My goal this weekend is get a good chunk of information on to the wiki, where it will be easier to search for, and sorta trim down what you need to read before joining, and reorganize things.

If you have any input feel free to share. My two main questions are:

What information do you know we have but have issues accessing?

What information do you know we don't have, but feel we could use?

That reminds me I should do the page for Chris shouldn't I? *Face palm* As soon as I can brain for more than half hour increments

I noticed a few things that pretty much only applied to me because I'm working with all non-Tribute/non-Victor characters.

- All of the rules/apps/info is mostly geared towards people apping Tributes. I totally get why, because that's what people are most likely to app, but it makes apping someone who isn't a Tribute a little confusing. For example, not having a clear idea of how long I have to wait until I app another character, not having a sample prompt that fits my character's situation, etc.

- Can you clarify the two characters from one canon thing. If someone only wants to play characters from Hunger Games, does that count? For example, if I wanted to app someone like Caesar Flickerman would that cap me at HG characters because I now have two? Would the OC I made up also count for the HG canon or is he exempt because he's an OC?

Basically, I just want some clarification about people apping non-Tribute characters. I feel like that might make apping non-Tributes more attractive to people too.

So before I become redundant in my explanations, what is unclear about the current playercest rules?

Well, mostly if a mun wants to only play Hunger Game characters, do they count for the rules about having only two characters from the same canon. The reason I ask is because the game is set in this world, so they could have characters that have nothing to do with each other.

For example, I play Cinna. Say I also wanted to app Caesar and Madge. They'd all not interact but they're still three characters from the same canon. The current rules just say only two characters from the same canon, which makes sense if they're being pulled into this world. I'm just wondering if there's an exception for character that are from this world.

Also, if OCs set in the Hunger Games world count against that 2 characters or if they don't.

Hmm. I will have to bring that up with the other mods to see, because it's a good point.

So, as long as you aren't committing playercest, you're fine for up to 4 same canon characters.

Ooh, wiki! I only have had a few problems that have come up, this place is run really well.

The information about applying for second characters isn't really accessible by the same page as applying for a first character, IIRC. I found that a little counterintuitive.

Also, I have no idea who the mentor is for District 1, if there is a designated one. I checked the NPCs list and the taken characters list and I'm still not sure.
