As you can see, things have gotten somewhat more complex around here. This is why I'd like for someone to write a thorough newbie's guide, detailing all the available options during character creation (The various special classes, the items, the abilities etc.). It'll be a sort of contest and whoever writes the most interesting to read and informative newbie's guide will at the least receive 1000 Munny (From the mighty Iris) and their guide will be used. There are no consolidation prizes.

I'll take a crack at it, though my history with guides is not exactly great. xD

I'm in! I need the 1000 munny. Plus, this would give the newbs something to look forward to. Yes!

We need a due date, however. May I suggest the end of April? It sounds like sufficient time to write a time for those who are busy with school/work/other real life stuff.

Hmm... I'm game, but I have a question. Does it have to be written?
I ask because I have an idea: an animated Flash introduction/guide to FM, hosted by the one and only Lord of the Dead, Hades! This way, newcomers don't have to pick through a wall of text in order to figure things out -- by combining visuals and Flash's ability to parse things into independent scenes, readers can progress at their own pace and click their way through the topics they need.
So... would that be acceptable?

 ; Hey dude, I gotta use the skills at my disposal. Besides, since this is a contest there is a chance I won't be allowed to use Flash. In one sense, that does give me an unfair advantage... still, I figured I'd ask. So no sense in cursing me out just yet, eh?  |

You can use Flash, if you manage to pull it off it would be great for all of us. Don't worry, we can always include the Flash guide and a written guide as well.
Instead of just 1000 munny, I might be able to make the prize a free Summon.
Hell, I feel like writing one now.
EDIT: We'll work out an appropriate date, but you guys will have a fair amount of time.

In that case, can we flash-ify all of our rules? XD It's like reading out of a bio textbook.
Not that I'm encouraging anyone to not read them. *cough*

On a slightly similar note, anyone think we should have a guide requesting thingie?
Also, I am envious of you Nascent.
...-sniff-. I want Flash...
...
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaywaitaminute. What about the sprite shop?
Some people can't see/view flash. It'd be kinda mean/unfair/an oversight to not have a written version along with it.
But that might just be me and my habit of checking the site with my phone talking. >.>;

-nod- One thing at a time. We'll start with the Newbie guide. A flash version supplied by Nascent whenever he has the time and a written guide, as I said before, if they both get done there will be different prizes for the two categories.
Actually, why stop there? If you want, maybe make even a diagram? I will refine it properly later, but for now, there will be two categories to worry about. A 'media' category (Flash, pictures, videos whatever) and a 'written' category for the newbie guide.
