Screenshot
editCan I add a screenshot of Steel Sentinels? --43?9enter ☭msg☭contribs 05:38, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
- To be honest, I'm not sure how many game screenshots this article actually needs. Note that WikiProject Video Games recommends having no more than 3 non-free images (including the FunOrb logo) and we already have that many. 1ForTheMoney (talk) 09:50, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
- Then what about a replacement? Steel Sentinels is currently (as of September 2010) 5th on the home page[[1] and Geoblox and Terraphoenix aren't. Therefore, it seems most helpful that one of the more common games on Funorb be shown, instead of digging up an ancient one from Ye Olde days that might not represent Funorb well. If I were to add a picture to Stalin, I would be inclined to use his official portrait instead of one where he is clutching his foot, cursing, after someone stepped on the said foot. --43?9enter ☭msg☭contribs 03:00, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
- I've got no issue with that, although constantly cycling the images to reflect current trends is a bit of a slippery slope. I believe the current images were pulled off of Jagex's press release images (stuff the media uses when talking about their products.) 1ForTheMoney (talk) 08:35, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
- But it depends on whether taking a ready-made image reflects the game better than a player screenshot. There could've been updates. --Σ ☭★ 06:23, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
- A screenshot is perfectly acceptable if it does the job and you can get one. Since I don't know which games would be best for screenshots I'll defer to your opinion on that one. 1ForTheMoney (talk) 15:26, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

I'm going to become a member very soon, and currently am thinking of Arcanists, Steel Sentinels, and Armies of Gielinor. Thoughts? --Σ ☭★ 22:42, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
- Out of those, I'd take Arcanists and AOG. I gave up FunOrb months ago but I know those two are pretty popular. Keep in mind that I'd recommend no more than 2, to meet non-free guidelines. 1ForTheMoney (talk) 23:04, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
- Wait for me to become a member, and then it will be done. --Σ ☭★ 23:17, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
