Hello, all! This is the Raven's Nest, my little corner of the world for you to leave me messages. Just FYI, though, this is the snail-mail way to get a hold of me. Usually you can find me in IRC between 9 and midnight CST, and my IRCbot, TheRaven, is there to take messages, at least for now. (Just say r.help if you have questions.) Thanks!
Hey Feather, when you get a chance, could you find out (if you don't already know) where the information on Altair's page about his later life came from, starting at the "Fall from grace" section? Thanks. Eaglewulf23 02:26, July 27, 2011 (UTC)
Project Aperture
Darky, sorry if I can't be on for much longer last night. I've been looking at the Portal and it looks great! :D Here's a few things you need to fix first, though.
You don't need the gray thingy for the Portal. The admin banner is supposed to cover the entire bottom part. Also, there is no Apprentices section in the Administration, ince you guys already have one in the Community section. Finally, a Timeline section lies at the bottom of the series part. Alty's image is supposed to go in the middle, leaving a small section free for us to link Project Timeline articles at the bottom. I did a quick edit just to show you, but it's kinda rushed. xD BTW, awesome work, Darky :D Animusradiation talk / contribs 22:27, September 4, 2011 (UTC)
I... don't know how you did it... but I love you. I LOVE YOU! -- D. Cello 02:59, September 5, 2011 (UTC)
Darky, I added all the links. The only things that need to be done would be fixing the heights to make them standard. xD When you read this, it's prolly morning there, so good morning and happy editing. Animusradiation talk / contribs 14:23, September 5, 2011 (UTC)
PS. Cello sends his love (again) :D
A Little Extra
File:DFAvatar.pngEnjoy it or die, it's your choice. -.-Hiya Dark, Teller here. Well, congratulations on your 2 promotions, you worked hard and deserved them. But I reckon (aswell as others) that you deserved something else so I present to you, your own avatar hand-crafted by me. :3 Enjoy it, I had to put up with rantings with Kaishiro so treat it with care. XD
I remember reading it was eligible for players from UK AND Ireland (to win of course)....
And maybe u could add a gallery at last..the talk page has some good pics unused..

Hey Feather. It's been AWHILE, how are you doing? Eaglewulf23 22:07, April 7, 2012 (UTC)
Chat help please :)
Have you got any idea why my AC chat isn't working, its not loading ive tried refreshing it ive tried restarting my computer, even my friend who was sitting right next to me had it working. Any idea's?
Congrats on becoming a full member of the Istruttori Feather! Idk how long ago it happened, but I haven't looked at your page in awhile XD Eaglewulf23 10:29, May 14, 2012 (UTC)
Just asking
Hey, this is Kazel R.o.d and I'm just kind of trying to understand why you undid my edits to the glyph page? I changed 'were' to 'was' because that is correct or 'is' could also work, 'Desmond were then presented with' that doesn't make sense. I understand I shouldn't have used the word 'you' in my rewrite of 'The Origin of Species' but why revert the whole thing back? The way it was is wrong because it says 'below the eyes at the top' but there is only 1 eye and it only appears when the cursor is held over it so that would make my revision right but I just need to remove the 'you' and reword it, right? I'm not having a go at you, I just want to know the reason. Thank You. Kazel R.o.d 02:09, May 16, 2012 (UTC)
Past tense
I get that the main article text has to be in past tense to suit the details, but since the points are in Trivia, aren't they allowed to deviate from that? Slate Vesper 23:52, May 17, 2012 (UTC)
I'm not sure -- slider format seems to be deprecated. Jump on the IRC and we can crack on it if you'd like. ~DarkFeather There will be blood -- just make sure it's the right person's. 04:05, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
IRC Apprenticeship chat
Hey Dark, it's Saturday night here and that means it's probably early Friday morning where you are. I'm free tomorrow so I'll be on the IRC from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. (Australian Eastern Standard Time) which I believe is between 6 and midnight for you on Saturday. Would you like to meet then? ArcemzSomething on your mind? 07:44, May 26, 2012 (UTC)
First draft
I've finished the first draft, I mainly improved the writing quality and added in another image. Let me know what other things need to be done, aswell. ArcemzSomething on your mind? 05:46, May 27, 2012 (UTC)
Alright, first and foremost, the whole article needs to be in past-tense. So, that takes some work for you. Quality looks good. Compare it to the Manual of Style and included sample article -- it'll be good for you to have read those as a whole for future projects. Other than that, make sure to set images to thumbs at 250px, right. Open another page in source mode to see how to set a thumbs. My profile page should be the same. If you would like to add a dialog section, go for it. Look at a memory page for how to set up the template. DarkFeatherRaven's NestRaven's Hunt 06:18, May 27, 2012 (UTC)
Alright, thanks for the feedback, I'll get right on it. Just a couple things:
What do you mean by thumbs exactly? And when you say 250px right, is that making the size 250px, and aligning the picture on the right side? Because the pictures are huge then. And what do you mean by the memory template?

