User talk:Sauron18

Welcome to the wiki, Sauron18. Feel free to say a few words about yourself on your User page. --Spencerian 10:52, 24 December 2005 (EST)

You were looking for a higher res image of this... ;) --Mercifull 14:54, 24 April 2006 (CDT)

Ooh, thanks. That's perfect =) --Sauron18 18:56 24 April 2006

Kudos

Great image: Image:FTL1.jpg. Props for that. --Day ^{(Talk - Admin)} 23:06, 26 June 2006 (CDT)

Haha, thanks :) I didn't cap it though, just found it somewhere ;) --Sauron18 07:32 27 June 2006 (CDT)

Where did it come from. Credit will be needed unless we remake the image ourselves. --Mercifull ^{(T - C - E)} 07:35, 27 June 2006 (CDT)

A livejournal user called "ariane179254". Actually, I did normally credit the original capper before, but every time I did other users from here would go in and remove the name of the user from the credits, so I stopped doing it because of that, otherwise I'd had continued. And if someone could clear up the credit thing it would be nice, because when I put it in it was taken out, and when I didn't.... I just crop them. --Sauron18 09:15 27 June 2006(CDT)

Credit belongs on the Image's page and, as long as it's a cap from the show, I think we just credit Universal with one of the templates. You might bring this up on Requested Images or something so it's more visible to folks. --Day ^{(Talk - Admin)} 15:43, 27 June 2006 (CDT)

Hey Sauron18, this is Homeworld616. I just wanted to thank you for that mind-blowing map and Merovingian's theory you sent me. I had no idea people actually calculated that stuff. I think its awesome, so thanks! By the way, I didn't know if you had checked the reply I gave on my talk page so in order to make sure you got it I left one on your page as well. I'm new here, so I could be doing something wrong by posting a reply here. Tell me if that's the case. Anyway, thanks for the map! If you haven't already seen it, I made an article called Unnamed Cities of Caprica. Check it out if you are interested. See ya. --Homeworld616 10:28, 28 June 2006 (CDT)

Hey, it's perfectly alright to post here :). Ah yes, it was mainly Merv's calculations, which I found to be pretty cool, mainly because I don't feel like they're really moving in space unless I see a map ;p. That's also why I loved your article, because I had a similar feeling with Helo and Sharon in Season 1 --Sauron18 18:00 28 June 2006 (CDT)

So you loved my article! That feels good. Peter liked it too. The Merovingian actually thought there was too much detail in my descriptions, but he was okay with that as long as Peter supported the article. I'm a bit curious to find out your reaction to my level of detail, as reactions have ranged from "excellent" to "too much." In case you weren't aware, (which I bet you are at this point), Spencerian thought that he could use your map and Merv's calculations in his article Science in the Re-imagined Series. I checked it out earlier today and it is an extremely cool part of this wiki. Also, I had the same feeling you had regarding Helo and Sharon's movement. I actually thought they were in the same city (namely, an older section of Caprica City), until I saw some talk pages and I found out that there were two unnamed cities entirely separate from Caprica City, which of course, was BLOWN UP. I'll talk to you later. Homeworld out ;). --Homeworld616 19:36, 28 June 2006 (CDT)

I think it was an excellent article, I didn't know it was 2 Cities, and I had never actually thought too much about where they were walking, since it felt like they were always in the same place, so it really helped with the positioning of their trail, helped me imagine how they were sort of running deeper towards the continent, away from the sea, so that was quite cool --Sauron18 20:22 28 June 2006 (CDT)

All right, my curiosity has been appeased. I'll keep you posted if I roll out any new articles. I'm trying to plan some rigt now. It's frustrating, however, because whenever I remember a detail from the series (i.e. The Colonial Gang,), I find that there's already an article on it! About five ideas of mine have been terminated abruptly by preexisting articles. Oh well. Consequences of not joining the wiki for a while. I've got a new lead, however, and I'll see if it's been written up. I'll keep you posted. --Homeworld616 01:20, 29 June 2006 (CDT)

Jackpot! Not really, but my new lead was articleless, so I got to create another one! I just wrote and posted the article Caprica Beach. It's a stub so it will probably take you 10 seconds to read, if you want to of course. Contact me if you mind other cool stuff ;).

Awesome Findings

I was just looking back at the Caprica City article when I noticed the images you put up there. NICE WORK! Those are awesome, and so clean and detailed. I can't believe you found such a golden source for those photos. Also, those images helped me to clear up some of the city locations and gave me a better "feel" for the city's layout. You've done some great work improving the articles here. Just wanted to let you know how thrilled I was with your work. :) --Homeworld616 18:31, 13 July 2006 (CDT)

Thanks, I'm glad you liked them :) --Sauron18 10:39, 16 July 2006 (CDT)

No problem. I'm surprised they didn't use those images in the Miniseries, whoever made them was a whiz. --Homeworld616 10:24, 20 July 2006 (CDT)

Colonial Toasters are Real Toasters!

See that Colonial toaster, which you must since this image is a whole ton of pixels. I was in a kitchen shop the other day (don't ask why) and, believe it or not, I saw the exact same brand of toaster for sale, from the style to dial to the doubl-slots to the "evil red eye" (the activation switch). This brand of toaster is made by Dualit, although their logo appears to have been edited out for the series (appropriate, since if viewers saw an Earth corporation in the Colonies it would lead to crazy theories surfacing on Internet forums). Can you believe the reality of this??? I have to buy that toaster now! --Homeworld616 23:58, 24 July 2006 (CDT)

• Really? That's cool, and funny. Oddly enough, that toaster always reminded me of Six's metal case which she carried around in the miniseries (And "Epiphanies"). There was also some debate with Starbuck's Hummer in "VOD" (I think it was) Maybe you should include a mention of it in the "Toaster" article (Even if it is one of the Silly ones:p).--Sauron18 01:12, 25 July 2006 (CDT)

I think I will put it in the Toaster article, although it is a good question as to where. I suppose I could insert it in a "Notes" section. I'll investigate the article now. --Homeworld616 22:49, 25 July 2006 (CDT)
