Somarium needs an IC guide, yes?
Hey guys! So I believe a couple of players out there (including myself) have tossed around the idea of there being some sort of IC guide for the characters to have of all the information they've learned through the game. Chlor (Anguished One-mun) actually PMed a draft she made that sparked this conversation and I have permission to share as an example! Check it out here.
In the end the guide won't look like that, but it would be a basic info dump of what the characters know and don't know about Somarium.
Since the characters do learn different things in different ways at different times, I think it would be cool if a group came together to share what they have and clarify any discrepancies and misinformation that's gone around. Of course, we know the truth, but they don't, so misinformation being called as "correct" information? Totally acceptable. It's an IC guide, with the stress on the IC.
I already have Kid slated to help participate, but I wanted to know OOCly who would like to throw their characters in on this little project. Older characters would of course be more advantageous, but even those who recently arrived can join in and even pose questions to the team to ask what's what and such. Also, the information has to be ICly: obtained, inferred, and/or reasoned. There has to be some reference to how they got whatever information they had, and I'll be here to make sure that accidental metagame doesn't happen. Like I said, wrong information is A-OK, but information that was never even given out except in OOC pages not OK.
In terms of how this will be done, I'm thinking I could make an IC post asking for volunteers, but OOCly I'll set up a GoogleDoc that those signed up can come and fill in. It can be edited and people could leave comments to make sure it works, but then once we have a "final draft" drafts of sorts, we can format it and it'll be dispersed ICly. This will be done by having it like a downloadable file set on the network that anyone, both old, new, and future characters will have access to. It can also be updated and corrected as time goes on.
So if you're interested, just comment here! You can also go ahead and throw up any content of interest or questions that should probably be addressed in it.

Ooh definitely! They haven't started investigating/experimenting/etc yet but when they do you can bet I'll contact you :)
