I'm seeing some problems with wiki - namely, Nekhekara's page is seen only till turn 5, though you can see a story from them at turn 19 (or close to) page. It's possible that other nations' stories can also be unseen.

That's not a problem with the Wiki, that's a problem with the editors who still don't know that they're supposed to put their stuff on their nation pages and edit the turn pages directly instead.

lch · #**363** February 18th, 2009, 04:21 PM

Nehekhara was the only one that started editing the turn articles. And stopped after turn 19, because then nobody added turn articles anymore... :P I have now created a template for the turn pages so that there's not more than one line and a warning messages NOT to edit this page in them. Somebody from this game please continue to extend the turn pages in the same fashion from turn 19 on, and every time when a new turn has been played and a new turn page would be needed.

As for the nation pages, all one needs to know and understand is that the page is being broken up into section for inclusion on the turn pages. The code to mark the seperators for these sections looks like this:

Code:

}}
== [[Chronicles:Turn_XYZ|Turn XYZ]] ==
{{#ifeq: {{{turn|XYZ}}} |XYZ|

Replace the XYZ in there with the number of the turn that you're describing, it all has to be the same number there, but you don't need to place those seperators for turns that you don't have any text for. You can leave them out for better readability of the nation page and add the required separators when you get to add story for the turn later, maybe.

I have to admit I am getting admin fatigue in this game given the abysmal level of participation. Anyone want to take over?

On a related note, I managed to get an EM from TC after the last couple stales, and didn't seem like he wanted a sub, but now I see a couple more stales and nobody requesting extensions. R'lyeh attacked TC this past turn (my turn was submitted last night). Got back from the doctor's this afternoon and I see turn has hosted and TC staled again. I don't want to attack a staling player but I also don't want to have to change my plans because someone is not playing their turns. I don't care what we do with TC or if we even bother to continue this game.

A pity, I'd say. Our little dance just starts to really get interesting...

By the way, I'm voting absolutely against turning TC into AI. And who are other stalers?

I believe the pace is a little fast for this game. People are supposed to write something, but with the fast pace it seldom allow them to have the time writing anything. I suggest at least 72 hours with quickhost on.

I would love to read from Machaka / Otherling again. The first turns looked very promising to me and made it to the top of my list.

Totally seconded.

(lol, you wouldn't expect KRISTOFFER to stale

)

I think initially the idea was for 48hr per turns, with postings about 1/4 days (more often if author feelas up to it). It would allow to skip some of the turns when nothing really happened to concentrate on more interesting occurrences. Of course, Kristoffer have shown that there is plenty of possibility to fill even less interesting turns with internal matters. But I don't think that could be expected of everyone everytime...
I would also like to see how Machaka story would develop - and I'd add to it a Man story, which also had a promising start. As it is, I like Tien Chi and R'lyeh stories best for now...

Ok, hunt11 asked for a one week break so I am going to add 84 hours. I'll leave it up to players to ask for extensions or tell me when people are staling since it has been a bit of a drag tracking down players and trying to figure out if they are still in the game or want a sub, etc. Also, I repeat my offer to turn over admin duties...

It would be nice if players with only one or two entries can use this week's break to give us some updates on the wiki. If someone is not interested in writing anything more, then in the spirit of the game, it would probably be best for that player to look for a sub. There was once a lot of demand and interest in this game so I am guessing we could find some writers...
