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])

  • Symbol confirmed.svg The article is neutral, meets the required length, and is sufficiently referenced. Article created on 4 July, the same day as this nomination. Hooks are all interesting and sourced; I prefer the main hook, but all are fine. QPQ done. This is good to go! – Rhain 13:26, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
  • Symbol possible vote.svg Returned from prep for further work on the hook. Yoninah (talk) 21:38, 17 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:
  • 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)
  • Symbol confirmed.svg 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)
  • Yeah, I've got nothing-- at this point, work is just absolutely taking over my life right now and I can't think of anything better on short notice. Really appreciate the ping from your end though-- thanks for being so thorough with this process. Nomader (talk) 22:42, 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)
  • Symbol delete vote.svg Closing as unsuccessful. Yoninah (talk) 23:18, 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)
  • Symbol question.svg 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)
