I need help on my section of the Guide! Please read!

Post by BlueMaxima »

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls...wait, scratch that.

I just finished rewriting and reorganizing my section of the Warzone 2100 Guide (you know, the one Zarel's working on).

You can find it here: http://guide.wz2100.net/basics

I need help reading over the guide and making improvements/fixing mistakes.

Anyway, I'll make you's a little challenge to find. I put a small reference from one of my favourite movies in my section of the guide somewhere. Find it first, tell me the movie it's from, and I'll give you a giant cookie. :D

If you find a mistake or want to suggest an improvement, please leave a comment on the respective page.

Signed, BlueMaxima.

Damnit Zarel, I'm going to hit you so hard I'll kill your whole family!

EDIT: I've backed up all my edits. No need to fret, I'll be able to stick them right back in, everybody.

Since the content is still there, feel free to have a look at it.

From what I can tell, Zarel's own editing scripts.

Don't take it up with me, take it up with him.

Did you actually read my stuff, lav_coyote?

If you do not want people to edit it then why not make it read only?
You do not even mention on the page that you are working on it and it is in pretty bad form to yell at people to stop as if they can read your mind and what you have planned.

It is like slapping BlueMaxima in the face after all the hard work he did. :(
This is a waste of space. Something important should be here.

That's not my "yelling" voice; that's my "panicked and worried because I have no idea what's wrong with the Guide and I need to fix it" voice. Sheesh. :/

And I mention it on the first comment in the home page: "Commentary reset! The Guide is just incredibly unstable right now. I'm working to fix it all, but it's quite a good thing we haven't lost anything *too* important yet."
