Thanks for the changes but I could do with another article being written as well (for the UnSignpost) as usually two different authors write the two main articles so if you wouldn't mind writing a quick article underneath I'd much appreciate it. Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 06:10, April 9, 2013 (UTC)
Too late I've written another article myself, sorry. I just don't know how to send it to everyone who receives UnSognpost without spending ages adding it to everyone who subscribes to its talk page. Could you offer any help, please? Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 10:10, April 9, 2013 (UTC)
- No, but yes. Maybe the best thing to do is put it up as a forum in "Village Dump", and that way everyone will see it and be able to add comments as well. Thanks for doing that, and it will be nice to see. I think there was a bot that delivered it as well, but I'm not savvy on bots. Aleister 12:33 9-4-13
Thanks for the advice. I'll put it there now. Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 12:36, April 9, 2013 (UTC)
- I will read it with Eyes wide open. Al seconds later
Done it. Hope you enjoy. SPIKE liked it (which as you probably know is an achievement) but give me any feedback you have on it. I mentioned you in the editorial. Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 13:00, April 9, 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for sending it. Its great. Read comments on my talk page. Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 13:19, April 9, 2013 (UTC)
- I didn't send it. To me bots are those sticky seed things that get on my clothes and I have to pull them off with things like pliers. Aleister seconds ago
PuppyOnTheRadio sent it manually. I got confused so said thanks to both you and SPIKE for sending it. Thanks for the help with it anyway. Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 13:31, April 9, 2013 (UTC)
- Actually I did send it, and will send it again soon. Al
Ah but hang on I just thanked PuppyOnTheRadio. This is annoying now. For the official recoord I'll just thank: SPIKE (gave me advice on where to send it and how to send it), PuppyOnTheRadio (same) and Aleister (ditto). Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 13:39, April 9, 2013 (UTC)
I didn't delete your comment it was SPIKE. Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 13:37, April 9, 2013 (UTC)
- Seriously? Then he should ban himself (seriously. I've banned myself on several occasions, for being a dick a few times when nobody else banned me). Seriously? He must not have eaten his quinoa this morning (ummmmmmmm. have you ever tried quinoa? highly recommended). Red Aleiser seconds ago
Haven't a clue what quinoa is personally. Sounds nutty though. Sir ScottPat (talk) VFH UnS NotM WotM WotY 13:15, May 6, 2013 (UTC)
Confused (as always)
Puppy said that he sent me one copy. But you said you sent it. Either you're lying, Puppy's lying or both of you sent it but anyhow if you did send it did you send it out to everyone who subscribed? Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 14:03, April 9, 2013 (UTC)
- That is a quandry. Mine, of course, was lying, and Puppy telling the truth. But I may be lying there, and telling the truth when I say that a mysterious third party actually delivered them. You must trust the universe that next time you write a newsletter, it will be delivered by someone, somewhere. Trust in the lord, thy God. (Or in the "Lord Almighty"!, thy Goddess) Aleister 17:11 9-or-10-4-'13
Yes but I might have been lying. Maybe Puppy didn't tell me he'd sent it. Perhaps it was another associate. You can't trust anyone here not even God (yes I know I'm a monk (or am I?)). If I can't trust God then he won't deliver it. Or perhaps I can trust God. Perhaps I was lying. Maybe this whole rant is a lie. Maybe I should just SHUT UP!!!!! Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 17:23, April 10, 2013 (UTC)
- I read on another talk page where you are apologizing for thanking everyone, that in real life nobody delivered the unsignposts but they mysteriously showed up. This is as it should be. I, or course, take responsibility. Like Monk, you can thank me later. Al 17:27 that day
Oh I see. I am enlightened with realisation. I think I have worked out what happened (if anyone still cares).
- I made the UnSignpost.
- I didn't know how to send it out to everyone so I asked you, SPIKE and Puppy.
- You and SPIKE told me you didn't know (SPIKE then told Romartus).
- Puppy also said he didn't know but taught me how to make the template appear on a page and then gave me ONE copy.
- I then presumed this had been sent out to everyone.
- I thanked SPIKE as he is a technical guy and must have got help from Romartus.
- Then I checked the history of my page and it said the only recent edit was you. So I presumed you wrote it. I apolagised to SPIKE who by that time told me he hadn't sent it and then thanked you.
- Then I re-read Puppy's comment and realised he sent it. So I apolagised to you and thanked him. You then told me you'd sent it so I thought I mis interpreted Puppy's message and apolagised to him.
- Then you told me you hadn't sent it.
- I sent a message to everyone saying that I was confused but thanked them all just in case they sent it.
- Then SPIKE told me only I had received it.
- Then I spent a whole half-hour of my life sending it out manually to every subscriber.
