GOI Format: The standard IJAMEA GOI-document is fairly simple, and takes the shape of a Operation Report. These reports are by no means the only form IJAMEA documentation can take, but are perhaps one of the easier ways to understand the GOI and the way it views the paranormal world.
An Operation Report consists of a military-style formal summary of an IJAMEA Operation, the project's methods, and its results. Such documents are titled after said project (e.g. "Operation Izanami", "Operation Dakki", etc.) and are formatted similarly to the example document below.
Operation [Name, typically a romanized Japanese word/phrase], [Year, when was the project carried out]
Purpose: [here you would describe the purpose of the the project, what it's goals are, how does it further the goals of the IJAMEA and Japan?]
Assets: [this section is a brief outline of which anomalies are involved with the project, and why they are being used in this context]
Results: [How did the project work out? Was it successful? If not, why? What ramifications do these results have on the future of the IJAMEA?]
IJAMEA documentation may occasionally by signed by the organization or individuals responsible (e.g. From the Desk of General Ito, Hashima Outpost), but this is not always the case.
A Note on Years: The year the project was carried out can be used as a quick indicator of the socio-historic context behind the project, as explained below.
| Years |
General Concepts |
| 1888-30 Jul 1912 (post-Restoration Meiji) |
IJAMEA is in its formative years, so general focus is on parascience and exploration of the paranormal |
| 30 Jul 1912-25 Dec 1926 (Taisho) |
IJAMEA is consolidating itself, with general focus in nationalism and establishing itself as an organization at home and abroad. |
| 25 Dec 1926-14 Aug 1945 (prewar Showa) |
IJAMEA is at war, thus general focus is full-scale military operations and dominance over Asia and the Pacific. |
| 14 Aug 1945-Present (i.e. postwar) |
IJAMEA is fragmented, so objectives may vary drastically by individual. One notable theme is the desire for any kind of victory – militarily or otherwise. |
These are general trends of the era that are part of the in-universe writer's life, but the complexities of human society and the role of the individual mean that these are not set in stone.
Other Nomenclature
- Go-: Meaning 'later' or 'the second'. Denotes a continuation or extrapolation of a previous IJAMEA Operation. Subsequent continuations and extrapolations are termed 'III', 'IV' etc. (or 'Sandaime', 'Yondaime' etc. in Japanese).
Page Theme: To use the custom IJAMEA CSS theme in your article, copy and paste the following module at the top of your article:
[[module CSS]]
@import url(/component:ijamea-theme/code/1);
[[/module]]
Regarding Hyperlinks: If you intend to use the custom IJAMEA CSS theme and make crosslinks in an article, you will realize that the text is black by default (and hence, any hyperlink is invisible). As seen in this page itself, a recommendation is to underline all hyperlinks made on pages that use the custom IJAMEA CSS theme. An example is as follows:
text SCP-2937 text
A.k.a.
text __[[[SCP-2937]]]__ text
