WFR Guild Members

2005-12-22 [xido]: dividers will be added after final Guild Tag is made, and both can be inserted later, but for now, we may use hr dividers.... Whatever the Mods feel is best for now.... same password as WFR pages

2005-12-22 [Leara]: Muhahaha, as a guard, passwords mean nothing to me! *evil*

2006-01-06 [xido]: lol, yikes... is it that easy for you, really? Linking: The League of Accepted Characters

2006-01-06 [Leara]: I can edit even private wiki's, last time I checked. :P

2006-01-06 [xido]: whoa... crazy. I started at the bottom, and got up to Nightshadow before I lost interest, and felt like it was someone else's turn. I haven't added any wiki page links to those char pages, but I did list the wiki names in parentheses after each member. We don't need to make it alphabetized, but maybe a rank order would be nice, after we have all of our mods/GMs listed... ???

2006-02-06 [xido]: HUGE FAVOR TO ASK EVERYONE: Please check out the Elftown Water Fountain Design Contest for me, and see if you have any ideas, comments, or questions about it, so that I can have a sort of FAQ about it before it is opened.... when I have three other people's approval for the layout and format of the contest, it will be opened soon after... Thank you, and please msg me with these comments, etc. I would prefer to have them in my mailbox instead of on this page, or even that one.... send your words straight to [xido]....... awesome, thank you immensely.

2006-02-19 [xido]: This page is now active, but it needs to be moderated soon... I am focusing on the Rules & Guidelines for now... These usernames need to be first, followed by a characters LIST page, which will house the formailzed list of their characters.... I edited up to [Nightshadow], then stopped.... More will come later. Are you both watching this page, though?

2006-02-25 [xido]: Are Leara and Blood raven both watching here? I thought Leara was.... Just checking, guys. x.o

2006-03-05 [Kim_Lundin]: Added links, will now check them ^_^

2006-03-05 [Kim_Lundin]: And most of them worked! I'm not sure if "Isle Royale of the Aquaean Elves" should link to Elves, but none of the other combinations I tried worked.

2006-03-06 [Leara]: I watch places. But my immune system sucks, so I lack the will to be online often lately. Hopefully my body will like me again soon. >.>

2006-03-06 [xido]: Right on. Well, actually, the word is Aquaean Elf or Aquaean Elves or Aquaean or even on Merfolk.... The 'Isle Royale' is Vxa.... Okay, let's make sure [Blood Raven] knows to watch this page too. ;)

2006-03-06 [Kim_Lundin]: Strange, I came to an empty page when I tried 'Aquaean Elves'.

2006-03-06 [Kim_Lundin]: Should I edit this page so that 'Lost Characters' are removed?

2006-03-09 [xido]: No, leave all characters on this list, but when a player goes missing (hence their character is lost in action), then yes, you may post them on that page... I think all permanent members should have their usernames and pages left here.... I added some info to that page to make sure it had something... one of those things I kept puting off, and knew I had to do because the princess of the Aquaeans is not here all the time to do it herself.... [Sairafaen] is she... But no, keep them here.... Just add them there. ;)

2006-03-09 [Kim_Lundin]: Okay, thought it was best to ask before starting to mess things up.

2006-03-15 [Kim_Lundin]: I added Kaoni to my list of characters.

2006-03-19 [xido]: ;) Thanks for doing so much on here... looks like you had some moments of inspiration. ;) Thanks.

2006-03-19 [Kim_Lundin]: No problem, I have these "must-do-some-work-or-I-will-explode" attacks from time to time, and often they bring something good with them (the bad spots are removed with caustic soda).

2006-03-27 [Sairafaen]: I have posted another page for tiahaara civalya, so that I can have a character that is more at the level of the other players... Civalya De of Vxa and Atreyu the Fish

2006-03-27 [Kim_Lundin]: Atreyu the FISH? Now that character I just HAVE to read.

2006-03-27 [Sairafaen]: He's fun, I love him to pieces. He's the best familiar ever.

2006-03-28 [Kim_Lundin]: He seems cool (not only because he's a cold blooded fish) is there some other page describing these Ku-Kraelaya fishes?

2006-03-28 [Sairafaen]: Not yet, but I am working on it. I hope that I can have it done soon, but I will need to talk to [xido] about it. He has just as much info on them as I do and maybe more, he helped me create them.

2006-03-29 [Kim_Lundin]: Hehe, then I'm really looking forward to seeing it.

2006-04-06 [Sairafaen]: Ku-Kraelaya Fish just for you... These are [xido]'s words, I haven't had the chance to change anything, or add a picture yet...

