What exactly is Joint Struggle?

SilverCrono Well, I can tell who you are. — "Looks like you're prepared." "What is with you and picking up stray puppies?" — 02:16, November 7, 2010 (UTC) Please elaborate.

ShadowsTwilight - He's leaving you behind, and when you catch up, he'll be a different person TALK - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA the way i understand it, it's where they take the winners from the past MA battles and pit them against each other Keyblade War style

Chitalian8 Say... — Only by allowing strangers in can we find new ways to be ourselves. Life's little crossroads are often as simple as the pull of a trigger. — 02:32, November 7, 2010 (UTC) Are we gonna use a randomizer to pick the seeds? One thing that has piqued my curiosity is will there be things like "Vanitas vs. Radiant Garden"? Because honestly, I don't know how that's gonna play out. World vs. Character, Song vs. World, how will those kinds of matches happen?

Pretty much what ShadowsTwilight said. Yes, the seeds will be randomized, so it's anybody's guess as to how it's going to play out. We've been planning the Joint Struggle since the conception of the Mirage Arena itself, and I'm hoping it'll be well received. You can expect the brackets and revised rules sometime this week, and the tournament should open in a week or so. After it's all over, we're gonna take a bit of a break from the Mirage Arena, and have a community-wide forum on how this first round went, and what we can improve on/fix. We've got a surprise waiting in the wings for all of you, so be on your toes... KKD

Warnings

SilverCrono Well, I can tell who you are. — "Looks like you're prepared." "What is with you and picking up stray puppies?" — 20:23, December 10, 2010 (UTC) I know TNE asked this before, but I wanna know if we need them. I've read threats to people, like "One more and you get a warning!" or something like that, so I wanted to know if you guys wanted me to make some templates. I'd be happy to do it.

Edit Count

AS IF! I have the right to know! I know that I don't have enough edits to vote yet, but I just have one or two questions. The rules ask users to check for Mainspace, Image, Main Page, Template, Walkthrough, Card, Kingdom Hearts Wiki, and MediaWiki edits; however, the edit count lists them as Main, Talk, User, User Talk, Kingdom Hearts Wiki, Kingdom Hearts Wiki Talk, File, Template, Help, and Forum edits. Might the rules be adjusted to work with these names (I don't know how many card, walkthrough, etc. edits I have, which makes it fairly confusing). Also, are we counting the edits we've made on other Wikia wikis as valid?

Worry not, my friend. In the break time we will take after the Join Struggle Tournament ends we will discuss and revise the rules and the edit count thing might just fall on ground. Redeemer & Destroyer 20:25, January 7, 2011 (UTC)

For the time being at least, no, other Wikis are not counted. This Wiki only.LapisLazuliScarab20:58, January 7, 2011 (UTC)

Time to open.

So we are here at the new KHWiki. And it's obviously time to re-open the MA. So I guess it's ok the start the nominations for the first battle of the Second Round! Or should we wait Friday (tomorrow)? Demonic Saint Yeah! You gotta be funny, like us! — 18:05, 10 February 2011 (EST)

SilverCrono Well, I can tell who you are. — "Hmph. You're obnoxious." "I know I won't forget you. Believe me, I try all the time." — 18:10, 10 February 2011 (EST) Nah, start noms now.

LapisScarab - You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? Thursday is a random time to start noms. Starting tomorrow would give a little more time for everyone to prepare. But you're in charge of it, R&D.

Tomorrow it is!Every rule has an execption! Including this one.

AS IF! The world is garbage! CRUNCH! Shouldn't we vote on a new battle box?

I'm not sure... hmm... I'll ask KKD. Demonic Saint We're outsiders, so wouldn't that be muddling? — 19:15, 10 February 2011 (EST)

Temporary Management

Chitalian8 Say... — Every Player had to give up something. Everybody makes sacrifices. It was me. All of it. — 22:01, 24 April 2011 (EDT) Since DS seems to be on break, and KKD has apparently left, a few people should take care of the MA while they're gone. I suppose I could help with it a little, like updating the current battle or writing fight descriptions. Anyone else is free to assist.

