Hi! I'm xnera. I've been a Cubehunter since May 2006, and I've got several wiki projects I'm working on.

[edit] Calling Chicago-area Cubehunters!
Hey! Are you from the greater Chicago area? Interested in getting together with your fellow area Cubehunters for puzzle-card trading and solving, along with food & drink and stimulating conversation? I'm working on organizing the Chicago area Cubehunters. Because if we can show Mind Candy that there's a bunch of us here, then maybe we can convince them to host a LIVE EVENT! here in the future. :D
Interested? Leave a comment on my Talk page, track me down on #syzygy (an IRC channel dedicated to Perplex City talk), or leave me a PM at UnForums.
[edit] About ME!
30-something female from the Chicago-ish area, owned by a cat, yadda yadda yadda.
I first heard about Perplex City when I stumbled across Unforums while searching for information about the River Tam Sessions, which were a series of short viral marketing videos promoting the movie Serenity. I was intrigued by the whole idea of ARGs, but at the time decided I wasn't quite ready to get involved in them.
Time passed. Then in May 2006, I was browsing ThinkGeek, looking for gift ideas for some friends of mine, when I saw the Perplex City Puzzle Cards on their site. I placed an order for my first four-pack of cards on 19 May 2006. I quickly became hooked, achieving the red leitmark in early June and the orange by the end of the June 2006. :D I write about PXC often in my journal, and check for updates frequently throughout the day. I'm often found in #syzygy and on Unforums.
I've previously done indexing and summarizing as part of the historic_alley team. We indexed posts made to nraged, a fan community for the nocturne_alley Harry Potter RPG on LiveJournal. It was fun! I'm looking forward to making many contributions to the wiki.
[edit] Wiki Projects
Currently, I'm working on the following wiki projects:
[edit] Flagging Pages
One of the simpliest things I'm doing is flagging pages with the {{stub}} and {{cleanup}} tags, so as to identify pages that need work.
[edit] Categorization
I'm creating categories and adding pages to those categories, whenever possible, so as to better link like pages.
[edit] Infobox Templates
I'm working on creating Infobox templates so that important information can be highlighted on article pages.
- Category:Infobox templates shows a list of all templates
- Template:Infobox building
- Template:Infobox Perplexian
- Template:Infobox Cubehunter
- Template:Infobox Puzzlecard
[edit] Cleanup
I'm expanding stub articles, and cleaning up larger ones. My goal is to make pages as clear as possible, while also including background information so that the reader gets a sense of how the topic at hand fits into the big picture.
[edit] Help pages
Finally, I'm updating the various Help pages and adding new ones so that they best serve the current needs of wiki users.
