In honour of all the *cough* high quality guides littering..I mean all the well written guides on this thread I have decided to write my very first guide!
A Guide to Writing Very Bad Guides

-FAQ
Step 1- Pick a Topic
Any topic! Anything at all! You also need to choose a subject line. Make sure your subject line does not give the reader any indication of your topic. Subject lines such as "Best guide ever made" or "read this plzzzz" are ideal.
Step 2- Write About It!
Whatever pops into your mind! Make sure to write your ideas in a scattered and disorganized manner. Do not repeat yourself. If it takes more than five minuites of research, then you are trying way too hard. Write what you know! Don't forget to put your thoughts in an illogical order and use plenty of exclamation marks!!!!!!111
Step 3- The Closing paragraph
This is where you request things. Some people like to thank the reader, however this is a great opportunity to beg for things. Ill give an example "THANK yuo for raeding me gide. Plox gives me a full ru0n if my guid3 helps yuo!!11"
Step 4- The lookover
Don't spend too much time on this portion. Just a quick scan to make sure yuo didn't make anymistakes in you gide. Make sure that you didn't repeat youreslf at all. Replacing an "e" with a "3" will make you look v3ry clev3r, but thats an advanced technique only.
This would also be the stage where you assign random colours to your headings.
You could consider adding an FAQ (frequently asked questions), where you would pretend that people actually cared enough to ask you questions. I have demonstrated the proper use of FAQs below.
FAQ
Q: About how long do you think I should play runescape before writing a guide?
A: I would say somewhere around five minutes, depending on your topic. If it's something really broad (such as covering all aspects of one or more skill(s)) then I would suggest a minimum of ten minutes.
Q: How should I go about plagiarizing another persons guide?
A: Well I would highlight it and then press "copy" and then "paste" it onto your post. Don't worry about posting it on another website because they won't notice. Probably. Trust me.
Q: What are your thoughts regarding writing in all capital letters (cap locks)?
A: I THINK IT IS THOUGHTFUL OF THE WRITER TO WRITE IN CAPITALS BECAUSE IT IS EASIER TO READ THE BIG LETTERS! THEY PUT CAP LOCKS ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR A REASON. USE IT! jUST DONT LOOK STUPID BY ACCIDENTLY PRESSING SHIFT AT THE BEGGINING OF THE SENTENCE.
Q: What about images?
A: I would use them at your own discretion, however it should fit the topic. If I was writing a guide on killing Elvarg this is what I sould put as an image.
Keep your images unnecessarily large and make sure they are confusing and irrelevant.
Q: People keep making suggestions like "don't write in leet speak", "this isn't even a guide" and "please remove those pornographic pictures from your guide". What should I do?
A: Simple. Flame them! For those of you unfamiliar with the term, allow me to demonstrate:
Suggestion: This isn't a guide, you have put absolutely no effort into it.
Response (flame): You are a moron! You wouldn't know a good guide from your rear end!
Repeat this for every criticism you receive. I guarantee that your thread will not be locked*.
*by "not" I mean definitely
Follow these crucial steps and you will have the most bad guide on the website. Just keep in mind that you should never, under any circumstances, repeat yourself.
I would like to sincerely thank an anonymous model who's name I won't mention but rhymes with Com Truise.
Questions? Comments?
This is my very first guide so let me know what you think.

I guess they (whoever you are) can't take the hint and put this is AOW!
Do it now!

This is a bit irrelevant, but when u are being attacked by rc pkers drop an ess and your glory. Run strainght to the bank in lumby (when u die) grab a glory (hopefully you have a spare) and run back to where you were pked and pick up your glory. I did this the last 2 times I was pked with complete success. The rcpkers usually pick up your armour and figure that you didnt have a glory to begin with, so they arent guarding it.

Wow I had no idea you all liked my story so much! :) Clown I think you should get a job or something, maby get out a little more often? You sound like you have a lot of pent up rage. I'm really not that bad of a writer, I was bored and did that in less than 15 min. I'm really impressed with all the feedback its generated! On a final note, If you get offended by something you read on the internet then I suggest that you don't go on anymore, people might get the feeling that they are at liberty to express their opinions.

This is the best guide ever made! My name does have numbers, but only 3 people have identified the video game that my name comes from! (google it if your curious). Great work! easily 11\10

In this epic adventure, Mithos discovers the truth behind the 1 million gold piece spawn in level 40 multi-combat wilderness
Chaper, the First
It started as a regular day for our level 60 hero, Mithos. "$hr1mp f0R $al3 3k 3ach p10x!", he yelled in cyan among the chaos of Edgeville. Wavy. He liked it when his words waved.
He was a very keen merchanter. You see, he bought the shrimp for 200 gold each, but now sold it for 3000 each. It was pure genius!. But then again, you donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t get to be level 60 by being stupid, now do you? ThatÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s why he instinctively jumped on the opportunity presented by Pur3 R4|\|ge q4c. Apparently, if one was skulled and wearing over 100k worth items, one could find the spot in the wild (also known as the "wildy" to the elite) where 1 million gold repawned once a minute!! So he put on his rune armour and followed Pur3 R4|\|ge q4c and his friends, also level 70 to 80. Coincidentally they all had some form of the word ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬ÅpureÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃâÃ

That means that out of everyone who read my guide I scored 10 out of a possible 10. 10/10 *100= 100%
