Do all the monsters live in Fortress Four oh Four year round or are they seasonal hires?
Forohfor is a sort of non-Euclidean space, so while the monsters are probably there year-round, there's no guarantee that they are in the same... folds? As Doubutt spends his time most of the year. I'm sure they run into each other sometimes, though.

Oh... I have a question. Four asked about 'duplicating' a character set-up on the forums. Curious how exactly that would work. I know we can 'copy' widgets to another character...

And now I'm thinking of the Doubutt game as just a silly game of tag among them all.

It's entirely possible that's how at least some of the residents see it.

Like, there's never any risk. They're just playing.

No way! That's serious business up there... and dangerous! That's how we get weapons to the front line!

The idea right now is more or less to dupe a whole character profile into draft mode. So it would be a starting point for a new profile, rather than something that would over-write what you already have on the character. I suppose we might look into making it also work if the character has no widgets/pages yet.

Oh cool!

kind of like the style code saving of a group to use on another group?

Soooort of? Except this would be for all the widgets and columns and content.

So much more elaborate. I really like the idea!

I think a lot of people set up all of their character profile more or less the same way, and don't want to redo it all by hand every time.

How hard would it be to add redirect "pages" to the Lore Wiki to help with things like a given bit of info making sense to place under multiple different areas, so we don't end up having duplicate pages and things can be found where expected? Or multiple different pages about the same thing in different contexts (which it might not be clear that there are, indeed, multiple different pages)? For example, is tied to pets, is a recurring character, does repairs during Epic Week, and was a key EW character one year, and some of those make sense to put under different areas.

What do you mean by redirect pages?

It creates a database entry that allows something to be recognized as a "page" for UX purposes - allowing different names, categorization, etc - but only one of them will be the official page; all the others are basically blank and automatically send the viewer to the sole official page, where all the info for all the contexts is.

Has there been any thought about more silk cloak collars?

Oh, I see what you mean. Just chunking the info from the official page over to the one that's under the new book?

Do people really want these? Because I can happily get you some new cloaks this year. Paisley here we come

Oraage and yellow!
