I need a few days to make a well written summary, which i said i was going to write. I need to get the facts and all my refernces together before i can "dive in". I hear what your saying but at the same time, i dont think it is too much to expect of what i ask. I dont want a conversation, we have plenty of those. what i want is well written paragraphs of peoples overview of the game. It really is asking the quesion can you write this? and the answer can be yes or no. If you can then please by all means and if you cant why would you go out of your way to write something not in relation. you said i have no real direction but i dont see what you mean, i laid it out and the direction is what the writter wants it to go. within reason of course, i dont want you to trail off and start talking about coperations and gas conglomerats.
Just respect the OP.
"The way you currently have the topic opened up as, it will be hard to get going, and even harder to keep going. It's too broad at the moment, with nothing to 'bait' people into the conversation. Nothing is there to get the topic started/conversation going."
what am i too asume of people? its just step Re-evalute, then write a overview. If i can do it, then the next man can. I think highly of those unless they show otherwise. Reguardless i believe that everyone here has the potential to write something grand. I have said, take your time. I didnt wish for this to become another discussion thread; what i wished for was this thread to be something one can open up and begin to read indepth analysis of peoples thoughts on the overall structure of the game. we all have our pro's and con's, some just con's and some just pro's but reguardless i know we have alot to say about them.

As i said before, i want people to open this thread and see well written paragrahs, even if its just 1 as long as its well written.
Essentially you are saying you desire people to write testimonials. Certainly nothing wrong with that.
Certainly not unreasonable, but don't dismiss Tesunie's point. If you try to hard to "isolate" each one, you will stifle your own thread. Having those testimonials certainly can give the structure you desire for your thread, but the conversations, connecting each event, from differing perspectives, will be the tendons that hold it together. And keep it from folding under it's own weight. Too dry, too serious, and your OP will wither and die.
So definitely, put your own together, give the skeleton you wish to use through it, and then listen to Tesunie. Nudge it, take harsher steps when needed, but don't stifle it. This is not our jobs, This is not college, or school work. We are here because it is a game that we (hopefully) enjoy. I get you want it "your way". But simply be flexible. The results may surprise you. And after reading your treatise on the MWO at a Glance, as it were, I may feel inclined to lend a credible piece of my own time and circumstances willing.
Cheers.
