Interview
by Superchao (Talk)Superchao: Hello, 'Shroom readers! After yet another temporary gap, I am back with another interview!
Superchao: And our guest today is one Super-Yoshi/TheFreshPrince!
Super-Yoshi: Hi im tfp and this is an interview.
Super-Yoshi: Dude idk if I can do this
Superchao: Well, we'll just have to try, won't we?
Super-Yoshi: Good joke
Superchao: Thanks man
Super-Yoshi: Np
Superchao: Anyhow, to get started with the actual questions. How'd you find the wiki?
Super-Yoshi: You know how back in the good ol days youd search up the internet for like faqs n shit like that
Super-Yoshi: And people be printin like pages of cheats
Superchao: Yup, I did that all the time.
Superchao: Lemme guess, that got you to here?
Super-Yoshi: Haha yea, so I was searching up some stuff for Yoshi: Touch & Go, found an article on Mariowiki, it barely had shit in it, but I kept a bookmark cause I thought this would be a site where it was like IGN or Gamespot
Super-Yoshi: So I didn't really care for it later, but I think after a while I was searching up some Super Mario Galaxy things, I couldn't really find stuff for it so I was going through my big ass list of gaming help sites cause I couldnt find those damn Green Stars
Super-Yoshi: And thats how it happened
Super-Yoshi: I think I found something wrong and I fixed it and a whole notha world opened up
Super-Yoshi: And here I am now
Superchao: That sounds... shockingly similiar to how most of the people here find the wiki.
Superchao: WHAT A SUPRIRSE
Super-Yoshi: Butterscotch surprise
Superchao: god dammit frank
Superchao: Anyhow, anyone you made friends with early on?
Superchao: I know you and Jorge were pals for a while
Super-Yoshi: Yea we still are, I remember the wars going on between Unmario and whatnot haha
Super-Yoshi: 25% belonged to him, 75% to you
Super-Yoshi: Some shit like that
Super-Yoshi: Good times
Superchao: Oh god I remember that too
Superchao: And now I haven't checked UnMario in months
Super-Yoshi: Loool
Super-Yoshi: But yea, I came on irc a few days after I signed up
Superchao: I think the place is still slightly alive under new management
Super-Yoshi: I think Jorge was the one who got me in irc
Super-Yoshi: Oh really
Super-Yoshi: Last I heard shit was dead man
Superchao: Yeah, but I just leave it alone
Super-Yoshi: Yea who needs Unmario when you got the bros right here 8)
Superchao: bros for life
Super-Yoshi: u know it
Superchao: You and Jorge made comics together all the time, right?
Superchao: What got you interested in that?
Super-Yoshi: It was a fad back then
Super-Yoshi: Everyone would start comics and then cancel them like 3 issues in
Super-Yoshi: So I joined the bandwagon
Super-Yoshi: I made a comic myself, I still have it
Superchao: I think like
Superchao: 2% of comics ever finished
Superchao: probably because most of the comics didn't have a set outline lol
Super-Yoshi: yeep lol
Super-Yoshi: I could upload the comic again if you wanted to see it
Super-Yoshi: It's really shitty lol
Superchao: It probably is, no offense
Super-Yoshi: I cancelled it like 2 days after I started it cause I was like man
Super-Yoshi: This shit is too much work
Super-Yoshi: Pff Im not offended lol
Superchao: I think that covered why 90% of the comics died
Super-Yoshi: Everyone made a shit comic
Super-Yoshi: Yea haha
Superchao: The other 9% were people who didn't have time
Super-Yoshi: 1337 ;_;
Superchao: Man that guy's been gone for years
Superchao: it's always the ones who don't say they'll be leaving tht you gotta watch out for
Super-Yoshi: *obligitory fatass comment here*
Super-Yoshi: Yea man
Super-Yoshi: Rip
Super-Yoshi: He was a good friend too back in the day
Super-Yoshi: Surprisingly me and Wayoshi got along too
Super-Yoshi: I don't know what happened
Super-Yoshi: I think I made friends with everyone
Superchao: Alas, I don't think I had much - Wayoshi
Superchao: didn't he hate you
Super-Yoshi: Oh I remember me and you hated each other back then or something lol
Super-Yoshi: Cause of the Jorge stuff
Super-Yoshi: I just sided with Jorge
Super-Yoshi: He didn't hate me
Superchao: Yeah that was dumb
Super-Yoshi: We actually got along
Super-Yoshi: We played Mario Kart and Brawl
Superchao: Brawl ;_;7
Super-Yoshi: We even netplayed snes and stuff like that
Super-Yoshi: ;_;7

Superchao: None will ever claim my spot
Super-Yoshi: pls no im crying
Superchao: too bad :I
Superchao: So. What makes you like Touhou?
