| abstract | - Okay you guys, our first mission together is to reference/improve/expand (if possible) the historic timeline. While the DoD is re-designing it, we'll discuss what's going on it. Firstly, I think we all should go do some digging to find some information that could go on the historic timeline that we don't already have. Agreed? 03:26,7/22/2012 That, and we need to reference a few of the dates. That's what I wanted to do second my dear. :) 03:31,7/22/2012 We can do both; the reference part we can pick up along as we scavenge for other missing details. Sounds good to Jak. 03:35,7/22/2012 Yeah, this all sounds good to me... am I meant to say anything else here?? I really don't care, just tell me what you want me to do and I'll get on it :) 10:12, July 22, 2012 (UTC) I guess the first thing we should do is to go digging and list all our results here on this talk page. This team is a bit...awkward to say the last so it's hard to really decide how to go about doing work. 00:47,7/23/2012 What I've done for things like this is have a particular goal set for the members, which is gathering and referencing information for the Historical Timeline in this case, and we each gather what we find from the other arcs. Currently, there's 11 arcs (including post-timeskip, excluding anime-only). What I think can work is if we assign a member a particular arc or two to gather information from and add it to the Historical Timeline. This idea won't work well when we're starting the other particular arcs, but for the historical events I think it can work. Great idea! I'll come back and discuss this more in about an hour when I get back. 01:01,7/23/2012 how about we do this instead:
* we begin with the first arc, Macao arc
* One member gets chapter 1, another ch2, another ch3, another ep1 and the last one gets ep2.
* each does their thing for the Macao arc timeline
* if they find any historic date/event, they added to a separate page
* we continue with Daybreak arc timeline
* by the end of all the arcs we should also have the historic timeline content
* we make historic timeline 01:51, July 23, 2012 (UTC) I like the idea but having each member do one chapter at a time and all would just take a lot of time. If we do arcs, things can get done much faster. That was just for the first arc as it's only 3 chapters, but when it gets to longer arcs we can divide them like 10 chapters each one 01:59, July 23, 2012 (UTC) That sounds good, but for the really short arcs, they can be completed entirely by just one member. Having all these users working on one chapter each for such a small arc wouldn't be very progressive; for the bigger arcs, it's understandable, but in ones that have 5 or less chapters that's a bit ridiculous. Agreed. But as Glass said, small arcs should=one person. And we can do your idea for the larger arcs, splitting them up by 10s or so. 02:16,7/23/2012 OK so small arcs would be Macao arc, Daybreak arc, Loke arc, Daphne arc and maybe Lullaby arc. 02:18, July 23, 2012 (UTC) Lullaby was 14 chaps and 6 eps. It can be a group effort. 02:21,7/23/2012 What about x791 arc? That's... really small too. good. then we have 5 small arcs so that means that each one of us will get one. I pick Loke arc! 02:25, July 23, 2012 (UTC) Macao arc. Daybreak arc. Yummy get's Daphne by default since she's an anime whore. :) 02:30,7/23/2012 So that leaves Red with the Lullaby arc. Perfect! Now, while I take a shower, shouldn't we all be getting started? Yeah we will, though I still have other duties to attend to. >_> 02:37,7/23/2012 so how are we gonna do this? I'm not sure how >_> 16:03, July 24, 2012 (UTC) List all the events that occurred in the arc you're working on from the very first to the last, chronologically ordered from the dates and times (if possible, since I know Mashima's a bit rough on the particular dates). When you're done listing things, organize what you have here. If you're able to find anything that relates to the Historical Timeline whatsoever, also write it here. Since we're doing this method, it seems alright. So, here's what I summarized on the first chapter of the Macao arc:
* July 1, X784: Lucy Heartfilia turns 17.
* July 2, X784: Meeting at Hargeon Town: Day:
* Natsu and Happy journey to Hargeon Town in search of the Dragon, Igneel.
* Lucy purchases the Gate of the Canis Minor Key.
* Lucy encounters a man named "Salamander" and is effected by his use of Charm.
* Lucy meets Natsu and Happy.
* Lucy is invited to attend a yacht party by "Salamander".
* July 2, X784: Meeting at Hargeon Town: Night:
* Natsu Dragneel, Lucy Heartfilia & Happy vs. Bora.
* July 3, X784: Day:
* Lucy Heartfilia joins Fairy Tail.
* July 3, X784: Night:
* Lucy becomes a member of Fairy Tail.
* Natsu, Lucy, and Happy go to Mt. Hakobe to rescue Macao.
* Natsu Dragneel & Lucy Heartfilia vs. Vulcan (Macao Conbolt).
* July 4, X784:
* Macao is returned to his son. And here's what I got for the Historical Timeline:
* July 1, X767:
* Lucy Heartfilia is born.
* Several Years Before X784:
* The use of Charm Magic was banned.
* The anime apparently is more specific and says that it was 4 years prior, making it X780.