2006-04-07 [Kim_Lundin]: Thanks ^_^ I'll read it now.

2006-04-26 [xido]: Yeah she made me, twisted my arm and everything... :P It's cool... just some racial info for a fish we made pre-game for her story way back when.... *remembers the days* x.o)

2006-06-13 [NamelessMerc]: Question! May I alter my character page? Just to make it look perdy :D

2006-06-14 [xido]: Absolutely! In fact, if you are not the owner of your character's wiki page, please ask the Mod who commented or created it to change the owner to you and remove any passwords on the page (which should not be the case). Feel free to maintain your wikis as you see fit. ;) Good Question, Merc.  x.o)

2006-06-20 [xido]: The Scifi Characters and members are being integrated fully. These characters (and their links) should be featured on a CHARACTER LIST page, which every member will receive for their character(s). I have made this correction at the bottom and worked my way up, then adding the WSFR members above them, and below my info post. Above that, all previous WFR members are still as yet unformatted according to that outline. This will come in time. Mods please feel free to do that if you have any spare time or inspiration.

2006-06-20 [Chen stormstout]: O.o

2006-08-15 [xido]: x.xp

2006-08-21 [Kim_Lundin]: @.@ *meep?* what with the faces?

2006-08-21 [xido]: I dunno....  O.o But Chen did it first!!!!
x.xp

2006-08-29 [Kim_Lundin]: Hmm... the HE should explain <_<

2006-11-28 [xido]: This page can now take comments from anyone on the web, including not-logged-in users of the wiki.

All Applicants currently waiting on the WFR Application Page should be accepted and moved here. I see no problems with their applications. The password is the same.

2007-01-14 [xido]: I added a member that was (for some reason) not featured on here, despite his long-time membership. Sorry, [Torr-maat], and best regards for understanding the mixup.

Also, to any willing and able moderators:

What about this format for member listings?:

2007-01-15 [Kim_Lundin]: Question about the Games etc. part: Should we just post what setting they're in (Sci-fi/Fantasy) or should we go all the way down to what specific wiki they're playing on (Sneaking about in the lich's dungeon@wiki)?

2007-01-22 [xido]: That section refers to the WFR Members' Games/Stories that they host, create, or moderate in the wikis, not simply the pages their characters are in. That would be FAR too long.... :(

2007-01-22 [Kim_Lundin]: Ah, okay, then I understand ^_^ I figured it would be too long (not to say time consuming) to first hunt down all the characters and then post it here... and to keep it up to date...

2007-01-23 [Sairafaen]: Hey [xido], will you add my new character for me? Ati the Fallen Angel
The character page is updated, for the most part, and is ready to go up. Loves!
~Saira

2007-01-29 [Sairafaen]: Sai's RPCs

Just for you, Will!
Muah...
~Saira

2007-02-05 [NamelessMerc]: To anyone interested: As my last rp project (namely Blood of Creation) has been put on hold due to educational demands, I am thinking of starting a free-form rp.

In the interests of originality, I will be creating my own world, however the beasts within shall be taken from the crature list in WFR.

Now, the reason I'm telling everyone this: I intend to make this a 6-person-only rp, including myself, so I'm going to need at least a couple of people who're willing to give it a shot. The wiki will, eventually, be called The Plains of Kerith.

It goes without saying, I hope, that all characters must conform to WFR standards.

~ [NamelessMerc].

2007-11-01 [Kim_Lundin]: I'll go through the character list and reformat it so that all entries fit the "Member / Games, Worlds & Stories / Character List" thingie. It way take some time, though.

2007-11-01 [Kim_Lundin]: Actually went faster than I expected... now it's just to cathegorize them into Fantasy/Sci-fi...

2007-11-03 [xido]: Actually, the hard part will be putting all of the Fantasy / SF chars together on player-pages (for a full list of accepted WFR characters by a given player). It would be less segmented if all the Guild members were allowed to play whatever genre of character they preferred. It will also make less writing on this page, and each player-page will list all chars, worlds (for GMs), etc. If you don't want to do that much work, simply post the stuff that is currently on this page on a player-page, and notify the member that they have a page that they may change and add to as they see fit). If you have any other ideas, I would love to see if they would work. This is how I saw it being best, but if you can think of something that will make it better, then I will be happy with that decision instead.

Thanks, Kim. You rock. ;)
-will

2007-11-03 [Kim_Lundin]: Having all characters of one member on one page sounds like a good idea, and once the pages've been done it shouldn't be much trouble with them. I'll see what I can do.

2007-11-03 [Kim_Lundin]: I've finished the members from the top and down to the double-lines. I'll take a break and finish the rest later.