Done. Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 17:39, April 10, 2013 (UTC)
Active Users
Hi, Al, just popped by to say that I've seen so many users pages (through handing out UnSignpost) that are dormant and inactive users. It seems that most people just stay for two years and then disappear. Are there still users on Uncyclopedia who've been here right from the start? Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 18:27, April 10, 2013 (UTC)
- Nope, we're all dead... Sir Mhaille (talk to me)
- Begone spirit! There, they do seem to spout ectoplasm at the most inconvenient moments. Many people stay around many years. Funnybony is here, and he's an old-timer, as are Puppy and others who you'd never suspect. They do also revisit. Some old timers are at the other site but are drowned out by the din of feature nominations. I myself have been on and off for almost four years. And this Mhaille who popped in, I've heard of him and seem to remember he's been here awhile. I like it that you asked, do you have a sense of history? Not everyone does. Al that year during its middle somewhere
Thanks but I noticed the guy who oringinally set it up isn't here anymore. Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 12:05, April 11, 2013 (UTC)
- Right, and therein is a horrible story of faith in his own creation and then he sold it! Sold it to Jimbo Wales! Pocketed his money and ran off to some beach or cabana. Chronium or something his name was, our esteemed beach-blanket father. Then uncy got to wikia and did fine for many years.....until wikia went all 1950s and plastered a content warning on the site (thus ruining its premise as a satire of wikipedia) and started to freak-out over boobs. And all because Cronium or Cranium or whatever sold his idea to The Man. If I met him I'd shake his hand for creating uncy and then punch him and run away lollollol Aleister soon
I understand how you experienced Uncyclopedians feel that Wikia ruined a few things here and there but I stil think it is a fine parody/spoof of wikipedia (even without the breasts). Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 12:40, April 11, 2013 (UTC)
PS - Saw your comment on VFD thanks for backing me up. I actually found this article quite funny. I didn't feel the same about the two clones of it below though. Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 12:47, April 11, 2013 (UTC)
- You are welcome, and I'd already used my comment on that nom on another page. As for uncy, it's a wonderful spoof of wikipedia - except when you hit on a page and come here you are faced with a boring content warning saying right off the bat that it is a "humor" site. We used to have people complain about how the pages weren't factual, and corporations would complain about how people believed the articles. With no warning notice we even had people leave factual articles here which could then be either removed or improved upon. There was and is no reason for the content warning page, imnho, and that is the backbone of the issue which split the community. Besides that, it's a great site with great people (many of my favorite uncy people, like Brother Puppy, Brother Funnybony, Brother Spike, and Brother Nobody (see UnSignpost) edit here). Yay Uncy! Al minutes later
I hadn't thought of the warning sign putting people off. We should campaign to get it removed. Do the other uncyclopedias that aren't owned by wikia still get complaint messages about people believing they're real? I ask you as I've heard (you've probably told me) that you're on another one as well. We need to get a new owner. Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 13:01, April 11, 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for placing the McDonalds Iwo Jima thing on that page. Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 13:04, April 11, 2013 (UTC)
- You're welcome. I like the pic too. And agreed - at one point wikia talked briefly about having a special category of "adult wikis" which may have been something which would have gotten the warning notice put down. I'm wondering if it started with Boone's Farm. Before some users found out that the Boone's Farm publicity people had been editing their article here because it was and is very high up on the search engine results, they made it into a puff advertising piece. Then some idiot found it, and he and another idiot wrote stupid things to get it to the state it's in now, and may have provoked the pr flacks at Boone's to complain. Or maybe it was that John Scherer thing, or Rolex. But some corporation complained and wikia went along with a warning label (at least as I understand it. I don't think the decision was ever explained, especially the moment-by-moment thinking which got us the lable so we could refute their points. I transfer my stories to the other site, and encourage its growth, but I do the same here and want to stay to try to "fix" this place. We still get 50,000 or 40,000 hits a week, so editing here with the low amount of editors roaming the halls, and with the great impact you've had on the site already, makes you a big fish in a big pond. Not bad. Al minutes later
Had a quick look on Illogicopedia (am I going to get shot or banned now?). It doesn't look as nice in terms of formating but I did see half of the people who say they subscribed to UnSignpost on it active on that site but not on this one. I should probably remind them that there is a UnSignpost waiting for them back at Uncyclopedia just to piss them off. Oh well I'm going to change that subscribers list in a months time and the editors list to list the active users who actually want the UnSignpost, which I fear is practically nobody. Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 13:22, April 11, 2013 (UTC)
- illogicopedia? Close but no cigar. And you are banned now. Personally I've read the Unsignpost since getting here, but always on someone elses talk page. So many people got it I never missed a copy. Nah, no pissing off the other site please. We here have the rep of never vandalizing or even taunting them, as we are the adult wiki. I was an adult once. Then I shook myself out of it and ate popcorn. Al the in-edit link seems to be broken
Don't worry I wasn't going to actually annoy them. Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 13:56, April 11, 2013 (UTC)
I've put two more of my articles up for VFH as my Capitalism: in grammar is just sitting there with (4/0). How many votes do you need to get an article featured? Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 16:21, April 11, 2013 (UTC)
- Have you made the correct number of sacrifices to the Great Potatoey One? -- Sir Mhaille (talk to me)
To sacrifice something am I supposed to add to the page you just gave a link to? Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 17:19, April 11, 2013 (UTC)
- No, that is not recommended. Rather, submit your sacrifices to talk pages of active users who have not voted yet and hope for the best. This is known as the time-honored tradition of VFH whoring. Usually, it was done on IRC in the past, but most active users here don't use IRC much. Etiquette is to mention that your article is on VFH and you would like a vote one way or the other, rather than trying to outright beg them to vote for (as was done on IRC in the past), also be careful of trying to do any VFH whoring on SPIKE's page, he doesn't take kindly to that. We do still have some users that went to the fork that occasionally check in here, you may be able to lure them over temporarily by VFH whoring on IRC. -- Simsilikesims(♀GUN) Talk here. 22:13, April 11, 2013 (UTC)
Thanks. I think I know about VFH whoring on SPIKE's page (past experience). I've done it on many users pages. Also Aleister another thank you from your friend who thanks everyone for voting for all my articles on VFH and the BNP one I nominated. Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 06:53, April 12, 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for voting and nominating me noob of the moment. I appreciate it a lot. Thank you also for vandalising my page I appreciate it a lot and hope that you have only added the noob of moment thing and haven't changed the rest of the page as I haven't been bothered to check that. Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 10:37, April 12, 2013 (UTC)
By the way I've put a picture up on VFP from the BNP article as I liked it a lot and I'm thinking of putting this one up on VFP. Please check the BNP one out and advise me on whether this is good enough for VFP:
It comes from my article Schlieffen Plan, which I finished yesterday. I personally don't think the article's that great but I did like this picture I did for it. I'd be grateful for some feedback thanks. Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 10:44, April 12, 2013 (UTC)
A favour
Sorry to trouble you Al but SPIKE and I are having a bit of a slight arguement over the VFH: BNP thing which you can see if you look at Spike's talk page and the comments on VFH. SPIKE is being very serious on here and I think the only reason we are arguing is that we have both misunderstood each other. If you don't mind could you read over the discussion and see if you can explain each others points to both of us as a neutral in the discussion. Don't feel obliged to do this it's just I think it may help as I'm not sure how SPIKE is taking this and I think he might think I'm trying to offend him and ban me when I'm not. Sorry to trouble you it's just that I'm a noob and I don't know how SPIKE thinks so I find it hard to put my point to him. I thought you might be more experienced as you know both SPIKE and I well. Please stay neutral or SPIKE will interpret this as a weakling calling for backup which I'm not trying to do. Thanks. Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 14:47, April 12, 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for the verdict. To be honest I didn't care that SPIKE called me a whore or the whole BNP shananigans what I cared about was that SPIKE said I'd uploaded my whole portfolio on VFH when I'd only uploaded 3/24 (now 25) articles. He accused me of trying to be an award grabber and accussed me of writing only three articles. He didn't understand that I had selected my best to be voted on. He also thought I was trying to twist him to vote no when I was trying to make him give a proper explanation as to why he voted no. It makes you feel sick to argue with SPIKE when he doesn't believe you're being polite and honest but never mind we're back to being acquantinces now. You didn't tell me whether the picture was the sort of thing they wanted on VFP though, you only told me you were fascinated the Nazis invaded Greece which I'm glad to hear. Thanks. Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 19:57, April 12, 2013 (UTC)
- You're very welcome, and thanks. The nazi pic doesn't seem VFP material to me, it's an old pic with an interesting phrase superimposed. I don't photoshop, so what's funny to me is just from the experience of seeing feature pics here (which are a bother because they can't be categorized once they've become a feature), and then they are recycled over and over again for the main page. My teacher said, and I don't always remember this, that when someone says you did something, take responsibility. So if you are accused of being an award grabber, grab some awards! As I said once, Spike was happy getting 14 or so of the same award every month, and he earned it, but his point was to be happy with polishing and working on stuff. It took me almost four months to get my first feature here. Two months for my first "award" (noob of the month). It's fun to get some, but it was more fun playing on talk pages. One of my biggest thrills here was when a user told me, before I had a feature, that I'd probably win writer of the month at some point, and that was really a compliment and felt better than when, or if, I actually won the award. ---- As for Spike not explaining, he certainly doesn't have to explain a no vote. Although nowadays one 'no' vote can sink a nomination, and all of us should be aware of that and vote "no" when you want the page to fail and not only that you 'think' the page should fail. ---- Have you seen Oliver Stone's newer series on Showtime 'The Untold History of the United States'? It's really good. Reason I'm bringing it up is that in one episode he gives the reasons why Greece was screwed even after the nazis left, because Britain still wanted it in its sphere of influence and Stalin was going along with that. This gets long, more soon. Al 10:13 13-13-13
Thanks for the advice Al. I had been taught at school that the Greek Civil War helped bring on the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan and was a very early Capitalist victory in the Cold War. Being a British Monarchists I think the right side won the war. (Right - get it. No I don't either). Anyway I thought that the picture might not be the sort of thing they wanted so consulted you. I won't put it up then. Thanks. Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 12:30, April 14, 2013 (UTC)
I see you've just logged on....
