Doram:

=== Work distribution ===

Hey guys/girls, do we plan to distribute some of the work to be done here, or we just tackle random things?
I'm asking because I wouldn't want to work on something that someone else already started doing but didn't upload yet. --[[User:Rumata|Rumata]] ([[User talk:Rumata|talk]]) 05:20, 11 November 2013 (MST)

:I guess if you're working on something but haven't uploaded it yet, it's best if you note it in the Discussion page of the article to avoid complications. Otherwise, you might as well edit and correct things at random if you ask me. [[User:Germz|Germz]] ([[User talk:Germz|talk]]) 09:51, 20 November 2013 (MST)

::I've considered that, rumata. I don't want to "assign" things to people, but it wouldn't be bad to edit the page with something like "spacey is working on this and update coming within the hour/day/whatever". Doesn't matter to me that the page suddenly looks like it exists... it's probably better because then it's not so obvious that someone *needs* to work on it - [[User:Spacekadt|Spacekadt]] ([[User talk:Spacekadt|talk]]) 00:40, 21 November 2013 (MST)

I really don't want people to have to dig through multiple levels to find information. I'm all for making things prettier, but I really do like how french wiki is set up that almost everything is accessible with one click from the main page. [[User:Spacekadt|Spacekadt]] ([[User talk:Spacekadt|talk]]) 17:37, 27 November 2013 (MST)

:I agree that having good navigation on the front page is a goal worth aiming for. I also agree that an "I'm working on this." warning on the top of the page should be enough for any of us to back off and avoid duplicating work. [[User:Doram|Doram]] ([[User talk:Doram|talk]]) 18:29, 15 December 2013 (MST)

=== Daedalus Map ===

I want to suggest adding the point "Map" under Daedalus. Could be very helpful if you had to drop your map to see where to go and how much MP you need. [[User:Tatsukishi|Tatsukishi]] ([[User talk:Tatsukishi|talk]]) 05:22, 2 December 2013 (MST)

:I need to find the map I uploaded, but that's a really good idea. I'll add it when I find it and get a moment. [[User:Spacekadt|Spacekadt]] ([[User talk:Spacekadt|talk]])

::I updated the Image with numbers for the rooms and added a Table for the names and relevant equipment. [[User:Tatsukishi|Tatsukishi]] ([[User talk:Tatsukishi|talk]]) 10:47, 15 December 2013 (MST)

We ([[User:Delzoup|Delzoup]] and me) would like to make the rooms on the map clickable (leading to the Ship Equipment page) with an ImageMap, which requires a plugin. Can an admin activate it please? [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ImageMap#Installation_Guide "Guide" ] - [[User:Tatsukishi|Tatsukishi]] ([[User talk:Tatsukishi|talk]]) 14:35, 19 December 2013 (MST)

=== Mush Universe Info ===

I wanted to suggest that getting some more general info on the fictional Mush universe would be both very cool for fans, as well as useful for serious RP gamers. Perhaps a new category, and maybe reorganizing a few pages to support the concept. What do you all think? [[User:Doram|Doram]] ([[User talk:Doram|talk]]) 18:29, 15 December 2013 (MST)

=== Wiki design ===
I would very much like to edit the wiki's design to style it after the Mush site. Would you be willing to help me out with this? (Grant me necessary privileges or, at least, access to the relevant files like CSS etc.) [[User:Ividyon|Ividyon]] ([[User talk:Ividyon|talk]]) 17:29, 10 December 2013 (MST)

:What kind of vision do you have in mind? I found a wiki layout that I like a LOT and would like to emulate as far as the navigation goes. I have *some* ideas for what to do with the main page, but I'm not entirely sold on it. Are you ever in IRC that we can chat about what you want to do? [[User:Spacekadt|Spacekadt]] ([[User talk:Spacekadt|talk]])

::I have some graphics skills, and wouldn't mind helping out too. I would assume Invidyon would like to emulate the color scheme, star background, and other signature elements of the Mush game page. I'm all for it.[[User:Doram|Doram]] ([[User talk:Doram|talk]]) 18:29, 15 December 2013 (MST)

:It seems that the creators demand that fan sites do not emulate the looks of the original site (to avoid player confusion, making them believe it's an official resource), which kind of killed my enthusiasm. [[User:Ividyon|Ividyon]] ([[User talk:Ividyon|talk]]) 03:41, 16 December 2013 (MST)

