Hi everyone, you don’t know me yet, but, I joined these forums to ask why the main site has no Hunters section. Nate’s response? Make one. So I decided to launch a project to organize the information in this forum into a guide for speed tricks, boss tricks, special techniques, and all that good stuff that a section on m2k2 needs. I see this as a five step process.
As a first step, I have created an e-mail address for the operation: Hunters2k2@gmail.com and created this thread. Initial response to the thread and the poll will be used to gauge feasibility - I can’t do this alone. But if I see that there is interest and a willingness to help, there is a strong possibility of moving ahead with this. I know a lot of people will be busy with Corruption, but since Hunters is already a year-and-a-half old, I figure there’s no hurry.
Step two will involve initial submissions: those who have discovered tricks sending descriptions that can be edited into useable instructions, and videos demonstrating the processes.
Descriptions should be accompanied by links to the first place they were posted, if applicable, and should be written with the best spelling and grammar you can manage, to keep editorial duties to a minimum.
Videos should be the best possible, preferably according to these guidelines, with a few exceptions allowed: note that only one screen is needed if nothing important happens on the other screen, and, though I will have to confirm with Nate, I don’t think audio is too important unless your trick involves an audio cue( which is not to say you shouldn’t record the best audio you can get). I will also check on whether it is acceptable for you to process your own video, since I know already-formatted submissions would be much easier for me to handle.
Step three, if it gets that far, would be the creation of a list of what we have and what’s missing, such as videos for tricks that the discoverers were unable to record. At this stage, people other than the discoverers of the tricks would be asked to fill in the gaps.
Step four would be finalizing names, attribution, lists, organization, etc., though that would also be taking place gradually over the course of the earlier work.
And step five would be submitting the whole thing to the good ol’ webmaster, to be coded and integrated into the site.
So... thoughts?