AS IF! The world is garbage! CRUNCH! I'll help too. I can help with archiving things and checking to see if everyone's following the nomination policy or has a high enough edit count.

DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven! And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 22:11, 24 April 2011 (EDT) Seems fine, especially if the arena seems to be falling behind or apart. If you two are up for the job, then by all means, go right ahead.

LapisScarab - You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? I can do the battle descriptions if you want, now that I'm getting back into the swing of things a bit.

Grandeur Return

I RETURN!! (it was grandeur after all) Thanks guys for taking care of everything during my unannounced absence. And I would appreciate you if you guys would still help me with it since my life is still not boring settled enough for me to focus on the MA all the time. Demonic Saint Yeah! You gotta be funny, like us! — 19:09, 2 May 2011 (EDT)

AS IF! The world is garbage! CRUNCH! Good to see you're back! And I'll be sure to still help out, don't worry. Oh, and by the way, Command Styles are now considered weapons. Is that okay with you?

Chitalian8 Say... — Only by allowing strangers in can we find new ways to be ourselves. Life's little crossroads are often as simple as the pull of a trigger. — 19:26, 2 May 2011 (EDT) Welcome back! I couldn't help as much as As if, though, as schoolwork and my social life is catching up.

Well, seeing that Drive Forms are considered Weapons I guess we can say that Command Styles, Shotlocks, Dimension Links, Abilities and all of the sort that is in battle but isn't a Character or Enemy falls under the Weapons category. Demonic Saint We're outsiders, so wouldn't that be muddling? — 20:55, 2 May 2011 (EDT)

Edit Count

I've made enough edits, so how come my vote just dissapeared for the last battle?AlVan 10:59, 1 May 2011 (EDT)AlVan

AS IF! The world is garbage! CRUNCH! Try reading the whole rule next time. "You must have at least 145 edits before voting. Check your editcount Here, by typing in your username. Please check for: Mainspace, Image, Main Page, Template, Walkthrough, Card, Kingdom Hearts Wiki, and MediaWiki edits." If the above were used, you would only have 34 edits. Make more edits in the above areas, and then you'll be able to vote.

Dude...Chill out.AlVan 14:54, 10 May 2011 (EDT)

AS IF! The world is garbage! CRUNCH! Sorry, that came out wrong. Didn't mean it to sound that angry.

LightRoxas - "Humans can be terrible creatures indeed." TALK - "Now, kill me... or I... shall kill YOU!" I feel like Gallery space edits should count toward the total.

Darth - Riku - This battle isn't over. And until it is, I still need the power of darkness! TALK - Come to the Dark Side! We have cooler Keyblades! I actually feel that a Userpage shouldn't count because I spent a whole mess of edits trying to fix it and haven't really done anything for the Wiki yet. So I'm not voting till I do. Heck, maybe it doesn't count anyway...

The Edit Sections

Ok, I know this is probably going to make me a sound like a complete and utter idiot, but could someone please tell me how to make a nedit in the Walkthrough, Card and MediaWiki category.Darkheart3

You can't make an edit in the MediaWiki category, only admins can do that. There is no Walkthroughspace, but edits to a personal walkthrough count. As for the Cardspace, just go to any Card: article and edit that. Chitalian8 10:49, 7 May 2011 (EDT)

So I can't edit in the Mirage Arena because i'm not an admin?Darkheart3

...you could just edit in the mainspace, or the Card space. You don't need to edit all sections. --Ag (Silver) - 47 107.8682 amu ~Crono 02:50, 8 May 2011 (EDT)

Ok, now i'm just damn confused. To put it simply, can I vote yet?Darkheart3

What part don't you get? Edit the mainspace, or the cardspace, or upload some images. NO, you cannot vote yet, because you don't have enough edits. --Ag (Silver) - 47 107.8682 amu ~Crono 02:56, 8 May 2011 (EDT)

Oh sorry, I see now. I have get 145 edits in either of the categories. Sorry.Darkheart3

I don't think...

