[2015-01-14 19:05:34] –>| TwistedGears (Anart@The.Expo) has joined #thisisaplace
[2015-01-14 19:05:38] <thedeadlymoose> Nah, he can stay.
[2015-01-14 19:05:41] <Roget> oh ok
[2015-01-14 19:05:51] <thedeadlymoose> Ironically, he’s the captain of the CI team
[2015-01-14 19:06:06] <thedeadlymoose> So working with us to improve the CI on the SCP wiki
[2015-01-14 19:06:14] <Roget> cool
[2015-01-14 19:06:17] –>| EdAWAC (Mibbit@synIRC-A4E40675.bchsia.telus.net) has joined #thisisaplace
[2015-01-14 19:06:21] <Roget> Hello Ed
[2015-01-14 19:06:25] <EdAWAC> This works too
[2015-01-14 19:06:28] <EdAWAC> Hello roget
[2015-01-14 19:06:38] <EdAWAC> So what do you guys wish to talk about?
[2015-01-14 19:06:39] <TwistedGears> ohey I got kicked
[2015-01-14 19:06:52] <Roget> So, about my conversation with you, Ed. I had some bad intel, and the things we talked about aren’t quite as I thought they were
[2015-01-14 19:07:05] <EdAWAC> Okay
[2015-01-14 19:07:11] <EdAWAC> Go on
[2015-01-14 19:07:13] <Roget> I apologize for that, I should have done more diligent research
[2015-01-14 19:07:24] <EdAWAC> No worries
[2015-01-14 19:07:31] <thedeadlymoose> Roget: Lemme know when to jump in, else I’ll wait for the moment unless it’s relevant
[2015-01-14 19:09:10] <Roget> I was informed the bits about your site being “coming along” and such are not in fact true, and you all have a long way to come yet.
[2015-01-14 19:09:18] <EdAWAC> okay
[2015-01-14 19:09:26] <Roget> Also one moment, let me review my logs of my earlier conversation with moose so I can be sure I’ve got it right
[2015-01-14 19:09:41] <thedeadlymoose> Roget: it’s cool, I can say stuff
[2015-01-14 19:09:58] <Roget> thedeadlymoose: oh then go ahead by all means
[2015-01-14 19:10:19] <EdAWAC> I’m all ears
[2015-01-14 19:10:20] <thedeadlymoose> Basically, EdAWAC, this stemmed from me telling a staff member that we should think about doing some more outreach to you guys, to see if we could help you guys make some improvements, and gauge whether you were even /willing/ to make improvements
[2015-01-14 19:10:44] <thedeadlymoose> That’s why I’m here (possibly otherwise an odd choice)
[2015-01-14 19:10:54] <thedeadlymoose> The staff member played telephone and then (non-maliciously) talked to Roget
[2015-01-14 19:11:12] <thedeadlymoose> Roget was under the impression that you had /already made/ the improvements we wondered if you would be willing to make.
[2015-01-14 19:11:29] <EdAWAC> Ah okat
[2015-01-14 19:11:33] <EdAWAC> *okay
[2015-01-14 19:12:17] <EdAWAC> What improvements may I inquire. I myself have a vague idea of what some of the improvements were
[2015-01-14 19:13:40] <thedeadlymoose> It’s something of a complex situation, but currently the answer is your quality standards… just as it was before.
[2015-01-14 19:13:52] <thedeadlymoose> Now: I have some sympathy with you guys.
[2015-01-14 19:14:11] <thedeadlymoose> You’ve had a lot of people telling you that you Just Can’t Do certain things, for very little reason
[2015-01-14 19:14:26] <thedeadlymoose> such as author avatars, or fun stories, or stuff like that
[2015-01-14 19:14:33] <thedeadlymoose> same as you get on the SCP wiki. I’ve been trying to counter that.
[2015-01-14 19:15:24] <EdAWAC> okay
[2015-01-14 19:16:13] <thedeadlymoose> But, honestly, the frankly biggest problem is that right now, and for your general history, you haven’t been anything but a ripoff site trying to bask in our reflected glory, and harming our image by your existence. The entire reason your site exists is because you can’t match the SCP wiki’s quality standards, plus that it’s run by underaged users who aren’t allowed on the Foundation.
