MP characters

Helloooooo. I've been wondering. Is the Pioneer the woman in pink or the guy with ragged clothes. I was also watching some vidoes of the Multiplayer and there are other characters like the Lookout, Mole and Spy. It's also common that they all use bayonets, which kind of act like spears, lol. Please reply, thanks. TemplarAgent (talk) 22:58, July 17, 2012 (UTC)

Given what I've seen from the video description, and going from what the Footpad was like, I'd expect the Robber to be the young looking guy with the blonde hair, and the Pioneer to be the woman with the rifle.

Considering that there's been no info depicting the Mole, Decoy, Lookout and Spy as little more that non-player characters (NPCs) for the Wolf Pack mode, I don't think they'd need their own pages. It would be best, I feel, to put any information there, unless we get some evidence that we can play as them. Slate Vesper (talk) 23:23, July 17, 2012 (UTC)

Well If found someone playing as a person in blue, but I don't remember which is which, lol. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIYKL59NcK8 @ 1:24 TemplarAgent (talk) 23:37, July 17, 2012 (UTC)

Well, I'm not quite sure about the Spy now, since it looked like there was a kill with a rifle with a guy in blue (as you've said) that looked similar. For the time being though, let's wait for more information. Slate Vesper (talk) 23:45, July 17, 2012 (UTC)

'nor' vs 'or'

Um pardon? But 'neither' is accompanied by 'nor' as to signify that both opts mentioned are not as the context. 'Or' is for 'either' to say that both is as the context mentioned. Sanguinoraptor the Blood Thief. Roar at. 12:50, July 19, 2012 (UTC)

Unneeded

That isn't needed? Then why is it there in a similar manner in pages like, this? IlMualim ^{Wanna Chat?} 19:48, July 19, 2012 (UTC)

If I may say, I am totally on your side, IlMualim. The Leaping Eagle (talk) 21:44, July 19, 2012 (UTC)

You don't need to put them in brackets with "English" next to it. You can simply put the other version in some commas and bold it.

When it comes to Bartolomeo's quarters, there's little point translating it since the article says that it's his quarters right after the Italian name. Slate Vesper (talk) 22:30, July 19, 2012 (UTC)

That's a good point, actually. But I'm sure there's some fool who has no idea what it translates to, and don't we strive to give as much info as possible? The Leaping Eagle (talk) 22:38, July 19, 2012 (UTC)

It's not a great leap of the imagination to figure out what it's supposed to mean, and for more complex translations, their English version will be bolded afterwards. Slate Vesper (talk) 22:40, July 19, 2012 (UTC)

No, it doesn't take that much intelligence. :D You are a more accomlished editor than I am, so you may be right. If you think that it's unnecessary, fair enough. The Leaping Eagle (talk) 22:49, July 19, 2012 (UTC)

K, you have a point. You don't need to be a genius to figure out Quartier means quarters (or more technically headquarters). -- IlMualim ^{Wanna Chat?} 02:53, July 20, 2012 (UTC)

Hello, Vesper! Thank you for the explanation of that "Alex Hutchinson jab at the marketing team" video that I asked about!189.62.7.34 23:40, August 4, 2012 (UTC)

Fanon

Thanks for helping me with the templates but say something next time. I was in the middle of typing and it didn't save. a message told me it was because someone changed the page before I could. Some warning please.

CreedOfAll (talk) 00:47, August 6, 2012 (UTC)

Ah, sorry about that. You could always go back a page and copy out what you typed, and then paste it back in afterwards. Slate Vesper (talk) 00:52, August 6, 2012 (UTC)

I tried that, now I having problems copying and pasting things on the page. I can't copy things on Assassin's Creed Wiki now.

CreedOfAll (talk) 01:18, August 6, 2012 (UTC)

At the top of the editor, there should be two options, "Source" and "Visual". I would advise you to use Source, since it allows you to copy and paste things in easier (without needing to use Ctrl functions). Slate Vesper (talk) 01:34, August 6, 2012 (UTC)

Query

Slaaaaaaaaaate. Slaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate.