Superchao: I mean I could go on about why I like Touhou but this isn't interviewing me :V
Super-Yoshi: If im ever a shroom director ill be sure to interview you and ask you that lol
Super-Yoshi: What makes me like touhou is probably the vast array of characters
Super-Yoshi: I mean I dont even know them all lol
Superchao: I don't know if anyone does
Super-Yoshi: They all have their quirky traits
Superchao: I don't think even ZUN does
Super-Yoshi: He just keeps puttin them out

Super-Yoshi: THATS A BIT TOO FAR
Superchao: I don't think I have gone too far. But enough of that. Any video games, non-Mario, that you can think of that you dislike?
Super-Yoshi: I guess im not really into horror games?
Super-Yoshi: Things such as devil may cry, resident evil, silent hill, etc.
Superchao: That's pretty understandable, those really depend on your preference
Superchao: Like more than others
Super-Yoshi: Yea
Thats about it, I play pretty much everything else
Super-Yoshi: From puzzle to rpg
Super-Yoshi: whatever
Superchao: What about puzzle rpg? :V

Super-Yoshi: Really though, theres not much else lol
Super-Yoshi: I do occasionally go out and stuff but this whole pharmacy bulshet has limited my free time in places
Superchao: Pharmacy bullshit? Elaborate, for those who do not know you
Super-Yoshi: Like you know, if im at home, I can study/do hw whenever I want and play games too
Super-Yoshi: But if im outside, I dont have textbooks n stuff
Super-Yoshi: Yea im studying at university to become a pharmacist
Super-Yoshi: But god its awful I hate it
Super-Yoshi: The studying part
Super-Yoshi: The job is actually really chill
Super-Yoshi: All you do is count pills and sit on a chair and do shit
Super-Yoshi: Youll probably see me here at like 24 or something and ill still be on irc and counting pills lol
Superchao: PILLS HERE
Superchao: but man i feel you
Super-Yoshi: l4d3 soon
Superchao: I'm aiming for an accountant so I'll be counting beans while you count pills
Superchao: but first I gotta get through a pile of classes
Super-Yoshi: I hate college :<
Superchao: It's not as bad as high school in some ways at least
Superchao: Lot more time outside of classes
Super-Yoshi: Thats true
Super-Yoshi: I feel you guys who gotta wake up at like 7
Super-Yoshi: go to school, come home at 4
Super-Yoshi: Thats fucken bullshit
Superchao: At least it's not 5:30
Superchao: when you wake up that is
Super-Yoshi: Oh man do you have to do that lol
Super-Yoshi: Thats rough
Superchao: I had to back in high school
Super-Yoshi: Omg
Super-Yoshi: Tell me the story
Superchao: Long commute plus morning prep
Super-Yoshi: Oic
Superchao: These days the earliest I ever have to get up is like 7:30

Super-Yoshi: Hey thats not bad
Superchao: ...Wait, we should be talking about you!
Super-Yoshi: Yea
Superchao: WHEN DO YOU GET UP
Super-Yoshi: Right
Super-Yoshi: I get up around 8
Superchao: That's pretty good
Super-Yoshi: Sometimes I dont go to classes cause theyre recorded online lol
Super-Yoshi: Im mr. lazy
Super-Yoshi: Im more of a night person
Superchao: I'm curious, actually
Superchao: What made you decide pharmacy was the career for you?
