I am looking for help!

so I am trying to get every intro in AIO. I have Connies, Eugene's, Bernards, Whit's, and I think that is it. Would anyone know which episodes have different intros? I have heard rumors of Phillip Glossman doing one, but I think the person confused Paul McCustcer with Glossman.

You're in my area! If you've seen my pet project going on, I've been cataloging these things like a maniac. See here. My project is far from done, and when it is, it'll be concise.

(From “The Nemesis” and up is virtually accurate.) Those episodes have Whit tinkering with an invention. However, sometimes it does work! Funny. Character intros are (off the top of my head)

• Whit (Altered after Album 51)
• Connie (Altered after Album 51)
• Eugene (Altered after Album 51)
• Bernard
• Tom
• Bart
• Cryin' Bryan Dern (Buddy Guard)
• Wooton (Like a Good Neighbor)

There is no Philip Glossman. Scientific Guy (talk / AIOC Episode Timeline) 14:41, 29 July 2016 (MDT) Thanks! This should really help! By the way, I love the conspiracy you have ;) Arista Maxwell (talk) 07:28, 31 July 2016 (MDT)

Encouragement

About what you said on the Town Hall: Look, you're fine. If you're stressed out, don't be; I think most every user is a newbie when he first starts. If you look at my edits starting from the beginning, I didn't do much, I even uploaded an unneeded file, and got in trouble for posting spoilers. Now look at me. I'm an Admin. That happened over two years. You're doing fine; there's always going to be someone there willing to follow you around and clean up after you. That's me; that's Reddo; that's AIOrocks101. Just keep plodding. Scientific Guy (talk / AIOC Episode Timeline) 15:00, 29 July 2016 (MDT)

You don't know how much this meant to me. I was feeling a little stressed because I didn't know what to do and what not to do, which can be... well, stressful! XD But this was very encouraging to see today. It's good to know that there are other people out there that understand. :) Arista Maxwell (talk) 07:59, 31 July 2016 (MDT)

I am looking for help!

So I am confused about some things. First, I was trying to fix Rachael Woodworth's page because her picture is actually a picture of Donna Barclay. To fix it, I would need a full cover picture for Bad Company. A few days ago, I had found one, but now I can't seem to find the full picture! The only one I've found has been the one with Donna, the police officer, and a tiny sliver of Rachael in the corner. Could anyone help me out with this? Second, I was gonna add some of Bruce Days artwork to his page, but when I typed in the link, it just showed up as a link. No pic. Suggestions? I just want these pages to be complete, concise, and above all, correct. AristaMaxwell (talk) 20:36, 21 August 2016 (MDT)

Hey Arista Maxwell, first, since I haven't talked to you before, I want to say welcome to the wiki. I uploaded the full picture from Bad Company which you can see here. AIOrocks101 (talk) 21:49, 21 August 2016 (MDT)

Thanks, this is exactly what I needed! :·) AristaMaxwell (talk) 07:06, 22 August 2016 (MDT)

I am looking for help!

So my dad has never heard of Eugene Meltsner. I am trying to find a episode that would best show Eugene's nerdyness for him BECAUSE HE IS SOOO MUCH LIKE EUGENE ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY. So does anyone know of an episode that I could let him listen to???????

Skimming over Eugene's episodes, I'd say:

• #51: “Connie, Part 1”
• #100: “Ice Fishing” or #112: “Curious, Isn't It?”
• #265: “War of the Words”
• #276: “Third Degree”
• #366: “Solitary Refinement” (Bernard's daydream scene)
• #441a: “What Do You Think?” (split)
• #???: “Welcome to Whit’s End” (split)
• #669: “Wooton's Broken Pencil Show”

If I had to pick one? Connie, Part 1, undoubtedly. Scientific Guy (talk / AIOC Episode Timeline) 14:48, 25 August 2016 (MDT)

THANK YOU!!!!!! :D AristaMaxwell (talk) 07:54, 26 August 2016 (MDT)

Fanfiction

Could I see some of your fanfiction? --Jesusboy03 (Talk) 16:12, 21 September 2016 (MDT)

--- Sure! Here is a small bit I wrote when I role played Tasha Forbes in a game! Enjoy! Tell me if you like it! ;)

 She turned the corner of the alley and quickly dived behind a stack of old cardboard boxes and bags of trash. The men chasing passed right by the disgusting pile and kept running, assuming she had ran down another alleyway. Tasha Forbes sighed with relief. This was NOT how the mission was supposed to turn out, she thought. The Agency said I would just have to catch the bad guy, not fight off his minions!  As she pondered her predicament, she scanned the alleyway, making sure it was safe enough to get out of the roadside dumpster. Quietly Tasha crept out of the boxes and ran back the way she had come. When she had reached a suitable running speed, she glanced behind her to make sure there wasn't anybody following her. While her attention was diverted somewhere else, she ran straight into someone. She bounced backwards a small bit, then refocused her eyes on the person in front of her. There was a street light behind the form, so it was fairly impossible to make out the face of the person, but the voice was unmistakable. This was the one person she was after! Chills ran up and down her spine as he began talking in a false sweet tone. 

"Well, well, well! If it isn't dear little Tasha! How good of you to come! Oh, but aren't hear for a visit, are you? If Jellyfish has told me correctly, you are hear to catch me? Oh dear. What a tragedy....." "Dr. Blackgaard?!"