... I still can take care of this place... life is a little insane right now... I just can't have this responsibility anymore. Please... someone take over it... I'll see if I can come back when vacation starts, but for now I'm gone... Good bye (tho, I might pass by the IRC every once in a while) Every rule has an execption! Including this one.14:48, 15 May 2011 (EDT)

Question about edit count

Kamikaze Pardee - My imagination is my power! TALK - 08:22, 13 September 2011 (UTC) I'm wondering what exactly what one's edit count must involve in order to vote. Recently, my votes were removed from the Joint Struggle brackets and I'm wondering why. One the main page, it says: "#You must have at least 130 edits before voting. Check your editcount Here, by typing in your username. Please check for: Mainspace, Image, Main Page, Template, Walkthrough, Card, Kingdom Hearts Wiki, and MediaWiki edits.", and when I check my edit count it says I have over the 130 required. But where my question is that is it only Mainspace edits that count or what? It does not clearly state whether that is the case or not. Thanks in advance.

Chitalian8 Say... — And here's me, playing the world's tiniest violin. Your face is priceless. — 11:02, 13 September 2011 (UTC) The rules state that edits in the Mainspace, Image, Main Page, Template, Walkthrough, Card, Kingdom Hearts Wiki, and MediaWiki spaces count. When you tally up your total edits in those spaces, you have 76 edits, which makes you ineligible for the Mirage Arena.

Kamikaze Pardee - My imagination is my power! TALK - 23:20, 13 September 2011 (UTC) Ok, thanks for clearing that up. I understand now.

Braviaggron I contribute. 11:38, 5 October 2014 (UTC) But when I check this, I don't find all of those spaces that you mentionned. So what spaces count in the page I shown?

Question

If you are not logged in when you vote, your vote will be removed. But if it gets removed ¿You can log and re-add it?--Lukethehedgehog 20:12, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

Arena "Revamp"

SidVI - Rejoice! Victory is at hand! I cannot possibly lose! — 08:07, 4 February 2012 (UTC) Shouldn't this arena be open to every user on the wiki? I understand if this should be a reward, but the Mirage Arena can pull in more users (who are capable of working), and that would be beneficial to this wiki. Also, the Mirage Arena can do with more voters, which would be an even bigger opportunity to pull in new contributors.

Pea14733 Knowing it in your head doesn't mean much if you don't act on it. — 18:11, 4 February 2012 (UTC) Well, they have editcount requirement to prevent sockpuppets, don't they? But It'd be great if the editcount required is lower...

17master - Yo, is it true they sell curry here? A secret base ain't nothin' widdout curry, yo! TALK - Brotha' ain't a Liar. Brotha's a ramen man. A ramen man who knows how to make curry! - 18:18, 4 February 2012 (UTC) IMO 145 editcounts is low enough. Especially with stuff that can be done due to the merge. But yeah, making the MA public isn't a bad idea. Sockpuppets can be detected as well (and I doubt there are many here) so I don't see why not.

Erry - Wretched SeeD TALK - -CESONIV SOCEW CESUL SOHTIF- + -FITHOS LUSEC WECOS VINOSEC- ~ 18:21, 4 February 2012 (UTC) The editcounts are 130 and I think that's low enough, they could be lowered to 100 if we're desperate.

Chitalian8 Say... — And here's me, playing the world's tiniest violin. Your face is priceless. — 19:57, 4 February 2012 (UTC) I'm okay with it going as low as 80-ish, but that seems to be too low for everyone else.

LightRoxas - "It was the sound of books... pages being turned. So, that's just what I was doing, just reading, uh... books. So not a moron." TALK - "Apparently when you scream at a marshmallow, all you get is a scared marshmallow." One of the reasons I actually started editing was so I could vote. Having the requirement gives users a reason to work.

Keyhole Edits

Coldasfire - Hey, I feel like we're friends already. TALK - Get it memorized already.Freezing Cold21:59, 11 July 2012 (UTC) Do edits on the Keyhole count for your 130? I have 700 edits there, and 50ish here :P

maggosh ...the flint is struck. — "Maybe I should punish you after all." "Come on! Show a little backbone!" Does this look like the Keyhole?

What happenned?

What happened with the arena? Is it stopped? - MateusinhoEX 12:45, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

Looks like the ideas simply stopped coming, thus there wasn't a way to continue it.--ShadowsTwilight 17:14, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
