So, anyone got any ideas about payment schemes for write-ups? Thing is, some missions need more work than others, both because some already have some stuff written, and because some missions are longer than others. Could just go straightforward and say 1token/2 missions, seems easiest for me, but would mean some tokens are very easy to earn, and others much harder. Or I could try and guesstimate how much work any mission write-up would be and determine pay like that, but I think I'm too lazy to do that.

[Ozarck]

I think I would look at the wiki, determine which pieces need done on which missions, then offer tokens based on number of pages needing x amount of work. Use my pay as a baseline, since I was assuming a token per x amount of pages read, with a summary and synopsis presented.
This week, If you like, I'll (try to) look at the wiki and see which missions have which needs, in my limited understanding, and offer a payment plan.
I wound up with about one token per 250 pages? I think?
Which would mean that one mission set with about 250 pages spread over 4-5 missions (50 pages per mission) and needing 3-5 synopses and 3-5 summaries would pay about one token. I'd weight missions needing synopses more heavily than those needing only summaries. Simple edits could pay one token per ten synopses clarified and formatted, with the assumption that the editor is already familiar with the mission and need not read the whole thing in order to do the work.

Define page. 10 posts? 25? 50?

I'd be willing to join the reading and summarizing for dosh bandwagon.

Define page. 10 posts? 25? 50?

I was on 15 ppp. Forum default. hmm Either way, take the sum of pages found in missions 6 through 9b and divide by five.

Spoiler: maths (click to show/hide)

A quick look gets me 450 pages in 25 post format, or 750 in 15 ppp [which means I got one per 150, not 250], or roughly 11,250 posts. So 1/5th of that for a token would be 2250 posts, 150 pages in 15ppp, 90 in 25ppp, etc)

Also, Aoshima, feel free to verify with PW / the rest of the team, but Dester is probably the lead for M26, since he acted in that role throughout almost the entirety of M23, with the blessing of PW and support of the crew. And add Saint to the M26 roster, though we haven't met him IC yet. He's been accepted ooc.

Aigre, how it works is this: there are several sets of missions that have incomplete pages on the wiki. What we have done in the past is claim one of the sets of missions via discussion with Radio_Controlled, who oversees this activity. He confirms, and then you get to work. You read the mission, and edit the relevant wiki articles, adding or modifying the summaries (the short, one or two paragraph descriptions) found on the main "Mission Synopsis" page, and then edit or add the synopsis, found on the page for that individual mission.

Suggested things to include in the synopsis: mission goal, arrival, introduce any major npcs, a walkthrough of the major actions taken

Spoiler: trivia (click to show/hide)

(note that you can ignore most rp and actions that have little to no effect, unless said action was expected to have a major effect. three pages of "they got up, got dressed, ate breakfast, then character x argued with character y about metaphysics in video games .... and then they had tea and character v made an innuendo .... sleepytime ... " wouldn't be noteworthy, but "He pressed the nuclear detonation button, but the bomb failed to explode" might be worth mentioning)

, tempdeaths, permadeaths, altered states of being, major actions taken by npcs / enemies / the universe (which hates us), and the conclusion of the matter (success? failure? something like it?) as well as any artifacts or objects of interest retrieved.

1 token for about 30-ish pages (at 50ppp) seems easy to work with. Next to that, taking missions in batches of 2 prevents very short missions of screwing with this system. Rounding can be decided by looking at how much was written already. I think that'd come to about 1 token per 2 missions most of the time, with long missions giving maybe 1 or 2 more.

And yeah, Ozarck's got the right idea about what goes into a mission's write-up. You can always look at past missions to get an idea for what goes in and style and such.

EDIT: Made a list: http://einsteinianroulette.wikia.com/wiki/Team_Fund

Also, made it official that anyone can do these jobs. If newbies want something specifically, I'll have to think of something else.

[Aigre Excalibur]

I call dibs on 21, 22 and 23. I'll get it done by this week.

[Ozarck]

bah. those are missions I have familiarity with. I could probably write them up in my sleep.
I am interested in, but not calling dibs on, m10 and m11.

[Nikitian]

I wonder, how should the current Limbo journey be apprehended? I.e., if it's recognised as continuation of M21, you might want for it to end before writing the full synopsis. Or it could be written together with M25, I guess.

Also, for some reason M21 was removed from "Current Mission Information" and considered 'closed'. While I can understand the sentiment (the thread is closed, the mission is officially over), our little Limbo adventure still needs a page and a cheatsheet (so far, I've been using M21's one, but it is missing Xael), and I think appending this "continuation of the story" to M21 and bringing it back to active missions list would be much easier than inventing a new mission number and copying almost everything over from M21 page&cheatsheet.

We're still alive there yet (even if ARM doesn't know it IC yet)! Our final fates deserve being scribed down and remembered!

Funny thing about that. When I start editing the page in classic mode and write [[Saint, the wiki offers me Milno instead. Well, he is a saint, but anyway. Actually, even the wiki search bar does the same thing.

[Parisbre56]

That's because of this: http://einsteinianroulette.wikia.com/wiki/Saint_Milno?redirect=no

[AoshimaMichio]

Ah, thought that coud be the case.

[Ozarck]

"Steve Saint" will get you who you are looking for.

This link will also get you there

Nikitian, M21 is done. You are all talking about a double level up at teh end of your journeys Through the Angles. You are now on M21L (for limbo) or something like that. I don't recall that the first team into M2 got a double level up for being rescued by the second team sent in after them. And since you guys have opted to run your Adventures in Oddspace concurrent with M25, I'd saya second wiki page would be appropriate.

[Nikitian]

Well, I'd still say M21 is not done because there hasn't been any debriefing yet. It should have been closed, but we kinda decided to push the matter and continued it (albeit in a different thread). But that's semantics, so I digress.

M21L is a fine mission designation if you ask me. Just let's see what our mighty ARM leadership has to say on using non-standard mission indices.

[Parisbre56]

I say put it in mission 25. Both because it makes sense, since they are happening at the same time and in the same place and because it would make things easier if they are rescued, since they'll end up being on the same thread. It's like they're just another team in mission 25, only on a different thread.
