v0.31 Talk:Merperson

"Merpeople have the most detailed raws of any fanciful creature in Dwarf Fortress. This is pointless, however, as they have the [FANCIFUL] tag and will not appear in the game as anything but statues and engravings."

What? I had very often merpeople in my good aligned oceans WITHOUT removing the [FANCIFUL] tag. The [FANCIFUL] tag doesn't remove the creature from the game, as even dragons have it. And most people can verify that dragons exist. :3 I would think that only the [DOES_NOT_EXIST] tag removes the creature from the game (Who had thought by the name of that tag?). So as I proved that the quote above is not true, I remove it.--Niggy 18:57, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

I stand corrected. While correcting things, however, try and rewrite it so it doesn't look like multiple people were correcting one another. That's just awkward. --JohnnyMadhouse 19:09, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Supposedly, [FANCIFUL] just makes it so that everybody knows that the creature exists and will thus be able to depict it in engravings and such, even if they don't have a preference for it. --Quietust 19:54, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

That the [FANCIFUL] tag makes everyone know that thing is nothing new to me. I rewrited the articel, so what have I done wrong?

This isn't a competition, we're not on teams, and no one here is trying to score points off of you. Quietust's response to me about the purpose of the [FANCIFUL] tag was not meant to make you defensive. --JohnnyMadhouse 17:33, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

I didn't wanted to sound angry, I just wanted to point out that I know what the [FANCIFUL] tag means, kinda like bragging a bit. I was just wondering about this "While correcting things, however, try and rewrite it so it doesn't look like multiple people were correcting one another." What do you want to tell me with that? --Niggy 17:52, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
