While some of the original authors of the [[Dnd_%28computer_game%29|dnd]] game may have legitimate gripes with Daniel Lawrence, the Telengard article is not the place for it. Telengard is a game, not a person. Only the game should be discussed here. '''The history of Daniel Lawrence, for example, is not the history of Telengard.''' Since Daniel Lawrence does not have a Wiki article of his own, perhaps someone should create one? Then the issues, if any, can be historically documented (hopefully in balance and hopefully with better sources than unverifiable e-mails and [[Wikipedia:No_original_research|original research]] items).

C64
It was definitely better on the Commodore 64; It didn't translate all that well to the Apple II+, which was the version I owned. This article needs to be cleaned up some, though. It's too "chatty", there shouldn't be any "I" pronouns like this. Look at some of the other historical videogame articles on Wikipedia and model this one after those... -- JR
Daniel Lawrence
While some of the original authors of the dnd game may have legitimate gripes with Daniel Lawrence, the Telengard article is not the place for it. Telengard is a game, not a person. Only the game should be discussed here. The history of Daniel Lawrence, for example, is not the history of Telengard. Since Daniel Lawrence does not have a Wiki article of his own, perhaps someone should create one? Then the issues, if any, can be historically documented (hopefully in balance and hopefully with better sources than unverifiable e-mails and original research items).

Suggestion
How about a "controversy" section? Be warned that it should not be longer than the article! If you cannot keep the controversy section to a couple of medium sized sentences, it will probably be removed or highly altered. Long winded and unreferenced information about what Lawrence did or did not do outside of the game is of no interest to anyone wanting to learn about Telengard, so it should be brief and most importantly from reliable 3rd party sources.
