Basic basics, or what I wish someone had told me half a year ago

Rafallus: good idea about the differences to Nexuiz intro, but maybe you should make a thread of its own for that, it rather gets lost in this thread and newcomers from Nexuiz might think "oh, this is for complete newbies, I'm not interested" and don't read stuff that's on page 3 of the thread. Just make a thread of your own, then it is visible to Nexuiz players right from the forum overview.
