I think we should include maaaaagmaaaa  or whatever but asking for name recognition on the wiki is a little conceited

What the hell.

This has been in the game for years. You can't just randomly up and name someone else's meme after yourself. That's just stupid.

I'm not the one who came up with it, Oioloi (HOW DO YOU SPELL IT) did. I just shortened

MAGMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

to The Necro910 Method. Most of the people at DF Fortress Mode Discussion know who I am just for that, and I am not making you vote for it, you can vote against.

I put the poll here for a reason 

Listen Necro, your awesome an all. But no one really deserves something named after them when all they say is Magma, its been around forever. I mean Vector or Toonyman aren't trying to make a wiki article about themselves.

I thought vector never played DF?

Well yeah, but I was trying to make a point. Just because your famous for something on the forums doesn't mean you should get a wiki page of any kind.

[qwertyuiopas]

"Necro910" is just too long and unmemorable to refer to such a general thing. It would never catch on, except perhaps in a small fraction of the active posters here.

Now, a name that is short enough to remember easily, and on it's own invokes the intended concept?

‼

A single character of unicode, that easily and adequately expresses a concept, can be typed in only a few keystrokes, and by it's use in ‼thing‼, already relates to stuff burning.

[Spectre]

It's true. In fact I am only in here for the anger

[Ptylerdactyl]

Well, I for one am willing to hear you out. But you need to make your case. Why should your online handle be used to name this method as opposed to, say, the name of the person who first discovered/reported it? Why should it be attributed to you specifically? What, out of all the other people who use magma, makes you deserving of being the namer of the trope?

[jevon]

Bahaha even if you put it in the wiki, it would never stay. I think we should rename Wiki to Jevon, there's less i's to get confused over.

[Spectre]

I second the Jevon approach. fkn i's.

(Long time lurker, first time poster. /nixon vee's)

This should be allowed.  But only if we get to rename the scatological activities of domesticated and wild animals to "Necro910".

Example, wake up tomorrow morning and walk into the kitchen to find your pet cat/dog/llama etc has left a steaming pile of Necro910 on the tiled floor.  Or walking through the countryside and step in a freshly laid cow-necro910.  So fresh, it has the pool of dew on top.

This is fair?

Ah, I smell a forum loyalty cascade a' brewin'

Seconded, and I would suggest a good reason for it to be attributed to him in this manner would be widespread use of using magma being called the Necro method, not just use by a small sub-section of players.

[Pandarsenic]

The hell is a Necro910 and why does it think magma should be named for it?

If anything, it should have a name like The Universal Solution or something that is in any way related to its origin, application, or content.

[NecroRebel]

Nothing on the wiki should be named for anyone. Individual users should not even be mentioned on the wiki pages except perhaps in describing something that they have done, like where the designer for some of the bedroom designs on the Bedroom Design pages is mentioned, but even then it should be avoided where possible. That is my opinion. The wiki shouldn't be a place where prideful people can put their crap out in the open.

Mentioning that magma is often jokingly suggested as a solution to any and every problem would be kosher, but not naming the meme after a forum member.

[mnjiman]

Just, no.

Just... no.

[Zecon]

You got me to create an account, just to vote no (Mostly because the precedence this would create, I could care less about 1 thing getting altered). so cool for you.

[mnjiman]

I will try to say why this does not belong on the Wiki.

Necro910 did not create this. The saying of Magma to solve a solution is apart of the game itself and the community as a whole.


It is people like you Necro910 that destroys this community with such poor and badly thought out suggestions.


JUst... NO.
