IBM Cognos Business Insight is a Web-based tool that allows you to use IBM Cognos content and external data sources to build sophisticated interactive dashboards that provide insight and facilitate collaborative decision making.

To help you get the most value from IBM Cognos Business Insight, IBM provides instructional videos that you can access through the product. Depending on feedback from you and other customers, we may choose to expand, or reduce the role of videos in future releases. By default, these videos are hosted on the Internet and might not be available; for example, your Internet access might be blocked, or the hosting server might be temporarily unavailable.

The following instructions describe the necessary steps to host the IBM Cognos Business Insight 10.1.1 How-To Videos on your own web servers.

Configuring Business Insight How-to Videos on your Web Server

Download the files.
The zip file containing the How-To Videos can be accessed from the following location:
http://ibmtvdemo.edgesuite.net/software/analytics/cognos/videos/HTVs/download/BI_HTVs_10_1_1.zip

Upload the files.
Create a folder anywhere on your server machine to host the videos. It doesn't have to be in the same hierarchy as the IBM Cognos 10 product. Any name will do, for example, e:\IBM\cognos\c10_Business_Insight_Videos.
Copy all the files and folders from the folder that contains the extracted files.
You should end up with about 9 files including "index.html" and 4 sub folders named "Audio", "image", "pdf" & "video".

Create a Virtual Directory.
Add a virtual directory to your web server. The name of the virtual directory can be anything, for example /cognos/c10_Business_Insight_Videos
Point the virtual directory to the physical directory where you uploaded the files, for example:
 /cognos/c10_Business_Insight_Videos => e:\IBM\cognos\c10_Business_Insight_Videos
Read access is sufficient.
Add FLV as a MIME type for that virtual directory. Here are the instructions for IIS.

Select the folder to configure in IIS, right click and select Properties.

Under HTTP Headers tab, select MIME Types under the MIME Map section and select New Type.

Type .flv as the associated extension and video/x-flv as the content type.

Click OK.

Configure your Colorado BI Server.
Edit the file on your server <Colorado BI location>\webcontent\icd\bux\js\bux\bux.core.js
Create a backup copy of the file.
Search for the line:
dojo.mixin(bux.Configuration,{GUIDED_TOURS_INDEX_URL:"http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/data/cognos/support/en/training/bi_rp1/index.html"});
Change the location to the virtual directory specified in step 3, for example:
dojo.mixin(bux.Configuration,{GUIDED_TOURS_INDEX_URL:"http://localhost/cognos/c10_Business_Insight_Videos/index.html"});
Save and close the file.

Test the Videos.
Start IBM Cognos Connections, and log in with your browser.
Be sure to clear the browser cache.
From the Welcome screen, open Business Insight by clicking Create my Dashboards.
On the Business Insight Welcome screen click Show all videos. The screen appears as follows:
 The list on the left is a set of categories of available How-to Videos.

Self-paced virtual classes (SPVC) combine the high quality content and hands-on lab experience of traditional classroom training with the flexibility and savings of self-paced training. You have access to everything you would get in a classroom – same high quality course materials, same hands-on lab exercises using actual IBM software – in a fully hosted, online environment.

The beauty of a self-paced virtual class is that it is available when you need it—you don't have to wait until IBM schedules the class and then juggle other commitments you might already have. Upon purchase of the class, you have access to the hosted environment for 336 hours over a 30-day period in order to complete the class. This means you can work through the material at your own place, at your convenience.

This new method of technical training is targeted at professional authors, report creators, modelers, developers, programmers and administrators. Click here to view the complete list of available courses.

Finally, self-paced virtual classes can help you stretch your training dollar as it is priced lower than traditional classroom training. And, as a special introductory offer, we'll help you save an additional 10% off an SPVC course. Just complete this short online form to receive a priority code that you can use when purchasing an SPVC course. You must enter the priority code at time of purchase.

I really did not enjoy this mascara. I was looking forward to using it and kept it in my backups drawer until I used up an old mascara, and when I finally opened it, it wasn't what I expected. The brush is big, which I like but it still doesn't seem to reach all my lashes. My lashes are blonde, so the tiniest lash that gets missed sticks out among all the mascara coated lashes.
I think I got it at Target for around $6, which isn't bad, and I don't know if the "grow" effect claims to actually grow better lashes or make your lashes appear longer and bigger with just the product on, but either claim wasn't true. I saw no difference, and if anything, this was a mascara I would save if I wanted natural lashes. But I don't want natural lashes, I want huge, voluminous, long lashes and this mascara didn't give that to me. It'll get some love as I'll pass it over to my mom, who isn't picky about mascara, but for any makeup junkies and mascara lovers, pass on this one.

I bought this product on the clearance shelf at a large major discount store. I was looking for mascara that was not falsies or too expensive. My mascara does notsay waterproof but it holds up well. I live in a humid environment and it can get muggy here. I have been using this for the past two weeks and it seems that my lashes are getting longer. I cant say for sure b/c I have a skin regime that also encompasses putting castor oil on my lashes at night and I don't wear makeup everyday giving my skin a rest. The wand is big, but taking your time will do wonders. The mascara can get clumpy but only one good application should really do the trick. I will admit I have long lashes and this product makes them pop. I would buy again. I bought the Noir Black.

I bought this mascara 3 days ago and I am not satisfied at all. The brush is way too big, and you can't apply a single coat without getting clumps all over. It is really hard to apply without making a mess . Really deceiving product, do not ever buy this mascara.

I found this product on clearance at a local drugstore, and was pretty excited to try something new. I bought the waterproof kind in 823 blackened brown. My first impression was good, I liked that the brush was very full, and that I had an easy time getting the lashes at the corners of my eyes coated. I am a redhead, so I usually buy brown mascara over black. I liked the shade and felt that it was not too dark or light. After a few hours it all went wrong. I purchased the waterproof kind for a reason, however after about 4 hours of wear, I looked in the mirror and had brown smudges all under my eyes. Being waterproof, it was really hard to wash off of my skin. In addition to smudging, it also flaked off. I wanted to like is mascara, but I was pretty let down by the quality. I have contacted Revlon about this, and after a week, I still haven't heard anything. I will not be repurchasing this product.

I use this in conjunction with ColorStay Overtime.
This gives the volume/oomph - to the Overtime's length and longwear.
Is it perfect - no by any means but then L'Oreal discontinued my HG years ago so just trying to duplicate its effect is hard.
The combo will be my go to until I can find a new HG.

