Mafia Wiki

[PolarBoy]

Oddly, I was contemplating suggesting that we have a wiki. Cool. The one thing missing now is an easy system for addressing the wiki from within the message board. Essentially, I think it would be cool if, in a game, I said LeptonsGambit and it automatically linked to the WikiWord without the gratuitous board tags I used in this post. But this is cool.

Did I mention that you'll find me constantly refactoring and polishing pages pages from here 'til eternity?

There's a convention, but it doesn't visually distinguish WikiWords from normal words. So with automatic linking someone could easily make a WikiWord for "I" and it would be linked every time someone referred to himself in the first person. Very annoying. Which is why I advocate the use of CamelCasing for WikiWords. It'll make linking the wiki much less of a hit-and-miss affair.

By the way, I've taken the liberty of announcing DocumentModeMafia. Sign-ups have started for 12 players; 11 still to sign up. I'd prefer players with a modicum of experience, as this is not a normal game.

Part of it is purely for experimentation. As to Wiki being a less suitable medium, I am doing things that can't be done on the board. Also if you read the rules you'd also see the unusual provisions for voting and keeping a position.
