Did you ever ACTUALLY play this guy, or was he just an annex character? -gm

Only played him in those few "James Buck" dungeons crawls we did when we were too fucked up to do any actual role playing --Msallen 10:10, 14 December 2009 (EST)

Well, keep that in mind when this guy comes out of the oven. He's a lot more me than you : Brilliant, Self Doubting, Self Loathing, Generally sullen and bitter. -gm

Are you kidding with these entries?!?! Self-filter FTW... I recommend no more than 5-6 headings. Not that anyone reads our hard work, but this will run people away immediately. Summarize the important points, and put in links to separate pages with extra details as necessary. Your Sterros article is intimidating enough to edit... --Msallen 10:15, 14 December 2009 (EST)

Or, sub-headings.-Slitherrr

This is what you get when you taunt me. To be fair, Mythrian is the Paul of our little religion: the single most important and formative figure. I'll grant, however, that Mythrian's relationship with the various important personages could be one heading (Relationships) with various subheadings (..with Seros, with Alexandria, etc.). How do you make subheadings in the ToC? -gm

It adds them automatically, use more = signs.-Slitherrr

It's still just a game though... we don't need an article to rival Napoleon's wikipedia entry here. I left out a ton of stuff that I wanted to write about Sayeed: relationship with wife, motives for passing the crown, other wives and children, etc, in a (failed) effort to make the page readably short. If you really fill this in, the chance of anyone other than us 3 reading it is 0%. --Msallen 10:39, 14 December 2009 (EST)

So, the odds are the same if it's short or long? Well, to the long form! Also: This article is about 500% more important than Sayid, since it's about the actual church the players actually worship and on the continent they also live on. Part of the reason it's so long is because I'm going to use it as the Go-To page for telling the entire story of Alexandria - we don't actually have anything like that yet. So, I'd say in that context, some of the things that might come off as trivia somewhere else are actually a little more relevant. -gm

True that they probably won't be read no matter what. But I still think its far more sensible to summarize Mythrian the person here and then create other major articles to flush out the other parts. Similar to how we only briefly touch upon the doctrine of Sayeed and Sterros in their entries, and then discuss it in detail in other sections. --Msallen 10:48, 14 December 2009 (EST)

PS. I was sorry to see that the wikipedia entry for Paul hardly talks about how he was a vicious cocksucker that twisted the teachings of Jesus into a load of hate-mongering. Just that classic Jefferson quote. What a shame.--Msallen 10:48, 14 December 2009 (EST)

I'm with ya. We'll see how long this thing is when it's done. But, you DID taunt me, and we DO need a one-stop place for the clerics to figure out just what their religion is all about, rather than having them piece stuff together from disparate entries. If such a document is going to exist, I think we can do worse than making it this one. My goal is to be at least 4x the length of the Sayid article. ;) -gm

PS: I can only IMAGINE the sort of edit wars that take place about Paul over there. The mind reals. The conflict between Peter's millennialism and Paul's evangelism is a way more fascinating conflict than Wikipedia could ever hope to address. -gm

Holy crap, mediawiki's no good at simul-edits. Here's what got cut: -Slitherrr 10:26, 14 December 2009 (EST) Never mind, you got it. -Slitherrr
