Arent the Istruttori supposed to be voting on featured and good stuff? Lucy's page has been in the voting proccess for way to long, just go and say yay or nay already!

Spying on Abstergo

So when does she start spying on Abstergo? The article makes no mention of when it started, as it makes it seem she was unaware of their secret agenda. I would assume she would be an assassin since birth too. Im just confused since it sounds like she just ended up working for them. Miumaru 06:17, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

She probably started off working for them, spying from the beginning. I'm not sure when exactly that was chronologically, but she was definitely an assassin long before she went to Abstergo. You can tell because when you get to the assassin hideout in AC2 Rebeca hugs Lucy and says something like "it's been 6 years." Not 100% sure about what the exact quote was, but I know it was about 4-7 years. -- JFHavoc ^(Talk) 06:30, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Death

Okay, so it was said thet Lucy dies during Brotherhood. I was wondering if anyone could back that up anywhere right now. I put this into the trivia section, and three minutes later it was deleted:

"It has been rumored that Lucy dies during the Moder-Day events in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. As Ubisoft has said that Desmond's story is supposed to "take an interesting turn", this may be the cause." (excuse the misspelling of Modern, as I didn't noticed it until after I submitted the change; the point was deleted before I could fix it, however)

What do you guys (and gals) think? A.J. two 18:12, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

That's still a big assumption, just because they hinted it would take an interesting turn for Desmond. It could be other reasons. Things to do with his ancestors and such. We can't put in rumours that go between forums and such. If Ubisoft hinted more something might happen with Lucy, then that would have at least have been a more fair assumption. Altaïr 20:16, 31 July, 2010 (UTC)

The only reson I know about it is because, a few days back, an anon put it into the trivia section on the Main Brotherhood article. I figured if someone just up and came up with it (even in bad spelling), then it had to have been said somewhere. Even if it was on a Forum, they wouldn't have been talking about it unless the person who started the thread had some kind of proof, even if really little. I figured it would be something worth checking into, but my computer hates a lot of websites, so I don't know if I would be able to view the thread when (and if) I find it. That's mainly the reason why I made this. A.J. two 18:23, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

I thank you would be surprised how far fans can speculate, and what they'll speculate about. Really it can almost come from nowhere, just like the line you said, that it would take a drastic turn for Desmond. From that alone you would take something emotional is going to happen to Desmond, and the first thing that pops in your head is that something is going to happen to Lucy, which he cares about, and likely loves. What are the things that could happen? Kidnapping... Death. Things I can speculate about out of my own head because of just that one line. So, they don't need more sources at all to "assume" Lucy is going to die. -- Altaïr 20:38, 31 July, 2010 (UTC)

Good point. A.J. two 19:03, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

On an completely unrelated note, why does it take you to Metroid Wiki when you press the button in the template at the top of the page? Did Cello originally get the template from there and never fixed the link? A.J. two 19:05, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

I relegate the template management to other users. Maybe some of them copyed the infobox from there. (what link takes you to metroid wiki oO)? -- D. Cello 19:44, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

The edit section: "Put new text under old text. Click here to start a new topic." That link goes to the Metroid wiki, instead of creating a new section here. A.J. two 19:50, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I tried to fix it, but now it only points to the article, instead of giving you the option to edit it. Any ideas Stringed Instrument? A.J. two 20:01, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

I SO have no idea what you're talking about.. oO See, that's why we need Progetisti!! -- D. Cello 20:04, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

Instead of automatically going to the edit screen with a new section (like the "leave a new message" buttons), it just comes to the talk page. I tried to fix it, but I couldn't get it to work, so I gave up. I haven't been here long enough to know who is good with coding, so I don't know who to ask about it.

P.S. And aren't you supposed to know everything about the wiki, oh Holy Harp? :P A.J. two 20:08, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

I was a quarterback in school, "crazy computer coding" wasn't in my requirement sheet ;D -- D. Cello 20:09, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

I'm not even done with school yet :). I know my way around a computer, but I haven't been on Wikia long enough to learn all the coding involved, which is why I usually copy. A.J. two 20:15, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

Well if you guys like I could hunt down an old buddy of mine (that just so happens to be an AC fan as well, I got my copy of the first one from him for my birthday :D) that does a pretty darn good job at coding. He sure confuses me with his "code-talk", and I've seen some of the lines of code he's worked on, that stuff is intricant. XD What do you guys think? (that is, of course, if he's not already here under an assumed name, darn us Assassins for being discreet. *shifty eyes*) Assassin-Rayne 22:31, September 28, 2010 (UTC)

What about people who haven't completed the game?

I don't know how I'm gonna play AC III if Lucy actually died, wouldn't be the same without her. 114.77.151.72 09:33, November 20, 2010 (UTC)

Article Tense

Refering to writing, we consider what happens today 2010 in RL and 2012 in-game universe to be the current time frame. She is a assassin and that status is passive, only due to change if she interferes. Therefore, in 2012 she is still a assassin, so that bit can be written as present. -- D. Cello 22:38, August 16, 2010 (UTC)

@Jasca

"Ezio's story hasn't ended either, are you saying we have to put "is" everywhere on his article as well? Coz we're gonna have to put "will be" on this article... past tense across the board solves it"

Um, mate.. Ezio's story and death ended/happened centuries ago... so it's past tense.. Lucy's story is happening at that moment in the game, while Ezio's has already happened and they're just reliving his experiences.. like what Cello said.. XD The Thief 05:54, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

• • Which Source says Ezio died? Just like Altair, his death is only assumed, not set in stone. And when I said his story is not yet over, I'm referring to the fact that Brotherhood has yet to be released, and so technically, his story is not yet finished. --Jasca Ducato _{Council Chamber} ^{Assassination record} 14:30, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

Indeed, but that doesn't change the fact that everything we know happened in the past. -- D. Cello 15:18, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

And 2012 is in the future… so by that standing, we should be writing "such and such will be a member of the Assassin's order" or whatever. --Jasca Ducato _{Council Chamber} ^{Assassination record} 12:31, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

I already said that the present time is the game's present time. In-universe is in-universe, real life is real life. -- D. Cello 17:47, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

And in real-life, 2012 is in the future. I'm fine with having "Lucy Stillman is…" in the article if that's what people want, but we need to have a consensus on tense soon, otherwise people will be putting "is" on every article on the wiki. --Jasca Ducato _{Council Chamber} ^{Assassination record} 18:57, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

Indeed. If you want to make a policy like the one you did for sourcing, you're more than welcomed and allowed to, Jasca. It would prevent lots of misunderstandings. -- D. Cello 19:42, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

Well whatever we/you decide, remember that the present is still considered the most recent date mentioned in-game. Just make a policy that states that, exactly pretty much. Just by saying what I just said, should make it pretty clear what should be referred to as past-tense and present tense, heh --Piratehunter (Talk•Contribs) 20:16, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

Lucy's Abilites

So, I just read Lucy's trivia and it says she has similar free running abilities like Desmond and his ancestors. Does that imply that she is a hybrid too or just really good at scaling walls and jumping to greater heights? If so, Juno made Desmond kill his 'Eve' if she weren't a traitor. Well, Rosa was extremely agile, but she wasn't a hybrid. Strang3Happ3nings 00:35, November 24, 2010 (UTC)
