I say there's been a ban in place for four years or more, and that this game only confirms the difficulty of considering an RPG as canon. Our lives would simply be easier if we classed RPGs outside our remit entirely, put up an {{tl|nc}} flag on ''WIT'' and work on hammering out a video game policy to better establish what's in, what's out, and why. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">20:53: Fri 23 Mar 2012 </span> | I say there's been a ban in place for four years or more, and that this game only confirms the difficulty of considering an RPG as canon.

{{Quote|'''Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's not a role playing game, I'm saying that it doesn't give a lot of freedom to the player, thus making it very easy to write about the game without including info that the player chooses, like name and such.'''|Myself, just above.}} | |||
:Now, in truth, I never saw why we don't include some RPGs. I mean, hell, I notice we do! I see no marking calling [[Search for the Doctor]] or it's [[:Category:Find your fate novels|series category]] marked as non canon, and that story ALSO includes an unnamed character... (Although arguably I understand that she had a back story and gender) and I notice that an image from it appears in the in-universe part [[Omega]]... | |||
:So, let's look at the official reason we don't call FASA canon... '''"..these [books] sometimes contain histories and other information which conflicts with the television and prose stories."'' That really doesn't fit with this as a reason... Hey, if this is our reason, can we mark [[Lungbarrow]] as non-canon too? | |||
:In truth, I don't see exactly WHY they aren't canon.. In some cases, where the canon contradicts TV canon to a point of annoyance, we can use that over-used-yet useful phrase ''"One account suggests...'''... | |||
:Plus, I see no indication that we made FASA not cannon other than because it contradicted other stuff... And sense WIT hasn't, I see no reason to make it nc. [[User:OttselSpy25|OS25]] ([[User Talk:OttselSpy25|talk to me, baby.]]) 21:53, March 23, 2012 (UTC) | |||
