Just another lurker coming into the light!

People do say that, but I'm the kind of somewhat anti-social person- I find it hard to really open up to people, especially initiate conversation. I always feel like I come off awkward and such. When I went to a con last year, I'd always feel a bit awkward and embarrassed whenever I asked people for pictures- actually I tend to feel awkward and embarrassed a whole lot.
Which explains why I like yukiho so much...heh ^^;

Oh I was just being a literature nerd with that last quote. It's a reference to Slaughterhouse-5 by Kurt Vonnegut. We just finished it in my English class, and the author overuses that statement to pass off seemingly big events as trivial.

I'll see if I can come down (though realistically I'd probably go to Orlando or closer areas) 8 hours is a lot of driving x.x

Oh, I see. I used to have similar problems talking to people but I eventually did it so often, it doesn't bother me as much.

Try going from South Florida to Jacksonville, REAL pain in the butt especially if you have a broken car. Trust me, it sucks. X_X

for card names, this site have most, if not all, translated. maybe you could use those names.

I recently found that site myself- though the latest batch they didn't translate is what I needed ^^;. The unawakened Akane SR gave me quite a headache.

Could I ask you to help me with the card descriptions? There's zero way for me to do them correctly.

I try to work on my conversational skills. If the other person initiates the conversation or it somehow gets started, I usually am able to keep the conversation flowing pretty well. But that relies on the other person so... hnng. 
I've had to go up to Jacksonville to visit relatives and the such- 6 hours each way? Such a pain.
Also: what do you mean by a broken car? RIP AC?

More like: Aunt's car had a burned up engine so bad that it was on the brink of exploding so we had to stay on the side of a highway for five hours and the trip went from 6 hours to a full 12.

I'll gladly help you with that, but I have to say that my English isn't that good so you most likely need to edit it again.

if you're OK with that then just message me the list of the card, and I'll do my best.

Welcome to the forum Tafira.  Always glad to meet more P-sans from Florida.  You as well MetalPredat0r.  I recently got to meet one of the other members from Florida in person not too long ago thanks to the forum.  I've also been all over the area for cons as well (Miami, Tampa, Orlando) on and off over the last few years, so maybe we'll run into each other one of these times.

Also the wiki DID die like a year ago, but I'm working with someone else to 'try' to make it up to date.
(Filling in a year of cards, events and poses is going to be a near impossible task)
I'll be sure to take you on that offer chaos- sometimes I stare at the 'sound effects' that are put into card names and I simply don't know to do.

My only question is why you're working on that wikia when the project-im@s wikia already has pages for all the million live girls and I myself put a lot of time into adding ALL the cards to ALL the girls' pages and fixing grammatical+spelling errors on the pages as well. Surely you could just add the names of the cards and what not to the project-im@s wikia?

That is a perfectly reasonable and valid argument, though I'm not sure if project-imas would be the first source for that very specific information. I mean- I could, and it probably would be easier to go through the up-to-date  cards you have uploaded. However when I type in 'million live wiki', the first result is the million live wikia, and while project-im@s does come right after that, I would think people who want information on cards, gashas, etc, would go to to the million live wikia. I could also do both- the template is very easy to copy and paste, though I don't know about the compatibility of wikia and wiki code.

Your thoughts?

Since ML wikia also have information about event and gacha and other thing as well, it wouldn't be a waste of time to continue with the wikia.

Problem is that there's a grand total of two people on the wikia. It's just me and someone who recently adopted the wikia. That person tends to do song related things. I'm a lazy butt and usually fill in a gasha campaign or some random cards.I don't know how to write wiki articles... at all. (And without a decent vocabulary I can only glass over the events (though since they all follow the same format I probably COULD write something up......but games)

Then it would be better to find more volunteer. I could help with translation card and event but not the song.

As a fan of Million Live that plays the game I only visited the Million Live wikia once and then didn't care to visit it again because the theme and layout of pages was pretty bad not to mention it was missing a lot of info and cards (which I know you're trying to fix). I actually checked the millionlive wikia just now and it looks like the character pages have been fixed, but the theme and main page especially still look really bad (mainly because of the color scheme and text choice). I feel like it would be better to have everything im@s related on one wikia and it would be easier to just move event and gacha information and whatever else over to the im@s-project wikia than to try and fix up the older outdated wikia. I understand where chaos176 is coming from regarding the gachas and events, but like I said you can always move those over; I don't think it would be a big deal and I can help if you need it, at least with moving things over. I have my own wikia that just runs on the basic wikia code like the Million Live wikia does and I've borrowed code from the project-im@s wiki for galleries and characters profiles and it worked fine. I'm pretty sure the code is really interchangeable. I can't really help with actually translating the events and whatnot since I know absolutely no Japanese, but if you start doing this on the project-im@s wikia maybe some of the people who work on the wikia would be willing to help out with the translating. Its up to you in the end and if you're really set on keeping up the other wikia, then I might be able to help with it a bit.

I wouldn't mind moving things over. It'd be nice to have another hand.
The person who has taken over the wikia seems to have english as a second language, and thus I can only  communicate limitedly with them.
I'll pm you my concerns with moving things over.
I don't think you REALLY need to understand Japanese to get the events. A lot of it is trial and error, and general gists should be ok. I could also run some basic background on events by Chaos if it's needed.

(also clarification: is wiki and wikia the same thing? I always thought wikia: all site that link back to the the main wikia hub, and wiki were all the independent wikis like the Touhou and Mabinogi Wikis)

[chaos176]

Personally, I thought that have ML only wikia mean that anyone who only want ML related information could find it much faster and less confusing than on  everything iM@s wikia. But I'm willing to help either way.

I understand your struggle with communicating limitedly with people; both the people that have offered to help me with my own wikia have english as a second language and one of them is bad enough that it causes miscommunications. Of course I still love getting the help and I don't blame them for being bad with english or anything but it definitely makes communicating a bit harder. I'll help with the events as much as can. On my wikia I had to run the descriptions of the characters from the game through google translate and then try and get the idea of what it was saying and write it up so it makes sense so I have experience when it comes to guess work with that kind of thing. On the wiki vs wikia thing I'm not sure I kinda switch between the terms randomly, but what you're saying makes sense.

Also I've gone ahead and made a page for the gacha campaigns; gonna fix it up a bit tonight before I go to sleep.
