User talk:ArivakiVA

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. Arivaki-Kun (banter)

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 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 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 00:17, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

Ooh! Great idea! I'll credit you if I use that for a fest. Thanks! ArivakiVA 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)

Aw, cute! I'm surprised someone actually answered my question! What hairstyle? Mine has the mohawk. :) ArivakiVA 20:14, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

My little buddy's name is Tino, and he has the Mohawk hairstyle. Just thought I'd share! Jacobearth • chit-chat 22:13, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

You too Chrome Wolf (🎙, 🗂). 21:45, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

Little Buddy

Hello! I read your page and I thought I would say my little buddy’s info. His name is Squeaky and he has that Pompadour hairstyle (the one that is curved up). I thought it was a hilarious hairstyle so yeah lol. Nice talking to you! :)

Clarinet.octo (talk) 20:52, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for answering! I thought the pompadour hairstyle was funny too, but the mohawk was too good to pass up. ArivakiVA 16:55, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

Little Buddy

His name's Bonshaquetalafontreea (Bon-sha-que-ta-la-fon-tree-a). Also you're right, people who say to Booyah never do and it saddens me :( DaRootBeer1231 (talk) 01:32, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

Cool name! Also I'm surprised that you saw what I left on your user page, haha. ArivakiVA 16:55, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

Just some help

Noticed your intro was broken, try putting {USERNAME} Chrome Wolf (🎙, 🗂). 19:46, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

I knew there was something wrong! Thanks! ArivakiVA 21:07, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

I fixed that, but do you have any ideas as to why the images don't work for the info box? I've tried a couple, but they're not working. The image will be a placeholder until I can upload images of my avatar. ArivakiVA 21:13, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

Your welcome Chrome Wolf (🎙, 🗂). 12:53, 14 November 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 17:09, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

I got it to work! Thanks! ArivakiVA 17:25, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

(Oh yeah, I copied it off your page but changed a couple things ;) Thanks again!) ArivakiVA 20:01, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

Yay! I’m glad. Sorry I wasn’t much help, but I’m happy you got it running. ✌️

Clarinet.octo (talk) 20:02, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

You might not have helped much, but I appreciate it anyway! Thanks, and have a great day! ArivakiVA 20:04, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

You’ve been nice enough to answer my questions, so I’m going to ask another one,

How do I add my page under the “collectibles” category on the main page? Wind Waker (talk) 20:26, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

As much as I would love to sound smart and tell you how, I'm not quite sure myself. Maybe ask an admin? (Also, you're welcome for answering your questions, and you're very polite too!) ArivakiVA 17:43, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

Okay, I appreciate it! Wind Waker (talk) 17:25, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

You're welcome. :) ArivakiVA 21:28, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Overdue answer to a question

So, there was something you said on PJ's talk page about wanting to listen to my music playlists on YT iirc. Well then, here's the link to my channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOWIc1GWu0M_3YGP-mInFHw

Thank you for your interest and have a nice day! User:Cynical Prince/Sig 16:22, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Oof, yeah, I probably should. I'm just really fickle. Thanks for the feedback! XD   ArivakiVA   (talk) 19:01, 29 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 #00ffff. 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.   Perfectionist   (talk) 17:33, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

Okay! Thanks a lot! Thanks for the template for my new sig too. :)   ArivakiVA   (talk) 17:36, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

Who are the other members?

That is Damp Socks ChromeWolf (🎙, 🗂) 20:19, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

I know! I meant their names. I am a bit curious about band lore.   ArivakiVA   (talk) 22:33, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

My research shows there are no names. ChromeWolf (🎙, 🗂) 15:22, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

Hope it gets revealed eventually, then!   ArivakiVA   (talk) 15:38, 23 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   (talk) 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   (talk) 17:47, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

I already know what it is, I uess i just needed a template. If you need to know, it's 000000. Xan 17:55, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

Okay then! Thanks! I'll get right on it! Should be ready soon!   ArivakiVA   (talk) 18:27, 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   (talk) 18:33, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

In replacement of your old sig, of course.   ArivakiVA   (talk) 18:34, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

There's good and bad news:

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 18:43, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

I think I can fix it though. Thanks, friend! Xan 18:44, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

Okay! Sorry about the spelling error! You (or me) could probably fix the spelling error though. Only if you want, though!   ArivakiVA   (talk) 18:45, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

Oh yeah, and you're welcome! Glad I could help!   ArivakiVA   (talk) 18:45, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

Done! Thanks! Xan 18:46, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

Again, you're very welcome! :)   ArivakiVA   (talk) 18:46, 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. Jacobearth • chit-chat 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.   ArivakiVA   (talk) 15:45, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

Alright, thanks! The page should be done by the end of today. Jacobearth • chit-chat 16:19, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

You're welcome! And thanks! (also when I said 'Inkfestedit, that was my stupid computer auto-correcting. I meant to say 'Inkfest'.)   ArivakiVA   (talk) 17:54, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

What team are you on?