...pity I'm just logging off. Just done some work on my EU and Remi Gaillard articles. Bye. Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 20:23, April 17, 2013 (UTC)
- When I saw you had logged on I hurried to log off, but now that you're logging off I'm logged back on. If you log on again, let me know, and I will log off. Al seconds later
I've logged on. Oh, that's funny where are you? Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 05:23, April 18, 2013 (UTC)
- /comes up through a hole cut in the bottom of the page. looks around. grabs something from a shelf. ducks head back in./ Al 1:32 19-4-'13
Reads the script above. Checks in the hole finds a grue and runs away. Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 05:25, April 19, 2013 (UTC)
UnNews Article
Hi Aleister, I've made this UnNews article but sort of ran out of humour ideas so I'm not sure it is that funny. If you can spare a minute, could you please have a look at it and edit it to make it funnier if you want to, suggest improvements to be made or tell me that it is so bad that the article is a dud? Thanks. Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 16:23, April 20, 2013 (UTC)
Forget it, the article is awful. Worst one I've ever made but I'll keep it up just in case anyone wants to improve it. Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 05:40, April 25, 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for voting on VFH. If there is anyway I can repay you for your kindness then please ask/tell me. Thanks. Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 05:41, April 25, 2013 (UTC)
- Money. Lots of it (small bills please). That'll do it. Aleister and women. Lots of them. Small bills please.
I got my first feature today thanks to you and seven others. So thank you for voting for Capitalism: in grammar Al. Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 15:40, April 27, 2013 (UTC)
PS - Does the VFG page still operate. It doesn't look changed since 2011. Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 15:47, April 27, 2013 (UTC)
- No need to thank me, you are a good writer who keeps improving, someone who's getting the UnStyle here and learning from advice (SPIKE is a very good teacher). And, in my estimation, most if not almost-all of the pages you put up are or will be feature-worthy, and the ones which don't make it in the first try can be polished for months. You're welcome too. First features are really fun. Al 22:42 27-4-'13
Thank you however there were the first three pages I made on my first day here (BP oil spill, Panzer divisions of WW2 and Other War of 1812) when I hadn't really read the how to be funny and thought that random humour was appropriate. Maybe I can touch them up to make them better. Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 06:00, April 28, 2013 (UTC)
- I don't mean we actually have a style, but I think all of us learn by reading other pages and sensing more or what is kicked around in the dust here - like lists and Oscar Wilde quotes and random, which all fall by the side of the road after awhile. Nothing wrong with going back on older pages and improving them. Even if it's just a word, or a link, or removing a little. I'm surprised it's your first feature, I thought you had a few. We really have to have a discussion about featuring here, some of the main people working on the site seldom vote on the feature page. Last time I voted on it was 2011. Aleister lots of money would have been better
Well Spike is quite busy and runs UnNews and stuff but does his best to vote. I've noticed no one has gone on Noob of the month since I voted. Maybe once the split (fork) is a long time away in the past we'll have the noobs of today as experienced users and it will all be back to normal. Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 12:23, April 28, 2013 (UTC)
- No, I ran UnNews in 2011; all I "run" now is VFD.
