Contact details for EOYE
Heya. Glad to have you as part of the team. Troisnyx here. Nice to meet you.

Any way we can stay in contact besides KHW? Are you on Skype by any chance? TRS NX  18:23, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

Nice to meet you too. And no, presently all my other forms of contact are not exactly usable. I am also not on Skype. Rex Ronald Rilander (talk) 21:20, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Right. We really need to keep our correspondence private, and have a good way of sending each other files. What would you suggest, on that front? Both Neumannz and I have Skype and are pretty much thinking about how to start -- we're just waiting for you. TRS NX  21:21, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
 * What would I suggest? I don't know. I could try and see if my email account is working again. If not, maybe I could use my brother's. I'll have to get back to you on that sometime tomorrow. Rex Ronald Rilander (talk) 21:39, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

Okay. If we do settle on e-mails, we'd need prompt responses, and we'd need to agree on a time for discussions. Neumannz and I will also have to pass you our respective e-mail addresses. TRS NX  21:48, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

I've got nothing but time, so any time after 12:00 PM EST is good for me. Rex Ronald Rilander (talk) 21:57, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, I go by GMT, so I'm five hours ahead of you. I have quite a lot of time on my hands, but tomorrow is not a good day. TRS NX  23:23, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Would you have a Gmail account? If you don't want to get a Skype account, we could use Google Hangouts. -- 23:38, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

Day 2
So, any luck? TRS NX  23:40, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Yep. My account's still not working, but I got the OK my from my younger brother. Here's the email address: Just remove it once you've got it. And change of plans, I'm now only free from 9:00 to 10:20 AM. Rex Ronald Rilander (talk) 01:55, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Done. I'll think of the office implement that sounds like your brother's email address. Also, I'll be out today, and there's no guarantee I'd return by then, but I'll try. TRS NX  10:36, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

As it turns out, I am home and waiting for you. I hope to see you on Hangouts. TRS NX  13:42, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
 * EDIT: An hour has passed since you said you'd be on, and we're waiting still. TRS NX  14:52, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry! I overslept, but I'm here now! Rex Ronald Rilander (talk) 15:11, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

Alright. There's a Hangouts chat that can be accessed from the Gmail page, that Neumannz has set up. He's got both me and you. Don't worry about it. We can talk further there. <font color="#222222">TRS <font color="#444444">NX  15:13, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Let me know if you need any help. -- 15:29, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

If there's one thing I hate, it's being a hindrance to others. The reason my email account isn't working is because it's asking for a password I don't have, I've tried every single thing I can think of. When I tried to use my brother's account on Google Hangouts just now, it asked for a password that HE didn't have. We've never used Google Hangouts before, beacause we're not very internet social poeple. I'm afraid this idea won't work, my sincerest apologies. Rex Ronald Rilander (talk) 15:45, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Any chance of setting up a new account? I'd really like us to work as a team for once, and have you in on the brainstorming. :( <font color="#222222">TRS <font color="#444444">NX  15:48, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I am many things. An expert at email accounts is not one of them. Do you know if it's possible to delete an account without needing a password, and then making a new one with the same name? Rex Ronald Rilander (talk) 15:55, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
 * They wouldn't let you delete an email account without verifying that it belongs to you, so probably not. I would suggest creating a secondary email account in the meantime. (Having a second email is also good when you need to reset a password.) -- 16:03, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
 * OK then. Should I get right on that? Rex Ronald Rilander (talk) 16:06, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Go for it. -- 16:19, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Can I still make the meeting? If not, I'll get to it later. Rex Ronald Rilander (talk) 16:23, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
 * We're still here. -- 16:24, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

Day 3
Did you manage to make a new email address? There's so much we'd like to go through with you that a wall of text over an email isn't going to be enough. <font color="#222222">TRS <font color="#444444">NX  12:21, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
 * No, and I forgot to tell you that I won't be able to make it on weekends. Here's my shcedule.
 * Staurday-Sunday: Unavailable.
 * Monday-Friday: Available at 9-10 EST.
 * Monday and Thursday: Available at 12-1 EST. I'll have the email thing sorted out by Monday. Rex Ronald Rilander (talk) 16:23, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

Okay. Thanks for letting me know. ^_^ <font color="#222222">TRS <font color="#444444">NX  18:24, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

EoYE check ups!
I can do the work, I'm just missing some key details that keep me from getting started. I can get it done in time though, I think. I've made a breakthrough on my communications problem today though, so I should be able to really start moving. Rex Ronald Rilander (talk) 03:00, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