::Awwww. That kinda stinks. Well, we could certainly work on giving this place something other than default settings. Maybe take the White and Blue theme further, or pick some other colors... [[User:Doram|Doram]] ([[User talk:Doram|talk]]) 05:38, 16 December 2013 (MST)

=== French Wiki ===

What is the opinion of the group on translating the info on the [http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=fr&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.twinpedia.com%2Fmush Twinpedia section for Mush]? Good idea? Not allowed? I'm willing to spend some time copying and cleaning up Google's uneducated guesswork with the actual English game terms. [[User:Doram|Doram]] ([[User talk:Doram|talk]]) 09:28, 17 December 2013 (MST)

: I don't mind it as placeholder text and it's definitely been done for some pages and some info. But my ultimate goal is that we rely on our own knowledge since they have a season change under their belt and they may have some differences in the game. [[User:Spacekadt|Spacekadt]] ([[User talk:Spacekadt|talk]])

=== Template Cleanup ===
There are a number of duplicate templates in there, and some of the simple individual templates could work better when combined into a more complex one. Whoever is interested and has the time should look at it, I think. [[User:Doram|Doram]] ([[User talk:Doram|talk]]) 10:51, 21 December 2013 (MST)

:If you give me some estimate pointers on what you're talking about, I'll get right on it! [[User:Ividyon|Ividyon]] ([[User talk:Ividyon|talk]]) 10:56, 21 December 2013 (MST)

:Check this page: http://mushpedia.com/index.php?title=Special%3AAllPages&from=&to=&namespace=10 And take a look. There's Template:AP and Template:Ap and Template:MP and Template:Mp, etc. Also, there are multiple character icon templates. We could consolidate and make more complex replacements. Possibly modifying the most recent Template:Character to include being able to produce not just the small icons, but also the full body icons, character portraits, etc. Also, we have skills, but we could also have another "Interface" icons template with stuff like oxygen, fuel, live/dead/mush icons from the top-right, and possibly another template to catch all the statuses.

'''[http://mush.twinoid.com/ Mush]''' is an interstellar survival game. Unlike Motion Twin's other survival game, '''[http://www.die2nite.com/#index Die2Nite]''', there is a heavy emphasis on coordination and teamwork between all members on the Human and Mush teams. Survival is accomplished via doing assorted tasks on the ship that will be useful to your teammates. The more survivors you have on your team, the easier it gets!

The plot is simple: '''''Aliens''''' have invaded Earth, and worst yet, they have covertly taken over the Earth government and are trying to wipe humanity from the Universe. 16 desperate humans escape in an experimental ship to try and save Humanity from {{Character|Mush|long}}.

__TOC__
==Game Overview==
===Teams===
{{Main|Human Play}}{{Main|Mush Play}}
There are two teams of players on the ship. {{character|humans|long}} who are trying to save Humanity, and {{character|mush|long}} who are trying to destroy us all. Every ship starts with two randomly chosen Mush. The only person that cannot be chosen as a first-round Mush (commonly called an Alpha Mush) is {{character|chun|long}} because she is 100% immune to the Mush infection. All 16 characters start out in cryosleep, and awaken as fellow Twinoid players choose who they will portray and begin playing the game. All players start out Human. Once all 16 characters have woken up, the two Alpha Mush will be chosen. Every character, including Mush, earn {{Glory}} [[Glory]] for different actions, and the most important character is chosen at the end of the game by whoever has the most Glory points.

[[Human_Play|Human Goals:]]
* Find and destroy '''ALL''' Mush that are on the ship.
* Study the Mush and create the Anti-Mush Serum.
* Either return to Sol with the serum, or go to Eden and start Humanity from scratch.

[[Mush_Play|Mush goals:]]
* Kill or Infect all Humans
* Destroy the Daedalus or survive to ensure the infection of Sol or Eden

===Communication===
{{Main|Chat}}
The most important tool you have while playing this game is communication. The tool used for this is the [[Chat|chat box]]. It appears to the right of your screen. Be sure to keep an eye on it to coordinate with your fellow crew! Mush have their own private secondary channel which is only visible to them, unless a project allows access to the Human crew. Favorited threads will show up in their own tab. You can also have up to 3 private discussion tabs open at any time. Each private discussion tab can have any number of participants, but only they will be able to see what is said. Use the tabs at the top of the chat box to navigate between different sections of the chat.

===Ship Stats to Monitor===
The following things are required for the game to continue. If the ship runs out of any of them, it is possible for the game to end for all people playing!