Super-Yoshi: My moms actually one lol
Super-Yoshi: I went with her to work on this job day thing we have in high school one time
Super-Yoshi: Literally fucken the easiest thing
Super-Yoshi: You could hire someone off the street and theyd probably know howe 2
Super-Yoshi: I fucked it the time I went though man
Superchao: Well that's one way to decide! :V
Super-Yoshi: Yea
Super-Yoshi: but yo man get a load of this
Superchao: You're actually Eggman!?
Super-Yoshi: I was playing with the pill machine and I put in some mixed pills in it
Super-Yoshi: I dont know man it looked like fun to use it

Super-Yoshi: rip
Superchao: well
Superchao: I think that I will now ask the question
Superchao: The one question that's always present, that everyone is always asked
Superchao: Can YOU see why kids love the taste of cinnamon toast crunch
Super-Yoshi: The trix rabbit rigged that shit man
Super-Yoshi: Do you know why he cant have his own cereal
Super-Yoshi: He moved on
Super-Yoshi: He went to cinnamon toast and helped them get their shit together
Superchao: That explains so much
Super-Yoshi: but when he came back these fucken punk ass kids thought it was cool shit to steal my home boy trix rabbit's own cereal from him
Superchao: See this is what happens when you deny your mascot cereal
Superchao: Look at Lucky
Super-Yoshi: There was a fresh prince episode on that man
Superchao: He already had it
Superchao: He never left
Super-Yoshi: Yea man he got high off those charms
Super-Yoshi: He aint comin back

Super-Yoshi: Yea lol that was a good episode
Super-Yoshi: How did I get so fresh? Shit man, I dunno lol
Super-Yoshi: I got bored of Super-Yoshi
Super-Yoshi: It was a throwaway name?
Super-Yoshi: I duno I just came up with it on the spot lol
Superchao: hahaha i know whatcha mean

| Last article: | Director’s Notes, Issue XC |
| Sections Written: | Main/Staff: 20 Fake News: 13 Fun Stuff: 11 Palette Swap: 20 Pipe Plaza: 102 |
| Positions held: | Pipe Plaza Director |
Paper Yoshi joined the MarioWiki on 24th April 2008. Paper Yoshi made his ‘Shroom debut during Issue LXVI in Pipe Plaza. His first section was Upcoming Games, a section that had been absent from the paper for seven issues. He would go on to write this a further twenty six times, he even continued writing it after it was moved to the Main Team. Later on he would go on to become the Director for Pipe Plaza in Issue LX, a position he’d hold until this issue when he resigned. In other ‘Shroom ventures, Paper Yoshi wrote the Monthly Report in Pipe Plaza, as well as Featured and Mario Calendar (which like the Upcoming Games was later moved to the Main Team); he submitted a From The Mushroom Vaults section for the main team as well as other Core Staff sections; he submitted the Crossword for Fun Stuff and one non-Mario crossword; he also wrote Featured Character Artwork, Random Image of the Month and submitted a Sketch Related to Mario for Palette Swap and he wrote Ask Paper Yoshi for the Fake News, a section where users got to ask him various questions on various subjects.
However, you’re not here to learn about the history of Paper Yoshi, you’re here to a view a classic section from issues gone by, so without further ado here is Paper Yoshi’s first ever section, the Upcoming Games from Issue XLVI.
Upcoming GamesUpcoming Games (Paper Yoshi (Talk))Hello 'Shroom readers! After being absent from the previous seven issues, the Upcoming Games section is back! In this issue, we'll take a general look at the next Mario game, Mario Sports Mix.Mario Sports Mix, as the name says, is a sports spin-off game. It features four sports: basketball, volleyball, hockey and dodgeball. The game is heavily influenced by Mario Hoops 3-on-3, as both were developed by Square Enix.

Beyond 120 Stars
by Megadardery (Talk)Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Beyond 120 Stars! Megadardery is here with mind-blowing challenges and more for his favorite game.
...now that this lousy introduction is thrown with Bowser far far away, let's get to the castle along with what you expect to see. :)
Without further ado, let's-a-go.