Why did ya remove all the vids during the walkthrough revamp? I asked Sima if they were ok there before putting them in. --Kainzorus Prime ^{Walkie-talkie} 02:10, August 9, 2012 (UTC)

It was Teller. See.. --VATSA (TALK • GENTEK) 05:46, August 9, 2012 (UTC)

fanon in mainspace?

noticed this fannon page which appears to be created on the mainspace rather than in the fanon area, if it is on the mainsapce it should probably be moved, hence why im asking one of the fanon staff. Ægritudo _Talk 23:03, August 24, 2012 (UTC)

Done. Slate Vesper (talk) 23:13, August 24, 2012 (UTC)

Tomahawk

I realize my edit may have been a bit ambiguous and apologize for that. I was referring to the part about the "menial tasks, such as cutting a rope." I can't seem to find that anywhere in the GI article. ~ GI Auditore ^{Comms Channel} 13:51, August 28, 2012 (UTC)

You can see it during the Boston gameplay demo. Connor takes out his tomahawk and chops at the rope for a lift, bringing him to the rooftop. I suppose that part could be sourced better. Slate Vesper (talk) 14:24, August 28, 2012 (UTC)

Redcoat render

Redcoat render V2

I've recently uploaded a different one. Which one do you think looks better on the article? =) ~ GI Auditore ^{Comms Channel} 14:14, August 28, 2012 (UTC)

The render will always take the place of concept art when it comes to the image at the top of the article, and then the concept image can be placed in the gallery at the bottom. Take the Thespian for example. Slate Vesper (talk) 14:24, August 28, 2012 (UTC)

Mind taking a look at Ye Olde Box o'Sand? Thanks. =) ~ GI Auditore ^{Comms Channel} 14:04, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

Just have, and it's nicely formatted. :) Slate Vesper (talk) 15:21, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

Assassin's Creed Initiates

Excuse me, I see you erased the Assassin's Creed Initiates article I had written with another version, possibly yours. I don't mind, but you should add the various sections of the website, considering Initiates isn't simply a tracking website.ValTekken 15:39, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

While that may be true, there is a link to the website at the bottom of the page, and to be quite honest, it's not like we need to mention that it has a shop and forums. I do suppose labelling it as a community-oriented website would be sufficient however. Slate Vesper (talk) 15:42, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

Ok, then. Still think at least a "Forums" section is needed. And yes, the second version of the article was mine. I had modified it 51 minutes ago, and you modified it later, 36 minutes ago. I don't mind, but I think I'll stop writing articles, though.ValTekken 15:49, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

I wouldn't be discouraged from writing articles. The Wiki appreciates those that are driven on expanding the knowledge of the Assassin's Creed series, but it's also open-source for those who refine that for others' benefit, so that's why I edited a better version in, courtesy of our user Gabriel Auditore.

I have recently added a little more to the opening paragraph of the article, making sure to mention the forums and the Ubiworkshop store. I hope you stick around and add more to the Wiki however. :) Slate Vesper (talk) 15:55, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

I will surely stick around, read and edit here and there, but I think writing articles just isn't my thing. I don't know formatting, templates and the various tools, I can barely put up a good structure...yeah, I would fail most certainly. Thanks for the encouragement anyway.ValTekken 16:04, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

Well, where exactly can I find it? Because it would help when it comes to adding a source to the image. Also, next time when you reply to someone on their talk page, remember to sign your posts by typing out ~~~~. Slate Vesper (talk) 21:52, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

Slate, I found it. It's cropped from the image here under the Ubishop tab. We might get a better res soon. ~ GI Auditore ^{Comms Channel} 01:11, September 3, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, I can render it now, knowing where the original source is. Slate Vesper (talk) 01:16, September 3, 2012 (UTC)

MP question

I have another question. Since the ACR MP, the characters are more diverse, with their own voices in taunting, yelling/screaming when getting killed and moaning/groaning when dazed by a contested kill. And I was thinking, do they have their own voice actors or are just made on computer or something, lol. TemplarAgent (talk) 01:02, September 3, 2012 (UTC)

Do you know how hard it would be to replicate a realistic human voice on a computer?

Yes, they use voice actors. Slate Vesper (talk) 01:04, September 3, 2012 (UTC)

Congrats Slate! *puts on bad mercenary impression* "First round is on me!"

