Talk:Planepacked

Please don't delete it

I removed Karl's code that said "del|Artifact are randomly created, so it's not useful"

I think we should let this one go without deleting it. This is too epic, and I'm usually not one of the people who care about that. Boatmurdered has a stub on here, so I say we should leave this one go until the day someone sees the creation of an even more epic artifact.

And in one sense it is useful. This is the standard by which all other artifacts shall be measured. --Rusty Mcloon 06:35, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

It is the space and time warping, dimension twisting, utterly warped standard. So, totally normal for dwarves. --Zchris13 18:24, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Seriously, this deserves it's own page. Hell, if it were up to me, I'd give it several pages. That's how epic it is. --Smartmo 15:28, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Seriously? Is a wiki for personal glory, or information? What "information" is this? That glitches can happen? I'm not saying delete it, but don't pretend it somehow "deserves" a spot any more than any game log does. Like boatmurdered. If every "epic" fortress and artifact and episode and story and dwarf and battle had their own page... yeah. It's unique, and somehow it demonstrates... something, I guess - but other than that it is kinda pointless.--Albedo 12:56, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

'personal glory'? Whose person? The article is about Planepacked anyway, not its originator despite your jadedness about the matter, and really, it could have happened to anyone.

I really don't understand the attitude that fun has no place in the wiki. Obviously we don't have or want every "epic" artifact and it is not your kvetching that keeps them out, have a little sense of proportion. This is not an academic paper! This is a wiki about a video game for which we're sharing secrets and stories and enjoying the hell out of, and the game highlights you complain about are a good portion of what makes the wiki actually worth reading and the game worth playing to anyone who hasn't yet. --Corona688 13:40, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Anyone else amused by the name? I mean, it's just plain packed with every concevable ornamentation. Except cheese. - to avoid the pain, I shall attempt to remain nameless. (unsigned by Teres Draconis)

Good Lord

It has a picture of itself on it. The damn thing's fractal. Lymojo 05:02, 2 May 2009 (UTC) Lymojo

It doesn't have just one picture of itself on it... it has itself carved on it 73 times! Almost all of these carving are in limestone, too. It could very well be fractal. --Smartmo 15:24, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
