User talk:Knowledge Incarnate/RP[edit]

I'm sorry to do this, as I'm sure these chaps think it's a great deal of fun, but this is being advertised as an MMPORG, which is not appropriate for userspace. Fritzpoll (talk) 13:27, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - well, per nom. There isn't much more to say; WP:UP#Games specifically forbids these things. Plus, they are spamming messages about it everywhere... —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 13:46, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was afraid something like this would happen. I tried telling people that its not a real game.-Knowl -<(I am questing for Knowledge!) (talk) 15:57, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, so what is it? Because there's invitations all over the place to "join" your "MMORPG", which is less than clear. If you explain, maybe the discussion can be more informed... Fritzpoll (talk) 17:27, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I did not authorize those ads wherever they are. Its not an MMO. Its a fun format for my user page. Other people wanted to use it too and are obviously taking it a bit too seriously. -Knowl -<(I am questing for Knowledge!) (talk) 19:13, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh dear, that is a shame. I sort of see where you're coming from now, but I'm afraid the fact that others have been muddling it up has prompted this. Perhaps you can keep it up via userboxes? Fritzpoll (talk) 22:05, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That was in fact the original reason I made user boxes for people to use, so they would not misrepresent the intent of the "rules" section. A careful read of the rules would have revealed that there are in fact no real rules at all and they constantly change as they are edited. This was part of the joke.

*Delete per nom. Ironholds (talk) 17:26, 26 February 2009 (UTC) Keep, blanked. Ironholds (talk) 06:51, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I'm sorry, but we already have specific policy against this type of thing. Little Mountain 5 21:22, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Change to keep, the page game was erased by the author. Little Mountain 5 22:59, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as now blanked. Collect (talk) 21:31, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as I have now changed the page. -Knowl -<(I am questing for Knowledge!) (talk) 00:27, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep was revealed as a hoax, and is no longer eligible under WP:UP#Games. Yellowweasel (talk) 02:02, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would not call it a hoax. The "game" was just a joke format for the user page that people took too seriously.-Knowl -<(I am questing for Knowledge!) (talk) 02:06, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Withdraw - Nominator has clarified purpose of page over the course of this discussion Fritzpoll (talk) 08:14, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