Thanks very much the two of you, it's really appreciated. Also, if it's okay Gabe, can I make a page for this so I can shorten down the code needed, or would you prefer me to keep the code private?

You can go ahead, I considered doing it myself, but didn't think I was supposed to go around creating Template pages every time I made a userbox =P ~ GI Auditore ^{Comms Channel} 14:43, September 3, 2012 (UTC)

Well, it would be helpful if you do, though I wouldn't go crazy on making them. They'd sort of lose their credibility if that happened. Slate Vesper (talk) 14:46, September 3, 2012 (UTC)

Randomness

Hey man, after awhile of no incidents. I'm just checking on the wiki's I used to edit on and you were one of the "last" people to reply to me lol (Back in March or April? I dunno.) Anyway this message by far is random and that I just need something to kickstart motivation again haha. Zephalian (Dossier) (Briefing) 11:22, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

Okay? Slate Vesper (talk) 00:15, September 13, 2012 (UTC)

About that man! Hahahaha. All the jitters down and I'm ready to edit again...I hope my grammar improved this time from last time hah. Zephalian (Dossier) (Briefing)

I do too. Slate Vesper (talk) 12:49, September 14, 2012 (UTC)

Initiates

Hey Slate; it's "make sure there's no survivor" as in "make sure there is no survivor." I know "there are no survivors" sounds better, but technically, Ubi is grammatically correct here and we should stick to what they've written (since it's error free). No offense intended mate =) ~ GI Auditore ^{Comms Channel} 10:27, September 13, 2012 (UTC)

Ubisoft are not grammatically error free, and we should not expect them to be. So if that means fixing a tiny spelling error on the wiki, even if Ubisoft was the one to make it, I don't see the harm in it.

For the record, I didn't change it to "there are no survivors", I just added the "s", since it fixes the phrase. "Make sure there's no survivor." would be wrong. Slate Vesper (talk) 10:32, September 13, 2012 (UTC)

"Make sure there is no survivors"? I'm aware that Ubisoft aren't grammatically error free, but could you just go over the sentence again? I know it's kind of trivial, but it kind of feels like we're fixing something that isn't broken. ~ GI Auditore ^{Comms Channel} 10:36, September 13, 2012 (UTC)

When you're asking if there are any survivors, you wouldn't use a singular term, because then there'd be little point in asking if you were aware there was only one. Also, in this case, "there's" is grammatically correct, even if the longer version makes less sense. Personally, I don't get why "there's" suits better than "they're" in the event of a plural usage, given the reasoning behind it, but it just works better grammatically I suppose. Slate Vesper (talk) 10:48, September 13, 2012 (UTC)

My catgory addition

That edit of mine you un-did, was an example of my occasional stupidity. I should have read more than just the title. :L

Sorry for wasting your time in reading this, but I just thought I should assure you that it wasn't intentional vandalism. :P Crimson Knight _Intercom 15:12, September 14, 2012 (UTC)

That's okay. Just try not to do it in the future. Slate Vesper (talk) 15:15, September 14, 2012 (UTC)

I don't quite understand...

"Since I'm monitoring the Recent Wiki Activity, that message has to unfortunately be returned to sender." I'm sorry for this, but what seems to be the problem? Have I done something wrong? Crimson Knight _Intercom 14:55, September 16, 2012 (UTC)

Playing messenger for a banned user, and the message being a giant "fuck you" sign. Yes, you did do something wrong.

Ideally, I should give you an official warning for that, but I'm going to be merciful this time. If some other staff member wants to deliver the official warning though, that's up to them. Slate Vesper (talk) 14:59, September 16, 2012 (UTC)

If you really want to play messenger, you can now tell Joker that his block has been expanded by a year. This is completely inappropriate and unacceptable. Someone should teach him how to behave on the internet, since he breaks the rules on every website he goes to and gets banned. -- Master Sima Yi _Talk 15:02, September 16, 2012 (UTC)

I'm not trying to be a smartass, but I don't really want to be a messenger. I anticipated that one of us would be punished, and I think I warned him, or was about to, of the consequences. This'll be the last of this you'll hear from me. I hope so, anyway. Let's not flood Slate with messages, I now what that's like. Crimson Knight _Intercom 15:09, September 16, 2012 (UTC)