Usual Useful Tip : There is a second camera mode, Mario Cam to be exact.. I know what you are thinking, it's terrible, it is just so freaking close! just press
. The camera will zoom backwards, greatly for larger view, and also this camera usually doesn't change direction while jumping, so it's pretty much the perfect cam to perform precious precise jumps. However, if you are doing wall jumps, you better stick with Lakitu Cam. - Challenges

) then align yourself with the corner of the left rotating platform by walking slightly to the left. Now Triple jump, so your double jump is on the corner of the starting platform, now all what you have to do is wall-jump off the left rotating platform, and you should fall on the right one, Trust me, it's not as hard as it sounds. :D That's all for this issue's Beyond 120 Stars folks, see you next time!
Awards Committee Commentaries
Hypnotoad (Talk)
This year felt really different because the meetings went by very smoothly. There was nothing problematic or eventful and we just breezed right through everything! With having more awards and what seems to be more people who signed up for presentations that flaked out, one of the only thing I can suggest for improvement would be for the actual presenter process. Even with those small bumps, the quality of the presentations this year was fantastic.As for suggestions, I’ve already posted some ideas in the specified topic for it, but my goals are to have the entire presentation creation process made more secure in having confirmed presenters and allowing backup presenters to have more than a week notice of what they need to cover. Solid ideas for this are to be discussed but my general idea would be to have checkups on presentations a few times throughout the summer instead of just the soft deadline a week before the ceremony. This would be just to see if people are even working on it or are still even in the community, and that if someone completely doesn’t respond they can be replaced much sooner.
I look forward to working again as the Userpedia Host next year, and who knows, perhaps more!!
Lakituthequick (Talk)
Another year, another Awards Committee commentary. Hi there.Well, as last year, it was a pretty fun happening to be in the Committee. Having done this once before, I this time knew what to expect.
To quickly cycle to my last year's point, the UserPedia and 'Shroom Awards did have vastly different results, now they are on their own spot. While the votes are indeed more informed, the amount of voters dropped as a brick too. You win some, you lose some.
I'd say the ceremony was great too, even though I couldn't attend it. I did post my presentation, but more I didn't do. Gotta choose for myself, I needed the sleep.
But enough about myself, others now. I sometimes have the idea that some people on the AC could do more than they currently do. I'm not saying the AC is a group of weekly get-together's, but sometimes it just feels like some are just chirping y's and n's at the meetings (of which I admit I'm guilty of too sometimes). To me at least. In other words, the amount of people can do more. Don't get me wrong though, I know real life exists (gasp).
In other news, both of my Mario Kart Tournaments went well, although 7's online is still pretty crap. A new thing was 8's Mario Kart TV functionality, which when used correctly can result in neat recap video's. #shamelessselfadvertising
Next year is going to have at least MK8, including the neat DLC for as far as people own it, 7 I'll overthink but will likely happen too.
Enough rambling for today, we'll see each other around. Chau!
Mario Kart 8 Tournament Thoughts
by SKmarioman (Talk)Hello, hi, greetings, howdy, g'day or whatever form of salutations you prefer.
Being the winner of the first Mario Kart 8 Awards Tournament hosted by Lakituthequick (Talk) I was asked to give my quick thoughts on the event, so here we go.
A week earlier the Mario Kart 7 tournament took place which Cirdec won while I finished in 3rd (I thought multitasking would be a good idea, give me a break), but unlike the Mario Kart 7 tournament however (aside from the connection being much more stable in general) where each group was given its own community to avoid confusion, Ltq instead would open a friends room at different intervals, as we found that "Let's wait for more players" does absolutely nothing in Tournaments or Global modes, as in the game will eventually automatically start regardless of how many times you insist to the server that you're not ready. Though this slightly altered system didn't stop MnSG from joining in Group A's lobby before round 2. I gotta say it was somewhat amusing seeing everyone else abusing the "Bye!" command for completely the opposite reason that Nintendo would have intended.
Now most of the rounds were pretty standard stuff, you know being the first tournament where everyone was always racing in fear of a ricocheting Green Shell for the first time in an Awards tournament, though the participants in Group B of Round 2 were treated to GalacticPetey's simply sublime singing skills, so that was something.
The final round saw six participants proceed from Round 2, Crackin355, PrincessOfPeaches, me, Yoshi K, Uniju and Turboo.
