=Glossary of (un)familiar terms= drop your term here and someone will define it.

shotty: shotgun

DPS: damage per second

proc: Proc is a common term used primarily in game programming to refer to an event - a "procedure" - triggered under particular circumstances.

stack: end result is additive (+150% critical damage from sniper rifle stacks with mordecai's +6% critical damage from deadly skill)

DOT: damage over time

area of effect: "splash damage" non-point focal damage over area

FPRPG: first person role playing game

Flinch: is when you shoot an enemy and they temporarily stop, like how shooting a charging Badass Psycho enough can make it stop for a moment.

Non-Trigger Damage: bullet and rocket damage only, not elemental (proc:see above) damage. directed damage not involving DOT or area of effect. this term was made up by a user for use on his/her forum and should in no way be considered a gaming term

Accuracy Recovery: this is the time it takes your sights to stop wavering and give you an _accurate_ sight picture.

construct: a weapon/item put together in WT so that it is legit however it has all parts geared for a purpose (damage, tech, ROF, recharge, regen, power)

WT: Willowtree

ROF: Rate of fire

namespace: user namespace

mainspace: main namespace

speedloader: the half/full moon clips depicted in the game, used to load revolver, shotgun and sniper cylinders.

clip: incorrectly used to replace magazine. unfortunately due to the ignorance rule it is more widely used and must be trained out of initiates into the military, arms and/or munitions industries and those choosing to speak coherently. (does gearbot actually use the words "clip size" for magazine size?)

The Fudd: the seeming dance performed by players sorting through craw or loot-n-the-box drops. slowly moving, weapon in hand, looking down or directly ahead. "be vewy kwyette, im hunting ___"

aggro: short for aggravate, is an internal measurement for how much of a threat the AI considers an individual player to be. The more aggro a player holds, the more highly that player will be prioritized for attacks and skill usage by the AI. Commonly misused instead of the term "pull" (i.e. aggro that enemy = pull that enemy).

kite: staying at a distance, using ranged attacks, and running whenever the enemy comes near. the player doing the kiting leads the enemy around.

DR.
A, Dr.F, are you a real Dr., or is that just your screen name?
 * i am in fact not a doctor of any kind. dr clayton forester was a character from war of the worlds and on mystery science theater 3000, a tv show on comedy central and the sci-fi channel. 17:47, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

Signatures
Do only sysops,moderators or admins get unique custom signatures? ☻BLObOrt☻ 16:18, March 17, 2010 (UTC)

No, Any user can have a custom signature if they wish, there is a section on my talk page which tells you how, look for Claptraps post< 16:58, March 17, 2010 (UTC)

j-nox is correct. anyone can have a custom sig. make a page with your sig. then make a page refering to the first. enter the second page into your preferences pane for signature. it is preferable to have these pages under your user:namespace (such as user:blobort/sig & user:blobort/sig/prefs) 20:20, March 17, 2010 (UTC)

TFC not installing
hey doc, i recently DL'ed the 5th column, and i went to run the installer and it couldn't find anything to do w/ my install directory, can you help me by either telling me what to do or emailing me the files and the ones for the scrap hole (and The Abandoned Badlands (if you have it))(w/ a text document telling me where to put the files). because i really wanna play TFCand the others that I specified. 03:45, November 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * if you have the steam copy of the game i cannot help at this time unless there is an update to the thread linked. for vanilla install i recommend (being the type not prone to trusting installers) unpacking the files with 7zip and placing them in a working folder C:\Anywhere. and then copy/pasting them to the willowgame folder by hand. if needed i may have a compressed drag and drop version i could send via raptr. let me know which. 03:47, November 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * note - steam patch is incompatible w/ dr. zed patch
 * I've got the vanilla game, and why can't you send me a message w/ the email user function, and then i'll reply so you can actually attach a .rar file with all the files i need (just sayin that, because i'm outta net at home and i can DL the files at school w/ the email that i use here (it's a different address to my raptr one (and unfortunately, i cant access raptr, or the email address that is connected to my raptr acct @ school))). 04:03, November 8, 2011 (UTC)

Case and point
I've told him how to make a forum topic in his address bar, seeing as how your leaving a box and button to make a new forum topic DIRECTLY ON HIS TALK PAGE went ignored, and repeated to him (as you and other already had) to fix his sig in his preferences. Veg and I have directed him to the wiki editing help page a total of 5 combined times now. I don't think this user is stupid. I can be patient with stupid. Like I said in my response to you on my talk page, it's a matter of him just not following directions, which there is no matter of carrot or stick that can remedy. This is my frustration. 23:13, November 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * this sounds like a job for (da dum dadaa!) . . . someone else.


 * sigh* As you wish.  23:23, November 11, 2011 (UTC)

Not particularly important
But if no one minds or sees it as a form of spamming, I was thinking I could take sometime to periodically bump the forum topics that have been dropped of the mainpage queue due to the archives project back to the top, so that they may be more easily tracked by any new or inexperienced users that created or contributed to them. Athannay had remarked that he thought his topic was deleted, likely due to it no longer being on the mainpage where he oculd see it before, so I thought it may be helpful for peeps in his place. Anyway, worth my time/unnecessary/spammy? 20:04, November 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * for the non archives? sure, knock y'self out. we are waiting to see if mr holmes is willing to seek/follow help or is in fact a troll. if the latter you and NOhara may proceed w/ flamethrowers. otherwise yes. a :bump w/ bump summary makes perfect sense. 20:10, November 12, 2011 (UTC)

I can bust out my flamethrower again?! OH WONDROUS DAY! 19:01, November 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * this does in no way relieve you of your primary duty of daily review(s). you may think of every edit i make that is not to a talk or forum addressing me personally as a failure on your part.

