Can a native english speaker edit the tips text?

Post by Barberserk »

It's useful enough, but it is clearly written by someone that doesn't have english as their mother language, and there are mistakes, grammar mostly, sometimes different terms used to describe the same thing, mainly the numbers on the cards etc. I think in the past I corrected some parts but now that I reread it (because I keep losing games and I need a change of tactics for sure, heh, that's another topic) I can see it still needs... a lot of work. I could try to do it, but I might need to google stuff, use dictionaries, etc. to make sure I make it all neat and proper. I am also not entirely sure I know the game terminology well enough to do all this quickly. I encourage anyone with a really good grasp of english and with some literary skill and lastly, plenty of experience in Faraway, to edit this: https://en.doc.boardgamearena.com/Tips_faraway I aknowledge the original writer has valuable advice but let's help him get the message through and not get it lost in translation, sometimes.

Tried my best to improve it. I don't even know how to get to a wiki entry from a game page, but I stumbled across this request & I hope it helps somebody.

Underneath the game window there's a tab called "strategy".

Somebody removed a lot of text from the Faraway tips (more than half in character count) in December but stated no explanation why.
