You PMed me when I posted the recruitment post and you told me that you're mostly interested in old foreign Broodwar events, like WWI and Sandlot. How come that's where your interest was?

Because the Korean scene never interested me that much, compared to the foreign events. Especially since I got like ultra low broadwith until late 2004, so I couldn't watch VODs. Then you had to download reps from foreigners. Easier to access, smaller in size, and still a lot of entertainment value. And actually, back in that time you were overwhelmed by the number of small tours, events and such, so you didn't see that much from Korea.

Do you remember what page you first worked on?

Fisheye (e/n: Fisheye was a German BroodWar player who won the Silver Medal in WCG 2003)

Why him?

I wanted to add the WCG detailed results and was shocked to see there was no article about who might be one of the best foreigners before Mondragon. At least from a German perspective

So I think I remember it was FishEye first and then a lot of edits to the various World Cyber Games. What was that experience like, making your first edits? Like, did you know what to do, did you have a plan or a goal, is it hard to get started?

Actually, the wiki code or whatever you call that is very easy, so no turn downs there. I totally went facepalm whenever I had to work on WCG's page, because, as is tradition, their page sucks ass, especially when you had to find something pre 2005. Besides that it's ultra annoying to use archives if you need detailed things and it really is annoying that I still haven't found a grid for WCG Germany 2003. And there still is so much I could add, but I can't remember everything. It's like there is this ocean of events and you don't know where to start, so I just randomly add whatever comes to mind, or what can be found quite easily.

You had to get quite resourceful, looking up archived websites to find information right?

Depends. Some pages like GG.net, BW.de have good archives for 2004 to today. Then MYM has a terrific archive which is easy to handle. But then there is WCG... Not to mention the dead leagues like Giga, old ESL archives, GGL, ESC 2004 and so on.

After WCG, you worked on pages for Pimpest Plays. For those who don't know, can you tell us what those are and what motivated you to write pages for them?

Same as with Fisheye. I wanted to look up in which year the cannon rush took place on Korhal, because I wasn't sure, and there was nothing. Couldn't be, seriously. Especially with all the "spam the best vod" threads every second week in BW General forum. So Pimpest Plays are an article series made by SCLegacy.com for the years 2002-2007. Every year the best 10 or 15 plays/games were presented. Those were really good, entertaining and featured only the best players. It's a legendary thing, and if you're really into BW you should have seen all of them.

So you'd recommend all the starters of these kinds of topic to check our your articles? ^^

No, but it's pointless to open a topic asking for the best bw plays "ever" when those are already there in Pimpest Plays. Don't get me wrong there are plenty of good plays after 2006, when the last submission wave took place. But the real gems, like Nal_rA's drop are already in there. It's the kind of Broodwar that had the most impact on Meta Games for seven years.

Like the Muta stacking?

Muta Stacking, Pylon Prisons, Plague against vessels, several smaller tricks like vulture jumps, not to mention the Nal_rA recall... (e/n: Arbiter Reloaded)

Do I sense a personal favorite?

No

What's your favourite PP then?

http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Pimpest_Plays/2002#Honorable_Mentions this one or Nada's Amazing Mace: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Pimpest_Plays/2003#Place_1:_H.O.T-Forever.27s_Divine_Wind_.26_Nada.27s_Amazing_Maze. This one is good too. Those three share first place I guess.

So after that I think the next big thing was WCG Qualifiers

Nope, http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/2006_Sandlot_tournament (e/n Sandlot was a tournament in which Blizzard invited communities. TeamLiquid, among others, played, as well as a lot of future pro gamers such as fantasy, In_Dove and s2) Then wcg qualifiers, because some little bird told me "YOU COULD ADD MORE THEYRE NOT DONE!!!11one"

*cough* Do you think you're gonna end up adding all the Russian/Polish/Swedish/USA etc qualifiers too? :3

Maybe :3

The last thing I need to touch upon are your pages on Hacks and Bugs. Especially Bugs, since they are such a big part of BW, plus I didn't goad you into making the page. Can you tell me how you came up with the idea

No idea.

Editing LP causes memory lapses?

I think I saw a cast where someone complained about broken replays, and re-hosted it three times and then said that replay would be unwatchable. The issue was the pause-text thing described in the article. Somehow it's always surprising people don't know about it. It was really a big issue when the patch that caused it was released. IIRC (not looking up) it was the Patch 1.16, one of the less-nice patches. That cast really did cause me many facepalms, as the streamer said he would be so ultra oldschool.

So mad...

Yeah :D You had 10k raging people after the patch, so don't tell me you been into bw for 10 years and dont know about it

OK >_>

Even kespa reacted to that patch and used 1.15.3 instead of 1.16

What would you say to people who are considering starting to contribute to Liquipedia

Dodge WCG pages.

That's not very motivating ;_;

Don't be a dummy, be a smartie and join the LQ party? Honestly i dont know what to tell them

...I am just gonna take that quote and make it look like you said it like that

Actually one part of me is writing that with the remote hope that somebody not knowing the scene reads and thinks "hey lets try that game"