* '''Food:''' should be kept in the refectory. Being out of food for too long causes starvation. To prevent starvation do not eat unless your character is hungry and only cook food right before eating it. Food can be found while exploring or Mush can eat their own spores.

* [[Image:O2.png|class=icon-margin|Oxygen Icon]] '''Oxygen Level''' is listed at the top of the screen. It is kept in the Alpha and Bravo Central Storage rooms. Running out causes asphyxia. Oxygen can be found while exploring.

* [[Image:Fuel.png|class=icon-margin|Fuel Icon]] '''Fuel Reserves''' are listed at the top of the screen. They are kept in tanks in the Alpha and Bravo Rear Storage rooms. Running out means that you cannto move to escape hunters or find resources. Fuel can be found while exploring.

* [[Image:Shield.png|class=icon-margin|Armor Icon]] '''Armor''' is the shield at the top of the screen. It lowers one point per cycle per attacking ship. Running out means the ship is destroyed. It can be repaired by going out in a ship and using scrap metal to restore integrity.

===Individual Stats to Monitor===

* {{HP}} '''[[Health#Heath_Points|Health Points]]''' show how much damage you have taken. If you run out of health, you die. Health is lost by attacks from other crew members, random actions in the ship (including failures at things like repairing equipment), starvation, and certain illnesses.

* {{Morale}} '''[[Health#Morale_Points|Morale Points]]''' show how well you are dealing with events on the ship. If you run out of morale, you die (by suicide). Mush do not lose morale. Any character with the optimist trait will lose 1 less morale per day. If {{character|chun}} is dead all human crew members lose 1 morale per day.

* [[Image:Dirty.png|class=icon-margin|Dirty Icon]] Dirty Status lets you know when your actions have covered you in filth. It is shown as an icon over your character picture on the left. When you get dirty, you can spend 2 {{AP}} '''Action Points''' to shower (1 {{AP}} when holding the Soap) in one of the Dorms. This is important because you cannot work on projects when dirty, and Mush are easy to spot early in the game since they get dirty constantly.

==Basic Gameplay Details==
===Actions===
{{Main|Actions}}
[[Actions]] are events that use up Action Points ({{AP}}). Every action gets logged in the room for later viewing. However, not everyone can see the log of every action. Be sure you're familiar with your action's log's privacy level before doing them, as there are some things you might just want to keep a secret. Things like not eating all the food, going on expeditions to get more oxygen and fixing broken equipment are all important, so plan your actions carefully.

Moving from one room into another takes one Movement Point ({{MP}}). If you run out of moevment points when moving 1 {{AP}} will be converted into 2 {{MP}}. Plan your movements carefully! Exiting a room then re-entering the same room will spend 2 {{MP}}.

The following actions are '''Aggressive''' and may result in the player being attacked for their actions. Aggressive actions typically cost 1 {{AP}}, but if Ian is in the room, aggressive actions cost 3 {{AP}}.
* Kick Off: Unarmed attack
* Attacking with a [[Inventory#Weapons|Weapon]] (not advised as weapons can break and are more useful for expeditions)
* Infecting someone with a spore
* Guarding a room or person

'''A note on eating:'''You do NOT have to eat unless your character has the "hungry" icon. Do not eat food unless hungry as it increases the chances of the ship starving.

===Cycles===
A new cycle happens every three hours. A new day starts at 1 am, French time. [http://www.worldtimeserver.com/current_time_in_FR.aspx Click to see current game time.] Each cycle the following events occur:
* +1 {{AP}}, +1 {{MP}} (If not lying in bed)
* +2 {{AP}}, +1 {{MP}} (If lying in bed)
* +1 {{XP}} (2 {{XP}} If you're playing in {{Gold Mode}})
* -1 Oxygen from the ship's stores
* -1 point of [[Satisfaction]] (usually unmarked)
If you are online when the cycle changes over, you will need to hit the "New Cycle" button to get your cycle rewards.

===Game Modes===
There are three overall Game Modes: Bronze, Silver and {{Gold Mode}}.

'''Bronze Mode''' is the standard non-paying mode in which the game is played.
In Bronze Mode, your character will have just one free [[Skills|Skill]] slot (plus another slot for Mush skills if he/she is a {{Character|Mush}}). There are no extra perks to this mode.

'''Silver Mode''' is unlocked by buying Gold Days at least once and it's the mode you'll be in after your Gold Days run out. Gold Days rewarded from competitions do not usually trigger Silver Mode. In Silver Mode, your character will have two skill slots if human or four slots if Mush. In Mush mode, two skill slots are reserved for Mush skills while Two skill slots are for human skills.

