I shall explain how to update the Index.

1. It is important to understand, that the Index is, in fact, a bundle of indexes, thanks to Wikidots 2 Million Character Limit. So, to create a corner for an entirely new branch, an entirely new site has to be created and implemented into the Index hub. For that, just copy the syntax from another implementation in the hub.

2. A new Goi tab can simply be copypasted and changed accordingly. That is self-explaining.

3. When adding a group, keep in mind that a table only shows the attitude of a GoI towards another one, not how other groups react to it.

4. After 3. is done, the offsets need to be actualized and resorted to fit in the character limit. I had to create a fourth in the last update, which is, like the others, linked with the other offsets to create a chain of databases to search through. The entries are all sorted like the GoIs in the relation tables for easier location. KEEP IT THAT WAY! Like the tables, every block has now to be updated, but watch out when you have to switch from text to no text. The turning point comes when the target GoI is referenced with itself. Important here is, that the relation is to be illustrated for both sides. If you want to relocate a block to another offset, mark it in one swoop from [tr] to [/tr] and cut it out.

Afterward, don‘t forget to update the abbreviation table. It is also alphabetically sorted, ALSO KEEP IT THAT WAY!
I am open for suggestions to simplify this mess.

About the Name of 酩酊街 (Meiteigai, Drunken Street)

fumeinadebaisu 18 Jun 2018 02:38

The name being used for 酩酊街 in rev. 9 (now) of goi-jp is Drunken Street, but the term 酩酊 refers to an act, a phenomenon or a state of being intoxicated, rather than those who are intoxicated. It should be "Street/Avenue/Town/City/District/Quarter/Downtown of Intoxication" in word-for-word translation.

(And the phrase "drunekn street" is potentially problematic corpus-wise, by the way.)

Given that it was news to most JP branch users' ears (as far as I know), I respectfully make another suggestion for translation. Since I want to give it a feel of cutesy and tones of early quiet, hearty and nostalgic articles, I've devised a phrase "Tipsie Avenue." How about it?

---

I'm aware that tinge of words and feelings or/and sensation that one wants to convey via certain wordings can always call in argument, and are hard to come to common consent. I'm keen to hear from native speakers about rhythm and nuance of the phrase.

If you want to get a bit more familiar with touch and feel of the GoI, I've just finished my draft for translation of a tale centering on it, and will post it soon, so wait a minute.

Dr Ore 18 Jun 2018 10:22

I asked several members of the JP branch about that GoI since there is no hub for it, and not a single one expressed its dislike towards the translation, some even using it itself.

Would I implement your suggestion, it would mean several days of work for me, since the GoIs place in the alphabetical order would change and would have to be accomodated in every single GoI entry and the offsets.

As a compromise, I propose the translation "Drunkness Street", since that would be a change I could implement within an hour.

If my displayed information is inaccurate, you are free and even encouraged by me to change it to display the nature of the GoI better.

"Drunkness Street"

That sounds nice enough; indeed, it's much better than mine in regard of being less pompous.

P.S. This GoI index has been highly appreciated in the JP community since its creation. Great work!

Your praise is appreciated. I did change the Index accordingly.

I normally do that myself, because others tend to forget to keep the tables up to date.

Err… Are you sure about the Prometheus Labs and Alexylvia University thing? The company went bankrupt in 1998 and the university is only partially aware of our universe even existing.

About the Alexylvia University and Prometheus Labs, I am sure that I did not look at the goi settings carefully. I will delete this part.

thank you for answer.

Although it does not care if the goods are broken or not upon arrival.

This part is not completely correct.

The setting is in funny GpExpress , it does not care if the goods are broken or not upon arrival.

But , in serious setting , Gpexpress will protect the goods from the least damage possible, and will continue to deliver the goods even if the employee sacrifices.

Will be addressed in the next update, but feel free to correct false information if you see it.

About the abbreviation called RIDIA

MrSato 30 Jun 2019 12:19

Why is the abbreviations of "ROYAL INSTITVTE OF ITALIAN ANOMALIES" not "RIOIA" but "RIDIA"?

Re: About the abbreviation called RIDIA

Dr Ore 02 Jul 2019 05:40

This stems from the abrevation mostly used by the italians, which is more characteristic for this institute. If you search around, you will find more examples.

MrSato 03 Jul 2019 08:11

Oh, I see. Sorry.

About the translation of 酩酊街

vomiter 06 Aug 2019 06:39

It’s currently Drunkness Street. But as the overview mentioned it’s a residential district, I feel “town” is a better term than street, how do you think?

Having talked with Japanese members, I will use Drunkness Street as the translation.
