Board Thread:General Discussion/@comment-5275759-20160805093451

It's that time once again, when a new light novel volume has been released and there will soon be a fair amount of new information to be added to the wiki. As usual, edits regarding newly released novel content are prohibited until the novel is fully translated. However, there are a number of things which could do with discussion in the meantime. Before we are permitted to add stuff from NT16, it'd be a good idea to discuss and plan some of the additions that are going to be carried out and get a rough idea of what is going to be done, how it's going to be done and who is interested in doing it (so we don't inadvertently thwart one another's efforts (after all, it can be annoying when you put a fair amount into something only for it to have turned out to have been for naught), and can cooperate to achieve the optimum result).

The thread has been launched a tad early, so the amount of information we're going to be dealing with isn't fully known. It will be updated as time progresses and thing become clearer. At the moment, the visible stuff will be what we know based on the preview, with the other stuff concealed or withheld.

If you have any suggestions for the lists, or any ideas/plans regarding NT16's additions, please suggest/mention them below. Suggestions for the poll regarding NT16's arc name would also be appreciated when the nature of the arc becomes clear.

Also, if you are interested in doing some of the NT16 work or have made plans to (or think you will do some spontaneously), please let us know below so notes can be made on the list and others made aware, in order to avoid any inconvenience.

Note: One other minor request and I'm sorry if I'm being a bit intrusive here; if it's OK, could any contributors making NT16 edits please try to avoid rushing ahead, check your work when you submit it and avoid being too flowery/purple with your summaries. Apologies if this comes across a bit irritating, but it means less work and fewer problems for others later and it would be greatly appreciated.

Additionally, please be aware that there are areas in the novel where things are not necessarily how they may seem and where people may be prone to assumption. Please exercise care when dealing with these areas.

Edit: Pre-release poll for those who are interested. Less than one week to go before NT16 is released. What in particular do you hope to see or are looking forward to? Consequences of previous events Character development Revealed secrets Long-awaited encounters Masterminds making their move Tokiwadai mobilizing Less Kamisato The nature of the enemy Swimsuits Unforeseen circumstances None of the above
