NIWA Discussion / Re: Usage of Fanon
« on: October 30, 2010, 07:09:31 PM »
Separate from NIWA? That sounds horrible. Why would we do that when we have previously said that NIWA needs to establish itself before we start helping other non-Nintendo franchises to create their own networks and alliances?

Fanon Wikis have their place in NIWA just as the Pikmin Fanon wiki does. NIWA was never billed as "Facts Only" because, let's face it: It's all fiction. I think that if a legitimate and well established and operated wiki on Zelda or Mario or Kirby or Star Fox fanon came around and wanted to join, and measured up to our standards, why not? We've let in Strategy Wiki, and they're not a franchise wiki - they're neither fanon nor are they canonical "Facts" about a series. Should we start a whole OTHER organization for Wikis about stuff like that?

I will always see our failure with Fantendo as the hallmark of what makes bureaucracy horrible. We do not need to separate everything into these neat little categories and label everything and put things in their own special confined little boxes. There needs to be this sense of unity, that after being called "Nintendo" we're all in this together. That's what unifies us.

I don't see a problem with start-up Fanon wikis. I agree that it would keep fanon off of our "facts only" wikis, and keeping these fanon Wikis inside of NIWA alongside their Canon counterparts would be better suited to that end.

Yes, you do bring up a good point. Keeping it together will bring us a sense of unit. That is something I completely overlooked.


Yes, and This will also bring even more wikis to NIWA, expanding its horizon. I agree with the latter comments, but now, why don't we set some Fanon wikis up now? I will contact each canon wiki asking to set up a fanon subdomain. Then we can move all of the Fanon wikis on the main page. If anyone objects to this, speak now or forever hold your peace.

Also, can I be the NIWA Fanon Coordinator or something like that? I have experience with Fanon all the way. If you don't trust me then I will still be just fine. In fact, my first wiki ever was of Fanon.

It's probably better to let the fanon wikis begin naturally. If you create them before there is enough demand for it, the communities will just end up dying.

Super Smash Bros / What is your favorite SSB stage?
« on: October 30, 2010, 02:16:12 PM »
You can list your favorite stage(s) from each game if you've played more than one game.

My favorite is Spear Pillar because of all the effects the Pokemon have on the stage. PictoChat is also fun for smaller groups.

The Lounge / Re: your ultimate crossover?
« on: October 30, 2010, 03:57:20 AM »
I would love to see a Marvel vs. DC Universe game. They've already had some crossovers in comic book form so this has a pretty good chance of materializing some day.

Well, if we want it to run parallel to NIWA, wiki's must agree to it independent of NIWA's authority. Otherwise, it will always be viewed as under NIWA.

True. But I believe we should have seperate Fanon wikis. That way Pikmin Fanon isn't screwed AND people can view Fanon on the games they actually like. No one wants to see n00bish content on that one game that you don't like...

I agree. When I said: "Well, if we want it to run parallel to NIWA", it was referring to an organization of wikis, not just one wiki.

All my pronouns may have made it unclear.

Pikmin / Re: Should I start Pikmin?
« on: October 30, 2010, 02:03:30 AM »
I bought it earlier this summer, but I haven't played it yet. I'm fairly busy right now, but I'm not exactly swamped. Should I start playing it now and play about 1 hour each day, or should I wait until I have a lot of free time and play it all in a weekend or two?

How long is it anyway? I generally don't like to play games when I'm busy because they get pushed aside. Then a month or so later, I'll be in the middle of a game I've forgotten so much about. I guess I can make an exception though if Pikmin is relatively short.

It is relatively short. You must finish the game within 30 days (Pikmin Time: 1 Day: 12 minutes, 6 hours is equivalent to 30 Pikmin Days). Technically speaking, the few cutscenes that are in it take about four minutes. But the strategy may call for a much-used reset button without a plan. But, yeah, you should play it. Then play Pikmin 2, it has unlimited days.

Does it offer enough variety that I can play through the whole game in one sitting or one weekend without getting bored?

I think I remember reading somewhere that the creators of Super Mario Wiki once created a DK Wiki. After some time, they ended up merging because of the great overlap in content. Do I remember this correctly?

make a Nintendo fanon independent wiki alliance? 

I am in favor of this. It should run parallel to NIWA.

Super Smash Bros / Re: Which is your favorite SSB game?
« on: October 29, 2010, 11:18:29 PM »
Brawl is my favorite because Lucas is my favorite character. It's also the one I've played the most so I'm sure there's a big bias right there.

Pokémon / Re: Type combinations you wish to see
« on: October 28, 2010, 12:46:22 AM »
I haven't been paying attention to Generation V - because I don't want to spoil it - but I checked out your link; that Pokemon reminds me a lot of some dragon on Dragon Ball Z.

This one's amazing: http://fantasticcontraption.com/

There's also a sequel, but I think it's better to start with the original.

Pokémon / Re: Who's that Pokémon!?
« on: October 28, 2010, 12:18:28 AM »
Hmmm... there's three that I think might be it.

I'm going to guess Kecleon.

personally, i'd definitely go with option c.

I was sort of leaning in that direction.

Mario / Re: Who wants Donkey Konga 1+2 Re-Released?
« on: October 27, 2010, 10:00:21 PM »
Sure, the game would be cool. However, that name would be confusing. I would keep any peripherals out of the picture for the sake of simplicity. Also, DLC is not always a good thing; many times, it's just a money pit.

NIWA Discussion / Re: Whatever happened to Fantendo and GameHiker?
« on: October 27, 2010, 02:53:02 AM »
Actually, I think Fantendo initially accepted; I believe they even went independent for a while. However, some of their members were displeased, so they returned to Wikia.

The new skin they've implemented has caused many wikis to leave and go independent or to another farm, some have formed an Anti-Wikia Alliance, and some (including their largest wiki) have left.


Out of curiosity, what was their largest wiki?

Am I allowed to copy and paste templates from Wikipedia onto my own wiki? I think it would help a lot if I could borrow their Navbox template. According to their FAQ, it seems like I can (http://tinyurl.com/249uday). I just want to make sure though.

Pokémon / Re: "Official" Worst Pokemon Designs
« on: October 25, 2010, 12:17:19 AM »
I absolutely hate the Generation 4, second-evolution Pokemon:

Tangrowth  - the worst IMO
Magnemite's 2nd evo
Magmortar
Electabuzz's 2nd evo
there may be some others that I can't think of right now
