Guide to Military Gameplay thread OP needed

Postby Mallorea and Riva » Wed Apr 22, 2015 11:45 am

Hey everyone,

Since Nephmir has had his nations swept we need a new volunteer to head up the guide to military gameplay and keep it updated. We're looking for someone with experience in gameplay and a relatively clean record, though a few minor warnings won't exclude you from being selected. If no one is found that is suitable I'll probably do it myself, but that will make me grumpy and you don't want that.

At the very least the current guide needs to be reformatted, but ideally someone could do a rewrite of it.

How much actual writing and construction is required? I'd be more than willing to handle the admin and keep things updated, but I really don't feel like writing a comprehensive military GP guide.

Same here. I could keep it updated (possibly with help of other people), but I'm not that experienced in R/D.
I have one warning (last month, a opinion post in a mod report), and I'm on here fairly frequently.

Also, Yao and Nephmir gone in the same day? The mods had a field day last night.

EDIT: By the way, I am volunteering, just to make it clear.

As far as I'm concerned the previous military guides can be utilized to whatever extent the OP finds appropriate. If this changes I'll be sure to let y'all know.

I may be willing. I think I have only 1 hiccup in my record and that was a while ago.

OP updated.

No the Milo and Neph things had nothing to do with each other. No this isn't the thread to discuss it anyways.

I'd be willing, though my activity can be hazy at times, which I don't think would be a huge issue for maitanining this OP. I think it's been long enough since my last warning that I might be eligible under the current conditions.

I'd love to help out, but I've not really been involved in the R&D game for quite some time.

Good initiative, Mall!

Without functional R/D, there are no real political simulation either in this game.

(Meanwhile abstaining myself from that kind tasks due limited skills in English, too extreme approach to be able to look things objectively from R and D sides, lack of interest for studies, related to conventions and traditions related to R/D etc. good reasons. Bipolaric alcoholic addictees and Hard Core purist raider updaters are not best material for writing any guides for these threads, populated by moderate lemmings and crying natives!)

Probably best to discuss it here.

Perhaps Questers, or someone else from Maredoratica?

If no one else I'd be happy to step up.

I'm not interested in OPing the thread but can help with editing content if the new OP wishes aid.

Hmm.... perhaps instead of having one player take over the OP and admin duties on their own account have a group of GPer's maintain it collectively via a puppet? Share the workload.

*sigh* I'll toss my hat in the ring. I enjoy helping new people and have adapted the DEN guide like 80 times before. If you guys would like me to do it, just let me know.

Have you not read the million some odd responses of mods severely frowning upoun sharing nations? Even when there is no rule breaking.

I have, but I think a clear distinction can be made between;

1. Players sharing nations in an unorganized manner without mod knowledge
2. Several players sharing access to a semi-official nation used for the sole purpose of maintaining a guide/FAQ with full mod knowledge of such

I suggest you read some of the responses I've posted in some "New player need help" threads. If you see bias there then please inform me and I'll do my best to avoid it in the future.

I miss the Venico that could take a joke. This newer version takes himself too seriously.

A shared account makes me somewhat nervous.

I'd support Thomas being OP, even if he is a radical fenda attack helicopter.
