OK thats a bit far fetched I must admit, however, we are in the process of compiling an 'idiots guide' to putting together and running an on-line community and tournament. The intention is to build a manual that will contain all the information needed in one place. This could be done through a Wiki, but it never seems to work that way.
The mighty DaGrooved one has almost completed the section on how to run an army. Once that is complete I'm sure he will post for public dissection and comment.
However, there are other sections that need to be added to the overall manual, namely:
Feel free to plagiarize/steal idea etc. from other communities. This isn't being put together for publication - its for our own use. If you want to acknowledge them though then thats ok to.
FORUM ETIQUETTE including but not limited to; acceptable behaviour and language. Signature rules and how to incorporate them into your postings. Avatars - where when and why. Naming conventions etc.
HOW TO ADMIN A BATTLESERVER -self explanatory but put together for budding Tournament Admins and Battleserver Admins. Should also include uploading files/maps/mods etc.
HOW TO ADMIN ABC - again self-explanatory but requires not only the technical walk-through but also something on usage, conventions, draft etc.
HOW TO RECRUIT AND KEEP PLAYERS. - includes how to recruit and keep players.
HOW TO MANAGE THE FRONT PAGE AND UPLOAD GRAPHICS - Includes all the conventions, sizing etc.
TO BE CONTINUED:
Looking for volunteers now - but you all know who you are.
