VCI (http://dynamic4.gamespy.com/~freespace/fsdoc/index.php?pagename=Vasudan%20Central%20Intelligence)
Is this organization canon? I don't remember seeing anything about it outside of Inferno. The description needs to be edited in any case as it presumes events described within Inferno are canon.
For anyone in doubt, events in Inferno are not canon. This is emphatically not a slam against Inferno. However, only things in FS1, FS2, and Silent Threat are canon. Simply put, Inferno, Derelict, Homesick, and any other fan-made campaign are not canon sources.
-
It is not canon. I personally believe that the 99th Skulls have some Vasudan pilots.
-
There's a lot of non-canon stuff in the Wiki without any sort of NON_CANON label.
-
Thank you. Editing *now*.

It's an INF R1 organisation. Though the description isn't actually accurate either...
We had nothing to do with that entry as far as I know, so don't blame me :)

(Brings in own theory, kicking and screaming)
I always thought that SOC was a co-Terran Vasudan group, they just nabbed the best pilots from both races...well, they only borrow Alpha 1.
-
For Inferno GTVA organisations are more split. The SOC was split up and the VCI was formed from the Vasudan part of the SOC. There was no VCI during FS2 time even in our timeline. It was important for a later chapter we had planned, but since the restart the VCI doesn't exist anymore.
-
Understood. More editing...
-
Whats 'cannon' btw?
Also, i cant find nothing in the wiki, gues i dont know how to use it. *Cries*
-
Canon (only one n) is used to denote something that the game says is true as opposed to speculation by us.
-
Are the timelines cannon? Especially the 14-year war's?
The 14-year war (http://dynamic3.gamespy.com/~freespace/fsdoc/index.php?pagename=The%2014-Year%20War)
Solace me this is not fron the TVWP.
-
It's Eishtmo's timeline, and he made it before TVWP started.
There's another timeline somewhere that includes only canon events, but it's not on the Wiki.
-
I know, I know, I haven't fixed that mess yet. Been busy with other things.
The canon timeline is lying around this forum somewhere, do a search and you'll find it.
-
We're not blaming you. :) It's partly my fault also.
And the current Wiki is crap. Once we get it upgraded, it will be much easier to keep correct and up-to-date.
-
Hopefully, you'll make it easier to make a new account, too.
There have been a couple of times where I've gotten it into my head to finish the FS2 fighters list in there, but I can't be bothered to figure the thing out.
-
How much easier an account making can be? What can be nerve-wrecking is that you have to log in at least five times before you can start editing and if it asks you to log in again after you have clicked on the Preview or Save button, the changes you made will be lost.
Solace me, Goober that if you ever manage to replace the Wiki with a new one, the data will not be lost.
-
Solace? Where did you pick that word up? :lol:
No, it won't be lost. We're going to back it up and transfer everything manually.

You have to have two captialized letters in the name for it to work. "TheEishtmo" in my case. I don't think there's much else too it.

Figures...

What kinda freaking madness is this?!

Wiki.

...
I found it lying on the streets so I decided to pick it up. :)
Why? Given from the description The Cambridge Learner's dictionary says, I do not see any weirdness about it.
Solace: formal
Comfort when you are feeling sad
Maybe its too formal to be mentioned at forums?
I could not use a simpler word.
-
It's usually used as a noun, not a verb, for one thing. And yes, it's very formal. :)
A more appropriate word in that sentence would be "reassure".

Aha, so that was the problem. The grammar inquisition did a favour.

Try this. Hit the edit link on the main page and wait for the userid screen to come up. Put in your name (two capitol letters,, say, NgtM1r) and leave the password space blank and hit okay. Should get you into the edit screen for the main page. Click the links to get you back out to the page and try from there. Hopefully, it should work.