For a drug store mascara, I found this a bit over priced at �10/�11. The brush is quite long, so it's hard to get right into the corner lashes. I find to build this mascara without clumps, you need to do one layer, let it dry, then do another layer. The key selling point of this mascara is growth... I haven't seen my lashes grow because of this product, and I doubt they will.
This is a mascara that will be useful to people who have thicker fuller lashes, because if your lashes are a bit sparse the brush will do nothing but over load you lashes. It's ok for now, but I won't be buying it again.
I love this mascara... I added an extra lippie! I didn't use this mascara for weeks, then thought I better finish it, so I started using it, then fell in love. All the above stands, but when I have it on (I've been using castor oil to thicken my lashes) my lashes look beautiful, full and fabulous.

ive tried many mascaras and i always come back to this one. im not sure if it helps my eyelashes grow because my eyelashes are naturally long but i feel like it helps keep them healthy. ive never had any problems with it clumping. it looks fine by itself or you can use a volumizing mascara too. overall i like it and would definitely buy it again

Clump City. It made my 5 far spread out lashes clump together (which I didn't even know was possible). The goopy formula did nothing for my lashes and the massive wand didn't help either. The price is decent but perhaps I should have tried the original with the original wand. Heck, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt but in terms of the plumping formula with the tapered wand? Don't bother. It made me look like I had two very distinct lashes on both eyes and flaked.

It makes my eyelashes really long but it easily clumps.
I still recommend it though.

The sys admin's daily grind: Backup2l
I'll Be Back
At his cozy home, sys admin Charly has always used rsnapshot to back up his data. Although things will be staying this way for server backups, he has found something more manageable for backing up the Kühnast family's desktop PCs.
Backups are inevitable, and that includes desktop PCs, even the ones at home. However, in my four walls, I do not need a professional enterprise backup warehouse, and I feel no genuine desire to pay the license fee for it. I back up everything on a small Synology NAS and the NAS, in turn, is backed up on two large USB drives.
On the NAS, I have shared a directory by the name of
linbackup; below that is a subdirectory for every machine to be backed up – a total of 14 right now. My children are obviously growing up and probably starting to hoard hardware. I really wonder who they take after. There is also a
gamelauncher directory; incidentally, this is where I back up the Windows partition.
Lately, the backup itself has been handled by backup2l [1], which I've tried out in the past few days as a lightweight alternative to rsnapshot [2]. Backup2l can be controlled by cron and creates a configurable number of incremental backups. Three parameters are responsible for this in the
backup2l.conf configuration file.
MAX_LEVEL=<3> determines the number of levels, whereas
MAX_PER_LEVEL=<8> defines the number of incremental backups per level. In my case, backup2l creates hourly incremental backups; this is the lowest level, level 3. Once it has collected eight of them (
MAX_PER_LEVEL), backup21 creates a new level 2 backup, which saves all changes since the last level 2 backup. The level 3 backups are then deleted, and the process begins again (Figure 1).
Once backup21 has collected eight level 2 backups, it creates a new level 1 backup – this is a full backup.
MAX_FULL, the third parameter, lets you specify how many full backups can exist at the same time.
Save Yourself, If You Can
I use
SRCLIST to define exactly what backup2l backs up,
SRCLIST=(/etc /root /home /var/ /usr/local)
and I can define exceptions. Backup2l distinguishes between files (
-name) and directories (
-path). Several exceptions can be linked by using
SKIPCOND=(-path "*.nobackup*" -o-name "*.o")
I use
BACKUP_DIR to tell backup2l where to save the data:
If the destination directory, as in my case, is a network drive, the user must of course ensure that it is mounted in good time. In this example,
funghi is the name of my Ubuntu test machine. All of my desktop Linux boxes are named after pizzas, and my servers are named after Scottish islands – in both worlds, there is no big risk that I will run out of names any time soon.
backup2l.conf file contains two sections,
PRE_BACKUP and
POST_BACKUP, where you can store shell commands that backup2l runs before and after performing the backup. You can use this approach to make sure that certain services are stopped during the backup.
Finally, I need to tell the tool that my part of the job is done – by flipping the
UNCONFIGURED=0 switch to
UNCONFIGURED=1. It's good to know that Funghi, Tonno (tuna), and the others are out of danger.

Saints Tabbed No. 2 in GNAC Pre-Season Coaches' Poll
The Emmanuel College men's volleyball team has landed the No. 2 ranking the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) Pre-Season Coaches' Poll. The Saints received 71 points to finish second in the conference and also received four points in the AVCA national poll for a No. 18 ranking.
Though the team fell short in its January 18th home opener against Fanshawe College, they still hold aspirations of bringing home the program's first-ever conference title. After posting a 12-2 conference mark in 2013 and advancing to the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) Championship match for the fifth time in six years, the Saints feel poised to capture Emmanuel's first men's volleyball championship this spring.
The Saints have returned 15 veterans from last year's 18-14 team, which ranked among the nation's top 15 programs for much of the year. Of the 14 losses in 2013, 12 of them came at the hands of nationally-ranked opponents and one was a hard-fought 3-1 setback to Division I Harvard University.
Among the experienced veterans are two-time All-GNAC outside hitters Zach Whitermore '15 and Ashanti Jackson '15. The two junior standouts will captain the 2014 squad along with classmate Ryan Kessler '15. Whitermore and Jackson were both 2nd Team All-GNAC picks and led the Saints in total kills and kills per set last season. The duo combined for 473 kills, 265 digs and 62 total blocks in 2013.
Coach Adam Martel is excited about his team's potential this season.
"We are looking to build on the program's success over the past several years," said the fourth-year head coach. "Returning all of our starters, except Nick (Updike '13), we are excited to fight for our first conference title and be competitive nationally once again this year."
The Saints will face Southern Vermont College on Sunday, January 26th, at 11:00 a.m., in the Jean Yawkey Center gymnasium.

