What guide exactly are you talking about? I found a total of three
guides over there: tang.txt (newbie guide - May 12, 1999), guide.txt
(strategy guide - November 29, 1993), and guide2ed.txt (updated strategy
guide - May 17, 1997). These are all mirrored on my spoiler site.

You may have noticed that I hardly ever post anymore. You may also have
noticed that I haven't updated the spoilers for 3.0.9. There is a reason
for that - I have to much too do and too little time, and Angband just
isn't high enough on the priority list.
So if "work with him" entails any time consuming contribution from my
side, I'm afraid it won't work. If, on the other hand, "work with him"
is synonym for "send him that finished guide ans ask him to add it to
his spoiler site", then I will of course gladly do that! I have long
been hoping that someone who is better at playing Angband than I am
(read: someone who is able to actually beat the game) would take the
time to write a new strategy guide.

Earthquake, like Morgoth's shattering attack, can work to your advantage
by destroying LOS from monsters to you, though the flip side is of
course that your LOS to the monsters is also gone. It's also a quick way
to get rid of many monsters if you're in a crowded area.
Best, Hugo
