This is actually a really cool Idea, Though anyone that isn't even in PO could mess up that link..... However There seem to be a lot of people working on it so I'll let them work on it, I would join but I'm busy and stuff. However one thing that would be a good idea is Mafia 101 for mafia basics and things not to do in mafia as this role and that one.
I find that the problem with things not to do is that trolls will do them, and say that they "misunderstood" the guide. Also, this guide basically is Mafia 101, and more.

Server Name: Lickitung Timezone: GMT 0 Areas of the project you would like to help with: How To Join Mafia Channel Commands How to be a tutor Experience With Mafia: I have been playing ingame for around 3 years, since the start (I had a year long break, but the majority of the time I was a noob), I am starting to learn how to code (not very good with the special stuff) and I am a tutor. On a scale to 1-10, how good would you say your grammar is?: Whenever I am on the server, PMing, chatting and whatnot, I am usually using around ~7/10, but if I try, for example whenever writing articles, I can get around 9.5 easily. (I really hate the way things look without commas, capital letters and correct spelling, or when people use the incorrect plural: e.g. "2 oxes are standing in a barn..." rather than "Two oxen are standing in a barn...", so I think I'd fit. I'd really like to help :) EDIT: Where are we contributing our work etc?
Ok, here's a submission: Spoiler How to Join The Channel There are 2 ways to join the Mafia channel. I will refer to them as "Command" and "Manual". Command joining is a very easy process. How to Command join: 1. Log onto Pokemon Online server. 2. In the chat box, type "/cjoin Mafia", with no quotation marks. This will bring you to the mafia channel. Manual Joining is a longer process, and was the original way of joining channels. There are 2 slightly different ways to do this. How to Manual Join (First Version): 1. Log onto Pokemon Online server. 2. Look to your player list. (It is usually on the left, unless you have changed it.) 3. Above your players list, there should be 3 tabs. The first one, the highlighted one, is "Players", the second is "Battles" and the third is "Channels". 4. Click on the "Channels Tab". 5. There should now be a search box below where your player list was. Click it and type "Mafia" with not quotation marks. 6. Hit enter. 7. Look at the Banner (The Yellow Box at the top of the window, with a Dratini and a Larvitar on it). Below it there should now be 2 tabs: "Tohjo Falls", and "Mafia. Click on the Mafia tab to go there. How to Manual Join (Version 2): 1. Log onto Pokemon Online server. 2. Look to your player list. (It is usually on the left, unless you have changed it.) 3. Above your players list, there should be 3 tabs. The first one, the highlighted one, is "Players", the second is "Battles" and the third is "Channels". 4. Click on the "Channels Tab". 5. The channels are listed alphabetically where the players' names used to be. Scroll down to channels beginning with "M". 6. Whenever you find the "Mafia Channel", double click it. 7. Look at the Banner (The Yellow Box at the top of the window, with a Dratini and a Larvitar on it). Below it there should now be 2 tabs: "Tohjo Falls", and "Mafia". Click on the Mafia tab to go there. And that's how you join the mafia channel. Some other Channels which may be of interest to Mafia Players: Mafia Social - This is a place to talk about mafia things such as games, themes and just have a laugh with your mafia friends. Mafia Tutoring - Unsure how to play? Well join this channel and someone here can teach you how! Mafia Review - In this channel, you review the game you just played. The channel is often empty, but can be fun! RTM - This is "Real Time Mafia", which is mafia except it is run by a human! Jalmont Mafia - This channel is forum mafia, which is like RTM, but played on the forums. Here's a link to the forums. (You must have an account.) The Games will be played in the section entitled "General Chat", in the Subforum of "Forum Games". To join these channels, all you must do is replace their names where I have put "Mafia" in the guide. For example: "/cjoin Mafia Tutoring" would take you to the Mafia Tutoring channel! Happy playing! ~Written By Lickitung[/HIDE]
You could add in Jalmont Mafia to channels which could be joined, it's the centre of forum mafia activity on the server.

Server Name: JhenMohran Timezone: GMT Areas of the project you would like to help with: - Sentence guides for every theme, more about strategy than the overall view in theme summaries - Additions to the glossary in terms of other themes and less common abbreviations - Non Peak themes can come under the above two, though can do more in depth analysis...

Damn I forgot about this completely. I'll get to my sections when I can. Also the piratepad is a dead link, could this be fixed? Piratepads are awesome and really help, especially for something like this. EDIT - where is this guide being hosted anyway?
(20:48) Roy Mustang: Feg (20:48) Roy Mustang: I'd be interested in (20:48) Roy Mustang: organizing the creation (20:48) Roy Mustang: of the megaguide (20:48) Roy Mustang: if you don't mind my doing so (20:49) Fegelein: take over it then (20:49) Fegelein: i cba with it anymore (20:49) Fegelein: good luck Taking this over, will get on this ASAP. You can all expect a forum PM with instructions. Hobbes2 (my assman) and I will work on doing all that we can to lead by example. If you have anything done already, post it in this thread.
The best thing for hosting is to put in on the wiki then possibly link to each page in an organized sticky. At least, in my opinion.
ROY! Yeah I was working on my big glossary thing, more in depth than the one we have, but its not finished yet really, thats my update.
Someone please edit OP or make a new post of who reserved what or what's finished. And I have lots of time now so gimme somethin to do. 2 weeks from now I will be swamped with tutoring and whatnot

I'm going to go ahead and say "11" for this one.
PMs are in the process of being sent out (I'll try to get most, if not all, done today). On top of what we have, I want to do an advanced playing guide. I will cover things that would be discussed in Senior Tutoring. I will work on this with Hobbes2, since he is also a senior tutor and is helping me organize this project. All of you will allowed to input on it once finished. My contributions so far: Explanation of rules and first installment of the "advanced guide", meatshielding Don't bother with the quicktopic link, just post contributions here once you have a draft/completed the assignment. Edit: PMs sent, OP up to date. Please read the OP as well as your PMs.
