[A] A Bedouin's Guide to the Azeroth (Horde aid would be appreciated too)

OOC info:

Have you ever watched the movie "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" or read the book ?
Well it's my favourite one, and i was thinking of a new RP idea. A book that writes about everything in Azeroth, written by a bunch of adventurer editors. Sounds good ? Well i need some editors to make that happen. I don't care if you're a Death Knight, Necromancer or a Thug, if you have a good sense of humour and information about anything, you're the man.

Volume 1 will be about the cities, where to stay, where's safe/where's dangerous etc etc.
Volume 2 will be about the Eastern Kingdoms, followed by the Volume 3, Kalimdor and the list goes on and on.

Interested ?

Douglas Adams is one of my heroes. I would -love- to aid you in this!

Happy to offer advice and fluff about Lordaeron and all the colourful aspects of Forsaken society.

Brilliant, tell me what do you want to write about and i'll add you as editors

Well I can write about Arathor expertly! But I can pretty much research and write anything ye' need!

Y'know what, i won't add the expertise, so much confusion. Welcome aboard

Old (Blood) High Elf tip for adventurers without any combat skills: bring a hydraulic phase shift emulator that you can attach to a transdimensional photon particle emitter.

Useless if you don't make any explosion, technology means explosion.

I'd happily be an editor/writer.. y'know for zombie stuff.

Gilnean and night elven culture and history!

Woot woot ! Adding you two

Would be nice to get some artists doing some drawings for this as well. Sounds like a great idea, might have to add some info.

Silly human, it's how you build advanced fortifications.

Or in the words of Master Suncloud of the United Blood Elf Engineers' Union:"Bam! New tower."

Actually i'm trying some stuff on Adobe Illustrator but it seems hopeless.. We need artists, aye. Good point

And one more thing, how do we transfer and translate it to the horde side, that's the issue

I can do some 3D creations for it, just let me know what you need. Be a nice fun little project. How do you mean translate?

Well it's written in common ICly, we need to translate it to the ZUG ZUG
(I didn't decide the artwork concept yet, if you have an idea go ahead !)

Will try and make some little bits and bobs tonight if I get time. Just hire a elf to translate

Cool ^^ want me to add you as an editor ?

Sure why not.

*Raises hand* I'm up for it, though I am unsure how Sullee would ICly get involved in writing such a thing. I -do- want to write it from his perspective though.

Sure mate, what about the cartel stuff -from Sullee's eyes- ?

Right! Just an update.. How specific do you want to go regarding places? For example Stromgarde, should I include interesting sights? Notable people? Where's the best bacon sandwich?

Yesyesyesyesyes! Crucial information!

Also this is a really cool initiative, if only I was more convinced in my writing in my 2nd language I'm very much looking forward to the result though!

You've read the book i guess, so you know that there's no boring stuff in it. I mean if you're a "Bedouin" (The real meaning is "homeless arabs, travelling with a camel") you wouldn't want to learn the places history, the thing we're focusing on is "how you can survive whilst having fun". So yes, the best beacon sandwich it is.

Well english is my third language, i'm not insisting but you can try and write some stuff. It's all about fun, we're not your grammar teacher
