Lots of updates thanks to Amokk. Slight changes to: Circle of the Crone and Ordo Dracul. New pages and other edits include Adobaiza (Primogen), Daimyo (Priscus), Shogun, Kogaion and Hierophant. Names of Daimyo, Hierophant, Kogaion and Viscounts are now included in the information.

The main page got a bit of a tweak in regards to games, websites and how to's being updates. Wiki Rules added to it as well, please read the rules page and follow it. Some of the things listed there have gotten out of hand.
I also made an Appearance page. There has been a lot of confusion and argument about striking looks in general and sexualized is probably the single most incorrectly played merit in the game. Hopefully the appearance page clears some of these things up. Please note, you must read all four pages for it to make sense. Please do not skip over presence and just read the other sections. This will not end the confusion. The page is linked in that fashion to illustrate these things all relate to one another and you must understand all of them for it to work properly. Also be aware this is the last thing we are doing to end these arguments. If the arguments and misuse continue we will likely remove these merits from rp entirely. If you do not understand something on those pages or need more information in any way please do not discuss it with other players, come to #help and we will be glad to help you in that regard.
The only ISSH pages with editing to speak of is How do I list my classes?, which was reformatted to give a better example and Classmates which is a page listing who is in class with who, so you will know for rp reasons.
--Luca 5/04/08 3:37PM
As mass noted, in order to remove issues with how the Vinculum is dealt with here, we now have a page on it. Minor maintenance changes have been made to: Setting and Extended Website. A new section that will grow over time is Lexicon.
ISSH pages aded are: Classmates a page on who is in what class, ISSH Groups a category for the different types of groups at ISSH, including: Art, Athlete, Drama, Music, Geeks, Religious, Social, Outcast and Other.
--Luca 5/02/08 12:36AM
I keep thinking I am completely done with the ISSH stuff on the wiki and then I find some new page that needs to be added. So, I am going to stop saying it is almost done and think of this as an ongoing project. After all, this is why we had a couple of play testers to see how this was going to work out.
Anyway, on to the new stuff. We now have a page on misbehavior, vistors, and holidays. As soon as we can finish up our school work, we will start approving characters, this will likely be in the next few days so go ahead and submit your characters if you haven't already.
--Luca 4/27/08 8:09AM
The ISSH channels are complete. The Grounds Layout Map have had some slight changes. There are also three new channel additions. They are Bookstore, Sacre Coeur and the Sports Complex. There are also two other new pages, Misbehavior for when you are bad students, and Visitors to let you know how visiting students and such works.
--Luca 4/17/08 10:46PM
The school is obviously on its way as you can see a tremendous amount of work has been done for it so far, I had to cue the last 500 changes under recent changes just to write this post. We've got website work and server work left to go at this point. The wiki is almost finished for what is going up. If you aren't aware, there is already creation stuff on the forum in the preview stage. That will be moved over to a creation page on the website soon.
Since this is a lot, I am going to go in a logical link order rather than when it was finished for my own sanity. First, we have ISSH a main page for the school itself. It contains the history of the school, both secular and non secular as well as the history of the Sacred Heart schools.
Off of it, we have Characters. The characters page has links to NPNPC faculty, staff and clergy as well as PC and NPC students, faculty and clergy. The student's page is a category, the staff, faculty and clergy pages are extremely brief overviews of who these people are with a thumbnail image that can be clicked for a larger view in most cases. The faculty/staff/clergy pages are only for NPNPCs, a category page called ISSH Faculty exists for PCs and NPCs.
The next section on the main page is the classes section. It has a class schedule image as well as explanations of the various tracks and where each class will be held as far as classroom.
The next section is activities. It is still under construction until we get an idea of what people really want there, but for now it has lists of possible after school or extracurricular activities.
The next section is the biggest, channels is the meat of the info of the school on the wiki as you need to know where you are playing looks like and how it works. The setting for the school is broken down in image format. You can click the link below the image for more information on each thing. Please note, if you're not already aware, clicking on the image will only get you a bigger image, you need to click the link below it. There is also an explanation of how the #ISSH channel will work on the bottom of that page.
The next section is other details. It is simply a section for other miscellaneous things that don't have any other place.
The last section is myths and legends. This section is still very much under construction as it is not just for the school, but the entire game. It will be finished when I have time. It is linked here because it obviously most relates to mortals.
