-Welcome to the tilde wiki!!!! The wiki for [[~Camp]]!
+Welcome to the **Library of Knowledge** for [[~Camp]]!

-This is where all the **happy campers** of http://tilde.camp can document different ideas, compile their collective research, and share information with each other, away from the noise and chaos of the mainstream internet.
+This is a **wiki** where all the **happy campers** of [[~camp]] can document different ideas, compile their collective research, and share information with each other, away from the noise and chaos of the mainstream internet.

-This is a simple wiki, powered by PHP, and using the python script [[creoledump]] to translate the [[http://www.wikicreole.org|WikiCreole]] into HTML.

+=What's Here?=

-==READ THIS FIRST
+**~~Camp** is like a new kind of "social media". Socializing happens by wandering around and interacting through various different methods, but you generally don't know who you're talking to or anything. It's about the message, not the messenger.

-**IMPORTANT:**
-* The **~~wiki** DOES recognize single line breaks, although this is not in accordance to standard **WikiCreole 1.0 specifications**.
-* The **~~wiki** has other discrepancies from specifications, listed in the [[@Discrepancies/Additions]] section below.
-* The **~~wiki** misrepresents the ~ character, for some reason. It works fine in [[links]] and **Headers** and inside the {{{no-formatting}}} tag, but it doesn't always work in the normal text. The general fix is, **if it doesn't show up, use two in it's place**.
-** **//But//** apparently it works like the --strike-- does, so if you use two tildes in two places it works like ~~this~~. Ay yi yi...
-** **Worst case scenario:** You use refer to the ~~wiki and then to ~~camp and it all breaks like this...
-** **Best case scenario:** You use the link tag whenever you refer to the [[~wiki]] or to [[~camp]] :D
+These **three pillars** of communication allow a variety of human interaction to casually and organically occur:

-For more specifics on **~~wiki** bugs scroll down to [[@Bugs]].
+* The [[~talk]] is the teepee, a place for casual conversation.
+* The [[openbook]] platform is the "stage", the most public and central place in the camp, a place to put things that everyone will see.
+* The [[~wiki]] - **you are here.** This is the library, where we patiently gather our knowledge and coalesce our vision over time. This is the slowest moving communication, but also the most organized, succinct, and detailed collection of information we have. This is the knowledgable foundation to the whole website.

-==Syntax
+Additionally, the [[openbook]] platform and the [[~wiki]] are uniquely related, in that every hashtag on [[openbook]] automatically gets it's own [[~wiki]] page, so that the whole camp can collectively agree on the definition of different hashtags. This helps the information posted on [[openbook]] to remain highly organized and easily accessible. Openbook even allows future users to tag older posts, so that we can all help keep it organized.

-To play around with [[http://www.wikicreole.org/|WikiCreole]] syntax, and try to get a hang of it, feel free to play around in the [[sandbox]] where you can try out whatever you want!
+==~wiki

-The syntax for WikiCreole is below:
+* [[~wiki]] - **//you are here.//**\\
+Anyone can edit it. No login required.\\
+So don't tell anyone about it who will deface it.\\
+Keep it small, and keep it smart.

-{{http://www.wikicreole.org/imageServlet?page=CheatSheet%2Fcreole_cheat_sheet.png}}
+This is the foundation of this whole website. This is the slow-and-steady machine humming in the background.

-==Changelog
+==~talk

-This logs any changes made to the background programming of the [[~wiki]].
+* [[~talk]] - **//a chatroom.//**\\
+Anyone can join. No login required.\\
+So don't tell anyone who will just troll.\\
+Keep it small, and keep it smart.

-* The articles can contain spaces now! Yay! :)
+**"It's like a cafe with two rooms. You can just hang out and chat about whatever you want."**

-==Bugs
+The [[~talk]] chatroom is for casual real-time conversation. Users in [[~talk]] are encouraged to NOT make a user account, and instead use **"guest access"** to log in with some random pseudonym. This allows unique conversations to develop, allowing everyone the privacy of appearing strangers to each other while they discuss their inner thoughts. The chat logs only remember the last 20 lines.

-This is where all the known bugs are listed. Please add to the list if you find any.
+* [[Openbook]] - **//an anonymous "social media" platform.//**\\
+Anyone can post. No login required.\\
+The bots already tried to take this down, so there is one small thing you have to do before you can post. I'll have to tell you in person.

-* The ~ doesn't always show up.
-** The ~ **//will//** work in a header, or a link, or in the "no formatting" tag.
-** The ~ **//will//** work in normal text //if// no characters directly follow it, as in this~ or standing alone like ~
-** The ~ **//won't//** work in normal text if any characters come right after it.
+=The Library of Knowledge=

-===Discrepancies/Additions
+The [[~wiki]] is the Library of [[~Camp]]. It is the gathering and collecting of knowledge. It is the coalescing of a deeper understanding, and a way to leave breadcrumb trails to help each other find our way.

-This is stuff that is not exactly according to WikiCreole 1.0 specifications, although it's not technically a "bug".
+**//Welcome!//🍻**

-* A single line break **will** be represented on the page, as a line break, although it's not supposed to.
-* All headers have an "id=" of the same name, which means they can be linked to with a "page jump" link.
-* To create a "page jump" link that will link to a header on the page, just create a link of the same name as the header with the "@" symbol just before it. Like: {{{[[@header]]}}}.
+Below you'll find some fun little sections of the Library that help us wrap our heads around all this knowledge.
+
+==Knowledge Banks===
+
+The Knowledge Banks are just categories, collecting information according to the form and function of that Knowledge Bank. These methods of how to decipher and categorize information into the appropriate Knowledge Banks is usually a process further expounded upon within the Knowledge Bank's main page.
+
+[[Lost Futures]] is a place to wrap our heads around the apocalypse we live in, how to cope, and how to survive.
+
+[[Found Futures]] is a place where we can theorize about systems and things that could still yet make the world a better place.
+
+[[Schizoid Realizations]] is a place to share different realizations you might have had, that you cannot reveal, because they would give up your secrets or illusions of security and normalcy in everyday life. These are the things that you want to say, but feel that you "can't".
+
+[[Hacker Paradise]] is a place where we can share our coding adventures, tips and tricks, and categorize our knowledge of how to do cool coder stuff.
+
+[[Human Resistance]] is where we discuss the perfect storm of technologies hijacking our psychology to plunge us into an emotionally toxic feedback loop that leaves everyone feeling vacant and lonely. We discuss the issues at hand, the limits of artificial intelligence, and how to mitigate these effects and create tools that help. But also to discuss more big-picture strategies and actions we can take.
+
+==Unadulterated Creativity
+
+[[Fantasy Worlds]] is a place to get away, and a catalogue of alternative realities. This includes videogames, books, tabletop games, card games, pen and paper games, role-playing in chat rooms, and even writing collective stories together in the pages of this very wiki!
+
+* [[holodeck]] - a simple command-line game that anyone can play and everyone can contribute to.
+* [[asciiwith.us]] - a game of drawing things using letters, and creating a world together with others.
