Its your userpage, you can do almost anything!--^Corevette₇₈₉ 00:40, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Characters are BORING BORING BORING without backstorys, I prefer user pages with them, although I think I may write too much sometimes xD --VergilSparda 11:21, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

ok but i'll have to think them up and that might take a while!--GUM!!! 11:48, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

If you need INSPIRATION feel free to use some of my stuff ;) --VergilSparda 11:51, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

thanks i'll read that when i have more time but right now i gonna need some ideas why they where in prison?i'll tell you the names,GUM from morrowind and is a bosmer,WAM MAN(don't ask)from morrowind and is a kajjaht,bonkey is a dunmer from morrowind,GUM is a argornian from oblivion,and that's all my charicter so please help me think why they where in jail?--GUM!!! 14:18, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Murder? Grand Theft? Assault? who knows ..--VergilSparda 15:40, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

hmm.. yes but i'm thinking creative like smugaling or someting like that(sorry if i'm talking to much)?--GUM!!! 16:01, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Talking to much? Clearly you haven't read my userpage yet hahahha, and Smuggling seems like a cool idea for a theif --VergilSparda 16:02, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

hey vergil sparda take a look at some of my ideas on my sand box!tell me what you think of them!--GUM!!! 22:31, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Sure.. Send me a link I can't seem to find it :)--VergilSparda 22:43, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

it's on my user page at the top!--GUM!!! 22:44, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Rofl, "Accidentally ate a house" wtf? XD and I think MURDER would be cool but It should be a well thought out murder like an organised one --VergilSparda 22:53, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

no not accidentally that's part of the next one but you're probly wondering why he ate a house because he was hungre and he eats alot of stuff (includeing diamonds!)--GUM!!! 22:58, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

I think you're moving away from realistic character storys...--VergilSparda 22:59, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

i'm sorry i some times get a little crazy when i'm thinking up storys but in morrowind you can eat diamonds so forget what i just worte before!--GUM!!! 23:02, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

hahaha ok :P And why would yo be able to eat diamonds that MUST be a bug--VergilSparda 23:05, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

no it's not in morrowind diamonds emaralds rubys and perls are all ingredents!--GUM!!! 23:15, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

ahhhh... thats kind of strange :P--VergilSparda 23:21, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

yeah i know but what did you think of the other ones?--GUM!!! 23:23, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

You decide! you don't need me to decide for you! :P--VergilSparda 23:26, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

yes but i like other peoples opinyons because as you already know i can be a little crazy at times!--GUM!!! 23:29, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Well why don't you write a story and I will tell you if it is too crazy :P--VergilSparda 23:34, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

well that might not work cause i'm trying to be sensable but here it goes!(this is going to be a short one!)

"GUM was a blue argornian who spent most of his time at the bar and got drunk alot but not to drunk!But on his birth day he got really drunk and got kicked out of the bar and saw a gaurd look at him strangely and then he ran up and started calling him names and ended up in jail for to days and when he was in prison he ended up killing the jailor and got sent to the imperial prison and woke up to the taunts of valnel derth and shortly wound up with the emporer in his jail cell"so tell me what you thought of that!--GUM!!! 23:52, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Yeah... nice story but you really should sort out your spelling and use of words... examples are "to" when you should of said "two" etc :P--VergilSparda 23:55, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

yeah sorry but my spelling isn't perfect!--GUM!!! 23:59, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

and you still didn't ansewr my question what didyou think about the other ones?--GUM!!! 14:52, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

You're getting annoying now! this is NOT my userpage its yours!! Do what you want with it you don't need my opinion!!--VergilSparda 17:08, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

oh sorry about that!--GUM!!! 18:32, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

hi!you're probly going to call me anoying again but i like other peoples opinion on stuff and i did some work on my sand box and wanted your opinion on it and it would be good to have other peoples opinion on it!--GUM!!! 14:21, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

My achievement user box

Sorry I didn't answer you, I've been on vacation, and I'm not that active on the site. Feel free to use it! Peace. --Oblivion nerd 00:10, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

ok thanks!--GUM!!! 00:26, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Little Advice

