Talk:Strange Leaflet Walkthrough
The question of showing the secret words has been a highly debated one for awhile. Many solutions have been proposed such as a separate page entitled Secret Words, and various other ideas. The feeling that at least this one secret should be unspoilered has remained prevalent in many peoples' minds, but it was never decided once and for all whether or not to include them in the wiki. Since I enjoy democracy so much I figure it is time for another vote. If for some reason a category does not fit your opinion feel free to create one for yourself. --SomeStranger (Talk | Contribs) 14:31, 16 April 2006 (CDT)
The Secret Words should not be in the wiki
This is an issue that has been hashed and rehashed. The bottom line is that we won't spoil it here on the Wiki. --Gymnosophist 14:44, 16 April 2006 (CDT)
- since pretty much everything here is copyright mr johnson, we rely on his goodwill. he asked us not to spoil this one thing. we have to respect that. --Evilkolbot 14:53, 16 April 2006 (CDT)
The Secret Words should be in the wiki
- Support - the Wiki spoils every single adventure, secret, and quest in all of the Kingdom of Loathing, I don't think that these words should be any different. Naturally they should be placed only in the Walkthrough, as opposed to the main quest description. --SomeStranger (Talk | Contribs) 14:31, 16 April 2006 (CDT)
There Should Be Hints to the Secret Words in the Wiki
Another possible opition here is that of a sort of compromise; give hints as to what the secret words are and suggestions how one might go about reasoning out which goes with which mantle item. We maintain accordance with the wishes of Jick while still remaining the source of all knowledge kol-related. Besides, I found a spoiler site for kol that lists all the words and associated mantle items with a quick google search, so it's not like the information isn't out there.--Yiab 15:17, 16 April 2006 (CDT)
- Ok, let's try this out. I will try to make some haikus and see how they turn out. --SomeStranger (Talk | Contribs) 15:19, 16 April 2006 (CDT)
- Here is my first shot at a limerick for one of the words, I think it is pretty decent. --SomeStranger (Talk | Contribs) 16:16, 16 April 2006 (CDT)
I removed the limerick. It was my understanding that there wan't going to be any spoiling (including hints) of these words anywhere. The problem with providing hints is that someone won't get it and then somebody else will make an easier hint. And then somebody won't get that hint so somebody will make an easier hint. Eventually this will lead to spoiling.--Williabr 17:33, 16 April 2006 (CDT)
That's called "Slippery Slope", its a false arguement. However, since the arguement applies to making simplier and simplier hints, and you seem opposed to *any* sort of help in regards to the words, I'm not sure that's relevant.--Rikmach 23:57, 16 April 2006 (CDT)
