Faction right to lie on Wiki

[lousal]

I doubt that there is a deeper sense in publishing such kind of information. If we would extend the RP approach on the Discovery Wiki it should actually be written by historians, so I would rather believe that these people would rather try to decribe the little they know, even delving into speculations, than to know simply everything.

FL Tools, such as Data Storm or Companion, very useful as they might be are generally spoling the RP atmosphere and distorting a kind of purer game play. It is really enough that players do not have to explore the systems again but using their personal memory when switching characters.

And now I would like to get one question answered:

What is actually more important - a thrilling universe because everybody has to explore it providing many surprises to everybody over a longer time, or the quetionable intention to record simply everything and thus spoiling fun?

I do not like such OORP shortcuts at all. It is troublesome enough regarding role play that game mechanics are revealing too much if one is really eager to find things out without having them experienced on his characters, but as much as the Wiki Team bears a heavy responsibility, which is to display Sirius as it could happen in an imaginary Encyclopedia Siriana, they also bear the same amount of responsibility not to spoil things that are meant to create fun.

Why is there a Scientist ID at all, if they are not needed?
