Talk:Undead Lich

I think the spoiler warning is a little bit absurd. There are so many pages with plot spoilers on GuildWiki (almost all the mission guides for instance), I'd rather put that warning on the front page. --84.175.88.52 19:01, 10 Jul 2005 (EST)
 * I disagree. There are a lot of spoilers here, but I've noticed a large amount of [secrecy on forums] about Undead Lich, simply because he is "teh last guy".  Personally, I don't mind having stories "spoiled" for me.  I read all the spoiler reviews about each Star Wars movie before going to see them in the theater.  But, for some reason that I don't entirely understand, a lot of people like to delay surprises until "the right time", whatever they think that is.  00:32, 11 Jul 2005 (EST)
 * I do agree that the spoiler warning is unnecessary. If someone comes to this page then they either tried to get here or they followed links that explain something about the plot, so they're reading the plot anyway. If we have a plot warning on this page then by rights we should have a plot warning on every plot related page. This would include every post-searing page; who wants to have the searing spoilt for them?
 * I dont think any spoiler warning is necessary anywhere on the wiki. It's common knowledge that a wiki is a knowledge base. And if that's not apparent beforehand it should be apparent after a minute of browsing :) I didn't read any of the pages regarding any of the missions before I had completed them because I don't like having the plot spoiled. If other people feel the same way then they can do likewise. And for the record I didn't trust Vizier Khilbron from the start! :P 03:38, 11 Jul 2005 (EST)


 * I think the spoiler warning on this page is a good thing to keep. As was mentioned, finding out that the Vizier who has been helping you along all this time is really the Lich is quite a surprise. LordKestrel 07:03, 11 Jul 2005 (EST)


 * And now this talk page needs a spoiler warning too. :) MartinLightbringer 07:23, 11 Jul 2005 (EST)


 * Lol, exactly Martin! :P You might want a surprise as to the AL of the next town, should we put spoiler on that too? :P 07:35, 11 Jul 2005 (EST)


 * I think a spoiler warning is necessary anytime you are going to reveal something that is one of the surprises of the plot. For example, if you are writing the article about the Unseen Ones, you state that they are the gods of the White Mantle and then you mention that they are also known as the Mursaat. Then in the "Mursaat" article you place a spoiler warning. This way if someone doesn't want the plot to be spoiled he would know what the unseen ones are but would stop (if they like) before discovering what they really are. It's just something decent to do. I know there are many people to whom the plot isn't that big of a deal (making his 3rd level 20 character in 2 weeks, sick and tired of the plot) but to others it matters. --Karlos 12:11, 11 Jul 2005 (EST)


 * Well, that's fair enough, but as someone to whom the plot does matter, I'm not particularly fussed by spoiler warnings. If you don't want the plot spoiled, don't read pages on topics you haven't encountered yet. Thats what I did. If other people are careless enough to do otherwise then I don't think they have a right to complain. 20:58, 11 Jul 2005 (EST)

I think the spoiler warning is a big too small. Dammit! I hadn't gotten that far yet. :( Actualy, I guess it really wouldn't matter how big it is, as I always browse the wiki in the diff view.  Why did an anonymous person have to edit this page? &mdash;Tanaric 16:08, 17 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * Heh. I guess we could start marking the anonymous entries as patrolled.  --Fyren 16:16, 17 Aug 2005 (EST)
