Editing User talk:Christoph Schrader/OldTalkPage

Hiya!!! [[User:Marexl|Marexl]] 20:33, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
{{Chris|text=Bonjour!  So glad you managed to find me again!}}

{{welcome|[[User:BebopKate|BebopKate]] 20:34, 8 September 2008 (UTC)}}

Hi!!! [[User:Marexl|Marexl]] 19:05, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

{{Chris|text=How on earth did you post that four hours in the future?!}}

{{Marexl|text=HI!!!!!!!!!}}

{{Marexl|HI!!!!!!!}}

{{welcome|[[User:Amy Cotton|Amalia]] 21:15, 2 April 2009 (UTC)}}

PS; If you want a talk box, please tell me on [[User talk:Amy Cotton|my talk page.]]

{{TNE|text=''Salut'' ! Welcome aboard the Wiki... and hope you have fun editing.

By the way, you seem to be the first person around who likes Wisdom Form. It's great to see a change around here. ^_^}}

{{Chris|text=I suppose I like wisdom form as it allows Sora to fully become a magic user, which I wish that one had the option of making him at the outset, given the vast variety of job classes available in some Final Fantasy titles.  I also wish that there were more spells in Kingdom Hearts, but have thoroughly enjoyed the games nonetheless (especially casting Holy in RE: Chain of Memories).}}

{{TNE|text=For that coding, methinks you might wanna get yourself a talk bubble.......

Hm, Sora as a magic user sounds nice... at least, once in a while. The major problem with me and magic is that we just don't click. I can't mash buttons. :(

EDIT : Ping me if you're looking for a talk bubble like what most of us use. ^_^}}

{{Chris|text=Actually, I already have one from a previous account (to which I lost the password), but I forgot to close the brackets at the end, though I thank you nonetheless for offering to make one for me.}}

{{TNE|shocktext=Wait : was your '''previous account'''... by any chance... Christoph Schrader ?}}

{{Chris|text=Indeed it was, but how ever did you know?}}

{{TNE|happytext=When I saw your previous account talk bubble on Marexl's page, I was astounded for a moment there and I was thinking to myself, ''Ha ! Il y a quelqu’un qui parle français ici !'' – and then, when I took a look at your profile, it was fr-2. I thought it to be a coincidence… until I saw… your talk template starting with “Chris”.}}

{{Chris|text=And indeed, I merely hijacked my own old template to create my new talk balloon (and actually rewrote the article on magic, added various pieces of information regarding the ''Final Fantasy'' series and have been here for quite a while.  Oui, il y a quelqu'un qui parle français ici, c'est Valtome/Christoph, mais je suis seulement une personne.  C'est dommage, n'est-ce pas?}}

{{TNE|text=Well, it sure is nice to see a familiar face around here. I mean, how long have you been here ? I've only been here for a little more than three months.

''Bon, pour le français, il y a [[User:Unbirth]] et [[User:Zack fair 007]], qui sont francophones… et les autres qui sont listés sous [[:Category:User fr]] – mais en tout cas, tu es la seule personne avec qui je peux parler sur ce wiki.''}}

{{Chris|text=How long I have been here I can hardly say, I stumbled upon this wiki quite by accident and decided to contribute where I could, though I did experience a long period of inactivity.  ''Et je suis la seule personne avec qui tu peux parler?  Tu es le premier (la première?) francophone avec qui j'ai parlé dans ces wikis aussi.

Pardon me if my French sounds strange, but I am but a student and, therefore, will likely make mistakes that you will find amusingly silly.}}

{{TNE|happytext=Don't worry. So far it sounds quite good. Hey, for an intermediate speaker, you're '''good''' !}}

{{Chris|text=Ah, I thank you.  Your talk balloon says 'happytext'...what exactly does that do?}}

{{TNE|text=I want you to take a look at the difference between '''this''' talk bubble...}}
{{TNE|happytext=This one...}}
{{TNE|blahtext=And this one. Did you manage to spot the difference ? I used three different inputs for one same template : '''text''' for normal smile, '''happytext''' for happy, and '''blahtext''' to make it seem like I'm reciting a creed. Now, it's possible for a user to have more than one emotion on one single talk template.}}

{{Chris|text=And how might I do this?  But first, to find more pictures of Marluxia...}}

{{TNE|text=I'm waiting for [[User:Xiggie|Xiggie]] to bring in more Marluxia sprites. I've gathered character bubbles, as well as their emotions, on [[User:Troisnyxetienne/Talk Template Archive]]. Thus far, Xiggie and I have managed to gather emotions for Sora, Donald, Goofy, Riku, Repliku, Kairi, Oogie, Peter Pan and Wendy, among others.

