Talk:NetHack quaffing game
For some reason I'm not very keen on this article... --paxed 08:15, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
I don't like it either, but I think we should mention it in some form. Perhaps add noone will get anywhere in-game while drunk, and a habit of drinking alone is very dangerous (friends on chat counts as alone) and clearly in the minority. For now, I'm just going to watch. -Tjr 22:49, September 1, 2009 (UTC)
I apologize for creating a problem. I have been playing some version of the Nethack Quaffing Game unofficially with friends locally and online for years, and I thought it was nice to make it official after playing with some new people and getting into adding to wikihack. However, I understand your qualms about the subject and have removed all links to Nethack Quaffing Game from the wiki aside from one on my personal page. Popscythe 21:50, September 2, 2009 (UTC)
The article isn't done yet, but it already looks quite a bit better. External links are removed and I even added a humorous and yet effective disclaimer. Popscythe 22:20, September 2, 2009 (UTC)
- Hmm, thinking it over, I apologize for ruining your fun.
- As to the external links, I'm adding a rather general note to cheating and unofficial conduct. They should be general enough not to "fan-pollute" the wiki, as explained on User_talk:Ray_Chason#Nethack_Quaffing_Game. In a certain sense, the drinking game is nothing but an unofficial conduct, though quite different from the ones already listed there.
- The wiki does tend to get to enough traffic to warrant promoting (good?) ideas here in adaequate form, in addition to rgrn.
- However, I still feel very uncomfortable with endorsing "drinking alone", and you certainly won't get me to participate. On the other hand, it's not the wiki's job to mother people.
- I propose to add a clear warning you are effectively drinking alone, to polish the article a little bit, and to treat the drinking game just like every other popular unofficial conduct. Tjr 17:32, September 3, 2009 (UTC)
- On a third thought, perhaps I shouldn't do anything until we have consensus. I'm im favor of adding to unofficial conduct and to cheating#probably cheating respectively:
House rules You can set up house rules with your friends, not only what you can do in-game, but also how you "have to" play. This can be as unrelated to Nethack as a drinking game.
* Violating house rules you have set up with your friends.
