    Default FAQ Workthread

    I have read a little bit through several FAQ's in the net

    my suggestions

    1.
    Using Khevlan's original faq as a basis,

    2.
    making a subdivision of several topics:(for example) EB General, EB Gameplay, EB Bugs... ( I already made a rough subdivision for Khevlan's FAQ)

    3.
    collecting questions during the week, and updating the thread on the weekend...

    This is the first time i am doing something like this, so i really appreciate your help.

    That sounds pretty good. Some level of organization is a must. The Game Play section should be rather easy, since you could post links that take people directly to the already-posted EB Faction Game Play guides. In fact that's one way to address the whol FAQ issue. If somebody has already posted a detailed answer to Question "X", then you could just link directly to that post instead of re-typing it.

    Why don't you post some links to other FAQs that you have seen - and like - so we we can talk about the details of this one in reference to those. f/e "I like the way they have an alphabetical list of "hot words" at the top which contain links that take you to the detailed FAQ Q&A elsewhere in the thread - just like you see here in the FAQ for Game X."

    Example for subdivision
    Empire Earth (german)

    and another one

    and of cours this one

    This one has a different start, answering the questions about the mod directly
    Ran No Jidai FAQ

    we have to decide, if we want to make one Post that is updated regularly (looking trough the different threads to find Questions and Answers), making a thread where people can ask all kind off Questions about eb and answer these there, or make something of both...

    What about making a thread in wich the first post that is regularly updated with the normal questions and awnsers. But the fans can also ask questions in it these will be awnsered and can (if they aren't in the faq yet) be added in the first post. That way we have all the information in one thread.