Because I have a life outside the Wiki :P I could ask you the same -- why u no have ZNC? DarkFeatherRaven's NestRaven's Hunt 02:14, May 31, 2012 (UTC)
well in order to have ZNC one must know what it is XD... Bonzi 006 02:49, May 31, 2012 (UTC)
Hence why I told you to talk to Kaishiro :P Also, you shouldn't be trying to use me to bypass school rules. White-hat hacker, remember? Sorry, but while you're on someone else's network, you're SOL in this case :( DarkFeatherRaven's NestRaven's Hunt 02:51, May 31, 2012 (UTC)
So i heard from God, if i knew you weren't allowed i wouldn't have asked, but eh, i just spoke with my friend, he can't fix it without being expelled from school for messing with the system, its been blocked, they caught me but somehow missed my friend, shows how useless our techs really are. 203.104.11.14 03:40, May 31, 2012 (UTC) 03:39, May 31, 2012 (UTC)
I'm not mad -- just letting you know why I won't do more ;) Hope to see you on the IRC eventually. If it makes you feel better, you're in the same boat as my apprentice. DarkFeatherRaven's NestRaven's Hunt 03:42, May 31, 2012 (UTC)
i can still go on x chat, when i get home from school and work, but knowing you you won't be oon then :P Bonzi 006 03:46, May 31, 2012 (UTC)
sure sure, thats why you wanted to help me with my security breach ... Bonzi 006 04:18, May 31, 2012 (UTC)

Fanon help, nothing too big
Hey DarkFeather, or anyone reading this that is willing, would you mind starting my Fanon Story page for me please? I've tried, but it's just too much code for me. Title is Training, it's a Story, and FanNon-Canon. Thanks for your help! Edit: Scratch that DF, Teller is helped me. Master Decoder 09:52, June 2, 2012 (UTC)
Mentor, I've checked for errors and punctuation in the assignment thus far (mainly looking for and fixing any comma splices I could find and checking for double links etc). Just wondering if you could take a look at my Sandbox and tell me if I've missed any errors and if there's anything else to be done before it's ready to be published. Thanks Dark. ArcemzSomething on your mind? 09:44, June 13, 2012 (UTC)
Looking good, Apprentice. Go ahead and publish it, removing the revamp tags -- when I get back tonight I'll take care of the pigeon coop stuff and start looking for your next assignment. You can mark yourself up as Rank 3 (Apprentice) in your userbox now -- make sure you do that this time :P DarkFeatherRaven's NestRaven's Hunt 14:05, June 17, 2012 (UTC)
I appreciate the compliments :) You are more than welcome to take a look at our CSS, if you want. MediaWiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Wikia.css are mostly what hold it. I used :hover attributes on the images and set the border, initially black, to turn a grey when the object was rolled over. About 1px is enough to make it visible but not enough to make it overpowering. Thanks for asking, and feel free to borrow as needed with credit given! DarkFeatherRaven's NestRaven's Hunt 14:07, June 17, 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply DarkFeather,
I would appreciate it if you did take a look; we have been attempting to do a similar thing. You will find our attempt here. We have gotten to the stage where we are ready to upload it to the main page; however we discovered that because it is pretty much all 'floating' it will deck the whole page and the layout of it. Can you please take a look? You have permission to edit the main page or any other pages you need, contact me if you need me to unblock pages. Your help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
You're missing Template:Portal/Component/Slider. In order to have the pages show withing the same page without a new pageload, you can't just link out like you are right now. You need a Portal Slider to form a javascript shell holding the pages. The shell can then change the pages at user command and link out only when desired, like to your Facebook and News. If you want me to handle an install, it will take some time, and I'll have to sandbox it first. You'll need to rip (with attribution) Trixie and my MediaWiki:Common.js engine, and start adding tags around all your subpages. That should get you pointed in the right direction until I can actually take a look at it. Thanks. DarkFeatherRaven's NestRaven's Hunt 06:45, June 28, 2012 (UTC)
Yeah I see what you mean. We arent too fussed about the links opening a new page. Our concern is that because the images are floating, when we upload the template to our main page it disaligns all the other components. Any ideas?
