Considering "everyone else" teams are rather far away from each other maybe Mission 20 page should be split into A and B pages? Thoughts?

Seems reasonable

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

I'd say no personally, keep things in one place.

Here's reminding people that if they're on an archive binge then adding more flavor or information from the older missions to the wiki is a thing that's both useful for the wiki and nets you tokens if you're a newbie.

Edit: damn fingers.

Very true, that's easy tokens to be earned at no risk.

I've been meaning to ask people though, should we lift the 'newbie' restriction for token earning for these jobs? I think it might stimulate some people who now fall out of the restrictions to write stuff.

I'd say keep it as it is at least for a while more. Now we have a thread where people can say exactly what the wiki's missing and we also have more visibility/chance to prod the newbies into doing it.

The wiki gnomes can also be judges for whenever we need to analyze quality vs quantity. Complete and humorous mission pages are certainly worthy extra brownie points.

By the way, Aos, if you want you could make a page on the wiki for your minigame, in case it helps to keep track of things.

At moment I don't see need for it. It's still small enough.

I've mentioned this elsewhere, but since we have this convenient place to remind people now... :P

I'm redoing the Character Index this week, after the missions go out tomorrow.

PW: we already have pages for the missions setup, right here, with direct links to the characters involved. These lists will not be impacted, and you should be able to reach any mission relevant character from there. The index should still be accessible during the edits, but no promises :P

Everyone: Here is my current plan for the reorg. First, I'm going to re-sort the Character Index into the following categories, in this order
  • Current Mission, Separated out by individual mission or team
  • On Ship
  • Unassigned, new characters who have not yet been on mission
  • Hepheastus, not that it matters too much :P
  • Stasis, or currently inactive characters
  • Dead
The idea of this re-sort is to make it easier to find active players, by moving inactive and dead characters towards the bottom of the index (and maybe onto another page altogether in the future)

I will also work on the Completed Missions column, to make it more consistent, up-to-date, and useful. And to better show off Milno's accomplishments.

Please leave any comments or suggestions of things you'd like to see done to the Character Index now. New fields, different categories, etc.
Again, I'll begin edits on it this week, after the missions go out.

The column with short descriptions (which mostly say human) is redundant, methinks.

I'd imagine it helps with picking people for missions if you just want a short overview of what the inmate is.

It should list notable skills then.

Yeah, it could be restructured to list combat roles like 'medic + uncon' or 'battlesuit' or stuff like that. Unique slots like Lyra or Xan would get a designation to notify the person looking of course, but that might work? Dunno.
Of course it's not my decision :P

That's why I had the "Role" variable in the PC template. It was carried over from the time I had a notes post so that RC could decide who would go on which team. So one could use "Soldier" to indicate a gunman "Heavy Soldier" to indicate a gunman using heavy weapons, "Flying Armoured Heavy Soldier" would mean someone with a mobility battlesuit, etc. Generally making it easy to identify what people are good at at a glance. And people with special things got special titles, like "Bullettime Samurai" or "Medicat stealth Witch".