Fan StudioEdit
Hi Gonzalo84,
I tried emailing you the other week in regards to an exclusive opportunity; hopefully, it'll be of interest! In conjunction with Telltale Games, Wikia will be working to create a unique experience for visitors of our Game of Thrones community, specifically the pages centered on the episodic Game of Thrones: A Telltale Game. I wanted to see if you'd be interested in joining us.
I'm contacting select fans of both the HBO series and the Telltale Tale Games series to see if they'd like to help with this initiative, and your Wikia activity identifies you as a great prospect. Participation in the project will involve sneak peeks at upcoming episodes, exclusive access to game developers, and other great perks not available to the general public. Interested? If so, the first step is to join us in the Wikia Fan Studio -- the virtual environment where our project will take place. You should've already received an invitation to register; if you haven't, please do let me know and one will be sent promptly. Even if you aren't interested in this particular project, registering with the Fan Studio will allow us to match you with other upcoming projects that could be a great fit! Remember, you're never under any obligation to participate in a project, and the info you provide is kept in accordance with our privacy policy. And please do refer any other Wikia community members you think might be a fit for this program by passing along a link to their user page. We value your opinion and want to insure the best candidates are invited into this project.
Let me know if you are interested or have any questions,

Affiliates Edit
Hi :) My name is John and I'm an admin on Mistresses Wiki.
I just started watching the show and upon visiting the wikia I saw the affiliates list. I was wondering if you'd be interesting in affiliating my wikia ? :) --Zooomi 21:30, January 27, 2015 (UTC)
Appointing new Admins for Season 5Edit

Episode 2 Mainpage ChangesEdit
This is Knakveey from Wikia's game team. I wanted to reach out to some of the active admins with a request in regards to the main page for the upcoming Telltale: GoT episode 2 that is due out soon. This is of course a request and you can decline to have any changes made, but you might find some of the suggestions helpful for the wiki.
- Would it be possible to have the latest fannotation trailers highlighted on the mainpage slider? I know it is currently under "featured media", but it would be great to have it in the slider too.
- What are your thoughts about adding a "Telltale" link under the "Episodes" tab in the nav bar? It would allow users to access articles in regards to the game more efficiently.
- We thought it would be nice to add a right rail unit that highlights the most recent game episode/game character/crucial choice, etc. This would be a new unit on the page and it would be designed by our artists here. They would make something that is slick and will not deviate from the overall look of the wiki. This design will also be sent to you before proceeding so we can make sure it's something that you like and are happy with. Alternatively, what about using the existing "Featured Article" section to highlight the current episode?
If you prefer, I can also post this on the forum/small council and repeat what I have mentioned above.
Again, you do not need to do any of these things, but it is something we think can help improve traffic to the page and increase it's reputation for being a great database for all things Game of Thrones.
Thanks for your time,
Knakveey (talk) 22:35, February 2, 2015 (UTC)
- For the main page slider I'd rather defer to my co-bureaucrats QueenBuffy and TheDragonDemands
- I would keep the bar as it is, the Telltale game is supplementary to the show and this is a wiki about the show, not the game.
- Likewise. Too much rails and links make the wiki visually cumbersome.

Histories & Lore pagequotesEdit
This has come up a few times: for historical characters, sometimes we have a great quote that "encapsulates the character" from the Histories & Lore videos, because they're more detailed. Conversely, we have times when they're at least mentioned in the main TV series, though only in passing.
Major example: Maegor Targaryen is discussed in greater detail in the Histories and Lore videos, but the most prominent time he's mentioned in the TV series is when Sansa gives the answer to Mordane that the Red Keep was built by Maegor the Cruel, back in Season 1.
A principle I've been trying to use from my library school instruction is to remember that most of our "audience" doesn't know the material as well as we do. Even the "attentive TV-first viewers", TV viewers who do pay attention, don't always watch the Histories and Lore videos. So I think the best thing to do for "historical characters" is to start with "most prominent/good quote about them in the main series" at the top of the page....though we'd then work in the "better quote about them from the Histories and Lore" into another part of the article. That is...the opening quote is "this is where you may have heard of this person or thing mentioned in the main series", a "hook" to act as a starting point. Well, see what I mean on the Maegor Targaryen article.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 04:58, February 5, 2015 (UTC)
I used the quote because I don't like dialogues so much. As for Daeron. The quote was more about the book than Daeron himself.--Gonzalo84 (talk) 15:24, February 5, 2015 (UTC)
Site merge Edit
Hi, Gonzalo84!
As the good folks here know, we have an existing Game of Thrones wikia that exists solely to document content for the Telltale game. After discussing it with the lead admin over there, a tentative agreement has been reached that would result in the merging of that site into this one. I am aware that a recent vote was cast here on how to include game information, but am also aware that the existing team here has been focused almost exclusively on the television series.
Here is the proposal - please keep in mind this is not set in stone and is certainly up for debate, as consensus needs to be reached between the two sites before anything moves forward:
- The team over there wants to focus exclusively on the game when the sites are merged which, of course, frees the team here to focus on the television series.
- It is preferable that the admin team over there be included in the leadership here; additionally, it would probably be nice to have the lead admin from over there be a bcrat here in order to have the "game team" represented.
- There should be some indication on the main page and the navigation that articles on the game exist on the wikia
- There are no plans to change the look or feel of the site here, at least in general; given that the team being merged already has a look in place for their pages, it might be best to take what they've done and tweak it so it fits with the theme of this site - this will potentially be something that would have to be sandboxed and then agreed upon, unless there's no issue (of course)
That pretty much sums things up. I would be doing the heavy lifting of import/export in order to keep all revision histories intact as much as possible. Smaller changes have to be carried over manually, as well as images and templates. The lead admin over there would likely assist with the latter. I would also be involved in every step of the merger from beginning to end and would be on-hand to answer any questions or solve any issues that might arise.
The obvious benefits of this include this team being able to focus solely on what their passion was in the first place, namely the television series. Another team completely related to their passion - the game - means the best of both worlds. Obviously there would be an increase in traffic here with the redirect alone; but then Telltale is planning a Fan Studio endeavor, which would bump traffic up even more (hopefully) and result in both teams of admins able to potentially benefit from any information from the gaming company... and who knows what else related to GoT they might reveal.
Please let me know what you think at your earliest convenience!
Best regards,

