BTW, if there are any motivated Infected Paw fans out there ... I started a project, got busy, and will (maybe) one-day restart it ... but IRL I'm super busy ATM, so if anyone wants to help ...
http://wiki.project1999.com/Infected_Paw
The idea was basically to take everything in this thread to create a wiki page that's half a standard zone wiki page (for all the stuff we're certain of) and half is just a good summary of the research data from this thread (for everything else). I thought about splitting them into two pages, and maybe that will happen later, but right now there's not enough stuff to bother.
The way I see it,
someday we'll see Infected Paw here right? When we do, we'll want a wiki page, so partly this is just an early start on that. But also I figured it would be a lot handier if all the researchers (and I'd imagine Nilbog too) could see all of the research data in one carefully "curated" page, rather than in its current form (spread randomly across a bunch of forum posts).
So who knows, maybe helping build this page will make Infected Paw come faster, by organizing the data better for our beloved dev supreme? And even if not, at least it helps build the future wiki page for when the zone goes live. Either way: who wants to help?
