Well will you support and organize such competition Solar? All it takes is one post in news forum and at blog to make it official. Set your own rewards (but make them worth it) and some basic rules and lets make it happen!

There is no word about language, that I should write an article. As I know, there are 2 official languages - Russian and English. Can I write a guide in Russian, or thre are planes of same competition for russian-languaged players ? thnx.

The only official language of 2238 is english.
But it wouldn't hurt to have some guides in other languages. :)

i just want to make a notice about people being noobs themselves and writing guides for other noobs pretending they are pros. One dude made Klamath mine unguarded, and didint even mentioned Redding mine, other dude just copy/pasted from him same shit in his own guide. One dude found out that railroad gang members have 10mm pistols not 10mm smgs. People are mentioning quests which gives you 70 exp and 30 exp as good quests... Ncr noob doesnt even know that for brahmin crap cleaned in ncr or hub you get 10 caps not 5 caps. Some other guides sound like "download game, install it, create character, go pro". Many info is copy/pasted from topics made by devs like: http://fodev.net/forum/index.php?topic=4.0 or http://fodev.net/forum/index.php?topic=268.0 . (And the winners guide will be made sticky or something, so whats the point of making sticky, if same info is given in another sticky topic made by devs?).  Seriously, i dont mind people getting power armor or anything, but you should get those items for your knowledge lessons of the game, not for random bullshit typed with mistakes.

You noticed the copy/paste of the false infos, too eh?

Do people get points for content? Or just formatting? Cause I could make a PDF file that would knock everyone's socks off, but I've not played long enough to give a newbie guide.

I will say, however, that none of the guides so far told me anything I hadn't already known, unless said information was wrong.

Vedaras, we perfectly know what are the flaws of each guides, and also the ones that are made of copy/pastes. Let the people post bad guide, it isn't forbidden.

Where should we submit a guide once it is complete?

I saw your post, I had to LOL really hard. Hilarious.  8) Too bad they removed it, don't know why, it was not offensive to anyone.