{{Main|Gold}}
{{Gold Mode}} is a paid mode of the game, with assorted benefits.
To play in {{Gold Mode}}, you need to have Gold Days on your account. Gold Days do not count down while you're not on a ship. While you have Gold Days, you cannot play in Bronze Mode or Silver Mode.

Doram: Added Strikethrough, Quote, and mention of Smilies, Confirmed most BBCode does not work.

This page should explain the ins and out of the chat box for both humans and Mush. It's not done yet. Don't forget to talk about favorites, announcements, and how to make both!

Made the page more round and hopefully didn't left out anyting. Icons and pictures would be useful to differenciate. [[User:GeneralThomas|GeneralThomas]] ([[User talk:GeneralThomas|talk]]) 07:21, 6 December 2013 (MST)

==Basics of communication==

In Mush, communication is the key to everything. It doesn't cost anything to do so. To accomplish this, you need to have your Walkie Talkie or iTrackie (gained from being a Gold member at least once). If you dropped it, you are unable to receive or send messages until you pick it up again. Only exception to this is a Rebel Base reward, Brainsync[[Image:thinklinked.png]].

When writing, you can format it (as seen below), but once it sent, you will '''not''' be able to edit or delete them. Use caution and double check when writing sensitive material!

On each tab there is a '''number''' showing how many unread messages are there. There are golden borders and a star next to them. You may have read them before, but the game only registers this if your mouse went over it. The other method is to click the button below, making all of them read inside that tab.
Once you have sent a message, it will show up a '''1''' on the tab. Your own message get's a number and starts as unread too.

==Types of Tabs==

There are different tabs for different uses. Moving from the left, these are:
*'''Announcements''' [[File:Tip.png]]. Only the Comms Officer (Paola at the start) is able to write here, you cannot reply to it. What is written there depends on the Comms Officer, but usually it is used to establish the main short or long term goals. Think of it as objectives, to find a new planet or to defend the ship. If there is a new announcement, it will overwrite the old one, and no archives are made. Because people may not log in as frequent as the Comms Officer, it is usally only refreshed Daily, or once the goals are achieved.
*'''Room Events''' [[File:Local.gif]]. Technically not a chat, but it is a tab there. This second tab shows what happened in the previous '''6''' cycles in the room. People with the Tracker skill have full access to movement history. Some things are noted, some are not, as explained in the [[Actions|Actions]] page.
*'''Communications''' [[File:Wall.png]]. The third tab is the main chat panel, where most of the conversation with the crew will happen. Everyone with a Walkie Talkie/iTrackie can read and message here without any limit. Every time you don't reply, but write something new it will create a '''Thread'''. These can be '''Favourited'''. Each time something new is written or replied, it will show up on the top of the page, with older threads descending down. Again, if something is written here, it can't be edited later on.
*'''Favourites''' [[File:Fav.png]]. Once you have favourited a thread, this tab will show up. Here you can see any thread you favourited. Since usually these are in fewer numbers, important threads can be easily accessed here. Writing here will show up as normal for people, or favourite if they have it too. Other people can't see what threads so you have here, nor can be forced to do it against their will.
*'''Private Messages''' [[File:Private.png]] There can be 3 tabs of these. You open these with the Plus icon, then invite any number of people to it. The invitation can't be refused, but they can leave anytime they want to. If you already have 3 tabs open, new people won't be able to message you. Uninvited people can't see what you are writing here, although if you invite anyone, they '''WILL''' be able to see previous messages. It is better to close a tab, then open a fresh one. Invited people can be seen on the top of the tab, and on mouseover the last time of connection can also be seen, if vaguely. Some people use this to see if people are active, but refusing to communicate. If people die or drop their radio, they will automatically be removed.

*'''Private Mush channel''' Insert Mush shroom icon here. This in only available and seen by the Mush, and is automatically generated. Doesn't count against the 3 private tabs. It can be used to see your partners and to plan things in discretion. If a new player gets turned to mush, they will automatically join it too. There is a research that hinder this, namely the "Pheromodem".

== Text Formatting ==

Text formatting is done by encapsulating the text with specific special character sequences or corresponding [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBCode BBCode] (BBCode that is not listed does not work).

