Infodump:Why do I infodump
From The Wild Tangents
So here's my offering[edit | edit source]
You'll be gifted a wall of text :)
In exchange, I'll sit and wait for a thoroughly formulated response :):)
...
Best to get it out in the open, let it speak for itself, and then by all means follow up if you have questions. Sounds reasonable right?
...right?
How I'll set it up:[edit | edit source]
Where needed I'll include a link to it's related Infodump page. That way you can strap yourselves in to take a deep dive into my ramblings.
Infodumps will also probably contain useful information or examples, maybe will contain common pitfalls and other things to consider. It might be an additional context of the history that led to things being the way they are, in hopes it makes things make more sense.
What you see is what you get[edit | edit source]
I have no real intention to edit the infodumps. I have started applying some section headers to make them more readable.
For the most part though, the examples I'll play out or the historical context will take a lot of extra explanation.
Sometimes its easier for me to just get all the brainvomit out, then pull out the parts I need for simpler explanations. I am trying to capture the big ideas AND the nuances at the same time without scaring people away. But in the interest of time management, I shouldn't stress too much about editing down the Infodumps.
