Forgive me for a stupid question

Why do we need multiple Nexi Books, when a single Nexus book with multiple pages would do???

As You can see above: not every one likes the idea of linking books linking to more than one place.*

Additionally I think that Writer's Nexus is so much important that it should have separate book.

*- I say it just an opinion, but I change my mind if someone points me to source saying specifically that stitching two linking books in one cover destroy links.

Actually, making a Nexus book with two links would require more story, this one involving Yeesha. If not, then it would make no since, and would directly violate RAWA's guidelines listed at http://www.guildofwriters.com/wiki/RAWA%27s_Guidelines_For_Writing.

Lol, challenge accepted
But seriously, I'm not arguing (must resist temptation to say "I'm always right" :P).


What I would really like to know:
We all chat here about ideas and concept and stuff, but does actual work is being done?
Does people directly involved in development of Writer's Nexus get together (maybe outside of this forum) and have establish something coherent?

I know there was a talk on Guild Chat, but other than that, I'm not sure.

So...are the relevant Writers still working on this? Just curious. I'm still on the "do it!" side.

I don't like authorities :D No, seriously, if there was anything to argue about, and if I would care, I would ask anyone for some source or justification, including Tweek. But even I got so much from the books and games that a linking book links to just one place ;-)

Actually, making a Nexus book with two links would require more story, this one involving Yeesha. If not, then it would make no since, and would directly violate RAWA's guidelines
We are not really worried about RAWA's guidelines, to be honest... :lol:

Depends on whom you consider relevant ;-) I am still willing to do the Python coding part, I will have time in March (plenty of it, hopefully... but then, it's usually over much more quickly than it should^^). But I can't do modelling.

EDIT: I edited the wiki page to reflect my current understanding of the discussion. Please fix/complete it if it is wrong/incomplete.
I prefer e-mails to "diafero arcor de" (after adding the at and the dot) over PMs.