We're going to have to keep an eye out if Fansided's WiC.net plagiarizes us again in Season 5, as their quota-numbers rise and they run out of ideas.
I've already seen them outright linking to Game of Thrones Wiki....and rerunning WatchersOnTheWall.com news reports!...when it's a slow news day.
Recently, in preparation for Season 5, they made a series of refresher-posts on the "Great Houses of Westeros" -- basically compiled by making a quick read-through of AWOIAF and GoTWiki articles. What I find most offensive is...if these people actually WATCHED the show, they wouldn't NEED to rip off wikis for such basic information. Well, "rip off", at least these aren't verbatim quotes. But they have minor errors which someone actually familiar with the content wouldn't make.
Some of the things this Rowan guy did are just bizarre:
Check out the comments section (which seems to be combined for all of them). He actually mixed up that Arya *doesn't* help "liberate Harrenhal" in the TV version! Must have been reading AWOIAF's page. He then in the comments...tries to cover himself by saying that it was implied that Jaqen killed every single guard in Harrenhal, paving the way for Robb Stark's army to recapture it. Why would Jaqen kill Stark prisoners as well as Lannister guardsmen?!?!? -- they said pretty clearly that Gregor massacred what prisoners they had then withdrew.
He also claims that the "male preference inheritance laws" of Westeros mean that a younger brother inherits ahead of his older brother's daughter. No...that's how the Targaryen rules work. Even in REAL LIFE....he said that Edmure's heir would be "Catelyn's children by female preference, his uncle Brynden by male-preference"....No. That isn't what "male preference" means! Only the Targaryens did it that way, the royal succession laws.
The funniest/saddest part is when he defends some of his wacky decisions with even worse justifications in the comments.
Meanwhile....and I think this reflects much of their "casual viewer mentality"...they're just watching Game of Thrones as the "hot show of the moment" - they could just as easily have done Mad Men or The Walking Dead, but they're not even paying attention and only half-assing it because they're just paid to do it, not independent fansites.
Well, to get to the point: He refers to Joffrey as "Joffrey Lannister-Baratheon" and Tommen as "Tommen Lannister-Baratheon".
In the comments, someone pointed out that they don't use double-surnames in Westeros like that. His explanation was that he felt casual viewers would get confused, so he wrote it that way to make it more explicit....yikes. How little attention does someone have to be paying attention to need that? Why cater to the mouth-breathers who say they love "Khaleesi" but have no idea who "Daenerys" is?
BY THAT LOGIC, why not call EVERY child of Eddard and Catelyn that? "Arya Tully-Stark"? "Robb Tully-Stark", etc.?
I am unconcerned, however, in terms of competition: the morons didn't even integrate these little character profiles into their site menu! The only way you would notice them is if you read the original news post! They even have character pages (like a paragraph each) but you wouldn't notice if they didn't link to it.
Again, I am unconcerned: they're paid to do this and they're already undermanned, and they don't know as much as many TV-first fans who just pay attention. We do this because we love it.
Michael Corleone: "I saw a strange thing today. Some Cuban rebels were being arrested. One of them pulled the pin on a grenade. He took himself and the captain of the command with him. Now, soldiers are paid to fight - the rebels aren't."
Hyman Roth: "What does that tell you?"
Michael Corleone: "They could win."

Hey there! We're planning an upcoming video about Game of Thrones that we wondered if you'd consider participating in. Let us know if it's something you'd like to do, and we'll get back to you with more information. Thank you for your time! :)
MediaWiki color scheme templateEdit
Okay, I finally got onto updating the color scheme of the nav templates, had to ask XD1 for help updating the new color scheme (instead of Blue and Grey (ugh), it's now Wood Brown and Beige - both blue links and black text will show up better against this).
The Appearances/Credits templates needed to be updated by hand because unlike the others they use a grid, but that was easy enough.
Only one that might still need updating is the House information Navbox - it uses three vertical columns so it's different from the others - managed to change the title bar to Wood Brown, but I couldn't get the background to Beige without making an ugly grid pattern, so I left it neutral.
At any rate, writing to inform that the next time we ever change the entire color scheme, the way to do it is by playing with the CSS code on this page: http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Wikia.css
If we remember this, next time we won't go a couple of weeks with the old color scheme in the templates because we don't know how to change it :) --The Dragon Demands (talk) 19:57, March 12, 2015 (UTC)
Also attempted to update the Wars/Battles/Massacres/Events infobox - template page says it has changed but it isn't showing up yet on actual pages - may take a few minutes to kick in.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 20:12, March 12, 2015 (UTC)
UPDATE: I fixed the color scheme on the templates for Massacres, Events, Battles, and Wars.
One exception: I don't know why, but the title "War of the Five Kings" is not displaying on that article. the "Name=" tag does work in other war articles such as "Dance of the Dragons", I have no idea why it isn't displaying properly. --The Dragon Demands (talk) 22:26, March 12, 2015 (UTC)

Character infobox recoded to be mobile-friendly Edit
Hi Gonzalo. I'm Joe from Wikia. :)
We noticed that Template:Character was broken on the mobile skin, so I just recoded the template to look exactly the same for the desktop skin, while now being mobile-friendly.
Here is a before and after screenshot of the infobox from Varys: before, after.
Since you are the admin that's edited the template over the last couple years, I wanted to let you know about the edit I made. If you use Chrome, the one minor visual difference you'll notice is that the corners are rounded. The template's styling previously had
-moz-border-radius:10px; which only appiles to Firefox. I removed the
-moz- part so that it's now
border-radius:10px; which applies to all browsers. If you don't want the rounded corners, simply remove
border-radius:10px; from the end of the first line in edit mode.
Let me know if you have any questions, and keep up the great work! JoePlay (talk) 19:31, April 13, 2015 (UTC)

Or whatever her name is... she is actually credited as playing two separate roles in this season. A noblewoman coming up in a later episode, and the prostitute in Ep 1. QueenBuffy 02:39, April 14, 2015 (UTC)

I need you to review "Version 2.0" of my writeup of this, sooner instead of later, I don't want to put it off until the end of Season 5, but to make it our "official position" and interlink with episode and character articles as soon as the other bureaucrats give it the go-ahead.

Sansa sceneEdit
My point is that even if the writers say "well it technically might not be conceptualized as rape to them", simply showing Sansa as afraid of Ramsay (even if they never had sex as they do now) is drastically derailing the character.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 03:54, May 20, 2015 (UTC)

Hey Gonzalo :) I uploaded a better picture for Catelyn's profile because the one she has now is kinda hard to see, and a couple of months ago when I first watched GoT and before I read the books, I had a hard time recognizing the face because the picture was so low quality and dark.

