First of all, this timeline should have a name. I suggest Trent. (First name that popped into my head.) Second, as someone who just started reading this document with absolutely no context whatsoever, I'm honestly kinda lost. I feel like I'm reading scattered fragments of random stuff that, while related, don't quite fit together into a cohesive whole. I didn't even know what we were supposed to be doing until I checked a random tumblr link that looked reasonably enlightening (which it was, I think). That's absolutely what it was lol. More of a, I said I had a doc, it was suggested I post it, so I did. It was more my notes than anything, something I added to in my race to keep active amid 12 hour work shifts over the past few days! I'll work on making it more understandable in a bit! This was the first time I've done anything like this and posting it publicly; as such it's a work in progress w/the layout and all! Thanks for the tips! (Stupid phone is making this quote weird, sorry)

Thanks, you're amazing Much appreciated! Question: By "the original few" do you mean the people who played Anwhistle Aquatics? And do you know if there's a recap for that as well?

The original few were people who played Anwhistle Aquatis and filled the post-ARG survey (or interacted heavily with the creators) and there is a google doc in the links and things for the original trailhead quotes, as for a timeline for Anwhistle there was one floating around but I don't have the link on me sadly.

Gotcha Couple other questions: Wasn't it confirmed that Cate was the ghost, not Margaret? Those purple-red additions, are those by a different person? Could you include how we can get in touch with that Mystery guy?

This recap doesn't look like it's been edited since September. Is there any more up-to-date recap that covers information that we have here that Riley doesn't? (Her blog has lots of useful stuff but some important things happen outside her view.) Or a place where people can ask questions about details that happened somewhere that we don't remember/can't find?
Right now I'm puzzling over "Ben has an email address where did we find an email address how did that happen?"
But there are/will be other questions.

The Eden Park Echo was supposed to be that kind of resource, but lately I've been thinking we need more contributors.

I have looked at the Echo. There's stuff there, but it's not as comprehensive an answer source as I'd like.
Personally I also think that having it be a Tumblr thing will hamper its usefulness, as Tumblr archiving is clunky at best in my experience. But if, say, a permalink at the top of the page led to a recap post that is constantly updated, that would help.

I think it works well for Riley, I had hoped the Echo would imitate the way Riley segments her recaps. I was kind of hoping that there would be a masterpost recap from the player's perspective, similar to this, but unfortunately the original poster has gone. I'd be more than happy to help compile such a list, but running the game makes this almost impossible during chapters (and to a degree between them as we're working on cases back to back) I'm open to suggestions, especially since this community REALLY likes scattering their info (why don't you guys just update singles posts in the H. Text logs for example? WHY DO YOU HATE NEW PLAYERS, WHAT CAN I DO, etc etc etc) If anyone wants to help Eli with her efforts to better compile things, or if anyone has suggestions PLEASE let me know.

Okay so, this will be VERY jbled as i just woke up. I am currently working on getting alll the text messages put onto the echo. I'd prefer that sticks entirely with me to prevent double-posting and mixups. I know amberalice mentioned writing a character summary for H. That would be nice. There need to be a form of timeline, yes. I'm honestly trying to figure out how best to do that, im not sure, with how often things occur, that having the main post be on tumblr (where an outdated post can be reblogged more/etc.) I've also been mulling over a sort of community highlight thing, as well as a "these are todays major choices" thing, but idk how feasible those are. Im hopefully FINALLY getting internet today, so I'll be around more than not, and able to get stuff done.

I should mention that I don't think it's practical to make an echo blog post that recaps these things as it'll be outdated constantly, it's better to make a recap you can edit outside of tumblr's blog system - whether it be creating a separate page like Riley's site or a google doc that's open to view and posting a link to it everywhere.

The TWWF recap on TVTropes was incredibly useful. I'd be willing to help put together something like that. The trouble is that I really don't have time to track everything down.

That is about what i was getting at, but these solutions are acceptable.
Once i get internet later today, I'll get the texts updated and work on reprioritizing the echo's posts.

I'll just throw it out there that its been hard to motivate myself to update the text logs, this is partially because I'm busy and partially because a lot of chat is now in the chatroom and not here on the boards so its hard to know what is going on what is being discussed. We really need a centralized place to discuss updates that is not just the chatroom, its unreasonable to think everyone is going to go through the logs when there is a lot of off topic convos (I admit to being part of it but I also don't expect people in the chatroom to stay on topic all the time, especially in down times). I just think the dependence on the chatroom is what is REALLY hurting us here, especially new players (like my boyfriend who wants to join actually but is unsure of where to start to catch up even with links to Riley's blog and the Echo, he's still confused).
