Regarding the summaries of the UT profiles

[Verivici]

Aren't they a bit, well... wordy?

This is VS Battles Wiki, not Plot Summary Wiki. There's no reason to have a veritable novel of information before the powers and statistics, and just takes up space.

 

[Hop_Hoppington-Hoppenhiemer]

Yes, I agree. Frisk alone contains over 12,000 characters in his/her "summary", and besides that, what is there to say about the character other than the story? We're summarizing the person, not the game.

Another thing. We need to remove Temmie. I'm sorry but here's the facts:

• no real stats
• while a popular character, not notable for indexing or vs purposes
• waste of otherwise good space for other UT characters

 

[Ryukama]

I agree. A good analysis of a character is definitely a great thing for profiles to have. But the Undertale summaries have gotten rather excessive and go away from the main purpose.

 

[Antvasima]

You can ask Azathoth about this.

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

I don't really see a problem in wordy summaries. The stats are still there, and nothing's stopping someone from scrolling.

 

[Hop_Hoppington-Hoppenhiemer]

It takes up allot of space, and they summarize more of the story than the character. What do you get out of Frisk's personality or combat potential other than what s/he did in the game?

 

[Antvasima]

Well, you can inform Azathoth about this thread, if you wish.

 

[Verivici]

I have done so

 

[Lina_Shields]

I agree with hit that the Undertale profile summaries are basically a wall of text. They need to be condensed down; otherwise people won't even read them at all.

 

[Austrian-Man-Meat]

It's best to keep it short & sweet, the purpose of a vs profile is not tell one the whole contents of the series they originate from. But to give a quick synopsis of the character with statististics.

 

[Cropfist]

I agree. The summaries are far too long.

 

[Azathoth_the_Abyssal_Idiot]

You can definitely trim more superfluous parts from the wordy ones (i.e. far more minor things, background info, event summaries).

 

[Verivici]

OK, so shouldn't someone make the edits then?

 

[Lina_Shields]

Summarizing and condensing those undertale summaries is going to take quite some time. It'll take a few days at least to complete the changes.

 

[Verivici]

le bump

 

[Ryukama]

@HIT I'm pretty sure everyone is okay with and would appreciate it if you could shorten the summaries.

You are free to do so. Just update us on your progress and let us see if they're okay if you do.

 

[Verivici]

I'm not very good at things like that

I'd prefer if someone else could do it

 

[Azathoth_the_Abyssal_Idiot]

I could do so, if this is still needed.

 

[Lina_Shields]

Are you sure about this? It seems that you're also extremely busy as a bureaucrat.

If you are willing to do this though, 1 to 2 paragraphs describing said character should be sufficient.

Edit: That being said, is there a time requirement that you need this to be completed by?

 

[Azathoth_the_Abyssal_Idiot]

No. I can just do it whenever, if need be.

 

[Lina_Shields]

Understood.
