I wrote the original "Bad Idea" page, and it's there for amusement. It'd be sad to see the page get removed completely, it would be like not hyperlinking "Don't Panic" in a HHGTTG Wiki. I do wholeheartedly agree that a well written How To Play Nethack To Win page would be very useful. I've been playing forever and I've never ascended (even in the days when you didn't need to kick the Wizard in the balls while holding your left hand behind your back back while whistling dixie in the rain while riding a wilderbeast naked in a field of flowers while being chased by buxom vampiric virgins). --[[Special:Contributions/218.185.63.188|218.185.63.188]] 07:58, 9 June 2009 (UTC) | I wrote the original "Bad Idea" page, and it's there for amusement.

Why was "Playing NetHack when you know you have a lot of other things to do!" removed? I suggest reverting. --Stevko sk 20:13, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
- It doesn't fit the tone of a reference on the subject of Nethack. Although the page "Bad Idea" could be argued to be humorous in nature, every bullet point offers good advice to the player. Putting in an entry that is just a joke does not fit. DemonDoll 20:45, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
Clean-up
Come to think of it, maybe the pages "Bad Idea" and "YASD" and "Lessons learned the hard way" and maybe other should be consolidated under some "General tips" page. They all offer good advice but are sometimes repetitive and hard to find. OH MAN, HERE'S SOMETHING EVEN BETTER!!! OH HERE'S A GREAT IDEA FRESH OFF THE DD RACK!!! We should make a consolidated tips page sorted by player skill! That way a new player won't have to wade through the crap about foocatrices and liches and the godamned drawbridge until he/she needs to which will allow him/her to learn the lessons that are actually needed on the first few dungeon levels. I deserve a cookie for this idea. Thoughts, anyone? DemonDoll 20:55, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
- You don't deserve a cookie for that idea. You deserve a whole batch of cookies. If there's anything a lowly source diver can do to help, let me know. --Kahran042 01:23, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
