 * 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)
 * I've deleted the guide, as you haven't responded with enough evidence that it's a video game to justify keeping it. If you want to restore the guide and continue work on it, we'll need clearly-worded proof that it's a real video game, and not a concept or non-video game. --DrBob (talk) 12:07, 5 December 2007 (CST)

Going behind the back of the community...
Is definately NOT the way to get approval for Lunar Boom Town. As it's been stated in community issues, you have been given enough time to expand your guide to better explain the game it represents. Also, please try to use plain English (I tend to ignore sentences that I can't decipher in two seconds after reading it once) when writing your guide. Some things that would definately help your guide along to the point where we may decide not to delete it are:
 * A controls sub-page
 * Proper formatting of all the pages
 * A well-developed toc sub-page so we can see what you are planning the guide to encompass
 * A well-developed description and infobox on the main page

If you include all of those elements, I for one will have a better understanding of the game and may change my mind about allowing it's inclusion here on StrategyWiki. As for the topic of this section, you should know what I meant by that. -- 17:58, 29 November 2007 (CST)


 * Mir, he's talking about the wordpress comment you made on ABXY. You need to understand that everyone who has talked to you so far are actually the administrators of this Wiki.  -- 19:35, 29 November 2007 (CST)
