I think it would be best to keep within a certain theme or genre. I see lots of people suggesting Assassins Creed, Skyrim, SWTOR etc but those are very general and will open to people wanting all their favourite games and before you know it this wiki will be overloaded with crap from every game there is.

This being said I would suggest one of the following in no specific order:


 * 1) Stick to the POTC franchise and include fanon for everything related to it: the movies, the books, POTCO, the various PC games (including LEGO), the various mobile games and so fourth. This of course means going beyond the "game" sphere, so that needs to be considered. Alternatively, you can stick to all the games I mentioned only.
 * 2) You incorporate any game with the theme of piracy (the Golden Age of Piracy that is, we do not play Somalian Pirate games). This would then include all the POTC games mentioned above (minus, perhaps, the mobile ones or minor ones that are rarely played) and games such as POTBS (which many users play anyway), and all the many many others (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Video_games_about_pirates).
 * 3) You could incorporate MMORPG games of the user-bases choosing as we all play similar MMOs. This would include POTBS, SWTOR and so on and at least this would make sense despite the games being of different genres.
 * 4) Ignore me and do random games

Unless you chose my first suggestion, this will necessitate a change of the wikis name to something more appropriate, but this will not be the only necessary change.

A change of this degree is going to require more organization than a simple vote and then hundreds of new pages being created. The category system will need a complete overhaul and each page should either be categorized under its respective game or the page should have a category under that falls under the category of said game.

If this is successful, activity should increase on the wiki and so should the content, which means management will need to increase which is no easy task. Now, all you bozos who have been dreaming of promotions since the day you got here do not get too excited about what I am going to say next. The amount of rollbacks, chat mods and admins will need to increase but very slowly. To be honest, there are so few people still active here that if you pick you the best among them you will be settling for the best of a bad situation (and I do not mean to offend anyone but it is the truth). Yes, the current users have the experience but let them rather prove themselves in the coming months. Let them show their true colours when activity increases. You do not want drama when the wiki is going through a transformation and we are trying to get new faces to join and old faces to return.

If you do not want to listen to me at all then at least do these three things for me:
 * 1) Do not allow Jim Logan to incorporate the Metal Gear Solid series onto this wiki. It is an abomination to gaming.
 * 2) Do not allow Pearson to return in the act of good faith in the transformation.
 * 3) Do not allow for this wiki to become so full and vague that it becomes purposeless.