Tee dah. XD I will probably get in trouble for posting this. Hope you liked it! (BTW the story doesn't end here) AristaMaxwell (talk) 18:26, 1 November 2016 (MDT)

Nice! You're a talented writer! Jesusboy03 (Talk) 19:09, 1 November 2016 (MDT)

You won't get in trouble; I think this is reasonable enough to have on your User page. Although you should probably move it if you're going to add more Scientific Guy (talk / AIOC Episode Timeline) 18:33, 2 November 2016 (MDT)

I'm glad you liked it Jesusboy03 (Talk) ! LOL okay Scientific Guy (talk / AIOC Episode Timeline) your opinion has been duly noted. (-per Jason Whittaker XD) I will do that - if there's more.<D

AIO Volunteer Team

Just wondering, you said on your user page that you are part of the “AIO Volunteer Team.” What is that? Scientific Guy (talk / AIOC Episode Timeline) 15:25, 26 November 2016 (MST)

It is a group of volunteers that go around telling people about OAC and trying to get people to sign up. That's a lot of what's driving the free trial for OAC. Plus we get info about AIO first, like that in about January, OAC will no longer be OAC. It will be changed to Adventures in Odyssey Club. Spoiler. Earlier this year they were doing signups to be a volunteer so I signed up. At curriculum fairs, if we're in the area, we can help run the AIO booth. :) does that explain it a little? :) AristaMaxwell (talk) 16:50, 26 November 2016 (MST)

Yeah that's fine. Thanks Scientific Guy (talk / AIOC Episode Timeline) 17:09, 26 November 2016 (MST)

Glad I could help :) AristaMaxwell (talk) 10:33, 27 November 2016 (MST)

Hi, Arista! Just wanted to remind you that most stuff that is discussed in the Volunteer Meetings, unless told differently, is secret and exclusive to the volunteers. I'm one of the volunteers, too, so make sure that anything you post here or anywhere else is info that is allowed to be shared. Thanks! Peachey Keen (talk) 15:26, 31 January 2017 (MST)

Thanks for the concern, Peachy Keen, but I think most of the info I share/shared is OK. Only a few things are secret; the others may be shared. Thanks again for the concern though! I'm sorry if I have posted anything that was secret. Do forgive me; I promise it was done innocently. If you ever see something that needn't be shared from me, feel free to Edit my post and take that out. Thanks! :) AristaMaxwell (talk) 15:09, 4 February 2017 (MST)

Hey I made a new userbox ~ OdysseyFan (talk) 06:13, 1 February 2017 (MST)

Arista Maxwell was on the AIOStreetTeam #AIOInsider

That. Is. Awesome. :D high-five! AristaMaxwell (talk) 15:09, 4 February 2017 (MST)

I am looking for help!

So I just got a message that said 'you have a new message from another user'. I was sorta excited because I like new messages. When I click on it though, it sends me to random pages. Now this was really weird because just seconds earlier I had prayed that God would help me find random facts for a quiz I'm doing. Now it's like, did someone just send that - or was it all God?

LOLOLOLOLOL: you just got pranked by the prankster gangster! Go to my talk page and click "edit," look at the top six lines. Scientific Guy (talk / AIOC Episode Timeline) 19:29, 4 December 2016 (MST)

WELL MR. PRANKSTER GANGSTER YOU MIGHT HAVE MEANT IT AS A PRANK BUT IT TURNED ANSWERED PRAYER FOR ME. LOL thanks to your "prank" I was able to complete my quiz! (God really DOES work in strange ways..... LOLOLOL *sticks tongue out at you* XD thanks anyways!!!! AristaMaxwell (talk) 14:34, 5 December 2016 (MST)

No problem. Special:Random or Special:RandomInCategory can help with random pages in the future. Scientific Guy (talk / AIOC Episode Timeline) 15:01, 5 December 2016 (MST)

I am a Pink Sheep fan too. Jason13579 (talk) (Guestbook) (Email Me) 09:35, 15 February 2018 (MST)

AIO Street Team

Hi, Arista! This is Kungfunaomi from Odysseynerds. I'm reaching out to the other people with the AIOStreetTeam userbox as well, I'm requesting information about it to make an article for Odysseynerds. "Getting the scoop", if you will. Let me know if you're interested in interviewing over email, just to answer some questions. FlYiNg FiSh-YoShI SaN (talk) 21:34, 5 December 2017 (MST)

Hi, Kungfunaomi!! That would be fine to email, I believe there is a “email user” thing somewhere on this wiki! I’d love to answer any question you may have! Sorry I didn’t see your message earlier, I’m not on here much. I do have one question though.. are you Mariogeek from Fanfiction? The writer of In The Shadows and Lies? Sorry, I was just wondering, because Mariogeek said their Spotify account was kungfunaomi so I had to ask XD AristaMaxwell (talk) 10:35, 16 December 2017 (MST)

I'm so sorry, I never saw your reply to this because I got two other peoples to do the article! :\ sorry about that. Yes I am the writer of Shadows and Lies, um, did you like them? I was considering deleting those. :) Because they get kinda wacky. But I haven't so far because I've gotten good feedback. Working on a new story right now, in fact, it's going to make more sense than the last ones have.

Haha, it’s fine! Hope you got the info you needed XD Yes, I loved your stories!! I loved how you made all the characters sound so believable, it was truly amazing. I can’t wait for the next one!! One of these days, I might start using Arista Maxwell or something else instead of Awesomegirl to comment with, but whether I do or not, I’ll still be reading and commenting XD AristaMaxwell (talk) 10:04, 23 February 2018 (MST)

YOU'RE AWESOMEGIRL!!?!?!? Holy cow I have laid awake nights wondering who it is!! You will not believe how much I look forward to reviews from you!!! FlYiNg FiSh-YoShI SaN (talk) 16:13, 23 February 2018 (MST)