Hoo boy, the final round.
Now there's such thing as being lucky, and it plays a decent enough role in Mario Kart as it is. But then there's being so painfully lucky that even yourself won't stop giving you crap about it for all the coming months to the point that everyone who played in the final round will probably forever associate Cheep Cheep Beach with that one cheaply timed Super Horn that I managed to grab just seconds before being blasted by a Spiny Shell.
Okay, it was a running theme of sorts where I kept getting ridiculously timed item pickups throughout the final four races of the tournament. Right down the final turn when I cut through the donut overtaking Crackin and I think he still hates Sweet Sweet Canyon for that reason, I don't really like it either anymore as that course managed to show up 4 times throughout the whole tournament, too much Sonic Colors Sweet Mountain stuff going on in here for my tastes (that was terrible). Honestly at this point I don't know how to say any of this without sounding unnecessarily narcissistic. Now if only I had this sort of luck during the regional Pokémon tournament, instead about 500 people got to see me lose because I tried using Solar Beam twice in a row. Or maybe when I decided to buy A Link to the Past literally a week before it went on sale on the eShop, that could have helped there too.
So um... anyway I'm actually not entirely comfortable with saying that it was overall a fun tournament, not because I didn't have fun but because naturally I'd say that after having such stupid luck, but before that luck streak started it really was great fun racing with you all, I already love this game to begin with and given the success of this first Mario Kart 8 tournament I look forward to racing you all next year (or right now if you catch me online) hopefully under much more even conditions, and again huge props to Lakituthequick for hosting this whole thing.
Though I quick suggestion for next year, make it so everyone has to vote for either one of the Rainbow Road tracks on the final race of the final round, again Sweet Mountain Act 1 isn't exactly the greatest setting for a grand finale.
You can all watch the whole tournament right here, or you can see it all from my perspective here, though Ltq actually edited together 140 highlight reels while I uploaded straight from the game and getting a lot of Content ID matches in the process.
And I still haven't found that Easter Egg that he hinted at.
Anyway, this has been SK, signing out!
Mario Golf Tournament Thoughts
by Icemario11 (Talk)When I signed up for the Mario Golf tournament, I was pretty disappointed to see it take as long as it did to get started after the thread kind of just died for a week or two. The sudden revival after the majority of interest departed caused one of the players to drop out because they had stopped caring at that point.
The first round of the tournament used the Private Tournament feature of the game, and while the premise was decent and worked out fairly well, the announcement was so close to the day that it was done on that it led to another one of the players who signed up not getting to play at all because they were offline that weekend, which was just really sad to see. Plus it had coins on, and that could've easily cost you
After a tiebreaker for second-place (that I wasn't part of), the finals happened, which was an incredibly enjoyable match that had me on my toes the entire time, but I feel there could've been another round or something in between because the tournament itself just fell... short. It was basically the private tournaments, and then the finals if you were in the top two. Nothing else, unless people tied for the private tournaments (which did happen but that doesn't make the shortness much better).
So overall it was fairly enjoyable (albeit short-lived) but the hosting really needs some work.
Awards Mafia IV Thoughts
by Super-Yoshi (Talk)Hey its tfp here again, no i'm not doing a review (although look out for the christmas issue cause im probably gonna be back with M&L :>) but instead this time I was asked to commentate on mafia and how we won!
So I'm just gonna give the rundown of what happened, I got my role and I was like shiet man not bad at all, the doc is pretty good. Instantly formed an alliance with people on #mariowiki and we went from there. So pretty much I guess we'd pick off people who we thought were suspicious and strategize from there.
The first big even that probably happened was Turb getting DragonFreak's pm about a nightkill, something that was a heartbreaker for the robots. He tried to make a plan to swap and kill her but it backfired as the mafia targeted her and the kill went to Turb, so rip. He was a bro, so obviously had to kill the perpetrator (we assumed it was DF but it wasn't, still tho).
We lynched the robot godfather, and everything was smooth sailing from there, I guess FE kinda fucked up by defending his gf but yo, you gotta yolo it sometimes.
