Sorry; I didn't think I needed to respond. I tried to change the wording to better reflect that it was an average value and not an exact thing (though the definition of lottery is that it's random).

As for the spawn time change: I'm not a big fan of lottery spawns having ranges for thier spawn time, since you'll get a lot of "it took X hours to spawn!" edits, then a bunch of reverts from other editors (presumably because they think the other editors missed a spawn or something). You don't usually get those with average values, so I prefer to use them instead.

Anyways, sorry, I wasn't ignoring you; I actually thought you were very polite about it and tried to do what you suggested. ~ Karuberu 05:09, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

The minimum repop time for any true lottery spawn is 1 pop (in this case, 5 minutes), it's just nearly impossible for that to happen, since they have such a low chance to pop each time. Two hours is the generally accepted average spawn time for VE, as well as the rounded median of the range you used (the median of 30 minutes and 3 hours is 1.75 hours, rounded up to 2), so that's why I like that number. If you want to add a minimum spawn time line, I won't mess with it, but I don't think it's really neccessary. ~ Karuberu 22:27, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, you might be right about it having a minimum pop time; Even with the extremely low chance it has to spawn, if it was possible to spawn after 1 pop, it probably would have done it by now. I do think average spawn times should be on the pages, though. After all, most lottery spawn NMs have different chances to spawn each time a placeholder spawns, and a lot have different respawn times for thier placeholders, so they all have slightly different average spawn times. ~ Karuberu 05:25, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Warrior Guide
Sorted. Thanks for bringing that to my attention, he'll get the hint after a 1 month vacation. -- 04:47, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

I hadn't looked at the edits and any edit war on the category page, just at the arguments on the talk page. Nor am I weighing the contributions of one user vs. another - I know you contribute a lot - and contribute a lot of good edits. I was just weighing in as a user. Seems to me that PLD is pretty much understood in the community. If you are asserting RDM then it would seem that would need to be backed by something. That's really all I meant to say. I was not meaning conclusively resolve any edit war. -- 01:31, 5 April 2008 (UTC)


 * What more do you want? I blocked him for two weeks for edit warring and removing verification tags per your complaint, doing the right thing coming to an admin instead of reverting yourself. I'm rather confused. The fact that you messed up on my talk page saving stuff is irrelevant and has no impact on anything. -- 21:49, 8 April 2008 (UTC)


 * The only reason I interjected because you brought me up in your conversation with Gahoo. That's it. And your talk page does not belong to you, it belongs to the community. If I want to make a message stand out, sometimes a little obscurity is needed. -- 19:32, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Beatiary Family Jobs
The new Template:Infobox Mob Family has rows for "Common Job(s)" and "Uncommon Job(s)". I'd think that this will take care of it. See Category:Rabbits as an example. -- 15:56, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, the family page is a general overview of the family, not a comprehensive summary off all individual mobs within that family. So take Beetles, for example.  I'd think that the Common Job would be listed as PLD.  That would seem to be the main job associated with that mob family.  If some subset of beetles are determined to be something else, then that would be designated as an Uncommon Job.  Fungus Beetle is listed as DRK, so I guess DRK could be listed an Uncommon Job - although if that mob is the only DRK beetle then maybe not.  This is an overview to give players a general idea about the family - not to list all possible rare combinations of mobs that fall into the family.  The individual pages do that.  -- 21:12, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
