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)

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)

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. ✌️

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)

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?

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)

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)

could you change the image? you can surprise me Ratch (talk) 15:53, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

Oh, okay! I'll see what I can find! :D   ArivakiVA   (talk) 17:59, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

Also I saw that you put your friend code on your page, could I add you? My username is Ratch Ratch (talk) 18:10, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

Sure! :)   ArivakiVA   (talk) 18:11, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

Love the photo, honestly I used the gasmask a lot in splatoon 2 and one of my mains is aerospray. fyi I have not read any of the mangas other than the first one because i'm going to buy them all eventually. Ratch (talk) 18:28, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, but the image isn't from the manga! It's actually just official art for Splatoon 1. I thought it looked cool, so I'm glad you like it!   ArivakiVA   (talk) 18:32, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

I also chose that image because it says on your page that you main Aerospray! Thought it would be a cool choice.   ArivakiVA   (talk) 18:33, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

Well I love it! Also how do you do the User tags and the images by your username? Ratch (talk) 19:03, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

For the user tags, I pretty much just copied the templates off of other's pages (with permission), and for the images by my username, I created a custom signature!   ArivakiVA   (talk) 19:05, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

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!   ArivakiVA   (talk) 19:06, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

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 [[User:Ratch|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.   ArivakiVA   (talk) 21:25, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

(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!   ArivakiVA   (talk) 21:30, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

Thank you so much! I'm going to do that when I have a chance but can you help me with something at my page, I added a LOT and I want it to be under the infobox like you have yours but every time I try to put it under it just goes into the info box, I was wondering if you can help me or if you know how to fix it. Ratch (talk) 16:22, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

I know how to fix it, but it's hard to explain. Do I have permission to fix it myself?   ArivakiVA   (talk) 17:49, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

yes, and thank you! Ratch (talk) 18:09, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

You're welcome!   ArivakiVA   (talk) 18:38, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

Thank you so much! It looks great! What else do you think I should add to my profile? Ratch (talk) 19:08, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

You're welcome again! And as for what you should add, whatever you want! User pages are supposed to be a personal user space to express yourself, which is why I decided to just go crazy and do stuff like add a gallery! I also used other peoples pages as inspiration, so maybe you could try that.   ArivakiVA   (talk) 19:15, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

Also, do you want to join me in Big Run this weekend? I don't have voice chat, but it sounds fun. If so, I'm online at around 1:00 to 3:00 PDT time.   ArivakiVA   (talk) 19:17, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

Wow. Lucky. You have IRL friends that play Splatoon? Huh. Thanks for the invite though! And the best way I can message you is here, haha.   ArivakiVA   (talk) 20:11, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

Only problem is that I play in the afternoon and you play at night, but it's fine! Thanks!   ArivakiVA   (talk) 20:13, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

Well 1:00 to 3:00 PDT is 4:00-7:00 EST so I can play then if you can, but would that be on saturday or sunday? I can play tonight to Ratch (talk) 20:32, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

I'll be online today starting at around 7:00 EST (maybe) but on the weekend (Saturday and Sunday) I'll start at around 4:00 EST.   ArivakiVA   (talk) 20:33, 9 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)

Or if they’re close, you hit them horizontally then run them over instantaneously. Wind Waker (talk) 19:39, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

True. Always died before I could do that though.   ArivakiVA   (talk) 20:09, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

So glad that MPU is gone, because if Big Swig Rollers had that....('0-0)   ArivakiVA   (talk) 20:34, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

‘MPU’? Wind Waker (talk) 21:09, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

As another talk page stalker, MPU stands for Main Power Up. Chivalryn (talk) 21:54, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

Gotchya.

And hey, page stalking is an important profession Wind Waker (talk) 22:35, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

Hah, I guess so! XD   ArivakiVA   (talk) 18:33, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

Hey there!

Hey there, this is Paradoxe-Nana! You were asking me if you could use some user boxes you noticed in my user page, and I replied to you, but I saw you haven't replied yet, so I was afraid you didn't know I saw your message. 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. Whatever you were talking about, there is no copyright, so feel free to take inspiration! ;) Have a good day/night! Paradoxe-Nana (talk) 19:42, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

I replied just about a second ago, I was just busy with school. Thanks! Have a great week!   ArivakiVA   (talk) 19:44, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

Hey!!

