So, I'm Guywithafedora, and I'm your host this morning/afternoon/evening. *tips hat* I'm somewhat new in the neighborhood, and naturally would appreciate it if some kindly souls would come over and show me around. I can show you around along with a lot of other users. Feel free to ask anything about the site. Darkcloud1111~Fastest Hero Alive 04:44, March 8, 2011 (UTC) Why thank you. *shakes hands* Could you kindly explain about these "cabins" users can supposedly join? Guywithafedora (talk • contribs) 04:57, March 8, 2011 (UTC) This site has 4 different wiki cabins (Hermes/Ares/Demeter/Apollo). Each cabin does something different, with Apollo adding pictures and Hermes helping new users. You can add your name to a list of Wiki Cabins and add a userbox to your page or ask someone to do it for you. When I first got on this site, I found it easier to simply ask the cabin members when I had a question about something (policy/codes/ect.) but now it is easier just to ask high ranking members because they help out a lot. If I'm not around, you can ask Courtney_di_Angelo, TheGhostMan, or PerseusJackson. all good users on this site and are willing to help anyone. Darkcloud1111~Fastest Hero Alive 05:13, March 8, 2011 (UTC) Yes, a high ranking member such as yourself. So what do Ares and Demeter do? Guywithafedora (talk • contribs) 05:18, March 8, 2011 (UTC) Ares deals with fighting vandalism, something that has at the very least slowed down over the past week but still pops up every now and again, but is normally dealt with very fast. Demeter deals with Wiki Growth and Promotions. I'm not really sure what they do, but that is why I am not a member. I help new users and fight vandalism so you arent limited to one cabins. Darkcloud1111~Fastest Hero Alive 05:22, March 8, 2011 (UTC) ==Hi!== Welcome to the Wiki. That was me, sorry I forget to put my sig sometiems "Beware the Jabberwokk my son; The jaws that bite, the claws that scratch." (talk • contribs) 05:04, March 8, 2011 (UTC) Ah, I take it you're one of the more experienced users? Guywithafedora (talk • contribs) 05:08, March 8, 2011 (UTC) yes and no, I try and help out in editing or adding pages when I think I can help, but i only started on the wiki last week...and finished all the books the week before that..."Beware the Jabberwokk my son; The jaws that bite, the claws that scratch." (talk • contribs) 06:00, March 8, 2011 (UTC) I see. Well, fee glad that there's a user newer than you. *grins* Guywithafedora, The Voice of Reason in Any Argument (talk • contribs) 05:17, March 9, 2011 (UTC) *laughs* Whoever sent that, I appreciate it. Guywithafedora (talk • contribs) 04:58, March 8, 2011 (UTC) == Ares Cabin == Ares cabin as yours truly is a member of handles all the vandalism that occurs on the wiki. One example of vandalism i occured was somebody saying Annabeth was Percy's sex slave. Now if we were to spot that as Ares Cabin Members we would have to erase said vandalism and repair the damage and then warn the vandal. TheGhostMan May the Underworld protect your soul when you enter. 05:23, March 8, 2011 (UTC) I remember that one, I think I was the one that reported him/her and fixed the page. Good times, good times. Darkcloud1111~Fastest Hero Alive 05:24, March 8, 2011 (UTC) Wow. *laughs* Sounds like something I'd like to do. Helping new members sounds like a rewarding job too. Could you teach me how to join exactly? Mind taking in an apprentice? *grins* Guywithafedora (talk • contribs) 05:28, March 8, 2011 (UTC) Well, first you add your name to the list of cabin members using the Wiki Cabin link and then you add the userbox of that cabin to your userpage, but when you pick a cabin(s), I can add those for you. Darkcloud1111~Fastest Hero Alive 05:32, March 8, 2011 (UTC) Sorry, forgot to tell you. The members list is inside the link to the cabins. Just click a cabin name on that page I sent you a link to. Then just scroll down and you will see it. Awesome. Thanks, people! Oh, by the way, how do you make links like it is on the members list?? Guywithafedora (talk • contribs) 05:53, March 8, 2011 (UTC) Apollo Ares Demeter Hermes Darkcloud1111~Fastest Hero Alive 05:49, March 8, 2011 (UTC) What I do is copy the link to your user page and when you go to add your name, hit the Add Link thing up top on the edit page. Paste the link in the first box and then your name in the second. You can also just use this: User: and replace username with your actual user name. Darkcloud1111~Fastest Hero Alive 05:57, March 8, 2011 (UTC) Thanks a lot! You people are awesome! Sorry for wasting your time! Guywithafedora (talk • contribs) 06:01, March 8, 2011 (UTC) Remember what you typed just a little while ago. "Helping new members sounds like a rewarding job," and it is. It