Template talk:Quote of the now

That quote RachmaninovDESU uploaded came from I'm sorry, Dude.--LizardPie 21:54, 15 June 2009 (CEST)

No offense about the rollback (meant to do undo), just preferred to keep the one about Meg for a while since it's fairly recentish. --Champthom 04:34, 11 October 2009 (CEST)

Reminder

For Christmas eve, change it to the quote from Sonichu's News Dash about how all Chris wants for Christmas is a pretty girl and how he asks for his readers to cheer him up by being his girlfriend for Christmas. Christmas Day will be the special holiday message from the CWCki staff. Also, for New Year's Eve, the quote about how Chris's New Year's resolution for 2009 was to lose his virginity. --Champthom 08:54, 27 November 2009 (CET)

Changing quote

Can anyone just come and change this quote? It's been here for a while already, so I was thinking about changing it to something else. --Lynxr 23:22, 28 November 2009 (CET)

Suggesting a quote

I found this on the "It Just Bugs Me" page for Sonichu on TV Tropes, and I think it sums up Chris pretty well:

“	The problem is that Chris's problem is not solely "homophobia;" as mentioned above he finds asexuality abhorrent as well. Chris has that nasty mindset of complete and utter heterophobia: fear of all things different. He hates people who don't share his sexual preferences, people who don't share his belief that his own work is awesome, people who make him leave the premises of malls because he's harassing the women there. He hates people who drink and smoke for the sole reason that he himself doesn't. He even hates people who are totally heterosexual because they steal women from him, and he hates those women because they aren't sleeping with him, and even when they do show interest (well, pretend to show interest) he hates them for not being as slutty as he would like them to be. He's completely twisted. Sad and cynical as it may sound, there is just no getting past this type of impassioned bigotry short of completely rebooting his brain and restructuring the way it works.	”

A Guide to Quote of the Now

Since I always don't feel like finding a good quote to make the quote of the now, let's let others find a good quote. But what makes a good Quote of the Now?

Ideally, the quote should reflect The Now - as in, what's going on with Chris. If it's particularly slow with Chris, then digging through and finding quotes is alright, but when things are constantly happening (especially in the advent of the Mailag), there's no excuse to not have this updated more.

What makes a good quote? Ideally something that reflects The Now, and should really be something that says "Holy shit, only Chris could say [x]." It's not so much gimicky, just it's that it helps reflect The Now.

For instance, let's look at Mailbag 48. The reply about Asperchu and why Sonichu says more about Chris and The Now, whereas a quote about Chris lifting 100 pounds is not as good.

Be sure to wikify the quote, to serve as a way for people to explore CWCki and to annotate the quote in a way. Also, cite where the quote is from exactly. Don't just say it's from Chris, cite where and timestamp.

And for the love of God, do not do shit like "blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Asperchu blah blah blah blah blah blah blah." Do not fucking alter things to be "funny." Yes, someone did that before and it's not fucking funny. --Champthom 03:42, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Linking

I don't think links should be done sparingly - I think people are afraid of linking to stuff because of the comment in the usage. This is a wiki, stuff should link to other stuff and Quote of the now can serve as a sort of portal to other articles that are relevant to recent topics. --Champthom 05:11, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps that part just needs better phrasing. I was trying to suggest that linking every other word to a barely related article or FAIL etc. (covered by our editing guidelines anyway) would not be that great. Drop the line if you think it's not having its intended effect. --Anonymax 10:22, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

God damn, first the quote of the now had no links and it sucked. Now every word is linked and it sucks. Aim for the middle - some words quoted but not the entire damn thing. Gawd.--Champthom 21:18, 20 November 2010 (PST)

• Okay, see, this is how you do a Quote of the Now - some relevant links are linked, not every god damn word but not nothing. Aim for the middle, people.--Champthom 13:51, 23 November 2010 (PST)

Redacted part of the current quote

Given that it's mentioned in the sauce and that anybody can see it if they were to look at the sauce, it's silly to redact that. People are going to play his level anyway so there's no use fighting it. --Champthom 13:04, 9 February 2011 (PST)

Period

Needs a period at the end, if only to continue the trend. Freecell (t/c) 23:07, 20 August 2011 (PDT)

Bob quote

Very apt, but could we cite where it's from at least?--Champthom 04:42, 11 September 2011 (PDT)

Thank you! Also, I don't know where to put this, but please let us know if Cole Smithey gives a tasteless reaction to Bob's death, Champthom. I wish to be a part of any and all efforts to give him hell for doing so. --DawnDusk 17:02, 18 September 2011 (PDT)