How did you do on the big run? Ratch (talk) 17:58, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

SUPER close to getting into the top 5%. I got 99 golden eggs as my high score. I was so disappointed...TwT I still consider that a win though. How'd you do?   ArivakiVA   (talk) 18:08, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

My friend (the one who played last night, which btw was fun) got the bare minimum of 137 and I got 144 Ratch (talk) 18:40, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

Dang. Maybe I should've played more yesterday instead of doing private battles. 😐   ArivakiVA   (talk) 18:47, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

You're talking about the private battles too, right? That was fun!   ArivakiVA   (talk) 18:48, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

ya, the whole time I was on a call with him and it was so funny during the clam blitz game I put you two together. Also I got really lucky with the big run game, my second best was 113 and my team carried me that game xD Ratch (talk) 19:00, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

Really? Cool! Oh yeah, remember that one game where I got put on a team by myself? I remember at the beginning of the match I kept saying "Oh no. OH NO." and my brother told me to be quiet from across the couch! I figured there was no point in trying against both of you. And apparently I probably could've gotten 100 eggs if not for the one stupid Mothership wave I got with a bunch of random people!   ArivakiVA   (talk) 19:25, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

I tried begging @Chivalryn to play Big Run with me, but she said no because she was on a winning streak. 😂 She watched me play that one Clam Blitz match where me and your friend were against you and she couldn't stop laughing.   ArivakiVA   (talk) 19:28, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

Ya that was a fun one, right before that I was dominating against him in a 1v1 so I thought, how hard would it be, turns out It was hard xD I'm just surprised I got any points that game Ratch (talk) 23:05, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

The first game he kept on saying "this guy knows what's up" and I stated to get worried, and I knew I was not going to win when you both had inkbrushes xD Ratch (talk) 15:26, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

Really?? Wow! Yeah, I'm not really sure what I was even doing, I was just like, 'Is this fair????' and @Hae's Home for Flowers (aka Chivalryn, she changed her name) was just like; 'sure it's fair!' >XD   ArivakiVA   (talk) 15:40, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

Ya it felt very fair every time I started panicking when you both had a power clam and were taking two separate routs to the basket xD Ratch (talk) 15:47, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

I wasn’t asked into here, but I need to vent,

I got 134,

3 short of top 5%,

I have photo evidence if requested. Wind Waker (talk) 16:27, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

dang, that sucks, at least we know you were to like top 10 if you were that close Ratch (talk) 17:10, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

Oof. I just realized that I had an idiot moment; I thought you only needed 100 eggs to get into top 5%, so I decided "oh, 99 eggs is probably a good place to stop". If only I had known...TwT But seriously, R.I.P., @Wind Waker.   ArivakiVA   (talk) 17:40, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

Honestly nintendo didn't do a good job explaining the big run, the example just made people think that you needed to get more than 100 for 5% Ratch (talk) 17:50, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

Yeah, really. Definitely would've appreciated more elaboration. Kinda off-topic, but I still find it odd that some people didn't participate. I kinda get it though.   ArivakiVA   (talk) 17:52, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

I mean some people prob can't play then Ratch (talk) 18:05, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

True, there was someone in the plaza who said they were sick all weekend and couldn't play. I remember my friend @Hae's Home for Flowers said she didn't want to, since she was on a roll on Anarchy Battles.   ArivakiVA   (talk) 18:08, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

I don't get why people have the chance but don't play, like it's fine do get bored of the splatfest or bug run and go to the alternative (I had fun doing that with my friend, and you) but not even try it? Ratch (talk) 19:00, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

I dunno, Hae is kind of a weirdo. She's like that all the time. She's pretty stubborn too, and is somehow able to resist my persistence. I think she tried it once though.   ArivakiVA   (talk) 19:06, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

Being a weirdo is no excuse, Im very much a weirdo and I still played xD Ratch (talk) 19:22, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

True! I dunno, guess she's just picky. Despite her rank in it, she's never been a fan of Salmon Run. She also hates Wahoo World, so maybe that added to it.   ArivakiVA   (talk) 17:49, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

I understand Wahoo World It isn't my favorite Ratch (talk) 18:22, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

Yeah, same. I miss Moray Towers, I always loved that one. Think they'll bring it back?   ArivakiVA   (talk) 18:23, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

They'll definitely bring Moray and Splashdown back and make a big deal out of it lol. Xan 18:29, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

I hope so, that is my favorite map, great for the E-Liter Ratch (talk) 18:51, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