[2015-01-14 19:16:21] <thedeadlymoose> That’s the reason you end up with so many of our angry banned users.
[2015-01-14 19:16:26] <thedeadlymoose> However, there is a counterpoint
[2015-01-14 19:16:51] <thedeadlymoose> This makes me consider that you might be able to improve.
[2015-01-14 19:27:03] <thedeadlymoose> So our question, internally, is: what happens if we try to help these guys more, on their turf?
[2015-01-14 19:27:23] <EdAWAC> I think they will gladly welcome the help
[2015-01-14 19:27:50] <EdAWAC> Someone once told Cad and the CIS that we are amoung the nicer communities around
[2015-01-14 19:27:58] <thedeadlymoose> You’re not, though. You’re not an actual community
[2015-01-14 19:28:05] <thedeadlymoose> You’re a few people who get along with each other fine
[2015-01-14 19:28:06] <Roget> what is cis
[2015-01-14 19:28:07] <thedeadlymoose> And that’s cool
[2015-01-14 19:28:22] <EdAWAC> abb for CI staff
[2015-01-14 19:28:24] <Roget> I saw it before but it doesn’t seem to be used in the usual context I see cis used in
[2015-01-14 19:28:26] <Roget> oh ok
[2015-01-14 19:28:34] <thedeadlymoose> But most of what you have is stuff you copy/pasted from us and a very few stories. Seriously… a ton of stuff you copy/pasted, then rewrote, that was our material :/
[2015-01-14 19:28:58] <thedeadlymoose> This is especially odd given Caduceus’ status as Wikidot admin. Why on earth does a Wikidot admin need to plagiarize a ton of our stuff?
[2015-01-14 19:29:02] <thedeadlymoose> Obviously, it’s perfectly legal.
[2015-01-14 19:29:10] <thedeadlymoose> But… unfortunate.
[2015-01-14 19:29:52] <EdAWAC> Hmmm
[2015-01-14 19:29:56] <EdAWAC> I’m not too sure
[2015-01-14 19:30:12] <EdAWAC> Are you referring to the Bell of Entrophy?
[2015-01-14 19:30:28] <EdAWAC> That’s one of the things I could think of that is based on the work
[2015-01-14 19:30:30] <Roget> You have a lot of material that is ripping off our material, beyond the bell of entropy
[2015-01-14 19:30:37] <Roget> Like, copy/pasted stuff
[2015-01-14 19:30:46] <thedeadlymoose> Literally almost everything on your site is ripping off of us directly
[2015-01-14 19:31:01] <thedeadlymoose> And off your site.
[2015-01-14 19:31:02] <thedeadlymoose> You have an O5- equivalent, a chat guide equivalent, chat room equivalents with no one in them most of the time
[2015-01-14 19:31:25] <thedeadlymoose> You have challenges and contests because we do
[2015-01-14 19:31:31] <thedeadlymoose> featured articles and stories because we do
[2015-01-14 19:31:33] <Roget> You’re going through the motions of community and following what we do
[2015-01-14 19:31:48] <Roget> We have a chat, and an admin site, because they were natural growths of things we needed to do
[2015-01-14 19:31:55] <thedeadlymoose> I’m not sure you have more than 9-10 people active in your entire community based on the ratings of things
[2015-01-14 19:32:00] <Roget> you’re going through the motions and hoping this equates to actual community growth
[2015-01-14 19:32:09] <thedeadlymoose> So why have features? Etc.
