Talk:Pure Evil

This is defintely not NPOV. Phrases like "hatched a plot" and "used toilet paper" are opinions of the author, not facts. This should either be labelled as an opinion piece, or revised. It's possible that the arguments over what is and is not economically possible make a NPOV article impossible, however.

This would be my attempt at a NPOV revision:

Pure Evil chaired the World Bank, an attempt to find a common global trading currency. The "World Dollar" was initially pegged at US$2 and printed by banks in Pure Evil. When SeOCC obtained a large quantity of World Dollars, members of the World Business Organization feared an attempt to destabilize their economies, citing intelligence obtained by Der Angst. Tensions in the cold war between the WBO and the Coalition of Anti-Capitalist Economies escalated.

Led by Menelmacar, the WBO jointly declared that the World Dollar would not be accepted as valid currency in WBO markets under any circumstances and made the Menelmacari credit their common currency for international trade. In these economies the World Dollar is considered to have no value. However, it may be accepted for trade in other countries or on the black market.

Be bold in editing! and feel free to revise it yourself. --Goobergunch|? 21:35, 17 Oct 2004 (GMT)

Okly-dokly.

I restored the bit SUGGESTING what the intelligence actually was (since the WBO initially cooperated with the world dollar, and there was some sort of reason why they did things.)

Also, I removed the 'Black Market' suggestion. I mean, seriously. Do you think the World Dollar is going to be accepted in Menelmacar? It is banned by the government, and only used in nations that WBO + affiliated nations do not trade with World Dollar nations anyway due to IFTA restrictions (and before that, political restrictions). --Knoot 23:52, 17 Oct 2004 (GMT)

This article shouldn't exist period, given the massive amount of godmodery that went on. There's no reason to document something that ended in ooc arguments and IGNORES for most actions. A neutral article is impossible, as noted above, and more importantly, DA got that 'intelligence' through ooc spying, which is an incredibly dishonest and god mode practice since, while all that information was being used ic, no one ever gave the CACE an opportunity to discover that spying etc etc. Thus, the whole thing should be deleted and be done with it. --Pudding

Use the deletion procedure then. --Goobergunch|? 20:03, 18 Oct 2004 (GMT)

Hope this isn't too bold, but i've changed the NPOV tag to a delete tag and moved it to the World Dollar section, as there's no dispute with the brief section on Pure Evil itself. The current article is as neutral as i can imagine making it, but i still have the same initial misgivings as to whether a NPOV is actually possible. As the World Dollar is not relevant to anyone's current RP, i think it's best to can it entirely. TB 23:54, 18 Oct 2004 (GMT)

That's not a bad idea, but it's not really a proper use of standard deletion procedure. Instead, we should probably address it in a manner similar to deletion as follows. --Goobergunch|? 00:05, 19 Oct 2004 (GMT)
