Template:CondMap

Brad: Fixed map markers

This map uses the [[Template:CondMap|CondMap]] template and should not be edited directly. Please see [[Maps]] for further details and links to all raw data pages</includeonly><noinclude>
This template is intended to be used to allow a single reference source for map objects. This template is still being actively worked on ans is as yet undocumented. If in doubt, don't use it yet.

By default the generated map is 512x1024 pixels, at zoom level 2

The reason this template is required is that passing templates into extensions requires use of the #tag: function. In practice this template can probably be simplified somewhat

Parameters:

*lat
*lon
*zoom
*width
*height
*contentonly - The important part of this template. If contentonly=yes then only the first parameter (the map data lines) will be returned from the template. This allows condmaps to be nested so that multiple maps can be merged

'''Tale VI is coming!'''

From: teppy@talemail.net<br>
Date: Thu 10/27/11 11:33 PM

Citizens of Egypt,

'''I'm writing to announce the final month of A Tale in the Desert V, the wrap-up of our experiment with ATITD shards, and the launch of A Tale in the Desert VI.''' We'll kick all of this off with a Welcome Back Weekend and a traditional ATITD Halloween event. The fun will start:

Friday, Oct 28, beginning at 12:00 Noon EST (GMT-0500)

Werewolves in Egypt is a version of the party game known as Werewolf/Mafia/Assassin, adapted to a massively multiplayer environment. We'll play this starting:

Saturday, Oct 29, beginning at 12:00 Noon EST (GMT-0500)

Those that sign up to play (by building a Mortuary Temple) are randomly split into Werewolves and Villagers. The game proceeds in night-day rounds of 15 minutes each. During night rounds, werewolves are active. They may:

- Sniff a Mortuary Temple to get a fellow player's scent (3x/night)
- Attack a player who's scent they have already gotten (1x/night)

During day rounds villagers are active. They may:

- Vote to lynch a suspected werewolf. Villagers get 7 votes per day, and can place them all on one werewolf, or spread them around.

A few Villagers are also Seers. Seers have the ability to tell who is a werewolf, and they may use this special ability 4x/day.
Prizes will be distributed to the winning team - if Villagers win, prizes are based on how many Werewolves each Villager helped lynch. If the Werewolves win, then prizes are based on how many Villagers each Werewolf helped kill. This event is an absolute blast - don't miss it!
We're running a number of other events this weekend as well - check the in-game calendar for Decathlon, Reflection, Tug and other "conflict" contests.

As some of you know, we tried an experiment with "shards" of A Tale in the Desert IV, based on the theory that MMORPGs have a "Dunbar's Number" - a specific number of players that they tend to cluster around, due to game design coupled with how our brains work in keeping track of friendships. If the Dunbar's Number hypothesis is true, and the effect strong, then a way to grow ATITD would be to create many shards, each of which would stabilize at the "natural" size for ATITD's design. This wasn't just blind speculation: various Tellings of ATITD have tended to stay around 1500 users for a long time, and our Bastet shard remained at about 500 users for some time.
However, subscribers to Bastet did then decline significantly, and so I think it's time to wrap up our "shard" experiment. Tale IV Bastet will conclude concurrently with Tale V, and existing accounts for both games will transition to Tale VI. '''Starting next week, and for the final month, Tale IV Bastet will be a free-to-play game''', and any monuments that are successfully completed will become full Tests in Tale VI.

'''Finally, mark your calendars - A Tale in the Desert VI will begin:'''

'''Saturday, December 3, Beginning at 12:00 Noon EST (GMT-0500)'''

I'll have more details closer to the launch.

Evening on the Nile,
Teppy (Pharaoh)

But don't make it one of those ones that you NEVER check, or what's the point?

== Information from Tale 4 ==
If you copy information directly from an old Tale, make sure you tag the page with the <nowiki>{{T4}}</nowiki> template so that it is clear that the information needs checking!

