Talk:Alec Benson Leary calls

Purpose of this page

I disagree with Clyde that there is no validity of having a separate page for calls. I agree that they should be mentioned in Asperchu. However, I think dealing with calls, we need a separate article to establish a narrative for this series of calls - someone should be able to read this page and get a sense of the stringing themes and narrative associated with the calls. Also, just dumping this all in Asperchu detracts the conflict between Asperchu and Chris as opposed to Alec and Chris.

So ideally, each call is gonna have a brief narrative of what is being discussed - previous calls are referenced, IIRC, so another reason why we need a page. If people want to check out the calls, they can do so by looking at each call's page. --Champthom 07:31, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

• Not to stick my nose into this, but I can see the validity of both perspectives. I think we should keep the separate page for now and see how it evolves. If it remains as an index with no real detail, I think it should just be merged with Asperchu, and we could refer to the subsection. If it develops an identity of its own, it should stay separate. I can't think of any other series of calls/audios that has its own index page; perhaps the way this page develops could be a precedent for how we deal with the others.

tl;dr: Let's wait and see how it goes. - Liquid! 15:12, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

• Yeah, that sounds fair. But in theory, this page might not develop because people are too lazy to do anything with it. Just saying. Also, now that I think about it, the Julie PSN chats and the Mumble chats could have an index page. --Champthom 18:21, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
  • Yeah, I see your point. I guess a large part of why I'm saying 'wait and see' as opposed to doing is because I don't really know what such an index should look like and the level of detail it should have. I feel kind of invested in the Mumble chats, so I'll fiddle with the main page later and create small sections for each chat (similar to how this one looks atm) with a brief paragraph to summarise each one and see how it goes down. Is that the kind of thing you had in mind? - Liquid! 20:11, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

• Yeah, I was sorta thinking something along those lines. I was thinking of a separate page for the Mumble chats, but then I'm like "Do we really need a separate page to explain what Mumble is, and another page for the Mumble chats?" Might as well repurpose the Mumble page into an index for the Mumble chats, since when most people refer to "Mumble" it's in respect to the Mumble chats. --Champthom 20:16, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Have a look now and tell me what you think so far. I'm writing up new summaries for Mumble 10 and 11, so those will be up later today or early tomorrow.

hey get the dates

Green for Alec/Text colors

No offense people, but do you actually, you know, try reading that green font? It's shit, it hurts my eyes, baby Jesus tried to read it and he cried. Yes, it's fun to color code but I'd rather have everything be in "dull" black and readable than some "fun" color and unreadable.

Also, remember to wikify transcripts. I don't give a fuck if it's hard to tell a link is wikified for Chris's blue font, this is a god damn wiki and pages should be wikified with links to explain the content of the transcript. --Champthom 18:23, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Would this color be better? I could go through and fix it. --Scarf 20:20, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