isnt a waste of time to help, on this site or in real life. Darkcloud1111~Fastest Hero Alive 06:03, March 8, 2011 (UTC) *salutes* I'll remember. I'm now officially in the Hermes Cabin, except for the userbox thing. Onward to the Ares Cabin! I promise to be a good member and to do my best to make this wiki the best it can be! Guywithafedora (talk • contribs) 06:12, March 8, 2011 (UTC) I added the user boxes for the Hermes and Ares cabins and a claimed tag for Apollo (as it is your cabin of choice). You can always change that later. I have to leave you in the hands of the other users now because I have to be awake in about 5 hours for work, oh boy. Darkcloud1111'~Fastest Hero Alive 06:15, March 8, 2011 (UTC) yes i can help youPerseusJackson'-Leader and Protector of all Demigods 13:01, March 8, 2011 (UTC) Sorry but i was not on last night...........anyhow all the information above is correct........the best persons to contact if you need help would be me, Courtney and Darkcloud and TheGhostMan PerseusJackson'-Leader and Protector of all Demigods 13:31, March 8, 2011 (UTC) btw high ranking does not always mean good(i an not sure i can say that since i am ranked #1) it is just a coincidence that all of us helpful ones are high rankingPerseusJackson'-Leader and Protector of all Demigods 13:33, March 8, 2011 (UTC) Sure no problem! What do you need help with? AthletigerTalk 14:35, March 8, 2011 (UTC) P.S.I'm on the West Coast of the US, so I will not be here for, let me see, 7,8,9,10,11,12,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 twelve hours. You can certainly ask me any question, but if you're looking for a speedy answer, i suggest you to talk to Perseus or Darkcloud for today talk to me oooooh yeah you can also cantact Moodle and AthletigerPerseusJackson-Leader and Protector of all Demigods 14:43, March 8, 2011 (UTC) I've already contacted the Tiger person. *grins* Though here's a question: How was my account found by Darkcloud even before I went to the top users for advice? How was I found so easily? Guywithafedora (talk • contribs) 15:02, March 8, 2011 (UTC) when you edit we see your username and click on itPerseusJackson-Leader and Protector of all Demigods 15:51, March 8, 2011 (UTC) Aaahhh...... I see. So, what EXACTLY does the Demeter Cabin do? DarkCloud tried to explain it to me, but It kind of left me confused.

 * Nope he should be a Hermes Kid since he's a jack of all trades. Not a Poseidon kid. TheGhostMan May the Underworld protect your soul when you enter. 17:06, March 8, 2011 (UTC) *laughs* Exactly! Oh, by the way, what's with these forums I keep hearing about? And how did the cabins here get started? Guywithafedora, The Voice of Reason in Any Argument (talk • contribs) 17:51, March 8, 2011 (UTC) Greeting and welcome to camp! I'm Sirius, the camps youngest admin, member of all cabins, Reverter of Vandalism, bla bla bla (lots of boring achievemnts). I'd just like to make sure you're doin alright so far, and notify you that you can write on my talk page if you have any questions or need help. Vgfsirius (talk • contribs) 17:45, March 8, 2011 (UTC) Hey there! Join the Party! So, what's the difference between an admin and a regular user? Guywithafedora, The Voice of Reason in Any Argument (talk • contribs) 17:51, March 8, 2011 (UTC) Usually a years expirence. they are additionally granted/burdened with: ■Deleting and undeleting pages, page histories, and uploaded files. ■Locking (protecting) a page so it cannot be edited or renamed by users without admin rights. ■Blocking IP addresses or user names from editing; and very quick "rollback" of undesirable edits. ■Editing the interface by changing system messages and skins. Vgfsirius (talk • contribs) 18:07, March 8, 2011 (UTC) you are now a Demeter Cabin memberPerseusJackson'-Leader and Protector of all Demigods 19:14, March 8, 2011 (UTC) yea i do everything here ...............and i amvery good at them allPerseusJackson'-Leader and Protector of all Demigods 19:14, March 8, 2011 (UTC) you know you can put your stats in a userbox?PerseusJackson'-Leader and Protector of all Demigods 19:17, March 8, 2011 (UTC) You mean like my age, family, and other such things? Guywithafedora, The Voice of Reason in Any Argument (talk • contribs) 19:38, March 8, 2011 (UTC) yepPerseusJackson'-Leader and Protector of all Demigods 21:46, March 8, 2011 (UTC) I added a character box for you. to edit you just need to clcik Edit Profile and a green thing will be in the top left corner. Hold your mouse over it (you dont have to click it) and an image of what it looks like on your profile appears. if you havent done so, scroll downa little and under that image is an edit link. Click it and will out the information. Darkcloud1111'~Fastest Hero Alive 