Promotion and Giveaway OpportunitiesEdit
Hi Gonzalo,
I spoke with The Dragon Demands earlier this week, but he suggested I also ask for your opinion.
We are going to do a game code giveaway next week for the Telltale: Game of Thrones series. TDD said it would be cool if we switched from the 4th hub slider to the 1st for the duration of the giveaway ~6/19 and update the community message one time. Cool?
Another thing has come down the pipeline that MAY or MAY NOT actually happen, but I wanted to see if you'd be interested:
We are working with sponsors and partners to place certain content on fan communities.
This content could be, for example, trailers or behind-the-scenes videos and would live in a prominent place on all of the pages of your community. The placement is temporary (~2-4 weeks) and is only done with admin consent. This is a great way to get content that is relevant and interesting to existing fans as well as drive new fans to your Wikia community!
Here is an example of what it would look like. Its the image/banner above the slider.
Again, this isn't something we're going to do for sure, just want to know if you'd be interested.
Thanks for taking the time to get back to me,

Season 5Edit
You've been on here longer than me and been active on AWOIAF longer than I have. You recommended me for Adminship. You are senior here and I look to you for guidance now:
What are your thoughts on Season 5, specifically the final episode?
I saw Elio and Linda's video review and felt deeply upset.
I did like the Stannis/Bolton "North" storyline, even condensed...until they turned the final battle into a farce, the definition of anti-climactic.
Second...WTF that Dorne subplot? The idea was okay, sending Jaime was okay...I'm talking about severely limited screentime, badly written Sand Snakes, and badly filmed fight scenes - even badly filmed dialogue scenes.
Condensing two books into one season was madness. I'm actually usually forgiving and if this was not Benioff and Weiss's decision but forced on them due to the actor contract problems (which are now fixed)...I can forgive that. They didn't have control over that.
But as Linda said, they either 1- want to make 7 seasons so badly (because they want to leave to work on other projects?) that they knowingly compromised the material, or 2 - genuinely don't recognize that they compromised the material.
I questioned whether to even keep watching the show.
Then part of me realized that if this was the season where they combined two books into one, next season would only be about one "book" of material or so, so I might as well stick around.
These are serious problems and I now consider Season 5, while not without its moments, to be relatively below even Season 2 in overall quality.
The Dorne stuff was awful, and I think most objectively think so...largely just because it had so little time. Not even screentime, but I mean you can tell filming time: it takes time to set up camerawork for fight scenes, they didn't. It takes time to hone good dialogue for the Sand Snakes, they didn't. We know for a fact they only had one week to film in the Alcazar, and they couldn't have many extras or expansive fight scenes in it.
Dorne I think can be...maybe...partially redeemed if they suddenly write it much better next season. What he saw so far, however, was clearly the least prioritized storyline, thrown it at the last minute. Time and resources better spent on already established characters.
But Stannis...yikes. I'd even accept cutting out the Manderlys and Mormonts, the other Northern lords....but it made Stannis look pathetic, instead of a defiant 300 style charge against heavy odds...even if he lost as he did. It was the manner in which they filmed it - truly wrapped up in 2 minutes?
Why even bring so much book 6 material into a show already so condensed?
So I'm swaying back and forth; the day I saw it I thought it was irredeemable. Then the next day I said "we had bad problems in Season 2 also, but recovered". So many plotlines were condensed in "The North" (Boltons/Stannis, but also Sansa, even Brienne). This might not have been 20 episodes worth of material but it was more than 10.
So I'm really shaken and look for your more experienced opinion. What did you think of these problems with "The North" and "Dorne" storylines? Is the show overall truly that badly damaged? Do we stick with it hoping new writers take over, a Frank Darabount situation?
I don't know what the heck to think anymore. Benioff and Weiss "have some 'splaining to do" about these drastic cuts to the North/Stannis...and really, what the heck was going on with Dorne? Even in the limited physical screentime they had it could have been filmed and written better (the same story beats, I mean better dialogue).
Wow. Yet it seems everyone in the media is too excited about Jon Snow dying to notice these other major problems. I don't know.
Well I might as well finish my "to do" list which has been stacking up for over a year.--The Dragon Demands (talk)
- Truth be told the only thing I liked from the Dornish storyline is Tyene (fanservice and "bad pussy" notwithstanding). But I'm not being objective, Rosabell Laurenti Sellers is, physically speaking, "my type" of girl. Besides that I think the storyline was clumsy, forced, moronic. Nymeria was a useless caricature. Siddigh was wasted, Ellaria became a stereotype.
- As for the Northern storyline, I think Benioff and Weiss never bothered to understand Stannis. To describe him as being driven by "ambition" shows that they little to no analysis over the text. Tywin was ambitious, Stannis was driven by a zealous obsession with duty. The sacrifice of Shireen was a move by the writers to avoid hatedom from killing him.
- Truth be told the only thing I liked about this season was Arya, the High Sparrow plotline, and "Hardhome". I'm not gonna give up on the show because I'm kind of invested in it and its not like it has reached the level of suckiness of "Charmed" (which for seasons 5 and part of 6 I only watched because I enjoyed trashing the show at Television Without Pity). I do hope The Winds of Winter gets released before Season 6.--Gonzalo84 (talk) 04:41, June 18, 2015 (UTC)
Ack, I wrote this pleading when I was still wallowing in depression the week after the finale aired.
