Editing Signal Cartel Expedition TripTiks (section)

== How Do I Help Create Them? ==
Planning a TripTik is a great way to leverage your wanderings into something material that embodies both the spirit of exploration and community service. They are provided as a free service to the community but you might earn extra ISK if people like your TripTiks well enough to tip you in appreciation.

=== Who Can Participate? ===
Any Signal Cartel member may participate; all Signaleers are encouraged to submit TripTiks for publication. Those who do are referred to as Expedition Researchers. However, don’t feel like you have to do all of the work yourself.  We encourage Signaleers to work together in teams as these do take a fair amount of work.

=== TripTik Requirements ===
In order for a TripTik to be published, the following requirements need to be met:
* Expedition Title - Fun, punchy, 25 characters or less
* 1 to 10 waypoints. Requirements for each waypoint are as follows:
** At least one thing of interest to see
** In-game shareable bookmark only if there is not a beacon. If the Site that you are working on has some sort of beacon there isn't a need to include a bookmark. Please make sure and include that info "Warp to the beacon" in your TT!
** Screenshot(s) without GUI (files appropriately named and described)
* Substantive Expedition Highlights details OR brief highlights for each waypoint including short navigation hints to referenced sites and any reference links
* Expedition Researcher(s) – Lead Researcher and their team members should be listed in the final submission
* Spell-checked and edited before submission

=== Tips from Mynxee ===
TripTiks should focus on the why, what, and how of the included sites/locations, presented in a logical flow:

* WHY would someone want to visit this site? It could be because of the related lore, in-game history, compelling visuals, or other reason. This is generally handled in the first paragraph or so.
* WHAT will prospective visitors see when they get there? Briefly describe the physical location and other pertinent details so that prospective visitors can visualize them and have an idea what to expect when they arrive.
* HOW should visitors explore the site? In some cases, there is just one thing to see…a monument or something. In other cases, there maybe several things to see in a site…the TripTik should "take the visitor on a tour" of the site's individual elements with brief descriptions. Even in the case of a single element site like a monument, it's worth encouraging the visitor to view it from various angles, for example, to see what is visible in the background, or notice how the light hits it, etc. People are not always inquisitive, but the TripTik can help them be more so and in the process enjoy more fully the beauty of what exists in New Eden.
* "TripTiks focus on details ABOUT a site, not personal details or experiences..."  TripTiks will mostly be read by capsuleers outside of Signal Cartel. Therefore, no one will have any idea what your personal stories or made up "lore" is about and it will be extraneous and confusing to them - so please don't include this type of stuff.
