Maybe this time Yoda will take it xD That would be insane. They already have more gsl titles than all teams combined and with all races. | ||

We generally expect our writers do to 1500-2000 words a day. A writer that can do 2500 words a day is doing well. 5000 words a day, even with work you know and understand, is a ton. Just doing a thorough edit on 5000 words takes me 2-3 hours :p | ||

Just doing a thorough edit on 5000 words takes me 2-3 hours :p Dont get me wrong, I'm not saying it isnt a lot of work, but coming from an academic standpoint there are a lot of things that arent required here, mainly referencing and critical skills. That, combined with the fact that as a hobby and interest this material can likely be written about practically from memory, pausing only to check numbers rather than facts, makes the workflow much more smooth and much faster. Its a shitload of time withiut question, even as dictation,at 60 wpm,which is average typing speed, itd be an hour, with no time taken to rephrase, proofread, fact check, format,obtain pictures, etc. Its probably taken most of a working day to write this, but as far as 5000 words goes, there are much harder tasks to fit into 5000 words than writing about something you could already basically talk about off the top of your head for 5000 wprds. | ||

It justg made me realize tho, Creator isn't in code S this season ? On September 03 2012 08:54 Sumahi wrote: Someone from Startale has to win this year, please. You've got so many awesome players, and even Bomber is back. I hope that either Parting or Squirtle can take it this year, but it would really make my dreams come true if Bomber could somehow banish the past year of his own personal demons and win it all. .. And now he's gone ! insert simpson meme here =) | ||
