FA

Hey there Guard! Ezio passed as an FA, and since you did a lot of work on it, I figured I'd let you know so you could put the userbox on your page ;) I trust you know the code by now :) Nesty ^{Contact me!} 08:55, February 17, 2012 (UTC)

Yep, I do - Thanks for the heads up, Nesty ;) =GuardDog 13:42, February 17, 2012 (UTC)

IRC

It begins... =D -- 'R BlaiddDdraig ^{Enter... THE SCARY DOOR} 03:29, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

So it does... with my missing you as usual, sorry XD I've just started my finals week, but I'll be very free as soon as it's over. =GuardDog 14:02, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

Fuck that, I'm not waiting a week XD. It's a pretty simple question, would you be interested in taking -S- as an Apprentice? Don't feel pressured to take him because I already have other people interested, but I'm asking all the free Masters just to keep it fair and give everyone a chance. -- 'R BlaiddDdraig ^{Enter... THE SCARY DOOR} 14:29, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

Eh, talking about it here works too XD And sure, I wouldn't mind taking him on. Whatever he (or you) prefers is fine with me. =GuardDog 14:34, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

IRC, when you're available. -- 'R BlaiddDdraig ^{Funk Man's Funky House of Funk} 05:46, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

Sure, I'll be on a few hours today. =GuardDog 02:36, April 24, 2012 (UTC)

If

If I may intrude for a second, I see ALOT of shared knowledge about the games on this site. I am however troubled that not once is there a reference to the true Assassin order that existed in Masayaf. I am refering to the Hashishin.

I am also wondering if any "Die Hard" fan is willing to travel with me to masayaf in the near future as a pilgrimage to the true Assassins that helped write the history that drives the series of games, books, and short films. I am very serious and dedicated. I am no editor, no apprentice, no blogger, ets... I have my mark, my brand. My loyalty is to the preservation of piece by any means available. Here is a link to a new guild: https://www.facebook.com/groups/391943417486272/ I am open to all inquiries and suggestions. Thank you fellow Assassins for your time and loyalty.Remember to honor the creed, and that Nothing is true, Everything is permitted.

- Sincerely, Michael Vanderburg Aeiyorne Dei

Francesco Vecellio

Just letting you know, Francesco Vecellio has made it to FA. Good job, and you know the code for the template ;) Nesty ^{Contact me!} 19:06, March 3, 2012 (UTC)

Ah great, thanks for telling me :D =GuardDog 23:59, March 4, 2012 (UTC)

-S-

Hey GD, I stalled this decision for a while cus I had an awesome master scheme revolving around it, but the key part of it has kinda failed so I've got to do this the boring way. But in words you will understand, I've decided to give -S- to you as an Apprentice. I'll leave him a message detailing the switch and then I'll let you take it from there. -- 'R BlaiddDdraig ^{Enter... THE SCARY DOOR} 15:21, March 7, 2012 (UTC)

Nah, the boring way works :p Anyway, you got it Rafiq, it'd be my pleasure. I'll go leave him a note over at his pigeon coop then. =GuardDog 15:05, March 8, 2012 (UTC)

Platform

Hey Guard, quick question, what platform do you play on? Master Decoder 08:25, March 9, 2012 (UTC)

I play on the PS3. Why d'you ask? =GuardDog 08:25, March 9, 2012 (UTC)

I was gonna see if you'd help me with a quick mp achievement, but I play on Xbox Master Decoder 08:27, March 9, 2012 (UTC)

Ah okay - good luck to you then :p =GuardDog 08:29, March 9, 2012 (UTC)

Minor characters

Hey Guard, after replaying through Brotherhood a little, I remembered that there was two characters by the name of Livia and Mina that were killed by the Templar agents Il Carnefice and Malfatto. Do you think that they require an article, even if it is a stub? Slate Vesper 16:30, March 27, 2012 (UTC)

Hm, I don't recall Livia, but Mina is listed in the Courtesans page, under known members. Personally, I think they deserve an article, as long as it's complete as possible :) =GuardDog 16:33, March 27, 2012 (UTC)

