I liked it too. In fact, I think it was better than Phantom Hourglass, Windwaker, and many of the handheld Zelda titles. It was kinda refreshing to have Zelda as more than an end of the game character. Plus there was plenty to do, so driving the train was rarely boring. Compared to The Wind Waker's sailing.

Epic Yarn :p

So close to 100%, but I need to build the articles, and get images from the game. I'm also wanting a neat infobox for this game.

I would think we're are more open if we allow series that Nintendo has published (ie says Nintendo at the bottom right of the box) at least one game in at least one region. By being more open and still within the confines of the organization, we could bring in more development, editors, etc.

Archaic says Ace Attorney is published by Nintendo in Australia.

ok, we should be on a VPS sometime today. The nameservers were updated, but it looks like there's going to be a delay for it all to get back online. Hopefully all most of the issues we've had before are gone now.

Whatever they do will involve the controls for the Wii and DS. By series, do you mean even a current stand alone title recieving a sequel? I'm pretty sure FlingSmash is here to stay. Also Starfy seems to only have 1 English release, but I'm expecting these two characters to get new releases by the end of the wii and 3DS.

Kirby / Epic Yarn SPOILER Thread

Alrighty, we'll discuss the spoilers here.

MAAAAN  I wasn't expecting to actually play in Dream Land much less fight Kracko, Whispy Woods, and all that!

I've considered covering them on WiKirby, since Lolo and Lala are basically Kirby characters now. Consider how Mario Wiki covers spin offs.

The domain prices can be viewed at Godaddy and the like, generally $15 per year. But the hosting comes in various plans, $4 a month for a shared host plan and fewer access rights than other plans. WiKirby has now grown enough to actually break shared hosting, so any startup could make it that far on a shared plan. The plan we are moving to next week, VPS, will cost $50 a month. But we are getting a discount, WHM rights, the move will be done for free, and we have been given a grace period to continue operating on the shared machine until the move takes place, without the limits that were imposed on us.

Bear in mind, the above prices don't include any initial fees that come with it.

the spoiler tags misspelled hidden as "hiden"

I told Tappy about that a long time ago, but he can't fix it since other stuff breaks with it. I just quit using them because I hate misspelled simple words so much.

Well if a wiki for one of those smaller series were made, we wouldn't reject it, but in the same breath we're saying you might want to reconsider going to make it just for NIWA's sake. What will happen when BrainTrainingWiki interest dies out, the owner tires of losing money on it, and no one else wants to pay to save it?

Know what rocks about this game, from a wiki editing perspective?

All of the treasures are in the level when you go back to them, So after I beat the game, I can go back to Fountain Garden and mine the exact same data as though I were in it for the first time.

NIWA Discussion / Re: Offering potentially high-traffic hosting for existing independent wiki

« on: November 23, 2010, 01:31:09 AM »

So to sum it all up, one wiki must pay $60 to begin the experiment and be able to go back to where they were prior to the experiment?

Snorlax managed to post my exact thoughts. We're getting to the bottom of a cone here. If there's going to be any all-new startups on independent hosting, the best approach would be to get commitment from any of the series' fan forums/sites.

Ah the hide/show tools can be finicky. Copy this exactly and place it in a page with the exact same title.

Epic Yarn is bound to make this list. I just started playing but I love how the game forces a MegaTransformation on you.

fixed. sorry for my absence. It seems we've outgrown our host. They've temporarily lifted the limit on us, but I'm looking around for the next step for WiKirby. I also enabled caching (I think) so hopefully that eases our burden until we infiltrate a more powerful machine.

Consider all of the good things from Strategy Wiki:

• The experienced users helping other NIWA wikis
• They are established and were already in partnerships with Bulbapedia, ZeldaWiki.org, and WiKirby
• Their inclusion means we don't have to make our own strategy guide wiki for Nintendo games and try to gain a foothold in a crowded net niche
• NIWA offers a more complete portfolio for Nintendo coverage having Strategy Wiki AND gives us an opportunity to work non-Nintendo coverage, I mean come on, Nintendo's titles can't be all you play.

More but it's time for dinner...

The Lounge / Re: Stupid, wierd, and wrong things you ever did.

« on: November 19, 2010, 01:59:31 AM »

wow I could fill this thread up with stories :p I'll try to stick to some of the funniest ones.

Stupid:
One morning I went to work early, no one was there, door was unlocked, so I opened it, walked to my locker and heard the alarm go off, police called and came by... I was embarrassed but couldn't stop laughing.

I once spilled an open bottle of baby oil on my friends' kitchen floor. I figured I could just mop it up with a dry mop, but when my friend stepped on it, OMG he cut a backflip and landed square on his butt.

Weird
I forgot I was wearing sunglasses one day and went around outside all night with them on. (No telling what people thought, but no one said anything about it)

Wrong
My friends and I were bowling, we never go bowling, but thanks to Wii bowling I was leading by less than 10 points to one of my friends and like 50 to everyone else. He's what I consider a srs bowler since he really focuses on the game and the rest of us just play around and send that ball down the alley while goofing off. So I sat in the chair by the floor, he took his bowling stance and started to run with the ball in all the proper form, I dived at his leg and he tripped, let go of the ball and had to live with missing the pins completely that turn. We all laughed.

Just a quick reply here then I'm locking it back. Static did indeed win it and it was mailed to him that following weekend. I've yet to receive confirmation from him that he received the game, but the USPO hasn't sent it back to me either, so I'm optimistic.
