If you look to the upper right corner of the RPOL menu you'll see a link for "Game Wiki". We have one now. I figured this game has gotten so full of places, names, events, etc, that it would be good to have it all down in a structured format that's easy to look things up. Heffe and I have been working on it for a couple weeks now. I think it'll be very helpful.

It's not complete, but nearly there, which means you might find some blank pages. In a few other places the info may just be copy/pasted from game text so it still needs to be formatted into a proper "wiki-style" layout.

Big thanks to Heffe for doing most of the work.

Suggestions welcome. Contributions welcome too.

I've only glanced at the game wiki but it's a fantastic idea. Thanks for Fuse and Heffe for doing this.

With contributions can we edit ourselves or do we need to submit something and for one of you to post it?

Regarding the missing manpack radio, did the vehicles return to base? If they didn't and one of the drivers has a radio then they could potentially be a relay point to pass messages along.

The plan was for the Humvees to return to base after dropping off the patrol so they’re no help with in resolving the radio problem.

Thanks for confirming - it's a pity as I thought that I'd had a bright idea! :)

They're very few and far between.......

No worries and thanks for confirming.

OK, I think consenus is to check out the campsites fist and leave the village until later (if at all).

I'd rather not tell people what to do so if you can say whether you want your pc to be in the scout team (going closer to the campsite) or the overwatch team (self explanatory).

This time round Kessler will stay with the overwatch team.

I was thinking that Per should pull over-watch again- his primary weapon is well-suited to the role, and his 6/16 UMA score could come in handy if we get the chance to subdue someone on the trail.

Regarding the wiki, I think it’s a permissions thing - the permission to create a new page in the wiki looks like the same one that grants rights to delete entire threads in game. I think we should be able to edit existing pages though, just not create new pages. I would say that if you want to create a new page, just msg Fuse, then once he makes it you should be able to edit it all you want. At the end of the day, the wiki is supposed to be for everyone, so if you have ideas, please throw em out there!

Map is updated.

So to reflect the tactical situation, please refrain from OOC discussion on what to do. Like your characters you can't exactly plan things out. Not unless you want to risk detection anyway. Check the map to see how the two people will move along the trail in respect to where your PCs are set up. They'll pass one pair of Mad Dogs before the other. If you need clarification just ask.

Argh! What a cliffhanger you're leaving us on!

Relax and enjoy, Fuse. You've definitely earned a GM break.

Spent a little time updating the game map this afternoon to include some more locations based on the information from the wiki. I wasn’t sure which icons were supposed to be used for which types of locations, so I just did my best. :) Feel free to change the icons or edit descriptions as needed. Or if it feels overly cluttered, we can delete them too.

Ended up adding a bunch more locations to the game map today, but I’d like everyone’s thoughts. Are the new additions helpful at all, or do you all think they just clutter things up? Adding everything was super fast, so if we want to just delete the newly added ones it’s not like any time was wasted.

I don't think it's too cluttered. Separating them as they have been helps.

On a different note I'm having second thoughts as to the people in the forest. I was convinced they were bandits at first but not anymore. Anyone else think that way?

In reply to Ferro (msg # 21):

I can't decide. It just seems strange, if they are the villagers, that they're camped out in the woods outside the ville. There's enough doubt in my mind, however, that I've consistently pushed to confirm their identity, despite the fact that it would be easier and less risky for the Mad Dogs just to assault the campsite, no questions asked.

Speaking of risky, I hope Fuse is able to resolve the current turn soon. The suspense is really getting to me.

Fuse,

Are you Ok with us discussing the situation in the village and forest camp at a macro level? I have some potential theories but I wasn't sure if you were happy for us to discuss them in the OOC as it might impact immediate tactical responses to the current situation.

Ta,

Andy
