 * I saw you started off the Lunar Boom Town guide. That doesn't exactly seem like a video game to me so I've nominated it for deletion.  This may be more appropriate for  but without knowing more about it, I can't say for sure. -- Prod (Talk) 11:04, 26 November 2007 (CST)
 * I also agree with Prod's nomination for deletion, and unless you can prove that it fits within our scope, it'll be gone a few days from now. -- 15:25, 26 November 2007 (CST)

All I can say is that you should try and get as much work done on the guide as possible before it's deleted. The more we understand, the better LBT's chance of inclusion. -- 05:31, 27 November 2007 (CST)
 * I would actually recommend against that. If it's deleted that's a lot of work lost.  Just try to explain what makes it a video game.  From what I can tell, it seems more like D&D, just that the instructions are online.
 * The best place to look for info is the GUIDE. It has all our "policy" information.  Other than that, just start up a discussion here or on Community issues and we'll work with you to figure it out.  -- Prod (Talk) 08:27, 27 November 2007 (CST)


 * I'd also suggest refraining from using jargon such as "approximately geared synchonizers" when talking to people who have no frame of reference whatsoever. It may be fun for you or mean something to you, but it doesn't help your arguments.  -- 17:30, 27 November 2007 (CST)


 * The debate is simple: Does playing the game in any way involve a CPU, electronic display (monitor, TV, etc.), and some form of electric input (control pad, keyboard, mouse, etc); i.e. does it meet the basic definition of a video game. If it does not, then the game does not meet the criteria for StrategyWiki.  Procyon (Talk) 18:55, 27 November 2007 (CST)


 * If the game takes place on a wiki, then it meets Procyon's requirements. If it's offline, then probably no it won't work.  -- 19:54, 27 November 2007 (CST)
