Innocence Lost

[robotnik2004]

This is mostly directed to bryant, though maybe somebody else has answers also:

themoniker's post today, in which Umberto Eco weighs in on the great game between zeppelins and bicycles (!), inspires me to ask: are all the various wikis & lexicons lost when innocence.com exploded gone for good? Are recovery efforts truly "in progress"?

I know Unknown USA was retrieved and hermetically sealed and I'm grateful for that. But I don't have any other copy of my For Want Of A Nail contributions or any of the Dungeon Majesty wiki, and that makes me sad. Even if you don't want to repost/rehost all that stuff (and I can totally understand if you don't feel like weeding the spam off five-year-old wikis until the end of time) is it in any retrievable form that you could send to me? What I'd really like in the short term is "Gernsblack," but the other stuff would be nice to have too.

Will gladly repay with some kind of old-style nostalgic gaming post: an episode guide for the first season of that 1970s Warren Zevon inspired Buffy game you once proposed? five unknown deleted scenes from Unknown USA? my requisite Lost rip-off (nb: cannot guarantee it involves miniaturization)?

bryant restored some of the lost innocence wikis, but I think he never got around to restoring all of them because (a) there were a lot of them and (b) he was moving at the time. I keep meaning to ask him to restore my etc. wiki because it has a lot of my stuff on it, but always forget.

[bryant]

Restored.

five unknown deleted scenes from Unknown USA?

Also you should do this even if he doesn't restore your lost wikis.

[bryant]

Oh, god, no. I can get stuff back. I'm just lazy.

[bryant]

DM is back.

My hero!

I was dismayed when I went looking that I could no longer find FWOAN on WayBack Machine. I'll have to try some of the other options out there.

[bryant]

P.S.: For Want of a Nail was which? My memory is slipping.

It was the alternate history Lexicon game. Played during summer 2006, I think.

[bryant]

Did I host that? The pulp Lexicon game I hosted (and it's been vandalized probably to death), but I didn't realize I hosted that one... what was the URL?

[bryant]

Hey, that's a neat Lexicon game.

It was part of the taci hierarchy (tantanea)

Oh!

[jeregenest.livejournal.com]

You're just all encompassing, sort of like Galactus. Or is that god, I get the two confused.

[bryant]

I'm gonna need a Silver Surfer either way.

[bryant]

Restored. There's something wonky about the formatting; working on that.

[jeregenest.livejournal.com]

Wow, your on a roll. Want to do Age of Paranoia too?

I so owe you coffee or some such.

[bryant]

RAAR done.

Also I am on a mission to fill Rob's comments section with Rocketeers.

[bryant]

That'll do.

I would be much obliged if Never-Ending Battle stayed dead and never again saw the light of day.

[bryant]

Restor -- oh, wait. OK.