Vanitas Remnant
Just a heads up, the Vanitas Remnant is not non-canon. 05:59, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

There a reason you're telling me this? Rex Ronald Rilander (talk) 20:49, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

Help with Unchained
Every English translation you can add is very helpful at the moment, since formats for medals and avatar boards haven't been decided yet they can wait a bit longer. If you know the origin of the "Medalist" title you could add it to, but you probably already received it. -- 08:36, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

KHWV party?
We migrated to Vulpes, any chance I could get your ID so we can invite you to our party? 16:21, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
 * It's 28167 but I'm already part of Team Shadow Skill. Maybe I'll leave and join you guys next week, I at least owe my team all 600,000 Lux that I've gathered these last two days. Rex Ronald Rilander (talk) 03:17, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Contact me on facebook (I'm on the identified list for the wiki's facebook page) and I'll add you to our facebook chat. We're currently focusing on marathoning the Queen Bee. 04:52, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the Help!
I just wanted to thank you for offering your advice for my Userpage. I'm not very new to the KH universe, but the Wiki is a bit of a different story. I will use your advice and, again, thanks! Darkviney (talk) 12:02, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
 * No problem, man. Happy to help. Rex Ronald Rilander (talk) 02:09, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

Riku Replica
Just a heads up that I reverted your edit on that article, with a link to the justification. 15:10, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Before I say anything, I'd just like to personally apologize for my behaviour all those years ago. It was rude, disrespectful, and unprofessional, and I'm sorry.
 * With that out of the way, I still disagree and stand by my belief that that was simply a dream version of Riku. Riku states that the world has gone back in time, Yen Sid said that the Sleeping Worlds are dreaming of events that have already happened, and claiming that the Riku Replica somehow came back to life, found a way into the Realm of Sleep, found and put on a black coat, and journeyed into Monstro to replay an event he may not even recall from Riku's memories is a serious stretch. It sounds like speculation to me, but I'll just leave it at that. If this is what you want to stick with, I'll stand down. But I will point this information out to people whenever possible. Rex Ronald Rilander (talk) 03:01, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
 * No one's claiming that it came back to life and did all that other stuff. They're claiming it did the exact same thing that all the other dark characters who appear in similar circumstances did -- be brought there by Young Xehanort. There's no reason to assume it should be any type of unique situation, given that all the other Xehanorts who appear in the game are...well, the game is very reiterative, to put it charitably. 04:41, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Firstly, it occurs to me now that I might have sounded a little rude or condescending possibly. My aloof personality doesn't translate into text well, I guess. And you're right that no one's claiming that, I apologize. Although, do you mean to imply that the Riku Replica is a Seeker of Darkness? Rex Ronald Rilander (talk) 02:05, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Either a Seeker or a tool of the Seekers, like the Vanitas remanifestation. There's no way that thing just popped up in their signature black coat as a random goof. 04:41, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
 * There are indications that he would be a Seeker. For one, he'd have yellow eyes and pointed ears. For two, he would've had these physical traits when he returned to his time, before he died. For three, Master Xehanort would have to use his Keyblade to plant a heart fragment in him so that Young Xehanort would be able to bring him forward in time. If he's from the present, why kidnap Pinoke? Why show his face and leave? Why not say anything? And why wouldn't Young Xehanort be with him? And others have come into possession of black coats. DiZ was able to get one perfectly designed for Mickey and his ears, and I don't think DiZ likes to sew. I get your point about it not being random though, but a logical assumption is still an assumption. Rex Ronald Rilander (talk) 02:44, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Sure, it's possible it's an elaborate ruse. In the mean time, we go with Occam's Razor, and the Razor says that the character referred to by Riku, who gets a memento to his game, is the character we see immediately before that reference and memento, just like with all the other black-coated guys, and most importantly, not an entirely new entity that we would be assuming just kind of disappears with no other effect on the storyline.
 * "For one, he'd have yellow eyes and pointed ears." -- That's an incorrect assumption. Riku's had Xehanort's heart fully in him and not immediately gained yellow eyes and pointed ears, and for that matter, so did most of the original Organization. We cannot assume the yellow eyes as a universal rule.
 * As for the Keyblade thing, he could have done, there's no reason to be sure he didn't, but that's also not the requirement:
 * "There are restrictions to movement through time. First, you must leave your body behind to do it. Then, there must be a version of you waiting at the destination. Upon arrival, you can only move forward as per the laws of time. And you cannot rewrite the events that are destined to happen."
