Talk:Role-playing video game/Archive 3

message: I think a failure to merge the console and computer RPG articles has set back this group of articles back substantially. Especially this main RPG video games article. This article should be one of the most important video game articles by far. People who come to wikipedia to learn about RPG video games will come to this article, but they'll leave without any real understanding of the genre. The article has very little information. Incidentally, this failure to merge has also set the console and computer RPG articles back, as they're full of WP:OR violations.
We have an article called cultural differences in role-playing video games. I think that's a far better way to discuss the different variations on RPGs than to have two separate articles. (And as a side note, the console / computer distinction breaks down anyway: Final Fantasy, Ultima, and Fable have all been developed for both platforms. It really is about cultural differences, rather than console versus computer.)
In other words, it's better to organize the role-playing game articles as "similarities vs differences" rather than "console vs computer" (let alone east vs west). The similarities should be addressed in this article, with a healthy link to the "differences" article. Randomran (talk) 05:00, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Center for Bio-Ethical Reform

message: "The CBR has controversially compared Nazi genocide victims to aborted fetuses, in the context of its "Genocide Awareness Project." This infers that CBR is comparing pro-choice activists to Nazis. They have also been criticized for their use of a sixteen year old definition of genocide."
The last sentence needs a reference and an explanation about why using a definition from Webster’s New World Encyclopedia is wrong. Frankly, the definition of genocide has grown not narrowed, from its definition of solely killing an ethnic/religious group to include socio-economic groups (Cambodian Genocide) and even cultures (Aboriginal groups in Canada).
It's essential to know who has made this criticism and why their criticism warrants recognition on this wiki page, otherwise this is just a throw-away sentence that should be thrown away.

Talk:Cheating (biology)

message: Supposedly, "killer" Africanized bees are a result of the differences between the biological relationships between humans and honeybees in Africa and elsewhere. In other parts of the world, notably Europe and America, honeybees have a symbiotic relationship with human beekeepers, who take honey but provide a safe hive and protection for bees. African honeybees have developed to deal with humans "stealing" honey rather than beekeeping, and as a result are more aggressive.
The difference between human/honeybee relationships in Europe and America, and those in Africa, seem to form some kind of example regarding cheating. --FOo 08:14, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

message: In biology, cheating is a form of social behavior in which the cheater refrains from cooperation and thereby gains a fitness benefit. He exploits the cooperative behavior of others, but the term is not interchangeable with exploitation. Resource exploitation such as herbivory and predation are not social behaviors and it does not make much sense calling them a form of cheating.

thread_title:  Cheating is...

message: The Prisoner's dilemma is a tit for tat strategy that helps to avoid cheaters. When one organism cooperates, the other cooperates. When one organism cheats, the other organism cheats. 
This is incorrect. A "Prisoner's dilemma" is a type of a game (situation), not a strategy. "Tit for tat" is a strategy where a person chooses the same strategy as the other person in the game in the previous round. In a static setting "When one organism cooperates, the other cooperates. When one organism cheats, the other organism cheats" is a description of a game characterized by multiple equilibria and coordination failure - which is not a characteristic of a Prisoner's Dilemma.
The examples given in the section are also not examples of a PD (and appear to be incorrect even in their own context, for example "Producers benefit when scroungers are common. " - this seems to be wrong (the model appears to be the same as a classic rent-seeking model in economics)).Volunteer Marek (talk) 20:55, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

In Crime Traveller time-travelling is used to find out who did the crime or to gather evidence. It is about detection, not law enforcement. Also it is much more amateur, not government-organized.

Talk:List of ReBoot episodes

message: It's kind of a minor issue, but the episode names are kind of inconsistent with the names actually included in the beginning of each episode. A lot of it is just the addition of "The" in front of some episode names, but there are other minor things. I assume the names were taken from here , the official ReBoot website (although oddly enough the welcome page bills it as "The Official Fansite". I guess Mainframe is not aware what the term "fansite" usually implies. Also, I can't seem to get to that site from Mainframe's homepage). I find it odd that Mainframe would have an official name for an episode, and then when they include the title at the beginning they chose not to use the official name.
Any thoughts?
Also, I'm pretty sure that "The TIFF" should be changed to "The Tiff" (the way it is spelt on the official site). I think the reference to the filetype was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek, as the filetype has nothing to do with the episode, while the regular meaning of the word ("petty argument") is central to the episode. The currentl version is unnecessarily blatant. So I'm changing it.Smooth Nick 02:41, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
