I was thinking about setting up and hosting a wiki for our little Mafia community. I thought we could have game histories (players, roles, who won, etc), articles for specific players (win loss records, sort of like a profile page), game mechanics like roles and other things we've come up with, and some useful information for new people on the basics of the game. I know that mafiascum.net has their own wiki, but I was thinking this one would be tailored to our community and focused on keeping a history of our games. I thought I'd gauge the interest level before I started. So, what say you? Good idea? Dumb idea? Don't be afraid to criticize, I can take it --FCOD

I think that's a fantastic idea. I would be happy to help you out in any way I can. I don't know how much I could do (other than help write articles) but let me know.

It sounds like it might be interesting; a good resource for checking memories of past games, or for new players to look up references we make.

It doesn't sound bad at all. I'd be willing to help out any way I can.

All righty then. I'll try to get the software up and running this weekend, and then we can all contribute as we see fit!

For the in-jokes section, how should we title the new "What's your stance about Shoes/Fight Club" joke about claiming and/or posting restrictions?

Great idea. I'll help however I can.
I had totally forgotten that I was mentioned in the very same post where the Top Dog reference was birthed from zuma's loin-brain. ;D

While I think directly linking to the topics on the SDMB is good as a TEMPORARY thing (NAF, heh), I would hope that eventual articles (like the others are, in the Mafia Games games section are) would be written for them. I suppose it's a bit of a long shot to hope that all of the people who have modded the games would write their own articles, huh?

I finished up the first two games and was going to start on M3 now. I will move onto the rest of my games after that, skipping the games that people who are still actively involved here created and ran. If in a couple of weeks there isn't anything still I will do those games too. The direct links are only on that page right now so I don't have to go looking for the links every time. Also it gave me the chance to re-skim Werewolf and M2. Anyone looked back at those recently? The nostalgia factor, for me at least, was surprising.

How about Posting Restriction Workaround or something to that effect. Just pick something...we can change it later when someone thinks of something better. ETA: I'm moving some of this discussion to the Talk:Main_Page on the wiki. --FCOD

Spent some time working up my history, then did articles on Shoes and the Chia Bingo Manager. I still need to work through my Dope games and add them to history.
Memories...

I've added a page for Famous Last Words. If you guys can think of any more good ones go ahead and add them.

Do you have to sign up to edit the wiki? Man, you made this at the perfect time FCOD.

Naw, dude, just click the happy little [edit] button and you're good to go. And you can be like me, and steal your coding from Zeriel.

I'm thrilled with the level of enthusiasm with the wiki! I've always thought the concept of a wiki was friggin sweet, and now that I've had first hand experience with setting up and managing one, I know it for a fact!
At least it gives me something to do during Nights, right?
