[edit] Open gaming
If any editors familiar with Fudge, and with "open gaming" in general, would like to visit the Talk:Open gaming page and participate in the current discussion, your time and expertise would be greatly appreciated. -- BBlackmoor (talk) 19:41, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] FUDGE name
The name "Fudge" hasn't been an anagram for the last two published versions of the game. I'll be editting things accordingly.E.T.Smith 05:35, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
- I've fixed everything but the main title, which still uses the outmoded all-caps version of the name. Would someone with more Wiki-skill than me please see to this?E.T.Smith 05:35, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
For one thing, FUDGE was never an anagram (anagrams are words or phrases made by rearranging the letters of another word or phrase: ie. "A decimal point" - "I'm a dot in place"), FUDGE is an acronym, and technically should be written F.U.D.G.E. but FUDGE like the title can do just fine. If you wanna change it (which I don't see being necessary) use the MOVE command. Cyberia23 08:38, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry, got the similar words mixed up. The point still stands though, that though the name may once have been an acronym, it no longer is and this article should reflect that. Thank you for showing me how to amend it accordingly.68.39.72.108 19:55, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] FUDGE was SLUG?
Are we sure about this? I thought they were two different games; there's not a lot of overlap in the rules. 203.113.232.209 22:34, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
Yep. The SLUG that now exists is a recycling of the name, but the project that became Fudge was also originally referred to as SLUG. As I recall, Steffan felt that Fudge suffered from committee-written bloat, and that SLUG (the second) is what Fudge should have been. Or something to that effect. If I can find where he said that, I'll put it in the article, though it's likely in the chunk of Usenet history that's been removed from the Deja Goo archives (including the article where Steffan put Fudge in the public domain and then retracted it, the supposed reason for the de-archival. Which is a whole 'nother can of worms.) 207.178.110.185 02:34, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