- There is not so much a fashion, that comes and goes, to writing an article but learning more about what we consider funny, what the general reader would consider funny, and (in the case of lists and Wildeisms and Randumbo) what is a magnet for Anons who are not funny at all. But by all means keep applying your current understanding of humor to articles you wrote when you didn't have it! Spıke Ѧ 12:29 28-Apr-13
- "Humour"... -- Sir Mhaille (talk to me)
- Hush! we mostly have him writing like an American (except for the format of dates). Spıke Ѧ 14:38 29-Apr-13
I am in no way writing like an American. I walk (not hike) down a pavement (not a sidewalk), I colour (not color) and do labour (not labor) at the harbour (not harbor) to protect my honour (not honor). i travel by aeroplane (not airplane). I am civilised (not Americanized), I was burgled (not burglerized) and I call my dictatorial leader a Monarch (not president). Thank you, SIR! Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 16:01, April 29, 2013 (UTC)
PS - And while I'm at it: a strong metal is called Aluminium (not Aluminum). Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 16:02, April 29, 2013 (UTC)
Yep the usually situation in which Spike fails to recognise a jokey bit of banter. Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 17:35, April 29, 2013 (UTC)
- I recognize it well; and was contributing, with a notorious malapropism from U.S. President Harding (Brits retain the word "normality"). Spıke Ѧ 17:56 29-Apr-13
Yes one realised one's foul language when one saw it. Oh, why did God (yes I know I'm an athiest but that's basically Church of England where I come from) invent such a language. Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 18:00, April 29, 2013 (UTC)
I would like to deeply apolagise to you Aleister for us messing your talk page up with the above discussion and realise that I am probably making worse by writing even more. I presume you are American (not sure though) because of your spelling of words and want to make it quite clear that I respect Americans and they are nice people and that anything I have said on your talk page or others about Americans is just jokey banter. Anyway thanks for letting us continue a discussion on your page which did not involve you and bye. Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 20:14, April 29, 2013 (UTC)
- No problem, and no need to appleolozize (that's how we spell it here in the Falklands) Al "We shall be free" the next day
I'm not sure I'm going to fall for the old Falkland Islander trick because it happily fits in with a US time zone and you are wrong (you probably deliberately are winding me up actually) if you think that Falkland Islanders speak and spell in an American accent/American-English. Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 15:59, April 30, 2013 (UTC)
I am afraid I can't trust you there. I will not decide whether he is from the Falklands or from
Argentina the USA I will simply say he could plausibly be from either however strong evidence leads me to lean more in favour of him being from the US. Perhaps he meant to say North Pole and that he lives in Alaska and so being relatively near the North Pole and therefore can switch time zones and even days relatively easily. Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH (talk) 16:25, April 30, 2013 (UTC)
- Technically he could be an American living at the Amundsen–Scott South Polar Research Station... -- Sir Mhaille (talk to me)
Fair enough Mhaille and he writes his dates
properly the British way but then so does Spike and he's a Yank so who knows. Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH and Bar (talk) 18:15 4, May 2016

Can you actually speak Antarctican? (Just wondering) Sir ScottPat UnS CUN VFH and Bar (talk) 18:15 4, May 2016

Forum:Content warning, round 3
Are you going to propose a whole new content warning? Thanks. Sir ScottPat (talk) VFH UnS NotM WotM WotY 15:00, May 8, 2013 (UTC)
- Sure, why not. That's a good idea. I'll put up a quick forum now, write a little on the subject, and then go chow down some fine lentils and rice. Al seventeen minutes later, as I came to check uncy once more.
Thanks Al. Remember to base it on what we discussed in the forum. Then we can all vote on it and, fingers crossed, get it passed. Sir ScottPat (talk) VFH UnS NotM WotM WotY 15:22, May 8, 2013 (UTC)
- OK, the only thing I added from the forum discussion was a specific picture. Change that if you wish. thanks. Al, minutes later, now for the dish!
I think we need to add to the writing. Give a subtle explanation like: Some of this encyclopedia's content is unsuitable for children. Sir ScottPat (talk) VFH UnS NotM WotM WotY 15:38, May 8, 2013 (UTC)
- Did some edits per your idea, and linked the picture. What do you think? And can you imagine the "Enter" button laying across the lawn on its left!!!! That would look fantastic. Al 17:15 that day
Great. We are a serious website that has to include (unfortunately) some unsuitable things but only because we strive to be an encyclopedia of everything. That's the message we are going to be putting across now. Sir ScottPat (talk) VFH UnS NotM WotM WotY 17:30, May 8, 2013 (UTC)
- Unsuitable? My dear colleague, what do you mean? And I will change the intro to the vote to reflect that we've collabed on this. Yay! (I actually think this might work). Al minutes later
Great work! Sir ScottPat (talk) VFH UnS NotM WotM WotY 18:00, May 8, 2013 (UTC)
HowTo:Walk on Saturn without falling over
Al you mentioned that this article needs polishing on VFH and then it will be there. I have touched it up a bit recently with a bit of Spike's help. Does it require any other improvements and if so please could you specify? Thanks. Sir ScottPat (talk) VFH UnS NotM WotM WotY 19:18, May 14, 2013 (UTC)
PS - Any more news on the content warning? Sir ScottPat (talk) VFH UnS NotM WotM WotY 19:18, May 14, 2013 (UTC)
- Good, I will read it before the week is out. Probably sooner. Ah, the content warning. It seems to be doing quite well in the vote, and maybe we should ask Funnybony and others what they think. It's an idea which needs to simmer as we await Wikia's answer to Spike, who asked them to remove the content warning entirely. He is a hero of the barricades. Al 17:55 15-5-'13
I just wanted to make sure we're all in on it seriously because I don't want this saga just to be forgotten and the content warning left unchanged like the last two sagas. Thanks Sir ScottPat (talk) VFH UnS NotM WotM WotY 18:42, May 15, 2013 (UTC)
- It's kind of lost at the bottom of the forum, maybe we should move the votes over to another forum. What do you think? It seems that the idea is a good one, and just needs more people to comment and vote. Maybe we should ask Spike if he's had any nibble on his overture to wikia about removing the thing entirely. You have the best interests of the site at heart, which is nice, since then we know you have a heart and are not, for lack of a better word for not having a heart, "heartless". Al 12:15 16-5-'13
I think we should ask Spike whether Wikia replied (he'll probably read this and post a reply below (fingers crossed)). I think that moving the silly comments off that page onto another forum would be good because people may think of this as a joke forum which it shouldn't be. Sir ScottPat (talk) VFH UnS NotM WotM WotY 13:14, May 16, 2013 (UTC)
PS - Thanks for voting for Emu War and the Saturn HowTo. VFH has so many articles reaching 6 or seven votes I think we should up the frequency of features to a feature every two days as enough people nominate and vote regularly for this to happen. Sir ScottPat (talk) VFH UnS NotM WotM WotY 13:16, May 16, 2013 (UTC)
- I have consistently opposed a Content Warning--and have consistently viewed it as not justifying leaving the site, nor taken it as proof that the desires of the creative department should override those of Legal and Community Relations. My recent argument against it to Sannse was one of four different topics in the same email, and I have no evidence that the Wikia Board of Directors has convened to consider it. This morning, in fact, I emailed her on the completely different topic of throttling down anonymous edits to make future attacks less alluring to last night's vandal. The previous vote--on deopping the renegade Admins--is also languishing, despite Sannse's assurance that this is a decision we can make for ourselves. Spıke Ѧ 13:31 16-May-13
