[edit] Dead Hand

Can somebody edit the page and make Dead Hand the winner?

[edit] Wow, way to jump the gun

Why not just wait for a title?--Richard 01:28, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Call me impatient. And moving it is no trouble. Move, change two links, delete old redirect. 'Sides, from this evening, I won't be on until next week. Oath to Order 01:35, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Congratulations on Picking a Name

Congrats. You got a name for yours just two days after the Colosseum I made here. (Which I started after the [using new name] Temple of Courage was started, so I came up with a name first.) I like it.XXXXX 20:54, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Questions

I would like to do a Fierce Diety vs. Tabuu, but I'm not sure if Tabuu is allowed, even though he is an opponent Link can fight against. Dark Ridley 12:54, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, you'll have to see what OtO says, but Link fights Mario in SSBB, and Tabuu too. Since Mario can't be here, then Tabuu probably can't either. But I think that would be a cool fight anyway. XXXXX 16:33, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Zelda characters only. Oath to Order 00:41, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Maybe we should archive some of the older fights.....the ones that have multiple rejects and no one seems to vote for anymore? Dark Ridley 13:14, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Should we delete Reject posts if the person who placed them doesn't say why they did, since it is a rule that they must say why they reject it?

No it doesn't. Oath to Order 14:01, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

It is a rule. Just check them. You have to say why if you justify your post. I think that's a great idea. XXXXX 15:50, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey, how about a Veran VS. Onox? PhantomGanonUsurper27 31 July, 2008

Telma Vs. Louise! =] -Ellie.

Two ideas(not counting the old one): Rat Vs. Keese and Fyrus Vs. Gohma(wind waker) PGU27

What about Telma versus Tingle? [Rileymedora] 16 September, 2008

[edit] How it works

For those wondering, I pick fights by counting both the support and rejects, and then subtracting reject from support. Oath to Order 18:38, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Let me give an example as to how I pick fights: If two suggestions have, say, six support votes, but one has three reject votes and the four, I'll put the one with three reject votes up. Why? Because, technically, it has more votes then the other. 6-4=2. 6-3=3. Get the idea? Oath to Order 18:00, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Comment Gallery

AuronKaizer - "There's danger on the edge of town." TALK - THE LIST - PIT OF RECKONING - SANDBOX - WIDGETS - ToC - SUGGESTIONS Must we seriously use "Peanut Gallery" for the name of the comment section? I'm allergic to peanuts, and it's a really really really really really bad joke. It just makes it hard to take this seriously.

XXXXX – Do you ever feel a strange sadness as night falls? This is Twilight… TALK – Check out my project: The Mass Menagerie! I second that motion.

[[File:|50px]]

Oath to Order – The perceived badassery of any given action will increase tenfold if the action is performed while on fire. TALK – 0_o Feel free to change it. I don't particularly care nor does it matter to me.

[[File:|50px]]

vidiman – --i love the monkey head, robin hood, rock on, cheese steak jimmy's TALK – {{{time}}} Hmm. I might be able to change it if that doesn't matter.

[[File:|50px]]

Oath to Order – The perceived badassery of any given action will increase tenfold if the action is performed while on fire. TALK – 0_o Subject over.

Dark Ridley – Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds. TALK – {{{19:55, 7 May 2008 (UTC)}}} How about when a fight is finished, an announcer comment is added in order to describe the fight, like "Zant now has Aghamin in a leg hold.....This fight is over!"

[[File:|50px]]

XXXXX – Do you ever feel a strange sadness as night falls? This is Twilight… And I'm allergic to it. Don't touch my skin. TALK – Check out my project: The Mass Menagerie! Midna, talk slowly. How am I supposed to understand "Kin Wob Eber Beah!"? Because it isn't that kind of fught. It's a popularity contest.

Solar flute – The secret of the Bulblins, parachutes. TALK – why don't they put guardrails on that stupid bridge This place seems to have the most user activity of any article.

Griffen78 – I hold the triforce of power dearly,but it only drives me mad TALK – let me show you just what hope you have! hero of time voted twice check history...is that bad?

[edit] Several Points

Whoever formats these battles needs to learn to use their eyes, because there is no excuse for the fights looking this bad. Here are a few points of petty complaining:

1. Both pictures should always be the same size. One should not be bigger than the other, or the voting columns get warped. Each column should be the same size to show visual equality between the two choices. For the worst example of ignoring this rule, see Week 8.
2. The center picture needs to be much smaller. Generally smaller than the fighters. This way, the Battle Box stays inside the borders of the page. 100px, no more. If you want an example, just see every fight ever made.
3. Clearly, the fight maker has no sense for color. Both colors should be of equal tone and shade. They should be like Week 10, where you have one blinding bright color competing against a dark smudge. Weeks 11 and 12 is an example of how it should be done. This is an improving trend, and should be kept up.
4. Finally, no dark colors! You can barely read the text! See Week 7. If you must make the background so dark, make the text white.

