Nice find. Just wondering: is "gobball" obvious enough to refer to the original expression; or should we use "bow-meow" instead to keep the reference to a cat?
I thought about this actually. In the way I read it, the original title was a joke both on the idiomatic expression vs him literally going through his bag, and on him emptying his bag (of Yugo) at the end. Now we've seen gobball used as a tongue in cheek insult to refer to a person in episode six before so there's some precedent to using it as a joke of Ruel letting (throwing) the gobball (Yugo) out of his bag where as bow-meow while closer to the original English phrase would be a longer stretch to connect in that way. Of course this all makes sense to me since I reasoned it out to myself already so if someone else could say if they recognized the phrase before reading my explanation here that would be helpful.



"best" isn't exactly what Ruel says. "The greatest" or "the most beautiful ones" would fit better here. BTW, does "nicest" sound that odd?
The meaning is clear enough with nicest but it does sound strange to describe trophies of this sort that way. Nice usually implies something like, pleasant, agreeable, or cordial; so you might say a picnic, or a sunset, or a painting is nice but mementos taken from defeated foes seem a bit.... coarse of a thing to describe as nice. "The greatest" would work or along those lines, perhaps "the most impressive"?

WebSurfer, as I explained in a follow-up post, I'm using the Gaang Jr template for the infobox because I don't know how to create my own. Aurel is working on one, and "nationality" is one of the first things that needs changing.

I appreciate your "allies" to "friends" suggestion, but I have certifiably no way of implementing it. Sorry.

As much as I love what Ankama has given us so far, I can't help but dread the upcoming Dofus animated series they have planned for later this decade.

There's no doubt it'll be good, it'll be decent at worst, but any Dofus/Wakfu fan worth his salt knows how the world of Dofus ends.

And it ain't a pretty way to go.

Come to think of it, that would be Ankama's magnum opus in trolling: create a cast of likable characters, have them go on all these adventures, and then kill them off because the son of an alchemist had a hissy fit.

Anyone else wish they just promised 2 extra seasons of Wakfu instead? I don't think my heart can take seeing teenage-grade angst slaughter an entire world. Drowning in a monster's tears? I've never read the Dofus supplementary media, but even I can fathom that that era deserved better.
>> No. 34461
>>34460
There is almost a millenium between the era of Dofus (as a MMORPG) and Ogrest's Chaos. Even if the series takes place a bit later than the actual MMO, there is still plenty of time to fit several dozens of generations in there, don't worry about that.

Thanks for that!

I kind of liked "The Brotherhood of Tofu" as a team name, mind...

Oh wellz. Special thanks for setting up the template, as I was able to jerry-rig it for the episode guide: http://wiki.plus4chan.org/index.php?title=Wakfu-Episodes:S1E1_The_Child_of_Mist

The "Introduction" section is a special anomaly for this episode. Subsequent episodes will just have synopses (if anyone gets around to them, anyway). Feel free to poke around with it.

Hey good, filling them in the actual character pages...

We can move that page, doesn't matter so much.

Also - Should I save Grovy as Grovy or as Sadlygrove? Sadlygrove seems more like it.
>> No. 34487
>>34486

I'd say "Sadlygrove", since there's some disagreement over whether "Grovy" is really his nickname (Ankama's official translation is apparently "Dally", but we won't know for sure until the episodes come out in English).
>> No. 34488
Few proposals:
1) Merge father, mother, siblings to "family" with the use of suffixes (So"Family: XYZ (father)" etc.)
2) Add "height" to appearance, the official website has the height for near all of the characters.
3) Rename "team" to "faction"


Also:
The bottom border of the basic information, abilities, and friends & foes cells do not use the set border color but are always somewhat dark-green.
Also we still need to find something for the Race/Suffix problem. For example Joris has no race but still needs his Ambassador title somehow in the name.

I had height in my initial character box, but that was removed in the reformat. The measurements are in metric, mind, and from my Anglophone perspective "1m10" doesn't quite get across how ridiculously short Yugo is for a boy his age.

I agree with you about "Family". Nox is looking pretty barren right now, when a central part of his character is that he once had a wife and kids.

