Some Minecraft Revisions (Tier 2 and up Edition)

I already described the problem with Deletion idea here:
anyways all Deletion votes are based on statament that Dream hierarchy is metaphoric, BUT noobody proved that the entities being universe isn't metaphoric, and it's totally unrelated to Dreams.

so instead of deleting page votes you should make them Disagree/Downgrade votes because deletion pages votes are currently "a house supported only by a supporting pillar" which normally would collapse, i think you got what i meant.
Im not saying to make Delete profile votes 0, im say instead of deleting make it Disagree with upgrade or something.
 
Now i am asking how can we win this we prove evidence they "debunk that" we debunk that then that goes till they say decide to strawman our argument i am starting to think that they are biased
 
Also can people stop acting like the 5-D feat dont exist just because the 1-C feats got "debunked" doesnt mean that the Low 1-C feats doesnt exist or arent valid.
 
Seems my point still get ignored, nothing should be deleted, WoG here are only talking about dreams, but the whole poem dosen't only talk about that, Entities states that they are universe, in a very detailed way, and it cannot be reconnected to a similutide, so it isn't metaphor.

So The Entities profile and The Player key should stay, and the deletion vote should be a disagree for Dreams 1-C

Yes that is what i say the 1-C got denied but the 5-D things still exists and they are dont have to do with dreams

Im pretty sure it's due to real world wich have the relationship between dreams, but i might be wrong, so I recommend to not take my word as a disagree, after I will check

Nop even without that is obvious that the player see minecraft as fiction even the entities say the the player has reached "a higher level of existence" but still lower that the entities
 
I think that we almost have sufficient votes to go ahead with the deletion option, but I can send notificiations to more of our staff if you think that it is a good idea.
Hey, I just woke up, probably not gonna spend a lot of time on the wiki today so 'pologies if I miss the storm this causes. I am of the opinion that we have enough of a difference in staff votes to delete. 67% tends to be my cutoff for such things. It also has the (current) majority of overall votes, which is somewhat significant as well.
 
It is my opinion that a good chunk of the quotes Ultima has now talked about at length are largely irrelevant to the arguments at hand. Hell, a good swathe of it is the writer just saying "I believe video games make you think differently" with quite a lot of other words tacked on in apparently self-aware pretentious text. The poem being construed as non-literal very much does matter, even in spite of the author's other funky views about things.
I can compress it a bit, then: I am saying that the Poem being construed as non-literal and a metaphor does not matter because, in the author's eyes, the rest of the story is a metaphor (And he even marks a distinction between "what the story is about" and the events that happen in its narrative), too, and we obviously aren't going to delete all of Minecraft because of that, same with all other perfectly-indexable verses that also intend to convey some message to the audience. Coupled with later quotes having him saying that the Player achieving higher levels of existence is very much literal.

Really, I am just using the same authorial intent which you all are arguing is grounds for deletion. Saying "it's vague and flowery" and then going on about how the quotes are irrelevant without first saying why is not very productive.

i mean there are only parts that are metaphor were some a pretty clear like the entities being universe or the player being a actual being that is in a "dream" so somethings infact can be used

Also we have series who use like 100x more flowery languaje that minecraft
 
As much as I am in favour of the upgrade and don't believe this is flowery language, this isn't a proper argument. Those series very well could be due a downgrade.
can people understand my argument? i am saying that minecraft cant be deleated just because a small portion of the game is a poem is was explaining that

Whoa whoa whoa, we aren't for deleting the verse, we are for deleting Entities and True Form player key

Nobody thinks Minecraft should be deleted. You're saying how other series have tons of flowery language. I'm pointing out how that changes nothing. That simple.

Ye i see the point, Now i fully agree with the upgrade.

Also it's strongly stated that it's a dream in the actual sense (someone already posted here) meaning it has a double meaning, which is a thing in poems.
also it's implied that the dreams are infinite (by wog which the dude posted with it), but it's pretty SUSpicious if you ask me, since it's talking about mental states, so there are multiple meanings.
but basically 1-C, possibly Low 1-A for steve| 1-C, possibly 1-A for entities. Both 1-C or 1-C possibly 1-A/Low 1-A are fine to me.