Thank you. TacticAngel would cry if he saw these fights. I already did.--BlueHighwind 01:21, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

BH crying. There's your surprise of the day folks! --AuronKaizer^Kennedy! 13:02, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Template

Should we create a template to show which articles are currently fighting? (I mean putting them on the actual article) or would this be a waste of time??

[edit] Updating and stuff

[[File:|50px]]

Murchadah – Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop.... TALK – The Other Top Ten I haven't been able to get on the computer much, and even then, I don't have much time to do much. Therefore, I can't update the Temple of Courage, and would like to pass the baton to someone (And Uberphoeb hasn't been on much, so......). Anyone want the job?

AuronKaizer - "Fun fun fun in the fluffy chair, flame up the herb, woof down the beer." TALK - THE LIST - PIT OF RECKONING - SANDBOX - WIDGETS - ToC - SUGGESTIONS Hoo hoo. Sorry, just the thought of having to deal with all this statutory you-know-what of the English language makes my eyes burn. It ain't me babe, it ain't me you're lookin' for.

Solar flute – The secret of the Bulblins, parachutes. TALK – why don't they put guardrails on that stupid bridge I'm able to work the temple of courage, or at least help.Just look what I made in my sandbox.

Power courage wisdom and time – Time passes, people move...Like a river's flow, it never ends. A childish mind will turn to noble ambition...Young love will become deep affection... The clear water's surface reflects growth... TALK Can I help too? I got this weeks battle on my Sandbox.

[[File:|50px]]

Murchadah – I EMERGE FROM THE PLACE BENEATH THE OVERWORLD EVERY 1,000 YEARS WHEN THE MOON ALIGNS WITH JAKUNGA!!! TALK – The Other Top Ten That looks good. If you want the job, you can figure out amongst yourselves who does what. Some things you need to remember are: Archive the suggestion page every week archive the fights every 4 weeks Update near the beginning of the week Don't use the same image twice. I can't think of much else for now. Have fun

[edit] Diababa vs. Kalle Demos

Why exactly is Diababa vs. Kalle Demos the fight? It didn't get the most votes.....It got -1, in fact.......And on a side note, why is the comment section (Also known as the Peanut Gallery) now on the right side instead of in the middle under the voting sections (What I mean is, it's under the Kalle Demos section and the Stalkin section from the last fight) Xykeb Zraliv 20:43, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

I fixed the peanut gallery problem. Solar flute

That's great, but it still doesn't answer my original question.....Xykeb Zraliv 04:03, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Dark link vs Link

The hero of time vs the evil link will battle till one is defeated. Will it be the hero of hyrule several times or will it be the evil copy of link sent to destroy him? Who knows!

Xykeb Zraliv – Instead of making the moon hit Termina faster, use your energy to give it a face. Your weapon of mass destruction may as well look nice. TALK – REVIEWS - MAJORA'S MASK WALKTHROUGH - ORACLE OF AGES WALKTHROUGH - TOP TEN Um, what? If you're trying to make a fight suggestion, you can do so here.

[edit] notice

Solar flute – The secret of the Bulblins, parachutes. TALK – why don't they put guardrails on that stupid bridge it seems like people make accounts just so that there votes count as full instead of a half.

[edit] Colors

Midnaslave – Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there, with open arms and open eyes, yeah. TALK – Oh god, NO! - Manual of Style Just in general, can we please try to make the colored templates for the ToC less blindingly opposite? Or just not as bright... I know it's kinda pointless but, yeah. :P

Solar flute – The secret of the Bulblins, parachutes. TALK – why don't they put guardrails on that stupid bridge also, never make the color be blue, red, or black

[edit] Introduction Paragraph text

I don't like the new changes just made, specifically this part: "...and not "battles" as such. For instance, in a boss vs. boss fight, vote for the one you like the most; don't base your votes on whether or not one enemy would beat another in a legit fight." Specifically because that is the criteria a lot of people use as their reasoning, and that was one of the original suggestions for how to vote (like Hero of Time 87 has done in virtually every battle). Not sure how that just changed out of no where, considering its still in the "Rules" section as well.

AuronKaizer - "Tell me what you think about this low-fat diet shampoo. Do you think it's Crunchy, Half Crunchy or Not Crunchy At All?" TALK - THE LIST - PIT OF RECKONING - SANDBOX - WIDGETS - ToC - SUGGESTIONS I thought we agreed to said rule ages ago...my memory is a little sketchy though. It undermines the original concept, but if people want it that way, that's the way it's gotta be I guess.

