Talk:Ghost (game)

The Randall Munroe solution is the only solution available online. There is no requirement for it to be notable--only the subject of the article must be notable, not necessarily every piece of information or link. FWIW, I had never heard of Munroe outside of this context. See also everything that [[User:Idangazit|Idangazit]] posted. Having personally seen the effort required to develop a winning strategy (I'm the author of the other solution linked in the article), I feel well-placed to disagree with the comment by 62.16.226.134 as to the triviality of the game or solution. Another user claims that a great deal of other pages talk about the game as well. I searched unsuccessfully for other pages with winning strategies. The page ''is'' more than a "description of an implementation of the... winning strategy" because it provides the actual winning strategy. As a Ghost fan, I am excited to see this link in the article, and I will restore it, permanently I hope. [[User:Matchups|Matchups]] ([[User talk:Matchups|talk]]) 17:22, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm a university student and my research group developed a strong solution to ghost which I'd like to add to the "winning strategies" section, but I'm worried that would violate the self promotion discussed earlier. I will add our solution with references to our write up and our code once they are available, but I wanted to add this before editing so it didn't appear I was attempting to vandalize the page.
