I am so fucking awesome --Perfection 17:39, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

You are so not. -From the folks at CFC OT

You don't speak for CFC OT you crazy anonymous user! CFC OT loves me!

--Perfection 20:29, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

We do? MarineCorps 04:14, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Of course we do. Now Bow, BOW! Ybbor 00:50, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

But I HATE Perfection! Ok, that's a lie. But I agree his ego is way too big. --PrinceScamp 02:52, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Can someone add something about the SF Three?

[edit] Vandalism

Looks like this page has already been vandalised a few times. Meleager 22:20, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Someone deleted Giant Death Robots, can they explain why? --Perfection 23:52, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Someone wiped out the forum information along with the new page I had created for them - Meleager (at UNI)

Re deleting the Giant Death Robots? - because its an unimportant minor detail?

I disagree, it's among the most common of in-jokes among CFCers --Perfection 07:38, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Re deleting the GDR? - Because its irrelavent to the forum culture that encompasses Civilization? Maj_Kusanagi (AKA CivGeneral)

Why must we only talk about the Civ Details? --Perfection 07:38, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

The article is about the site and not about the game and since the GDR is a oart of the forum it should be included. MarineCorps 14:08, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

That's what I'm thinking, if I hear no objection in the next 24 hours I'll repost it with GRM

hmmm... Well, my comments objecting to the GDR keep getting deleted.

Who are you? It would be helpful if you had a handle either on CFC or wikipedia --Perfection 07:23, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

The GDR should remain off of the article since it just does nothing but expands Perfection's ego. Maj_Kusanagi (AKA CivGeneral)

The question isn't if it will or will not expand my ego, the question is is it an important enough part of the subculture to warrant mention. --Perfection 07:23, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

It's a funny joke but it isn't nearly as important as GRM --MarineCorps 23:32, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

I'll agree there but that's not the issue. The issue is does it have a significant enough effect on CFC subculture to warrant mention. I would argue that it does. --Perfection 02:39, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

I would disagree. I rarely see it mentioned on the forums whereas GRM is seen and mention quite a bit. MarineCorps 23:37, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

That appears to be the consenses... ...oh well, I tried --Perfection 01:27, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

For the record, I don't have a problem with GDRs, as long as they are done proffessionally - Meleager (at UNI)

GDRs are not very common it seems to me, althoguh I admit I am not on the forums and OT very much anymore. I want to know why there is no mention of the Radioactive Monky though, everyone knows about it.--PrinceScamp 04:02, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Thank you to whoever added the GRM. I added and/or "joke" after the "other" as it is used for that a lot too.--PrinceScamp 04:33, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NES Stuff

We're certainly getting a lot of NES stuff, do you think that it is becomming disproportionate? --Perfection 07:29, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

I've posted a link to the this Wikipage in the NES Forum, and we NES'ers are more then happy to make our contribution. I don't think that it's too large (yet), but there has to be limits to it. We'll see how this developes. - Reno

Maybe we should take out the Crazy NESer part, as it's specific anyway. - MjM

Alright, i've taken out the part about Genocidal NES'ers. - Reno

One thing that we could do is put it in it's own section. --Perfection 14:48, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Why bother...? The GOTM and the like, are already under the "Other Activities" healine. Why split it any further? - Reno

K

Perhaps we could divy it up into subsejctions like our forums discription is. It's rather disorganized the way it is now --Perfection 20:06, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

If the NES part grows further, it may warrant an Wiki entry on its own.

I don't think that NESing is a large enough activity for it to warrant a page of its own, is there NESing on any other site? --128.101.76.180 20:05, 21 March 2006 (UTC)(Perfection)

There was some at Poly, but I think that has died down. But besides, there are wikipages about much unknown things then NES too. - Reno

Hmm, this is definitely getting a bit large. Perhaps we should cut this down to a bare summary and split the majority off into a new article? I'd nominate Reno for that. -Thlayli

Any action regarding this should be kept off for a while. There is a thread currently in the NES forum to discuss this matter.

I disagree that this section should be here at all - no sources (can they be supplied?), and totally non-notable. Mdwh 21:36, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Demogame Stuf

I added the positions CFC finished in for both ISDG and MSDG, as well as fleshed out how those competitions were played. - Krill

[edit] Info from Soren Johnson

Some information can be added from [1]; see [2] to reference it. I'll work on it when I have the time if nobody else does. TimBentley (talk) 04:28, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup-AFD

My read of the AFD discussion is that the topic is suitable for Wikipedia. But multiple editors in the AFD also said that the article needed cleanup, primarily from better sourcing.

While Wikipedians are currently discussing a massive rewrite of our standards on sources, right now Wikipedia:Verifiability is the policy and Wikipedia:Reliable Sources is the most expansive coverage of the standards. Wikipedia:Attribution and Wikipedia:Attribution/FAQ may replace these, so using either for guidance is appropriate. GRBerry 14:19, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
