This seems like an interesting game, it is not for one person to decide whether it is a worthwhile entry or not. The article should stay.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.163.100.196 (talk • contribs)

• Comment By the same token, it's not for one person (you) to decide it is worthwhile. Everyone who wants one will get a say. Darquis 06:47, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. How about four people? Hornplease 06:06, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Unless, that is, people want to Keep and Merge with Princeton. Happy with that as well. Hornplease

Comment I doubt that this pastime of a few students should be officially related to Princeton University.ßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! - review me 06:41, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Should have specified: that was humour. Ha ha. Hornplease

• Delete I agree, the game sounds interesting, but as it is now, it's not up to Wikistandards. So let's make it five people. Darquis 06:47, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Regardless of if it seems like it was made up in a day, it looks like something that would be awesome to play. I for one am going to try it out right now. Unless it sucks, I say keep it.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 140.180.8.103 (talk • contribs) 23:56, 2 May 2006.

There are far more esoteric and useless entries on Wikipedia than this. At least some people reading this article may be inclined to try out a new game. I see no reason to delete it. At worst, it could potentially be merged with the existing Robopound page. infix 23:08, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. It's a drinking game, after all, and it seems an interesting one at that. Just because it was created this year doesn't mean it should immediately be deleted.

The game is gaining popularity and is already widely played at Princeton University. An article on Flobo should be in Wikipedia. If anything the article needs judicious editing. If there is an article on Robopound there should be an article on Flobo.
