There's a new item, the clown wig. It's meat helmet+clown skin. I don't know how to make new pages, can you please do this for me?--Sevault 17:31, 10 April 2007 (CDT)

• Done! Clown wig. I feel important now. ;) --TechSmurf 17:47, 10 April 2007 (CDT)

Hey, sorry for my terrible wiki editing for new pages, thanks for cleaning up my mess on the silicon-infused gluteal shield.--Lord Poopypants 22:56, 14 December 2007 (CST)

[edit] Super-Advanced Meatsmithing

The new page layout fails to indicate which secondary stat is boosted by asbestos weapons - swords give Mysticality, staves give Moxie, and crossbows give Muscle. --Quietust (t|c) 12:31, 19 April 2007 (CDT)

• Whoops. Added those in. The best way I could think of was more small text. I also took out the "Secondary Stat +5" from the column header, that made it sound like there was a third enchantment.

Hmm. The Improved Super Meatsmithing Weapons chart is also a bit unclear on the stat enhancements... I'm going to figure out a way to clean that chart up a bit, too.--TechSmurf 12:44, 19 April 2007 (CDT)

[edit]  :X

Sorry, I'm just getting used to editing pages. I keep thinking they look good.. and then when I look at them, they're all wrong. I'll try to condense my pressing of the Save button. --Valkron 18:42, 17 June 2007 (CDT)

Again, previewing before you submit is good for seeing if everything looks okay. --TechSmurf 18:44, 17 June 2007 (CDT)

Heh, looks like I took too long on making this chart; I was going to completely wipe the Silver Wossname discussion page, and put this there... what do you think? --Unnatural20 23:00, 7 July 2007 (CDT)

Looks pretty good! I'm just going to neaten it up a bit, then I'll shift it over to the talk page. I left some of the lines of discussion on there because they hadn't been resolved yet. The rest essentially stopped at "okay, this didn't work. Next idea?". --TechSmurf 23:31, 7 July 2007 (CDT)

-Hey, I was wondering if, as a wiki admin, you could remove some of the edit history for the Pile of smoking rags. Lookit the page and maybe you'll see why? I also asked Quietust. --Unnatural20 03:52, 12 July 2007 (CDT)

[edit] Choice

I'm sorry I had to delete your chart (at the very least, temporarily), because it prevented me from editing your talk page (screenshot here). Anyways, could you add note fields to the {{Combat}} template? it would help with such things as potential effects, bounty hunt drops, etc. --CG1||| 19:56, 27 July 2007 (CDT)

• That's odd. Oh well, the chart was old anyway. I had a reason for not adding the notes fields to the combat template at the time, but damned if I can remember what it was. In it goes! --TechSmurf 20:10, 27 July 2007 (CDT)
  • Am I not using it correctly, or are the notes not working? Testing it at User:Coolguy00001/Test, I found that it doesn't seem to work, and yet I included the "note1=Can give you Hardly Poisoned at All" part. Am I using ti wrong, or is there a mistake? --CG1||| 21:04, 27 July 2007 (CDT)
    • My mistake. All the note fields were working except for the first-- should be fine now. --TechSmurf 21:14, 27 July 2007 (CDT)

[edit] Imp equipment

Could the equipment for the Ragamuffin Imp be added to it's page? I doubt that this would spoil anything to do with the actual -solving- of the puzzle, even if it's not a hugely widely known thing. I also put a note in the Talk page for the familiar. --AtroPhied 20:54, 30 July 2007 (CDT)

• Well, er, no, it can't. Because it doesn't have any. --TechSmurf 20:58, 30 July 2007 (CDT)
  • Oh, so it does. I think... That's probably a bug. --TechSmurf 21:00, 30 July 2007 (CDT)
  • The item information on the wiki is incorrect. When the tiny bust of pallas first came out, it could be equipped on any familiar (not just the blackbird), including the imp. That bug has now been fixed, and I have tested it and confirmed that it can no longer be equipped to the imp. I have twice tried to get an imp-specific piece of equipment, but I only got a lead necklace both times. I don't know if the imp has a specific item yet, but if it does, it's definitely not the tiny bust of pallas. --Riznok 02:20, 22 August 2007 (CDT)