[2015-01-14 19:32:33] <thedeadlymoose> But still
[2015-01-14 19:33:00] <thedeadlymoose> I mean, you’re a spinoff site. If you didn’t have the Bell of Entropy, it would be silly. Why /not/ have the Bell of Entropy
[2015-01-14 19:33:03] <thedeadlymoose> it’s everything /else/
[2015-01-14 19:34:34] <thedeadlymoose> The point of mentioning all this stuff is that I want to know if you — if any of you — are planning on doing anything about it
[2015-01-14 19:35:18] <thedeadlymoose> I specifically haven’t picked out goofy shit like the Shrekoning or whatever because that’s just having fun
[2015-01-14 19:35:36] <EdAWAC> We did what we did cause we too also felt a need for those things
[2015-01-14 19:35:49] <thedeadlymoose> You only felt the need because you’ve never stopped ripping us off :/
[2015-01-14 19:36:00] <thedeadlymoose> You didn’t actually need any of those things; they are almost exclusively of no use
[2015-01-14 19:40:44] <thedeadlymoose> If we thought you or Cad did any of that maliciously or intentionally, we wouldn’t be talking
[2015-01-14 19:41:13] <EdAWAC> Oh okay 🙂
[2015-01-14 19:41:16] <Roget> We’d just like to help you move on from it
[2015-01-14 19:42:13] <EdAWAC> We are trying to.
[2015-01-14 19:42:16] <EdAWAC> But I
[2015-01-14 19:42:17] <thedeadlymoose> But you’re not.
[2015-01-14 19:42:26] <thedeadlymoose> At least not effectively 😀
[2015-01-14 19:42:37] <EdAWAC> l’ll admit we aren’t quite sure how to effectively move on
[2015-01-14 19:42:49] <EdAWAC> We are kinda in a dark room blindfolded
[2015-01-14 19:42:54] <thedeadlymoose> Well…
[2015-01-14 19:42:59] <thedeadlymoose> That’s part of why I didn’t want to do this /now/.
[2015-01-14 19:43:26] <thedeadlymoose> Because Caduceus is fourteen
[2015-01-14 19:43:31] <thedeadlymoose> officially I think he’s fourteen
[2015-01-14 19:43:42] <thedeadlymoose> That means until August we cannot let him into the SCP Foundation
[2015-01-14 19:43:50] <EdAWAC> I understand
[2015-01-14 19:43:51] <thedeadlymoose> And to be frank, that’s your way out of the dark room blindfolded
[2015-01-14 19:44:02] <thedeadlymoose> You need to write for the SCP Foundation and succeed by our standards.
[2015-01-14 19:44:07] <thedeadlymoose> Mind you…
[2015-01-14 19:44:08] <thedeadlymoose> two caveats.
[2015-01-14 19:44:17] <thedeadlymoose> (1) stuff like the shrekoning won’t fly on our site
[2015-01-14 19:44:20] <thedeadlymoose> But it’s absolutely terrible
[2015-01-14 19:44:28] <thedeadlymoose> Looser standards in terms of Fun Shit are a GOOD thing.
[2015-01-14 19:44:42] <thedeadlymoose> (2) I mean *quality* standards.
[2015-01-14 19:45:04] <thedeadlymoose> We have some users who will always hate what you want to write: sorta doofy old Foundation style stuff with author avatars and shit
[2015-01-14 19:45:09] <thedeadlymoose> Fuck ’em.
[2015-01-14 19:45:28] <thedeadlymoose> They have the right to their own opinions, but old Foundation style shit is /not bad/.
[2015-01-14 19:45:37] <Roget> It can be quite fun!
[2015-01-14 19:45:41] <thedeadlymoose> It’s about how well it’s written. The quality standards.
[2015-01-14 19:45:53] <thedeadlymoose> Myself, Roget, and a bunch of other staff are trying to bring some of that stuff back now
[2015-01-14 19:45:56] <thedeadlymoose> I really hate that guy, djkaktus
[2015-01-14 19:46:01] <EdAWAC> okay
[2015-01-14 19:46:15] <Roget> I’ve written stuff with old author avatars in the past, on the scp site, and it stuck
[2015-01-14 19:46:18] <thedeadlymoose> And… another caveat
[2015-01-14 19:46:26] <thedeadlymoose> Your site has a lot of serious problems that I am not sure CAN be fixed.
[2015-01-14 19:46:30] <thedeadlymoose> But I don’t /know/.
[2015-01-14 19:46:36] <thedeadlymoose> And you may never get official recognition.
