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.

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. [[User:Tjr|Tjr]] 17:26, September 3, 2009 (UTC)

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)
