User talk:ArivakiVA/Archive1

Um hi. I'm ArivakiVA. I'm pretty new to this wiki, but I hope to become an admin or a patroller eventually. Most of the edits I do for this wiki are on the weapon pages, or I just do overall grammar and spelling checks. Feel free to say here if something needs some sort of fix. You can also strike up a conversation if you want, since I don't have Discord yet.
 * Edit: I also make custom signatures! If you ever have something you're going for but need help with, just ask and I'll make one for you!

No inkfest :(
Hey Arikava,

I won't be able to participate in your inkfest, sorry. I have school and work and it doesn't work out, so yeah. Sorry.

Thanks, Xandpochondria (talk) 20:40, 17 October 2022 (UTC)


 * It's alright! The Inkfest does last 6 days, but if you can't participate, that is a-okay! Thank you for letting me know. :) Hope school and work turn out okay! ArivakiVA (talk) 16:57, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Uh, well, can I at least have a vote for a team? (only if you want to) But, yeah, it's okay! ArivakiVA (talk) 21:24, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Sure, chocolate! The fest seems a lil stacked tho lol.
 * Xandpochondria (talk) 17:28, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * What exactly do you mean by stacked? But, anyway, thank you so much for the vote! (Huge feeling that Chocolate will win) ArivakiVA (talk) 17:55, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Didn't see this. If you need clarification, I meant stacked as in everyone is on this one team, no one else is on the other. Sorry if it's just some dumb American slang, whoops.
 * Xandpochondria S3_Badge_Toni_Kensa_100.png 00:53, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for explaining! I use a lot of slang myself, but I just wanted to ask. I also agree about the team alignment. Maybe I should make the choice harder next time. ArivakiVA S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTGoldDynamoRoller.png 17:05, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah, maybe something a little more debated, but not controversial or political (think of Splatfests). Maybe something like fruit vs. veggie. Hey, you could do that. If you wanted. Xandpochondria S3_Badge_Toni_Kensa_100.png 00:17, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Ooh! Great idea! I'll credit you if I use that for a fest. Thanks! ArivakiVA S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTGoldDynamoRoller.png 16:45, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

Inkfest
Hiiii, I'll love to participate in the Inkfest, I think it should be better to make it in S2 as it has the Turf War (Splatfest) option and I think it has a Brown vs White combination (im not sure). Also I saw your rules page and I think that a whole week maybe is like, a lot? Maybe Half a week to make it more exclusive but also accessible for everyone to participate.

Im Team Chocolate.

(I will make you know the Ink Color combination soon)

see ya!

Platelet✨(talk👌🏻) 01:18, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi Again!, I didnt found a white vs brown ink colora in Turf War Splatfest, the most brown-ish is the Fam vs Friend combination, maybe we can use that one?

Platelet✨(talk👌🏻) 02:46, 19 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Alrighty, thanks for joining! Thank you for your vote, I was also thinking S2 would be more convenient, I just have to take it out of my game archive. I'll check the ink options, but your suggestion sounds great! Also, I'm making the Fest last a week because of...well, a terrible schedule. (I can only host the Fest for about an hour and a half a day, haha.) Again, thanks! :) ArivakiVA (talk) 16:32, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Also ink colors are gonna be the Fam vs. Friend colors! :) ArivakiVA (talk) 18:56, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

Tableturf references S1 art...
I just noticed while looking through art for the main weapon classes (to make sure that I don't need to upload a better quality image) that some of the S1 promo art for the weapons look almost the same as the tableturf cards for them...for example, the card for the Rapid Blaster looks like the S1 art for the Rapid Blaster. If you wanna see, just go to Blaster (weapon class) and look under the art. :/ ArivakiVA (talk) 21:26, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Sorry to butt in-I accidentally subscribed and got an email lol-but if you click on my page and take a look at my info box the code looks different than the one you have. I think the difference is subtle but infoboxes are so particular and I literally had to copy off of someone's page to figure it out. I'm not sure how to show you, but I could try and make it work and then you see the code.

