A Content Call to Arms
Challenges and Articles forum
Posted on March 29, 2016, 12:37 p.m. by Spootyone
Hello all, Spootyone here again with your reminder that we are looking for more content producers for the site! Remember that coding knowledge is unneeded for this task as both I and ChiefBell can take care of that side of things when it comes to formatting an article and editing.
Currently, I'm proud to say that content on this side has not only improved in amount, but also improved in quality and that's fantastic. However, I still feel like we could use with some more regularity, as well as fill in a couple holes in our content-base.
I currently think the site could use a dedicated finance update producer. Given the nature of the average visitor of this site, such an article would likely have to focus on the price change of Casual/EDH staples, but details can be discussed. Note: This would probably be best if NOT a "suggestions" post. (I.e. "Buy this, sell this, etc"). I have gotten in contact with Peter from MTGStocks.com for info regarding the use of his site for information gathering and sharing, as well as for producing content that would ultimately end up similar to his. I can share further details with those who might be interested in pursuing this.
Additionally, we could use someone with knowledge of the Legacy format and/or Vintage format writing pieces every so often. Modern players and Standard players are a dime a dozen, but you Legacy and Vintage aficionados are either a rare or quiet bunch. I know that I personally would love to see the at least occasional piece on the state of those formats or deck archetype spotlights, for example.
It is likely that more spots will become available, and please if you have an idea you want to share with us go ahead and message me about it so I can assess whether or not it's a good fit. Thank you for your efforts, Tappeout community!

Am I doing this right?
On topic, I do have a Vintage deck on MTGO. I might be able to make an effort to play more Vintage and give you guys a scoop there.

Wait.
JWiley129: I'd appreciate further stuff from you! Though I should mention that it seems only a maximum of one post per user can be up on the front page at one time (therefore, one per week). So just keep that in mind. I tried to put up two podcast eps this week of my own and the first got kicked off (and got like no views .-. )

Well, I'm still finishing up my SOI article, so I hopefully won't have to worry about that.

I can contribute to legacy. I play dredge, so losing to some decks and winning against them gives me some insight to how they work.

Raises Coat of Arms. Is this how you do it?
In all seriousness, sadly I cannot offer much in the way of content. However, if by some reason a skill that I have becomes useful I will do my best to write an article about it.

Is this thing on?
Who's the 'go to' person for publishing articles? Also, what are the guidelines for doing so? I was thinking of something along the lines of shining a spotlight on Underdog Commanders (<200 decks according to EDHREC) and/or unconventional/"outside the norm" themes for any particular commander. Let me know if this is something you think might be on interest.