...no? i was explaining a guy for why minecraft wouldnt be deleted it wanst a argument
 
I'm neutral so far, sorta leaning towards Low 1-C. I'm not sure if the Player is relevant to the lore, but I really don't think "flowery language" is a good point at all.

The whole argument is that it's somehow not literal because it was implied to be a metaphor... yet the entire story is one? I really just don't understand how a fictional story can't be literal because it's a metaphor for "x". When you consider the amount of fictional stories with life lessons that don't actually make the story illegitimate, it really just feels like people don't want the upgrade just because it's Minecraft.

Whether they realize it or not, the opposing side is leaning to a position of disbelief because Steve from Minecraft could get tier 1, rather than just looking at the points at hand in a vacuum.
 
... can you be more specific? like giving arguments or atleast saying something
It is an argument that stands on its legs. Significant evidence is needed. A vague poem at the end of the game explicitly mentioned to just be "hey chap, well done" isn't significant evidence, hell we can hardly agree if the damn things exist or not. My vote stands.

It seems damn clear cut to me that it isn't real, given the, yes, vagueness of the poem and how the creator mentioned it wasn't intended to mean shit. It's fascinating how people will cherry-pick what he says when it suits them and blithely ignore it when it doesn't. Absolutely mind-boggling.

People trying to argue Notch was clearly trying to establish higher levels of an ontological hierarchy when I'm fairly sure Notch doesn't know what ontological means.

I require consistency to accept Tier 1 stuff. The end poem is not consistency. Even if I ignored all context and took this at the twisted face value I am ostensibly expected to take it as, I would not accept it for Tier 1 rating in a verse that otherwise displays none of this. So let me make this absolutely clear to you all: as I am knowledgeable on the verse, I know for a fact that there is nothing in it that would convince me of Tier 1 block game. Not even for "lol meme haha". Shocking, I know.
Look at this
 
Look at this
oh the argument we debunked long time ago and how he bringed out of context that the author sayed it was subjective wich it was.... not really . the author sayed that the dreams were subjective but only that the entities are universe and fiction reality still a thing wich is the entire point of 5-D. and also the most consistent intepretaion of "dreams" is that they are worlds:2-B or a tracending universe:1-B so no

I not really gonna say much more than what I already said, just wanted to point out that Steve isn't getting tier 1, the tier 1 (and currently tier 2) would be a character that actually don't exist in the game and the narrators of the poem, Steve isn't gonna be affected even if is accepted.

wait what.. the entities and the player would still exist as entities but it would be unkown also how they dont exist in the game? they are still character in the verse of minecraft by that logic every tier 0 wouldnt have profile because they exist beyond the plot of the verse also the only part subjective about the poem that really matters is the dream the author only said that the dreams are subjective not the other parts

also if it gets affected the inmortality of steve wouldnt be 4-D so there is that

Till i do another CRT to get him to Low 1-A muhahhahah

Steve is the player character, the tier 1 upgrade is for a key he already has.

Taking the End Poem as in-universe narration, which I have not seen a compelling reason why would not. It meant to convey a theme and dreams is used metaphoric rather than literally, but that doesn't negate that it is a part of the fiction of Minecraft, then the player is a god-like entity that creates and destroys worlds. It created Steve as an avatar to experience these worlds, and had immersed within the worlds he had created, losing sight of its true nature. Only after defeating the Ender Dragon did it briefly stir and become aware of something other entity/entities observing and commenting on it until he returned to "dream" and continued to enjoy its creation.

This isn't head-canon, this is just the metaphor y'all been yelling about without seeming understanding what it is: losing yourself to fiction and immersing yourself so deeply you stop to wonder what is more real.

aka: a anti escapism fantasy wich would put him above 99% ligth novels

Yes i have to do that
 
also extra

the dreams can be interpreted in many ways but that dont change that they are words and that is by literally ignoring everything else is still 2-B

Could be a key in the profile of Steve, Steve isn't the Player because the argument is that the Player are us, real world entities that see minecraft and other stories as "dreams", and I'm pretty sure I'm not called Steve, so no, Steve is the thing currently rated as '9-A physically. At least 8-B, possibly Low 7-C with equipment'.

Steve is avatar and a part of the player