(P.S: I TOTALLY screwed up my previous explanation so ignore that.) Clarinet.octo  ( talk ) 21:41, 4 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Funny, I actually got the code for my infobox off of someone else's page by copying it from the source. I would appreciate if you tried to show me, even if it doesn't work! Thanks for the help! ArivakiVA S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTGoldDynamoRoller.png 17:09, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

Colors for your Signature
Since the talk became a bit longer I thought about creating a section on your talk Page instead. The colors are simply in hex code meaning there is a # followed by six numbers/letters. For cyan you could use cyan. The pink and green in my signature for exmple are the same colors used in Splatoon 2 while my future Splatoon 3 themed Signature (which is now similar to your current one) uses the yellow-blue from the game too. For any other desired color in general I advise you to simply google the hex of a certain color (there are also websites with color picker option). If you want in-game colors I suggest checking the code of Template:Ink and Template:InkColor. I hope I could help. If you have any other questions feel free to ask me again either here or on Discord. 17:33, 22 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Okay! Thanks a lot! Thanks for the template for my new sig too. :)  ArivakiVA    S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTGoldDynamoRoller.png #3a0ccd talk #3a0ccd 17:36, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

my time for sig help
Hey!

Do you have any ideas on how to change my sig color black? I've looked but can't seem to get it right. Suggestions? Xan 16:32, 23 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Well, based on what I learned from @Perfectionist-san, the easiest way to figure out how to change your sig color, you mostly just need a template with the color already changed, and then add the hex code for black. A hex code is basically just a # followed by six numbers/letters. I don't exactly know what the hex code is for black, but I could mess around a little to try and figure it out. I guess I'll just try to make a sig template for you, and then send you the link/deets. I'll probably figure it out in a day or two.  ArivakiVA    S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTGoldDynamoRoller.png #3a0ccd talk #3a0ccd 17:46, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Maybe you should just ask @Perfectionist-san for the hex code for black, and then I can make the template quicker.  ArivakiVA    S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTGoldDynamoRoller.png #3a0ccd talk #3a0ccd 17:47, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Done! Now all ya gotta do is go to your signature under preferences, and add {{User:Xandpochondria/Sig2} (with an extra } at the end) and it should work!  ArivakiVA    S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTGoldDynamoRoller.png #3a0ccd talk #3a0ccd 18:33, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Good: You succeded in making the sig black, and thanks!
 * Bad: You spelled my name wrong, it's Xandpochoncria, you forgot the d. Maybe I should name change. Xan  S2_Brand_Toni_Kensa.png 18:43, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

New Inkfest page
So, @Octoling E s3 and I are hosting an Inkfest, and I was wondering how I could create a page of my own for this Inkfest. Kind of like a sandbox, but for this Inkfest. 00:44, 25 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Well, it's kind of like making a sandbox. The name should be one of your guys' names, followed by '/Splatana vs. Stringer'. If you need any templates or ideas or anything, feel free to copy off of my Inkfestedit page, here: User:ArivakiVA/Chocolate vs. Vanilla. Hope this helps! Oh yeah, and can you let me know when the page is done so I can read it? I'm interested in joining if I can. :) I'm also surprised you trusted me to help you.

 * How do I do the list on the right side that has all the info like main weapons and level Ratch (talk) 18:40, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Well, to make an infobox, the easiest way is to copy the source for this, the easiest way to do so being to click the 'edit source' button on the right the bold and large "Thank you" and copy-pasting this onto your user page and filling it out as you like! Here:

I put a filler image, but if you want it replaced, I can do that, just give me the image you want. :)  ArivakiVA       #3a0ccd talk #3a0ccd 18:47, 6 December 2022 (UTC)


 * If you look at the source, it'll look like, for example, this; '{{Infobox/Property|color={{SiteColor|Splatoon}}|Level|' after the |Level|, just put your in game level! It's pretty much the same for every other category, you just have to fill in the info after the category. Like this: '|Category|info'.If you need any more help, let me know, and I'll get back to ya as soon as I can!

 * Thing is, I'm a bit busy right now, but I can teach you how to create a signature later if you tell me what images you want in your signature!

 * ok, tell me when you are free Ratch (talk) 20:44, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay, so the easiest way to create a custom signature is to create a page, that in your case would be titled; User:Ratch/Sig (this can also be a link so you can create that page!). And in that page, you would put Ratch] (with one more ] at the end of my example.). And you would also put ([[User talk:Ratch|talk] (with another ] and ) at the end of my example.) And after entering those, you would something put this (I'll just use a random image as an example): [[File:S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png|26px] (again, with one more ] at the end). All you have to do is place any image you want! A small not though, the 26px part is how big the image will be, but it has to be less than 30px.

