Ohh, if you're willing to collaborate and edit/replace stuff in the first few posts, that'd be fan-fuckin'-tastic. I could PM you with my work and such.

The problem that still remains though,
is that I feel it is best to have complete control over a history thread in the form that I want to follow. Look at the other thread if you haven't already. I don't want to have people talking in it, either. First of all, I'm not sure local mods can even edit posts originally posted by admins (re: chardish).

Second, I have no problem with providing the content and directing you to do all the editing. But the thing is this; the way I want to organize it, it's 20 games covered per post. These will be sandwiched between an intro post with links to jump to each section, and a post with the win records. Once another block of 20 games is finished, a new post detailing the games is needed, and the win records must be moved to the next post. As this process continues, it will eventually have to "eat" non-history posts in this thread to make room.

Not that much of those early discussion posts are relevant now, and we'd have to hit 181 games until we have a problem, but still. At the very least, we need to have a separate thread for general TWG discussion, so nobody's legit discussion posts NOW are ever in danger.


If you want to start from scratch go for it. Please use the same format I used in this post. This means url linking of postgame/game threads. Mention of MVP/team win/host, and a SMALL section of host comments. You don't need to include when the people died though.

I'm already following your format almost to the letter; see here. The only difference I have to take up with you is that with spoiler tags used as shown, I don't know if it's necessary to keep host comments "small"...but it's your call of course. In any case, action lists shouldn't be in the history, they should be in the postgame.

It's a big undertaking. If you choose to go through with it don't leave it hanging halfway through.

Like I said, I'll try to do a small portion everyday. Barring FFR exploding again, I think I'll be fine!