Hey there! While it is fine that you want to protect the wiki from vandals and the like, I want to remind you that it is not a good and welcoming thing posting messages like this. The edit was clearly just a mistake by a new user. If you want to adress new users and give them some friendly advice, please use the list of welcome/advice messages found here. If you are uncertain whether an edit is nonsense or vandalism, just revert the edit and let the patrollers do the warning bit. Thanks. --Krusty 18:27, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

oh sorry bout that--GUM!!! 18:41, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

No need to be sorry - it's just much nicer (and easier) to use the messages already written for new users. :) --Krusty 18:49, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

gems and metel

hi!i didn't know where else to put this but i would like to know a good place to find gems and metels cause i'm sorta collecting them and have lately been running short thanks--GUM!!! 23:27, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Most are random loot, so there's no other way to get them other than clearing out dungeons again and again (I'm assuming you mean the game Oblivion). Gold and silver nuggets will be found in mines and pearls will be found in oysters on the bottom of the lakes of Tamriel. Good luck. Vesna 23:33, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

yeah i do mean obivion i didn't really know where you got metel so thanks!--GUM!!! 23:35, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

flawed pearls can be found in clams (shallow water has them) silver and gold nuggets are at mines and the gems can be found during a lot of quests (higher level means better gems) i have 1 of every perfect gem, but i can always dupe ;P Mikeyboy52 03:39, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Tip

I suggest you not become involved in the conversation on the Administrator Noticeboard, as it will only get you in trouble of some sort.--^Corevette₇₈₉ 00:30, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

oh sorry it's just i saw the thing at the top and yeah--GUM!!! 00:31, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Wiki politics is not something to get into in my opinion. Just a little tip for you.--^Corevette₇₈₉ 00:33, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Considering there are only three active Admins to use the board, other user's voices should be welcomed, or else it would get pretty boring ;) --Arch-Mage Matt^Talk 00:39, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

I see your point AMM and it is valid no doubt. This isn't really anything where anything is going to happen. It looks more of a 2 person argument to me.--^Corevette₇₈₉ 00:42, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Everybody is welcome to post opinions on the AN or CP. The Administrator Noticeboard is called that because it's the place to gain the attention of admins, not because only admins are allowed to post there. rpeh •T•C•E• 00:43, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

wich is bigger?

hi!i wasn't really sure where else to put this bu i would like to know wich is bigger...TES morrowind or TES obivion?(my guess is that morrowind is bigger)--GUM!!! 01:27, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

That depends entirely on what aspect of the game you are talking about. Morrowind has more characters, but Oblivion has more in depth characters, morrowind is bigger in landscape, Oblivion's landscape is more detailed, ect.--Arch-Mage Matt^Talk 01:44, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

like wich has more land crrodill or varrdenfell?--GUM!!! 12:31, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Morrowind, I'd say. --Arch-Mage Matt^Talk 19:15, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

ok thanks!--GUM!!! 19:49, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Color of GUM!!!

The old color for your signature was so much better :P kinda like a hotpink, reminded me of, you know, gum :D Mikeyboy52 05:12, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

ok i guess i can change it in a little bit--GUM!!! 14:51, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

ok i changed it--GUM!!! 14:56, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Ha ha i was just saying it looked better ;D also noticed the "this user wants to play on the nintendo" and wanted to say a good replacement is an emulator called PJ64 and roms on emuparadise Mikeyboy52 15:24, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

uh...whats that?(P.S i'm fine on the xbox)--GUM!!! 15:30, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Its for computers, an emulator (as far as this discussion goes) is basically something that allows you to play console based games on your computer. I use VBA PJ64 NO$GBA and EPSX2. so i can play the all the gameboys, the nintendo and the ps1 and ps2 on my computer. Mikeyboy52 01:24, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

They're also illegal. Copyrights, intellectual property theft and all that jazz. Check it out. --Riddle 04:15, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

The programs themselves are not illegal, only how you use them. There's a loop-hole in the licensing. Also, as long as you owned a Nintendo 64 in the past, you can legally own an emulator and use it. Mikeyboy52 17:11, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Not a Forum

I need to remind you that the UESP wiki is not a forum. There is a separate forum if you want to chat with other people about fanfics, characters and other things not related to the wiki. I know you are helping the wiki in other ways, and that is very much appreciated, but there's a place for non-wiki chat and this isn't it.

