Talk:Player (game)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yes, Mike, you wrote this page, but you do not own it. Your game does not belong in such a general article, even if you wrote it mainly as an excuse to link your game. Isomorphic 08:37, 25 Apr 2004 (UTC)

I'm amazed by your audacity.

Verified facts:

1. I wrote this page.

2. I linked to Ambition on this page.

Your conclusion: I wrote this page as an excuse (your words) to link to Ambition, as if I had no other motives.

Have I linked every page I've written to Ambition? No. Of course not. That would be inappropriate. I've kept well within the bounds of topicality. I could, theoretically, post a link to my game on any page, and then it would get a hell of a lot of hits. I could, theoretically, put " GO HERE! A GREAT CARD GAME!" at the top of September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, knowing that page gets a lot of hits. But I don't, because it would be entirely tasteless, crass, wrong, insulting, and egregious attention-whoring.

This page is a different story, because the reference is actually useful to the article.

And no, I didn't write this page as an excuse to link to Ambition. I wrote this page to write the page, and linked to Ambition because I could while staying topical. Mike Church 08:46, 25 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Why does this exist? --Macarion 01:09, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Yah why does this exist? More importantly, however, I am linking sports players to this page as well. Player (game) shoud not just refer to card/board games, but to sports games as well. Can somebody please fix this? --Gregorof 01:35, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
