), so I'm kind of dreading going back.<font color="darkred" size="2px">Turambar1  20:46, January 3, 2011 (UTC)

Get the HOTD DVDs Donut definetly get those.MrPacheco101 04:35, January 4, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, you should definitely take advantage of that. I wish I had the opportunity to go over there and buy all the stuff I've been wanting to buy without paying $40 per order for shipping. On the other hand, it probably wouldn't be worth the travel expenses. You're lucky you're going in an exchange program.<font color="darkred" size="2px">Turambar1  04:54, January 4, 2011 (UTC)

I don't mean to sound like a beggar or something, but if you can find the extra items that were included with each of the HOTD manga volumes that would be awesome, because almost none of them have been scanned and they're virtually impossible to get outside of Japan. Your best bet for finding stuff like that would be in Akihabara or online. Places like Mandarake sometimes sell sets of items like that.Hotdcups 05:01, January 4, 2011 (UTC)