Let's get rolling

Since I can get back here on a proper basis now, and Sima is raging that I've left you hanging, we can get rolling with the next apprentice assignment when you're ready. Kainzorus Prime ^{Walkie-talkie} 22:29, April 29, 2012 (UTC)

That's great. I'll have something up later today or early tomorrow, just keep an eye on the coop. =GuardDog 04:00, April 30, 2012 (UTC)

Sorry that it's going so slow, I'll pick up the pace in two days or so. University work connected with getting the BA next month takes priority. --Kainzorus Prime ^{Walkie-talkie} 13:59, May 18, 2012 (UTC)

No worries, S, it's your apprenticeship. While no other potential apprentices need me, the assignments are just waiting for you. =GuardDog 14:08, May 18, 2012 (UTC)

Guards revamp

Hey Guard, one thing that I noticed is that for one section in your revamp of the article, Papal Guards etc. are referred to as "Elite types", but seeing as there's also a guard type named Elites, I figured I suggest that they could be called "Expert types" instead, so it takes out any confusion that might happen.

Also, in Revelations, aren't the guards that throw Thunder Bombs called "Bombmen" in the Database?

Finally, when I looked over it, I noticed you forgot to add about the Elites in Revelations, who accompany the Agiles in a four-man group, nearly being replaced by Janissaries later. (After Tarik's assassination, there's one Elite, one Agile and two Janissaries) Slate Vesper 07:36, May 9, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for these Slate, but I'm far from finished :) My last edit was just reordering the old content of the Guards page, I didn't read any of it. I'm starting to rewrite and correct them now though.

For the "Elite types" section, I actually just couldn't think of a different title - "Expert" fits well though, thanks. I'll change the Bombmen and 16th century Elites segment as well.

Thanks again, I'll keep working at it, but please let me know if you see anything else XD =GuardDog 07:43, May 9, 2012 (UTC)

I'll make sure to do that. *salutes* Slate Vesper 07:52, May 9, 2012 (UTC)

Guards

I just noticed that GuardDog is revamping the Guards page... but I would just like to give a bit of my input. I noticed that you are separating each section into High Middle Ages, 15th century and 16th century. The High Middle Ages are a period, while the 15th century and 16th century are well, not periods but centuries. The correct equivalent would be just the Renaissance. Maybe you can also take into consideration that what we see in the games isn't the only thing that exists in the universe; there are always events happening everywhere in the world. (The 16th century was characterized by several notable international wars, resulting in the clashes of guards from different countries and armies. Among these were the Liberation of Rome, Siege of Viana, and power struggle in Constantinople.) These were just two things I noticed and found a little off, maybe you can work with that. :) -- Master Sima Yi 09:09, May 9, 2012 (UTC)

Fitting, isn't it? :p Anyway, your input's much appreciated, Sima, thanks.

As for the headers, I was just working with the division that was already there - will switch it to just "Renaissance" then. I'll also reword that section about the international wars XD

And as I said to Slate, thanks, and please voice it if you catch anything else :D =GuardDog 09:16, May 9, 2012 (UTC)

It were just two things I noticed, I don't want to interrupt your revamp too much or make it seem like I'm looking down on you. Keep up the good work! -- Master Sima Yi 09:21, May 9, 2012 (UTC)

I like the change but I preferred the previous guard pictures. Could you put those pictures back please. Of course I don't mind if you don't. Fairy Tail Grand Master^{<F.T.G.M. >} 09:25, May 9, 2012 (UTC)

In the end it's up to her to decide what she does with the revamp. Though I would like to add that the quantity of pictures makes the page a little crowded here and there, and then the "16th century" under the "Ranking" section is a bit messed up. I would also vary the placing of the pictures between left and right. Sorry! XD -- Master Sima Yi 09:31, May 9, 2012 (UTC)

Fixing the Ranking section as we speak, Sima XD I can adjust the images too.

And FairyTail, I thought those old images were good quality too, but the article just seems more uniform with the others if it has in-game images, rather than models. :) All the old images are retained in the Guards/Gallery page though. =GuardDog 09:37, May 9, 2012 (UTC)

I noticed. Just showing my opinion is all. Glad you agree.Fairy Tail Grand Master^{<F.T.G.M. >}4:37, May 10, 2012 (UTC)
