Talk:Guardians of Order
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Is Guardians of Order Dead?
I pulled the claim that "Dozens of artists and other freelancers are left unpaid for work on many products." It's unsourced, I can't find any compelling evidence online. Given the severity of the claim, it needs some sort of evidence. If someone is looking to dig up that evidence, [1] here seems to be the place to start. Alan De Smet | Talk 04:32, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
On User talk:Alan De Smet, User:Mance basically says that the forums look pretty solid (to which I agree), so what should we do. My opinion: For now, just wait. I don't think this is newsworthy enough to report. And being forum posts, who knows. The George R. R. Martin post could be faked. I'm content to wait; in a few months there should be some more concrete answers. That said, I won't particularlly object if someone else writes up, provided it's carefully phrased to be clear this is primarily hearsay. Perhaps something along the lines of "There are online reports that no one has been able to contact GoO. These reports include claims that George R. R. Martin has been unable to." Then link to the two relevant forum threads. Alan De Smet | Talk 03:23, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I just checked out your edit on the Guardians of Order page, and I fully agree with your reasoning in removing the uncited information for 2006. However, it's sad to say that for the most part, the information in that article is true--if you travel to GoO's website and check their forum (particularly the AGOT section, at the top), you can see different authors and artists that worked on that project coming forward, and even an email from George R R Martin, the creator of the series off which the game is based. But since forums don't count as verifiable sources according to Wikipedia, it creates a problem on citation--what do you think we should do?-Mance 00:34, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps one could at least reference the fact that the last time the website appears to have been updated with company news was February, and several shipping dates on the company iCal have lapsed without product or news.
By popular demand, I've added a section on GoO being unresponsive. Given that the information isn't terribly verifiable I've tried to put it in the most general, uncertain terms. It could probably use an overhaul, but I believe the current wording is more supportable than the old version I pulled. As an added bonus I tried to flesh out the main body.
