A Thank You To Slick & Ruatha

I wanted to say thank you for what you both did in the Frequently Asked Questions for Newbies thread.

The way you guys organized it is fantastic and very user oriented.

It is important, at least to me, that people who would go to the length that you both have gone to help the players of this fine game, to sort out that amazing mass of information in that and other threads, strongly deserver a thank you. So again, thank you both.

Well said. I don't consider myself a newbie so I never look at the faq, but I had a look after reading Atrocities' post and was astounded by the quantity and quality of the content.

Well, when it comes to organizing Slick has really done most of the work.
He has an organizatorial nack.

And as newbie, starting the FAQ is a survivability project for my PBW games

But still. Good comments as these are always welcome as they make one feel warm inside, I thank you

Thanks, guys, always nice to be appreciated. Like Ruatha, I was creating my own personal text file of "good to know" stuff that I got mostly from the forums and from the "Dubious Strategy Guide", which is also excellent. I haven't been able to find an updated DSG, though, I think my file is from 2001. Anyways, when I saw the FAQ starting up, I dumped all of my notes into it. From an organizational standpoint, I look at technical stuff all day so, I took the format style I am used to. When the file size began to get a little large, I simply made a structure that covered everything I could think of so that topics could be easily found and future input could be easily placed.

It is really a community effort and I urge people to continue to find errors and/or omissions so that it can get better. When I look through it, there are still lots of areas that could be explained better. The vision is that someone could buy the game, read the included manuals and the FAQ and very quickly be on par with an intermediate level player. The FAQ won't give you experience, but the goal is to save the newbie some frustrating time on the learning curve.

Thanks again for the kind words!

Slick.