00:12, March 9, 2011 (UTC) Dude, you're awesome! You're my sensei from now on! By the way, I found a new user called XxTammyxX. Could you contact her? Guywithafedora, The Voice of Reason in Any Argument (talk • contribs) 00:14, March 9, 2011 (UTC) I think XxTawnyxX did something wrong but I dont know what to do...They moved their userpae because they spelled it wrong, but they moved it to an actual page which oes against the rules of the site. It is an interesting situation. Darkcloud1111'~Fastest Hero Alive 00:29, March 9, 2011 (UTC) Indeed. I'll inform her of this if you don't mind. You fix it. That way, both duties are fulfilled. Sound good, sensei? Guywithafedora, The Voice of Reason in Any Argument (talk • contribs) 00:31, March 9, 2011 (UTC) i oove to help out :). okay so go to the wiki cabins and when you are there you will see links to the cabins. click on one of the cabins and then you will get ot the page about what that cabin does and if you scroll down you will see the list of members. just go into edit and put your name there. if you need help with anything else just ask and i'll get on it. as i said i love to help. Good luck in whatever you do, whether you're on a quest or just editing a page. -Courtney (talk • contribs) 00:37, March 9, 2011 (UTC) I'm not really sure how to fix this one. I sent this to one of the admins to figure it out because they are better at fixing things like this. This is the first time I have ever seen this happen to be honest. Darkcloud1111'~Fastest Hero Alive 00:39, March 9, 2011 (UTC) Hmmm..... interesting. So Ares are like the cops of the wiki, and we're not sure whether to make an arrest or not is basically what's happening? On another note, it seems that we've written a complete manual on how to use the wiki on my talk page. *smirks* Guywithafedora, The Voice of Reason in Any Argument (talk • contribs) 00:45, March 9, 2011 (UTC) agreedPerseusJackson'-Leader and Protector of all Demigods 00:48, March 9, 2011 (UTC) Which situation do you agree with, Perseus? The problem or my observation? Guywithafedora, The Voice of Reason in Any Argument (talk • contribs) 00:49, March 9, 2011 (UTC) the observationPerseusJackson'-Leader and Protector of all Demigods 00:50, March 9, 2011 (UTC) need any more help(sorry i was not on much today...........studyingPerseusJackson'-Leader and Protector of all Demigods 00:51, March 9, 2011 (UTC) Well, there's the problem that DarkCloud1111 and I are facing, and I have an idea for the wiki. We could scrape together all of the information that we've collected on this page and then create a guide to help the Hermes Cabin know what to teach new users! Guywithafedora, The Voice of Reason in Any Argument (talk • contribs) 00:55, March 9, 2011 (UTC) hmmmmmmmmmm.............BRILLIANT IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PerseusJackson'-Leader and Protector of all Demigods 00:56, March 9, 2011 (UTC) *hangs on to hat as I'm blown away by outburst, then gets back up* I take it you appreciate my idea. So, we'll run this by the other top users, then get to work?Guywithafedora, The Voice of Reason in Any Argument (talk • contribs) 00:59, March 9, 2011 (UTC) Ya, Perseus does that a lot. Darkcloud1111'~Fastest Hero Alive 01:12, March 9, 2011 (UTC) *laughs* You mean suddenly yell? What do you think, sensei? Guywithafedora, The Voice of Reason in Any Argument (talk • contribs) 01:15, March 9, 2011 (UTC) i was reading the votes for the new leader for the ares cabin and i saw that you wanted to vote for me for the hermes cabin. this is the page for the votes. thanks for your vote of confidence. i won't let people down. Good luck in whatever you do, whether you're on a quest or just editing a page. -Courtney (talk • contribs) 04:14, March 9, 2011 (UTC) *grins* In my opinion, the real decision is between you and DarkCloud1111. I don't believe someone who's an admin should have the post. It just wouldn't be fair. Guywithafedora, The Voice of Reason in Any Argument (talk • contribs) 04:23, March 9, 2011 (UTC) *That would be nice, except I'm also running for an admin spot. Darkcloud1111'~Fastest Hero Alive 04:29, March 9, 2011 (UTC) *sighs* Tell me this: What exactly does an admin DO? Guywithafedora, The Voice of Reason in Any Argument (talk • contribs) 04:31, March 9, 2011 (UTC) Different users have access to different functions of the site. While anyone can do most things on the site, including reading and editing, administrators can access a few additional functions: *Deleting and undeleting pages, page histories, and uploaded files. *Locking (protecting) a page so it cannot be edited or renamed by users without admin rights. *Blocking IP addresses or user names from editing; and very quick "rollback" of undesirable edits. *Editing