Hi guys, just gonna try get things a little more organized. There are two purposes to this thread. Firstly, a place people can pitch potential ideas to work on, as well as see a list of what other people have suggested. And secondly, to show what members are currently working on, so we don't end up with people overlapping.

CS: Was looking at doing a WCS Round-up, maybe a summary of WCS 1st Day (Friday) as well.



Current Team Projects:

WCS Hype Series: Awesome stuff by everyone so far, Lemminks has a couple more interviews to post over the next two days, and I have a piece to do by friday, then we're all done. Good work everyone!

Potential projects:



2 - SEA Power Ranking

What would need to be done:
- Create excel spreadsheet of last year or so of results (CS already has PiG and Targas)
- Decide on format for release (Ie top 10, releasing 2 a day or all at once?)
- Find photos + cool graphics

3 - SC2SEA Wrapup #2

Looked like heaps of fun. Good way to be silly. Would be a huge project

What would need to be done:
-Interviews with community personalities + random posters
-Hugeeeeee set of graphics
- Find cool stories to write about over the last few months from the site
- + heaps else

Love the ideas of all three projects.

#1
I think with the massive amount of work everyone has done for the hype articles, a simple summary post would be good enough! just gathering all the photos / results nicely in one post.

#2
veteris will be helping a lot and creating a result database to be built into our existing replay/player DB and from there a ELO ranking can be used to help decide the power ranks! I believe the tabulating of results is cory's speciality so he should be the go to guy for this project

#3
sounds fantastic, maybe have the community awards too at the end of the year or tie in the race wars or nostalgia week thing

could ask deL or UHF to do an infograph like what's done for ACL

Change of plans sorry, just going to end up using my fifth piece as a wrap up of the event, as I feel no one is really going to see anything posted now, and there is more opportunity for a better piece if I do that

Two Articles i have always wanted to write but never had the time

Article 1. Types of fourm users on SC2SEA
Kinda a tounge-in-cheek look into the various types of personalities on sc2sea

1. The fanboy
This guy loves everything you post. Made an ill-timed joke? Said something wrong? Don't worry he has your back and will defend your honour until his last dying breath. Did somebody disagree with you? Well bad move, your fan boy is ready to unleash hell. Made a normal post? Expect to be exalted to the high heavens. Often gives you many hearts and +1s because you're awesome... to him!

2. The V for vendetta
The polar opposite of the fanboy. Perhaps you voiced your opinion and disagreed with him sometime in the past on a freaking forum. You don't even know what about because it was so insignificant. But what you do know is this guy took it personally and now hates your guts. A lot. Be prepared to see a negative or snide remark coming from him every time you posts. Like a dirty underwear stain, it will probably never go away. Oh well.

3. The New to the internet guy
A friend of wall of text and no-formatting, this guy really just good at heart but apparently its the first time he has used a computer. His posts often look like thoughts from his concious stream before they have been made decipherable to other humans by the brain and he often asks silly stuff or make threads like "SEA server??" which was a poorly named title for "So what countries are on the SEA server" which of course should have never been a topic in the first place because it can be simply googled.

etc


Article 2. Forum etiquette, the do's and don't
Recommended and non-recommended behaviour on sc2sea and a short rationale why at the end.

DOs: Positive feedback on obviously good articles / content
That was a fantastically well written article. May a squadron of beautiful virgins find their way to your groin by the end of the day.

Don'ts: Ignoring all that is good to focus on really minor stuff or to attack the person just because you don't like him!
This article is terrible, you forgot to put a fullstop at the end of this sentence. And your face looks like my groin and i bet you're still a virgin.

Why?
Disagreeing its obviously fine, but when people take the time to produce content we want to encourage such behaviour and let them know how much fun it was reading what they did. It will encourage others to want to produce content or the original author to produce more of it. Meaning win-win for all!! If its a small typo thing just PM them about it theres no need to point it out like that, as if it was the only thing you took from the article. And if you don't like the person just don't say anything, the article isn't an opportunity for you to have a go at him.


If anyone is keen to take it up feel free to do so.