 * (Splitting explanation bc I'm rambling haha) Next, after you put in the image(s) you want at the end of your name, click on your username in the top right corner, and click on 'preferences' once the bar expands. In preferences, scroll down until you see 'signature' in bold. Under 'new signature', delete your current signature that's in the box, and replace it with {{User:Ratch/Sig} (again, with another } at the end of my example). There will also be a box next to the phrase 'treat signature as wikitext', make sure that box is blue (which you have to click it to make it blue). Sorry for the long explanation, and I hope this helps! If you need anymore help, just ask!

 * Except snipers, they're fine. Wind Waker Link.jpg S2 Weapon Main Hero Shot Lv. 3.png (talk) 11:42, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Yeeeee, I hate that weapon too. It's like, "lets combine the two most powerful rollers, Carbon, and Dynamo, to make a roller that can take you out faster than you can say 'Ouch'" Wide range, fast, and if close enough, can one hit you. Wind Waker Link.jpg S2 Weapon Main Hero Shot Lv. 3.png (talk) 18:09, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

However, as I already told you in my talk page, of course you can use them, even if I didn't understand if you were talking about the tables or the tags in my user page.

 * Okay, figured out the problem, I never put that instead of my signature, I would just type out my message and leave that out....sorry for the inconvenience I might have caused. Thanks for letting me know!  ArivakiVA    S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTGoldDynamoRoller.png S3 Badge Classic Squiffer 5.png #3a0ccd talk #3a0ccd 17:43, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

 * If you're having trouble, just go to your user Preferences, then scroll down to the Signature section. From there, just type User:ArivakiVA/Sig into the text box, and make sure that the box that's captioned "Treat signature as wikitext" is checked. Then, you just save, and that should be it! 19:28, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay, think I got it! Thanks again! 18:14, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

Friend Request
I was wondering if we could be friends on the switch. My switch name is "seymour!". If you would like to be friends let me know! My friend code is on my user page. :) I hope you have a good day/night! Oddlildude  ( chat ) 00:31, 23 December 2022 (UTC)


 * I also wanted to point out that my music taste is similar to yours. Jack Stauber is one of my favorite artists!! I like Wallows and Cavetown too. You should listen to songs by Dayglow. They are a very upbeat band. :) S3 art 3D Inkling splat.png Oddlildude ( chat )[[file:S3 Inkling E-liter Scope Render.png|45px]] 14:40, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Really? That's pretty cool! I've listened to one of Dayglow's songs, so I'll go and check out the others! Thanks for the recommendation, and of course we can be friends! I'll send a request later. Have an amazing day, and my current username is on my page if you don't recognize me right away!

Your inkfest
I would like to vote (and hopefully participate but soccer takes up a lot on my schedule)! My vote will be for team fruit (the objectively better option)! 23:07, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

I am going team fruit! Hopefully I can participate, I'll know once you release the time and date for the inkfest. Oddlildude ( chat ) 23:17, 27 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Hey, Hiro (Arivaki) told me to let ya know, the date is set for some time in February, and they'll start on the page for it soon. And let me (or them) know what the best times you can play are, they're very particular about participants. Thanks for the votes!

 * Yo. Just wanted to let y'all know that I also have a fest planned for March. Just sayin. Have a nice day! (the theme is deciduous vs. evergreen, idea from @Magewalrus!0. 17:44, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

Inkfest Idea
I had an idea for an Inkfest, specifically Deciduous vs. Evergreen. I cannot host it, but you can if you want. Thanks, Sapphy (talk) 20:42, 28 December 2022 (UTC)


