I'm a huge fan of the original book about the hero's Journey, by Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces. At the very end of Minecraft, you slay a dragon, for goodness sake! Markus has gone for the mythic bullseye. This surely describes our experience of so many game-worlds.

TC: The gaming pioneer Richard Bartle talks about games in mythic terms: how your personal encounter with a game space maps quite closely to the mythical idea of 'the hero's journey.' You go in as this novice, this noob, make your way through perils and challenges, become heroic and powerful, and triumph over adversity. Let’s read the big argument again, shall we? This much is stated plainly in the interviews. The End Poem itself in this context is supposed to be a person being reached to by the higher beings themselves and reading their thoughts. What does “in regards to the game” even mean? It’s not like this is a story found in an ancient scripture of a temple or something. The End Poem is a metaphor, a myth even in regards to the game. Not sure why that stops it from having profiles, so let’s take a look at the arguments. The fact that it varies by 4 levels of transcendence is irrelevant.īut that’s small stuff, let’s tackle the biggest unaddressed argument. Just because one interpretation of it is tier 2 and the other is tier 1 doesn’t mean that we can’t debate it and figure out what would be a reasonable tier for it. You can’t just say the evidence is insufficient without an argument.Īlso, the fact that the feat can be debated is not a reason for deletion. It goes explicitly in detail about what a universe is and how the player can create them, what level the Entities are, etc. The End Poem itself is pretty vague on what it’s themes are but there are direct feats to be tiered here. I’m not sure what ‘exceptional evidence’ means at this stage. Given this is the case, even if the page were to exist, it would be at best 'Unknown'- this has actually been suggested to me by some, but these people failed to account for the above facts. Even if the feat were legitimate, it seems far too vague to actually reliably list. This is an unacceptable range for one feat, and represents some 4 levels of transcendence of disparity between the low-end and the high-end. The feat itself (and this is an extremely minor point, one should add) is vague- so vague that even those defending it cannot agree on where it falls, ranging from 2-B to 1-C. So even if we were to assume the End Poem was factual, which we are told it is not, it would not be sufficient. It is not, in fact, exceptional evidence. If this were accepted as legitimate, the argument of 'exceptional claims require exceptional evidence' has been made several times, where the only counterargument was from Ricsi, who was so bold to say 'but this is exceptional evidence' with no further elaboration. Luckily Bambu summarized all the points nicely. But I do not believe the reasoning provided in the thread of deletion proved that the End Poem cannot be properly indexed on the site.

My opinion can be swayed here, so feel free to debate. A mess of circular arguments and the staff just decided to cut off the whole thing before it got any worse.

Despite being a discussion rule, I got the go ahead by Ultima to bring this up again because both he and I have both decided the way the previous thread ended wasn’t very good.
