Hello all, I'm back! Anyway, I need the assistance of all you Ad Mech guys out there. I'm going to type out my skitarii list for a tournament on Saturday, and I was wondering on how to make it all mechy. Should I consider borders? The only thing that I am sure of is that it needs to be worded like an Ad Mech file. I really need some help, so all help will be very much appreciated.

You could put in references to other articles and datafiles, such as when mentioning an event or planet, you could put in (Ref. Art628255017/InsertPlanetNameHere) ?
You could also put an Imperial quote on the bottom, ie: Thought begets Heresy.

Tip 1: Use Console font.
Tip 2: Use light green text on black paper.
Tip 3: Put a green AdMech symbol in one of the top corners.
Tip 4: Maybe format it like below?

LOADING FILE - FORCEDISP.adm (AdMech Symbol in opposite corner)

+Troops+ (X bytes); //Total point cost for all troops goes here

Unit (X Bts); //Total points cost for unit goes here
-Upgrade (X Bts);
-Upgrade (X Bts);

//Continue this format with other units and force org slots. Semicolons are important. Don't forget them (reference to code languages)

...FILE LOADED - FORCEDISP.adm [Total X Bts]

I've already put a system start and end, along with a few litanies to go with it. I'll go with the ideas that you guys have suggested. Maybe not the black paper though.

At the end of your post, where you put "...File Loaded". Where would I use this?

Sounds good
Post a picture when you're done with it!

Very end, after all of the force org slots are done.

I'm not sure how I can show you the draft on here. Just for fun, I've also translated the whole thing into binary, so I just have a page of binary!

I do have both english and binary though.

Good idea on the binary, maybe have certain non-important sections of the roster written in binary or tech-cant!

What is tech-cant?

Canting is the act of transmitting Binary or speaking Lingua-Technis (Auditory Binary)