Also, as we clean up these pages please use {{5ok}} <nowiki>{{5ok}}</nowiki> to mark specific information as having been verified. Information that still needs to be verified should be marked with {{5}} <nowiki>{{5}}</nowiki>. Once all information has been marked with one of these, the T4 banner can be removed from the heading of the page, helping eliminate confusion. (See the [[Skills]] page for an example.)

<INCLUDEONLY><span lang="{{{1}}}">{{#ifexist: {{#if: {{{2|}}} | {{{2}}} | {{FULLPAGENAME}}}}/{{{1}}}|{{#if: {{{2|}}}|[[{{{2}}}/{{{1}}}|{{#language:{{{1}}}}}]]| [[{{FULLPAGENAME}}/{{{1}}}|{{#language:{{{1}}}}}]]}}|<span style="color: #888">{{#language:{{{1}}}}}</span>}}</span></INCLUDEONLY><noinclude>
== Template ==
''This sub-template doesn't display properly when not included. Please see [[Template:Languages]] for the complete version.''

== Usage ==

This template is designed to simplify [[Template:Languages]], by allowing a simpler syntax for adding new languages. Each language is included by calling this template with the following parameters:

* '''Language code''' (e.g. fr)
* (optional) '''Page name''' - if not supplied the page is automatically worked out based on where the language template is included.

This template should not be used anywhere except in the Languages template.
[[Category:Language templates]]
</noinclude>

Template:Languages

2018-10-09T04:46:39Z

Brad:

== Template ==

<onlyinclude><div class="LanguageLinks">
<table width="100%">
<tr valign="top" style="background: #EEF3E2">
<td style="width: 25px; padding-left: 0.5em;">[[Image:Geographylogo.png|25px|Languages]]</td>
<td style="width: 10px; white-space: nowrap; padding: 4px 1em 0 0.5em; border-right: 1px solid #aaaaaa;">'''[[Project:Language policy|Languages]]:''' </td><td style="padding: 1px 1em 0; background: #F6F9ED;">

{{Languages/Lang|de|{{{1|}}}}}

{{Languages/Lang|fr|{{{1|}}}}}

{{Languages/Lang|tr|{{{1|}}}}}

</td></tr></table></div></onlyinclude>

== Syntax ==
<nowiki>{{Languages|PageName}}</nowiki>

* '''PageName''' (optional) - the name of the page to display language links for. If omitted then the English version of the current page is used. This parameter can normally be omitted, as it is only required if you want to link to a page other than the one you place the template on, which is very uncommon. If this parameter is used on a sub-page make sure you supply the root name, not the full page name (e.g. on [[MediaWiki/fr]] you would need to use <code><nowiki>{{Languages|MediaWiki}}</nowiki></code> and not <code><nowiki>{{Languages|MediaWiki/fr}}</nowiki></code>).

== Usage ==

The template should only be placed on pages that exist in more than one language, and it should be placed in the same location on each translation of the page.

The English version of a page is always the main version, with all other languages as sub-pages, named using the appropriate language code (see below).

For example, on the Main Page you would include the text <code><nowiki>{{Languages}}</nowiki></code>, both on [[Main Page]] itself, and on each of its language sub-pages. The template automatically creates links to any language sub-pages that exist, e.g. <tt>Main Page/ja</tt>, <tt>Main Page/fr</tt>, and ignores non-existant languages.

See [[Project:Language policy]] for further details about translating pages.

== Supported languages ==
This shows you the name of each language's sub-page (using ''Main Page'' as an example). Other languages may be added easily as necessary. Please use the appropriate [[meta:List of Wikipedias|prefix, as used on Wikipedia]] when adding a new language. Please do ''not'' add languages for which no pages exist yet, as this will increase the time needed to include the template without adding any benefit (languages are only displayed to the user when the relevant page exists).

The link on the language names goes to the Wikipedia in that language. '''If no Wikipedia in your language exists, do not add pages in that language to MediaWiki.org!''' This wiki is not the place for language advocacy - please go through the correct channels, and once your language has a Wikipedia then please return to add content here.
