Talk:Meryl Silverburgh (Policenauts)

message: Is Meryl really 18? -User:Psi edit
I looked on various websites it seems most say shes 29
while others say shes in her 20s. -User:Psi edit
The Briefing section in MGS says she's 18. No this isn't "unofficial". --DoubleCross 23:54, May 4, 2005 (UTC)
**I've just edited the MGS version's age from "18" to "teens", but I really need to replay the briefing section, now that you mentioned that. Jonny2x4 11:39, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I've changed it back to teens, since none of the characters in MGS have any specific ages, with the exception of Nastasha, who is 28 or 29 based on her personal backstory (Snake and Ocelot don't count, since they didn't have birthdates until MGS3). All characters are referred as being on their twenties, thirties, forties, fifties and so on. If you read the officially released personal data of Meryl (as seen on Art of Metal Gear Solid and the Millenium Guide ), they referred to her as being on her teens. That could be anywhere between thirteen and nineteen if we interpret it literally, although she is obviously a grown woman and must be in her late teens (17 to 19), but not neccesarily 18.
I concur good job. And nice site you found User:Psi edit
Hey guys, she's 18 years old. The briefing stated it. Changed. user:anonymous
===Watch it===
Okay, mine's busted beyond repair, but surely one of us has the game to hand. Can't they watch the briefing files and see if it flashes up? - Hayter 09:17, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Posted some changes today to the MGS version. I'm thinking though, would it not be better to have seperate pages for the two Meryls? They are obviously different characters and whilst the seperate sections on this page do show that, in the intro the references to both characters, particularly, "Meryl Silverburgh is a fictional character created by video game designer Hideo Kojima. Meryl first appeared in..." This line would suggest the character is the same person in both games which is not the case. At the least, a re-write would seem in order. - Hayter
:Is the Policenauts character called Meryl Silverburgh as well?  Because unless they share the same name, they shouldn't be on the same page.  As it is right now they shouldn't be on the same page.  They're two different characters from two different games.  I move for a separation.  TotalTommyTerror 15:27, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Seperation of Characters

message: The article says that the fans accept Meryl's survival as canonical. Until further games prove this, I submit that her death is canonical. She wasn't seen in MGS2, and if not for some implied lines, not mentioned at all. Furthermore, the character of Solid Snake developes more upon her death in MGS, having submitted during torture and allowed her death at Ocelot's hand. --RevRaven
The article says most fans accept her survival as canon and provides circumstacial evidence to back this up. We won't know either way until the release of MGS4 (assuming it is covered therein) but given the clues dropped by Kojima & Co., it seems more likely that she survived and rather than claiming she is alive, the article reflects this mass assumption and shows its basis. - Hayter 13:12, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Canon has her as being alive.  On top of the fact that the "In the Darkness of Shadow Moses" book on the MGS2 disc says that she is alive (this is canon) there is a conversation you can have between Snake and Otacon on the Tanker mission in MGS2 where they talk about her.  After you defeat Olga on the Tanker, look at her and call Otacon on the Codec.  Otacon then mentions something about Snake's attraction to tomboys and asks about Meryl where Snake replies with that he kind of got tired of her.  This is canon.  Meryl is alive and I'm editing the speculative part about it.  TotalTommyTerror 15:07, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Survival post-MGS

message: *Given that the two articles have only just been seperated, I don't know why the tag's up, but I Oppose re-merging the two. They're clearly seperate characters despite the similarities, and as Bread points out above, the likelyhood is that there will be further information to add on MGS Meryl when MGS4 is released. - Hayter 10:14, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