[2015-01-14 19:46:38] <thedeadlymoose> However.
[2015-01-14 19:47:10] <thedeadlymoose> If you can succeed on the SCP wiki — if you can peddle the CI canon you wish for on the SCP wiki, or get more people to collab with you, or create new fun interesting material —
[2015-01-14 19:47:14] <thedeadlymoose> then you’ll have won anyway.
[2015-01-14 19:47:26] <thedeadlymoose> The problem that you have is the same problem we have.
[2015-01-14 19:47:34] <thedeadlymoose> The CI wiki is both the dark room and the blindfold.
[2015-01-14 19:47:47] <thedeadlymoose> If you can succeed on the SCP wiki, maybe it won’t be anymore.
[2015-01-14 19:48:05] <thedeadlymoose> Also…
[2015-01-14 19:48:20] <thedeadlymoose> In the coming month or two, maybe even sooner, we’re promoting GOIs again.
[2015-01-14 19:48:46] <thedeadlymoose> In other words, you /could/ try to introduce CI stuff that you enjoy + created onto the mainsite, and see if it gets accepted, or altered, or…anything else.
[2015-01-14 19:48:52] <thedeadlymoose> Because there’s a place for it.
[2015-01-14 19:48:54] <EdAWAC> okay
[2015-01-14 19:49:28] <thedeadlymoose> (Technically, you could do that right now, but the CI hub was in a bit of a bad way — this is part of why I didn’t mind TwistedGears lurking for this conversation; he led that team, and he knows how difficult writing the CI is)
[2015-01-14 19:49:35] <thedeadlymoose> (But we’re going to fix it up. Etc.)
[2015-01-14 19:49:53] * TwistedGears is lurking so hard u gais
[2015-01-14 19:50:04] <EdAWAC> Hmmmm
[2015-01-14 19:50:04] <thedeadlymoose> Also, none of this requires deleting the CI wiki as it is now. Or even (at first) changing it at all.
[2015-01-14 19:50:27] <thedeadlymoose> I have to be blunt that I don’t like the CI wiki because it’s harming our site, even in a smallish way.
[2015-01-14 19:50:34] <thedeadlymoose> But I’m also a sucker for a good redemption story.
[2015-01-14 19:51:01] <Roget> the comeback ci
[2015-01-14 19:51:17] <thedeadlymoose> I also am more interested in you & Caduceus and maybe some other actually active CI members, so even if the CI wiki fails — as it probably will, and already has — I wish for /you/ to succeed.
[2015-01-14 19:51:25] <thedeadlymoose> I mean, hell, you certainly have stuck around long enough.
[2015-01-14 19:51:34] <Roget> they’re like the comeback cats, only one is professional hockey club and the other is a small offshoot writing site that wants to do stuff
[2015-01-14 19:51:35] <EdAWAC> For 1 year no less
[2015-01-14 19:51:40] <thedeadlymoose> And if the CI wiki succeeds, I’ll be happy to be proven wrong.
[2015-01-14 19:51:48] <thedeadlymoose> 😛 Roget
[2015-01-14 19:51:50] <thedeadlymoose> lmao
[2015-01-14 19:53:36] <EdAWAC> okay
[2015-01-14 19:54:38] <EdAWAC> Well the site was a lot more active now than before
[2015-01-14 19:55:00] <EdAWAC> Back when we first started it was just me and Cad around the site talking to one another
[2015-01-14 20:06:25] <EdAWAC> I’m thinking of a way to deal with that issue
[2015-01-14 20:06:38] <EdAWAC> And I had procyonlotor look it over
[2015-01-14 20:07:36] <thedeadlymoose> Well, to be honest
[2015-01-14 20:07:37] <EdAWAC> Actually surprisingly he did not flip out at me when I banned him
[2015-01-14 20:07:51] <EdAWAC> > Cryosim I was talking about
[2015-01-14 20:08:05] <thedeadlymoose> It mainly sucked because of how bad wikidot’s setup is. I don’t blame them for it, but it’s pretty bad. And it got worse because of Caduceus jumping in to defend him.
