Is it really Worth GKing an empty genny in a dark building? --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 00:08, 17 October 2010 (BST)

For the 10+ AP cost to do so, not really. 00:08, 17 October 2010 (BST)

Empty gennies not as much. I'm thinking of lit gennies here, but will make that clearer later. Note that this is still _massively_ work in progress. -- Spiderzed▋ 00:11, 17 October 2010 (BST)

Pro-banana? I rike. 20:25, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

That's the least I can do after NOT slapping a banana tactics template on the Hiding section. -- Spiderzed▋ 20:28, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Just so you know, {{button|attack}} doesn't work very well in IE. ~ Red Hawk One ^{Talk | space for lease} 21:33, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up. I've used now a workaround without the padding that doesn't look as good/official as the original template, but neither breaks the formatting as far as I've tested it in IE. -- Spiderzed▋ 13:49, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Discussion from Developing Guides

We have a few PKer guides on the wiki, but none that I'm happy with so far. They are good at teaching the basic "max your guns and hide in dark buildings" drill, but hardly go beyond that. (Possible exception is only the Siege PKer guide, and let's face it, it's more about death-cultists who use PKing as one of their tools, than about the run-of-the-mill PKer who doesn't care about the zombies being winning.)

I looked to write up something that is easy to pick up for beginners, but still teaches some advanced tricks without going to deep into tangents as actions via question marks, or the way that the RG works.

Don't mind the formatting at all, it's purposefully basic and half-assed currently. 1.) My proof-reader this time isn't wiki-savvy at all, and as she devotes her spare time to help me on this I don't wish to needlessly bog her down with tables and other fancy clutter. 2.) The guide will be integrated with Cobra's new page design, which isn't even finally decided yet - don't feel like doing the same work twice. -- Spiderzed▋ 21:30, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Firstly, you mentioned Cutey so that's a big thumbs up! The advice given is good and the sidebars are helpful. There'll always be people who disagree with the weapons distribution issue, but you make it perfectly clear that this is a personal preference so that's not a problem. The only hole I can pick in this guide at the moment is a couple of superfluous apostrophes (it's = it is / its = belonging to it or relating to it), and that's just me being über-fussy. ~~ Chief Seagull ~~ ^talk 10:33, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Page has been moved to main space and has also received its design, now that my proof-reader is done. If I don't hear any further complaints, I'll put it on Guides/Review after the week-end. -- Spiderzed▋ 14:50, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
