[QUOTE="IdesOfMarch01, post: 1774951, member: 39084"]The game that I created and proposed is a fantasy game, conceptually similar to fantasy sports games such as football fantasy leagues. Whatever contest is described above might be acceptable to the moderators but it isn't remotely similar to the concept I proposed, and I seriously doubt it would garner nearly the interest that my concept did. Personally, I have learned at least as much from browsing online and actual auction catalogs catalogs, reading online and actual descriptions of coins, and doing research based on what I've learned, as I have from reading the dozens of books I own, and informational websites I've visited. The idea that the proposed fantasy game won't stimulate learning about ancient coins is just an assertion and has no basis in fact and reality. The implication that there is some "personal gain... except for exposure" for me from proposing the fantasy game is so bizarre that I don't even understand it, and thus can't rationally respond to it. I will remain forever puzzled by what, exactly, is meant by this. This is indeed what the whole issue reduces to: the forum dictators have spoken, they don't like my fantasy game concept, and whatever reason they give for deleting it -- bogus or not -- is irrelevant. It's just not going to happen. As we've all experienced on the playground, when someone says "it's my ball and if you don't want to play by my rules I won't let you play at all" you better believe they mean it.[/QUOTE]
