The wiki!
A primary network tentacle of our very own!

Hi, folks!

I'm sure you all know by know that we have a wiki, found at http://intimation.glitterbook.com/wiki/Main_Page . While it is still evolving, it is already a wonderful resource, and the teamwork that has gone into the page for our current puzzle (a.k.a. "the skulls page") has been phenomenal. Go team Very Happy!

It has been suggested that this thread be created so we can make wiki-related announcements and post requests for "things to do on the wiki." If you would like to be involved in the wiki, but aren't sure what to do, keep an eyeball on this thread, and jump right in!

Oh, and if you don't know how to edit a wiki, see the "Help" link in the sidebar of the wiki for some good resources. It's not that scary Smile.

(Sorry for the double-post, but I considered that first one an "introduction to the thread" kinda post and this to be a separate, uh, thing. Also, sorry that this was already posted in the massive Trailhead thread before this thread started.)

Announcement: we are going to use a page in our wiki to compile questions for the post-game PM chat. There is a link to this page from the "News" section of the wiki. A wiki page is ideal for this so we can edit our questions if any get answered or need tweaking as the game continues to play out. Feel free to contribute your questions!

Dear PMs: you can read the questions there, but you may NOT use that wiki page as a way to get out of a PM chat Smile!

A few questions have already been posted. Please refrain from editing the questions of others without their permission. Also please try to avoid editing the page when someone else is (using IRC to ask if anyone else is editing the page first, then perhaps changing your nickname in IRC while you are editing, is a great idea).

Things to do

If your looking for areas to edit on the wiki, here are some suggestions to start:

* Transcribe an mp3 or two or three or more of Essy's Story


* Make pages of the Missions Logs from the text found at http://thewaytheirworldended.com/missionfeed/

* If you've got a knack for writing summaries; a "Story So Far" page would be great!

* Info about Eridanos and his blog

* Add a page for The Society (SFTA)

Any help is appreciated!

I've added a glossary page (link is found in the Resources section of the main page) and a few entries, but I'm sure there are many more terms that could go up there as you think of them.

Edit: I've also added a link in the Puzzles section to a list of the puzzles sorted by category, so it is now easier to quickly find, for example, all the sand paintings (just look at all the pages to do with hostile tentacle attacks). Too bad that wasn't ready when you guys wanted to check all the sand paintings for skulls, but I can only work so fast on my own, heh Smile.

Edit 2: I added a small section on Eridanos' family, including all the tweets mentioning his wife, to the bottom of the page about him. We now have confirmation that he has a child already (a son) in addition to the unborn daughter that he is so happy about.

Again, this is about a day and a half since I last posted in this thread, so I don't consider this a double-post Razz.

One of the puzzles is really bothering me: http://thewaytheirworldended.com/ENDLESS-BOXES/ . I'd really like a diagram of the path to follow to get "AN A-MAZING FIND" to show up in the question-mark boxes at the top of the page...I can't figure it out Sad. If you can make this diagram and post it, yay Smile! If you can also upload it to the wiki and edit it into an appropriate spot on this page, even better Very Happy!

P.S.: I'm not talking about the way the puzzle was modified later to get astronomical objects' ID numbers to pop up, but the original solve (which should still work).

Thanks, dante Smile! Ah, I see part of my problem was that I always checked off the "START" box, plus I didn't know where I was supposed to end up. I've added this diagram to that wiki page now.

The wiki is nice and full now, we're fully caught up on a lot of things, yay! I reserved a page for the write-up of the Portland mission, which Dav offered to do when he has time (he's pretty busy right now), so I do know about the one broken link in the puzzles lists.

Other outstanding requests, repeated from drizjr's list above (and I won't be tackling these as I have other life stuff to focus on right now...plus I have never been good at summaries as I am very details-oriented Razz):

...or anything else you think needs doing and are able to do Very Happy!
