Hi, this is my official response to this message. First of all I want to apologize for misunderstanding the rules for putting up the page, and I absolutely understand your decision to take it down. If the ruling ends up being that this page is not really helpful or conducive to a good lore environment to keep up, I would understand if you kept it down as well, as I really don't want to make this into a big battle. It was an idea that I had that I had fun writing and wanted to try my hand at posting as an IRM, but I don't want it to cause undue stress on the part of wiki moderators or crabs team members.

As of now I still am not really willing to remove the link or references to Dark Seattle because to me that is part of the joke, and it's an essential part to me of the idea I had when I wrote this IRM entry, which only really represents my headcanon for this character and isn't really intended to be a prescriptive thing for the rest of the world to accept as their Jon Halifax. Like I said before I was under the impression that this type of thing is what the IRM is for, and I had been excited to write up this take on Jon which combined a really creative setting that exists in collaborative Blaseball lore (Dark Seattle) with some equally interesting and fun lore that was attached to the Crabs (CRAB LLC and the idea of Jon as a sleazy businessman).

I personally am not willing to back down about having something linked to Dark Seattle because I don't think there's anything scandalous or harmful about Dark Seattle as a concept or as a background setting. This particular article, like I said, doesn't even include any references to any of the material in the Dark Seattle context that could be potentially upsetting to people from what I understand (the idea of it being an alternate universe with villain characters that sometimes involves mind control related concepts, which, again, exist in canon game lore with the PODS for example, and the idea of it involving catastrophic events associated with the killing of a god, which, again, is also a part of Crabs lore.) I understand that there is dislike of Dark Seattle as a setting, and I offered to put a content warning up but I still don't think there's really anything in this article worth warning about based on the guidelines posted above? So that's my position on that, though I'll say again I don't want this to be something that leaves bad feelings or feels hostile as a writing exercise and creative idea.