Such are:

* '''Bold''': <nowiki>**</nowiki> or <nowiki>*</nowiki> or <nowiki>[b][/b]</nowiki>
* ''<span style="color: red">Italic and red</span>'': <nowiki>//</nowiki> or <nowiki>[i][/i]</nowiki>
* <strike>Strikethrough</strike>: <nowiki>--</nowiki>
* CTRL + Enter to return to a new line
* Styles CAN be combined, but they should be nested properly (style1,style2,style3,text,/style3,/style2,/style1 - see example below)
* Generally uses the Twinoid V2 Square Smilies {{NoteWarn|Not all the commands for them are the same as the Twinoid Forums. We need to check against that list.}}
* You can do a kind of quote with <nowiki>''</nowiki> (two single quotes/apostrophes in a row) and it will put a dotted line beneath the text, indent it, and italicize it.

Example typed command:

<nowiki>*Hello World*</nowiki>
<nowiki>[b]Hello World[/b]</nowiki>
<nowiki>//Hello World//</nowiki>
<nowiki>--Hello World--</nowiki>
<nowiki>--*//Hellow World//*--</nowiki>

Outputs:

'''Hello World'''
'''Hello World'''
''<span style="color: red">Hello World</span>''
<strike>Hello World</strike>
'''''<strike><span style="color: red">Hello World</span></strike>'''''

Quote Example:

[[File:MushChatExample.png]]

==Summary and Tips==

As you can see, there are different methods to achive your goal. Want to get attention to something? Use the main chat. Want to make a thread where different researches or planets are discussed? Make a thread, ask people to favourite it. Thinking that Chao is suspicious? Private message people you think you can trust and ask around. Maybe do the opposite as a Mush and spread suspicion about Jin Su, what you planned before on the Mush channel.

Since it is free, you should always talk and plan with others to be more effective. There might be a broken fuel tank in a room next to you, but a technician with free Repair Points could do it as well. Since each character has a (more or less) defined role to play, communicating is needed to know and fulfill these. An Ian may be just 1AP short of treating a plant at cycle 8, but if he doesn't share this problem, then no one will know about it. Likewise, if you are done with your job for the moment, asking around to help may earn you praises of your teammates...or lessen any suspicions they had of you.

Text formatting should not be forgotten, the simplest one can be effective. "I just saw a fire in the Rear Corridor, please help with it." will be not as effective as "I just saw a '''fire''' in the '''Rear Corridor''', please '''help''' with it." Same could be used to order people around if needed.

I think that this should really be merged into a general projects listing. You can always just link to the section, if a direct reference is made to the Gold Projects. I don't think the subject requires enough information to warrant its own page. [[User:Doram|Doram]] ([[User talk:Doram|talk]]) 15:43, 13 December 2013 (MST)

PILGRED Reactor

Doram: Grammar and explanation fix... and then found a glaring error.

[[Image:Pilgred.jpg]] The '''PILGRED''' located in the '''Engine Room''', is the main drive of the Daedalus. Due to hunter attacks it is broken.

Participating in the repairs costs 1 [[Image:Pa_pilgred.png]] or 2 [[Image:Pa_slot1.png]]. Each repair attempt will advance the total project by a random amount chosen according to each character's efficiency.

*9-13% for physicists and technicians. [[Image:Physicist.png]][[Image:Engineer.png]]
*5-7% for physicists and technicians. [[Image:Physicist.png]][[Image:Engineer.png]] {{NoteWarn|Duplicated from line above. Clearly a typo, please correct.}}
*1% for the others.

Every repeated repair attempt reduces efficiency. If another team member contributes, then their efficiency is reset. Efficiency reductions follow a pattern as they wear down, one notch for each repetition: 9-13%, 7-10%, 5-7%, 3-4%, 1-1%, 0%. Thus, the most efficient way to conduct repairs is for two people with physicist or technician to alternate working on it.

This is not a conventional broken object, items increasing repair chance do not give bonuses, and [[Image:Pa_eng.png]] are not used

Its completion is announced by NERON with the name of the last participant.

After its completion these options are unlocked:
*The Commander can bring the Daedalus to Sol for 2 [[Image:Pa_slot1.png]], putting an end to the game.
*The coffee machine also regenerates in cycles 3, 5 and 7. {{bug|Possible bug that regenerates coffee in every cycle}}
*The Commander can bring the Daedalus to Eden if the coordinates were calculated, putting an end to the game

If the repair is completed before all crew members have woken up from cryosleep, it is possible to go to Sol. Since technically there is no Mush on board, no glory is lost.