[2015-01-14 20:08:20] <thedeadlymoose> Though I should add: I thought his post was otherwise pretty much fine. And he did make an effort to be professional
[2015-01-14 20:08:50] <EdAWAC> He did tell me he wanted to fix relations as best he could between wikidot and SCP
[2015-01-14 20:08:55] <EdAWAC> Yesterday
[2015-01-14 20:08:56] <thedeadlymoose> Caduceus?
[2015-01-14 20:09:00] <EdAWAC> Yes
[2015-01-14 20:09:06] <EdAWAC> want to see a pastebin?
[2015-01-14 20:09:09] <thedeadlymoose> Sure.
[2015-01-14 20:11:21] <EdAWAC> Wait dammit it’s not there
[2015-01-14 20:11:23] <EdAWAC> XD
[2015-01-14 20:13:38] <thedeadlymoose> You may be able to turn it into a canon.
[2015-01-14 20:13:51] <thedeadlymoose> And see if you can edit it to the point where it’s good quality.
[2015-01-14 20:13:57] <thedeadlymoose> Also, what would you do if people would want to bring in Foundation site stuff to your wiki related to the CI?
[2015-01-14 20:13:58] * EdAWAC strokes metaphorical beard
[2015-01-14 20:14:29] <EdAWAC> I think I would personnally see how it goes
[2015-01-14 20:14:42] <EdAWAC> and it it meshes I would whole-heartly accept it
[2015-01-14 20:14:46] <thedeadlymoose> You have a really nailed down canon for… very little reason
[2015-01-14 20:14:57] <thedeadlymoose> The fact is, the stuff you came up with is kinda medicore?
[2015-01-14 20:15:00] <thedeadlymoose> *mediocre
[2015-01-14 20:15:02] <thedeadlymoose> It’s not all bad
[2015-01-14 20:15:10] <thedeadlymoose> Like, I really like the term Falchion Valley for example
[2015-01-14 20:15:10] <EdAWAC> Yeah I’ll admit to that
[2015-01-14 20:15:13] <thedeadlymoose> But it needs work
[2015-01-14 20:15:28] <EdAWAC> Cad came up with the term for that actually
[2015-01-14 20:15:34] <thedeadlymoose> It’s a good one.
[2015-01-14 20:15:50] <thedeadlymoose> And “Haos” is silly, but it’s not unacceptably silly. It could be made to work.
[2015-01-14 20:16:16] <EdAWAC> Haos is Serbian-Croatian for Chaos
[2015-01-14 20:16:34] <thedeadlymoose> I know~
[2015-01-14 20:17:01] <thedeadlymoose> Also… a side note
[2015-01-14 20:17:08] <thedeadlymoose> Your site is really pointlessly hard to read
[2015-01-14 20:17:11] <thedeadlymoose> Just a thing to consider
[2015-01-14 20:17:38] <thedeadlymoose> But, I’ve gotten distracted
[2015-01-14 20:17:59] <thedeadlymoose> The way we’re arranging things, you could full on bring all of your GOI stuff to the SCP wiki, and try to make it a canon, and see if it can work.
[2015-01-14 20:18:07] <thedeadlymoose> And if not, see how to change it.
[2015-01-14 20:18:17] <EdAWAC> Sure
[2015-01-14 20:18:30] <thedeadlymoose> The point is that it’s an opportunity to learn to write better shit
[2015-01-14 20:18:40] <EdAWAC> I actually have time this time
[2015-01-14 20:18:46] <EdAWAC> 😛
[2015-01-14 20:18:56] <thedeadlymoose> And learning how to write better shit means automatically higher quality standards for the rest of the CI wiki
[2015-01-14 20:18:57] <thedeadlymoose> 😛
[2015-01-14 20:19:17] <thedeadlymoose> And again, even if the CI wiki fails
[2015-01-14 20:19:17] <EdAWAC> Yes Soulless has told me that before
[2015-01-14 20:19:20] <thedeadlymoose> You’ll be a better writer
[2015-01-14 20:19:25] <EdAWAC> Yep
[2015-01-14 20:20:07] <thedeadlymoose> And, hell.
