Battlestar Wiki talk:Think Tank/Things you just don't do, not even in war

Like the title. Very apt. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 10:22, 16 September 2006 (CDT)

Thanks it just pop into my mind right off the bat. --FrankieG 10:32, 16 September 2006 (CDT)

One way to look at these "unofficial" official policies as alternative to RFC's by using peer pressure (SV words) to lead behavior change without bring out the "big stick". Just thought I throw that in. Hopefully, contributors' will read and some will change their own behavior. Much like the import of the Wikipedia Policies, trying to get ready for the crush of Season 3. Optimistic (very) about the wiki's increasing popularity which lead to the need of "tools" to deal with the increase of "problems". --FrankieG 10:25, 16 September 2006 (CDT)

I like. I laughed myself silly on the "don't be a dick" article. We can spin these up to Battlestar themed-versions easily, with comments such as "While Baltar may be interesting to watch on the show, contributors would rather not have Baltar as a contributor because, essentially, he's a dick." Title's good, but practically untypeable, so be sure to have a shortcut or redirect. I'd be happy to help in adding these in. --Spencerian 16:43, 16 September 2006 (CDT)

Or have a BSG type insult like "Don't be a frakwit". That could be a substite for "Don't be dense" -Serenity 16:51, 16 September 2006 (CDT)

The BSG spin is a great idea and will actually make it "fun" to do. thanks Spencerian. Also, if we can add a little humor to them, they would not "bite" as hard. --FrankieG 16:58, 16 September 2006 (CDT)

Crashdown could be used for "Don't be dense or dick." Following policy right to termination. --FrankieG 19:14, 16 September 2006 (CDT)

And Admiral Cain, exploited policies to achieve dubious ends. --FrankieG 09:58, 17 September 2006 (CDT)

It's not enough to be right. You must be worthy to be right --FrankieG 22:05, 5 October 2006 (CDT)

Sorry. My bad. I've been up to my ears in real life felgercarb... I'll get everything together now. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 21:40, 5 October 2006 (CDT)

Re-imagined Series definition: Battlestar Group (TRS: "Water"). It also doubles as an acronym for the television series itself.

Galactica 1980 definition:  vulgarism equivalent to "shit" (see: felgercarb); Dillon uses this when discovering that his laser pistol wasn't set to stun (1980: "Galactica Discovers Earth, Part II")

Original Series definition: expletive, similar to "crap" (see: felgercarb)