 * There was a version of Riku Replica present -- Riku. And we already know from Days that Replicas are capable of growing hearts.
 * "If he's from the present, why kidnap Pinoke? Why show his face and leave? Why not say anything? And why wouldn't Young Xehanort be with him?"
 * Why do any of those things even if he's not? His behavior was vague and spooky, just like Vanitas's was. Most of what the Seekers said in that game anyway was nonsense, and they just seemed to be trying to spook Sora and Riku, rather than actually accomplish anything (esp. knowing that they can't actually do anything but spook Sora and Riku, as that would rewrite events.) From a meta-perspective -- it's so they have a character from CoM in order to memento that game.
 * "DiZ was able to get one perfectly designed for Mickey and his ears, and I don't think DiZ likes to sew."
 * He took them from Castle Oblivion, and the coats change size to fit their wearer. Riku didn't need to get a new one when he changed form, nor did Xion. 13:08, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I just don't think we have enough solid facts to back this up and that we shouldn't mislead people just because of our personal opinions. We should just say that someone who looks like Riku in a black coat appears in Monstro, and not link to the Riku Replica when saying this. Also, Ansem had possessed Riku's body but he didn't infect him. And while the black coats do change shape when worn, we see that the coat DiZ gives Mickey already has the large ears. Rex Ronald Rilander (talk) 03:01, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I can see why you're antsy about saying it's him without him being directly named, but Riku does immediately talk about the Replica, and the Memento pops up. I feel with the context, we're being less informative by implying that there is a new Riku clone running around with no apparent purpose.
 * "Also, Ansem had possessed Riku's body but he didn't infect him."
 * I don't see where you're getting this distinction from. Xehanort's heart was put into Riku's body, just like with each member of the Organization and with Terra-Xehanort. Some of those, like Terra-Xehanort, responded immediately to the insertion, while others, like Demyx, did not.
 * "And while the black coats do change shape when worn, we see that the coat DiZ gives Mickey already has the large ears."
 * He still says the coats were the ones the Nobodies had worn. He never claims to have made them himself. 05:31, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Less informitive is better than misinformitive, right? Demyx? Where and when was that ever even hinted let alone implied? He could have meant the same type of coats instead of the exact same coats. And didn't I say he didn't make them? Rex Ronald Rilander (talk) 03:38, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I fundamentally disagree with your assertion that it is misinformative. The game is not merely dropping hints -- the script mentions the character, it has him show up in a parallel situation to Vanitas (another dark offshoot of Sora, through Ventus), he's wearing a coat that is specifically designed to link him to Xehanort, and the game follows up the appearance with a memento in the same manner as it follows characters from other games with mementos of those games. Riku never actually calls the character "Riku Replica" to his face, but he never does that in CoM either, so it's not a meaningful criticism.
 * "Xemnas and Xehanort formed the Organization for a specific reason--round up a bunch of empty husks, hook them up to Kingdom Hearts, then fill them all with the exact same heart and mind. Translation--they were gonna turn all the members into Xehanort."
 * He could have, but there's no reason to assume he did. Your original rebuttal was "And others have come into possession of black coats." That may be true, but their source is always traced back to Xehanort -- the Ultimanias even explicitly state that the black coats the Organization wears are derived from the one worn by Xehanort:
 * "Q9: Where did the Organization’s coat and mark come from? / A: Xemnas remembering his human years. / The coat used by the Organization was something that Master Xehanort originally wore." 14:37, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Honest question: Do you think we've been discussing this for too long? OK, I get it. You disagree with me. I'm semi-fine with that. I won't argue the point any further. 'Cause in the end, it's up to you. I've somewhat enjoyed our discussion, but I just can't find the strength to continue. Thank you for alerting me to the revert, though. That was very kind of you. Rex Ronald Rilander (talk) 04:57, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Nah, you've raised some good points. I still disagree, but you should never feel like I "overrule" you on stuff like this -- if you want, post a RfQ on the article's talk page, try to get some more eyes on it. Maybe someone will have a source that conclusively proves my interpretation wrong. 13:22, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Signature
Just so you know, all signatures should contain the user's username. If you'd like, you can read my tutorial on signatures in the magazine (Page 8). 17:26, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you kind sir. However your tutorial led me to this page where a user named LightRoxas did not have his name in his signature. Rex Ronald Rilander (talk) 02:44, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I removed his signature from the list and put a message on his talk page. 16:42, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
