As someone else said, noone would build a ship out of dirt, nor would they bring it with them. And well, it might not be dirt, but it seems to be and I still find it likely that it has something to do with the ecosystem. And it's worth a try. But i'm still not sure, did they really destroy the palm?

Thanks. Regarding the wiki, would you mind if one was created and maintained for you without any active participation required from your side? I'd like a statemant on that before I do anything.

I am still feeling uneasy about having a wiki for my works, even if I do feel honored about it. Maybe it is the fact that my story isn't finished yet (so did Submachine???) and the fact that I been considering doing a redux version of the story once everything is finished with the one we're doing now (I am calling it a "beta build" maybe ).
Just my feelings.

You mean that we must deal with unfinished plots and potentially separate canons? That's not uncommon and not so difficult do do. Besides, It can't be worse than nothing, can it?

Lot of what you see happened in the story would be kept more or less intact (except for commands and posts that use copyrighted materials... They will be gone). What I'm considering for the redux version is redesigning the environments while keeping its spaces and purposes intact, add more details to plot and characters, and create new commands and dialogues to highlight said plot and characters.

There's won't be any separate canon as everything in the story is exactly what you will get, something that can stands on it own without needing additional materials to flesh out whatever there are. I seek to show everything in the story.

As for the wiki, you can go ahead and create one, granted that you credit the story only to my alias, - ak -. I'm not ready to unleash my "other" name out there yet until I'm ready to do the redux version (speaking of which, I should change some of the images.) That's when I'm ready to unleash the story to the wide wide intrtaweb

Thanks.

Also about the dirt... They're earth. As for those trees... Maybe they're dead, maybe they're trimmed. Yes, Ulom ate them, but it was intentional on part of Ener and Maddox and others' needs to escape. So they all did it.

That looks interesting

If that's the case, I could help you with the wiki, Crystal

[Ancient Crystal]

Thanks, I'll need that. Should we go for a creative name like "The Of Empathy Logs" or something simple like "A'llukin wiki"? Or is removing the "wiki" at the end more involed than I think?

Edit:
It seems I accidentally created the wiki when I aborted the creation guide to ask this question... Well, I guess I'll just have to start working on it.
Here you go, the A'llukin Wiki

fail

[Ancient Crystal]

Indeed. First thing to do is probably to clean out all the default nonsense Wikia puts there. One moment.

[Vortex]

Ok, we'll need pages for the story itself, characters, locations, maybe items&puzzles, background history/timeline/etc.... what more?
Also we'll need to change the theme of the wiki to something more suitable. Maybe we could ask -ak- for help with that

[Ancient Crystal]

Never done this before... should the default templates be enough for our articles?
I think we should focus on the characters and items, as they're abundant and the least complex.
I'm already working on the theme. I've added the A'llukin logo as background, though it still has to be rescaled. I'll update the page colours with hex codes I pick from the logo when I figure out how to use the purple in a way that doesn't look too horrible.

Also, we (I) did say he wouldn't need to lift a finger, perhaps we should stick to that?

Yeah, I think they will be enough. Anyways, if at some point we find out we'll need some template, we can create it. Also, we'll have to edit templates such as the infobox to match the theme we choose, but that can be done later.

Agree. That should be a good way to start filling the wiki with content

Ok then

EDIT: AAAAAGH! MY EYES! REMOVE THAT PINK! REMOVE IT! XDD

EDIT2: I created the first article I was to add an infobox, but those infoboxes are lame, they have no option to add cells of my own... I guess we'll have to copy it from the SubWiki or something.

EDIT3: ak, do you give us permission to crop your images? For example, I'd need to trim an image to get a picture of Ener and use it in the corresponding article. Of course I will make sure to add the corresponding license to the images (copyrighted image uploaded under author's permission).

[Ancient Crystal]

As for the colours, that should do it. Perhaps we should add a disclaimer regarding eye damage caused by experimental updates?
An article? Good, That's a start. What about article protection, do you think we should do something about that?
