Improving this page

I found discussions elsewhere about wholesale removal of content on this page (although, surprisingly, not in the Talk:Pirateer) so I thought it might be controversial to make changes.

What I want to do is provide more information about the GAME -- variants, game play, versions, more reviews -- to bring it up to the standards set by other board game articles. I'm doing my research now and will provide references.

I don't plan to change much that's already there (enough drama, thanks) except where I find actual errors.

I haven't done a lot of Wikipedia editing (just a minor fix here and there) so this will be interesting... Davemenc2 (talk) 01:00, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Major Updates

As mentioned back in November (some of us are slow), I have made major changes to this article. The most important things I did was greatly expand the information about the game.

Significantly reduced the information about one of the game companies that published a version of the game and a lawsuit that involved the designed. I know this was a bone of contention and I hope this isn't too controversial. But this in article about the GAME, not a lawsuit. If you want an article about the Mendocino Game Company then write one...

I took the liberty of removing the the "stub" marking. I know this is a little presumptuous of me as a neophyte but I don't think there is much else you can say about a game. If you disagree, please give me some suggestions about how to improve this and I'll try to accommodate. Davemenc2 (talk) 15:39, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this a Stub?

I guess it doesn't matter but as near I can tell, it's a C or maybe event a B class. Maybe the automatic assessment just hasn't checked it yet?

I should problem mention (it is one of the criteria of B class articles) that I had to pull some of the references from questionable sources. For examples, the rules published in the game, the information on the back of the box and, for the version information, a interview in a forum post on Board Game Geek. In defense of these source, that information was published NOWHERE but in head of the designer. But he should be a reliable source of information. And it's pretty useful information if, for example, you collect board games (yes, it's a thing).

My guess is that very few people care about this so I'm not going to take the heat that I fear. But if I'm wrong, so be it. It's a better article today than it was Friday and we have to pull some of it, it will still be better. Davemenc2 (talk) 13:21, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
