Talk:Introduction

Formatting

Please format your comments the same as everyone else. Otherwise it will quickly become unreadable. Your name should come immediately after everything you wrote. e.g.

I think that turnips should 
be considered a fruit. They are tasty and 
delicious, it only makes sense. -- ~~~~~

Note that 4 tildes will expand to your name and the date, 3 tildes will expand to just your name. 2 tildes will expand to simply the date.

You can also use one or more colons (:) in front of your paragraph to indent the text. More than one asterisk (*) will indent the bullet.

Experiment

OK, I realize it was a little forward to post such an important page without running it by everyone, but I really think you all will like it.

The basic idea is that the BattleMaster Basics section of the manual should be almost entirely roleplayed. I went with Tom's earlier idea, and embellished a bit and tried to make sure it would apply to a variety of cases (it's even gender-neutral!). The answers to the "questions" would also be roleplayed, which is why they're not links to the regular articles -- those links will be embedded in the answer pages, though.

So, what do you all think? --Dolohov 23 July 2005 06:50 (CEST)

I like it. I say we make the wooden badger into a running joke. :-)-- Nicholas July 23, 2005 20:46 (CEST)

Yeah, I pretty much just wanted a manual page entitled "giant wooden badger". Besides, it never actually says anywhere in the game what exact type of siege engines these are. --Dolohov 23 July 2005 21:26 (CEST)

When you mentioned a giant wooden badger, I thought of something along the lines of the trojan horse. -- Nicholas July 25, 2005 02:47 (CEST)

Also, I linked a few of the words in the article, (e.g. King, Healer, Keplerstan, etc. ) I'm not sure if the basics page should have that many links though. It might be a little overwhelming. Please discuss. -- Nicholas July 23, 2005 20:46 (CEST)

I kept the number of links down on purpose for that reason. I think the secondary pages should be thoroughly linked, with plenty of "See Also:" type references, but it might be better if this one were kept mostly free of links. --Dolohov 24 July 2005 17:03 (CEST)

I like this thing. It's a good introduction. Good work! --Tom 24 July 2005 22:17 (CEST)