[2015-01-14 20:20:31] <thedeadlymoose> The CI wiki is almost as likely to fail because it’s a crap idea as it is that you guys are having difficulty running it.
[2015-01-14 20:20:48] <thedeadlymoose> You /could/ maybe fix the idea.
[2015-01-14 20:20:53] <thedeadlymoose> But there’s nothing saying you guys couldn’t potentially create another spinoff site, if you can’t.
[2015-01-14 20:21:11] <EdAWAC> Well we’ve committed to the CI site
[2015-01-14 20:21:17] <EdAWAC> So we decided to stick to it
[2015-01-14 20:21:19] <thedeadlymoose> Meaningless. 😉
[2015-01-14 20:21:29] <thedeadlymoose> “We’ve committed to an outrageous ripoff of the SCP wiki”
[2015-01-14 20:21:30] <thedeadlymoose> 😉
[2015-01-14 20:21:36] <thedeadlymoose> But again. You can fix it.
[2015-01-14 20:21:42] <thedeadlymoose> Also, you should probably stick with it /now/.
[2015-01-14 20:21:46] <EdAWAC> Yes we can fix it
[2015-01-14 20:21:49] <EdAWAC> We are
[2015-01-14 20:21:50] <thedeadlymoose> What I said would be something to consider in, like, a year at earliest.
[2015-01-14 20:22:07] <EdAWAC> okay
[2015-01-14 20:22:16] <thedeadlymoose> Eh, that’s the thing. I want to be clear. You haven’t been fixing it. But you /have/ been sticking with it.
[2015-01-14 20:22:18] <thedeadlymoose> And that’s something.
[2015-01-14 20:22:24] <thedeadlymoose> Whether bad or good is up to you and Cad.
[2015-01-14 20:23:20] <thedeadlymoose> At least you haven’t rage-deleted the wiki and shat on everyone 😛
[2015-01-14 20:23:24] <thedeadlymoose> Like the other spinoffs 😛
[2015-01-14 20:23:40] <thedeadlymoose> It’s something of a shame.
[2015-01-14 20:24:06] <thedeadlymoose> I honestly believe that if you two hadn’t been just trying to copy the Foundation, you would /already/ have something terribly impressive. >_<
[2015-01-14 20:24:21] <thedeadlymoose> Rephrase, actually
[2015-01-14 20:24:32] <thedeadlymoose> I honestly believe that if you two hadn’t been just copying the Foundation, you would /already/ have something terribly impressive
[2015-01-14 20:29:23] <thedeadlymoose> Even if they have good writing.
[2015-01-14 20:29:27] <EdAWAC> Yeah I’ve noticed
[2015-01-14 20:29:34] <EdAWAC> MC&d
[2015-01-14 20:29:35] <thedeadlymoose> Just like yours isn’t doing so well, despite… two years?
[2015-01-14 20:30:02] <EdAWAC> I guess…..
[2015-01-14 20:30:12] <thedeadlymoose> The Wanderers’ Library site is /mildly/ successful, but that’s because it brings a lot more to the table — it’s definitely not SCP knockoffs. We do get traffic
[2015-01-14 20:30:50] <thedeadlymoose> That’s part of the issue, though
[2015-01-14 20:31:04] <thedeadlymoose> The Library /does/ have high quality standards; we got an io9 article and everything
[2015-01-14 20:31:12] <thedeadlymoose> and we still have only 400 actual registered users
[2015-01-14 20:31:32] <thedeadlymoose> so, even if you do succeed with the CI wiki… it might never be very much success
[2015-01-14 20:31:38] <thedeadlymoose> Clef deleted the GOC wiki for a reason, after all
[2015-01-14 20:31:50] <thedeadlymoose> This isn’t really anything you’re doing wrong, mind you
[2015-01-14 20:31:58] <EdAWAC> I understand
[2015-01-14 20:32:00] <thedeadlymoose> It’s just stuff you should probably know
[2015-01-14 20:32:18] <EdAWAC> Thank you for informing me on the matter
[2015-01-14 20:32:29] <thedeadlymoose> 😛
[2015-01-14 20:32:50] <thedeadlymoose> Nah, I’m not really officially informing you of anything at this point
[2015-01-14 20:32:52] <thedeadlymoose> This is just talk
[2015-01-14 20:33:11] <thedeadlymoose> Because I’m curious to see what you’ll do, and how things will unfold over the next year
[2015-01-14 20:34:28] <thedeadlymoose> Also, thank you for actually signing on and talking. 😉
[2015-01-14 20:34:44] <EdAWAC> No problems
[2015-01-14 20:34:51] <EdAWAC> I already finished my coursework
[2015-01-14 20:34:52] <thedeadlymoose> What do you plan to write next?