Oh it was? Where? Sorry, I didn't mean to just jump in if it was already agreed upon. Pianist Link 01:46, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

AuronKaizer - "Insert token Joker reference here" TALK - THE LIST - PIT OF RECKONING - SANDBOX - WIDGETS - ToC - SUGGESTIONS Hmm, well, I just checked where we discussed it, and I guess I was wrong (again, the memory...) However, if one does use the "real battle" process, it's a bit unfair if one of the parts can actually "fight" while the other cannot. It would make more sense to just keep them popularity contests.

Well with the new edit, I think it's fine now. Cheers. Pianist Link 01:56, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Champion's Round

Dark Ridley – Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds. TALK – {{{19:55, 7 May 2008 (UTC)}}} How about special matches that only features characters who have won at least once in the Temple of Courage?

Moblin slayer – Can you feel it, see it, hear it today? If you can't, then it doesn't matter anyway. You will never understand it 'cuz it happens too fast and it feels so good, it's like walking on glass... TALK – Yeah... I don't know...that wouldn't make much sense, as the characters have to be connected, and unless we were going to redo a fight, there wouldn't be a connection (or not much of one, anyway...)

Xykeb Zraliv – Instead of making the moon hit Termina faster, use your energy to give it a face. Your weapon of mass destruction may as well look nice. TALK – REVIEWS - MAJORA'S MASK WALKTHROUGH - ORACLE OF AGES WALKTHROUGH - TOP TEN This has already been discussed multiple times. While the idea seems cool at first, we'd have a whole bunch of fights that don't make sense, like Link vs. Hyrule, Zora vs. Diababa, and Stalkin vs. Ganondorf.

AuronKaizer - "It's a big place, the desert. Got lost in it myself once." TALK - THE LIST - PIT OF RECKONING - SANDBOX - WIDGETS - ToC - SUGGESTIONS I agree with these guys. We could probably do some kind of championship tournament in the future, though. It'd have to be outside the ToC though.

Actually Xykeb it is possible for one being to go up against an entire race. You've ever seen Scarface, Commando or Rambo? (Note: this is a joke! For the love of God no one take this seriously.) --Big Poe=Nice Guy 01:53, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Hang on...

Who's the dude who's writing the stuff for the "matches"? You know, those (often-hilarious) comments that normally align with a normal wrestling match. --Big Poe=Nice Guy 02:21, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Xykeb Zraliv – Instead of making the moon hit Termina faster, use your energy to give it a face. Your weapon of mass destruction may as well look nice. TALK – REVIEWS - MAJORA'S MASK WALKTHROUGH - ORACLE OF AGES WALKTHROUGH - TOP TEN I don't know who did it this particular week, but it's usually either AuronKaizer or Watcher. AuronKaizer started it all and Watcher kind of followed his example. So chances are it was one of them.

Yeah I thought it was AK. Seemed like his kind of humor. --Big Poe=Nice Guy 13:52, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

WATCHER – I am the all-seeing eye. I am the light in the darkness. The defender of the world. I am Watcher. TALK – Come to the Watchtower. It's kind of common knowledge by now, but yes, me, AK, and sometimes my little brother do the Temple of Courage intros.

EveryDayJoe45 – "You want the key, and I want you dead, so we can make this work"--Stalfos (The Legend of Neil) TALK I don't know dude. Mr. Fairy did it the other week, hes stealing your job...

WATCHER – I am the all-seeing eye. I am the light in the darkness. The defender of the world. I am Watcher. TALK – Come to the Watchtower. Oh, it's not that big a deal. I know him in real life, and he has permision to do it if I can't/ don't get to it in time.

[edit] Zeldapedia home page

It still says that this week's fight is the Composer Bros. vs. Guru-Guru; shouldn't it be changed to this week's fight? I'd do it myself, only... I have no idea how. Diachronos (talk) 00:33, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Some designated thing...

UberPhoeb – Hello, my name is UberPhoeb, you ate my taco. Prepare to die. TALK – CONTRIBUTIONS -- EDIT COUNT -- OTHER ADMINS Could we have some designated something to tell us who does the temple of courage, other than the over-clogged up history page. I think Mr.Fairy does it but he's an IP! Anyway. I also would like to take command. Maybe a userbox? This user manages the Temple of Courage. ? Woah! It's there! ‘‘I WANT MY TACO BACK, SON OF A BITCH!’’

Xykeb Zraliv – Instead of making the moon hit Termina faster, use your energy to give it a face. Your weapon of mass destruction may as well look nice. TALK – REVIEWS - MAJORA'S MASK WALKTHROUGH - ORACLE OF AGES WALKTHROUGH - TOP TEN Actually, I'm pretty sure Watcher is the one doing it most of the time. Mr.Fairy only does it sometimes.

[edit] New Look?