I'll still be watching, but I'm upset now. Two books in a single season? If they had no choice I forgive, but did they voluntarily do that because they wanted to "skip the boring stuff"? Or because they wanted to "match the Red Wedding" for a season climax EVERY YEAR?
I am interested in seeing Benioff and Weiss "respond" to any of this...they haven't really given any post-Season 5 in retrospect interviews yet. I believe them when they say they're too busy to come to Sand Diego Comic Con, but still. Please point out if you see any with them responding to Season 5 criticisms (the Dorne one in particular doesn't really have any logical explanations other than just rushed production and sloppiness).
I'll stick around though; if all of the book fans leave in disgust, there will be no one to "keep score" anymore, i.e. point out "Stannis's characterization is nothing like that".
While book six will not affect Season 6 - filming will end before it comes out, even if it comes out by Christmas or January - it would be fun if the book came out in say, March of next year, very publicly, so even the TV readers would quickly buy it and only realized "wow, this season deviated massively from the novel". And hey, maybe I'm wrong and they needed to condense a lot of the Stannis stuff. That is unclear. But the Dorne stuff...wow.
If nothing else we should start viewing this as a "franchise" and hold out for different writers in the Tales of Dunk and Egg prequel.
Ack, I've written on this before. There are three criticisms (Dorne, "the North", and crudely using sexual violence when they run out of ideas) but one of those - the North - has three subpoints, so it's really five:
- 1 - Dorne was just plain sloppy and rushed. Not the actual idea on paper of sending Jaime there, but pacing, camerawork, dialogue, all felt like a rough draft.
- 2 - Frequently using sexual assault as a cheap dramatic stunt. No, this is not "being true to the narrative". Just because Gregor Clegane's men rape peasant women a lot doesn't mean you make a 15 minute montage of it. The Sansa thing is a problem unto itself (not the actual assault but diminishing her character arc); but in that case, why have Gilly nearly raped? Just for cheap drama? Or having Meryn beating girls with a stick? (yes he needs to be a pedophile like Raff so Arya can get close enough to kill, but why a stick?)
- 3 - "The North" in Season 5
- 3A - Very controversial to condense Sansa Stark with Jeyne Poole. Excluding the sex assault aspect....how does this affect her character arc? It sends it in reverse. They spent so much buildup on "Dark Sansa"...why? If they knew this would have no payoff because they've been planning to condense them since Season 2? This point at least has some counterarguments (the Vale is very separate from the other plots, etc.)...but...combined with the other sex assault problems from Point 2, it turns into a bad pattern. At least they filmed it well and clearly devoted a lot of attention to trying to make it work as best as possible.
- 3B - Stannis and the Battle of Winterfell were anticlimactic. Why spend so much time building him up as the best military tactician in Westeros only to almost laughably have his army one-sided defeated off-screen? My hope is that this was a fakeout, and that Roose's absence indicates that Ramsay rushed into a needless battle and ended up losing a third of his men or something in a phyrric victory (which combined with indirectly causing Sansa's escape, and news that the Vale is invading and they needed those men, will make Roose so angry at Ramsay that it will make Ramsay kill Roose before he can disinherit him). Even moving up how Shireen dies (maybe there wasn't enough time next season), and cutting out all other Northern lords.....why treat specifically the Battle of Winterfell as so anticlimactic? To play up "the tragedy of Stannis's needless sacrifice of Shireen"? That still doesn't justify it; rather, they shouldn't have sacrificed Shireen in that case. They should have realized that whatever they were going for emotionally, instead it came off as farcical.
- 3C - Jon Snow's death. His whole storyline was good until specifically the point it intersected or should have intersected with "the North", when Ramsay Bolton sends his threatening letter. Did rewrites affect this or something? They leave Hardhome by ship in episode 8.....where is the fleet in episode 9? Why in episode 9 are they suddenly back at Castle Black, in the middle of the continent far from the coast, yet Thorne lets them in? Then...why does Thorne suddenly take part in stabbing him in the very next episode? If he wanted him dead, why let them through in the first place? This isn't even like Dorne, a low-prioritized storyline....they seem outright proud of this as THE "Red Wedding" or "Tyrion kills Tywin" cliffhanger ending of the season. Yet how little thought was put into the motivation of the men who stab him? Now this can be fixed, if they were just going for shock so they gave no details, but in the very next episode Thorne explains "we decided to kill him after Melisandre said Stannis was defeated, because it means the Boltons will eventually come for Jon, and he lost his big supporter Stannis." Not a great reason, but at least some internal logic. Yikes.
So basically those five things. The Dorne one is the most insulting though, because it isn't even a matter of condensation: just sloppy work in general.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 20:49, July 8, 2015 (UTC)
user:Hatred101 Edit
Please keep an eye out for any editors who may start verbally harassing users or admins. Hatred101 is giving us trouble, and has even harassed me on my other wiki. Please promptly block anybody who fits this behavior, with no warning. Thanks. QueenBuffy 19:34, June 17, 2015 (UTC)
War of the Five Kings RE: Wildlings Edit
Why did you remove that section? Given that there were efforts to bring them into the conflict, I think they warrant inclusion. TheUnknown285 (talk) 21:41, June 23, 2015 (UTC)
- They don't warrant inclusion...yet. Who knows what's happening in Season 6. Yes they connect eventually but....that entire page needs a major overall but it will be a while before I get to it; major task and I have others to get to first.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 22:24, June 23, 2015 (UTC)