[2015-01-14 20:35:19] <EdAWAC> I was thinking of a supplement report for my item: The End of Days Engine
[2015-01-14 20:35:27] <thedeadlymoose> Okay.
[2015-01-14 20:35:32] <EdAWAC> Termed the Dark Star Falling Incident
[2015-01-14 20:35:39] <thedeadlymoose> Why not write something for the SCP wiki?
[2015-01-14 20:35:54] <thedeadlymoose> if you want to try to hit high quality standards, you could start now…
[2015-01-14 20:36:04] <EdAWAC> I’m still thinking of what to write
[2015-01-14 20:36:04] * thedeadlymoose pings Roget
[2015-01-14 20:37:15] <Roget> hi
[2015-01-14 20:37:26] <Roget> sorry I was distracted by a fallout new vegas lp
[2015-01-14 20:37:37] <EdAWAC> No worries
[2015-01-14 20:37:48] <thedeadlymoose> Roget: I thought you might have some recommendations of what Ed might try to write for on the SCP wiki. Maybe part of a project, or a canon
[2015-01-14 20:37:51] <EdAWAC> I was watching a WOt review on the Vk45.02 b
[2015-01-14 20:38:39] <thedeadlymoose> because my recommendation is that you, Ed, try to write some stuff for the SCP wiki (as well as the CI wiki, that’s fine); and once we can let Cad onto the site, I recommend the two of you try to write some CI stories for the SCP wiki and see what happens
[2015-01-14 20:39:21] <Roget> EdAWAC: if you can give me some material, interesting material, which I am willing to work with you on, I would be willing to let you participate in a project I’m working on
[2015-01-14 20:39:46] <EdAWAC> Sure
[2015-01-14 20:40:01] <EdAWAC> I would be happy to
[2015-01-14 20:40:27] <Roget> Alright, just send me a writing sample to start, involving your major characters to give me an idea of what their characters are like
[2015-01-14 20:40:30] <Roget> and we can move from there
[2015-01-14 20:40:37] <Roget> how long do you think that would take you?
[2015-01-14 20:41:13] <EdAWAC> Well depends on what you mean by major characters and specifications for a writing sample
[2015-01-14 20:42:01] <Roget> major characters, as in your characters which are most usable, and writing sample is I just want to get an idea of what your writing is like when you’re trying to shoot for wiki quality
[2015-01-14 20:43:21] <EdAWAC> Well I kinda have a character I thought up 2 days ago
[2015-01-14 20:43:34] <Roget> Not that one
[2015-01-14 20:43:39] <Roget> your established characters
[2015-01-14 20:43:49] <Roget> the ones that’ve existed that can be found on your site
[2015-01-14 20:44:35] <EdAWAC> Well I have not really created a major character on the site
[2015-01-14 20:44:40] <EdAWAC> That I’ve wrote
[2015-01-14 20:49:08] <EdAWAC> Well I’ve written the Haos Doctrine
[2015-01-14 20:49:16] <thedeadlymoose> Ah.
[2015-01-14 20:49:17] <EdAWAC> The Personnel Designation page
[2015-01-14 20:49:26] <EdAWAC> an entry for Project Haos
[2015-01-14 20:50:30] * thedeadlymoose nods.
[2015-01-14 20:50:35] <thedeadlymoose> Well, you know what to do~
[2015-01-14 20:50:41] * thedeadlymoose afk