I really have no problem with you playing messenger, it was the message itself that was inappropriate. You aren't punished, but you don't need to leave Joker's message when you know you really shouldn't. -- Master Sima Yi _Talk 15:14, September 16, 2012 (UTC)

Noted. I wasn't personally trying to insult FTGM (love the guy), I just felt he should know that someone was needlessly bashing him. In future, Joker can find a way that doesn't involve me. Crimson Knight _Intercom 15:20, September 16, 2012 (UTC)

England's article changes

I don't see why the edits I was making were "unneeded" or warranted undoing. The first edit I made was to change the expression "constituent of the modern united kingdom" to "constituent country" to clarify what "constituent" meant. By referring to England as a constituent of the UK, it is unclear what it actually is - is it a constituent province? Is it actually a country? Is it just Britain with another name? Constituent country is also the official term used for England, Scotland and Wales.

The second edit I made was to change "British Parliament" to "English Parliament", a correction of something that is incorrect.This is because there was no British parliament during the English Civil War - England and Scotland both had their own parliaments right up until 1707, well after the war had ended. It could be argued that Cromwell's efforts were the progenitor to the creation of Great Britain, but he was clear in naming his new state the Protectorate of England, not Britain, UK etc. Even though his institutions were British in function they were English in name and intent.

Could you explain to me why both of these edits are unneeded? Owlbread (talk) 17:03, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

I don't mind you changing it to British Parliament, but you could have stated exactly why in the article summary, it would have made it easier.

However, England is referred to as a "country" earlier in the opening paragraph, so "constituent country" sounds out of place. Slate Vesper (talk) 17:10, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

A question

Hi Slate. About a week ago, I was looking through the pictures on each of the ACIII MP characters' pages, and on the one on the Pioneer's page ([is the picture in question]), and I noticed that I don't recognize the person to her right who's assassinating the other NPC. I had left a comment on the talk page, but I guess nobody saw it, or didn't have anything to say. However, I mentioned it to Nesty the other day, and she directed me to you and said that you were more knowledgeable on the subject, so here I am. Can you tell if that's a character we've already seen, or is it someone we don't know about yet? A.J. two (talk) 02:36, September 30, 2012 (UTC)

To me, it looks like a customized Carpenter. Slate Vesper (talk) 02:57, September 30, 2012 (UTC)

DLC

Do you think Limited Edition and Uplay content should be removed from the DLC lists for the other games too? Alientraveller (talk) 19:17, October 3, 2012 (UTC)

No. The reason I removed that stuff from AC3 DLC is because at this point in time, they're just pre-order content. That means that they only require a code to be input for the characters/memories to be unlocked on disc.

The pre-order content can be re-added once they're incorporated into a downloadable content addition, with The Lost Archive being an example. Slate Vesper (talk) 19:31, October 3, 2012 (UTC)

Caption boxes

Is there a particular reason you're removing the caption boxes from those images, leaving us with just a floating picture on each page? --Jasca Ducato _{Council Chamber} ^{Assassination record} 22:35, October 17, 2012 (UTC)

The multiplayer character pages refer that they're an Animi Avatar used by Abstergo Industries, and the picture shows them off. I haven't removed the description so that if anyone scrolled over it, they could still see it, but it just seems a waste to render out the background in the pictures for transparency and then have a black box take up what we tried to remove.

I don't object to their "real-world" characters having the caption box, since it could develop into a character infobox, but it seems a bit pointless to have a box that says "This guy is the Robber" when the page and the description refer to them as the Robber, for example. Slate Vesper (talk) 22:44, October 17, 2012 (UTC)

Removed fanon

I left a question in the Daniel Cross talk page. Why did you remove it? The Great Dog Demon 20:45, October 19, 2012 (UTC)

I removed it because it was removed before by Vatsa, who told you to use the forums. Talk pages are used on the AC Wiki to discuss changes to the article. Speculative questions are what the forums are used for, and it isn't hard to make one. Slate Vesper (talk) 20:52, October 19, 2012 (UTC)
