[edit] Totally Spies

Hey thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you like the first picture (I'm not fond of the other ones either). I'll work it a little and get back to you. In "miscellaneous" you could have talked about the math formulas, which I worked out using my girlulator. CAKE J! <-> 20:23, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Awesomeness! I guess I have to think of a way to lengthen the article, and then I'll re-resubmit to the general public. Maybe if I had, in each section, a "counterpoint" from the prissy girl in school? CAKE J! <-> 20:43, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Oooh, I've never "won" before! Anyways, take a look at the page now and see whatcha think. Gimme some feedback no matter HOW positive. CAKE J! <-> 21:04, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pimp My Signature

You almost had me fooled: I thought you made your own custom signature since I last talked to you. Yeah, I was trying to make the AAAAA seem like angry squeeling. I need to have something that doesn't get old... CAKE J! <-> 23:47, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Well, since I just discovered custom sigs today, I may know a thing 'er two. CAKE J! <-> 00:19, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

...Your "proud fingers"? Well, anyway, here's what the doctor ordered:

Make this page: user:Farley Grey/sig
Go to MY PREFERENCES at the top of your screen thingy.
At nickname, put this in there: {{Subst:Nosubst|User:Farley Grey/sig}}
Click "raw signatures"
Now, everytime you put the quadruple tilde, whatever is on that page appears there with the time stamp.
The finer points of the signature, like making it different colors and such, can be found by looking at whoever's signature you like best and going to their signature page. 90% of people have their signature page as User:blahblah/sig.
Keep me posted on your progress, because I want MY signature to be pimped out, too!

CAKE J! <-> 00:37, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Awesome! I love it when people copy me! :D However, I forgot to mention that there are rules, and I don't know where they are so I'll just put em down here:

No bigger than 12 point! How can you tell if you're over? You can't! That <style> percentage thing doesn't mean what you think it means. 120% is NOT 12 point, I discovered.
If you want pictures in your signature, which I think looks dumb, there are special rules you have to follow.
That's all I can think of, for now...

CAKE J! <-> 00:53, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Yo, reviewer type person.

I remember you! Here, I have a task: review this thing: please? thank you: Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/UnNews:Uncyclopedia Names Man of the Year -- CAKE J! <-> 19:54, 10 October 2007 (UTC) (my signature has changed alot since you last saw it)

Here's a peace offering. Use it wisely. -- CAKE J! <-> 19:57, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

oooh! Thanks for the 45/50! Do you promise you were NOT just being nice? How do you think it would do on vfh? -- CAKE J! <-> 23:39, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Yo, close friend type person.

Hey Farley, do me another favor if you would: Take a look at Hard to read and then vote appropriately (wink wink) on Uncyclopedia:VFH/Hard to read to award it as a featured article... -- CAKE J! <-> 04:55, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] the important stuff about UnNews articles

Welcome to UnNews, Farley Grey, and thank you for contributing some crap, or something. For a very quick introduction to the ins and outs, please take 30 seconds to read Help:How to write an UnNews article. Please note that proper formatting of an UnNews articles title has only the first word (after UnNews:) and proper nouns capitalized. The second offense of this cardinal rule gets your ass banned. Heh, just kidding... maybe.

Also, a perusal of HowTo:Tune up an UnNews article may help you sink to the average level of UnNews mediocrity, and go on to fame, fortune, and dispepsia.

Although I am an UnNews ~~god~~ cretin and an omnipotent admin, I am also humble, and realize that I make mistakes. I try to allow for some slack in others as well. If your article has been deleted or NRVd by me, it probably sucked, and in my opinion was not worth saving. Things which may protect you from my delete stick are;

Pics with captions
Links to other Uncyclopedia thingies, like this [[thingie]]
Pay attention to suggestions in the UnNews article template
Sources, fill in the info {{source|url= |title= |author= |pub= |date=Mmmmm DD, YYYY}}

if I see this "[ ]". [[wikipedia:|]], Mmmmm DD, YYYY

instead of a properly formatted source, I may take it as a sign from the gods to delete the article

I've reproduced some other pertinent links below from Uncyclopedia:Community Portal which I recommend you peruse.

[edit] SATURDAY NIIIIGHT!

I'll vote for your article if you vote for mine! Woot! -- CAKE J! <-> 03:49, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] SATURDAY MORNING MATH LESSON!

Thank you for the vote! I voted for yours... However, it's a shame. You need to understand how VFH works, because you made it so that your article and mine are competing against each other. Allow me to demonstrate:

VFH Summary

ARTICLE	SCORE	NOM AGE	HEALTH	ergo...
whoever's thingy	3 (+6/-3)	4 days	nobody cares
Farley's thingy	1 (+2/-1)	4 days	maybe 75%	You're competing against whoever and me.
Cajek's thingy	4 (+4/-0)	4 days	more than 100%	I'm competing against you and Mordillo.
Mordillo's thingy	1 (+2/-1)	4 days	I don't know

Now, here's the trick: I don't understand how health works however I do know that the article with the highest health each day gets VFH. Each article with health above 0% gets a free ride until the 4th day, at which time the competition starts. Articles below 50% after that point get automatically deleted. I know that it has to do with how many people voted which way in the above and below nominations AND it's age relative to either the newest nomination or the noms above and below-- I don't know which. I wish I knew, but I don't.

The point is that in the future, wait for an article that isn't so bad that it'll be denommed by the 4th day but not so good that it lasts for a week with 200 yes votes. Also, look at the writers you're competing against in the thing. There's a lot of theories bouncing around in my head concerning this. What do you think the "health" thing is Far, because it's kinda confusing.

As Skull corrected me below, it isn't <50% that gets deleted, it's whatever the lowest health is. If that lowest health is >50% then it gets quasi-featured I believe. -- CAKE J! <-> 15:01, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

One teeny correction — it's the article with the highest score that gets featured each day, and the lowest health that gets removed first. Okay, done butting into other people's business now... – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • bloggings) MUP 15:04 Oct 20, 2007

highest SCORE or highest HEALTH? -- CAKE J! <-> 15:06, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Highest score. And then in case of a tie, the one that's been on VFH the longest. – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • bloggings) MUP 15:09 Oct 20, 2007

Thank you Skull for butting in! please feel free to add anything else to this user's talk page! -- CAKE J! <-> 15:12, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

I looked at Forum:Suggestion to Replace the Darwin Rule again and I'm pretty sure that articles are no longer in competition with the one directly above them or below them. Instead, it's roughly based off of how long they've been on VFH versus the score they presently have. You can look at the forum for the equation, I think it's something like health = score / (days since nomination + 7), and noms under three days old have immunity unless they hit a score of -3. – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • bloggings) MUP 00:12 Oct 21, 2007

[edit] Hey, thanks for voting for Cancer

Aaawww...
Farley Grey has been diagnosed with cancer.
leg cancer. Yeah. Incurable.

Have a weird little user template! -- CAKE J! <-> 22:29, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The return of Farley Grey?

Where. Have. You. Been? CAKE J! <-> (Dec 22 / 13:59)

Oh! Mr. Commander Farley, take a look at Uncyclopedia:VFH/Why?:Give Up. That's my attempt at whoring. I think you'll enjoy it though, it tells the story of a little bald kid who wanders the earth in search of a little red headed girl. CAKE J! <-> (Dec 23 / 23:21)

Woot! I'm very glad you liked it, sir! CAKE J! <-> (Dec 23 / 23:34)
