Still trying to absorb it all honestly Kid... That way I can perhaps be of value to help folks with issues or steeper learning curves then mine... You bet it has value. [8D]

You would be the judge of that though Kid. I check in all the time to see what's new but I can do the same through the search option. It's nice to have it all in one place though. You do a great job here.

I think it is worth your time to keep up. It will not stop people from posting questions that are covered in the FAQ. [:D] I have noticed a couple of questions being asked (gameplay) that could be added to your FAQ. The only thing that makes it a little user unfriendly is that the categories are hard to find, just found them now in the header. Maybe if the category name was bold in the actual top of the post, it would make looking for answers easier. Also I can start posting thread links to the Q&A thread to questions people have if you want. Thank you for all your hard work.

Might be a good idea to separate it into different topics...

they are seperated they are in the very top of each post as the header, hence kind of hard to notice.

I check it from time to time when I have a question (before I post it anyway). Most of my questions are answered there
or by a search of the forum (though wading thru sometimes 30 threads is tedious) only after I have exhausted or given up do I post a question.

I say keep it for the newbies. I was a lurker for a long so I have seen most of the questions (or my brain says I have) and the "why was this done" explanations. Besides I already copied it so I do not have to go online to find an answer.

I still check it about once a week. It's gotta be good for the new folks, or at least one would think.

They are quite usefull, KID, and I hope you continue them. I find that I often
forget to check them in my eagerness to see what piece of malarky my fellow
posters have come up with lately..., but when searching for an answer they are
a great "first stop" and often save a second one.

Just an impression, but the FAQ seems to assume that the reader is familar with Uncommon Valor. Not all of us are. (Not a complaint, just a comment.)

Yes, it is worth your time !!!! I use your FAQ in the "Unofficial WITP strategy guide" and I believe this FAQ is a great tool for all the WITP beginners (and the not-so beginners !)

The FAQ really helped get into the game and I still refer to it quite often. Thanks for your hard work Kid! [&o]

I my look at it from time to time as I run across some things that don't seem quite right. But I've played the game enough now that I think I have encountered and figured out most of the puzzling areas. There seem to now be a steady of trickle of new players that will find the FAQ very useful, but as they gain famaliarity with the game, they will need it less and less. Maintaining it probably depends on the value you place in supporting the volume of newer players vs the time it takes to keep it up.

Anything that helps people understand this complicated game is worth it in the long run.

I find that FAQs are really useful for players coming into the game 6mos+ after release. Those of us who bought on day 1 have followed the boards, etc. Newbies, IMHO, are reassured by a nice FAQ that helps them w/o sorting through millions of posts.
