Rules

Rules lifted wholesale from the Twisted Confessional site.

More detailed info on adding a page lives here,and this is a guide to formatting a wiki page.

Here's an example of a game that's pretty damn awesome.


 * The setting is wide-open to start with: all we know is that something caused an apocalypse, and at least a few scholars are around (presumably survivors, but who knows?) and are bickering about what caused it. Beyond that, read the wiki, if it's not in there, make it up. Once something is in an article, it's treated as fact (although one that's been interpreted by the author).
 * Before we start, create an Author Bio page for your character. (Go to 'contribute' -> 'add a page'. Make your page with the name of your character, then edit the Author Bio index to include a link.) If you want to reference other pages in the bio, that's fine.
 * Each turn, write an article: if there are unfilled phantom pages for that turn's letter, those must be completed, otherwise create any entry you want that begins with that turn's letter. Include 2 references (no more, no less) to new pages that don't exist yet. These pages are called phantoms. Every turn after the first, you must also cite at least one existing page (you can site more existing pages if you want). You can cite phantom pages already created by other people, these don't count towards either requirement.
 * Note that each letter can only have as many entries as there are players. So if H is full, your phantoms cannot begin with H. I'll try to mark each letter's page as full when it happens.
 * On your last turn (ie, Z), you need cite 0 phantom entries, and on the second to last turn (Y), you need only cite one.
 *  It is an academic sin to cite yourself, so your scholar may never cite another entry they have written, and may never write a phantom entry they created .  Scholars are also encouraged to refrain from citing phantoms they have previously cited. This is not, however, a strict rule.
 * Despite the fact that your peers are self-important, narrow-minded fools, they are honest scholars. No matter how strained their interpretations are, their FACTS are as accurate as historical research can make them. So if you cite an entry, you have to treat its factual content as true! (Although you can argue against the interpretation and may introduce new facts to shade the interpretation).
 *  A player can call dibs on any one phantom entry in either the current index, or the next in line. Whoever calls dibs first, has it. One cannot call 'dibs' on an empty space, and cannot call dibs more than one index in advance. To call dibs, just edit the page to say 'dibs called by X', so no-one else starts working on an entry for it.