2007-11-03 [xido]: Sounds like a deal. Good work so far.
Sorry to change things up, but I made a suggestion for a new format in one of the comment above (with the h2 size font). See if that would make it easier to organize.

Also, if a player suggests that they already have a character list page (or player-page), you may use that one instead of the generic title, Username's Characters, such as [Sairafaen]'s Sai's RPCs, or my own My Roleplays. Preferably we should make a page like this for any first-time applicant. Members who submit secondary characters may make and post their own wikipage if they have one already created. This would be done on the Application page, in the comments.

Any other ideas or thoughts?

2007-11-04 [Kim_Lundin]: That format is relatively easy to fix, it's just a matter of moving a few words on this very page, I should be able to do that in just a few minutes, so there's no need to worry that it'll make things harder. I'll focus on getting the character pages done first, though.
I think there was two or three members I saw yesterday who had character pages of their own ([Sairafaen] and some more). I made new pages for them, but I can put the old one's back in a flash.

2007-11-04 [Kim_Lundin]: All character pages finished! ^_^

2007-11-04 [Kim_Lundin]: Hmm... for simplicity's sake, can't we just put a "WFR Mod" next to those who have that title instead of listing all pages that person is moderating? If people really want to know what everyone do, they can check the WFR Guild Pages, Mods, & GMs page.

2007-11-06 [xido]: That sounds fine, Kim. Great work on the page.

Also, as long as the member is sent a message about their new page, so that they know to keep a watch on it, it should be okay, but for those members who take the initiative to make their own pages, we should be nice and let them keep them for the Guild purposes too. We may be able to get away with not posting the game/campaign information here, and instead post it to the new WFR Library Author Data...

New data to include with member applications (so, to be added to the Template...):
- Name or common username (nickname) - required
- Gender (optional, but good for distinguishing androgynous names)
- Age (required - we want to know who is a minor, and who is not - there may be an age rule sometime in the future, if we deal with enough mature content to warrant it...)
- contact info (email, web page, non-ET openly viewable user profile page, etc.) for non-Elftown members (at least one required)
- RPGA # (optional)
- WFR Guild # ???
- Locality, group, or network (ie, Baton Rouge, LA, USA - DandDWiki.com - Facebook.com - MySpace.com - College Gamers Group - Local WFR Chapter - etc.) - required for non-ET members
- Member Skill (Writing, Moderating, Organizing, Advertising, Artwork/Media, Storytelling, Live Action RP, Conventions, Publications and Representation, Games/Challenges, Character Development, Campaign Development, Epic Campaigns, Psionics, Sci-Fi, Full-Metal Fantasy, Archiving, Special Campaign Setting - Greyhawk, Kalamar, Jashnia, etc.) - preferred, but optional
- Writing Samples or Petition for non-character / non-Elftown admission ???

2007-11-06 [xido]: Also, you have two player pages with the same name under your own name place.... ;) Kim_Lundin's Characters

Is there supposed to be a 'WFR' in one of them, to separate your Guild-applied chars from your others, perhaps?

2007-11-06 [Kim_Lundin]: I'll compose some kind of message for the members, I'll also add that they can use their own character pages.
And the double page was an error of mine, better keep an eye up, I would hate to get a "HEY! You messed up my characters, you @$$#¤[£!" message from someone...

2007-11-06 [Kim_Lundin]: WFR Mod:ed people from the "WFR Guild Pages, Mods, & GMs" page

2007-11-08 [Kim_Lundin]: All members should have ownership of their character pages now.

2007-11-08 [Kim_Lundin]: Sent a note to all members to tell them about the new pages.

2007-11-08 [Kim_Lundin]: And that's enough work from me for today >:D I know, I'm a lazy bum.

2007-11-23 [Linn Scarlett]: Argh no I didn't die yet >.>' Its just that I've been really busy and pretty much all over the globe, and not always with a good connection. So yeah, I am still here XD

2007-11-23 [xido]: "I know, I'm a lazy bum."

Not a snowball's chance in hell. You rock the house, Kim.

That's fine, Linn. Please know that I would love it if all Mods joined Facebook.com (I will not encourage anyone to join MySpace, nor will I myself post info on that site).

Also, see WFR for my statement regarding the Guild's new updates. That will be our professional, WFR-only media, and official linking page for the Guild. Incoming members must comment on the WFR Application Page for entrance and ideas on what constitutes an entrance application in the new methods I would like to explore.

More later. Best wishes to all of you.
-will

2008-01-14 [xido]: All moderators need to be aware of the comments made by me on xidoraven studios. Please reply to me by email. If you don't know my email, please ask me for it by message.

