@Pvz300085 I do not mind if you want to make guides as well, but keep these in mind 🙂:
1. If you want to make a duplicate of a guide I have made, you may, but perhaps mention somewhere in your guide about getting the idea from me.
2. If you intend to make multiple guides, if you make a thread with a link to all of your guides, I will add that that link to your threads on this thread here if you want.
3. @benn1nat0r may also want to make some character guides.
4. I think that would be awesome if you made guides and I would read every one!
- @TheSprinter85 It would be great if we shared some of our knowledge about the game, shared it, and could create more elaborate guides. I don't know, it's an idea.
- @TheSprinter85 The hero we don't deserve, even Super Brainz is jealous of you!
Jokes aside, great work so far mate, champion deserved. - benn1nat0r5 years agoSeasoned Ace
@GutmanSca I mean you said it: "The hero we don't deserve."
He made so many incredible posts and I think there should be another promotion incoming soon.
And the Super Brainz joke was awesome 🙌.
@PvZfan121 , @GutmanSca and @benn1nat0r Thank you very much for your kindness! 😃
@Pvz300085 I like that idea, I think that I should finish the guides I have planned myself, however if you have any other ideas I have not mentioned on guides we could make (e.g. daily challenges) you can let me know here or in a PM.

I'm close to finishing my Acorn & Oak character guide. I still need to write a few paragraphs, but most of the text is done. Now I'm editing the pictures I captured to remove user names from random players in pvp to protect their privacy and such.
I'm sure we'll find a way so everyone can make the guide they want 🙂
Just a quick question: How are you able to post your guides? I know this question may sound stupid but I really wonder how you can post them as they are so long. I tried writing a detailed reply to a post yesterday and it instantly got deleted once I posted it. I don't think I'll be able to post my guide if this continues to happen. I mean I'll definitely try to post it once it's finished but I'm scared I'll be automatically banned by the software the forum is using if I try to publish a long post again.
@benn1nat0rHey, hope you’re having a great day. Looking forward to your guides.
Now read carefully, only because I do not want you to lose saves for your posts. When you write a post, it auto saves as you are writing it. If you work on it for too long, it will stop auto saving and you will lose any other work you put in. For this reason, I suggest copying what you have written every so often in case you lose information. When the work stops auto saving, I exit the tab and then reopen it click on new topic, then near the top of your page, it will say that you have autosaved content - load or discard. DO NOT discard or your work will be deleted. When you load your work, you can continue where you left off.
Let me know if you have further concerns with this matter.I also suggest copying and saving your work just before you post it just in case your stuff gets deleted again.

@TheSprinter85 Thank you so much for your post-saving reply! I hope your having a great day as well!
Had I known about the whole auto save thing I could have prevented that post being lost.
I'l definitely make sure to follow your advice on this 😃.
One thing I still wonder about: Does the forum actually delete long posts on purpose or is it bug?
I've read somewhere that long posts or multiple edits to one post are considered "spam" by the forum and it will automatically delete the posts as a result.
Therefore I'm scared that the system will ban me if I post long posts often.
@benn1nat0rI’m going to tell you a little story. Not a massive one, but a little one.
Once upon a time, on the PvZ: BfN forums in Answers HQ, a Community Manager was really impressed with my hard work with making guides and all that. So, they said, would you like to make a thread (this one) with links to all of your guides, so we can pin it on top of the forum. I gladly agreed and here this post is on the top of the forum? Now this is where it gets interesting. I was concerned, what if I edited my first post too many times (I want to edit it many times because of adding links and for other reasons) and it gets caught in the spam filter and deleted. So, I asked this in the General Questions section of the forum and got an excellent response. Link to thread is here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/EA-General-Questions/About-Editing-Posts/m-p/9379232#M348502. The end.
Anyway, my point is, do not worry if your post gets marked as spam and removed. You can let a Community Manager know about your issue (or me if you give details about the post and I will let a Community Manager know), and your post should get restored without any issues.
Do not panic - always good to check these things!- benn1nat0r5 years agoSeasoned Ace@TheSprinter85 Thank you for pointing this out to me 🙂
Bumping this thread back up because I would like to.
If anyone plans on making guides, feel free to make a link thread to all of your current or upcoming guides, let me know, and I will add them into this post. This way, your guides can gain more views.
At the time of writing, this post is pinned to the top of the board, so you can gain more views this way.
Thanks for the support everyone!
OTHER PLAYERS’ GUIDES
This section of the thread is here to commemorate players’ guides (mine not included - see the Original Post on this thread to see my guides exclusively) and to give more visibility to the guides that others have made, so that their hard work be can heavily appreciated and players can find guides on content they want more easily.
I have accepted this solution to give this post more visibility and to make it easier to find and see.
If you would like me to add your guides into this post/thread, simply make a guide link thread like this one, with links to all your current and upcoming guides and I will add it here, and credit you for it. You can request this by sending me a Private Message or by replying to one of my guides I have made. Just include the link to your guide link thread and I will add it here as soon as I get time.
Here are the guides that other players have worked hard on and have done an excellent job on creating, make sure you check them out if you want assistance on the topics:

@TheSprinter85 Thank you for offering other community members to get their guides noticed by including a link to their collections in your thread 😃. By encouraging others to make guides on their favorite topics you had a large impact on the community and brought us all closer together 😇.
I will make a collection of my own and post the link here once I finally get around to making the Peashooter character guide I have been planning to do for so long now 🙂.
- @benn1nat0r Thanks for encouraging me to make more guides and for appreciating the guides that I enjoy making.
Note that I will edit my OP and my other players’ guides once a week to reduce the chances of it being caught as spam.
Thanks community!
