My own "enlightenment" came about by reading a book from the library about how to use comps, (due to buying one on a whim without ever using one before) as there was a list of browser based games in a chapter on learning to use the web, and hey presto this was the one I luckily chose to try first  ;D
You mean BattleMaster is in a printed book somewhere? Now that is cool. You don't by chance remember the book?

I saw your sig on Slashdot.

"Back in beta (too many new features): BattleMaster"

The lure of something in beta with loads of new features was extremely compelling :-)

You know, I think that's the same thing I did! I'm going to go update my sig.

Although I can't remember it's title I do know the author had already written quite a few books on comps, as was something of a specialist on the subject.

I might be able find out tomorrow though, as travelling into town so can check it out at the library.

I started going out with this guy who insisted on bringing his laptop to my house just so he could check this game multiple times throughout the day. Eventually he persauded me to join and now I refresh BM more than he ever does  ;)

His brother got him into it but I'm not sure how his brother found out about it.

A friend of mine in high school was talking about all the fun he was having with it so I decided to check it out myself. I have no clue how he found it though.

A friend of mine convinced me to try it. I was lukewarm about it at first, but grew to love it.

That would be very cool.  Wouldn't that meet Wikipedia's notability requirements?

Not if it's a book the deletionist Wiki-admin has never heard of.

Or he decides there need to be three more references before it can be accepted.

Or...well, he doesn't like the article and just wants it deleted.

No. The inofficial notability requirement is "I, the almight admin in charge today, feel like allowing this unworthy entry into my precious site".
