AuroraWiki:Community Portal
From AuroraWiki
Aurora is a community of people participating in geofiction -- creating and detailing an entire different world, and relating as nation to nation therein. It's a game, and meant to be fun, but we try for realism in what we dream up. There's no way to "win" except by enjoying what you and others create - Aurora is much more about cooperation than competition. That said, we each want to come up with the "best" story line, the most engaging characters, the best characterized nation... but that's in a context of all the rest of the world of Aurora. In the best tradition of cooperative writing, we play off one another's ideas and dialog, with far more interesting results than if any one of us wrote an entire novel or screenplay.
This wiki and players' individual websites are where we do nation-building and -detailing. The Discussion Board is where we conduct international relations and "publish" news and story lines involving our nations and their people. The main Aurora website is a hub for information about the game - concise list of national website links, rules, how to join, resources to assist with nation building.
When referring interested outsiders to the game and world of Aurora, please direct them first to the main website since that will best explain us as a game. If there's some info in the wiki or board that would interest an outsider, by all means provide direct links there too, just remember that those are where we present our geofiction as though it were fact :-).
