I think we should move the Discussion terms and OOC to the Meta page. I realize that doesn't leave a lot here at the moment, but you never know what other things we'll come up with that have no other place to go. Xstryker 12:20, 27 July 2006 (CDT)
- I agree. Also isn't "out of character" kind of an anachronism these days? I mean, is anyone ever in character??? --JD 12:27, 27 July 2006 (CDT)
Heh, you guys are nuts. Yeah, I agree it might be better in the Meta section. Michael 16:12, 27 July 2006 (CDT)
- Very well. I go to the Meta section... and get ye flask. Scen 17:17, 27 July 2006 (CDT)
- Thou art inside the belly of a grue. There is no ye flask to be seen. Obvious exits are north and (shudder) south. What now. --JD 17:19, 27 July 2006 (CDT)
- Get ye half-digested bratwurst.
- Eat ye half-digested bratwurst.
- Drink from ye flask. (implied action: get ye flask) Scen 17:45, 27 July 2006 (CDT)
- Thou art taken ill. Perhaps in the future thou wilt take more care in what thou eatest while inside of ye grue. Cannot get ye flask. --JD 18:19, 27 July 2006 (CDT)

Influences
I was curious as to how bebop influenced the story (other than the Roughnecks Tex and I have hardly gotten off the ground). Now, I'm also interested to hear how bebop, evangelion or trigun influence the story.
- I'm wondering how an influences section is relevent to the Wiki's ultimate purpose of providing reference material for Kupopolis. It might be interesting, but there are a lot of other things we should be doing before we contemplate filling out articles about Cowboy Bebop of Final Fantasy VI. Like, say, all those character and nation profiles that either aren't up yet, or haven't been listed. Also: ye flask continues to elude being gotten. This is unacceptable.

- I don't think the influences section is terribly useful either, and I certainly hope nobody wastes their time writing exhaustive essays on how this or that influences the story. I think it's more just a curiosity or a shout out. Also, cannot get ye flask. Thou examine ye flask. Ye flask appears to be filled with matters moste darke and thus both infinitely resourceful and an infnitely heavy lourde. --JD 20:20, 30 July 2006 (CDT)
- No one should write articles about anything in the Influences section. It's just there to be a list. But I do think it belongs there as a side-note for giving a little credit. Xstryker 11:57, 31 July 2006 (CDT)
- Eh, I thought it would be smart just to have a list of things that we've taken ideas from. There's a definate anime influence to some of the stuff we've written, although its not as direct as say the final fantasy references. No silly essays or anything, but just to give credit where credit isa due, right? Michael 22:01, 31 July 2006 (CDT)
