With tears in my eyes, i greeted the Dear Leader as he emerge from the northern red gates of Bakatsukigrad.

I bowed my head when he approached and held my hand out, as he extended his hands, he shook me firmly before pulling me into a brotherly hug.

"Dear Leader!" I cried.

He let go and looked into my eyes and said:

"Dear Comrade brother, i have returned. You will not fight alone. Let us together, drive those capitalist dogs from our lands and free the people, to be baka anytime and anywhere."

And with a wave of his hand, he gave back the power to the people, unicorns descended from the sky and the people rejoiced!

As i stood and witness the miracle of wikicommunist unicorns in uniform, i slowly notice the red gates of Bakatsukigrad, i suddenly cried in panic, "Big Boss!"

He stopped walking to the gates, pausing before turning round, the glare of seven golden Bakatama emerging from the gate, before settling into orbiting the Dear Leader, forced me to shield my eyes.

"Do not fear Comrade Brother, for my life's breath is all but spent. There shall come a time far from now when our wiki itself is dying, even as I am now dying, and our foes shall gather to destroy us. Then my brothers, I shall listen for your call in whatever realm of death holds me, and come I shall, no matter what the laws of life and death forbid. At the end I will be there. For the final battle. For the Baka-time."

I slowly raised my arms and waved, crying for the gift he has given us, and with a final shudder the red gates shut behind him.
Until the time comes again when we need him, he will walk amongst us mortals again. He will always be watching us.
:cry: :cry:

Nice role-play, I liked it. ^^

By the way, could we talk about that :

What do you think?
I find it would be a good thing for a lot of our translators, who aren't interested into posting on the forum, but more about translating stuff... So a lot of them are very slow reaching the current limit and it's kind of annoying regarding their inability to send PM. :wink:

I'm siding with Lery on this matter, after I thought a bit about it.

Not that it'll greatly change the current system, but new users will appreciate this.

I agree with Lery that it's a bit annoying, specially the inability to send PM. (Misogi sends me and I can't answer him :? )
If lowering the numbers of messages until you get unpinked and don't need approval is too problematic what about :
0->5 = Can't send PM and need approval
5->10 = Can send PM (maybe with a system to be sure its not a spam? Like 1PM/Day?) but still need approval.
Sorry if it sounds stupid (or if there's some grammar mistakes)

Well, actually you're the perfect example, Ocu ^^''

Mhhh, that would be even more complicated to do it that way. It's still easier to decrease the limit to 5 than to do something like that, because it would involve two rank changes. :wink:

Ah right I didnt think about this.
I'm having quite a few [useless] ideas but it look like reducing down the limit to 5 is the simpler way.
And it may be a stupid question but what's the problem ('recent spam')?
I find it quite hard to spam with the registering and the pink-pseudo thing.

This is an old thread. the pink thing is the result of the not-so 'recent' spam.

Since spam is less of an issue now, i have no objection to reducing the pink posting from 10 to 5.
The policy will be effective today and has no effect on new account created before this date.

Thanks, Oni. As long as it doesn't cause a spam wave, I think it's better that way.