Interlanguage Links 2.0 Edit
Hi there!
Never got an answer from him so I like to contact you in case he was busy. I like to make a cleanup for the interlanguage links and run a bot about them because we have 10 Game of Thrones Wikias and it feels like a patchwork rug because there are some interlanguage links but also sometimes not. I checked all GoT Wikias where the interlanguages Links are missing but I see that on some pages here these are blocked so only admins can edit there and my two questions would be:
1) If you can add on the mainpage of the GoT Wikia those links on the bottom of the page so that the mainpages of the GoT Wikias are linked:
[[de:]] [[ru:]] [[it:]] [[uk:]] [[pt-br: ]] [[zh:]] [[es:]] [[pl:]]
2) If you can, when the bot is running, deblock the admins-only pages just for a couple of hours so that the bot can create the links? If that's too difficult or you don't have the time can I have the permission of working on the admin-only pages? As a VSTF I have the administraton-rights, but I don't want to "break" the rules because my powers should be there only in case of spam and vandalism on Wikias.
I would like to have some feedback from your side. Cyanide3 21:52, July 3, 2015 (UTC)
Well, yeah, if the other Bureaucrats are okay with it.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 22:04, July 3, 2015 (UTC)
I'm ok with it as well.--Gonzalo84 (talk) 07:32, July 4, 2015 (UTC)
Thank you verry much! If you all agree maybe you can give this bot Weas-El-Bot the Bot rights. He's the one who will running through the Game of Thrones Wikias to link all the pages with the other Wikias. Cyanide3 10:05, July 4, 2015 (UTC)
Kingdoms and KingsEdit
User:Simpsonsfan1992 burned through here around the finale adding a lot of stuff I'm fixing now.
Among these he added some "Kingdom" pages we didn't used to have. So now we have both "Kingdom of the North" and "King in the North". We did have a "Kingdom of the Stormlands" page I made a while ago.
How are we going to handle that? Should we have two? More likely the "title" Storm King would be kept short while "Kingdom of the Stormlands" would be longer. Or, we could remove the kingdom page and just have "The Stormlands" (the subdivision of the Seven Kingdoms) and "Storm Kings". Up until now we've been treating "Dorne" as a geographical region synonymous with "Principality of Dorne". I made "Kingdom of the Stormlands" separate because the Durrandon super-kingdom ruled half of Westeros and wasn't really synonymous with their core territories anymore. I'm not sure.
Please check on this, his edits were extensive.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 21:01, July 8, 2015 (UTC)
- I think we should keep separate articles for:
- The titles (re: Storm King, King in the North/King of Winter, River Kings, King of the Isles and the Riverlands, and so on)
- The Kingdoms as political entities (the Kingdom of the North, for example, expanded from Winterfell until it encompassed the entire region we know as "the North")
- The regions
Having said that, I think Dorne should be kept as a single article for the simple reason that there is no mention of a "Principality of Dorne", just "Dorne"--Gonzalo84 (talk) 06:21, July 9, 2015 (UTC)
Hi! Im pretty new of this great wiki got page!
I'd like to know how to put links alongside my adds, for example I edited got season 6 cast, including Chapman, Turner and some others...
Some of them are confirmed by their return here ( wintersicoming.net actors in belfast)
But I didnt succeed in putting any links..
Portable Infoboxes Edit
We're reaching out to a few of the admins our top communities, hoping to get you on board with the migration to the new infobox markup. And we have tools to help!
Why we're doing this
Simply put: Most current infobox structure translates very poorly to mobile experiences, and indeed any device that doesn't use desktop-style displays. On desktops and laptops, they often look amazing. The problem is that Wikia's traffic is trending mobile.
There is an important graph from our forum post about infoboxes a couple weeks back, and I want to share it here as well:
Mobile is the future. Not just for Wikia, but for the web as a whole. Take a look at the recent trends and future growth predictions for mobile traffic - it's staggering.
We partnered with the Wikia community to create this new markup to make sure that your hard work can be displayed on mobile devices (as well as any future technologies) easily and without any new coding conventions. It'll take some effort up front, to be sure, but we're here to help, and the work you put in now will pay for itself tenfold in the future.
Tools we've designed to ease the process
We've enabled two new features on your community. One is a tool for migrating the "old" infobox code to the new markup. It identifies templates on your wikia that look like infobox templates and places a box on the right rail of the template page. When you click the "Generate draft markup" button in this box, it opens a new tab containing a draft of your infobox using the new markup.
The second is a new feature on Special:Insights that will highlight which infoboxes on your wikia have not been migrated to the new infobox markup. It's fairly intuitive - you can click on the infobox title link itself to see the old markup, or simply click the "Convert!" button on the right, which performs the same action as the "Generate draft markup" button.
This is our help page for the new markup. I'll help get things rolling by converting a template or two as an example if you'd like me to, as well as watching this post for any questions. The PK(Wall•Guestbook) 23:05, July 22, 2015 (UTC)
Arya pageEdit
Hey we're not sure what to use as a pagequote for Arya Stark.
Also I think her infobox image should be that cool Braavosi costume she had, instead of the rather banal Faceless Men acolyte robes.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 16:31, July 26, 2015 (UTC)
- I think her "I am Arya Stark and you are noone" quote is the best quote now, the death list prayer has run its course. As for her image, I agree with the "Cat of the Canals/Lanna" outfit.--Gonzalo84 (talk) 18:35, July 26, 2015 (UTC
Gender and SexualityEdit
I'm not quite done yet, but the page is very long. Please start reviewing over the Gender and Sexuality page I've been tinkering with (including the sub-page I made on "Rape"); if you don't want any parts to stay up it won't (I don't want random people who barely contribute to the wiki judging the merit of what I wrote - but I defer to your judgement).--The Dragon Demands (talk) 22:05, August 19, 2015 (UTC)
You already moved this page so I think you've read it, but please confirm via the talk page if you as a Bureaucrat support this as the "official position" etc, I should have asked you sooner: http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Breaker_of_Chains/Jaime-Cersei_sex_scene --The Dragon Demands (talk) 15:03, August 25, 2015 (UTC)
House Reed sigil Edit
Sorry this has taken me a while to get around to - I was all sigiled out for a while... anyway, it's in progress, although it's proving a bit tricky. I've got a new creation method which I'm trying out at the moment, so hopefully it will help!--Ser Patrek (talk) 09:54, September 7, 2015 (UTC)
- Its okey, take all the time you need.--Gonzalo84 (talk) 15:57, September 7, 2015 (UTC)
Jazzing up the heraldry Edit
Hey, I'm experimenting at the moment with making 3D heraldry for the wiki: Shields that actually look like shields, and have rusted iron rims, and a weathered wood grain look to them. This could eventually extend to banners that look like they're made of cloth, and maybe an actual flag pole that runs along the top of the infobox, so the banners look like they're hanging off it. What do you think? I've made an example on Roose Bolton's page if you could cast your eye over it quickly. Thanks.--Ser Patrek (talk) 13:52, September 10, 2015 (UTC)
Dance of the DragonsEdit
This requires your attention: Talk:The Dance of the Dragons, A True Telling.
Also when you get a chance check over the stuff going on with the Gender and Sexuality article.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 14:26, September 24, 2015 (UTC)
Greyjoys as Lords ParamountEdit
Hey I found a quote from the World of Ice and Fire, see discussion on "Talk:Lord Paramount".--The Dragon Demands (talk) 15:56, October 6, 2015 (UTC)
NYCC 2015Edit
--The Dragon Demands (talk) 16:41, October 20, 2015 (UTC)
TV continuity canon and dialogue errorsEdit
"Nameday" is the canon term, though actors have at times said "birthday" on-screen, these are assumed to merely be dialogue errors -- not confirmation that in-universe, "birthday" is a term they use.
Issue comes up on Talk:Rape: "Rapist" is not a term ever used in the novels (I don't think). Thus the one or two times that actors have said "Rapist" in the TV series are taken to be dialogue errors - not up for personal interpretation, but declared dialogue errors until proven otherwise. The fact that a writer and/or actor made an unintentional mistake in one or two episodes should not redefine what is canon and what is not.
Thoughts on this? I await your ruling.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 18:50, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
- We can use "raper" and "rapist" as synonims for now.--Gonzalo84 (talk) 07:35, February 13, 2016 (UTC)
- Eh, he then said he didn't really have that much of a vested interest in changing it.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 07:39, February 13, 2016 (UTC)
Hammerdown ProtocolEdit
First Season 6 trailer premieres this Sunday:
It may be time to enact the Hammerdown Protocol.
I'll need your firing key.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 03:06, February 13, 2016 (UTC)
- Oh boy, the trailer! We have to be ready to fight back vandals and lock down whatever article is targeted. Any article that suffers more than three vandal attacks should be put under level 1 lockdown: prevent new users and anons.--Gonzalo84 (talk) 07:37, February 13, 2016 (UTC)