[edit] Silophant's New Adventures

There is a new link in the Gnomad's Camp, underneath the MicroMicroBrewery. It starts a new quest, Going Postal. These are the new adventures. They all seem to be noncombat, and they're always the first adventure in the area. It'd be boring, if I wasn't apparently the first person to discover them. --Silophant 19:09, 10 October 2007 (CDT)

[edit] Sake Bomb

Nice work on the sake bomb's deleveling. Any plans to check the analogous hippy item (ferret bait)?--Foggy 22:10, 19 October 2007 (CDT)

• Thanks. I'm getting there, one item at a time. ;) --TechSmurf 22:15, 19 October 2007 (CDT)

[edit] Tuxedo Shirt

That wasn't a phrasing change. As I wrote on the talk page, rockin' wagon never gave me more than 20 adventures with shirt and ode. Thus the bonus granted by the shirt is not more than +2 (at least on the high end). Saying that the bonus is similar to Ode to Booze implies that it's usually +4. --PlatypusNinja 22:45, 25 November 2007 (CST)

• Most testing it seems was done without ode so maybe ode messes with the tux shirt. --Chunky_boo 22:55, 25 November 2007 (CST)

[edit] Wallaby

You posted on the Wallaby talk page that there was rumor of a fix being pushed out. Did you ever get confirmation? --Lxndr 20:32, 19 December 2007 (CST)

• Just got the official confirmation from Jick. Woo! --TechSmurf 23:41, 20 December 2007 (CST)

[edit] AdventureTop Template

Yeah, sorry about that. It was just a quick fix while I tried to find the correct template for what I wanted. It will be fixed as soon as I am able too. --Chawmp 23:29, 19 December 2007 (CST)

[edit] Frobo

"Frobo" is the ingame slang for the GGG. I think it comes from "Food" + "Hobo", with an 'r' thrown in because "Fobo" sounds dumb(er). That or something else. But people use it in chat all the time. --Flargen 22:27, 4 April 2008 (CDT)

• Could be "Freeloader" + "Hobo" according to urban dictionary. I don't spend much time in chat anymore, so it's someone else's best guess on if, and how often, it is actually used. --JRSiebz (☎|§|‡) 22:36, 4 April 2008 (CDT)
  • Frobo is pretty common slang for the GGG, at least among diamonds. As flargen said, it's used to describe the GGG as a Food Hobo, with an extra "r" to make the word flow.--QuantumNightmare 23:21, 4 April 2008 (CDT)
    • Huh. I have never, ever heard that term used. Well, if it's a common slang, I'll bring it back. --TechSmurf 00:04, 5 April 2008 (CDT)
    • I'm with Tech. I've never EVER heard of this. --Ashallond 19:53, 7 May 2008 (CDT)
      • You need to hang out in /hardcore more often, apparently. --Flargen 00:27, 8 May 2008 (CDT)
        • It's also been used a bit in the Gameplay forums too --Shoptroll 15:24, 8 May 2008 (CDT)

[edit] New Drop Section Format

Sounds good to me. Thanks for clarifying :) --Shoptroll 12:47, 6 June 2008 (CDT)

[edit] hobos

Why did you move "hot hobo" to "Hot Hobo"? My clan's dungeon log doesn't have "hobo" capitalized. Similarly for Normal Hobo. And probably all other hobos, but we're a small clan and we've only gotten to the hot ones so far. Is there someplace else in the game that these names appear? --Flargen 05:41, 18 June 2008 (CDT)