Now the mafia godfather, Nabber, fucked himself when he tried to lynch my bro Uniju. You don't fuck with the bros. That's why we won the game in the end. I'm just saying, don't bring personal relationships in a mafia game, but the bros are a hidden alliance and if you fuck with one, you're fucking with all of them. We took down the godfather and we recruited Crackin to our "xbox hueg allience", as Turb coined. Vocal Beat was a strong member of our squad as well, we couldn't have won the game without him. All of us kept picking off members one by one, we made an awesome vigkill combo with Crackin + Uniju on NSY, who by chance, was the redirector, so I woulda been fucked if his action got through lol. It was pure luck, (it was actually god, see below for tribute). LN1, S2D, and some others helped me out too. Props to them for their plays.
Freakworld and Stargazing died by Icemario (azunyan <3) and it was all good. LTQ also got killed for fuckin with the bros lol, like shit home boy i keep telling you but you don't listen to me. You gotta listen to me next game cause right now it's 2/2 for you being dead and both of those reasons were for fucken with the bros. So don't fuck with the bros next time and we wont go after you. Toad85 got the message, shout out to my boy T85 for getting the message.
We eventually got rid of them all, so shout out to the all the home boys that helped us win to victory. B45 and Smasher really confused us in the end, with B45 getting converted and Smasher being on irc and not really doing anything lol. The FE claim really fucked it for them, and they probably would've survived a few more nights, maybe even win, if it wasn't for that. The vigkill by NSM was great, well played dude.
The third parties didn't really do much, pirates were inactive and robots kinda fucked it for themselves, as you can see above. Shout out to my boy Stooben though for keepin it real, im gonna give my home boy some tokens cause he got in the game and literally died 5 min later :(.
I just gotta say though I'm really surprised how I lived through that whole game lol, the mafia tried to kill me pretty much from night 1 and they failed every time. I want to thank god for all the pro evades she gave me, and the super shroom that I used on night 10. Thank you god, please keep accelerating. Here's a homage to our god Suguri. #evade4ever
- Rule 1: Don't fuck with Sugi
- She's a qt <3
- #accelerate #sugism #godknows #sugipro
Uniju and Turb are going places man I mean really hey whenever someone edits this long title it will screw up recent changes and it will kill all the formatting for the shroom lol
by Uniju :D (Talk) & Turboo (Talk)[22:54] turb hi
[22:54] Uniju yo
[22:54] turb anything you'd like to start off with before i begin asking questions
[22:54] Uniju nope!
[22:54] turb okey
[22:55] turb what do you think you've contributed to the community in the time that you've been here
[22:56] Uniju barrels of laughs and a general good time, also i rewrote the chat rules along with hk in like 2009
[22:56] turb cool
[22:56] Uniju yeah man
[22:56] turb i forgot to ask this but apparently it's proper conduct
[22:56] turb how did you find the mariowiki
[22:57] Uniju i went there to find some cool mario facts and then one day i decided to join the chatroom because i was bored
[22:57] Uniju i dont remember how i found it to begi nwith but thats how i joined
[22:57] turb yeah i think thats how most of us start out
[22:57] turb just looking for some cool mario facts
[22:57] turb and our database of cool mario facts has really grown over the years and that's how we've got all our users
[22:57] turb but anyway
[22:58] turb what led to you rewriting the chat rules with hk
[22:58] Uniju well, the younguns may not remember this, but the chatroom was plagued with a load of bullshit back then, which led to the rules being rewritten a handful of times
[22:59] Uniju and eventually the split
[23:05] turb yeah i remember the split
[23:05] turb it was kind of a mess
[23:05] turb i have to say i don't remember hk being around for redoing the rules though
[23:05] turb at least not in 2009
[23:06] Uniju that's understandable, he didn't stick around too long
[23:06] Uniju he came in and fixed shit and left again
[23:06] Uniju like a
[23:06] Uniju like somebody who does that kind of thing
[23:08] turb yeah i feel like there's a word for that but i can't think of it
[23:08] turb can you tell me more about how you came into possession of the current #mariowiki
