Welcome to yet another completely unstructured and overly complicated blog with really bad photoshopped pictures.

My motivation for this blog was:

  • to waste time, because I really have nothing better to do
  • to show people how you get sucked into editing shit you initially didn't want to
  • promote some Lickypiddy stuff
  • show that there is still TONS of old stuff missing on Brood War, even though it has the reputation to be rather complete (as if)


The following (spoilered, because big) flow chart shows

  • a time frame of ~14 days
  • contributions which get you from no coins to at least two silver
  • about at least thirty (MS Word) pages of raw wiki code changes


while leaving out

  • File Uploads, such as pictures
  • Minor Template Fixes if neccessary
  • Re-Directs added
  • how much reading up (shown as research) actually eats away your time


I tried to make clear where I started to edit and where I ended up, following some sort of linear logic. However, most times reading up stuff made me edit more articles at once. It might also explain why

  • I have no idea how other contributors can "fight" over minor template issues
  • I ended up editing articles of almost all genres (maps, strategies, players, tournaments, [...]) on LP Brood War
  • I really hate that the other Liquipedia version's editors (SCII, DotA, Hearthstone) introduce new features almost daily, which make me more confused than I am (see the yellow box towards the end). the changes are usually still great to have


+ Show Spoiler [long flow chart] +

Well, hopefully this shows people who usually come up with "but I don't know what to edit" in Lickypiddy promotion news / threads, how easy it is to find tons of things to fix. Even if it's only a minor thing. Mind you, that are only about 250 edits. The ordinary gold coin guy has more than 3k+ edits. But fuck that, coins are a lie.

A thought's not to think
unless it's an LP link.
Never trust your toes.
A build is not a guess, an estimation or a hunch, a feeling, or a foolish intuition. A build is a dependable, unwavering, unarguably accurate, portrayer of your ambition.

Its more like getting up to go to the fridge to get a beer, and accidentally assembling a helicopter while you're there, with no idea of how exactly it happened, or what possessed you to do it. But now you have a helicopter, and you're quite proud of it.

HanniGan still doesn't have a page haha
Funny chart, I've been doing a similar work, and this is exactly what happens. Luckily I do that at the office so I can't waste 2 hours watching BoxeR videos.

If you do research on Russian players, you go to fridge, find a bear, crack it open, wonder what you did, end up having a lot of fur and feel like czar. A tired czar.

I'm kind of curious how long it took to make the flowchart?

Does editing (modernly speaking) 'ancient' liquipidia pages make one feel like a modern day Herodotus?

About 2 hours in total including writing this blog.

Not really, no. It's more like Indiana Jones. Not the one who got the girls and lived adventures, but the one of the incredibly bad movie, who gets called old by his son all the time and finds aliens, which completely do not make sense in the context of the franchise. Like at all. And the one who makes you hate George Lucas, except you learn to hate badly archived pages. The one that has to hide in a refridgerator. Except you don't hide, but you find either a bear (see my previous post) or a helicpoter (according to GMarshal).

Edit:
Also thanks to [Anonymous] for the TL+ thing. Please do never do this again. It feels odd, at least for this post. Rather donate directly to TL (or buy something off them). You could also show your appreciation for BW related content giving stuff to yoda @ defiler, so that page stays online longer. I really do this because I have nothing better to do, not because of the benefits.

Well, in before this turns into a pro or con TL+ debate: I'm happy about it, no question. However, I like comments and positive/negative/any feedback a little more. It just feels super weird. I have been around the scene for 13 years by now and never received money/gifts for "work". The most valuable things I received ever was a SCII Beta Key of the first wave, which more or less was only a way for Blizzard (via support of fanpages) to give me incentive to promote their product(s). Less weird, definitely.

Futhermore, it's really strange, a few years back the comments to whatever you did showed how interesting it was for the audience; nowadays it's the opposite, you get views, barely comments, but more gifts. I'm probably just getting old.
