There needs to be flexibility, which, I may add, the CJ guide accounts for.

I don't really understand why the guidelines should be changed. I'm not agin it, don't get me wrong. If we are talking about newbies to the CJ battle, then some of the techniques that we presently use are definitely beyond the newbies understanding. I know that newbies that have gone with an average amount of experience are seeing the guidelines being worked efficiently with a moderate amount of flexibility.
This notion is not somethng of a nostalgia to me as I wrote the guidelines. There isn't a pride in me about them being used. It was the general consensus of most toons who visited that thread that there is a measured amount of flexibility to them. It was written as a minimum of battling technigues that enables a victory. I think if we change the guide too much, we are going to create confusion with toons coming up that have never experienced a CJ, on their toons or having watched another person battle in the CJ. We know that many toons get really upset with losing laff so quickly and not knowing how to compensate for it. That is why the guidelines work as they do. It gives the newbies a comfortable method of battling the CJ until they become seasoned enough to alter their method with a given amount of flexibility.
If we change the guidelines, all the new methods should be footnoted as being methods used by experienced toons. As Craig stated, having read the guidelines, he and his toons sailed through countless CJ's without saduality. He sees changes, not because the CJ changed, but because he becamed a seasoned CJ warrior. Newbies are NOT seasoned, and that is my reason for NOT modifying the document as it is. They can read the other ideas as additional battling information by amendments made below the document, but I suggest leaving the main document as it is as the starting point for newbies.
Does this make sense?
