None 29 - Red Scarlet 52 - Deuce ex Defcon 20 - Gbness 60 - odino (Toughest matchup yet. odino is a wonderkid nowadays though. Devin has improved a lot. Really tough decision.) 28 - War Doc 12 - CyricZ 21 - me frog Really good bracket here, every match except Red Scarlet's was tough. --- Psycho Penguin rules! .. and wrestling will never be the same again. :( MDTerp4Life | Games Beaten: 16/52 |

61 - DomZ Ninja - Interesting choice, I really didn't think a guy
naming himself DomZ Ninja would have quality work, but I was surprised.
The guy's a nicely new upcoming writer and his work's very well done.
He's got good info, a solid layout and over all, nice work. PP has a
ton of guides, but his layout and editing skills could use some work. I
noticed a ton of inconsistent line breaks throughout his works and just
inconsistent layouts all around. His info's good and he's covered a ton
of well known games, but I feel DomZ Ninja has an upper hand here. 29 - Red Scarlet - I think Red gets the vote handed to him/her this round. I can't read any of B.lu4r's work except 2 pieces, as the rest are in Spanish. Even what's in English, they're not too impressive and definitely need some layout and tuning up work done. Red's done an amazing job in translations and takes my vote here. Red's info's also really good, but he/she could edit some of their guides, as I noticed some oddities here and there, but it may just be the GameFAQs system screwing up, as I've noticed by refreshing my page, the oddities are sometimes fixed. 52 - Deuce ex Defcon - I really liked this guy's work. Nice, clean layout, very well detailed work, this is another fine example of a perfect FAQ imo. I can't really suggest on how to improve, but keep it up :) DSimpson's work's also great, but the layout turned me off a bit. I liked it, but comparing to Deuce ex Defcon, I feel he's the better this time around. Abstain - I can't really choose here. Both writers have some great info, but their layouts are turning me off. Gbness has a basic layout, as does strawhat, but with their faults. Gbness, a lot of his FAQs don't have a quick, easy way to browse the FAQ for info, unless it's a huge RPG, like his FFIX FAQ. Otherwise, you have to browse through text that looks all the same, with no distinguished areas of where a section begins/ends clearly. I think if he changed this, he'd easily qualify as a top writer, as his work's great. Same goes from strawhat, a bunch of your guides have basic layouts, with some having pretty decent ones. You should try and tweak this imo, it'd make your work perfect as well imo. Just remember this is constructive criticism and I really can't choose who's the better, you're both top notch :) --- "Is there ever a bad time for pudding?" - Captain Murphy |

Abstain - Jesus Christ, I don't know what to do here. Devin, did you
rig this? :P J/k, but man, one of the top writers against the best new
up comer who pumps out a FAQ on almost a daily basis with enough info
to make anyone cry. Alright, I'll break this down, starting with Devin.
Devin's one of if not the longest running FAQers here and his work's
never diminished in the slightest. He's always gone for the basic,
clean, easy layout with nothing but straight to the point info, never
filling any area for an easy KB. His work's just solid, it's really
hard to compete against him. If any newer writer is looking for a
guideline on how a FAQ should be, by all means, start here. That's not
to say he's without his faults, as I like Devin's layout, but he could
improve in some areas. As for odino, Jesus H. Christ man, we joked at E3 about CJayC looking like a Hal6000 computer, but I'm pretty sure that's you now :P odino covers a TON of FAQs and pumps them out at ludicrous speeds, but I don't agree much with his layout. Some of his works are great, others are lacking and very basic. While good, I just feel it could be improved on. So, in closing, I really, really, can't choose here. Both are solid writers and have an immense volume of work on the site, but if odino keeps this up and improves upon his editing skills, I think he could surpass Devin. Devin, turn yourself into a Hal6000 and get cracking! :P 28 - War Doc - This was a pretty easy choice. War Doc's got an amazing layout with very detailed info. Like Arcade games much? :P Loved his work, another prime example of what to study on how to make a FAQ. Don't improve a thing, just keep doing what you're doing. As for Wolf Feather...wow. Editing skills, please. You have an ungodly habit of line breaking constantly and I noticed MASSIVE huge line spaces throughout your guides, and I don't believe it was my browser. Could definitely, definitely use some layout tune ups as well, your info's good, but your layout heavily turns me away at looking at your guides from a reader's point of view. 53 - Yami Shuryou - Another two set of great writers. My only qualm with CyricZ was his layout. It's basic, but too basic. I also noticed your search function in the ToC could use some tweaking. For example, you have, say 9. Forest with A. Section 1 B. Section 2. Now this is apparent for majority of your guides; it'd be easier to blast to these subsections with say 9. Forest following under with 9A. Section 1 9B. Section 2. Otherwise, depending on the length of each section, the reader has to browse and browse. Your info's great but tweak this a bit and you'll have it. As for Yami, nice info and layout all around, keep up the great work. 21 - me frog - me frog wins this round. I didn't care much for Mystic Weirdo's work, mostly to his layout and lack of ctrl+f search feature. Tune up your guides a bit and make it easier to search, along with some basic layout art and just keep writing :) me frog's also got great work, but his layouts a tad better, just needs some tuning as well. Definitely enjoyed his work, keep it up! --- "Is there ever a bad time for pudding?" - Captain Murphy |

4 - Psycho Penguin (Close, but Steve does take this one with quality writing, though some of his works are over formatted) 29 - Red Scarlet (Red Scarlet rules it big time, dishing all the possible info you would ever need DW/DQ related) Abstain 20 - Gbness (Rich has... stayed the same as he was last year. However, that is not a bad thing as he is quite the writer) 5 - DBM11085 (odino is a stud for the completion project to be sure, but Devin still has him as Dev writes a solid file and is able to cover brand new stuff as well ass older stuff) 28 - War Doc (the Marine is the man, digging out all info needed for a game, whether it is strategy, scoring, or intriguing info, he has it going on) 12 - CyricZ (Yami happens to run into the most overdue to win author out there, and Yami is no slouch either. Cyric is the man, my personal pick to go all the way). Neither --- 72 FAQs for games never covered at www.GameFAQs.com. DIVISION 6: WORD |

Haha, how true, I have yet to churn out a new guide since then. The
prolific tourney came, like, two weeks before I could overcome my
laziness and churn out my newest guide. =P --- Woof. Visit board 571756. #32454 ;; FAQs: 38 - 7037KB ;; I.W.W.H.T.Q. |
