The Poopsmith Speaketh
What should we do about the Poopsmith? I agree that we should not give away the surprise. However, none of the solutions that have been used and reverted are perfect. I still think that this is so far the best solution, but it will not work for all users. Some people will be able to see the name of the speaker, even if it's not tagged as a voiceover. Having names only shown for voiceovers is an option set by default. But completely deaf people will probably choose names over colours. However, using something like "leadsinger" first and then "poopsmith" will confuse these users as well. They will not see that it's the same person singing. Does anybody have an idea how to solve this? (And obviously, please post here before applying the changes directly to the subtitles) Loafing

- I wasn't aware that there was a setting to show the name regardless of voiceover or not. That IS a conundrum... Is there a way to make it the poopsmith's color without it being tied to the poopsmith until that point? — Defender1031*Talk 11:22, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
- Hmmm, colours are also an option set by default :-p And there are so many colours, I doubt that the poopsmith's colour is distinctive enough. Loafing 11:25, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
- Let me rephrase: Is there a way to have it act exactly like the poopsmith is talking for the first 3 lines, aside from it actually SAYING "The Poopsmith"? — Defender1031*Talk 11:28, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
- With all the different options the AIO gives, the closest thing I can think of (that'd work near-universally) is to make one at Subtitles:Characters with the Poopsmith's color but a generic name, then switch to the normal poopsmith tag when it's revealed to be him. If someone's used enough to the 'smith's color to notice that's him (from his two "speaking" roles; or notice it's a similar color to his whatsit), then oh well. --Mini-Geekt c 19:40, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

The band Limozeen
Is there any way to get that part subtitled also? — Defender1031*Talk 18:15, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
- Since it's a flash video inside a separate SWF, like the Puppet Stuff, the only way I can think of is to do it like the Puppet Stuff (e.g. Biz Cas Fri's subs; you'd have to view the mirror for the Limozeen part to see the subs), but since I can't use the all-in-one there (plus I've never sub'd real-life stuff before), I'd rather not bother with that...you can do it if you like. --Mini-Geekt c 19:35, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
