Naturally, I'll have to give my two cents:
First of all, this guide just seems like an attempt to set up a recruitment thread in the general forum. I move your attention to this quote:
zOMG Elite Guide, 2nd Paragraph
This tutorial/resources is amongst the most concise and complete zOMG tutorials available and it is publicly made accessible to everyone for chapter one of zOMG. All future installments of this resource will be done exclusively within the zOMG Elite battle clan.
So basically, you're going to require people to join your clan in order to gain more access to the guide? And wouldn't that mean your guide here is going to be outdated? As long as you get your members though, right?
Second of all, the " OCL = [ (8*R
cool +(7*R7)+(6*R6)+(5*R5)+(4*R4)+(3*R3)+(2*R2)+ R1 ] / 36 " equation was taken from my guide, if I'm not mistaken. I've been since removed it from my thread in order to promote simplicity, but that equation was never "publicly announced" outside of my thread. So as it stands, you guys either stole it from my guide or you're math wizards.
But anyway, your posts are well thought-out and asthectically pleasing. I wish you luck with your guide.
All I'm saying is that one doesn't write a guide to promote something, but rather just to help people. I'd suggest you take the "zOMG! Elite" references and tone them down, as well as updating your guide in-full on the forums.
Oh, and I'd also still like to know where you got that equation from.
Oh, and by the way, to further reiterate the fact that you're
stealing things from my guide, you know the lists with the attack rings listed in order of their damage potentials? Yeah, not only are they outdated (which is why I removed them from my guide), but you also copied them EXACTLY. I can tell because of the phrases " Attack Rings (in order of damage in a single blow) " and " Attack Rings (in order of most damage in a 10-second period)." Now, forgive me if I'm wrong, but last I remember, I took those lists off of Qix's profile, but I *did* change the wording of the list titles to "in order or damage in a single blow" and "in order of most damage in a 10-second period" so that I could tell if anybody copied them from Qixter, or if they copied them from me.
I either want credit with a link to my guide, or for you change the wording of the list titles AND a link to where somebody in your clan discovered the OCL equation on their own.
