Universalis Wiki

[Mike Holmes]

For those who may not be aware, I am starting a game of Universalis using the innovative Wiki web technology. The game is hosted by the inimitable JB Bell. To get in on the gaming goodness, go to Indie-Netgaming and check it out.

As the game develops, I'll be posting back here with the specific rules, and updates of what's going on with the game.

I'm optimistic so far that it's going to be a blast. Hope to see everyone there.

This is going to be great!
Using Wiki seems easy... its just writing really, no more code than replying to one of these Forge messages.

We're getting close to our starting number of players, so, if you're interested in playing, get in touch with Mike Holmes or JB Bell, or make a post on the indie-netgamer Group on Yahoo.

I can't wait to see what happens!

Universalis Rocks!

Some thought on useful Wiki pages for the Uni game
MasterComponents
SettingLocations
PropsItems
MainCharacters (named High Importance)
SupportingCast (named Low Importance)
CameoWalkons or BitParts? (no name thugs etc)

Some ideas,

[Mike Holmes]

I think I see where you're going with it Bob. Quick reference sorts of pages? That makes sense. I'm sure other ideas will become obvious as play progresses.

I've had the advantage of having already attempted a world creation in a Wiki, so I have some definiter ideas. I'm also just as sure that they'll have to get modified as we get into play.

Just a couple of days till we kick it off. :-)

A couple days!
Cool!
Did I mention how much I like this game?

Can't wait!
It especially nice that its on a webpage, no having to time getting together or anything!

Yeah, kind of an organization scheme.
I have my Uni-game index cards sorted that way.
I have the netgame files collected like this too. It makes it quick (especially for new folks) to see Who are the Important characters? What Master Components are in play etc?
Glad you have some experience and some ideas!
Thought I'd throw out my two cents.

Keeping things organized enough so that people (old and new) can keep up with what is happening and what is changing will be important. I don't think it will be too hard!

[Mike Holmes]

I don't do waiting well.

The game is afoot!
I've even abused my position as moderator to post my first Tenet before anyone else can. Come on over, and start posting to the TenetSet page. Remember Charter Members that you're starting with 15 Coins.

It seems that a couple of Charter Members have not registered yet. Please do so, and get with it.

For those who want to take a peek at this thing in it's infancy, just come to http://www.eschatek.com/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=UniversalisWiki

If you want to go directly to the action in the TenetSet use this link: http://www.eschatek.com/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=TenetSet

We'll be accepting new members as soon as normal play begins.

Edited twice to fix links.

[Bob McNamee]

Yea! It has begun!

My Tenet is posted!

Goldarn Wiki crap.  You people don't seem to realize it took me a year to figure out the ins and outs of PHP for crissake.  I can't figure out anything on that Wiki board...not to mention I can't remember my user name and password.

What a maroon...

[Mike Holmes]

For those who may have problems with Wiki, or just want to check it out, here's a like to a page called One Minute Wiki. That should get you going quickly.

If anyone has questions, concerns or comments about the Wiki format, or the layout of the website (which is evolving as I write) please mail me here or at: Homeydont@hotmail.com. I'll be glad to talk about it.

Contact JB Bell here or at the site for problems with registration.  :-)

Tenets are done and normal play is about to begin!

[Bob McNamee]

Beat me too it Mike!
I was looking at the Tenets last night thinking ,"We should bring in elements of the Forbes takeover soon."

Logged in, and there they are!

The question is "What's in the box?"

Fun stuff,

               Bob

Stop by and join in folks!

[Bob McNamee]
