The Bombers Projects

I have decided that since this group is now formed, that we should take advantage of a great team of writers. So here, I will be posting any projects that will use the great writing abilities of The Bombers. I already have the first one planned but I think I'll let the group settle for a bit until I announce it. Just be looking for it in the next month or so.

A collaborative effort? I might be up for that. Watching this space.

This is gonna be fun. Can't wait. Will this be like a competition again where everyone writes something and the best is chosen or everyone writes a bit about it?

Hm... A group project? Sounds interesting. I really do need to get to work on something of my own, though...

Alright guys, first group project: Redo the whole front page's content. Yes, you heard me right. And the first thing we are going to do is work on each games' content. Here is a list of games and each section that will be required to be done:

- No idea what to put here yet. This is all up to you guys what you want to put.

First, I would like people who are willing to claim full responsibility over a game and all its sections to claim their game first. After those have been taken, anyone who would like to just work on one or two sections of a game can claim them. Also, you can make up sections to add to each game also that you might find benficial to the section (specificly PH.)

Once you claim a game, you take full responsibility of it and I expect you to get it all done. You don't need to get it done quickly but I would like it to take a reasonable amount of time. Also remember that some sections are reference sections where the reader will just be going over it in order to get help on a game (Items and Equipment for example) and others are information sections where people want interesting facts about certain things (characters for example.)

Also, try to keep it as user friendly as possible. Do not get too complicated on the formatting because I will need to be moving it all to HTML. Preferably, if you know HTML take advantage of that and write your content in HTML. That would help me greatly. Also, if you would like any images included you must put them all into a .zip file and send them to me somehow.

Also, this is again front page material so keep the quality as solid as you can and the information as obvious as possible. Do not get things bogged down by too much detail unless detail is required.

This is a community project, so I don't expect every Bombers to participate in it at first or ever, but if you do volunteer for it I do expect you to get it done. If you do not have the time to do it right now, feel free to wait until you do. I don't expect this to be done in 4 weeks or anything. This could be a good year long project. Either way, if you do volunteer and it does seem you are not keeping up to speed at all I will first verbally warn you and then I will give you a warning.

Thanks guys and hopefully this will greatly improve the quality of ZU's front page, which is greatly in need of improving.

Edit: Also, if anyone wants to actually take the time two write a walkthrough for any of these games (except TMC) I would have no problem with that. This is your option, though. If you volunteer to do it I would be as strict about getting it done.

Edit 2: Also, if you want to take a whole game and some of the game has been taken by people who want to do only seperate sections of it, just do the sections they aren't.

I claim TWW, and, later, PH.

AOL's mine - hands off!

I'll also take MM's review if no one wants it.

I think we all know who wants ALTTP!

Hmmmm; decisions, decisions.
MM and LA are my primary areas of expertise (simply because of their glitch culture... which was a big thing for me... so what? You wanna fight about it?) but OoA is my primary focus at the moment.

I think I'll tackle the finer of the Oracles.

I'll take TMC, and if it's okay, TP as well. I know plenty of HTML, so this shouldn't be a problem for me.

I definately think we should leave ALttP for him, or else we might get a Zen/Black Mage fit .

so mmmmm_Pie is going to do OoA, than I take LA.

PIE's got claim on Ages, I think, actually.

^Indeed, Seasons is slice of pizza for lunch, while Ages is the steak dinner to follow. I'll take the steak...

yeah, small little mistake...doesn't matter. I recently beat LA so its still clearly in my head.

OoT is mine! I'd take ALttP but I leave that to Zen. ^^ Damn this is gonna be fun!

EDIT: What exactly do I put into Beta Quest and Prologue? Ok Beta quest is more or less self explanatory but there isn't much there anyway... What about Prologue?

I'll sum up:

Lex: TWW, PH
MDK: AoL, MM review
Pie: OoA
Sentient: TMC, TP
king of termina: LA
Predator: OoT
Uncle: LoZ

What's left: ALttP, OoS, FS, FSA

Curses! All the good ones are gone. I shouldn't sleep! Well, I think I'll take LoZ then, and once I'm done I'll move on to something else.

Link.

That's the prologue from the manual, right? Am I supposed to rewrite it or is it going to be left unchanged?

Argh! Stupid me! Think about the important stuff first!

It's from the manual. I wouldn't change it Though I would add the source for it, like "The prologue from the Ocarina of Time instruction booklet"

Yeah... Also Lem, are we allowed to use the information from the front page on, for example, the heart piece locations? I don't really feel like looking for each and every of them again and I don't know them by heat of course..
And by use the information I don't mean just blindly copy / paste but just as reference.

Sure but try to go far more into detail about how to get them.

I'm very avid in FSA at the moment, but before I volunteer to do anything I'd like a few more details about what exactly this all means.

Are we replacing the existing sections, updating the existing sections, or adding to the existing sections? I'm just wondering what the main concern is and what precisely needs changing. For instance, LoZ already has nice sections of everything you mentioned except a FAQ. Are you planning to keep sections like Box Art, official art, and everthing else that's already online, but not on your section list?

Some of us(myself) might not be very keen on the format. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by html format, and I'm wondering if you could explain it a little more. What program should we use to type up the information, what are some good guidelines? Perhaps you could add some content to ZU's FAQ, that explains how to contribute to ZU, formatting, explanation of html, etc.

Also, I'm not sure a "reasonable" amount of time is the same for everyone. For me, this whole article voting thing blazed by while I was taking exams, and I haven't had time to read through them all and comment like I still intend to. Perhaps you could specify how long is too long. Maybe a month of inactivty on the project could determine a "verbal" warning, just so nobody is surprised(mostly myself).

And finally, I've been interested in game scripts lately, and if you give the word on how to submit them, I'll send in my FSA script, properly formatted(gamefaqs standards), and it will prompt me into making more. This site now seems to be one of the top zelda theorizing forums, and we should have our own section of game scripts for quick reference, instead of relying on the downed LA scripts, or others.