If you are having problems with the logical order of links or you just want to make sure you caught everything you can check out the ISSH Site map. It is a new feature I am working on that lets you see everything that relates to a given place. ISSH is the first subject I am trying it out on. Everything that relates to ISSH has the category listing ISSH at the bottom, with the exception of characters as they have their own listings.
--Luca 4/3/08 11:35AM
There has been a sincere amount of work done on the new school. Please note if you look at it now (or have already been looking at it) when it is finished you will need to very, very, very carefully go over it again, as you are very, very likely to miss a great deal of information because of the way the system is structured. If you would prefer to wait, I will link all of the changes here when I am finished. I hope to be done with most of the wiki work in the next few days. Again, thank you to all of you who spent time helping me search for images. It really helped cut my work load down and I appreciate it.
A titles page was added, it encompasses the differences in titles of the Kindred court in Japan as compared to the western world.
A court page was added to list the current members of the Tokyo Kindred Court. This was done as the page that used to be on the forum stating such was removed. The titles were also corrected to the "new" titles.
A couple of very small pages were added, such as: NPNPC and Matsouri.
--Luca 3/25/08 6:35AM
Please note that the wiki has been updated to direct to the appropriate page in a more streamlined fashion that it used to. If you have any bookmarks to specific pages on the wiki, they will no longer work. You will need to make new bookmarks accordingly.
I updated the honorific titles page to include more information.
The other updates on the wiki generally revolve around the channel pages being made to link to the website. If you haven't noticed the requiem site no longer is at original-sin.net . I have that site, along with all the old websites (including diablerie) archived if you ever need something off of one of them. Just let me know and I will get it to you when I have time.
The new channels on the server are #Almond, a previous #Praxis channel and #Kabukichō which will serve mainly as #Ginza does now, but with a very different environment.
A few channels also got facelifts for the new website: #Tur, #Green Peas, #Sakoya, #East Garden, and #Ginza. Take a look and see what you think. I am not entirely happy with how some of them turned out, so they will probably get another change eventually. The main thing this means is with the exception of some minor issues that need to be fixed on the forum, and the face lift of three more channel pages (demesne, club red and vanilla) the website is done. It's been an excessive amount of work and a long time, but we're finally there. If you have suggestions for changes on anything regarding the website, let me know and/or post them on the forum here.
--Luca 3/1/08 8:06PM
Lots and lots of work on the wiki lately. First we have some new area locations: Kabukichō, Shinjuku and Azabu. Both Kabukicho and Shinjuku have videos added with the new video feature Amokk added. We also have some other pages: Fūzoku, Yakuza, Sacred_Heart and Love hotels.
We are moving around the channel list and channel pages on the wiki as I work on the website's channel listing. Kamakura was developing a lot of confusion as to where it was specifically. Kamakura is a very large part of Tokyo, including several different beaches. Our channel was meant to represent only one of those beaches, so we changed the channel name to be more specific. It is now called Koshigoe, as it is literally located on Koshigoe beach. We moved the New York Bar to a Suspire channel as it wasn't getting any use. SuperPandaBlue is getting a trial run as its own channel. Mizu Shobai has been added, it was introduced in a mini story line earlier this week.
The following channels have also gotten facelifts, including new images and/or image galleries: Kokoen, Tokyo Park, Koshigoe and Izakaya. Suspire also had some minor changes made to it.
--Luca 2/14/08 5:15AM
Lots of face lifts going on. As I slowly make the new channel pages for the new website, I am cleaning up the wiki pages that they will link to. If you want to see the new channel pages, keep an eye on the new website. I will probably make a post when I am finished with them all.
Suspire got a nice facelift, it should be a little clearer and easier to use now. Suspire/Addict was moved to a Suspire channel, and got a face lift as well. Suspire/Cream finally got moved over to a wiki page with a gallery to make it easier to use. It has been a Suspire channel for a while, but didn't really have much of a page. It includes a little bit of new information. A new channel Super Panda Blue was created. It is a game/video game/comic shop inside of a mall with a vending cafe in the back. Lastly, Akihabara got it's own mini page.