I just need to know so that I can put your name down on the page. Jacobearth • chit-chat 19:07, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

Team Stringers!   ArivakiVA   (talk) 19:33, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

Alright, I have you down. I’m also team stringers! Jacobearth • chit-chat 22:14, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

Cool! I look forward to the fest! :)   ArivakiVA   (talk) 00:51, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

How’s this

Is this a good image? Basically a melted white chocolate type. ℂ𝕙𝕣𝕠𝕞𝕖 𝕎𝕠𝕝𝕗 (🎙) 00:52, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

It looks AWESOME! Thanks so much, I'll be sure to use it (with credit from you, of course). Thanks again!   ArivakiVA   (talk) 18:00, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

Thank you

Honestly I thought you were an admin a first xD and you already had me on your page xD also I love your page and can I ask how you did some of that? Ratch (talk) 21:18, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

I just realized you have a program or something that shows the username of whoever is on the page. How did you do that??? Honestly I thought you just change the name some times Ratch (talk) 13:53, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

{{USERNAME|Guest}}} command. This makes anyone viewing the page see their own name. Clarinet.octo (talk)File:S3 Tableturf Card Murch.png 15:33, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

Yup! It's a pretty simple template, also thank you regarding the page! It took a lot of effort. I do hope to be an admin someday!   ArivakiVA   (talk) 17:52, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

thank, and can you tell me how to do other stuff for my profile Ratch (talk) 17:58, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

Sure, once I get the time!   ArivakiVA   (talk) 17:59, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

For now though, feel free to look at my page and find something specific that you want for your page so that I can teach you how to put it on yours!   ArivakiVA   (talk) 18:01, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

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:

Ratch​

Ratch

Template:InfoboxPropertyTemplate:InfoboxPropertyTemplate:InfoboxPropertyTemplate:InfoboxPropertyTemplate:InfoboxPropertyTemplate:InfoboxPropertyTemplate:InfoboxPropertyTemplate:InfoboxPropertyTemplate:InfoboxPropertyTemplate:InfoboxProperty

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

If you look at the source, it'll look like, for example, this; '{{InfoboxProperty|color=170, 220, 0|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!   ArivakiVA   (talk) 18:52, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

can you look at mine to see what I should change Ratch (talk) 19:27, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

Well, I looked at it, and it looks great! If you want me to change the image though, I can, I just need to know what image you want. Otherwise, it looks good!   ArivakiVA   (talk) 20:03, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

Copy of Ink Pump weapons discussion

I hate splatanas. With, a, PASSION. I would be a stringer if it meant purging ourselves from those wretched weapons.

So yeah sure, sounds cewl. Wind Waker 13:28, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Oi, there. Octoling E s3 (talk) 02:24, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Well, uh, er- I don’t hate the people who use them. But nothing, I say NOTHING, should be able to 1-hit-kill anyone. Rollers, splatanas, blasters, stringers, all those things have good range, BUT ARE JUST PLAIN OL’ OP UP CLOSE.

Except snipers, they’re fine. Wind Waker (talk) 11:42, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

As a Squiffer and Inkbrush main, respect on the charger comment. Also I kinda like Splatanas. I'm just better with a Stringer. Massive respect to those who spend their time mastering the Splatana.   ArivakiVA   (talk) 19:57, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

I lose respect for people who use splatanas. They are jus’ toooooooo OP Wind Waker (talk) 21:29, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

And thank you, @Wind Waker! Octoling E s3 (talk) 23:20, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

AS long as we're united under a common liking. (or downright obsession ;) ) Octoling E s3 (talk) 23:19, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Ye, I’m just sarcasticly exaggerating, I don’t actually hate splatana users, I just like sarcasm.

A lot. Wind Waker (talk) 01:26, 3 December 2022 (UTC)

Same. Octoling E s3 (talk) 01:45, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

Nvm, I can’t respect all snipers, snipewriter is OP as all get out. Wind Waker (talk) 12:02, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

So is the Nova lol. Octoling E s3 (talk) 23:21, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Yeah, honestly, I hate the Snipewriter. Kind of a shame, since I was looking forward to it since I'm a charger main. The Nova wasn't as good as I thought it would be either. :/   ArivakiVA   (talk) 19:27, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

Well, then again, I'm just really unlucky.   ArivakiVA   (talk) 19:27, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

But the Big Swig is a pretty good roller main. Octoling E s3 (talk) 01:46, 5 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 (talk) 18:09, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

Pretty sure the roller can only one-shot you if it uses a vertical swing directly in front of you. The weapon's okay, I guess. Also I like being sarcastic too, to be honest.   ArivakiVA   (talk) 18:22, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