Newlines (hitting enter) are what control that spacing. You may need to condense some of your code. DarkFeatherRaven's NestRaven's Hunt 02:20, June 29, 2012 (UTC)
Ok, thanks. So can you help with that, or point us in the right direction anyway.
Hey there Dark! :) If memory serves me well, you are rather good at wordmark stuff... And since the "Istruttorium" has been renamed to the "Bureau," all Istruttorium wordmarks need to be replaced as well. Would you be able, and willing, to have a go at this? Previously, Steen did all of them, but since he isn't here anymore... :/ The images are: [[File:Ganomsistrutt1.png]] - [[File:Istruttnomhub2.png]] - [[File:Istruttlogo2.png]] - [[File:Recruitmentistrutt2.png]] - [[File:Fanomsistrutt2.png]]
Please let me know as soon as possible :) NestyContact me! 14:34, July 18, 2012 (UTC)
Never mind, Vatsa took care of it. NestyContact me! 14:54, July 18, 2012 (UTC)
Reminder
Leave Steen a message (or get Teller to tweet him) with requirements of your avatar for the Staff board. You have a default avatar there.. --VATSA (TALK • GENTEK) 03:01, July 25, 2012 (UTC)
Assignment 4
Hey there, Mentor. I received your PM from Raven when I logged in yesterday, but unfortunately I wasn't able to be there at 11. I told Raven, but I'm not sure if you got that or not. Anyways, I finished changing the article to past tense and was wondering if there's anything else to be done before publishing. Thanks!
My school "techs" finally started doing their job properly and blocked webchat, so I can't talk while I'm at school, which happens to be the only time you're online. I actually have to do school work >.< . Soo, I'm hoping you'll be online this weekend for longer than 5 mins so we can catch up :). Bonzi 006 (talk)
No they still haven't figured how to keep me out. XD. Seeya on IRC. :P Bonzi 006 (talk) 00:09, August 24, 2012 (UTC)
Romagna
Hey there, Dark! You'll be pleased to know that I've almost finished Romagna, although I was wondering if the events from the Battle of Forli DLC where actually in Romagna? (Where Ezio killed the Orsi brothers, rescued Caterina's children and the hunt for the "black monk" who took the Apple, not the actual battles inside the city). If so, would it be worth mentioning in the article? <choose><option>http://images.wikia.com/assassinscreed/images/7/7f/ArcemzSig.png</option></choose>
i think i found something
Safety and peace DarkFeather
i've been looking through the ac games, and scripts, read all i can,
and i think i kinda may have found proof on something
Hey Dark, just finished having a look at your sandbox. Overall it looks exceptional, I have to say, especially with the use of new images such as the Abstergo Animus console and the Grand Temple screenshot with Desmond and William. The Desmond Journey image looks great, although I don't know whether you're planning on adding a "News" title onto it in the same format as the others?
Under games, the images fit well and I personally like the text, and I think its lucky that they are 5 main games and 5 spin-offs, or else it would of looked odd if it was uneven.
The admin section looks good too, I personally think the image is good match for that section, although it still says Istruttorium and there's another template for Portal/Main, but that might be for something else, apologies if it is.
The only things I would change would maybe be to move Connor to the left a bit more in "Series", and the Bloodlines image cover for "Games" is different to the shape of the other spin-off covers, so I would change its shape to match the others. If possible though, of course. This is just me though, it's all up to you.
Mentor DarkFeather, as promised, here is my sandbox, ready to be evaluated. When you have the time, look over it, and let me know about any errors or if it is ready to be published. I appreciate all the help so far, and thank you for letting me have the time off for Assassin's Creed III :).
Take care, Mentor, as I fear the road ahead is long, and shrouded in darkness. But stay true to who you are, for the days that we stand for freedom, are the days the Templars cry. See you soon, Dark.
Greetings Dark. Whenever we're both on the IRC, I'd like your help in discerning the problem I have with some certain files. You know, whenever you're available. Thanks in advance. --War Clown (talk) 18:41, November 20, 2012 (UTC)
Apprentice Assignment
Heya Dark... Just thought that I'd let you know that the next time you give your apprentice an assignment, it doesnt overlap with the projects of other users. War and I had agreed to work on the Liberations memories together. Now, of course, I know no one can embargo a certain part of the wiki just like that, but still - it doesn't feel pretty when someone swoops in and takes away your project - especially if you've been looking forward to it. Anyway, that's all xD NestyContact me! 20:46, December 28, 2012 (UTC)
