Ok I planing to start a mapping page on the wiki that will try and follow the different sages by name around to track their movement habits.  If any one is interested in helping me in this task you are very welcome to do so.  I think what needs to be done first is start collecting sightings of sages such as this one.

"You have encountered a sage, a wise man, known as Emtorkin. People say he is brave. It is rumoured by many that he has magical powers. He and his kind are the only people capable of repairing and sometimes even improving unique items.

Since you do not have any damaged unique items, the sage can not offer you any repairs."

He is in Sabadell.  also include the current date which is 9 - 28 -11 this will greatly help sort out duplicate posting and help organize the sightings. 



So if you wish you could post sightings like this. 

"You have encountered a sage, a wise man, known as Emtorkin. People say he is brave. It is rumoured by many that he has magical powers. He and his kind are the only people capable of repairing and sometimes even improving unique items.

Sage - Emtorkin 
Island - Dwilight
Region - Sabadell
Realm - Astrum
Time - 9-28-11

Once we get a good amount of information on a few sages we can then start making maps of their travels and hopefully find a pattern of some kind that each one follows.

I would recomend setting this up using semantic templates, like Unique Items. This would make it easier to later organise and filter the data. I might have a play around later on and see what I can come up with. It would be nice to automatically map spottings of the sages, but last time I tried that with the wiki it was not very successful.

[Stien Family]

Oh it would be nice to be able to auto-map the sages.  But that is not really my goal here.  i am trying to find a pattern of movement in the individual sages on each Island.  and put that information in the wiki in a easy t
o understand format. 

I was thinking of using the maps of each island and having each sage with his or her own icon and a color.  then using the information given us on each Island we make a trail of the color bar and the sages Icon showing where he has been.  If it then makes a circle or pattern of some sort we should be able determine the region an d location of certain sages any time of the week.  Correcting errors of predictions as we go along and learn more of their movement habits.

[De-Legro]

I may be mistaken, but I believe the movement is somewhat random. It should be impossible to accurately predict their location given a date.

[Tom]

Prediction is certainly going to be a challenge.

If you use semantic data on the wiki, it could automatically create a timeline for you, which may be useful for answering questions such as "how long does he typically stay in a region?" or "how fast or slow does he travel?".

[Stien Family]

perhaps prediction was not the correct word to use.  I was hoping that though random there may become a type of es would pattern show up for each sage or even wizards. 

Perhaps it will create some sort a personality traits of some sages such as Sage who never crosses a river or climbs mountains.  could be a good source for RP's and could also not actually happen either.

No, random means random.  No patterns.

[Stien Family]

yes yes random is random we know this but you never know if randomness is going to have a crazyness to it or in some cases a kind of pattern of sorts.

[Anaris]

yes yes random is random we know this but you never know if randomness is going to have a crazyness to it or in some cases a kind of pattern of sorts.

No, no, random is random, and it will not have patterns.  I guarantee you this, 100%.  This isn't some kind of chaos-theory thing where a higher order will emerge out of the chaos.  This is just plain old vanilla randomness.

That means that you can never predict where a sage or wizard is going to go next.  No matter how much data you have amassed on where it's been before.

[cenrae]

Will you track wizards as well? if so I have some limited info on one of them.

You hear rumours that Jahoren passed through here recently(3-4 days ago). Eidulb Outskirts (Astrumn )
Jahoren was seen in Knyazes 12 days ago and Golden Farrow before that.

I will definatly help track any sages/wizards I find.

[Stien Family]

Yes wizards also. 

And I have made a start at a wiki page as well it is titled Sage Finder.  I am working on how to store the information on the wiki now anyone that wants to help with the wiki page is more than welcome to do so. 

Just out curiosity I was wondering if I should make similar post of this thread on each Island page in this forum this would make the gathering of information separation process easier I think any comments on that would also be helpful.
