Editing RH101 Intro (section)

==OOC Information==
Reality Hacking 101 is a Lexicon Game to be played on the RPG.net Wiki.  The players will be scholars looking back on the first years of “reality hacking”—which happen to be now—from a perspective some years in the future.

[[Original_Lexicon_post|A copy of the article that introduced the Lexicon Game concept to the world is here.]]  This particular game, however, will include a few changes to those rules, primarily as experiments with the game form.  In particular, where prior games went through the alphabet in order, this game will go through the letters semi-randomly.  (Details below.) We will also be trying some additions and changes suggested by the group that ran [http://paranoia.allenvarney.com The Toothpaste Disaster] for their next game, as a trial run of sorts.

For now, the schedule is TBD.  Here is a preliminary turn schedule:

*'''Turn 0'''
**Create descriptions for your scholars
**Optionally: reserve up to 2 future entries, with optional ''short'' descriptions.

*'''Turns 1-3'''
**Reasonably common single letters—commonality to be determined by comparison with existing finished Lexica and other factors.

*'''Remaining turns'''
**Remaining letters—less common letters will be put into groups, similarly to telephone-pad grouped games.
**Optional: Later in the game, we may have ''subject''-specific turns, where entries can be anywhere in the alphabet, but the subject is constrained.  As examples:
***Personae turn—anywhere in the alphabet, but People only.
***Technique turn—for How-To-Reality-Hack entries only
***Event turn—for historical events only.
**Optional: Editing turn—allows you to edit, update or expand prior entries.  Again, this will be later in the game (possibly even the ''last'' turn), and will enable you to “tweak” prior entries to bring them more in line with what later entries have revealed.

*'''Overall:'''
**Reminder: First letter's entries reference 2 entries not yet created; second and subsequent letters reference one existing entry and two future entries.
**The Silver Runaways Incident will ''not'' be detailed (similarly to the Toothpaste Disaster in its eponymous Lexicon).  It may be indirectly referenced.
**Entries may reference relevant real-world articles—say, from Wikipedia—but please mark those references with an asterisk or similar sign.
**Each entry will be on its own separate page, with the title “RH101:(entry)” to preclude clashing with existing pages.
**Please IC-Sign (i.e., “sign” with your scholar-character's name) each entry, and include <nowiki>[[Category:RH101]]</nowiki> at the end to help keep things straight.
**Players may leave IC comments on prior entries at any time.  Note that while the entries themselves are considered to be incontestable (by Lexicon rules), comments are not—they are considered to be opinions.
**For OOC questions/comments/et cetera, send a PM to Knockwood.