The guidelines for creating one textbox for all emotions is [[User:Troisnyxetienne/Talk Template Archive/Emotion Guide|here]].

Though that thing's still under construction.......}}

{{Chris|text=Ah, merci, but I believe that is a bit much coding for me, though I have already found more sprites of Marluxia myself -- and I managed to remember the password for my old account...begging the question -- would I rather be Christophe or Valtome (and why does this account exist here, I made it for the Fire Emblem wiki?)?}}

{{TNE|text=Apparently, if you have one Wikia account you can access to all of Wikia with the same account. Heck, I even have an account on the francophone KHWiki under the same name.}}

{{Chris|text=I just took a look at your userpage...I had no idea that there was such a community as this here!  But which name shall I use -- Christoph or Valtome?}}

{{TNE|happytext=Why not use Valtome ? After all, you've already made it active.

And who knows, if you're thinking of helping me over the francophone KHWiki (which, at the moment, has only two active members - [[User:Unbirth]] and me), go ahead and use the same username. ^_^}}

{{Chris|text=I suppose that would be for the best, and I would be delighted to join you on the Francophone wiki.  After reading your userpage, I had the urge to rearrange my name as though I were a nobody:

Valtome > Voxtelma, Xovelmat, Malvoxet, Mevolxat...
Christoph(e) > Rexchistoph, Chiphrexor, Citrhexoph, Prechistox...

Rather silly-sounding, are they not?}}

{{TNE|happytext=It sure '''is'' difficult to rearrange them..........

Oh well. ^_^ ''Je te souhaite la bienvenue en avance...''}}

{{Chris|text=It would be very nice if I could change my username without creating a new account...}}

{{TNE|text=I'm not sure if you can... try checking the navbar at the to right - More > My preferences ? Perhaps you might be able to change usernames... I don't know.}}

==Notification : User page==
{{TNE|text=We have a guide for beginners to work on their userpages - right [[Help:User page|here]]. [[User:Ultima The High Seraph|Ultima]] says that he'll help work on it and revamp it, because that page hasn't been touched for years (and methinks it's collecting dust already !). The question is, should it be moved to '''Help:User page''' or should it stay where it is ?

Please give your two cents at [[Kingdom Hearts Wiki talk:User page]]. I'm waiting to hear from you !}}

==Cela fait longtemps==
{{TNE|text=How've you been ? It's been ages since I heard from you.}}
{{Chris|text=I've been a bit busy lately with preparing for summer school, though I am touched that you remembered me.  I haven't been frequenting certain sites as often as I once was wont, though I will be returning to school in a few days and should have a bit more time to myself soon.}}
{{TNE|text=I seriously wish I didn't have to leave so soon. I'll have to be away for three months for National Service... :'-(}}
{{Chris|text=And what might that be?}}
{{TNE|blahtext=A watered-down form of military training, which'd last three months, introduced by the government. Seriously, I wouldn't wanna spend 3 months in some remote camp. I'd defer if I could, but they're thinking of lengthening the stint to 2 years. So I've gotta go this year.

And throughout the existence of NS, there've been 25 recorded deaths. That's already too many. And I fear the number can be much higher. It could either be due to the trainers themselves, or the conditions of the camps. I'm one of the weaklings and I'm praying that I may come back alive...

Wish I could sit and talk to you like we used to...}}

{{Chris|text=I don't personally believe that you should be subject to military training if your health is not good enough, though I think it might make an interesting alternative to physical education in schools (for students who are healthy enough and choose to take it, of course).  I do think that 25 recorded deaths is a bit excessive (please note that I tend to understate things - when I say a bit excessive, I mean entirely unacceptable), and I strongly question the intent of any government that would institute such a programme (though I am coming to dislike my government more - our president has recently ordered the reopening of controversial military trials that he had formerly pledged to end).

