Though now I wonder, how do we handle transactions on the Player Market? Was that ever discussed?

I've taken the Sibilus out on a mission, but I only got to use it to shoot Grate with. Hrmmm. First blood for the weapon, and it's a teammate......

Par for the course.


If someone buys the cube, I'll tell them something !!Fun!! about it.

Fixed.

It's pretty informal and player driven right now. I just setup the initial page so that we could start playing with it and eventually have this conversation :P
We can come up with a more formal set of rules now if you'd like.

My rules would work like this.

1) If you wish to buy/rent at the posted price, simply post in On Ship, referencing the Market page, and the deal is done. So long as the item is actually on ship, we can say the AM handles such transactions.
2) If you wish to negotiate, PM the owner. When you agree on a price, both of you will need to make a post in On Ship: one from the Owner confirming the price, one from the Purchaser confirming the transaction.
3) If there are any conditions on the sale, such as 'only for Fleshtechs' or 'Must use item', the Owner and the Purchaser will need to make a post to resolve them

Seems alright to me, though #3 seems a little odd. I PM'd him about in this case regardless, since it's the first transaction. Can't wait to spend tokens to kill myself!

Yeah, I feel like #3 got away from me, and could easily be wrapped into #2 :P

Essentially, the second rule would be if either side wants something negotiated, take it to PM and both post when in agreement. Could be the Purchaser about the price or a payment plan, or the Owner who wants to only rent to new players, or who isn't sure about a purchase price, or whatever. A good example of something the 'owner' might want to put restrictions on would be the Heph Experimental Items, if we were to put them on the 'market' (which might not be a bad idea, just so everyone knows what's going down the pipe from Heph for testing)

Black market prototypes! Hoo yeah.

It might be good to have player names on the list as well as character names, to make PMing easier.

Yeah, I think that would be good to happen everywhere on the wiki. I had the player names next to the character names in the Mission 14 page before someone edited it because I sometimes forgot how the character was named.

For some reason that's certainly just paranoia and in no way justified, I think we may want to try and limit mission 18 to 15 or so people. <_< >_>

That was probably me. I prefer links to the character page rather than the player name, since the character page has the player name. We can fix that, at least for the player market and for sign-up lists. I'd prefer to leave the Mission pages clean.
Heck, if I wanted to be clever, I could probably add a contact column to the market that would link to a PM on the forum.

Anybody got any spare CON weapons I could borrow? Just in case I need to leave Gilgamesh?

I believe it is better for the wiki to be useful than clean. It is meant to be used, not to look good.

And considering I sometimes forget the player names, I find it more useful to have player names besides character names in mission lists, so that if you want to check who is who, what equipment and bonuses they have, etc. or if you want to know if the guy talking is on your team, you can do it with a quick glance, without having to go through links or searching.

Because yes, if you know the character name, you can learn the player name with a click. But if you know the player name, you have to search the player name (or go to the character index page) find the correct character and then click on it. And that takes a lot more than simply clicking a name.

Besides, I don't think having the player name in parenthesis near the character name in mission lists like I had it looks that bad.
