The Make-A-Profession Contest
We should have a page where the completed professions go, right? Forgive me if there already is one, i couldn't find it. I Am Jebus 17:00, 31 January 2008 (EST)
 * All entries should be submitted via email to [mailto:contest@pvxwiki.com contest@pvxwiki.com]. The subject of the email should be something along the lines of "Profession Contest," and the email itself must contain the entrant's PvXwiki username. &not; Wizårdbõÿ777  ( sysop ) 19:53, 31 January 2008 (EST)
 * I'd also like to make a note that it isn't recommended for entrants to publicly post their professions before the contest is over. Also, take the time to tweak and balance out profession designs. Much of the judging will be based on balance and concept, so it may be worth spending the contest period to refine one profession rather than coming up with ten ideas. --[[Image:scottie_bow.jpg|19px]]  Scottie_theNerd  (argue / criticise / complain)  18:12, 2 February 2008 (EST)

Ambiguous skill description - Arcing Shot
The mouse over description on arcing shot claims that the arrow moves 150% slower, this is not the case, it moves 50% slower, and takes 150% normal time to reach its target, I hope that is the correct place to bring this to attention, if not could an admin tell me where i should put this, thank you. --marty 10000--

NPA again. Greatly underestimates Armond's ban hammer powers as well. -- Guild of  Deals  09:12, 2 March 2008 (EST)
 * Try not to exacerbate the situation by spamming his talk page with empty threats. The sysops can handle it.
 * Responding to NPA violations with NPA violations isn't the right thing to do, either. - Auron 09:18, 2 March 2008 (EST)
 * It wasn't really an NPA IMO, but fine, sorry. Still, needs admin review. BTW, you don't need a ":" in front of each line, you only need it on one. --[[image:GoD Sig3.jpg|20px]] Guild of  Deals  09:20, 2 March 2008 (EST)
 * The topics on each line were unrelated. Usually people who write in English put unrelated topics in different paragraphs. If I had used only one :, the topics would have meshed together and not been as clear. - Auron 09:32, 2 March 2008 (EST)

 * If a user places the Testing template into their userpage, the right thing to do is either to remove the template, or add the nowiki tags so that it doesn't appear in Testing. You have already taken the initiative by leaving a message on the user's talk page.