At the moment, you (and others) are clogging up the recent changes page with irrelevant edits that still require checking and patrolling. Please take this activity off-wiki. rpeh •T•C•E• 22:53, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

oh sorry about that it's just i don't really go to chat rooms...--GUM!!! 00:18, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

I'm butting in here but... ya' know, Gum, it isn't really a "chatroom". No one needs to know who you are and you don't need to get any personal information. You just discuss the games and make up polls, reply to other's quetions, and ask for other's advice/ opinion, post your character, put fanfics up... stuff like that that isn't appreciated on the wiki. --Arch-Mage Matt^Talk 21:36, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

oh really?i didn't know that but just one question...do i have to make a new account there or can i use this one?--GUM!!! 21:44, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

You need to make a new account, but you will probably be able to use the same name. rpeh •T•C•E• 21:59, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

ok i'll probly make a account then--GUM!!! 22:02, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

or not i guess i can't make one...sorry--GUM!!! 22:15, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Why can't you make one? ...I can't imagine anyone sharing the name GUM!!!. --Arch-Mage Matt^Talk 22:37, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

it says i have to get my parent to sign it something or something and i know that they probly wouldn't--GUM!!! 22:40, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

That's because you entered your age as under a certain amount. Just enter your email and confrim it there. News Alert: People lie on the internet. ;) --Arch-Mage Matt^Talk 23:24, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

oh ok then should i use a diffrent email then the one i used before or some thing?(cause i accidently nade the account)--GUM!!! 23:30, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

ok i signed up(useing my sisters email)and i just wanted to know what's your user name?--GUM!!! 00:08, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Mine? It's the same as it is here. --Arch-Mage Matt^Talk

ok mine's on my page see you later(probly)--GUM!!! 00:11, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Spelling

You may want to put the "anyone can fix my spelling" part into a {{Notice}} box at the top of your page. Patrollers and admins are more likely to notice it there and not undo benign edits. ‒ Robin Hood↝Talk 02:40, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

oh ok i'll put it in a new one--GUM!!! 14:09, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. There may still be times when someone forgets to, but usually we look for notices like that before reverting relatively benign edits. ‒ Robin Hood↝Talk 17:47, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Signature

Could you tell me where you got your signature from? I'm trying to find out all the wiki/html codes I can apply to my signature, before I actually make one.Mikeyboy52 17:07, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

the colors can be found here--GUM!!! 18:29, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks :D Mikeyboy52 02:52, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Console Commands

In regards to your change on the Arrow of Extrication page, Console commands are considered acceptable in order to circumvent bugs. Apart from that, you're right that they're usually undesirable. ‒ Robin Hood↝talk 20:53, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

oh ok sorry i thought that you weren't ever suposed to put them somewhere--GUM!!! 23:59, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Darth Maul

It's considered bad practice for your signature to not resemble your user name in some fashion. It's also outright forbidden to impersonate another user, so should it ever happen that someone registers the name "Darth Maul" here, you'll have to change it. I would strongly recommend changing it back to "GUM!!!", though you could probably get away with something like "Wrigley's Spearmint" or "Bubblicious" based on the resemblance guidelines if similar names aren't already registered. ‒ Robin Hood↝talk 17:20, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

oh ok i just sometimes get a little bit sick of my origanal name and i change it for a day or two so i'll change it in a bit ok? or if you want me to now i guess i could. and by the way i didn't get a new message thing do you know why?--Darth Maul 17:46, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Your initial signature tells me exactly why...you weren't logged in. :) As for the name, it's not for me to decide. It is just a guideline, but nevertheless, a lot of people will probably find it confusing or object to the lack of resemblance, so just keep that in mind when changing signatures. ‒ Robin Hood↝talk 17:48, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

ok i'll do that in the future!--Darth Maul 17:52, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

GUM

Might I just ask why in your new signature gum appears twice? Arny 10:02, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

oh it's just sometimes i get a little sick of my origanl nanme so i swithc it for a day or to. look above;)--GUM GUM!!! 23:00, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Confront the King

We have both been reverting the edits to Confront the King. Should something be done about this to stop the edit warring? --DKong27 ^{Talk Cont} 21:17, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

I've given the anon a final non-official warning. If the content is removed again, it's time for an official warning. rpeh •T•C•E• 22:04, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Edit Summaries / Removing content

Please can you be more selective and descriptive about what content you remove or edit?

