This is a huge undertaking. Bravo to those who do this! 😊

I have a suggestion that might help to consider... Think of who will come here in the first place and spend the most energy on that. Would a player who has never even opened the game come here to read the very first steps of starting the game? Maybe. But I think most people who find this site have already started playing, enjoy the game, and wants to learn more than the SN in-game FAQs offer. A recent thread asked how people found this place, and almost everyone said they googled to learn more about it and found this site.

So while it's good to have a thorough accounting of everything that happens in the game, it might be most helpful to those who come here to first address the concerns that bring them here. And if there's more time and energy after doing all that, then go back and fill in the first steps more fully.

I'm not suggesting skip the beginning. Instead, I'm thinking that the beginning can be more of a skeleton until after the bigger parts are addressed. That way if time and energy dwindles, the more important game aspects will be in place.

Having said that, I love the idea of starting off with definitions of common abbreviations used around here and in the game. I'm still working on learning the right terminology for certain things (such as if CI refers to the 5 items that make up a final collection item, what do you call the 5 items that make up a final artifact?).

Anyway, it's just a thought. 😊