Bit confused. So basically there's no reply from the email and you're taking that to be a no? However as far as I'm aware the users of this site are allowed to change what it says, so the democratic vote can continue. Thanks Spike. Sir ScottPat (talk) VFH UnS NotM WotM WotY 13:34, May 16, 2013 (UTC)
- I saw the vandal's damage after it had been cleaned up. Spike, I hope you came up with a way to end those vandal sessions. On the content warning, and the ongoing votes, at least two of us and maybe more think it's both an improvement and a possible solution. If we have to have a warning, this may be the one that we all can agree on. Spike, please let us know what's wrong with it in your opinion, if anything. Thanks. As for some of the admins, where is that vote again? I thought that we were giving the admins a month or so to log on and be productive, and people like Mhaille and Frosty have done so. I forget, did the vote have a list of names or a criteria (the month thing?). Please give a link to it again. Can we deop Sannse? Aleister 16:00 16-5-'13
Do you mind explaining the admin month productivity thing because I haven't a clue what you're on about (probably decided before I came to this site). Thanks Sir ScottPat (talk) VFH UnS NotM WotM WotY 16:09, May 16, 2013 (UTC)
God knows where you've been we're all worried about you! (well you've probably been on holiday and had a life in the real world) Anyway PLS is back you can submit an article beginning on 11th June. Just thought I'd let you know. Thanks. Sir ScottPat (talk) VFH UnS NotM WotM WotY 18:53, June 2, 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks. My computer was whacked out for over a week, and just got back online today. Good to see your "Boxes" as the first article when I logged on. As for logging on, I must look at the forum about the content warning, when I last looked it was 6-0 for the new one. The PLS, I dunno, I'll check it out. Aleister 19:40 3-6-'13
Comments on Denza's (or Dragon Slayer's) talk page
I see you haven't checked my user page where I explain the meaning of my user name (no big deal really!) and more importantly show my nice shiny noob of the month award off to passers by that according to you I haven't received yet. I just thought I'd let you know. Thanks. Sir ScottPat (talk) VFH UnS NotM WotM WotY 20:19, June 3, 2013 (UTC)
Also thanks for voting for me on writer of the month. I know I don't deserve it but that doesn't mean I won't get it. WAHAHAHAHA!! Sir ScottPat (talk) VFH UnS NotM WotM WotY 20:28, June 3, 2013 (UTC)
- Why is my name everywhere now? Anyways, its actually Zaramoth who I've slain (not yet, still gotta get DSII: Broken World to do that) and meh, I'll vote someone for writer of the month. Also, I think the running nickname for me, aside from Denza, is DSA510. So yeah. Also, someone turn down the uncyclopedia thermostat, its getting pretty hot here. Anyways, I'll be on my way. *Denza picks up his swords and leaves the talk page for now --The Slayer of Zaramoth DungeonSiegeAddict510 20:51, June 7, 2013 (UTC)
- Denza DunSat, good to meet you once again in the open field, away from the villages and amongst the woodland creatures. Aye and ayek, slay the god Zaramoth (is he an actual moth?) in his blood feast, when not even owls will chase the hares. Your name is everywhere becayus thy legend preceeds ye. Aleister 23:43 7-6-'13

Hey up
FunnyBony seems to like the idea of cutting the prologue and feeding those bits in as flash-back chunks. so, please ignore that part.
I just felt the need to write US National Debt - a subject i know nothing about. I'm not sure what's happened to me. --Sog1970 (talk) 19:14, August 20, 2013 (UTC)

John Kerry
Thanks for your vote on VFH. I've looked up Skull & Bones on Wikipedia and there are slim comedy pickings. (That must be what you get with a Secret Society. Or perhaps it wields secret control over Wikipedia as well.) I believe that virtually all of the conspiracies affecting the US Government are in plain view; likewise most of the hilarious aspects of John Kerry. Red links, such as Bob Dole, I am told are legitimate statements that we are missing a page and someone ought to write it, but your edit was helpful. Spıke Ѧ 19:21 19-Sep-13
- Thanks, it was a good article and deserves featurdom and featurhood. John Kerry has nine political lives, an%d I think he's happy as Secretary of State. Fitting his image of himself and all. He's probably angling to be Vice President next time around (Clinton/Kerry That feels like a ticket with about a 56% electoral vote win, and would likely beat Christie in New Jersey. Nice work, and the red link "fix" came itself with that great feature we have of typing in a name and it shows you articles with that name right on the edit page. Now, off to kick around Jed Clampett for a few minutes. Aleister 21:45 20-9
Mohandas Gandhi
I have cleaned up the article on Nathuram Godse, which you might subtly mention in the Death section of your article. (I don't know if it merits inclusion in your Category:Civil Rights Movement to have tried to singlehandedly snuff it out.) Spıke Ѧ 17:56 25-Sep-13
- Alrighty, then, or soon. You made Godse (short for Goose Gossage, or Goose Goslin, or Garfield Goose, or someone) seem like an odd piece of work, which he was. Aleister 25-9
Your ban...
...is the second most retarded ban in the history of admins being devastatingly stupid. The most retarded ban was zombie blocking funnybody for thanking him for a vote on his article. This ban of yours...is an extremely close second in the field of foolish zelotry. Luckily...you usually don't give a shit about dickery and meaness and pointless arrogant condescending bitch-smacking. That something I utterly love about you. --ShabiDOO 04:17, October 5, 2013 (UTC)
Main Page cover
Thanks for the praise on the spoof Government shut down message. As I said on the forum, the idea came from when I looked at the NASA page and was confronted with the Government apology. Of course Spike deserves the credit for writing up the spoof message so beautifully. Sir ScottPat (talk) VFH UnS NotM WotM WotY 16:13, October 10, 2013 (UTC)
- Spoof? Aleister later that same year
- The reskin of the content warning to mimick the US Government apology of the US Federal Government shutting down. You apraised it on Romartus' talk page remember? Sir ScottPat (talk) VFH UnS NotM WotM WotY 19:03, October 11, 2013 (UTC)
- A Wikipedian has just deleted the sentence at WP:Uncyclopedia that we no longer use a Content Warning, insisting that he saw one this week. I reverted with an explanation that it was a spoof. Credulous world! I just sent mail to Sannse suggesting that the joke has run its course as there are hugs & kisses in Washington today. Spıke Ѧ 19:08 11-Oct-13
- Are you saying that the "closure" of Uncyclopedia is what got Obama and Boehner together??? Spıke Ѧ 19:16 11-Oct-13
- And with just a little additional coding, we could become the only website in America capable of registering citizens for Obama-care. Spıke Ѧ 19:45 11-Oct-13
- True - although perhaps you should see John Green's Vlogbrother's video on YT on Obama Care. His summary was that it may take multiple tries and half-an-hour of your time to get onto Obama Care but it was a lot shorter a process than privitised healthcare log on systems. Besides having public, "free" healthcare means less time wasted paying the ambulance and the hospital when you have just had an operation and aren't feeling that good. Sir ScottPat (talk) VFH UnS NotM WotM WotY 21:12, October 11, 2013 (UTC)
- That could be an interesting article, a "Pre-Obamacare sign up page, just to practice, you know?" that's directed to from the front page fake content warning (isn't it great we can now decide when to put up a satiric content warning! Then that page would ask girls how big their boobs are, what positions they like, tell us your secret childhood trauma in 200 words or less, etc etc. Asking people to divulge their political preferences, favorite childhood toy, and secret fantasy life to the good folks at Obamacare.