In this edit you deleted information with the edit summary "almost evryone does ;)", when in fact there are only about three or four NPCs in the original game who openly smuggle Dwemer artifacts.

Your edit summary of "what???" for this isn't helpful. The original edit isn't really in the right place, but it asks a fair enough question. Has the player experienced a true apotheosis or does s?he remain mortal? Removing the content with such a poor edit summary isn't the way to go. Moving it to a talk page would have been much better.

Here your edit summary said "...i've never hread of it". That's not a sufficient reason to remove content. Adding a {{VN}} tag if the edit seemed plausible, or moving it to a talk page with an explanation if it's implausible is the way to go: TheAlbinoOrc did that exact thing after you removed it.

Here is an edit where you don't seem to have understood the change. Removing it with no real explanation is the wrong thing to do.

There are plenty of other examples but I think you should get the point now. It's obviously good that you want to help, but if you're going to spend your time editing the work of others rather than adding your own, please can you be a bit more selective about what you remove? rpeh •T•C•E• 21:29, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

wow...i am really sorry about that...i'll try to wirght better summanarys in the future...sorry about that....--GUM!!! 21:37, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Spelling (again)

I know everybody makes spelling mistakes when typing, and I'm definitely not immune myself... but you really need to start using a browser with a spell-checker. It's getting embarrassing.

In Firefox, go to the Tools menu, choose Options, then click the Advanced tab and tick the "Check my spelling as I type" box. Other browsers have their own checks. I'm sorry to have to post this, but I'm afraid I can't stand reading through another dozen posts with such ludicrous spelling. rpeh •T•C•E• 20:53, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

i'm sorry...but my borwser is old and firerfox(as far as i know) dosn't let you choose the size of the words...it helps meread this site better and faster because the small print is harder for me to read. again i'm really sorry about that.GUM!!! 01:26, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

and also if fire fox does have a spell size thing if i changed it my bro and sis would kill me--GUM!!! 01:41, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Firefox does let you change the size of words. Pressing CTRL-+ (ie, CTRL, SHIFT, =) increases the size of text and images on a page. rpeh •T•C•E• 16:39, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

as i said before my brother and sister would kill me for consintly changeing the size. again i am dearly sorry--GUM!!! 16:42, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

You could do what I do; let Word check the spelling for you. It can even check grammar and that sort of thing. --Krusty 16:58, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

word cheack? wat's that?--GUM!!! 17:08, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Microsoft word or whatever word program you have.--TheAlbinoOrc^{any_questions?} 17:11, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

oh...that would take a long to do stuff...the bes i can offer you is to try to wirgt better. i will try to wirte slower and better. i'm sorry--GUM!!! 17:16, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

They can use Internet Explorer or whatever you had. You can use FireFox. You can have them both. www.mozilla.org It is a free, safe download.--^Corevette₇₈₉ 18:25, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Actually, I'm going to make this as easy as possible. First go here and click the first green box under FireFox. Then it will ask you to install and click yes. Then it will ask you where, it should default to My Documents. Once the Download is finished, go to My Documents and click "FireFox Setup 3.6.6" (This is what you just downloaded)Then it will come up with a wizard. All you need to do there is keep clicking next, wait for the blue bar to finish up, then click finish. There should be a Icon on your Desktop named "FireFox" and look like a fox hugging a globe. Click on this and it should say "Proxy server is refusing connections" After that you need to go to "tools" then select "options" then go to the "advanced" tab. The first thing says "Configure how I connect to the Internet" click settings there and a new window pops up. Click the first circle on the top, it says "No Proxy" then click okay in both windows, DO NOT close the window. Then you are using one of the best browsers on the planet, with spellcheck. If you spell something wrong, it just gets a squiggly red line under the word and you can Right-Click to bring up a menu of words you wanted to spell. Select one by clicking on it and it will change the word you typed to the word you selected.--^Corevette₇₈₉ 19:10, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

oh whatever i'll go try FF.(i use a really old IE and they use the FF)--GUM!!! 14:36, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

i'm on fire fox right now...and i can see what albinos sig is supposed to look like...i guess it's better but...it's still harder for me to read...oh what ever i guess i can leave it but one question...is there a favorites thing?(you know you click add to favorites nd then you can click on it to go there instead of tipeing in the name?)--GUM!!! 14:59, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

