Howdy!
My name is Uncle Nicolini, and I love Groups of Interest, or GoIs. My author avatar, Dr. Everwood, is a GoI Researcher, my pet Site (Site-55!) is a GoI communications hub, and I have, at time of writing, written the most GoI formats out of anyone on the site. So it should go without saying that I probably know a lot about them.
I know a lot of people view GoIs as nothing more than a vehicle by which to deliver anomalies to the Foundation, so I decided to write this series of essays to help encourage people to explore them a little more beyond that. There's a world of depth hiding out there in most of these GoIs, and even the shallow ones have a lot room to explore in.
So let's dive right in, shall we?
- GoI Field Guide - This massive essay is unofficially the start of the series. It contains at least some information on 99% of the site's GoIs to some degree or another. It's a little outdated and doesn't go into as much detail as I would have wanted to, but it's still a good jumping off point if you're at all interested in Groups of Interest.
- GoIs and You: The Most Misrepresented (dado and Gamers Against Weed) - An essay covering the two most misrepresented and misunderstood Groups of Interest on the wiki; dado and GAW.
- GoIs and You: The Real Adventures in Crapitalism, or, Alignment Chart Nonsense - An essay covering the three GoIs that love capitalism the most; Wondertainment, the Factory, and MC&D.
- GoIs and You: What the Fuck Is An Alexylva? - An essay covering one of the more mysterious, least developed GoIs on the wiki; Alexylva University.
- GoIs and You: Government Alphabet Soup - Coming soon…