• A) Because I like capital letters. B) Because I forgot they were capitalized that way. I shall move them back. --TechSmurf 19:26, 18 June 2008 (CDT)
  • So about that... --Flargen 18:14, 11 July 2008 (CDT)
    • Oh yeeeeah. About that. --TechSmurf 01:23, 12 July 2008 (CDT)
      • Yep. --Flargen 01:36, 12 July 2008 (CDT)
        • There! --TechSmurf 02:57, 12 July 2008 (CDT)
          • Yay! Thanks. --Flargen 02:59, 12 July 2008 (CDT)

[edit] BAN ME

PLSPLSPLS. --Bagatelle 18:09, 25 June 2008 (CDT)

• BANBANBAN. And balance is restored to the world. --TechSmurf 18:12, 25 June 2008 (CDT)

[edit] Inappropriate Backrub

The alternate message appeared on the first use of the skill against Ol' Scratch. I've used the skill another 50+ times on Normal hobos and it's yet to reappear; I'm wondering if it's a boss mechanic? I'm going to try the other 30 MP elemental skills against the appropriate subzone bosses (as soon as I unlock the area, I'm in a 2-person run) and see if there's other effects. --Ahamster 14:47, 13 July 2008 (CDT)

I figured something out about the alternate messages: they seem to only appear in the 6th round of combat, and so far only against Hobopolis bosses. I'm not getting anything against other hobos or regular enemies. Also, they're not based on elemental weaknesses; I was able to produce the Relaxing Campfire message against Oscus. --Ahamster 21:03, 21 July 2008 (CDT)

• Iiintersting. I wonder if they affect item drops in any way. --TechSmurf 21:21, 21 July 2008 (CDT)

Well, I finished up this Hobopolis run, and I can say for sure that these skills produce an alt message in the 6th round against Hobopolis bosses, including Hodgman. It doesn't seem to affect item drops (so far, anyway) but Hodgman only did 1 damage that round, missed the 2 subsequent rounds, and was back up to full steam thereafter. So at the moment, I'd say the effect looks to be some temporary relief against the bosses' attacks. --Ahamster 14:07, 29 July 2008 (CDT)

[edit] Your skill list

TechSmurf, darling, your skill list fails. You're missing Summon "Tasteful" Gifts, and the count of total skills should be 136, not 129.

I don't believe I can speak to you anymore. --Southwest 18:51, 23 July 2008 (CDT)

• I am the worst wiki admin ever and I will go sulk now. --TechSmurf 18:53, 23 July 2008 (CDT)

[edit] Hodgman and turn count

Do the special hodgman drops also require a day count? Because if my friend and I can take 10 days or so for a sub-3700 turn run and still get the whackin' stick, then huzzah! I'm guessing it requires 1 day, but since you didn't specify that on Hodgman's page I felt I should ask. --Flargen 18:47, 25 July 2008 (CDT)

• D'oh, yeah. Missed that. --TechSmurf 19:45, 25 July 2008 (CDT)

[edit] fyi, I didn't vandalise bag's USERpage

just an fyi techy baby, although I did vandalize Otori's page. I have no remorse. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SPNirology (talk • contribs)

• Then I've got none about getting rid of you. --TechSmurf 21:46, 30 July 2008 (CDT)

[edit] About the CCC

Hey, I don't even have it, I'm just editing in the fields. =P ДҖ--Finalheaven63^talk 23:33, 31 July 2008 (CDT)

[edit] Something interesting I noticed

Remember that guy (maybe guys) that were removing the NPC buy notes from the football helmet and yellow plastic hard hat? Seems they were trying to manipulate the market by creating artificial rarity: football helmet spikes coincide with wiki edits; similarly with the hard hat. Just noticed this as I was farting around in the wiki's marketplace tracker and got curious. --Flargen 18:44, 7 August 2008 (CDT)

• Huh, clever. Of course, he's still a jackass who's going to get banned the second he makes an account to do it again, but he's a clever jackass. --TechSmurf 19:27, 7 August 2008 (CDT)