I say we use his real, original name, not bombastic one he claimed afterwards.

Isn't Tristepin Percidal his real name?
Pinpin and Pipoun are both only nicknames by the team and Goultard respectively
>> No. 34495
>>34494

IIRC, the only time Sir Tristepin Percidal is ever used in the series, two times, are when Grovy tries to introduce himself as a knight.

Goultard, who knew him the longest, calls him only Pipoun. And he doesn't protest in return - as is that was his name, changed later as it was embarrassing ;P
>> No. 34496
>>34493
It would be best to use the name he's most well known for, unless you want to set up a series of redirects. People looking for info on him aren't gonna be searching for Pipoun.
>> No. 34498

>Goultard, who knew him the longest, calls him only Pipoun. And he doesn't protest in return
Don't forget Goultard is his master...
BTW if a guy -who's actually an immortal demigod, powerful enough to make a Shushu like Rubilax shit his pants- were to call you by the most ridiculous nickname on earth, would you protest?
>> No. 34499
>>34496

I set up two most popular redirects, although the search function finds only his main page (on which I included list of all nicknames). Still, completeness is better.

2, 3, and the colour bug fixed...

However, I won't do 1 just yet, I will need the ParserFunctions extension enabled by Anonex...

Simply because it would kinda suck if this were to show up ALWAYS:

Family:
Unknown (father)
Unknown (mother)
None (siblings)
None (children)

And I can't prevent this without conditionals... Which are in the ParserFunctions extension.
>> No. 34501
>>34493
His real name is either "Sadlygrove" or "Tristepin".

His full "bombastic" name is either
- In English: Sir Sadlygrove Percidal (Wordplay with Percival)
- In French: Messire Tristepin de Percedal (Double wordplay with Perceval => French for Percival, and "perce dalle" => pierce slab)

"Pipoun" is nothing more than a sacarstic loving nickname Goultard gave him probably on a whim.

>>34495
>Goultard, who knew him the longest, calls him only Pipoun. And he doesn't protest in return - as is that was his name, changed later as it was embarrassing ;P

Is there any source actually confirming this, or is this just your personal headcanon?

Every entry I've written about Grovy refers to him by his official English name, "Sadlygrove", no nicknames or pet names or original French names. I also call boufbowl "gobbowl" in the episode guide for this same reason.

I don't get this entry. Grovy is only called "Pipoun" in one episode, far far into the series, and there are several turns of phrase in the bio that either concentrate on peripheral matters or just come across as weird. For example: "Pipoun is a typical Iop - bright, optimistic, craving for battle and something he calls "entering the legend" (a process otherwise known as winning the Darwin Award)." This last bit seems entirely superfluous.

Character entries should be structured for ease of reference, and focus exclusively on personality traits, the skills he contributes to the team and his relationships with particular individuals. There's a lot of description of Alibert, for instance, but the two barely knew each other. There are also a lot of spoilers for later episodes, and I'm not sure it's so safe to assume that he's a "typical Iop". We've met too few other Iops to make that sort of judgement, and it doesn't really tell us who he is. In my view, the personal opinion of the biographer should be kept to an absolute minimum. A lot of info in this article is debatable at best.

Thanks for putting it up, but I'm afraid it needs a lot of work.

No, there is no source. He's making an assumption based exclusively on the words of a single character. I suppose next he's going to tell us that Rubilax's page should be titled 'Rubi', because that's what Goultard called him and he had no noticeable objections?

Whoops! Looks like I've made a little mistake.
I've double checked the official English website, and it appears that Grovy's name is also "Percedal" in English, and not "Percidal".
I was pretty sure Ankama translated the "Percival" wordplay properly... My bad.
>> No. 34507

Not to worry, I made the same mistake. I'll also see about moving the "Child of Mist" page to a "Child from the Mist" page and updating the links to it. That's really bugging me.

Love the new opening. Looks like Ruel is finally going to step up as the main attacker on the team since Sadlygrove bit it.

Also, ha! I knew that Shushu guy was going to be a one-off bad guy. Screw everyone who said he'd be Sadlygrove's replacement.