In short, I am not feeling especially patriotic at the moment (I rather wish that I were British circa 100-200 years ago).}}

{{TNE|text=I know...... I really wish they'd consider us a little more, at least. Oh well, better three months than two years (hopefully not a lifetime !). I fear for my life as to what would happen in the camps. Some are good, no doubt, but some gain notoriety for their bad condition and bad trainers.

What can I say ? I'm happy to be Malaysian, no doubt, but I wish I was a Malaysian of the 60's and 70's - where everyone was together and there was no such political junk.}}

{{Chris|text=When will this nightmare begin?}}

{{TNE|text=16th June. That's 6 days after my Cambridge A-Levels exams end.}}

{{Chris|text=Best of luck to you then -- I was just reading your userpage, and will be away at school for most of that time (I tend to spend more time online there), though I will continue to hope for the best regarding your upcoming service.  Remember, if all else fails, spam Holy (it works in RE: Chain or Memories, at least, and will kill nearly anything as it strikes four times).

I remember reading something on your userpage about your awaiting the release of the English version of RE: Chain of Memories sometime soon, and I found it quite a delightful improvement on the original.  Although a new sleight called 'Lethal Frame' was mistranslated as 'Lethal Flame', which is rather funny as it is made from time magic, not fire magic, though the exact combination I shall leave for you to discover, I found that the sleights were quite a bit more fun to use as they actually did more damage than a series of regular attacks.  My favourite Final Fantasy spell Holy finally takes its place as one of the strongest spells Sora can cast in this game, though I wish that he could cast Aeroga, Flare, Holy, Ultima, Quake and Flood in KH and KHII.

Enough of my rambling on about magic...it is probably growing quite tiresome.}}

{{TNE|text=Sadly enough, I'll be late for the release. As far as I know, it's somewhere around next month. Who knows, I'd probably be spending my time in that backwater camp !

I kinda understand why they said "Lethal Flame" and I thought it was correct, for a long while...... because of the "re-i" component that (usually) translates to the "la" in "flame". Talk about not being able to distinugish......}}

{{Chris|text=I've been reading over your userpage, and I must say that yours is quite a bit more interesting than mine...though I understand completely your preference for Kingdom Hearts over 'something M-rated' (my stack of PS2 games looks something like this --

Star Ocean 3
Tales of Legendia
Tales of the Abyss
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy X-2
Final Fantasy XII
Kingdom Hearts
Kingdom Hearts II
Kingdom Hearts: RE: Chain of Memories
Dot Hack 1 - Infection
Radiata Stories
Rogue Galaxy

though the latter two remain unplayed of yet) and I am even older than you (20, almost 21), and I live in the US, where a great number people would view the entire series as a child's game (I have several friends who enjoy it, though my last roommate seemed only interested in watching clips of the game thrown together with rather stupid sounds dubbed over the originals).

I wouldn't have suspected you of being an introvert, though I am, and to the point of suspecting myself of having Asperger Syndrome.   It seems that I always seem to do something wrong every time I speak to someone, and it feels sometimes as though I speak a language different from the people around me as my English comes more from reading than from speech -- hence the frequent use of lengthily words that appear everywhere and the occasional blank stare I receive for using an outdated term or construction.

Did I tell you that I want to be a schoolteacher (of English, specifically)?  It might seem a bit strange, but, when I know the subject well, I am actually quite good at explaining things to people, and, despite the possibility of having what amounts to no-social-ability-whatsoever syndrome, can actually do so in front of a class.}}

{{TNE|shocktext=You're 21 ?? Whoa.

Being a teacher sounds nice. ^_^ I don't have the calling to actually even teach.

(Ya know, I've always yearned to be a singer-songwriter but here I am, stuck in law class)}}

{{Chris|text=I'm not 21 just yet, that will come in another two months or so (read my userpage, it has that much information on it).  Your posts are so concise, and yet here I go writing novels every time I feel the need to reply...how ever do you do it?

