I have decided I'm going to be temporarily inactive (taking a break). Don't worry, I'll be back during the holidays :)
What's on your mind?

Henry David Thoreau once said, "The best government is that which governs least." This cannot be any more true especially when in the face of the appalling possibility of internet-wide censorship. As horrifying as that sounds, the EU apparently wants such a scenario to come true.
Currently, the EU wants to apply Article 13, a law that would force FANDOM and other platforms to constantly micro-manage every edit and every upload, meaning that we have to censor things even if they aren't actually wrong.
If this law is applied, it could mean the end of Internet freedom as we know it. The liberty associated with user-generated content as a whole will cease to exist. The law may be rejected for now, but the fight isn't over. We must help prevent this from being applied AT ALL if we are to survive.
So what's it gonna be: Meekly allow the total annihilation of freedom in passive acceptance, or stand up and shout: "I will not be their victim! I will survive!" The choice is yours.
This link will tell you more about it: https://community.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:TOR/Join_us_in_protecting_the_freedom_of_user-generated_content

So must that are here will already know about why this is happening and why we have a new wiki but when the game's wiki link gets re-directed to here and the masses start coming, this post will instruct them about it.
This forum thread I just linked to was the original post that started off this project. The old wiki had really low quality information, and after editting (Oh, did I mention all the people helping got blocked? Failing, I, Pricey, Gale, etc.) because simsim40 opposes changes and is an 1100 player. Go figure. Even if we editted the old wiki, the admins were really bad players (more than two are 1100...), are immature, and were mostly inactives that didn't have any forum presence, heck, the lack of moderation in the wiki shows the lack of wiki presence too.
This new wiki was made to provide better information and to give better quality moderation and forums/chat, along with overall a more professional look. Tecness will be getting the game wiki link re-directed to here.
Along with this, our clan graphic designer will be whipping us something up soon. It should be up later on and he makes up some sick graphics.
Some general guidelines for prospective admins are here:
Solid ELO Rating and Game History - not being elitist, but I'm looking for some game history and a mid-high rating to show you understand the game mechanics well and that you can help newer players out.
Maturity - Self-explanatory.
Forum Activity - we're not just helping the wiki, we're trying to help the community, which means you're trying to fix up the forums as well. Kinda goes under high elo rating to fix strategy forums too.
English - decent english, not necessarily perfect, but good enuf so u dunt speek liek dis or like ^.^ dis ^.^ herro ^.^ how are u ^.^. You get what I mean.
Community Approval - If you're willing to help and have helped, along with a cool personality, people will support you. It's like, if 80% of the community hates you and are dissing you, something's wrong.
Quality Edits - looking for some edits, not necesarrily a four digit number, but some good edits and some edits that show you've helped. One whole page of quality information is worth one edit, as well as one word fix. This is why the size of the number isn't what I'm looking for, just a number that has some substance to it.
