    Blog contributors wanted!

    (i posted this in multiplayer forum but wanted to p it here too so everyone gets a read) 

    If you are a good tactical thinker, strategist in the game and can spell and write online well / farmiliar with Wordpress or can get a grasp on it easily please message me.

    I am looking to start a Halo Wars blog soon as the one on this site is one written normally from a developer stance, it would be good to have one from a player stance.

    Please no gauss spammers/rush on rushers. I want people who will give good advise to all levels of player with tactics, strategies and counter plays, not people who do the same thing game after game, as you people will have 1 thing to write about before getting empty. Experience is a must, i dont care if you have a huge TS, if you've got less than 100 games under your belt you probably haven't encountered enough gameplay to keep a good diverse and thought out blog going..

    Would be good to have players with tele syncs so they can record things off gameplay. 

    I am hoping to get 3 or so writers on board, 5 posts a week to start with to keep things managable, more if you want to. You will have access to post on the blog and related Twitter/Facebooks. There will be no advertising, therefore this isn't paid, it will be a labour of love for the contributors but if your looking for an online/gaming job one day this will look good on your CV. If we get good traffic and influence maybe Robot will throw us freebies too? ( ;) )

    If i get writers together in the next week, we can expect to launch the blog a few days after the teams together.

    (note: im not an amazing player, but with nearly 500 games played i've seen it all (nearly))

    Feel free to reply with questions.

    p.s. i know this forum is a great source of information and im not trying to drag people AWAY from the forum, instead i want to create a place online where large, extensive enriched content can exist in a blog format. i hope the mods don't mind me posting this.

    I'm not sure these forums are active enough anymore to have an effective blog...  :\

    Re: Blog contributors wanted!

    its still an active forum by far, plus the blog will not be connected to this forum and has nothing to do with Halo Wars officially or Robot, there's still thousands of people looking for Halo Wars tips elsewhere on the internet. This forum is just a good looking place to get key players on board for writing for the blog.

     p.s. thankyou to everyone who's contacted me thus far, ill reply to you soon. 

    If you are interested, please do give me a message, the more contributors the better.

    thanks!

    Re: Blog contributors wanted!

    I will volunteer, I always like a challenge. I specialize in early upgrades and economy, scouting, etc. Or anything else you want me to write about. I have 224 games under me.I always like to give out a helping hand.

    Re: Blog contributors wanted!

    I would like to volunteer as well. My current rank is commander. I've played 240 live matches, plus roughly fifty private matches against AI or friends. Of the 240 live games, I've won 166. My 1v1 TS is 29. This isn't earth-shattering, I know, but it does show that I have a decent command of the game.

    I don't care for super-early rushes, but am not offended by rushes that take four or more minutes to execute. I don't have a big head and I enjoy playing different strategies (although the Prophet of Regret is my favorite character to play).

    My specialties include mid-game combat, swiftly adjusting to changes in enemy tactics, and taking advantage of unique map features.

    Let me know if I can help.

    Thanks,

    Eric

    P.S. My xbox live username is Windchill0105

    EDIT: I don't currently have tele sync capability, but would be willing to look into setting it up. Could you recommend a good forum/guide where I could look into this? 

    EDIT2: Actually, this website lists my skill rank as 34. I'm not sure where the decrepancy is... perhaps I'm higher ranked in another playlist than I think I am.
