[Official] Strategy Guide Project Callout

Hello CCommunity!
The Strategy Guide forum is looking to increase our numbers! For many of you, this may be a golden opportunity to let your writing and/or strategy skills shine! Some parts of the forum are being reconstructed, and with it we would like to reconstruct our members! We are looking for members who:
- Like to write
- Like to discuss
- Like to play
As the foundry chugs out more and more maps, there is always a guide to be written, and one shiny General Achievement medal to each guide completed! Also, note that guides don't have to be maps - they can be general guides about settings, game-play, etc.
These guides may be a brief explanation of how you play your games at first, and then reviewed by other forum members sharing their opinion on your work into a fine crafted guide, published for the public. Remember that you don't have to be a master strategist to write a guide, you just have to want to do it!
If you are interested in joining our Guide Brigade, please PM either rdsrds2120, Master Fenrir, or nagerous stating so!
If you could title your PM 'Strategy Guide Project' and list a few brief things about yourself that would make you a good candidate, that would be more than appreciated!

Hey folks
Just wondering if you may want to add a list in the announcement - then players can check if the maps they have expertise in are already catered for.

**Guides that are in dark purple have been abandoned by their original author. If you wish to recycle them, you have that option upon entering the team.
(About 50 of 170 total, this is a way you can help close the gap)
If you see a map not on the list that would like to undertake, feel free!
As mentioned, you may also do settings, conditions, etc.
However- you don't necessarily have to write to become a member. If you would just like to be able to comment on them and give thoughtful feedback, we need you too!

No.
If you enjoyed writing about it though, and want to possibly write about more maps, but in a more organized, and set manner, you can PM me to join.
