"The Starcraft Bible" is the best name for the book, imo. The other suggestions don't come close. | ||

I'm not a punctuation superhero, so it'll probably need editing, but I really look forward to seeing what I can come up with. Good show. Looking forward to it! | ||

As long as it doesn't offend anyone (which would be stupid IMO but I could still see it happening). I don't know what we'll do with the name but I'll keep everyone updated. | ||

A few examples: chronicling major events in e-sport history, profiling major personalities, writing personal stories about your experience as a fan such as your first time watching a professional game or something like that. You can write an opinion piece of the future (or past) of e-sports, about the place video games hold in our culture, about video games and art (are video games art?), about the most loved players of all time (perhaps about your favorites?). Why is StarCraft special? How and why do games inspire such a following? Are the followers wasting their time? Write about the flood of new players over the past few years OR write about what it was like to be a new player coming to a well-established community. Write about cheating in gaming, match throwing, hacking and its morality and effect on e-sports. Write about how this is a cerebral game and what that means. Write about people doing what they love (a la the post-finals speech). Write about the legal side of things: Blizzard suing hackers, Blizzard's fight with KeSPA and that whole mess, IP - this literally goes on forever and if anyone wants more legal ideas, they're infinite. Let's talk. Hell, write about StarCraft under the influence is more dangerous than DUI cause you keep crashing your dropship into trees on LT. Go gonzo. It goes on and on, this book will be a diverse set of work. I'm really more than willing to sit down and talk with anyone who wants to contribute as long as you're serious about it. We can come up with a topic that moves you to write. | ||

However, I'm not going to the printers right away and not for another week at least. If there's anything else you'd like to contribute, please do so! | ||

I think interviews with influential members of the community would be a great addition too. Thanks choboPEon ^___^ | ||

That way, as I grow older and have less time for the only game I have ever loved i'll still be able to have it with me. I think interviews with influential members of the community would be a great addition too. Thanks choboPEon ^___^  Thank you. I'm trying to get as many good people involved as possible for sure! | ||

Approach whoever you can about spreading the word about this thing. Sell yourself well; get names like Husky preaching the gospel, have publishers interested in the quality of your product. heh, it's funny you mention that. although i'm sure i've annoyed a few of the people i've contacted, i do try to avoid that overt annoying self-marketing stuff ... and maybe i should do so less, at least at certain junctions. you speak the truth! | ||
