Talk:Community announcers

Duplicated voice lines

In some of the maps listed in the article (Like Watergate), already have their respective articles. Perhaps to avoid cluttering, I was thinking in creating a standardized format that redirects to this article by using a {{hatnote}} or simply adding a See also header.

Or maybe another idea?

I'm all ears.

Remove the responses from other pages, this is the one page they should be on. As for linking here, just follow Cursed Cove's example of linking to this page.

Krampus being here

Right now, Krampus is listed here. Simply put, I don't think he should be since he is a boss, not an announcer. I understand not putting him in the Halloween Boss voice responses since he is not a Halloween boss, but he's not an announcer either.

How should we approach this? The best option I can think of at the moment is a "Smissmas/Christmas Boss voice responses" page, similar to the aforementioned "Halloween Boss voice responses" (it would consist of just Krampus for now, but it could grow in the future).

Opinions and suggestions? - BrazilianNut (talk) 00:58, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

Add the voice lines to the Krampus page rathe than here. Unless he does actually announce game-related things like the Administrator or other announcers.

This one hasn't played a single game in the map as now, but I'd agree with Swood. Since we don't have much of its kind (community-created boss) in the game so far, if the monster isn't actually "announcing" for players, the map page would the place for its voicelines.

My concern is, if we meet another community-created boss who also acts as an undisputed announcer in the future, how should we handle it - well, we could consider expanding the coverage of this page, when that time approaches. 13:31, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

As I said, he does not serve as the map's announcer - that job is done by the Administrator. The closest thing Krampus does to an announcement is announcing his respawn before jumping back into the map (while the other bosses announce their arrival at the same time as they arrive).

If a character who serves as both announcer and boss is added, we could split their lines between the appropriate "boss responses" page and this one, with a comment like "For [character]'s announcer/boss lines, see [link to other page]". - BrazilianNut (talk) 17:30, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

Botler?

I personally don't think the Botler characters in Embargo should be here, they're only NPC's much like the Toastmaster and Krampus.--ShadowMan44 (talk) 05:44, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

Agreed, they should only be on the map page if they have any voice lines.
