Talk:Simon

Questioning several facts
There are several facts that I'm having a hard time corroborating from the transcripts. I've also been through the texts and haven't gotten anything out of them. We can probably assume that much of what the goblin is saying is true of Simon, but what is he saying of Simon and what is he saying of himself? Those first few challenges, of course, come down to knowing when Simon was killed. An attractive possibility was in the raid that killed his fiancee, but do we know that?

 * 1) I assume the stuff about him being orphaned was true, since it's probably safe to assume that he was killed much later in life.
 * 2) What about the Test of Knighthood? Do we know that it was Simon who did that or the goblin?
 * 3) What about everything involving his girl? The article asserts that Simon died in the goblin attack, but how do we know this?
 * 4) I can't find anything about how the goblin maintained his disguise. (Do we have a "citation needed" template?) I've looked for a lot of keywords in the transcript but can't find anything so detailed. I also can't find anything useful searching for "black obelisk" or how the attack on Fawn Tower is related.
 * 5) The dialogue shows nothing of the goblin's swan song. The only thing I see is the Avatar accusing him of lying, and confessing to being found out.

Article style questions
This article leads the reader through the deception, saying things that we know aren't true, but the player is lead to believe at the time. Then, in the following paragraph, there's the revelation of what really happened. Is this the way such articles are to be written? Is it ok to give false information, so that the reader experiences the same deception that the player experiences?

The tense is also inconsistent--it starts present, but all subsequent paragraphs are "was". I didn't get very far into the debate about tense last year, but I'm pretty sure that this inconsistency is wrong.The Ultra-Mind 11:48, 21 October 2011 (PDT)
