Title: Guide Post by: V on September 21, 2011, 06:28:53 PM I have always thought it would be too difficult to write a guide because there is so much information, from years of playing, in my head.
However, today I realized that if I just did a step-by-step without explanations then perhaps I could just give new players enough info to keep them around long enough to figure out the rest/explanations via exposure... So, if you guys are for it, I'll draw one up... watcha think? ---Wes Title: Re: Guide Post by: Comatose on September 21, 2011, 06:51:19 PM I like the idea, and this is exactly the sort of stuff people should be contributing to the community. One of the main reasons that new players don't stay around, is they don't know what the hell to do.
Although it would be nice to see a collaboration guide from a bunch of the top players in the game (That way, you could bring in multiple view points, and go into more detail as well, with the extra help), this is a great start, and if you do follow through with this you should be commended. I voted yes, everyone else should do the same. You know, click the top option. Title: Re: Guide Post by: V on September 21, 2011, 07:03:26 PM I have no problem with a collaborative effort. Once I write the basic outline I have in mind, I will post it in the forums for people to add to it.

First piece of help: It should be "learning curve" in the poll title rather than "learning curb" ) Title: Re: Guide Post by: Comatose on September 22, 2011, 03:15:25 PM I will add what little I know...Hope others will too.
Will this be for SO MAIN, or will it include one for other servers as well? Title: Re: Guide Post by: V on September 22, 2011, 07:21:59 PM I'll start with main and go from there... I rly only know main and Elite well, so if we branch past that, I'd need others to help...
However, I was going to try to write it today but had some RL stuff come up I had to take care of first. But it will come soon enough. My Word. Title: Re: Guide Post by: Comatose on September 22, 2011, 07:31:59 PM When it comes to WARS, DarkChaos, Cam, and I can help you out easily with that, although we are anticipating a bit of an upgrade... XD
Real life always comes first, dude. Title: Re: Guide Post by: Cameron07 on September 22, 2011, 08:41:50 PM quit volunteering me for stuff.. I refuse.. Middy made one back in the day.. I assume some of it is still relevant.. I have it if anyone would like to read it and update it.. Would be easier than creating a whole new one
Title: Re: Guide Post by: V on September 22, 2011, 09:13:08 PM is that for WARS or main, cam?
Title: Re: Guide Post by: Cameron07 on September 22, 2011, 09:53:56 PM main
Title: Re: Guide Post by: V on September 22, 2011, 11:43:13 PM lol who voted no?
Title: Re: Guide Post by: FTP on September 23, 2011, 06:36:45 AM I voted yes..... giving you work to do sounds good ^^
Title: Re: Guide Post by: Fester on September 23, 2011, 08:26:20 AM Title: Re: Guide Post by: V on September 23, 2011, 01:39:14 PM was probably hk... :D
Title: Re: Guide Post by: clouthour on September 23, 2011, 01:42:57 PM sry clicked the wrong one Title: Re: Guide Post by: Cpt. Relentless on October 28, 2011, 08:24:13 PM I know nobody has touched this thread in a month or so but Borg already has a condensed guide on the forums for main, I guess if you just simplified it a bit so it's easier for newer players to understand then that's work :)
Title: Re: Guide Post by: V on October 29, 2011, 04:22:13 PM yeah i finished it actually. it is like 8 pages single spaces with 8 point font...
so i was going to condense it. but then something happened and now my MS Word says it needs to be varified or something weird and now it says all my word docs are corrupted :( grrrrrr computers Title: Re: Guide Post by: Cpt. Relentless on October 29, 2011, 06:50:45 PM LOL that sucks ass..
