Let me know what you think!
Perhaps more formatting is to come.
I'll have to see what everyone else's Talk page looks like, because I'm such a sheep.

[edit] Userpage

May I be the first to comment on your awesome userpage? I read it, and it was hilarious! Good jorb! I especially liked when Strong Mad said, "YOU'VE GOT NO ARMS LEFT!" Has Matt? (talk) 21:27, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Whoa, thanks! I hadn't realized anyone would even know it was here. (I'm not very accustomed to the Wiki yet.) How did you find it? Should I be marking all of my changes as "Minor Edits"? I don't want to tick anyone off! ReverendTed 21:30, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Also, generally, it's not a good idea to mark all of your edits as minor. Go here for guidelines regarding minor edits. Oh, and by the way, I don't know if you knew about this or not, but anyone can keep track of all the changes on the Wiki on Special:Recentchanges. That's how I saw what you did with your page. Has Matt? (talk) 21:35, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

You made it like a sbemail! VERY HILARIOUS. --The 386 My talk 21:39, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Man, I thought it was awesome! (On a side account: Even though the thing welcomed you, I was the one who saw you be created. I tried to welcome you, but the thing beat me to it). Thekillerdynamo 21:58, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Well now I guess I know who my real friends are, Mr. Pokeylope. Also: Thanks! ReverendTed 22:01, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Your...page...is...AWESOME! Seriously, great idea! Bluebry 02:19, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category Whoopsie

I think that's an awexome and creative approach to a userpage. Just one thing: you should remove the category (or make it into actual code), as it's putting your userpage in the actual list of Lappy Emails (which it shouldn't be). Just a heads up. --DorianGray

Thanks for the heads up, Dorian! I removed a lot of other links of that nature, like the "Film" links on the characters, since I wasn't sure if they would do something similar. Obviously I missed that one. If you see anything else like that, please feel free to go ahead and correct it. ReverendTed 21:41, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Any time. Yeah, the filmography things woulda done the same. I'll scout around for the code for categories, and you can make a mock-category at the bottom that doesn't actually include it. Talk atcha later. --DorianGray

[edit] Guestbooks

By the way, Has Matt's comment initiating this section is a very good example of what people can do in place of guestbooks. (I'm not sure whether you know, Reverend Sir, but there's a very lengthy discussion going on about whether to allow guestbooks on userpages. It's been pointed out several times that if somebody likes a page and wants to say so, they can simply do so on the talk, page, which Has Matt did.) And by the way, yeah, that is one of the most brilliant user pages I've seen in a while! —AbdiViklas 21:45, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the kind words about my userpage! The discussion on guestbooks is pretty convoluted there. I'd like to say I agree with you - the "Talk" page serves that function just fine. I think the existing guestbooks should be moved to subpages and locked, so the user can merge them with their Talk page if they wish and then delete it.ReverendTed 21:54, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fun Facts

[edit] Goof

  • The good ReverendTed accidentally typed "albeit though the Universal Life Church". He might have meant "albeit through the Universal Life Church". Thunderbird 02:11, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Er...I have no idea what you're talking about. I would never make such a mistake. Or surreptitiously correct it. Ignore what the history says. ReverendTed 02:14, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

  • Two minutes after the aforementioned goof was brought to the attention of ReverendTed, he fixed it. Thunderbird 02:22, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Where's An Egg Source Code Snippet

The important thing to note in this code snippet are the items highlighted in red. Note that in the last three "pairs", the __reg3.type matches the following this.mySpot\this.myItem. This is because the code is checking to ensure that a liar's randomly selected response does not match their own place or item. However, in the first pair, the __reg3.type is "person", but the randomly selected response is checked against the liar's this.myItem, which is obviously incorrect. The proper check here would be against this.mID. This is why a liar can respond to an item question with their own face, but will not respond with their own location, nor can they respond with their own location or item when questioned about another suspect. This is a programming error.

  function addItemResponse(itemID)
   {
       var __reg3 = new Object();
       if (Math.random() > 0.5) 
       {
           __reg3.type = "person";
           var __reg6 = Math.random() * com.homestarrunner.EggGame.ITEM_COUNT;
           __reg4 = com.homestarrunner.EggGame.whoHasItem(itemID);
           if (this.liar) 
           {
               __reg2 = Math.floor(Math.random() * com.homestarrunner.EggGame.ITEM_COUNT);
               while (__reg4 == __reg2 || __reg2 == this.myItem) 
               {
                   __reg2 = Math.floor(Math.random() * com.homestarrunner.EggGame.ITEM_COUNT);
               }
               __reg3.id = __reg2;
           }
           else 
           {
               __reg3.id = __reg4;
           }
       }

[edit] Swears

Hey there, ReverendTed. I noticed this edit — while we're still hammering out language policies for talk pages, your language was a bit beyond usual standards. Many users wouldn't bat an eyelash at your post, but we try to keep talk pages as friendly as possible for everyone. No big deal, but I thought I'd just let you know for future reference. Thanks, and see ya around! Trey56 22:54, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up on that one. It's easy to forget that HRWiki isn't like a lot of the messageboards I frequent online. I'm pretty big on "euphamistic swears" out here in the real world. -ReverendTed 23:07, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
No problem. And I noticed that you revised that edit — you didn't have to, but thanks for doing that :) As for euphemistic swears, "What the pfargtl?" ranks high on my list :P Trey56 23:10, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
