Once again, I did not write this and I give full credit to the author Haley and Thank her for making such an excellent piece of work. It is merely posted here so that it will be easily reached by all in need. I copied it exactly from this site: http://geocities.com/wild_moon02/v1/index.html
T H E B I G B A T T L E P L A N Step one: The bare bones of battling So you want to be a big bad battler? That, my dear, can be arranged. There are certain fundamentals intrinsic to this recreational, injurious game, fueled by bitter anger and depressing hatred that people so enjoy with such enthusiasm to the point that it makes one wonder: what is wrong with them? Surely something is wrong with someone who enjoys pretending they are a blood thirsty horse! Those who have such aforementioned admiration for the sport have perfected it, or at least like to think they have. However, to become a true great, you have to not only think you are a skilled battler, but know that you are, as well as knowing that others know you are and fear fighting you because of that complex fact. Now, explaining my "certain fundamentals" is a task I will attempt to be eloquent in describing, however, forgive me if I'm terse. 1.) Are we intellectual? If not, then I'm not willing to teach someone who's not willing to learn.
2.) Can we take constructive criticism? If not, I suggest we learn how to.
3.) Do we have a knowledge of the horse's body? If you don't, you will learn, and I will be willing to teach you about it.
4.) Can you accept defeat gracefully? This is a task less easily said than done, but you will have to learn fighting etiquette here. Give a blow, receive a blow.
5.) Haley has an Issue with grammatical correctness. We will not misspell. We will not neglect the use of apostrophes where they are needed, but we will not use them in great excess so we look Shakespearean. We will not use words that don't exsist. We will not use words that are not used in their proper context to sound pompous because all we're doing when we do that is make ourselves look bad when we do this. We will not use legitimate words that are in a foreign language. We will capitalize what needs capitalizing (there is an exception if you write in lowercase for your style) and we will put spaces in between sentences.
6.) We will improve our English vocabulary and we will become more verbose and eloquent.
7.) We will learn tactical genius in the sport of battling so that we may aspire into greatness.
8.) We will put heart and effort into every post we make, and at minimum length our posts will be six detailed sentences long, not including dialogue.
Onto Step Two
