ninth. voice (when the system's wrong, you gotta tear it down).

[Mello is all business today - it's Door day, which means new arrivals are likely scanning the network looking for answers, and those who have been here may be looking for signs of those they know who have just arrived. No time like now to make his appeal to his fellow captives.]

We need better documentation. I know this isn't the first time I've said this, and it's maybe even more true now than before - the Null's recent contact with us and the information we've been able to glean from them makes a compelling argument for this, I think.

[He pauses, collecting the words for the rest of what he has to say.]

Frankly, we're not very well organized. We can do better than we have been. What I'm proposing is this: I want to assemble a team to collect and maintain information about our circumstances here - the entities responsible for bringing and keeping us here, their enemies, this war in which we've found ourselves caught in the crossfire. It's not an exaggeration to say that our survival could very well depend on these efforts. Now, I don't care if you have special qualifications or prior experience with this sort of thing - all I ask is that you agree to work as a team, and that if you say you'll do the work, you follow through reliably. If you're new here, familiarize yourselves with the introductory guide and the historical record. Ask questions. Bring us your ideas. If you uncover relevant information, you can contact me, Mello. I'm in the directory, under M.

Why would special qualifications or prior experience not have any relevance to this sort of team? Wouldn’t it be better to have those who have experience with gathering and collecting concise and accurate information for everyone to use? If it is available for everyone to edit then you’re more likely to have errors as well as those with more experience having to redo efforts that have already been made.

Those who don't hold the intellect to assist in such a role should find other ways to ensure survival such as combat and foraging. In any society there are roles for everyone to take. Working outside those roles will disrupt a functioning system.

I'll review the other information and issue feed bad when I've learned enough to fill in the holes and inaccuracies that I believe your notes currently possess.

Are you qualified to gather this information given your lack of clarity and inconsistency?

I've been here more than one day and I was planning to offer my services but you don't sound qualified to be gathering or displaying information.