--Luca 2/03/08 2:10PM
Two new channels have been added. Tryst and Starbucks. Starbucks was added because it was getting a lot of use IC and it is familiar to almost all nationalities. Tryst is a restaurant/club with an indoor pool. Also, Addict has been moved from a permanent channel to a Suspire channel. Two other channels are coming soon. Izakaya is an underworldly type bar known for a Yakuza presence, and Arie is an Indian style night club with all the flair and intensity of the country it is modeled after.
--Luca 1/17/08 2:10PM
A new channel has been added to the Suspire page. It is called Zoo. Take a look. :)
--Luca 11/25/07 11:43PM
Happy Halloween Spooksters. I hope everyone has fun tonight!
Some more Storylines have been added to the Storylines page, and some minor edits by players and myself. Two new channels have been added to Suspire, including Musashino Park a real Japanese park with all those things we're used to in western parks including a skate park by the name of Jabu Jabu Banks. I also rearranged the Suspire page to make it a bit more visually appealing. Remember to let me know anymore channels you want to see and I will do my best to get something up for you.
--Luca 10/31/07 04:43AM
Some more Storylines have been added to the Storylines page. Azaelnocturne added some bloodline images you can use on your character pages from the wolfspoor website. Tmajibon added them to the Character Logos page. Azaelnocturne also fleshed out some of the clan pages for us. Aloveras fleshed out two City of Origin page cities for us. Feel free to do that with your own, but please copy and paste/paraphrase the information from a reputable place if you do it, and please follow the format of the ones who have been done before. Please do not flesh out the Tokyo page, there is already a better page for that.
--Luca 10/23/07 07:40PM
We now have another Roppongi page, this one centering on a quicker explanation and offering links of some channels/locations inside of Roppongi. I fleshed out another place on Koshigoe beach, Otodama, a beach bar that has been used in rp lately. I added some pictures to the Kamakura page, and started a Ginza page. There is not much on the Ginza page yet, but it will grow over time.
--Luca 10/18/07 01:55AM
Some new Story lines were added to the Storylines page. Including Fever, and Girl found slaughtered behind Club Red. Each of these Story lines have a brief graphic organizer to review facts about them. Please remember that the Storylines page is a player addition to the game. I will edit or add text after someone has written it, but I won't write it for you. So, if you want to see text there, get typing.
Thank you for the quick response to cities or origin. There are still a few people left who need to finish up their characters, so make sure your own are done. If you would like to add information to a city page, go ahead, but please use information that can be backed up and not opinions. Use the city page from wikipedia if need be, but please do not copy directly from wikipedia.
Has anyone had a chance to use the Gallery template? If so, let me know how it worked out for you. I will make changes as necessary to get it to be as flexible as possible.
--Luca 10/17/07 06:52AM
I went through the sheets and added your character names to the appropriate spot on the Cities of Origin page. If you are not there, your character either came from a very small town, or you do not have a place of origin on your sheet.
I added a House Rules page. It is relatively empty so far, but will grow over time.
We now have a Templates page, which will get more use as we need more types of templates. I made a table that can be used for galleries on your haven pages, or whatever is needed. You can see it here. Tmajibon template-ized it for us, so you can use it much more easily. You can find the template here. There is an example of the gallery in use on the Sandbox page, at the very bottom.
--Luca 10/16/07 04:02AM
Two new channels/areas to use, a #Suspire channel: Almond, and The International cafe, the popular cafe on Koshigoe beach, aka: #Kamakura.
--Luca 10/11/07 07:25AM
Tmajibon did a lot of work on getting some of our templates fleshed out. So, instead of copy/pasting, you can now use one of the various Character_Templates.
--Luca 10/09/07 06:30AM
I had to do some serious database hacking to fix Aloveras's account. When she logged in all she got was a blank white page. She created a new account to use in the meantime. So if all you get is a blank white page when you log in, let me know immediately, since I now know how to fix it.
--amokk 01:58, 21 September 2007 (CDT)
I added a page on Education in Japan to help answer some questions. I tried to make it make sense to more than one culture, but if it doesn't let me know and I will reword it as best possible. We will probably add to it as needed in the game.
Because we now have more than one character involved in the Tokyo Ballet, I went ahead and added the info I had for the school to a wiki page. You can see it here. Tokyo School of Ballet.
I added the category Locations so we can now add various places around town that do not have their own channels. Please do not use this for your haven, use the Haven category instead.
If you have anymore suggestions on any other non-channel places that you would like to see a wiki page for, let me know.
