My point exactly. If a new roleplayer has a dozen guides to look at, how much help is that? If they have one guide that a large sum of the community seems to support, then the decision is easy and everyone will be on the same page.

You've probably already put thought to this, but, just to state the obvious for fear of it going missed, in the case of one freaking huge guide, then it simply has to be more easily navigable than a chronologically-listed series of threads in the guide section [s]which isn't difficult, but still[/s]. Do you have a reference for what the guide might look like? The current wikidot page, bare as it is, leaves most of the format to the imagination. I presume it wouldn't look like a standard wiki/a - otherwise it would be called a wiki/a! :P

[quote]With that in mind, I want to set aside information as core 'fact' that all theories we discuss will refer to and we will fit all models to be comprehensive of, then I want to discuss opinions, models, theories and the different styles of roleplay within a subtype and how they might bridge over and connect to different ones of a different subtype, or how there might be a pattern of sorts.[/quote]

Could you maybe clarify what you mean here? I didn't quite follow.
