Plot Summary Project!
Hey all! It's your friendly neighborhood mod Karl here with something of an announcement.
The mods have recently been discussing the fact that it is very difficult for players to look up the game's plot history, as well as links to events and information revealed over the game that are common knowledge. Therefore, we've decided to finally kickstart the Plot Summary Project!
The idea is fairly self explanatory. This project aims to go through each and every past plot and major IC event and catalog them in an easy to use format so people can keep up to date on all plots, even ones they haven't participated in. The current format we intend to use will include a detailed enough summary to give a sufficiently thorough understanding of what happened during a plot, as well as provide links to major events and reveals from the plot. The current intention is to add this to the wiki, where individual pages can be made for each plot which are linked to by a single wiki page. If you have another idea for an improved format, however, please say so here.
The current form we will be using is this (please feel free to comment with suggestions for improving this):
Plot Name
Start Date: [use earliest post tagged for plot if unclear]
End Date: [use last post tagged for plot if unclear]
Overview: [write a condensed summary of all important events in the plot from beginning to end]
Important Information: [post links to parts of threads that contain important pieces of information regarding the plot, such as big reveals or plot exposition]
However, we have three years worth of plot history to go through and catalog, meaning we'll be needing volunteers to help out with this. Mod helpers are automatically volunteered unless they have need to opt out. If you're interested in helping out, comment here! We will try to arrange it such that no person has more than 2 plots to work on, but if we get enough volunteers, we might be able to manage 2 person teams to work on some plots.
Thanks in advance to those who sign up!