Yeah, seriously! I also miss Splashdown. I know people say it's bad, but I loved that special till the very end. Same for Ink Armor.   ArivakiVA   (talk) 18:57, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

I don't think they will bring back splashdown tho, I think Reffslider was its replacement, with is bad in those terms Ratch (talk) 19:05, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

You're probably right. Oh well, R.I.P., Splashdown.   ArivakiVA   (talk) 19:41, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

As long as Moray Towers come back, I'll be happy Ratch (talk) 13:44, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Same.   ArivakiVA   (talk) 17:29, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Are not going to be able to play in the inkfest? Ratch (talk) 18:57, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Nope. I'm busy then, sadly. But fight for me, at least! (Well, depending what team you're on!)   ArivakiVA   (talk) 18:59, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

I'm on team Stringer, i'm kinda disappointed that the dapple dullies are on the other team but at least we have E-Liter Ratch (talk) 19:19, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

True. I was gonna use the Squiffer since the Inkbrush is for Team Splatana. :,)   ArivakiVA   (talk) 19:22, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Can you play tonight? Ratch (talk) 18:13, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

What time in your area?   ArivakiVA   (talk) 18:53, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

How about 20:00 EST? Ratch (talk) 20:51, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

Ey, uh, sorry I didn't get your message, I was busy with stuff. I can start playing today at around 5:00 PM EST at the latest. If you want, anyway. I'll probably just do Turf War to raise my catalog levels a bit.   ArivakiVA   (talk) 20:07, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

Alright, be online in a minute if you wanna join me in Turf War.   ArivakiVA   (talk) 21:17, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

hey, sorry I couldn't get on, I might be able to Tuesday night Ratch (talk) 14:06, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

That's fine, but I'm also busy this Tuesday too. Thanks for telling me though!   ArivakiVA   (talk) 18:44, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

New tag!

Hey there! I saw you put the Many Weapons tag on your user page, I'm glad you liked it! I wanted you to know that I just uploaded new icons with the Splatoon 3 renders. Here they are, so you can see them and if you like one you can use it :) Have a nice day! Paradoxe-Nana (talk) 11:34, 14 December 2022 (UTC) ; ; ;

Oh my goodness, thank you so much!!! These look awesome!!! I'll be sure to use them, thanks again!   ArivakiVA   (talk) 17:48, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

Question?

Sorry that if I'm nagging you, but, how far are you on reading my Sandbox Canon so far? P.J. GT(talk) 22:54, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

Oh, shoot. Uh, I haven't gotten very far, I think I just started the Splatoon 2 era? I don't quite remember, I haven't been reading it lately. I've been a bit busy (oddly enough). It's really good, of course, and you're definitely not nagging! Thanks for asking!   ArivakiVA   (talk) 22:58, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

Save the bytes!

Just to save bytes in talk pages (I'm very picky when it comes to saving space for just about anything), could you change it in your user settings so that it says {{User:ArivakiVA/Sig}} whenever you type "~~~~" onto talk pages? Thanks! dedf1sh07[talk] 02:14, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Dude fr it says you added like 500 bytes on my talk page and it was like a two sentence message lmfaooo Xan 02:20, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Okay, wait, what??? Sorry, I don't really know what either of you mean. Again, sorry, I'm dumb when it comes to this sort of thing..... 😅   ArivakiVA   (talk) 17:36, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

That's so weird...I'm pretty sure that's what it says..... Hold up, I'ma test something.   ArivakiVA   (talk) 17:40, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

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   (talk) 17:43, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Wait, hold on....   ArivakiVA   (talk) 17:43, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

I put my signature on my user page, and it only put in +87 bytes.... I'll check again. God this is annoying.   ArivakiVA   (talk) 17:49, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Okay, no idea whether this works...here goes. Arivaki (banter) 18:03, 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 {{SUBST:nosubst|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! dedf1sh07[talk] 19:28, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Okay, think I got it! Thanks again! Arivaki-Kun (banter) 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. :) Oddlildude (chat) 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! Arivaki (banter) 18:13, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

Ok! I’ll be on the look out for your request. Happy holidays and I hope you have a good day too Oddlildude (chat) 19:52, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

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)! Jacobearth • chit-chat 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! Hae (chat) 23:59, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know! Oddlildude (chat) 00:03, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

Yw! Have a nice day! Hae (chat) 00:12, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
