FYOP

In regard to follow your own plot, it's rather hard to find out what was the last number used for the unwritten links, so I thought ethier we could put unwritten in all the unwritten link so they'll appear on the list, or put a last used number on the first page. (this lastone has some problems because if one person forgets it messes the whole thing up.) what do you think? The Liar 08:14, 9 March 2008 (PDT)

I personally find it much easier to use the "Show preview" button before hitting "Save page". That way, if the link is red, I know the page number hasn't yet been used. If it's blue, then it has. Another way you could do it is to look at http://www.fembotwiki.com/index.php?title=Special:Newpages (maybe keep it open in a separate tab) and refresh it when you need to check. Or if you remember to add the category to your new pages, you can check http://www.fembotwiki.com/index.php?title=Category:Follow_your_own_plot (refreshing as needed) to see what page number comes next. I think creating pages marked as empty would be a bad idea, because then you wouldn't be able to use those 3 techniques. Robotman 09:57, 9 March 2008 (PDT)

Um, those methods don't work. Even if a number has been used in a option it will still apear red if no one has put anything in it, nor will they appear on any of the lists. Example: FYOP/The Lab Scene/0003 or seen as Very artificial both in appearance and bahaviour?. The Liar 10:30, 9 March 2008 (PDT)

Oh, sorry... I thought you were asking something slightly different. I haven't really thought about that one.... you could try whatever you think would work best. Let me know how it works out... and if it's a good system, you can include it in the FYOP instructions. Robotman 10:32, 9 March 2008 (PDT)

It occurs to me that adding options is unnecessary unless you intend on using them, as people can just put whatever option they want when they plan on continuing the story, there by sidestepping the problem.The Liar 16:36, 9 March 2008 (PDT)

That's sort of my line of thinking. This kind of thing is rather tricky to keep sorted out, isn't it? Robotman 16:53, 9 March 2008 (PDT)

Unsorted Pics

I've uploaded the rest of the pics that have been sitting on my hard drive for a while - now saved for posterity. A lot of them look like Xeran's work, but I'm not sure, so I'll leave it to you or someone else to sort. I don't want to misplace any credit! Drrotwang 21:16, 8 April 2008 (PDT)
