best guides already writen long times ago, and noone want reveal their secrets. why needed topic for copy+pastWiki and plagiarism old guides? just give rewards people, who write and update his own old guides)
Are these guides going to be strictly GM/Dev judged or are the players going to judge as well?
Veteran players should judge guides since GM/Devs don't know jack shit about playing as normal player.
Making 5 minutes cooldows per 5 units of ore/minerals surely shows that GMs and Devs are putting themselvs in newb's situation. Also I don't remember calling myself veteran.
If you want to make enemies, try to change something.
Well IMO devs should judge it, or instead of "guide competition" we will have "who has more friends competition"
Steve_Zissou: izual is very old schoolSteve_Zissou: he likes the sound it makes when we whine at him[TSAR]Jeoshua: It brings him pleasure... also chubbiesIzual: I live for that sound
Point... but the person might also have the Devs as friends, no?
Somehow I cant imagine devs being like "hey, this guide sucks, but lets make it a winning one, because my friend wrote it". If they want to give friends special items they will do it without competition.
Only an idiot could think that developers would prefer to cheat some stupid item for some player than to choose the best possible tutorial for THEIR game. I doubt anyone from the staff cares who controls the towns or who has the most expensive items. I know I don't. Also all GMs are long time players, many of them still play and I can assure you we know very well how playing on normal char look like.
