As part of my evil scheme to get more admin Asylumites...Follow

So does writing on the forum count? I'm pretty sure that several of us could just wing the whole "game knowledge" bit anyway, right? I could write pages and pages of articles on the virtues of using the latest in laser technology when fighting off swarms of zombie-pirates if you want! Which game is it about? Well... wouldn't you like to know!

I suppose if the pay is in the 80-100k range, with stock options, paid vacation leave, a groovy window office, and free pet wombats, I might be interested! Oh yes. All of this (and more) could be yours... If the price is right.

Too hard sell? It's hard to tell sometimes. ;)



If you ever need a political opinion writer, I'm your guy though. We should totally have like competing editorials on politics. Open up a whole new venture area for zam.com. We'd be totally bigger and better than all those other wannabe sites out there. Or something.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the Wiki. I personally haven't used it much and I noticed quite a bit of stuff is outdated. But it's not hurting the site or anything so I don't understand why it's so bad for ZAM. It allows the users to put their expertise together to help people out with information.

Correlation/causation, blah blah blah. The data is out of date because interest in many of the games have waned over time. I doubt it had anything at all to do with the format people use to input the data itself. If I decide to do a write up for how to manage some quest or mission or whatever in a game, the difference between writing it in a post style system, or a wiki style system isn't going to affect what I write much. If anything, the wiki system makes it a bit easier to make more complete entries and to connect them with other entries of the same type. One of the most annoying aspects of the old system was that you really had to hunt around to find relevant information. The answer to the key question you had about a quest might lie in an entry in the quest, or in one or more of the related creature entries, or the item/reward entry, or in some other random places. The wiki format in theory makes it a bit easier to find all the information relevant to what you are looking for without having to hunt around as much.


Of course, I haven't played a game supported by zam regularly in years, so take this for what it's worth. The potential use of a wiki format is better. How much better does really rely on those who use it. But then, this site has always been related to the quality of the users who submit information. I suspect that players don't do this as much, not because of the format, but because the older games are older, and the newer games tend to have a lot more in-game tools to make such things easier, so you don't have to go to an outside game site to figure things out.

Just an FYI, we have one of the best editors in the world. If something gets posted on the news and there's an error, Looker obviously didn't "look" it over...

We lubs us some Looker over here!