- ?? I didn't even know it was going anywhere, we've had a pretty good lineup of features lately. Things seem to be going well here. Aleister minutes later
- There are articles sitting there with scores of 5s not with scores of 10s. They don't have any against votes but not enough for votes. That is the problem here. People need to vote one way or another and not not at all. Sir ScottPat (talk) VFH UnS NotM WotM WotY 16:02, October 23, 2013 (UTC)
- I guess I trust the admins to know the best articles with 5 or 6 votes and feature them. My Oz is seriously one of my pretty good pages, at least after lots of editing, and I'd feature it if it were written by O.J. Simpson (which it partly was). On the other site I've got an obscene 80 features (ah, and hmmmmm, I should list those in "black" features-print on my userpage, while the features here are in red). But as long as we keep featuring new pages, and they are good enough to be considered features, we iz well and thriving. Aleister later gator

Pruritus (PDQ®): Supportive care - Patient Information [NCI]
This information is produced and provided by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The information in this topic may have changed since it was written. For the most current information, contact the National Cancer Institute via the Internet web site at http://cancer.gov or call 1-800-4-CANCER.
This patient summary on pruritus is adapted from a summary written for health professionals by cancer experts. This and other credible information about cancer treatment, screening, prevention, supportive care, and ongoing clinical trials is available from the National Cancer Institute. Pruritus (itching) is a side effect of some cancer therapies and may be a symptom of some types of cancers. This brief summary describes pruritus, its causes and treatment.
This summary is about pruritus in adults with cancer.
Pruritus is an itching sensation that triggers the desire to scratch. It is a distressing symptom that can cause discomfort. Scratching may cause breaks in the skin that may result in infection. Pruritus can be related to anything from dry skin to undiagnosed cancer. It can occur in people who have cancer or in those who have received cancer treatment.
Risk Factors
Pruritus may occur in some people with cancer but not in others. However, the following persons with cancer may be at a higher risk for developing pruritus:
- Persons with various malignant diseases that are known to produce symptoms of pruritus, including, but not limited to AIDS -related Kaposi sarcoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and other lymphomas, leukemias, adenocarcinomas, and cancer of the stomach, pancreas, lung, colon, brain, breast, and prostate. Pruritus tends to disappear when cancer is cured or in remission. It may reappear when the disease recurs.
- Persons who have had chemotherapy. Usually the itching subsides within 30-90 minutes and does not require treatment. The development of pruritus may be a sign that the patient is especially sensitive to the chemotherapy drug.
- Persons who have had radiation therapy. Radiation can kill skin cells and cause burning and itching. As the skin peels off, scratching can damage it further, which creates the potential for infection. Treatment may need to be interrupted to allow the skin time to heal.
- Persons who have had radiation therapy plus chemotherapy. The combined effects of these drugs can cause an increased skin reaction.
- Persons who have had biological response modifier therapy (a treatment to try to improve the body's natural immune response to disease).
- Persons who have had bone marrow transplantation. Patients may experience changes in skin condition that include dryness, itching, and rashes.
Drugs given at any time during cancer treatment may cause pruritus. Itching may be caused by sensitivity to the drug, or the drug may interfere with normal nerve function.
Pruritus can be a symptom of infection. The infection may or may not be related to cancer treatment. Infections involving itching may be caused by a tumor, fungus, discharge from a wound, or drainage after surgery.
Pruritus is a symptom, not a diagnosis or disease. If you feel itching, let your doctor know. The doctor will ask for your medical history and give you a thorough physical examination. This assessment will enable the doctor to discover the problem that is causing the itching and find the best treatment for it.
Maintaining healthy skin may relieve pruritus. Good skin care includes adequate nutrition and daily fluid intake, protection from the environment, and cleansing practices that don't dry the skin.
Some specific factors that may relieve itching are the following:
- Moisturizing creams and lotions. These water-containing products form films over the skin surface and encourage the production of moisture beneath the film. This prevents dryness, which can cause itching. These products should be carefully chosen for each person's needs. Some ingredients, such as petrolatum, lanolin, and mineral oil can cause allergic reactions in some people.
- Powders, bubble baths, and cornstarch. These products should be used with caution because they can irritate the skin and cause itching. Cornstarch is an effective treatment for itching that is associated with dry skin due to radiation therapy but should not be applied to moist surfaces, to areas with hair, sweat glands, skin folds, or to areas close to mucosal surfaces, such as the vagina or rectum. When cornstarch becomes moist, it can promote fungal growth. Some powders, such as those that contain talcum and aluminum, can cause skin irritation during radiation therapy and should be avoided when you are receiving radiation treatment. Alcohol or menthol, which are found in some creams and over-the-counter lotions, may also produce skin reactions. Topical steroid creams may reduce itching but may cause thinning of the skin and can make it more prone to injury.
- Tepid baths. Baths that are moderately warm and last no longer than one half hour every day or every two days can help relieve itching. Frequent bathing can aggravate dry skin, and hot baths can promote itching.
- Mild soaps. Mild soaps contain less soap or detergent that can irritate skin. Oil can be added to the water at the end of a bath or applied to the skin before drying.
- A cool humid environment. Heat can cause itching. Your skin loses moisture when the humidity is low. A cool, humid environment may prevent your skin from itching.
- Removal of detergent residue. Residue left on clothing by detergent and fabric softeners may aggravate pruritus. The irritation can be reduced by adding vinegar (one teaspoon per quart of water) to the laundry rinse cycle or by using a mild laundry soap that is sold for washing baby clothes.
- Cotton clothing and bed sheets. Body heat, wool, and some synthetic fabrics can aggravate itching. It may be helpful to wear loose-fitting, lightweight cotton clothing and to use cotton bed sheets.
In addition to the skin-care factors, medications applied to the skin or taken by mouth may be necessary to treat pruritus. Antibiotics may relieve itching caused by infection. Antihistamines may be useful in some cases of pruritus. Sedatives, tranquilizers, and antidepressants may be useful treatments. Aspirin seems to have reduced itching in some patients but increases it for others. Aspirin combined with cimetidine may be effective for patients with Hodgkin lymphoma or polycythemia vera.
