In a way, the very reason to write an article is to "get roasted by other people". I view it as a challenge, and a way to improve my skill at writing and strategizing. Often, people come up with great points to help me improve my game, and hopefully I can help them in return.

Well said CG but going on and posting a half a sentence and voting someone a 2 is a load of doo doo..after you put an hour into your article to have someone say some ignorant coment ant then vote doesn’t make me want to keep writing articles. I am reading yours right now. I won’t give you a 2 even if it did suck.

Hey, thanks. I do agree that giving out low ratings with barely a sentence is a poor practice. I’ve had some bad experience with low ratings that I didn’t think I deserved, but that’s just my thoughts on the matter.

Usually, I try to give a long recommendation, plus some extra time for the article writer to fix their article. But that’s just personal preference.

Anyway...back on track here...

I’d like to see a little more flow to this article-it could be a whole lot stronger. Your minion side shouldn’t even get mentioned, because that’s not what this article is about.

Good idea, and better than your other ones, at least it appeared to me.

One Ring to find them

That’s what I thought too, but as the one before had two 5s and this one has 4 3s...but the first one I put in some effort and did fair, the next one I put in more effort and did worse for rating, and this one I put in 2-3 hours and got the worst, but that’s how it is sometimes. And I guess I just don’t have a good stratagy article in me somewhere. BTW CG I’ve never taken a class on how to write "Strong" articles, so If I even write another stratagy article(Which will be a while if ever) I will try to put in what I have learned.

So thanks E_L CG and A_E your input will be added to my other stratagy article experiences.

haha

that is what i found so funny about this site when i first arrived, the best person at LOTR can be a "trainee" just because they’re not a spammer, and a newbie can be an "expert" simply because they spam! eh, what are ya gunna do? Very Happy
