Oh no, of course not, your RP is good, but this is just a guide that aims to help improve everyone's ability to make one.

No sticky requests? No more feed back? Nothing?

Good stuff, sticky requested.
I want to say though that having a war-time RP is tough but fun, especially if people have to command troops. Things can get a little confusing. I would say you should add a clarification about them, maybe talk about how the war scenario started, how many troops each side has, whether or not reinforcements can be called in, if they can be called in-- how many are allowed to be called in, etc.
Edit: I know all of this should be up to the creator, but if they have a bit of direction in how to start things out, it can become much easier to follow later.

Maybe add in about creating a Q&A section, to cut down on in RP ooc posts.

Septimus
Of course! I had originally planned to put that in...somehow it slipped my mind.

Another tip you maybe could add is to see the g-moding thread as well. New RP'ers may not know about the rules thing and that could help.
Post by
Septimus
Yeah, finally got around to putting that in Dralas.

Eh, I don't see what heh, you've got all the points, there fairly clear, not much more you can add really heh. Except maybe a way to try to figure out how to stop something like a Sue or a G-Mod'er heh.

Format
-Formatting your Front Page is very important. A clean, defined, organised front page will create a stronger appeal for people to join your RP.
-A front page that contains necessary information for people who want to join is essential. I recommend having and introduction post, a list of available factions and
a list a list of current roleplayers is always helpful.
Was reading the guide and noticed the typo in bold. Just thought i would bring it up. Really good guide other wise.

Ooo ooo, sept, look at my new rp, and let me know if I set it up right lol.

Heh, it seems alright. Can't find any problems with it. Although, I am going to give the RP's a rest for a while. Exams and something else (For these forums) to deal with at the moment.
