Guide Overview
HamsterIV:
That is why I put "Full Disclosure" at the top. I may be a liar and a hypocrite, but at least I am a honest one... if that makes any sense.
N-Sunderland:
It makes total sense. I've heard much weirder things on this forum before (I'm looking at you, Spoon). I myself was a bit hypocritical in saying things like "you must stay near the hull whenever possible" in my own guide. I have a tendancy to go daydreaming on the roof of a Goldfish or a Galleon's crow's nest when I get bored (but never in the heat of the battle, obviously).
Kyren:
Ah, good that you took that over, lads! Thanks for editing, Mr. Sunderland! I find myself with a shortage of time spent at home these days :/ I'll be able to get myself up to date tomorrow and on fridays, but from Saturday on I'll be on holidays. But I see the Overview is in capable hands :)
Helmic:
Here to be that guy again. There's not much use for a guide overview if it's simply listing all the guides you can see in the Guide forum in one page. To be blunt, having the guide only omit one irrelevant guide mean it's taking up space in the page, making the REAL index more cluttered than it needs to be. Could this be pared down to the essentials, the REALLY good ones?
Better yet, couldn't this just link to pages on the wiki with these guides posted there and freely editable by the community at large? What about non-English guides? These guides will eventually be out of date, soon given the rate at which this game is patched. Having a stickied index that simply lists everything without even shrinking it down into an easier-to-read table AND points to outdated guides is going to spread more misinformation than anything.

It's one page now, but there could be more in the future.

One important thing about this index is that it categorizes the guides and describes them. It's there to help players find what they want quickly.

This would lead to arguing about which guides are good, which ones aren't, etc. We're here to help people out, not upset them by saying that their guide isn't good enough to be listed.

If any guide writers wish to put their guides on the wiki, then that's their decision to make.

Sure, they'll go out of date. I think we should probably put a note in each guide saying "to date as of 1.1.x", and update anything that needs to be fixed. As for non-English guides (the wikis, I presume), we'll just have to work on keeping those up to date (except for the French one, which I still haven't begun working on, lazy me).