--Luca 09/15/07 10:11PM
If you want/need your login name changed, you lose your password, or whatever, please see amokk instead of creating a new login. That just creates unnecessary clutter when it can be fixed easily. Multiple usernames cannot be merged together!
--amokk 01:09, 14 September 2007 (CDT)
I made some small changes to the Domains page, adding some new pictures Brandon found for us.
--Luca 08/07/07 11:45AM
Gravenor and Crassus pages are both done now. If you would like to see a specific ghoul family added to the wiki, let me know which one and what book it is in.
Don't forget, if you ever want to talk about the things listed here, whether to make suggestions, give kudos, or make complaints, you can go to the top of this page and click the Discussion tab. Just make sure to sign your comment so we know who said it. I left an example for you on the page.
I also added some more links on the Character category to make it easier to search characters. They have always been there, but now they are linked to that page for ease of use. I also added a new category: PC. The NPC category has been there for a while, but this allows you to look at just the player characters singled out now. Don't worry about adding that tag to your character page. I already added it to them for you.
--Luca 07/21/07 03:55 AM
I just finished a more detailed view of some of the ghoul families. Those included so far are the Alley Men, Angustri and Children of Nirriti. Crassus, Gravenor and some others are still under construction, but coming soon. Thank you very much for helping me with gathering the text for the pages Brandon. : )
With the help of Amokk, I also finished a brand spanking new ghoul family for you to choose from. It is similar to Children of Nirriti, but with a whole lot of Japanese flair. Have a look, it is called Kodomo Inari.
--Luca 07/17/07 07:46 AM
Wiki upgraded to the most recent version.
--amokk 05:25, 16 July 2007 (CDT)
We now have the definitive guide to Honorific Titles, IE san, chan, etc. for the server. I took out the extra info and narrowed it down to only what we would need in the game and arranged it by use.
--Luca 06/07/07 01:09 PM
Thanks to mook we now have pages telling us about the covenants in the city, and how they feel about the other covenants and such. Check them out: Circle of the Crone, Invictus, Ordo Dracul, Lancea Sanctum, and Carthians.
I just finished a page on Shinto complete with lots of pictures and explanations, for those of you playing Japanese characters and/or Circle of the Crone members. Shinto is the state religion for the Circle and the main religion of Japan.
--Luca 05/15/07 03:52 AM
I've been working on images for the different Ghoul families. The text on their pages is coming soon, but you can see the images and some info here: Ghoul_Families. There is also a category page: Category: Ghoul_Families. I also made smaller images so you can use them on your character wikis, they are here: Ghoul_avatars.
I finally finished the work I was doing for two original ghouls families: The Matheiu and the Galilea. These are open to the players provided they follow the rules on those pages.
--Luca 05/1/07 12:35 AM
We now have all the books we currently use in the game listed on the wiki, including a description of each, the cover image and a link to the white-wolf catalog page for each book. You can see it here.
Over the last couple of weeks I have also fleshed out the Tokyo page, the Japan page, some various other city locations, and started adding in info from Second Sight. I'll probably keep working on the rest of this over the next few weeks. Always remember you can view recent changes by clicking the recent changes link on the left menu bar.
--Luca 04/24/07 8:35 PM
I've decided to try and remember to keep track of the changes we make, as we make them, so everyone is aware of what is going on in the wiki. If I can remember I will list all major changes and additions.
As you can see over the past couple of months we have been adding in basic information to use as online reference for players, such as info on shifting, tribes, auspices, clans, covenants etc. We are now starting to encompass extended website information for current players. Be sure to check that out here.
--Luca 04/19/07 2:43 PM
As you can see, the wiki is now being used for character pages, as ways to track characters with status, how many people are in what covenant or clan, how many wtf vs. vtr players we have, character trees to see who is connected to what place/character/ group, some location descriptions, and even city pages.
Feel free to add your Original Sin character as you like. It is alright to add old (shelved/retired, or vtm/wta) characters if you like, but do not link them to the character category, that is only for active characters.
If you would like to make a haven page or any other page that relates to the game you can, but make sure that it does not already exist and that it relates in a realistic way. I don't want to see joke pages, if you want to post that sort of stuff use [waste of space] on the forum.
If you have any questions about what can be added to the wiki feel free to stop by #help and ask us, or use [this forum thread]