UberPhoeb – Hello, my name is UberPhoeb, you ate my taco. Prepare to die. TALK – CONTRIBUTIONS -- EDIT COUNT -- OTHER ADMINS Along with the new words (Especially the excessive amounts of vowels), maybe the ToC needs a new look. Make it look more like a Temple? Along with that, the Wrestle-mania thing might catch on. Anyway, I was thinking... "As you enter the giant Temple, you see only darkness. The light of the Triforce of Courage shines before you as you look beyond. After bypassing two traps (show images of traps on either side), you see a giant rock surround by flame (show the ToC Logo with two fire things on either side), the rock depicting the Royal Family's logo, and under it, (Big space) (big letters, cool font called triforce) THE TEMPLE OF COURAGE. As you walk past the rock and through some vines, you see a giant ring. 'Welcome to the Temple of Courage. Every week there's a fight (etc, with the details).' (Then it shows the voting and whatnot). I know, people wont like this much, but who gives?! I do Anyway, i hope everyone likes this idea They wont ‘‘I WANT MY TACO BACK, SON OF A BITCH!’’

Xykeb Zraliv – Instead of making the moon hit Termina faster, use your energy to give it a face. Your weapon of mass destruction may as well look nice. TALK – REVIEWS - MAJORA'S MASK WALKTHROUGH - ORACLE OF AGES WALKTHROUGH - TOP TEN That could work, if we did it right. Let's just not use that paragraph specifically :P

UberPhoeb – Hello, my name is UberPhoeb, you ate my taco. Prepare to die. TALK – CONTRIBUTIONS -- EDIT COUNT -- OTHER ADMINS Yay! I was just sayin' something along those lines. Shall we take a vote? Forum:New Temple of Courage Layout. ‘‘I WANT MY TACO BACK, SON OF A BITCH!’’

[edit] Back Off

WATCHER – I am the all-seeing eye. I am the light in the darkness. The defender of the world. I am Watcher. TALK – Come to the Watchtower. Hey, I'm the guy who does the Temple of Courage, and if I can't it's Mister Fariy. If he can't, then it's first come, first served. I like the Temple just the way it is, and I would prefer if some maniac didn't come along proposing some change without consulting me first. I may have limited access right now, but you, back off!

Moblin slayer – Come the morning light, its a see through show, what you may have heard and what you think you know... TALK – Yeah... That "maniac" is the person who ran ToC before you, and, correct if I'm wrong, an admin. Show some respect please.

UberPhoeb – Hello, my name is UberPhoeb, you ate my taco. Prepare to die. TALK – CONTRIBUTIONS -- EDIT COUNT -- OTHER ADMINS Watcher, you back off. Murch and I were the first ToC guys, not you. When Murch and I disappeared, AK took over, and i guess passed the roll to you. TBH, I don't even trust that fairy person, He's an IP. Don't abuse your power, because your not the only one here who can Copy and Paste stuff. IT'S REALLY EASY. ‘‘I WANT MY TACO BACK, SON OF A BITCH!’’

Xykeb Zraliv – Instead of making the moon hit Termina faster, use your energy to give it a face. Your weapon of mass destruction may as well look nice. TALK – REVIEWS - MAJORA'S MASK WALKTHROUGH - ORACLE OF AGES WALKTHROUGH - TOP TEN While I do agree that Watcher is being a little too aggresive, and I know that you used to run the Temple of Courage, it is true that he makes the Temple of Courage fights now and you seem to be acting as if, because you were doing this first, you should be able to just pick up where you left off with no hassle. I agree that you have the right to propose this change (he can just vote no if we wants), but you're really not respecting the fact that Watcher does this. All this stuff about how you're going to start doing the Temple of Courage again I mean.

[edit] Issue

Hey guys, I thought of something. It turned out that Flashpenny and Big Poe were the same perosn, right? What are we going to do about the fights where both of them voted? Will we change the results?03:01, 1 July 2009 (UTC)MaloMart (talk)

Xykeb Zraliv – Instead of making the moon hit Termina faster, use your energy to give it a face. Your weapon of mass destruction may as well look nice. TALK – REVIEWS - MAJORA'S MASK WALKTHROUGH - ORACLE OF AGES WALKTHROUGH - TOP TEN Personally I say no. The fights are done and over with, nobody really cares about the anymore and even if the results are slightly off, it would be rather pointless to change them just for the sake of making them "correct".

Haru Mclean Namikaze – "Death May be the greatest of all human blessings."--Socrates TALK – CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION Are you supposed to vote for the one you hate the most, or like the most?

Xykeb Zraliv – Instead of making the moon hit Termina faster, use your energy to give it a face. Your weapon of mass destruction may as well look nice. TALK – REVIEWS - MAJORA'S MASK WALKTHROUGH - ORACLE OF AGES WALKTHROUGH - TOP TEN Either one. Personally, I generally vote for the one I think is cooler, regardless of whether or not I like it.
