KILL KILL KILL KILL... *ahem*. I mean, delete. Wikipedia is not a billboard. DS 01:10, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Worse. It's an ad. How'd I miss this one? Delete, by the way. - Lucky 6.9 16:16, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Not that I'm going to argue with it's being deleted, I'd just like to let you all know that I am a user of the site, and wrote it of my own volition because I like the game and believe more people should know about it. No one asked or paid me to. But, since it obviously doesn't appear that way to anyone else, delete away. And yes, I know my ip is different. I did write the article.

I believe you. And when you genuinely appreciate a commercial product it is very tempting to try to help the company by putting in a mention in Wikipedia—as I did once, ~~for the lovely Maple-Harris Bed and Breakfast in Lancaster, Wisconsin~~ oops, what did I just say? as I said, it's very tempting. It's hard to say just where the line is between being helpful to the reader and being promotional, and I felt this article was over that line. The issue is that it's promotional, not that it's self-serving. Dpbsmith 19:59, 2 May 2004 (UTC) Also, quite a lot of people get the bright idea of promoting their own products by writing Wikipedia articles about them, so some of us tend to have a short fuse about it. Actually, the comment that it is "a near-identical variant of the Wizards of the Coast game Roborally" did strike me as sounding more like the sort of thing a fan, rather than a self-promoter, would write.
