h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I started writing this article back on the old guide. It started off quite well, but I'm not sure where to take it now. Any advice please??

Well, firstly it's looking like it's only about drunken brawls, so the title should be changed. As for where to take it, well, try coming up with some more techniques for avoiding fights, maybe how they get started in the first place, some techniques for getting OUT of fights - stuff like that?

hi!

is this one still under construction, or has it been superseded by A649749, the ultimate martial art?

Hmmm. I avoid fights by being bigger than most people, but not by enough to make me a target for short-arses with something to prove. And by using Brave Sir Robin's patented technique.

This isn't Hoovooloo, who wrote the Ultimate Martial Art entry. This is Hooloovoo (notice the correct spelling!) who wrote a remarkably similar entry, which has been sitting in Writing Workshop for a really long time. The topic is basically covered in HVL's entry, so what's the proper thing to do with this thread?

Hooloovoo, what do you think? Do you have any plans for developing this entry?

Hi,

Thanks GTBacchus for bringing this back to my attention. I probably wont be doing any work on the entry, and Hoovooloo's entry is pretty much the kinda thing I wanted to write in the first place.

Don't know if anyone wants to have a go at combining the two entries??