Interrupting the itch-scratch-itch cycle, an increase in itching that can result from the process of scratching, may also help to alleviate pruritus. The cycle may be broken by applying a cool washcloth or ice over the affected area. Rubbing the skin and applying pressure or vibration to the skin may also help. Other methods that may be useful in relieving symptoms include distraction, music therapy, relaxation, and imagery techniques.

About PDQ
PDQ is a comprehensive cancer database available on NCI's Web site.
PDQ is the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) comprehensive cancer information database. Most of the information contained in PDQ is available online at NCI's Web site. PDQ is provided as a service of the NCI. The NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health, the federal government's focal point for biomedical research.
PDQ contains cancer information summaries.
The PDQ database contains summaries of the latest published information on cancer prevention, detection, genetics, treatment, supportive care, and complementary and alternative medicine. Most summaries are available in two versions. The health professional versions provide detailed information written in technical language. The patient versions are written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language. Both versions provide current and accurate cancer information.
Images in the PDQ summaries are used with permission of the author(s), artist, and/or publisher for use within the PDQ summaries only. Permission to use images outside the context of PDQ information must be obtained from the owner(s) and cannot be granted by the National Cancer Institute. Information about using the illustrations in the PDQ summaries, along with many other cancer-related images, are available in Visuals Online, a collection of over 2,000 scientific images.
The PDQ cancer information summaries are developed by cancer experts and reviewed regularly.
Editorial Boards made up of experts in oncology and related specialties are responsible for writing and maintaining the cancer information summaries. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made as new information becomes available. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") indicates the time of the most recent change.
PDQ also contains information on clinical trials.
A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one method of treating symptoms is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. Some patients have symptoms caused by cancer treatment or by the cancer itself. During supportive care clinical trials, information is collected about how well new ways to treat symptoms of cancer work. The trials also study side effects of treatment and problems that come up during or after treatment. If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become "standard." Patients who have symptoms related to cancer treatment may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial.
Listings of clinical trials are included in PDQ and are available online at NCI's Web site. Descriptions of the trials are available in health professional and patient versions.

Medical Treatment for Obesity
Medical treatment overview
You may need to see your healthcare provider for help in losing weight if your own effortsĀhave failed or if you have other medical conditions that make it crucial for you toĀlose weight. You may need to take prescription medicine if you haveĀobesity-related health problems. Many people take over-the-counter or alternative medicineĀsupplements in an attempt to lose weight. But to keep the weight off for the long term, you'll need to change your unhealthyĀhabits and eating patterns. Behavior change focuses onĀunhealthy dietary habits. It also addsĀphysical activity into your daily life. Obesity-related eating disorders need to beĀtreated by a therapist, and may also need medicine.
Your healthcare provider will figure out the best treatment for you, based on:
Your age, overall health, physical abilities,Āand medical history
Past efforts to lose weight
How overweight you are
Your tolerance for specific medicines, procedures, or therapies
Your expectations for the course of the condition
Your opinion or preference
Types of medical treatment for obesity
Prescription medicines
The most commonly prescribed medicines workĀby either blocking how fat is absorbed orĀby creating a feeling of fullness. One of the most commonly prescribed medicines isĀorlistat.
Orlistat blocks aboutĀ30% of the fat you eat as food travels through your digestive system. This medicine may cause frequent, oily bowel movements. But if you cut back on the amount of fat you eat,Āsymptoms often get better. Once you stop taking this medicine, you may regain some orĀmost of the weight you lost unless you make other changes to yourĀdiet and physical activity. Orlistat may not work for everyone, and it often has unpleasant side effects.Ā
Another medicine, sibutramine, was taken offĀthe market by its makers in October 2010 after the FDA found that the medicine might raise the risk forĀheart attack.
Another medicine is locaserin. It boosts theĀamount ofĀserotonin in the brain to reduce your appetite. A combination medicine, phentermine-topiramate, also works to reduce appetite.
Rarely, other prescription medicines are used on a short-term basis only. Amphetamines are not recommended because of the risk for addiction and substance abuse.
Always talk with your healthcare provider before taking any weight-loss drugs.
Many over-the-counter supplements promise to help burn fat faster or reduce hunger. Some supplements have side effects that can be dangerous. A number of these products (perhaps most) have neverĀbeen studied in clinical trials, so many of the side effects, benefits, and risks aren't well documented. If the claim of the maker sounds almost impossible, it probably is. (For example, "Burn fat at night while you sleep!")Ā
Ephedra (ma-huang) contains an ingredient used in asthma medicine. Dietary supplements containing ephedra have been banned by the FDA because of potentially dangerous side effects.
Products that work as a laxative can cause theĀpotassium level in your blood to drop. This may cause heart and/or muscle problems. Pyruvate is a popular product that may result in a small amount of weight loss. But taking more pyruvate, which is found in red apples, cheese, and red wine, hasn't been thoroughly studied. Its weight loss potential hasn't been scientifically established.
No supplement that can take the place of eating a healthy diet, but a multivitamin taken every day can help close the nutritional gap even for those people who eat a balanced diet. But vitamin supplements won't help you lose weight.
Always talk withĀyour healthcare provider before taking these supplements, because they can cause a number of side effects.
Behavior change
Over the long term, most obese adults who lose weight may regain it if they don't changeĀtheir approach to healthy eating. You can change your behavior in several ways. One way is to keep a food journal. In it,Āyou keep track of what you ate, where you ate it, and when you got hungry.ĀYou can also keep an activity journal, tracking when you exercised and for how long.ĀThese journals can help you figure out your eating and activity habits, so you can then determine what to change.
A counselor or psychologist may be helpful withĀbehavior modification techniques. These techniques can help you change yourĀthinking about body image. A reward system that doesn't include food can help you stay on trackĀtoward your weight-loss goals. Other behavioral ideas includeĀserving food from the stove rather than family style, and never watching TV, reading, or doing another activity while eating. You can also keep portion sizes small, use smallerĀplates,Ādrink water with each meal, and set specific weight-loss goals.
Psychotherapy for eating disorders
Eating a large amount of food at one time doesn't necessarily make a person a binge eater. Everyone overindulges from time to time. But some obese peopleĀbinge and purge. Purge means vomiting brought about by oneself or taking laxatives to get rid of extra calories from binge eating. OthersĀeat large amounts of food compulsively withoutĀpurging. These behaviors are eating disorders that need to be treated by a healthcare provider. Most people who have these disorders are usually either overweight or obese. If you have an eating disorder, it's important to be treated for it before you try to lose weight.
