Choosing other people's fanon Sims for Battles

You can only choose fanon Sims of users who's usernames are on the 'list of volunteers'. But what if you ask a different user directly if you can use their fanon Sim for a fanon battle and they say yes. Does that mean it's okay to include their fanon Sim in a fanon battle? -- C.Syde (talk | contribs) 05:26, August 6, 2014 (UTC)

I didn't even know that was what the list of volunteers was about. I thought they were people who would run the battles. Sorry that I can't answer your question because I really have no idea how the battles are run. Maybe there will be other input.

For what it's worth, I did notice this guideline on the nominations page. "There is a small exception, as one can nominate one's own fanon without being listed as a volunteer if the nominator wishes to protect his/her other fanons. Also, if one wishes to protect other fanons while wishing to nominate one's own, one may give out permission to another via talk, or put up the fanon article in the open single entries." So I guess it is possible for someone to give permission to have a fanon Sim in a battle via talk. -- Icemandeaf (talk) 01:21, October 1, 2014 (UTC)

I noticed that guideline as well, though I must have missed that last bit. So I guess it's possible then. -- C.Syde (talk | contribs) 01:25, October 1, 2014 (UTC)

How exactly do you volunteer for Fanon battles?

I wonder... is there any requirements for volunteering and nominating fanon battles? I can think of one requirement: "A fanon must not have an under construction infobox." I think that's what the box thingy is called. Am I wrong about that requirement? Also, I have thought of some good ideas, but I'll have to think about what pictures to put in.

Ack! I meant to put in the title "Are there any requirements for volunteering and nominating fanon battles?" Wikierzz1122 (Let's talk it over) 08:09, December 30, 2015 (UTC)

The fanon battles is a retired feature. It is no longer featured. Several months ago, a community consensus in favour of retiring the fanon battles was reached, and as a result, the fanon battles are no longer being featured. We can always resurrect the fanon battles if there is a demand for it. But we'd need a demand from multiple editors, and a community consensus, before fanon battles can be featured again. ― C.Syde (talk | contribs) 08:21, December 30, 2015 (UTC)

C.Syde is right. But I don't know if that is going to happen again. Sims Player (talk) (mistakes) 11:51, December 30, 2015 (UTC)

Well, I hope I have my fanon battles featured. I'll think of good ideas. I promise. Hopefully someone can come up with good ideas for making fanon battles with my fanon sims too. I wish that we could have more people interested in fanon battles ever again... Sigh... I wonder what will happen if I nominate my fanons ever again...