 * That's actually super cool! I'll probably host that one in a couple months, and I'll credit you for the idea! Thanks! 19:42, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
 * You're welcome! I have a loose layout of dialogue for Pearl and Marina, I don't know if you have a custom set of idols that host your Inkfests, if so, you may need to modify it. Sapphy (talk) 06:39, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I do have a couple of custom idols, but I would love to hear your dialogue suggestions! 17:58, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay, so again, this is pretty loose, but I was thinking something along the lines of this would work. It's also pretty long.
 * Pearl: It's a battle for the ages!
 * Marina: It is?
 * Pearl: The trees that change with the seasons, Team Deciduous!
 * Marina: Versus the trees that stay strong and bright all year - Team Evergreen!
 * Pearl: Deciduous is basically the only option, right? I mean, they're so bright like fire in autumn!
 * Marina: You're very enthusiastic about this... You might be less passionate when you have to clean those leaves up...
 * Pearl: You aren't afraid of a little exercise, are ya, Marina?
 * Marina: Hey!
 * Pearl: And that effort is worth it to jump in the huge pile of leaves you create!
 * Marina: Oh, uh, really? That's cool. But evergreen trees smell really nice and are pretty clean.
 * Pearl: You don't understand ANYTHING, Marina. Who cares about a tree that just stands there, being boring?!
 * Marina: Which tree do you like better?
 * (Since I don't really know how Inkfests work, the next line may have to be replaced.)
 * Pearl: Head over to the pledge box and pick a side!
 * Sapphy (talk) 02:55, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
 * That's perfect! I'll probably only change a couple things, so this is great! Thanks, my friend! 22:16, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I think the Salsa vs. Guac colors would work best if it's in Splatoon 2, but I don't know for Splatoon 3. Sapphy (talk) 00:55, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Okay! Thanks again, I'll be sure to give credit. Happy New Year! 18:34, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

 * I haven't seen a lot of anime, what is this one about? Ratch (talk) 17:16, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 * It's about a boy named Kusuo Saiki who has psychic powers, but the only thing he wants is to be normal. Unfortunately, the things that happen to him are anything but normal. It's just a comedy anime on Netflix that I really like and am re-watching. 17:29, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 * oh ok I'll try to check it out but we might take Netflix off because we don't watch a lot on it Ratch (talk) 18:08, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 * That's alright! Thanks for at least wanting to check it out! 18:10, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Barnsquids are awards that users can get from contributing to the wiki. You can also get them from participating in Inkfests. The page Inkipedia Barnsquids has more information about them.  15:40, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
 * oh, so how would I get one for the stringers vs splatonas inkfest Ratch (talk) 16:06, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I would try contacting the person who hosted the Inkfest  16:08, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Signatures
could you make me a custom signatures, tbh I still haven't figured out how and the fact im on a school chromebook doesn't help Ratch (talk) 18:40, 6 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Sure! What kind of signature do you want? Do you want it to be a different color, or have images at the end? Or heck, even both if you want! Just tell me what you'd like! :D 18:42, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Could you do both, and add the gold toothpick and E-liter sticker, and surprise me for the third image and color Ratch (talk) 18:50, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Alright then! I'll be done in a bit! (to clarify though, the 5 star e-liter sticker or the 4 star one?) 18:52, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
 * 5-star pleas, altho I have not got it yet and thank you for doing this Ratch (talk) 18:59, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
 * You're welcome! 19:00, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
 * It's done! Now all you gotta do is put under 'your new signature' in your preferences (make sure the box next to 'treat signature as wikitext' is blue), and then save it! Hope you like it, and if you want me to change anything, just let minnow! (sorry I had to make that pun)  19:04, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much! Quick question tho, how many images can you have on it at once? Ratch  S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTAerosprayRG.png S3 Badge E-liter 4K 5.png 19:13, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
 * As many as you like (I think) as long as the images are less than 30px large. 19:13, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
 * (sorry i had school) could you add an image of an inkstrike and change the name color to orange Ratch  S2_Gear_Headgear_Golden_Toothpick.png JPTAerosprayRG.png S3 Badge E-liter 4K 5.png 20:23, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Okay, think I got it. 18:07, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

Userbox
You actually kind of inspired me to make it!

P.S. You need to archive you're talk page soon, the detriment to being so popular lol. Xan   20:23, 6 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Aw, thanks for the userbox! Also, I don't think I'm that popular. I don't even know how to archive my talk page, either. 18:02, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
 * People usually arrive their talk page around 35,000 bytes. Yours is at 106,497 bytes. I would contact and admin about how to archive your page. Hope this helped a little :)  18:58, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Oh wow. Okay. Thanks for telling me, that is a lot. 😬 19:01, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

Byte counter
So, uhhhh, you might need one after you archive this talk page lol. Feel free to copy the source code off of mine if you need to! 19:33, 7 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks! I will! 00:27, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
