Yeah, count me in. l can start tomorrow.
But first, how do you think it should look like? Some ideas, based off of Wiki Vandal
Sorry for the post being wonky, but I'm on mobile. I haven't done any edits though, so no worries.

JustForFun.A Wiki Vandal Draws Near

Currently mostly inactive. An incremental game I tested: https://galaxy.click/play/176 (Gods of Incremental)We can set up a vote if other tropers decide to join in. Those names all look good, but I don't think it should be between just two people.
Other tropes who appear can also potentially give their ideas, too. Thus, they should be also considered.
Off-topic, I now need to know how to edit thread names since this one has a blatant typo, and blatant typos discourage the majority of tropers from showing up
The hmaun biran wlil crcerot taht, I tnihk
Joking aside, I think the index could be either what's already been suggested or JustForFun.Wiki Encounters Index. And JustForFun.Encountering An X would be my suggestion for them.

Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they prettyI think we can use those for the main index. But which one do we choose?
Thank you, Fighteer.
Is there anyone else who is interested in this project?
Well, to move them to a new namespace or to resurrect the game project that Eddie had in mind?

To move them to a new namespace, but if people are interested, we may restart the project.

Currently mostly inactive. An incremental game I tested: https://galaxy.click/play/176 (Gods of Incremental)"Restarting the project" takes two forms. One would be to expand and flesh out the articles so they read like a game, without any intent to make it interactive beyond clicking through them. The other would be to create the actual coding necessary to turn it into an interactive game. I don't think we'll get the latter from our in-house resources.
It might be cool if someone were to take the Encounters pages and work them into a game offsite. Maybe we could even "sponsor" that effort, if the admins agree.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"I think it might be best to leave it as Just for Fun. I don't know anyone who would be willing to make the code for the game, and I'm not sure if making it "click to next page" on the wiki would be practical.
Does anyone here remember the TV Tropes Encounters.Index? You know, the pages that detail certain kinds of troublemakers TV Tropes faces on a day-to-day basis in a sort of forum RPG?
None of the pages have been touched in years since Fast Eddie's era and I was hoping to convert it into a series of Just for Fun pages.
I was wondering if anyone would want to join in and help get it converted?