Good for victims of smokers
3 人が、次のレビューが役に立ったと感じています
djsomaにより Aug 17, 2009 に掲載
I'm not a smoker, so I bought this because I get exposed to the smoke at work and at home (yes, unbelievable but legal). I don't understand smoking at all, cigarettes smell like shit and make you feel very ill, even second-hand smoking. So it's good they have these vitamins combined with NAC and other antioxidants. The real reason for high rating is the price! You can't really compete with it, less than 5e for the whole months vitamins, and even more, because I eat so healty I only take 1 or 2 a day, and only 3 when I've been poisoned by irresponsible smokers somewhere.

The cocktail menu at Virgil's Sea Room pays homage to our city's belovedly quirky, endlessly entertaining heroes: fashionista twins Marian and Vivian Brown, departed philanthropist and devoted banjo player Warren Hellman, drag queen Empress I Jose Sarria, perennial 12 Galaxies sign-hoister Frank Chu. But when speaking of our burg's best loved, mustn't we mention progenitors of accommodating neighborhood watering holes? If indeed we must, hoist a glass to the triple-threat owners of one of Bernal Heights' new favorite hangouts. Lexington Club owner Lila Thirkield, DJ-promoter-political dervish Tom Temprano, and former Nickie's drink slinger Gillian Fitzgerald opened their watering hole early this summer in the space that once housed karaoke dive-a-rama Nap's III. They've slapped on some nautical accents, spruced up a surprisingly roomy patio, and nurtured a relaxed, quirky ambience that raises a welcoming flag to buoy local spirits — while saluting San Francisco's rambunctious past.

Union Square Park : Michelin's recommendations
This 2.6-acre parcel was landscaped in the early 1850s and was named on the eve of the Civil War, when it hosted numerous rallies in support of the Union. Today it is the hub of the city's most popular shopping district. The slender, 97ft granite Corin-thian column in the center of the square (1901) commemorates Admiral George Dewey's 1898 defeat of Spanish naval forces in the Bay of Manila; the bronze figure of Victory-armed with wreath and trident-surmounting it was reputedly modeled on sugar magnate Adolph Spreckels' bohemian wife, Alma, founder of the Palace of the Legion of Honor. Union Square Park was recently treated to a multimillion-dollar redesign, which replaced its grassy lawns with granite, making it more hospitable to public gatherings and less hospitable to the homeless people who once gathered there. There's a half-price ticket booth here, as well as a relaxing café.

Best Place to Be a Regular (2007)
There are places around town where one visit is enough. One meal off the menu and you know everything there is to know about the place. But there are other restaurants, other menus, that reveal themselves only over time. Chama is one of those restaurants, and the menu, designed by chef Sean Yontz, is one of those menus. On the surface, it seems so simple: a Meximerican three-a-day with tacos, burritos, piloncillo-spiked French toast and entrees heavy on the chiles. But after a few visits, you begin to see the careful balance of Mexican, New Mexican and nouvelle Latino influences at play here. Somewhere around meal six, you understand that with its deep tequila and mezcal list, friendly service and multi-layered menu, Chama is a truly excellent restaurant hidden in the body of a merely mediocre one. And after that? By the time you've been to Chama half a dozen times, you qualify as a restaurant regular -- and there's no question that friends of this house are treated like best friends indeed.

Pastor Larry from SC, May 17, 2014
We bought this item in large part because of the uniqueness of the sticky notes added to the more traditional note pad. And the price was very good, as well. The ONLY qualm so far is a nit-picky one, in that the shell and pen "feel" like they're made out of recycled product - which, of course, they are. Since I'm sure that's a large part of keeping the price down, we'll take that minor difference for the value we feel we got out of it. (Will almost definitely be ordering more.)

[Happy-Tails] - Niko Machida by miu-cityWatch
Name: Niko Machida
Age: 2 years old (22 dog years) Appears 20-21 in human form
Gender: Male
Height: 62 cm dog form; 162.56 cm (5'4") human form
Breed: Belgian Malinois
Job: N/A (
Partner: this babe right here Roi ★ Kaimera-kun
Sexual orientation: asexual but a gay gay boy
Niko is pretty shy and quiet, although his behavior is often mistaken as stoic (obviously his master would know better lololol). He doesn't speak much and when he does, it's only when necessary. Because of that, he adores listening to others speak. Niko can spend hours just listening to his master. He's also a very obedient dog; he wouldn't disobey an order unless it was absolutely necessary. Trust is hard to gain; Niko doesn't trust people easily and it takes a while before he's comfortable around strangers.
Niko was living with a happy family for only a few months when both the mother and only daughter of the family had been killed in a car accident. Niko had been with them when it happened, but he was the only one to survive. The father, mad with grief, began to find fault in everything. At first he only drank away his sorrows, but slowly the man started to take his anger out on Niko. He was angry that the dog was the one to survive and not his wife and child. A few weeks after the car accident, the father began to beat Niko, blaming him for everything that had happened. Everything that Niko did wrong even if it was just an accident, resulted in a severe beating and a night in the freezer (see below). But the beatings slowly just became a source of amusement for the father, the man losing himself to alcohol and drugs. Niko lived like this for two years. One night the father threatened Niko with a knife. Niko, scared and trapped, reacted aggressively and killed the man by ripping out his throat. Niko lived with the dead body for five days before the neighbors reported the smell. After being rescued by the police, Niko was placed in the shelter, but only because he had shown little to no aggression afterwards. The shelter nurtured Niko back to health and he was placed up for adoption. A few weeks later, Roi brought him home and they have been living together happily.
Extra information: (this will be updated regularly thtbtt keep ur eyes out for dumb things)
- Niko is unable to read because of how he was raised. Roi plans to teach Niko all about reading ;u;
- Niko is insecure; he doesn't see himself as being worth anything. This is a result of his previous owner constantly telling him that he was a "worthless piece of shit"
- When Niko did something bad like (accidentally) knocking over a glass, his previous owner would drag Niko down the stairs into the basement and lock him up in an old meat freezer then chain it up, leaving him in there for hours. Because of this he's extremely claustrophobic
- Doesn't let ANYONE pick him up (other than Roi of course)
- Niko crinkles his nose when he's really happy
- Niko will literally poof into his canine form when Roi throws a ball
- Doesn't like leashes but that's okay because Niko's a good boy and follows Roi around
- Loves chewy and tuggy toys pfftftfft
- Niko likes to push his hands into his sweater sleeves because he gets cold hands easily (see drawing pfft)
- Because of his abusive past, Niko finds it very hard to trust compassionate acts because he always believes that it is a one time thing and as soon as he messes up, he's going to get beaten by his master
- When Niko does something wrong or thinks he has done something wrong, he automatically turns into his human form and starts whispering that he's "sorry" and that he "didn't mean to, master" and sometimes it gets to the point where he hyperventilates and even has a panic attack
- Extremely keen senses
- Adores sweaters
- Usually stays in dog form because he feels insecure in his human form. This is because his scars are more visible in his human form ;w;
- Gets really excited when it's meal times like REALLY excited like paws scrabbling across the wood floors excited
- Always feels like he's not going to have enough food so he always wolfs everything down when he's fed. Even to the point of being sick
- Is afraid and distrusting of strangers, won't trust people easily enough for pettings
- Loves to curl up by the door, listening for intruders. (Super protective of Roi)
- Dislikes collars, prefers harnesses
- Loves getting treats and being told he's a good boy because it reassures him that he hasn't done anything wrong and therefore he won't be abused
