Talk:Darksword

message: In the section "The nine mysteries" - Earth - is the word "alcamists" a misspelling of "alchemists" or is it a term used in the book?  --zandperl 02:27, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Given that this criticism was lodgsd in 2007, and going on over 12 years there still few sources cited for this article, I suggest that th characterization of Simkin in the article is adequate. Even if Darksword Adventures was cited, the bracketed material would not invalidate the characterization of Simkin. Simkin would think that you are playing a game, his interpretation of life - "pon my honor."47.137.185.72 (talk) 04:47, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  "alcamists" spelling? 

message: I have removed the entire section on the Causes of the Iron War. Initially, I attempted to rework the horrible grammar in the section, but gave up and simply removed it due to its extreme incoherence. The section is preserved here. I would be appreciative of any efforts to rewrite this more coherently, as it is beyond my meager capabilities.
The initial cause of the Iron wars is attributed to the constant battle for supremacy of the empire between two city-states (Merilon and Trandar). Another underlying cause was the increasing rate at which the Technologists developed. In the initial stages of the war, it was conducted on the Field of Glory, where no actual killing took place. As the war got out of hand, the battleground shifted to Thimhallen itself.
The technologists were creating machines for war and were paid a great amount of Life (magic) for their construction, which in turn allowed the technologists to create even more powerful war machines.
At the end of the war with Trandar destroyed and Merilon weakened the Bishop said to his people, "you have been duped by the sorcerers of the Dark arts into helping them take over the world, now we shall  destroy them their machines and cast them into Death."
After this technologists were forced to live in the outland or risk being cast beyond.

thread_title:  removed Causes of the Iron War section 

message: I recently edited this article, noting that spoilers follow in the section on the characters. I admit that simply writing "SPOILERS" was not the best way to do it. But why did the person who reverted it refer to it as "vandalism"? Pointing out that spoilers follow hardly strikes me as vandalism; in fact, such a note might be helpful to those who don't want something spoiled. So I wanted to ask, what's the reasoning behind calling this vandalism? If I did something wrong, I'd like it explained rather than just be given a label. If it's for another reason, that should be made clear. Thank you. 154.20.158.94 (talk) 05:06, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Wiki policy states (somewhere) that due to the nature of an encyclopedia, spoilers should be assumed and thus a spoilers tag shouldn't be necessary nor used.  I don't know where it's stated so I can't quote it for you or link it to you, but that's why they removed spoilers.  As for why they called it vandalism, probably because they're a tool on a Wiki power trip (this is a common disease).168.122.64.125 (talk) 18:57, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

(watch, they will tell me that "talk pages are not a forum". Wiki admins are predictable as gravity. 47.137.185.72 (talk) 04:53, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spoilers and supposed "vandalism" 

message: This page has multiple issues as I see it which should be corrected.
There are a number of spelling and grammatical errors, which I shall try and fix. Parts of the article are written in essay form, there are an absurd numbers of run-on sentences, and most of the sections could be reformatted and trimmed down from the block of text they are now. There are also a number of editor opinions. --Pstanton (talk) 22:13, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Finally, after reading it over a few times, I think the main issue is that the character section is far too long and too detailed, and not well written. It needs to be cut down to the relevant facts and re-written for better structure. --Pstanton (talk) 22:29, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Issues with this page 

message: I have read all of the books affiliated with Darksword. I can think of no place where they are affiliated with "magi". Thay are called "practitioners of the Dark Arts, Technologists, or Sorcerers". When Saryon first glimpses Dark Art book in the Font's Inner Library, he sees descriptions of wheels and pulleys - not magical tools. Have I missed where the "joiners of life (male-female missionary sex was also forbidden in Thimhallan) were official "magi"? 47.137.185.72 (talk) 05:16, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