I know that I'd still be hall monitor, but if every edit missed is a "failure", you can get someone else to do the daily reviews. It's impossible for me to spend every waking second on the wiki and get to every single edit before you do. I review the edits at a minimum of once per day (between the hours of 6-7AM my time because the wiki is actually quiet then), often doing much more than the original "5 minutes a day" as originally stated in my job description.Not to mention the Archives Project going on does make my job significantly harder because it's difficult to see what's actually going on.

I'm a student first, Assistant Project Manager second, Wiki Admin third. I doubt you would have any discrepancies with how my priorities are arranged. And if you do, fine. I'll drop out of here faster than Robot. 15:20, November 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * you might want to promote ladies' man, gamer, and some others to a priority above wiki admin. abstractions should come in behind providence and objectives.  also we should have established conditions on your job like making allowances for overhaul spam and losing key wiki personnel.  just please be nice to the new users.  rigidity and hostility do not a good sysop make.   18:01, November 21, 2011 (UTC)

I didn't say that I'd be hitting fun button on the flamethrower, I'm just happy that it's acceptable for display above the fireplace in the living room in the Asteroid again. I polished it and everything.

Overhaul spam is something that I'm trying to work through, not that I'm actually reviewing every single one of those (I don't need to review Veg, Raz, or Fatman, they're all established editors in their own right.) it just clogs the activity feed. Worst robot's presence notwithstanding, I understand that talking to a sysop is supposed to be a pleasant experience, not that I haven't tried to make it one as of late. 18:57, November 21, 2011 (UTC)

Also, Ladies man always comes fourth. Internet is serious business. 19:07, November 21, 2011 (UTC)

-Carnage edit
Saw the undo for the carnage page-

So even though it has the carnage effects, because it's a variant of the Bulldog (and always has that title) the current stats have to stay?

As somebody who's been collecting the things for a while, would it be fine to put the higher stats into trivia or something so anyone else interested would know that there are better models out there? 00Average 03:28, November 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * it is noted on the bulldog page. putting it on the carnage page would be misleading as a ^(legitimate) twenty round carnage will always be named bulldog. 03:37, November 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * Kk; hadn't realized 1.9 rof was the top fire rate for vanilla bulldogs too. Figured the combo carnage/bulldog max would be swallowed up by better stats on a standard 'dog.  I'll do more crossreferencing next time. 00Average 04:20, November 19, 2011 (UTC)

not a problem. it is the best carnage and arguably the best bulldog in the game so i understand your interest. 14:42, November 19, 2011 (UTC)

greeter/reply

 * Sorry for being nosey, but I just wanted to say Doc, that I do care about making new users feel welcome. It is one of the things that i love about this wiki compared to others i have visited. That said, the reason " I " dont greet as many users anymore is that I am confident that Lynn is going to come along and greet them. This gives me the ability to concentrate on other projects and the like. In fact, I kinda depend on Her for it. I Too, am glad to have you, Lynn, as a member of this wiki and the greet team for this very reason. --Veggienatersml.png 04:12, November 21, 2011 (UTC)

Thank you!
Thanks for the message Dr.F!! I love Borderlands, and love the fact that there are always new people picking the game up and giving the addiction a try. Im happy to help. 15:05, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

"needs help, in the worst way"

Yeah, I noticed the missing tag message and added one. Judging by the state of the references, it's been missing for a while...

 * many were deleted probly b/c they appeared to not be used. there should also not be images anywhere but the table.  oh well, theres plenty of work there for someone.   11:08, December 2, 2011 (UTC)

question everything you are told
i have noticed that the more people wikia hires and puts on staff, the more they seem to need to add features which supposedly do more but in reality give me less. for those of you who remember the monaco side bar, that was the best feature we had, new kids - imagine the topnav on the left and had as many mouseover rows as desired. just remember kids just b/c its new doesnt mean its better. for example OS X Lion and iOS5, two New and Improved "products" that were and remained vastly inferior to their predecessors. for the not so young see: WinVista and every IE since 5. the more vehemence you perceive in the message given the more i caution you to criticize what is being said in your "single-serving newscast." that said. a subtle message repeated over and again seemingly of little importance is more insidious still. the latter slips into the hind-brain unnoticed and unhindered by reason. wikia is just _a_ community, and ad supported @ that, however comma thats no reason we cannot learn from what we experience here. in a week i get 3 or 4 of the above notives mixed with the rest being a more accurate daily count. no explanation of the discrepancy, just a gentle deprecation that wikia staff can help raise that shameful zero (presumably on the off days).

Seek Out Tannis edits
Just wondering, how come you removed my reference to Raiders Of The Lost Ark on the Seek Out Tannis page? I'm not necessarily saying you're wrong, I'd just like to understand the reason. Plenty of other pages make note of the game's various movie references, so why not that one?--Leigh Burne 14:19, January 12, 2012 (UTC)

For everything else, see User:Daemmerung/Daze, which lists every infernal affliction that I could remember. If anything else belongs on that page, let me know. I'm planning on populating its contents tonight. Dämmerung 00:56, January 20, 2012 (UTC)

Your policing of me.
Do you really think that I'm just going around undoing things with reckless abandon? The only reason you undid me was because I didn't leave a message on the user's page. Which, if you look, you'll see their name is in red, and thus they "don't exist". Or if you think undoing an edit that revealed a major plot twist (without a spoiler alert) was overkill, please let me know. 15:38, January 20, 2012 (UTC)

Can we really expect not to have spoilers here? This wiki is full of spoilers, as is its nature. Folks who want to remain unspoiled shouldn't come here, should they? Dämmerung 16:09, January 20, 2012 (UTC)
