The EPA Wiki Chat Thread

[Ran Exilis]

Allright, now that the project's got a wiki, I might as well post a Chat-thread for it...

I've already added a chronological entries list (http://encyclopedia-post-apocalyptica.wikispaces.com/TL0-EntriesList-Chronological) and an updated yet still incomplete global TL (http://encyclopedia-post-apocalyptica.wikispaces.com/TL0-TimeLine-Global) so far, and I see that Big Tex has already made a page about Galvez Town.

Also, a question: should we copy the actual entries to the wiki?

[Bruno]

I say yes - why not? Make it part of the entries section.

[Bruno]

Going through the timeline, I notice a few inconsistencies (mostly because we were still fuzzy on the exact date of The Fall for the first few dozen entries). We need to shuffle a few of those dates around at some point.

[Big Tex]

Galvez Town is for the most part finished!

Even added the dates to the TL. Also I think there might be an issue with the AF dates...they seem out of order, hence my "?'s". Anyone know anything about why this is?

I think that's my bad. Probably screwed 'em up when I input them.

I figured it was either that, or that the years of the AF calendar(s) start at a different time of the year (propably midsummer). I decided to go with the latter for the time being.

We can also do something with this, btw - IIRC noone has elaborated on the whole AF calendar era yet.

[Big Tex]

Sounds good guys, I'll keep the "?'s" until further notice

Also I wanted to say that I'm a huge fan of the Galveston google ads on the Galvez Town page. "Would you like a cruise with your post-pocoyptic stay?"

[Ran Exilis]

Well, seeing as noone seems to have any problems with it, I'll start copying the entries to the wiki now.

Hey, if you have to edit mine, do so by all means. (At least when it comes to grammar.)

Oh, by the way, what is your opinion of my Ispanika entry?

[Diamond]

Well, seeing as noone seems to have any problems with it, I'll start copying the entries to the wiki now.

Don't feel like you have to do them all, man. I mean, if you want to that's great, :D but you definitely don't have to.

It's allright - I've got the time.

And for some reason, I find cathegorising and uploading all that stuff strangely relaxing.

[Diamond]

You were born to be a librarian. :)

[Ran Exilis]

Allright, I've begun writing up drafts for index pages on the wiki.

I've started with a sketch of an index about the mutants and other humanoids (http://encyclopedia-post-apocalyptica.wikispaces.com/TL0-Index-Mutants).

I'm quite sure that I've still forgotten or overlooked a few types of mutants et al, so any help with making these lists is welcome.

..
Also, a little question for GBW: are the Cleavers and Eeries actual mutants, or are they still essentially human?

Still essentially human in overall biological terms.

[Diamond]

Don't forget the Methed mutants of the Green Hell in Flurda.

Entry looks great; nice and simple and relays the necessary info without confusing people new or old.

[Matt]

And the Mutons at some point, though I haven't gotten into any sort of specifics with them yet.

[Ran Exilis]

Allright, now that the original project has officially been brought to an end, I'd say it's time to update the wiki as well...

I had an idea for reorganizing the wiki by marking the relevant pages with the tags TL0 (the original project), TL1 (Diamond's Motorcycles & Mutants remake) and TL2 (my own Cocaine & Kalashnikovs remake).

The page urls would have to be renamed (like from "Entry-Atlanta" to "TL0-Entry-Atlanta") in order to avoid confusion and leave room for different articles about the same things.

And on a related note: Diamond, if you're OK with this, could you make me an Organizer over at the wiki? - only Organizers have the permission to rename page links.

Done; you should be able to now.

[Ran Exilis]

Awesome!

I'll get to work right away.

[Ran Exilis]

Gentlemen, behold (http://encyclopedia-post-apocalyptica.wikispaces.com/TL0-EntriesList-Chronological) - a complete chronological list of all entries of the original EPA project, all of which have been properly tagged and posted on the wiki, complete with the author, wordcount and original date of posting of each entry.

Now, the entirity of the original project is guaranteed to be safe and secure even in the event of the worst possible database or Yahoo server errors.

[Diamond]

I applaud you, sir!

[Bruno]

W00t! Double w00t!
