Given the amount of time I have been playing on Arx, and how many of those years have been spent pursuing the same plot, you would think I would have some idea of what’s going on by now.
Yet I continue to be amazed by the number of times I have blundered around like an idiot because Mia-the-character has had information for, like, three years that Aria-the-player just straight up forgot.

So, I have a (not) serious answer to this. And that answer is that we should ask @Apos how he remembers all the things. I’m pretty sure he has a VI installed in his brain to reinforce his memory, like that one NPC in Mass Effect 3. Either that, or @hellfrog has been keeping secrets about her memory and is able to remind him of things, or Braum is seriously a wonderdog and has been trained to recognize incorrect answers like @Roz does for the Info chan.

This is a good reply, because if you stop right there the actual answer is: he doesn’t.
He checks in with other people to refresh his memory. So we can all forget stuff LIKE A COOL PERSON.

When I was actively playing Arx, I had a Google document I would just paste relevant information to. Which, last I looked at it, is now very unwieldy due to the fact that it’s the same doc for multiple characters, defined only by various color text.
I’m sure it’s all very relevant…somehow.
I almost created an Excel macro to help filter and search for clue stuff since, at the time, I had all of my clues between both characters set into an Excel doc. I had thought, at the time, that it would be really useful to create a macro that would easy separation and filtering of said information.
…and then I realized that would be far too much work.
I don't know what I'm doing. Poke at Seven Nations sevennations.aresmush.com port 2021

I put all my clues into Evernote and tag them.

Staff remembers a lot because we have multiple brains to put detail into and if something comes up, we discuss it to see who has the most knowledge on the subject. No player is expected to know everything about even any ONE lore area much less multiple ones. I don’t even think it would make sense for one person to recall everything. Seems to me like the Despite would wanna target someone like that…
lol lmao
-
@Herja clearly we need to ward Roz’s evernote against the despite

@sao you know how that’s done right

Actually I THINK that one might have been Puffin. It was definitely before Herja had meteor power.

@Roz Puffin tried to drop a boulder on my head so that sounds right.
as previously stated, good day.

@Roz Or revealed her love of eyeballs.

Eyeballs are sooooOOOO gross!!

I don’t just take eyes. I also take hands, fingers, and one’s sense of emotional stability.
And replace it with
lol lmao

As a potential new player, I would love a primer of ‘Common Knowledge’ that was placed somewhere easily accessible. I feel the game has so much history that it’s literally impossible at this point to not feel like a twit when it comes to:
You ICly would know that already.
vs.
I am a newb, please haaalp.
Just a thought.

@Mourne Literally everyone had to go through the learning curve and remembers it well. No one will roast you for using the wrong form of address or not being sure. You can always ask people or on the Info channel and everyone will clear it up right away. You can also read lore info ahead of time on the main site: https://play.arxgame.org/topics/
