Loow here. Bringing you a few fun questions to see what sort of projects you'd like to do.

What does this position mean to you? (Short Essay prompt. One sentence minimum. Interpretive dance accepted as alternate form of answer.)

What sort of sections would you like to develop on the wiki?

What is your least favorite species in Aurora Lore?

Keep in mind, these questions are primarily for my own amusement and to gauge you as a team member while sparking discussion. Feel free to answer some or none of them.

Honestly this position is more for me to give back to the community. The wiki as you all probably know is quite bare bones in a lot of departments, so my hope here is to just pitch in with something like this to help everyone else out. My biggest hope from this is to allow some newer-ish players have an easier time getting into our community. SS13 is a steep game to learn the ins and outs so newer players can struggle. I know we are heavy RP but new players will always turn up no matter what we do, at least with a fully built wiki we could throw guides and links at them that should point them in the right direction.

 

What sort of sections would you like to develop on the wiki?

 

I'd probably start with guides, atmospherics and engineering as that's my main in game department. After that I would hopefully have a much better understanding of what is needed in the wiki and will move on from there.

 

What is your least favorite species in Aurora Lore?

 

ICly for my characters, Vaucra. OOCly probably Unathi.

Hello! I'm the head loremaster for Aurora. I'm also the Unathi overseer.

I'm glad that you're interested in contributing to the wiki and the areas you pointed out do need more work on them. I've been trying to find someone to help make a good atmospheric guide; I'm really good at it but I'm terrible at the technical or mathmatical side of the job, and I don't know anyone else who knows the optimal sensor settings for air alarms, or even that the sensors exist.

Anyway, give me the rest of the 14th to mull over this with my team and I'll get back to you! I would like another wiki-dev; what I need most desperately is semi-reliable contributions. Can you make contributions, big or small, at least once a week?

That shouldn't be a problem for me, I should easily be able to do once a week.

I asked lorechat if you had Discord and no one responded, and I let it stagnate. For that I apologize! Could you PM me your discord information? Once I have you on Discord we can work on getting you the permissions.
