So I closed the thread per [[Tardis:Canon policy]]. Please prepare well before opening the '''validity''' debate proper. And consider also this question: what would you like to propose as valid stories. I may be very wrong as I am very early in the game yet, but I believe, if anything can be considered a story, it is not the whole game. Shouldn't ''The Dalek Invasion of Time'' be one story, ''The Orphans of the Polyoptra'' another story, etc.?

Revision as of 00:06, 6 September 2018
Validity
When it comes to invalidity, this game is currently "guilty until proven innocent" due to the rulings on Legacy in Thread:161867 and Thread:186659. That said, I'd be interested in seeing an inclusion debate about Infinity, since (a) it was explicitly described by the BBC as canon, and (b) the previous rulings on Legacy completely failed to take into account the universally-recognised fundamental difference between story and gameplay. I'm not currently interested in starting such a debate myself, but let this post be a little helper for anyone who eventually decides to do so. – N8 ☎ 13:41, August 10, 2018 (UTC)
- I'd like to argue that Infinity is canon. All the reasons for Legacy not being canon are due to the infinite possibilities of character combinations going into different settings and not being able to narrow down the events. As well as fitting in with the 4 criteria of being canon, each story has a finite happening, not acknowledging the player "moving gems about". I don't see why this can't be in the DWU.

Validity, not canon
So I closed the thread per Tardis:Canon policy. Please prepare well before opening the validity debate proper. And consider also this question: what would you like to propose as valid stories. I may be very wrong as I am very early in the game yet, but I believe, if anything can be considered a story, it is not the whole game. Shouldn't The Dalek Invasion of Time be one story, The Orphans of the Polyoptra another story, etc.? Amorkuz ☎ 00:06, September 6, 2018 (UTC)
