The Game (game)

May 10, 2007 - 00:35

I don't complain about organizations who generally do things right; but, a recent discovery has left me all agitated. The Game no longer has a Wikipedia entry. The Game (thank you for asking) is a game of self awareness: if you know about The Game, you're playing it; and, whenever you think about the game, you lose. And that's it.

Silly? Yes. Quirky? You bet. Well known? Well enough. Nevertheless, the Wikipedians took it down. Many thought it was too silly to merit an article; but what (I think) ultimately sank the article was the lack of "primary sources" attributed to the bulk of the writing. This rationale comes from a community that "ignores all rules". Weak.

Here's the bit: I would hope Wikipedia to be a safe haven for all encyclopedic information that other sources do not have the time nor interest in covering. The Game is a real thing: an Internet meme just lesser known. Wikipedia's principles failed by the vote of masses and wreaks of truthiness.