[23:08] turb (i already know this its for the viewers(
[23:08] turb )
[23:09] Uniju well, that was the split. there had been talk of a split for a while, since a few users who i won't name for their own safety were highly dissatisfied with the way me and my associate bill were running the place
[23:09] Uniju they had gone off and made their own channel in protest and eventually i guess the sysops got fed up with the drama
[23:09] Uniju so me and bill got #mariowiki, and they went off to the new hotness #mwchat
[23:10] Uniju or, actually
[23:10] Uniju #mwikitalk? there was another one before #mwchat that was for ~serious~ discussion, while #mwchat was for goofing off
[23:10] Uniju which eventually died, or got repurposed or something, and you don't hear about that place anymore
[23:10] Uniju nowawadays it's all #mwchat
[23:11] turb yeah i recall #mwikitalk
[23:11] turb i think it was used for on-topic wiki discussion and the like and obviously no one needed a channel specifically for that
[23:11] turb before the split i remember a bunch of people made channels where swearing was allowed or whatever
[23:11] Uniju yeah
[23:12] turb fortunately there hasn't been a lot of drama since the split
[23:12] Uniju i can't say i remember much about the particular rules that people were upset about, i would have guessed swearing would have been allowed in #mariowiki well before the split but
[23:12] turb i dunno
[23:12] Uniju yeah, i guess the new op team is probably doing a better job than i did in that regard. :-P
[23:12] turb i remember everyone got angry if you said an uncensored swear word
[23:12] turb for a while
[23:13] turb i can't think of any other rules that would cause such an uproar
[23:13] turb maybe it was just general op abuse in the old mariowiki
[23:13] turb i won't name names but there were a few that weren't doing their job very well
[23:13] turb not you lol
[23:13] turb i can't talk about my interviewee that way
[23:14] Uniju well yeah, people used to flip out about swearing
[23:14] Uniju particularly back in 2007
[23:14] Uniju i remember one time thoough
[23:15] Uniju i don't remember if it was just some random hit-and-run troll or if it was maka or somebody, but somebody posted a highly inappropriate flash animation
[23:15] turb go on
[23:15] Uniju and wayoshi, who was in charge of shit back then, managed to get away with saying "fuck" simply because he felt it was the most accurate description of the content
[23:15] Uniju i thought that was funny at the time, DP thought it was an outrage
[23:15] Uniju looking back i guess it's probably neither
[23:16] turb was that back when the chatroom was a forum page
[23:16] turb i seem to remember it being hosted on there
[23:16] turb but i wasn't a user at the time
[23:16] Uniju i'm sure it would still have been a forum page at the time, but by the time i joined it was also on the wiki
[23:17] Uniju i didn't join the forum until well after i joined the chatroom
[23:17] Uniju but i do know i found the chat page on the forum later, after i did join
[23:19] turb oh i see
[23:19] turb i can't think of any other good questions
[23:20] Uniju i would suggest some but that would be cheating
[23:20] turb i guess you can
[23:20] turb i can just cut them out later
[23:20] Uniju i cant suggest questions for you to ask me
[23:21] turb im dead
[23:21] Uniju that would just be me picking things to say about myself and then saying them
[23:21] turb yeah but this is awkward
[23:21] Uniju put your back into it
[23:21] Uniju just ask me about games or anime or something
[23:22] turb uh well
[23:22] turb i dont think thats usually what they ask about
[23:22] Uniju i wouldnt know i never read the shroom
[23:22] turb do i have to publish this
[23:23] Uniju yeah unless you want to go interview somebody else
[23:24] Uniju you should publish it raw and say "this is what happens when perch doesn't do his god damn work"
[23:27] turb i think i might
[23:30] Uniju i was sure i got interviewed once before but i can't find it
[23:30] Uniju "However, if you go to my contribuitions my first edit was in 1 January 2002, editing Uniju's talk page wishing him Happy Birthday." - shroobario in his interview
[23:30] Uniju that wasn't my birthday
[23:31] turb january 2002
[23:32] Uniju http://www.mariowiki.com/The_%27Shroom:Issue_XXXIII/Interview this might have been it
[23:32] turb i think he interviewed me too
[23:32] turb okay im gonna start publishing
[23:33] Uniju good luck
this is what happens when perch doesn't do his god damn work
