Sea Trader: Rise of Taipan
... that one critic felt that Sea Trader: Rise of Taipan lacked "pizazz"?Source: "It's definitely possible to get lost in the "gameplay" of Sea Trader...just don't expect a whole lot of "pizazz" while you do." ([1])- ALT1:
... that Sea Trader: Rise of Taipan is a shipping simulation game for the Game Boy Advance?Source: "Never in a million years would you expect to see a game like Sea Trader: Rise of Taipan on the Game Boy Advance. It's a shipping simulation set in the days of yore, when pirates and sea serpents roamed the oceans." ([2]) - ALT2:
... that players can bribe customs officials in Sea Trader: Rise of Taipan?Source: "Money also comes into play when buying rounds of drinks to get the bartender to tell juicy rumors of lucrative situations, or bribing customs officials to carry the less-legal, more expensive booty as well as buying maps to gain access to the other parts of the world." ([3])
- ALT1:
Created by Nomader (talk). Self-nominated at 02:36, 4 July 2018 (UTC).
- So this was removed from the prep area. Template:Ping and Template:Ping on this one here-- suggested more interesting hook below:
- ALT3:
... that players can bribe customs officials to offload illicit goods in Sea Trader: Rise of Taipan?
- ALT3:
- It's really just a simulation game that's pretty cut and dry. Happy to have other suggestions here but it's the best I could do. Nomader (talk) 17:22, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
Thanks, Template:U, I think ALT3 is good. Even a cut and dried hook can be hooky if it's worded well. ALT3 hook ref verified and cited inline. ALT3 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 18:32, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
ALT3 was the subject of a discussion at ERRORS and then pulled from prep for lacking hook interest. Template:U, if you don't have a good hook for this, we'll have to close this nomination. Yoninah (talk) 22:36, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
- Template:Ping courtesy ping here-- again, thanks for all the help here, I've got nothing. I didn't see it, but how long was it on the main page for before it was pulled? Nomader (talk) 22:46, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
- Template:Ping it wasn't on the main page; it was in one of the queues waiting to go up. Yoninah (talk) 22:47, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
- Template:Ping FYI, I just suggested two ALTs at the discussion on the DYK discussion page here (sorry!). Nomader (talk) 23:23, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
Thanks. New hooks proposed:- ALT4:
... that Sea Trader: Rise of Taipan keeps track of player's stats using battery save RAM?(IGN source, last paragraph) - ALT5:
... that Sea Trader: Rise of Taipan features no skill or action-based sequences even though the player can fight pirates?(IGN source, last paragraph) - Yoninah (talk) 23:44, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
- ALT7b (proposed by Gatoclass): ... that at the time of its release in 2002, economic simulations like Sea Trader: Rise of Taipan were relatively uncommon on handheld systems like the Game Boy Advance?
- Really like ALT6 here. Pinging for feedback from Template:Ping, Template:Ping, and Template:Ping. Nomader (talk) 16:46, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
- Template:Ping it wasn't on the main page; it was in one of the queues waiting to go up. Yoninah (talk) 22:47, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
