Since we are writing down this information, what is the geography? I understand there is Legionnopolis, whose streets are named after Legion workers but we've created a number of locations over the years.

Emily, there is the category Legion World locations that includes geography. There is a lot that has been written, but I think the people who have had more of a hand in creating particular locations, etc. should have the first crack at creating the relevant articles. This wiki will be a work in progress for some time.

Yea, I'm sure posters not around much right now who have been major contributors (Cru, etc), would prefer to get the chance to add their locations. We must have something like 200+ LW businesses.
LW is a planet so remember there are oceans, jungles, etc. Beyond Legionopolis there are towns, and quite a lot of LW is farmland uses to feed the population (LW is self sustaining, as seen in the Triumvirate history and Price of Security).
Legionopolis in theory is the size of Boston to Washington DC. The room for additions is endless.
I know Embassy Row intersects with Statue Way.
Founders Park is in the middle (like Central Park).
The LMBs quarters are at Levitz Plaza, which is in Weisenger Square I believe (has it's own thread).

Outside of Legionopolis, there is another city called Britonopolis, which is the home to allied team, the Primary Color Gang.
For those that are interested, I've just finished up the last of the "Red" entries for that team and now just have the three big character articles left to do (Yellow Kid, Gay Green Giant, and Kid Blackout).
I've still got to fill out the history section of the page, but I think it's looking pretty spiffy.

Cobie, that's why the "Legion World" and "Legion of Message Board Posters" are more or less placeholders now. Even though I've been a part of the community for 5 1/2 years now, I think they should be filled in by folks with even more history with the group.

Ex, there are enough PCG articles to warrant their own category. Should they be classified as a subcategory within "Legion of Message Board Posters allies"?

Rocky, I had made a category a few days back called "Primary Color Gang members". The difficulty with sub-classifying it under "Legion of Message Board Posters allies" is that not all members are allies. Some are adversaries, and some never even met the LMB.
The way I've been handling it is just putting multiple category tags on each article. They all have the "Primary Color Gang members" tag, and then another for whatever level of relationship they have to the LMB: allies, adversaries, or none... and then LW resident tag if that's applicable as well.
Actually, though, on the subject of categories, I was going to suggest a new one for "deceased individuals". Reading through Lardy and EDE's articles it seems there are enough of those to warrant a classification. Thoughts?

Sounds good on the PCG end. I guess I've overlooked the category tag on the articles I've seen. You're doing a great job and I know Yellow Kid would be happy his characters are a part of this.
I think "Deceased characters" is probably the best name for the category for characters who have died in-story. I've gone ahead and started it, with Openly Gay Lad the first character listed in it.

From the article:
quote:Pornis has been heard from only infrequently since the Great Migration that led the LMBP to Legion World, and it is not clear whether he has simply been causing mischief in other parts of the universe, or whether he is simply biding his time, attempting to rebuild his power.
*Heh-heh* Cobie and I have a good idea about what he's been up to...
Also, in my "Turning Point" saga, it was suggested that Pornis and the One are personifications/Gods of Chaos and Order, respectively. It may or may not be true but would be an interesting bit to add to the article.
Plus, there've been some inconcistencies in Pornis's portrayal, between him being the giant Phallus you describe who can't talk and being a more humanoid figure who can. I realize this is caused by having mutliple voices in the tags, but is it possible he can manifest in two diiferent forms to explain the apparent inconsistencies? Or might there be a false Pornis between the two of them?

Yeah, I can add the chaos/order stuff. I didn't realize he'd been portrayed as humanoid. I found some stuff where he was talking, though I just figured we could translate "Pornis said" into "Pornis said, via Khan E. Lingus" or something. But I actually like the idea that he can sometimes manifest himself in humanoid form, so I'll add that.

I know this doesn't necessarily contradict what I'm about to inquire about, but is or is not Legion World an artificial planet? I know the inspiration for it (the reboot's Legion World) was, and I've always assumed this one is, too. I know, during Thyme Crime, Yellow Kid wrote an excellent account (which I dearly loved) of how Legion World began as a repurposed War World from DC continuity. Now, the oceans, jungles and everything can be explained as really advanced technological breakthroughs in artificial terraforming...or maybe even some of LW's magic users transformed it into 100% real at some point. There are any number of explanations, really. But I'd like to know: did or didn't LW at least begin as an artificial world?

It would be even CRAZIER if we hadn't ever really met the REAL Pornis to this point, huh?!?!