* June 27, X784:
* Macao leaves for a Job on Mt. Hakobe. And here are the references: Stuff like the events and fights shouldn't go into detail, unless they take up a large amount of time like with the Meeting at Hargeon Town event, so it's best to just leave a link to them most of the time. Also, I don't think it's necessary to reference every statement on the specific arcs unless it's not something you can tell just by reading. On another note about this arc, there seems to be a time confusion in the days between July 3-4. At the end of Chapter 3, there's a statement that says it's July 4 and that it's been a sunny, then snowstormed, and then sunny day. That's indicating that the whole saving Macao part was done in an entire day. However, at the end of Chapter 2, it was shown briefly that it was nighttime, which somewhat contradicts what's found in Chapter 3. Looks good, agreed, and go with Chap 3's statement. 18:44,7/31/2012 I only got the following for X791 Arc ._. : X785
* Macao becomes the fourth Fairy Tail guild master.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 256, Page 1
* Alzack and Bisca Connell got married.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 256, Page 6
* Asuka Connell is born.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 256, Pages 5-6 March X791
* Jude Heartfilia dies.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 256, Page 21 (One month ago after Tenrou team’s return and that month is April, so it would technically be March) And I think just two are alright to be inserted in historical timeline: X785
* Asuka Connell is born.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 256, Pages 5-6 March X791
* Jude Heartfilia dies.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 256, Page 21 (One month ago after Tenrou team’s return and that month is April, so it would technically be March) I guess i'll look for more. But as of now, this is all. Okay. Firstly, thank you Jak *punches Jak* for leaving me with the worst and most annoying arc ever. Anyways, I hardly found anything, mostly because whenever a flashback or thing that could be historic started, all they said was "back then" or "at that time". It was really really annoying >:( Well, this is what I got. Also, they never gave an exact date to these, so they occur at some time. We know for sure that these events occurred between Oct. 15th (the day of the Harvest Festival) and December 15th (the day the S-Class Exam starts) Oct 15th - Dec 15th X784
* Daphne travels to Magnolia to investigate Natsu's past and recruits Gray (three days before Wendy joins Fairy Tail) [Episode 70]
* Wendy joins Fairy Tail [Episode 69] [Chapter 165]
* Gildarts arrives back at the guild after failing the 100 year quest ("several" days after Wendy joins Fairy Tail) [Chapter 165, Page 16]
* Wendy and Natsu go to find Daphne, and all the events in the Daphne arc occur on this day (one week after Wendy joins Fairy Tail) [Episode 69-72] Now, the characters never gave an exact date, they always just said "one week ago" or "ten days ago", so I can't actually work out when these things specifically occur. I tried to check the manga for something, like the day Wendy joined, but nothing came up. However, many of the things surrounding these events may be sorted when we do the OS arc. We may also be able to confirm that the events in the OS arc take place in the three days between when Gray and Daphne meet and when Wendy joins Fairy Tail - from memory, the Light Team only takes a day to defeat Nirvana. From my manga checking, it was also stated that "several days later" (after the Light Teams return and Wendy's acceptance into FT) Gildarts arrived. Now, I don't think "several days" would be more than a week, so I'm assuming he arrived before the events of the Daphne arc, however, he didn't appear in the anime (he appears some time later after the events of the Daphne arc). You see now why this arc is so stupid?? Whatever, we can debate it later I guess. Anyways, hopefully this is okay >.<" I'm sorry it sucks, but there was seriously no proper date drops (probably because the animators wanted to avoid screwing something up). And I demand a better arc next time~! Grrrrrr~! 08:49, September 4, 2012 (UTC) 20:05, September 4, 2012 (UTC) Everyone, when creating your timelines, please do them like this. 21:44, September 7, 2012 (UTC) Daybreak arc Nothing in this arc was dated.
* Day ?
* Lucy makes a contract with Nikora.
* Natsu, Lucy and Happy form a team.
* Day ?
* Team Natsu arrives in Shirotsume Town.
* Team Natsu meets Kaby Melon and his wife.
* Infiltration of Everlue Mansion.
* Natsu Dragneel vs. Virgo and Everlue's Maids
* Natsu Dragneel vs. The Vanish Brothers
* Lucy Heartfilia & Happy vs. Duke Everlue
* Lucy Heartfilia & Natsu Dragneel vs. Duke Everlue
* DAYBREAK's Revelation Historical
* X750: Duke Everlue forces Zekua Melon to write Daybreak
* X753: Zekua Melon finishes writing Daybreak and returns to his family.
* Zekua Melon commits suicide. This is all I could find. :P 23:54,10/16/2012 Looks good though just 2 questions. 1.
* So from the looks of it, all of the events that occurred happened in one day? 2.
* Zekua's death. It's stated to be "right after" he returned home so I'd assume he died in the X753. Though the online scanlations I'm checking could be wrong so did it look like there was anything different stated?
* No, from what I could tell, it was two days.
* I didn't put a date in front of his suicide because it was still categorized under the "X753" category. But yes, you're right. It happened very soon after he returned home. 03:57,10/17/2012 Great. I'll finish things up maybe tomorrow morning.
