News:

that the Minmatar military specifically recruits hardened criminals for service in its elite Valklear units, and that many of the Republic's most senior officers were originally recruited in this way?

Does it make sense to create a separate wiki here? I tend to think that character and player corporation descriptions belong over in EVElopedia, and probably a lot of the collections of lore info, but perhaps others have other ideas?

There was some discussion about it, and I think the concern was that we do already have the official Eve wiki. So the question was what purpose would a new one serve?

I'm under the impression that if it's something that people want, a wiki is something we might be able to set up, though.

What would be needed to make a Wiki project worthwhile would be a pretty massive project leaning heavily towards ArrPee and scraping together all the shit from various broken, abandoned, decrepit, or just shitty eve-wikis all over the internets, and editing their content to spin that OOC straw into IC, RP-compatible, accessible-to-rookies gold.

How 'bout it, O ye Inspired Stagehands? Are you man enough? Woman enough? Capsuleer enough?

Sounds like a herculean effort.  Daunting  :eek:

This is a forum on steroids tbh. The rate at which content worth reading is being generated could get you pregnant.

Ashar's welcome to try whatever, but as I think more about it, EVElopedia seems like a better and better place.

That was mainly my point, yeah. You kind of have to really work to improve on EVElopedia now, despite its glaring flaws. It's official, etc.