Ah, and regarding your hope to be a singer-songwriter -- don't give it up, even if you do become a lawyer, lawyers can always have dreams.}}

{{TNE|text=Many of us have the habit of speaking in a rather concise manner, with succinct grammar and vocabulary (even if it's bad !) - as long as we're understood. I'm making it a point to speak in grammatically correct language, but this concise-ness hasn't really left me... ^_^"

Have you seen (um, heard) my audio drafts yet ?}}

{{Chris|text=Why no, I have not.  Where might I find them?}}

{{TNE|text=Here - http://virb.com/troisnyx - pardon the bad quality, because I only have my phone to record this stuff. BebopKate also listened to those drafts... ^_^}}

{{Chris|text=So you wrote and sung that yourself?  That is absolutely astounding!  I could never do anything like that -- I cannot sing a note.}}

{{TNE|remerciement=''Merci''... Yep, I wrote, played and sang that myself. Again, pardon the quality.}}

{{Chris|text=Did I ever tell you that I used to write poetry?  I never could write free verse with any confidence, though my Sonnets and Terzanelles always seem to come out well enough.  I just recently lost the contents of my hard drive (including whatever poems were saved there), however, but I think that they may still be around somewhere on the Internet....}}

{{TNE|happytext=Do tell me if you manage to find them ^_^ I love putting words to music - that is, if I can.}}

{{Chris|text=I found one in my sent mail, though there are several different versions of it...I will have to choose the one I like best before I show you.}}

{{TNE|happytext=Okay. I'd like to see it ! ^_^}}

{{Chris|text=I wrote it some time ago, but I still rather like it, though it is not of traditional sonnet subject matter:

'''Innocents Abroad'''

The boy awakes in autumn with the mists<br>
To wander the forest, humming a tune<br>
Soft leather bracelets weave about his wrists<br>
And at his heels pads his brown canine boon.<br>

The boy looks quite handsome at his dog's side,<br>
His golden curls have not been cut in years —<br>
His legs are long, and graceful is his stride<br>
Unmarred by all the weight of human fears.<br>

As boy and dog depart for distant lands<br>
They find themselves amidst young cherry trees,<br>
In taking the fresh blossoms in his hands<br>
His heart resolves to voyage overseas.<br>

The boy and dog proceed across the moor<br>
Imagining the shining distant shore.}}

{{TNE|happytext=Wow. Just..... wow.}}

{{Chris|text=So you like it, then?}}

{{TNE|happytext=OMG, I love it ! It's simple, and the meaning is profound.}}

{{Chris|text=Perhaps I should try to find another one sometime...}}
{{TNE|text=It'd seriously be great if you could... :)}}

==HEY!==

{{Marexl|time=04:42, 20 August 2009 (UTC)|surprised=HEY I haven't talked to you in a while how has it been?!}}

{{Chris|text=I've been a bit busy lately with summer school and the like, and it seems to have consumed my entire summer -- I suppose I just disappeared without much notice....

I am quite delighted to hear that you remembered me, however.  How have you been since I mysteriously vanished?}}

{{Marexl|time=06:01, September 12, 2009 (UTC)|happy=Not much<big>!</big> I wouldn't forget about mai buddy<big>!</big> I always wondered what happened to you.}}

{{Chris|text=Things seem to have returned to their normal course in my life...I think this means my long hiatus is over.}}

==Salut une fois encore ! I need you to take a look at this==
{{TNE|time=03:14, September 11, 2009 (UTC)|text=It's about the categories coming out of the userboxes. Please see [[Kingdom Hearts Wiki talk:Userboxes/Characters#Admins, mods and frequent users, I need your attention !|this page.]]}}

{{Chris|text=Alright, I shall do so when it isn't 0100 here.}}
{{TNE|time=05:06, September 12, 2009 (UTC)|text=Okay. Take your time. ^_^ And if you'd like to help with categorising, I'd be glad.}}
{{Chris|text=It seems like an interesting thought (I left a comment warning against laundry lists -- I think there might be too many categories), and, though organising things is not generally my strong suit, I believe I could help you with it if you need me.  I think that I may have turned back into Christoph Schrader when nobody was looking -- at least, that is what the top of the screen says -- though perhaps I should keep it -- I pulled the name out of the air, and I rather like it (in comparison to Valtome, which is from a video game I no longer play).

Enough rambling, it was really quite nice to hear from you again.  I read about your tour of duty (I doubt that I could have survived such a thing, though I suppose I am lucky enough to have been born in a country that doesn't require that).  I have also found an older variant of one of my poems, though I think this one needs a bit of work before it is really presentable (oh, nevermind, it is only an unrevised copy of the one I already showed you).  I still love to be long winded, I suppose....}}

I think I would change the talk link a bit — can I do that by editing the above?

Sure. I put it on superscript, but we can always bring it back to normal or place it on subscript.
