Election attempt

While a failed bid for election is certainly not notable enough to blather on about for paragraph after paragraph about minutiae and platform, a referenced note of the attempts in a "Personal life" section should be fine, it is a notable detail about a subjects personal life IceBergYYC (talk) 11:32, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for finding the Trivia tidbit. It is, in my opinion, much more relevant to the article than the failed election events. Regarding the segue into Zork, I would much rather have a reference to Anderson finding Colossal Cave (and The Four wanting to improve upon it), than the current suggestion, that "success" with Trivia was the impetus for Zork. I write success in air quotes because a) the game market back then was basically non-existent and b) this is way before any commercial endeavors. There just was no success to be had. Cheers and keep up the good work CapnZapp (talk) 17:35, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
