Just as a friendly reminder-

Breaking the fourth wall is sort of part of the premise of DDD. However, not everyone wants their characters spoiled about their own canon, so for etiquette's sake please run that sort of thing past the other mun first. :) That's what we've been doing, but we had a question about it so I'm reiterating.

(And don't overdo it to the point it gets old, of course. Norry wanted me to add that. ♥)

We haven't had any actual complaints about this so far, so let's keep it that way!

Thanks, everyone.

N00b here, with a n00b question

I've been wondering about that, and I have a related question.

Does Wikipedia exist on the DDD internet, and if so, does that mean that characters can research the canon of other people? Or do we just pretend that wiki doesn't have that kind of information and is just about other stuff?

I'm inclined to hope the latter, because it could give people incredible advantages, but I wasn't sure if this had been established as a rule or not.

Not a mod, but I think I can help with this one! Unless a character says "hey, if your character knows my canon, DON'T SAY ANYTHING." or asks for information about them to be minimal, then it's usually a "go for it".

I mean, we find videos on youtube of private canon scenes all the time, wikipedia sort of follows that? As long as it doesn't go against a mun's personal wishes.

Cool! Thanks XD My character is the type to go digging in wikipedia once he learns of its existence, and not want anyone else doing the same thing about him, but the mun likes to make his life miserable, so it's rather relevant. XDDD

Just to make things more complicated, I've been assuming that worlds where the Internet exists have their own Internets that are separate, and those characters can only see DDD!Wikipedia and such if someone from a different world posts a link.

For instance, Karen's Internet is a year behind most of the community, and also has no references anywhere to Pretty Cure. But when other people give her links, she can see pages that don't exist yet for her, and pages that will never exist at all in her world.

That's an interesting way of using it! Unfortunately, since Tyki is from a time before teh internets, I would think that would mean there are no pages at all XDDD Which would be no fun at all.

In that case he gets the DDD!Internet directly.

Yes, it does. Some characters have referred to it ICly as "Stalkerpedia" in fact XD

So far, no one's really used it for an advantage! :) I'm glad for that.
