TCO Wiki?
« on: August 02, 2011, 06:57:53 pm »
Hey.

I've been discussing with Chimto and Killa about making a Wiki of TCO. There are a lot of characters and places yet to be revealed. It would put some more effort to the story and makes things easier to understand, the story is a lot more complicated than you might think.

I'm not sure how to even create one but Chimto will probably do it or something. Of course I could do it too but first I must create this new version which is indeed very close. Just testing and bug fixing.

My personal opinion is that if you guys are interested I'm interested too. However I don't want to do everything by myself plus my English isn't very good so it would be better if you guys actually can do most of the text. Of course I can come help and put some more information.

Also making a Wiki will take years so it's better to start sooner than later, all the text don't need to come in one night, we can improve it when we have time. If this is going very good, actually it will also help me a lot with the coming blog and book project. This I will start sooner or later.

So what do you think about this idea? It's like going once again to a next step.

It's not quite a problem, seeing how creating new wiki's on Wikia is pretty easy...
Along the shore the cloud waves break,
The twin suns sink behind the lake,
The shadows lengthen
In Carcosa.

Strange is the night where black stars rise,
And strange moons circle through the skies,
But stranger still is
Lost Carcosa.

Songs that the Hyades shall sing,
Where flap the tatters of the King,
Must die unheard in
Dim Carcosa.

Song of my soul, my voice is dead,
Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed
Shall dry and die in
Lost Carcosa.

I think it's a pretty good idea. A personal area dedicated to TCO information that's neatly organized seems helpful. Chimto seems ready to do it.  Honestly, who is this hurting by doing this? There's nothing to lose.
I got two playthroughs now. One on Extreme and ****! Be sure to check them out in the Walkthroughs Sub-Forum.

I must agree that this is indeed a very good idea. A wiki could be a center of learning to newbies as a good place to put together all the info we got until now.  ;)
I usually don't hang in chat, so if you want, for some weird reason, communicate with me, send me a pm :)

My favorite character is
Phodom, Fradz is insane. And... Galeoth

Yeah, like what is The Life Link, who's the yellow text guy, who's the icy guy in chapter 5, mystery of Omega Monster, Icy Mountains, other espers, why animals attack each other, why some become mad suddenly, what are death knights and what different dragons are after, etc, etc, etc.

I like the idea, I would probably modify or write some articles for it if we did make it.

On a side note if we do this we should add a link to the wiki in the navigation bar of this site.

It seems that peoples' votes have been in favour of creating the wiki, so now I'm searching for some (preferrably 3) people to serve as its initial admins and bureaucrats. You'll need to have some free time (about 1 hour per day) and very good English (better than Aero's).
Oh, and a banner too.
(Note: I won't create the wiki until everything is prepared accordingly)

Yea of course that will be done.

1 hour per day? That's pretty much. Well, maybe first few weeks. So who's willing to help us?

Unfortunately, I can't put time into this, even though i would have liked to, but I will try to help getting it all together if you guys need help sometime. Let's say I can be a part timer :)

I know it's still very early to discuss this but i would like to propose a summary of what the Wiki would be like. This is just a suggestion and I haven't really played the campaign yet so I don't know if there's something to add or what but this should be pretty compleate.

  • Home page (talking a bit about what's TCO)
    • History
      • Background story (before chapter one)
      • Chapter one's event
      • Chapter two's events
      • ... (etc.. including interludes or what's suposed to happend between and we don't know)
      • After the story (Maybe?)
    • Walkthrough
      • Chapter 1 (A guide to compleate the chapter at 100% (all quests and items))
      • ...all chapters
    • Lore
      • Phodom (history, skills, levels req, starter packs, possibly a couple of build (skills and items to take))
      • Fradz (same thing)
      • Galeoth (same...)
      • Beastiary (including bosses, and all their skills)
      • Other important NPCs
    • Items (items will be listed in their appropriate section with the description, where and how to optain it)
      • Starting items
      • Equipment (Not including set items and synthesis items)
      • Sets
      • Synthesis
      • Potions
      • Scrolls
      • Food
      • Honor Shop
      • Other
    • External links
      • Official website (tcocampaign.com, duh!)
      • Download (hiveworkshop link)

Sounds like a great idea and I want to present myself volunteer for helping. I'm not very good with Lore yet my perfectionism helps a lot with items/chapter-walkthrough, just give me a list about my part of the job and will be done.

Good. We now have our first editor (beside Aero and me).
Anymore volunteers?

My English is good.
