Title: Last Leg of the Guide
Post by: Shiver on September 26, 2004, 08:52:58 am
To those of you just tuning in, I've been working on a SC2 guide on and off for a long time. Too long. I've taken this pretty slow, but now I'm down to just the Ultron quest (which I've already picked up two of the artifacts for), the Syreen/Mycon quest, and the final battle. I don't have access to the computer with the file now, but tomorrow I think I will sit my ass down and finish the guide all at once. And when I've done that, I'll want someone to look it over. It's really damn long, so if you're thinking of posting an "I WILL!!", please do us both a favor and hesitate some more.

And no, I am not pushing myself too hard all at once. The later parts of the FAQ have proven to be the easiest.

No, we aren't! ...um, I mean, OF COURSE WE ARE! ...but then, um, uh, I wouldn't have time for this...

Oh well. Just send me the damn thing.

Read it through in an hour or so, and sent comments.

I should really be studying hard for an assignment at the university, but I find that at the moment, almost everything else is more interesting than reading about Roman expansion during the republic... particularily anything that contains the phrases "turning jets", "fusion blasters" and "Hyperspace".

Roman expansion vs UQM is like comparing blowing **** up in chemistry and studying poetry in english.

Want anyone elses opinion, cuz if you do, you have my email...wait...my new email is sanderscamper@gmail.com lol =p

I think I might fall back on you since VoID is busy, but I'm still waiting for him to give a reply. Working with more than one person at a time would be just begging for problems.

Ouch =p

Not really, I just took the first competent person that offered. Also, I prefer the credits list at the end have a bunch of people with insignificant roles instead of having me say at the top of the guide "AUTHOR: SHIVER, THE EDITOR THAT SAVED THAT OTHER GUY'S SORRY ASS FROM HIS OWN BAD TYPING: SANDER". Surely this must make some sense to you.

Oh no! Look at what you guys have done! Now I have to get extra inventive in order to push VOiD's spirits into the dirt.

Your typing wasn't THAT bad... =p

I never said you had to even include me in the credits...I mean, just a little note at the bottom will suffice =p

The credits ARE a little note at the bottom.

=p So why the full caps thing up top? I always thought it would be like this:

ULTIMATE SC2 GUIDE
BY SHIVER

I backed out of the "Greatest Guide Ever Made By Man" format a long time ago when I heard about the Wiki index. Had I known how the Wiki thing would actually turn out, I probably would've kept that angle. I haven't done anything related to Super Melee, and don't really plan on it since there's so much stuff on it floating around the internet that I don't want to try and compete with.

On another vote, where the hell is Void? He hasn't sent me anything in like three days!

As I learned a long time ago, VOiD is merely a figment of everyone's imaginations, and as figments go, they aren't very reliable. ;)

Turn out? We've only just got started.

We need a big wiki banner on this page, as I always (and I assume many others) simply jump straight to general discussion. IMHO