There is, see the star in the address bar? on the page you want to favorite, click the star and it will light up. Then clicking on the address bar will show the list of favorites.--^Corevette₇₈₉ 15:03, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

um..this may sound rather wearied... but i don't see any...you got a forum account?so we could countinu this without upsetting people?--GUM!!! 15:08, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

I don't, but I am in IRC always, just use the Java client.--^Corevette₇₈₉ 15:11, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

irc? um..what's that?--GUM!!! 15:25, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

[1]

well i just have one question...is there a way to make the letters bigger other then the zoom thing?--GUM!!! 15:50, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

The way rpeh mentioned and there is a magnifier bundled with everything newer than Windows XP. It should be somewhere in Control Panel and your mouse may have a button that does it.--^Corevette₇₈₉ 15:58, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Math

Sorry, we don't do <math> around here. :) I don't know the specifics of our setup, but I would suspect that it's because we don't have texvc installed, as documented in the MediaWiki math help. – Robin Hood↝talk 16:00, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

uh, what? i don't know hat you're talking about...--GUM!!! 00:07, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm guessing he's talking about your edit here, and whatever you were trying to accomplish with it. -- Jplatinum16 00:59, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Indeed I was. If you look at the bottom, you've got a math formula in there. I'm guessing maybe you clicked on the "math" button in the editing toolbar by mistake. – Robin Hood↝talk 01:19, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

ya, i'll go get rid of it now--GUM!!! 01:21, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Forum Account/Fanfiction Characters

Hey there GUM!!! I have at last made a forum (by god that took forever! ;) ). I am signed up on the uesp.net forums as Pithard Septim 59. If there are any other specific forums you'd like me to join, just say so. Also, I will be using at least one of your characters in either Part Four of the Rise of the Mer or The Sickness. I'll repost on this when I am sure which charcters I will be using and in which of the fanfictions I mentioned. Auri-El Reborn 18:16, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Sorry for ther long reply wait!(I'm not gonna be on that much for awhile) but yeah, oh and could you menchion to the people on the fourm mthat i'm still not gonna be on for awhile more? thanks!--GUM!!! 19:50, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Your favorite youtube videos

I've seen many of your favorite videos even before I found your user page. My favorite one is "100 ways to die in Oblivion" --Rigas Papadopoulos 14:44, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Spelling (yet again!)

Your spelling is terrible. You should fix it. I've already fixed a lot of it but it will be better if you write down things right. --Rigas Papadopoulos 10:57, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

I love the healthy self-mockery there. As a note to GUM!!!, be aware that the Rigas Papadopoulos also fixed some spelling in your talk page posts. I don't really know if that you want people to do that for you as well, so that's the reason for me notifying you. --Timenn-<talk> 11:14, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Timenn! --Rigas Papadopoulos 13:38, 22 September 2010 (UTC) P.S. I'm from Greece so I do not know English as you two.

Yes, i would just like people to edit just my page. well since i'm never on anymore i'll just go get rid of that (I forget how to sign...)

Forum

I noticed that you ask many users if they have a forum account. Is there any specific reason? --Rigas Papadopoulos Do you need anything? 12:22, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

See Not A Forum above. The implementation of UPs has largely made that if not irrelevant, at least less relevant though.--Ghurhak gro-Demril _{or TAO}^Yes? 15:01, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

I can not understand much. You mean he ask them because he wants to chat with them? --Rigas Papadopoulos • Talk to me • My work • 09:51, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

I know I shouldn't be barging in on this but what I think he is doing is finding people to share fanfics with, chat, etc etc. I'm not going to really go beyond that becuase that is what he said he does (rather indirectly; someone up above, whether it was rpeh or someone else I'm not sure, said that he was performing said activities on the wiki, something that needs to be done "off-wiki" I believe was the term, which I agree with as does GUM!!!). Anyway, I'll crawl back into my hole now... Auri-El Reborn 22:12, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