the interface by changing system messages and skins. Darkcloud1111'~Fastest Hero Alive 04:38, March 9, 2011 (UTC) Once again you prove yourself worthy of being the Counselor. *sighs* Still, it would only be fair if a) all of the Cabin leaders were admins, or b) admins couldn't be counselors. Though, do you WANT to be the Hermes Counselor? Guywithafedora, The Voice of Reason in Any Argument (talk • contribs) 04:43, March 9, 2011 (UTC) Not really, I mean it would be cool to be the head of a cabin, but the cabins dont really serve there purpose anymore. plus, I wouldnt know what to do as a cabin leader as I find it easier just to help the people I can as I am now. There has also been talk of deleting the cabins as you dont need to be part of a cabin to help people or stop vandalism. Darkcloud1111'~Fastest Hero Alive 04:47, March 9, 2011 (UTC) Deleting the cabins would be a bad idea. The sense of belonging will give pride to the users and motivate them to do the cabin's duties. If anything, we ought to ADD cabins, not DELETE THEM. There's always more to be done. Guywithafedora, The Voice of Reason in Any Argument (talk • contribs) 05:00, March 9, 2011 (UTC) I see that you took my advice; you asked other people. AthletigerTalk 04:52, March 9, 2011 (UTC) P.S. Any OTHER help? In the wiki or the book? (Demeter cabin) AthletigerTalk 04:55, March 9, 2011 (UTC) I did indeed ask other people. I have the Demeter thing figured out, but I DO have another question. I've seen userboxes saying "this user like Poseidon" Or Hades or Hermes, etc. But is there one of those for HESTIA?? Guywithafedora, The Voice of Reason in Any Argument (talk • contribs) 05:00, March 9, 2011 (UTC) I might be interested, what kind of quest did you have in mind?"Beware the Jabberwokk my son; The jaws that bite, the claws that scratch." (talk • contribs) 05:25, March 9, 2011 (UTC) You're writing a story? That is pretty cool, I'm the featured user of the month right now over at the fanfic site. Darkcloud1111'~Fastest Hero Alive 05:31, March 9, 2011 (UTC) I'm always writing a story. That's just my thing. This one happens to be one about demigods. You could join my quest crew, sensei. My max is five people. Guywithafedora, The Voice of Reason in Any Argument (talk • contribs) 05:36, March 9, 2011 (UTC) I made a pair of bracers that transform into a gladius or a bladed shield (a square shield with a blade at the end that can act as a weapon by itself as well as defense) of Imperial gold, as well as a small imperial gold dragon that can breath fire...and wears a top hat...no idea what the top hat does yet..."Beware the Jabberwokk my son; The jaws that bite, the claws that scratch." (talk • contribs) 05:38, March 9, 2011 (UTC) Not this time, I just finished my third story in the past month and I'm going to take a short break for awhile. Darkcloud1111'~Fastest Hero Alive 05:39, March 9, 2011 (UTC) Too bad. I'd have liked to have had you along. Say, got any info on Luna, the daughter of Artemis? Guywithafedora, The Voice of Reason in Any Argument (talk • contribs) 05:41, March 9, 2011 (UTC) unfortunately, I am currently working on a large project, but I wish you the best on your quest."Beware the Jabberwokk my son; The jaws that bite, the claws that scratch." (talk • contribs) 05:47, March 9, 2011 (UTC) Oh ya, I helped her out when she first got on this site. She is working on a story over at the fanfic site called Luna Silver, Daughter of Artemis and because I read her story, I tried writing my own. I got such good reviews I wrote another and it became the Article of the Month, go figure. She has been busy for the past week or two so I dont know how soon she will respond.Darkcloud1111'~Fastest Hero Alive 05:48, March 9, 2011 (UTC) Wow. She seems like a worthy ally. Another one that interests me: Daughter of Hecate. Know her? Guywithafedora, The Voice of Reason in Any Argument (talk • contribs) 05:51, March 9, 2011 (UTC) She is a new user, I helped her with her infobox, but she just joined a few days ago so I dont know her that well. Darkcloud1111'~Fastest Hero Alive 05:57, March 9, 2011 (UTC) Hmmm...... well, if I can get them, it'll be a team of three, which is how quests are supposed to be carried out. I just need a prophecy. Guywithafedora, The Voice of Reason in Any Argument (talk • contribs) 06:01, March 9, 2011 (UTC) If you know how the story is going to end (I always think of the end before the beginning), then whip out a rhyming dictionary and make the lines a cryptic as possible. Darkcloud1111'~Fastest Hero Alive 06:05, March 9, 2011 (UTC) Indeed. So, assassination of traitor demigods. They need to be unique. Like a son of Erebus. You know, I've been entertaining the idea of titans having kids with mortals like the gods do.
