The wiki documents my findings and observations attempting to condense World Info (WI) entries down as compact as possible, down to the last character. This is a fork of the Futureman format, but has deviated away from it more and more each day.

What do you need?

  • This format, like Futureman, is designed to work with EWIJSON.
    • New here? What the heck is EWIJSON?! It's a script that provide more control over how AID uses WIs. Normally, AID puts a triggered WI up at the very top (hidden to viewer), but EWI lets you place it anywhere. Because of distance weakening (the higher up something is, the weaker its importance to the AI's writing direction), combined with concepts that are inherently weak already (unusual fantasy races, weird behaviors, concepts the AI doesn't understand well), EWI is a useful tool to move these down lower to counter this problem.
  • Time. This format is tedious and time consuming. You'll need to have a token viewer handy, like this one. There are others out there. Ask around on the discord for other options.
  • For your consideration, I primarily play in 3rd person mode, and only using story input (as opposed to Do or Say input).

Strengths and Weaknesses

  • It's primary strength, as the name suggests, is reducing WIs to as few characters as possible. This allows more characters to be reserved for the actual story content instead, and/or being able to trigger more WIs without overwhelming the memory.
  • This format does not make any promises on being the most accurate or strongest of the formats. There is some expectation that you will need to occasionally reroll an output, but not so much as to frustrate the player into giving up on a concept.
  • Due to its nature (explained later), this format is unlikely to work well on anything other than dragon. I do not use griffin enough to comment on how well it compares to other formats.