Some eating disorders that may need to be treated withĀpsychotherapy are:
Bulimia. A disorder in which a person eats compulsively and then vomits or uses water pills (diuretics), laxatives, or strenuous exercise to prevent weight gain.ĀFeelings of guilt, shame, and depression often follow the binge.
Binge eating disorder. A disorder that is similar to bulimia.ĀThe person has episodes of uncontrolled eating or bingeing. It differs from bulimia in that its sufferers don't purge their bodies of the excess food by vomiting or using laxativesĀorĀdiuretics.
Nighttime eating. Waking from sleep and eating in the middle of the night is a potentially harmful behavior and a sign of abnormal eating.Ā
Healthcare providers, psychotherapists, and dietitians can help a person with an eating disorder. Therapy can also help change behavior and attitudes. Some people get help from medicine and support groups.

The Interstate System is a network of highways in the state of San Andreas that circulates the Los Santos area before ending or merging into other roads. There are four Interstate highways being Los Santos Freeway, Del Perro Freeway, Olympic Freeway and La Puerta Freeway.
The highway names begin with an "I" prefix and then a number directly after a dash (i.e. I-4). The system exists of four originally five highways, but however I-3 seems to be absent in the game. Along with the Numbered Highways in San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto V has the most extensive freeway system in a Grand Theft Auto game.
- Interstate 1 - Los Santos Freeway
- Interstate 2 - Del Perro Freeway
- Interstate 3 - Absent
- Interstate 4 - Olympic Freeway
- Interstate 5 - La Puerta Freeway
- The Interstate is based of the real-life U.S nation-wide highway system of the same name.
- Grand Theft Auto V is the first Grand Theft Auto game to include realistic Interstates.
- The Interstate is the second largest freeway network after the Numbered Highways in San Andreas.

It is the largest map so far in any GTA game. Some of the places it will contain is: Los Santos, Blaine County, Mount Chiliad and more.

AAA teams face uphill climb to reach playoffs
CHARLESTON -- This could be a history-making season for Kanawha Valley schools in the Class AAA playoffs - for all the wrong reasons.
With five weeks remaining in the regular season, schools in Kanawha and Putnam counties have some climbing to do in the SSAC playoff ratings.
Only George Washington (4-1), last year's state runner-up, appears in decent position as far as capturing a postseason berth. The Patriots stood eighth in AAA before last weekend (their bye week), and figure to rise after three teams ahead of them suffered losses on Friday.
Other than that, no one else seems anywhere near a lock to make the 16-team AAA field. And if GW is the lone ranger for the Kanawha Valley come playoff time, it would mark a first.
Since the SSAC expanded its playoffs to a 16-team format in 1991, at least two area teams have qualified every year (see chart). At present, the fewest to ever advance was two, set last year (GW and Hurricane). In 13 of the past 21 seasons, at least four Kanawha Valley teams made it to the tournament.
Here's the road ahead for the other playoff contenders:
It doesn't take much guesswork to figure that several - or all - of those teams could wind up at 5-5, which this year most likely would mean no playoffs.
Desperate times, apparently, dictate desperate measures. Perhaps that's why Jeremy Taylor, Hurricane's first-year coach, went for it on fourth-and-6 from his own 24 with 4:44 left against Capital on Friday while trailing 20-17.
"The way I look at it - there's 41/2 minutes to go in the game. Now a smart man would have punted, but no one's ever accused me of being real smart,'' Taylor said. "I thought their defense had held, held and held, but I thought, 'Man, we're gonna break one.' I thought we've got to go for it. [Receiver] Koi [Turner] said he could hit that 3 route, and he did. He caught it. If it's in his hands, it's caught.''
After that conversion on a 17-yard pass to Turner, Hurricane continued its 80-yard drive for the decisive touchdown in a 23-20 victory, which quarterback Austin Hensley scored on a 1-yard sneak with nine seconds left.
"Hopefully this builds momentum rolling into the next week,'' Hensley said. "All of those games [remaining] are going to be tough games, so we'll see how it goes.''
Taylor and his team realize that despite Friday's thrilling win, nothing is guaranteed for the Redskins.
"They're a good football team - a very good team,'' Taylor said of the Cougars. "But if we don't win that game, we're 2-3 and we've got some tough teams coming up. In this [MSAC] conference, it's always tough - even teams some people think aren't very good.''
Capital coach Jon Carpenter, who saw his squad lose a second straight nail-biter (the Cougars fell to SC 20-17 the previous week), was disappointed at the outcome but not displeased.
"It's hard when you're this young,'' said Carpenter, who starts several underclassmen. "That's what worries you [players losing focus], but that wasn't the case. We had guys giving effort. I think everybody here knows our time is coming.''
Not even GW is assured of a cakewalk to a playoff berth.
The Patriots resume their schedule Friday against rejuvenated Spring Valley (3-2), which has lost only to No. 1 Cabell Midland and No. 5 Huntington. After that for GW, it's Riverside (1-4), Capital (3-2), St. Francis de Sales from Columbus, Ohio (3-3) and Parkersburg (4-2).
Double-A: All on the bubble
Unlike the Kanawha Valley's situation in Class AAA, everyone appears to be in the game as far as the double-A playoffs.
With five weeks left in the regular season, it's hard to eliminate more than a handful of teams for one of the 16 available spots in Class AA. The reason? A supersized middle class.
Following Friday's games, in which 13 of the top 24 teams in the AA rankings lost, only 13 schools remained with four or more wins. Just one other team has a winning record (3-2 Mingo Central).
That means a horde of teams are still very much vying for two or more positions at the bottom of the AA postseason bracket. Currently, there are 10 teams with 3-3 records and five more at 2-3, including Sissonville.
Cardinal rule
One of the season's top games could be contested in Madison Friday night as Cardinal Conference rivals Wayne (5-0) and Scott (6-0) collide.
The Skyhawks and Pioneers came into last weekend ranked 1-2 in Class AA and both won.
Wayne, the defending champion who owns the state's longest current winning streak at 14 games, beat Scott 50-20 at home last year.
Down in the Valley
A year-by-year look at the number of Kanawha Valley teams qualifying for the Class AAA football playoffs since 1991, when the postseason field was expanded from eight to 16 teams, and possible qualifiers this season:

Three days after his paid suspension began, board members asked Col. Lance Vincent to resign. OCEMS Board Chair David Thompson said Vincent, a 12-year veteran of OCEMS, was placed on paid administrative leave Friday pending investigation of an explicit e-mail conversation between Vincent and an OCEMS employee Jan. 25 through Feb.
