I see that nobody rewritte the Staff of Hermes. I was wondering if there would be no problem if I tried. It would take me a while but I would not mind receiving some help.
I think you should go for it. It's a key item we're known for and we've gone long enough without it. Just be sure to reserve the rewrite on our Friendly Checklist for Items.
That is strange.
I thought the staff was pushed on-hold.
Might have been a while, but corrosion tale is still a thing.
I have held back on the matter of the staff, but this piece is very connected to that puzzle.
Yorick, how about we make this a co-op project?

As i said, i have no problem receiving help. Also taking into account how many corrections my last article had i will need someone to be there to lend a hand.
Helping out with a draft and co-op writing are two different things for me.
I would not claim credit for a piece where i just helped, without rewriting +50% of the script.
That is what allowed me to up-vote your item, because it was good and i had not written it.
When i write in co-op, i claim partial ownership. This means that i can not up-vote it.
This is the tread-off for creative control over a piece.
I can not expect you to know how the staff ties into my sandbox stories, but if i want the staff tied in (which i need for that whole sandbox to make sense in later publishing) i have to do that myself.
This means that i would write larger portions of the item, for which i would than claim ownership, excluding me from voting on it.
There is a third option, which would be you writing the item (i don't claim partial ownership), and i would later write supplementary pieces that would not be part of the main article.
My concerns are mostly with voting and compatibility, to the old original item and tales as well as to my own works.

I have no problem with a co-op project. But it would help me if you would give me a preview of the ideas you have in mind. You can send me a private message with the information and I would do the same.
At once i can say that i am not good at the technical details, but I think i can handle the background story.
My suggestion would be to write in the sandbox, not in PMs.
I have set up some tabs in the corrosion tale window.
Be my guest.
No need for a full new sandbox, i think.
I will most likely not have much up at first, but there is no reason for you not to start.
I have some stuff that needs work before i will set up some parts of the staff.
