@Arkandel said in Wiki and You:

@Lotherio Reasons why I like wikis:

  1. You can hang things such as maps images, format long lists into tables so they're easier to read, include hyperlinks to reference material - all things you can't due due to telnet limitations.

  2. Since you can't edit bbposts custom pages are far more suitable for many tasks. For instance I've used a 'plot index' before, pointing to all the logs in a particular story I'm running along with some basic information regarding what it's about OOC, hooks into it, what people might already assume they know IC regarding it, etc. If I had to do it on a board I'd need to delete the old one and repost every time I want it updated.

These two, double these. To have maps and reference material. Even if you put in +news all the rules of the game, having reference tables on a wiki is way easier to have open while running scenes. And just a second of plot coordination.
