What's In Today's Issue?


Hello and welcome to another issue of The Weekly Custard (getting one step closer to becoming weekly every month!), in today's issue we have a few of our regular segments; Wiki News and an Interview - this time with -TwinkieReborn-! In addition to this, this week we have the CPWCU Tidbits! segment, so please stick around and have a read of this new issue!

Wiki News


This past week on the Wiki has been a doozy!

While nothing much has occurred throughout the week, one MASSIVE occurrence has taken place; Callum Fawsitt has been globally blocked across the entire Wiki Network, you can read more here: http://clubpenguin.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:CustardTheWikiBird/The_EMERGENCY_Weekly_Custard_-_August_5th,_2016.

Other than that, Matthew.fitzgerald.16 has gone away for a while, so you may be noticing a lack of patrolled pages!

-TwinkieReborn- Interview


Custard: So Twinkie, you've only recently made your comeback on to this wiki, how do you feel about it's current state? (How it has been since your return)

-TwinkieReborn-: Rating it from 1-10, I'd give it a 4. This wiki has been great the last 4 years I've been here, but the quality is just going down, and we're losing too many people, so I'd say it's not too great in the state it's in. We're still keeping an alright amount of users, but we just can't get many more now. Unfortunately, I think it won't make it another year. The Wiki is basically a ghost town almost.

Custard: So as mentioned prior, you recently made your comeback, on a scale of 1-10, how would you rate the difficulty of getting your new chance on the Wiki?

-TwinkieReborn-: Honestly, I'd say a 5. It was easier than I was expecting, but the stress of getting an answer kind of weighed down my expectations. I first PM'ed Wata and he somehow basically already figured out it was me before I even said much. So from that point on I started asking about being allowed back, and over the next few days the admins talked back and forth I'm assuming.

Custard: When it was announced who you really were, how did you feel people reacted? Were you pleased by their reaction or a bit saddened?

-TwinkieReborn-: There were a few skeptical responses, but I didn't notice too much negativity in the reaction from the users. I can confirm I've seen a lot of "he's twinkie?" but I didn't really care. I just kind of brushed it off and let it take its own path.

Custard: If you were to choose your favourite "era" of the Wiki, which would it be and why?

-TwinkieReborn-: If I had to pick, I'd choose 2013-2014, mainly because that's the majority of my time on the Wiki, and the chat was still a lot more active, those were some good times. =]

Custard: Now let's deal with the elephant in the room, when you first heard news of Callum Fawsitt's global block, what did you think?

-TwinkieReborn-: Hmm... I don't really know, I think I was just kind of shocked to hear an admin getting blocked, but I don't really know what I was thinking specifically.

Custard: How do you feel about POTM [Penguin of the Month]?

-TwinkieReborn-: I've always seen it as sort of a useless idea. I don't really look at the home page that often, so I'm clueless at who the current one is. If I had the option to remove it, I probably would.

Custard: How do you feel about our Vote Page? Do you find it useful and an effective way to get ideas for the Wiki across?

-TwinkieReborn-: I think it's a great idea. The only inconvenience I see about it is waiting for an admin to get on to confirm it, but that's not too big of an issue. Just takes up more time if there's no admin on. Other than that, it's great.

Custard: It's a relatively hot topic, do you feel the Wiki should gain a new admin or keep the current roster? If so, why? If not, why not?

-TwinkieReborn-: I think a new addition to the admin family would be great to bring some extra life into the wiki. If we could have a vote for the new admin, that'd be great. Say a vote between you, Hyper, and Austin. Those are fairly good choices. [sic]

Custard: And now it's time for one final question! Could you ever see yourself looking to gain any rights in the future? i.e. Patroller, Rollback, Chat Moderator, Admin etc. ?

-TwinkieReborn-: Hm.. Maybe? If we ever lost a chat mod I might look into taking the place, but right now I'm just gonna stay in my place where I am now.

Custard: Thanks for your time, Twinkie!

And that's it for the interview! I decided to change it up this week by making it a little longer, plus focusing on the Wiki instead of Club Penguin, as The Weekly Custard is meant to be. How do you feel about this? Please leave your thoughts in the comments below!

CPWCU Tidbits and Trivia!


Welcome back to the CPWCU Tidbits and Trivia segment! It's been a while since we've seen one of these, but then again, it's been a while since we've last seen a Weekly Custard (sans Emergency).

This piece of trivia is about The Custard Movie!

In the script of The Custard Movie, it is specified that the Hinkonton Housing Agency is on the 16th floor of a building, and this was mentioned in dialogue, however when it came to animation stage, any indication of this was cut, along with the dialogue, the dialogue was fully recorded however, and some parts were retained. The dialogue was as follows:

Custard: What? What is it? Oh right, the window thing? Well I arrived and I found out you’re on the 16th floor and there’s no elevator, I took one look at the stairs and, well, honestly how do you expect anyone to climb that?!

Digby: So instead, you decided to climb the side of the building up to our window…

Custard: Well you had it open so…

The End


Well I believe it's about time to wrap up this week's issue, but please don't forget to leave feedback in the comments below, and let me know if you'd like to be interviewed! People who have been interviewed in the past are now legible to be interviewed, due to the change from Club Penguin-geared questions to Wiki-geared questions. Thanks for reading and see you next week (I hope)!
