Wiki related suggestion~
« on: January 23, 2012, 10:28:21 pm »
I'm.. pretty certain I'm in the right board for this.
Even with the additional bio space, for some of the more serious roleplayers it can be hard to fit everything about their character in (combat stats, history, personality and appearance, ect).  One solution is hosting all the information on weebly, or freewebs, or some such thing.
I suggest than instead of that, we start a second LoB wiki, dedicated to the characters and clans currently part of the game.
Anyone could create and edit a page for their characters, clan leaders could have them for their clans, ect.
I understand that it would take a lot of moderation, but I think it could work. And I would be willing to help maintain the wiki, by fixing vandalism and generally cleaning up and such. 
I have no idea how good this idea is, so go ahead and bash me all you like. I just think it would be nice to have all the character data together in one place, for roleplay purposes.

From the experiences of the first wiki:

we do not have (mind you) staff to take care of a free-to-edit wiki that might also be plagued by bots (it means also more maintenance for me).

I am not against giving people enough space to put in their RP descriptions, but in this case, having it ingame would be better.

The maximum space of the additional bioinfos is 65k bytes, if you need a "spec sheet" or something like this, you may suggest that.

Writing the history/stats/whatnot in a text editor and pasting them into SL would fit my bill.

I see your point, they're hard to staff.
A spec sheet would be interesting, what kind of things should it have on it?

If members are requiring more space, like Neji said, that can be accommodated.
I recently increased the limit tremendously.

With more space being utilized, a spec sheet as Neji mentions would make sense.
