Please take this guide writing seriously. Any guides posted with no work put into it or any that are plagiarized will lead to disqualification. Please do not worry if English is not your first language. Try your best at making it as clear as possible. It's the thought of wanting to contribute to the community that counts.

By submitting a guide you grant /gg FTW! rights to republish your guide on our content pages and to edit the guide for English clarity.

Guide for warrior>>gladiator>>>myrmidon

[10JQKA]

Yooo, I'll apologize if I have posted this on the wrong thread, BUTT I have an EXCUSE! I'm NEW to this site so be niceee to me!!! =p


Okay so here is my question,

*This competition actually caught my attention and I'm interested in taking part to give a shot in winning it. So here are my doubts. How do I "post a link in this thread to your guide for it to be considered." as in, where am I going to post my guild? so that I can post a link of that location here?

*Is there a date line for this competition? If there is, when is it?


Thank you so much in advance for replying my doubts. And thank you once again for organizing such events!


10JQKA,
Peace Out

[NoeJeko]

Yes, you can post a link to your guide (not guild) here. Your guide must be written on /gg FTW!, however.

Ohh ahh thx for the info.

But what does written on /gg FTW! means?


Sorry for these doubts as I'm pretty slow person, I requires direct idiot proof explanation to clear my doubts! Sorry once again.

Thanks in advance again,

Don't feel stupid for it. That's why we're here, to answer your questions and help you out =]

Good luck!

Thief Class Guide: Thief > Jester > Harlequin.

[Mirae]

Not quite but I'll edit your post. Just give me a few seconds. [ You usually put the title of the thread you are linking to ]

Do you want to keep the "Dragonica Thief Class Guides - /gg FTW!"
That isn't necessary because guide titles usually should be what you will talk about in the guide.

You can also double post as a spot saver in case you decide to add more and you reach the limit in the first post.

[Mirae]

It was already edited out by someone. It's fine like that. :]

[Wills]

okie

[NoeJeko]

Note: At the request of IAHgames this event has been extended until October 9th

[Delusion95]

I just noticed I registered on this site long ago ._. for some reason that I forgot and left here, and I foolishly registered again, with my same hotmail luckily

So can I copy paste my guide here anyway from IAHForums? Is that legal anyway (Using my guide, not plagiarism)?

Oho,now I know what to play.


Attention:
If you have used any pictures, please cite them. We do not wish for conflict to arise if the original guide writer saw you took something without giving proper credit.
Permission is required if the person states you must message them beforehand to use their material.

To clarify Shiki's post:

You cannot pull from other guides. If we find out you have plagiarized any portion of your guide or "borrowed" with citation you will be disqualified. This event is your guide -- not your interpretation of other guides.

Think about it. If you wrote a guide and some other person took parts of yours and won something, would you be upset? Probably. Don't be that guy.

Sorry if I didn't wrote clearly, my interpretation skill is still not as clear.

For the first part, I did not borrow any one else's guide except mines only. I would want to take my guide purely only, and ctrl-c everything in my guide and paste it into here. Is this allowed?

Well, for the last part, I would be a little upset though, but as from above, I would be just taking my own guide.

I asked this because I need some clarification from you, because whether my guide can be taken from there, and saves me some trouble for writing another one. If this is allowed, do I need to use my IAHForums nick to post about my participation for here to affirm this I'm not plagiarizing any of my fellow friend's guide? (and post a screenshot for proof anyway?)

Sorry if I gave you some trouble anyway. (I know my above points are repeating again @_@)

OT : So ya have pangya emotions , used those in some other forums, looks kinda cute.

[Shikisaurus]

We weren't directing my message to anyone in particular.
We're trying to tell everyone who are trying to write guides for this event to acknowledge their sources. It does not need to be a detailed bibliography, but credits and permission must be sought.

AFAIK, It's okay for you to copy and paste items from elsewhere as long as it is your own to begin with. Since it happens to be a guide, I expect all screenshots and the information alike to be done by you. If not, get permission and credit, else face disqualification.

Regarding your matter, I suppose Mirae would be able to tell you.