Thanks,
-will

2008-01-17 [xido]: Kim, do you have MS Word, or a similar formatted typing program? If so, I may send my needs to you in .doc format from now on, so I know you can edit them the same way I do... Still thinking on that one.

Here's the deal: I'll format the first three in a table format, to show you how.

[username1012] : nickname : RPs/wikis : chars@wiki
Everyone needs a name that we can call them. If they are comfortable giving us their real name or pen name, fine. username is okay, no name at all is not okay. Begin this list by seeing what the person has posted on their house page.

This update will coincide with how I present it on the googlepages annual members list. It will be a public name for the person, so make sure that it's okay if that name/nickname is made public by messaging them. Older Guild Members may not message us back at all, so we may just have to live with a half-done list for 2007 if we can't come up with a name or nickname that they would like posted...

If they have two or more pages, put an enter/return between the names - it works well. [Sairafaen]'s Game can be shortened to simply "Vxa". Keep this section as small as possible without being picky about title.

Forums for Guild Ranks soon to come.
-will

2008-01-17 [NamelessMerc]: On that note, how would people tell you the name they want? Personal messages?

2008-01-17 [xido]: Guests - pretty self-explanatory. Benefits: ...

Apprentices - Members with Applications in. These members get their writings and character posts 'Critiqued'. They learn under a Journeyer or Master Artisan. As part of the WFR Guild, they will be required to join a Niche Guild (or Guild of Rank):
Guild Knights - (forum)
Guild Guards - ...
Guild Page Moderators - ...
Guild Artists - ...
Guild Organizer - ...
Guild Representative - ...
Guild Mystic (coder/programmer/multimedia) - ...
Other:
  - ...

Journeyers - ...

Master Artisans - ...

Mods (J and MA) would be required to put in volunteer time and efforts to connecting the media produced by the WFR in the FARP Elfwood project:
http://www.elfwood.com/discuss/75951783.html

Each Rank gets a forum. Each Guild gets a forum and a wikipage. Ranks will be posted to this page as they are earned and determined. Authors (Contributors to the WFR Library will get their own Game & Story wikis (most make their own currently). Open Gaming Areas will be Guild-sanctioned and sponsored Guild-led pages that only Members can host games and stories on, and most anyone can play within. All Open Gaming Pages will be passworded, with controlled page content, and the ability to accept comments from the web. Mods, Knights, and Guards will have the ability to delete spammer comments.

2008-01-17 [xido]: To [NamelessMerc]:

Since your house page says, "Scott" I will ask Kim and the Mods to post that name, and message you about it (for our members that are already current). In the future, the application will have a place for it, where we ask how the Member would like their name to be on their Membership page.

Thanks for asking.
-will

2008-01-19 [Kim_Lundin]: Yes, I have MS Word installed. It's an old version, but as long as you don't send anything too flashy it should be able to handle it ;)
The new format looks good, will make the list easier to read. I'm still trying to get used to the idea of nicknames though, there's something about it that feels a little weird to me. It's probably just me being lazy... could you give me a short explanation of the "why"s? Should make it a bit easier for me to grasp it.
I'll put "Reformate Guild Members" on my to-do list and get to it when I have the time.

2008-01-19 [xido]: Sounds good. I say we need nicknames or names, since some usernames are gargantuan, and make for a difficult time naming char pages. That, and I like referring to someone by their real name, or else a nickname they enjoy. It helps me to understand them better, I think.

2008-03-05 [xido]: I would like to know if there are any willing and involved people who would liked to be considered to be a Guild Guard or sworn in as a Guild Knight (Moderator/Organizer)...?
-will

2008-03-07 [NamelessMerc]: Oh, while I'm perusing, I also wanted to ask you if you wanted any help on this page as well, Will? Afterthe 10th, I've got some free time and I could format some of the members for you if you'd like.
-Scott.

PS. *Shameless wiki-promo* To all members: I need 4 players for The Plains of Kerith. Hopefully I'll have a party of 6-8 total. It's semi-free-form and presided over by me. Take a look if interested.

2008-03-07 [xido]: You are more than welcome to do so, if and when you so choose. I will also hope to compile a list of names/nicknames of everyone who entered prior to 2008 for our annual Members List for http://xidoraven.googlepages.com/wfrguild

Shameless wiki-promos are okay. ;) Also, you could post it on WFR Games until our new pages are situated. Kim has an outline of which pages should be re-named to help make them easier to access from the open web.

2008-03-07 [NamelessMerc]: Alright, well if you can message me the password for this page I'll have a stab at it next week.
