Suggestions?

What's a neat, fun-spirited, community activity for something like this?



*DRM-laden though it may be.


suggestion 1

not sure how many copies you have but i would suggest one or two copies be given to those who have donated to this site, maybe as a raffle type deal so the amount donated doesnt matter but only that you donated to help the site.

not sure how you can be sure they didnt already buy the game or want it unless they could have a thread to "enter" to be considered.


suggestion 2

simular to suggestion 1 but open to all members and those who donated would be allowed to be in both raffles as extra consideration for donating.

The problem with trivia these days is one just has to google it.

The competition suggestion has merit; should be a game of tactics, patience, and understanding.....qualities I myself do not have ;)

How about an elimination tourney using your original sub game Neal? :hmmm:

First post ( Neals) sums up all that is SH5 right now.

"I have to figure out a way to give this game away".


Yeah, I feel like one of those NGOs in Somalia, trying to give away essential food (not the tastiest but certainly nourishing) and the natives won't accept it and are trying to kill me.

Sgtmonkeynads 04-05-10 07:14 PM

The natives are restless !

I feel for ya man.


It is turning into a great game, needs more work, but it should get there.
It would get there twice as fast if everyone were able to play it though.

SH5 Last man contest
 
How are you gonna prove all the contestants don't already have SH5 !?

Fire_Spy 04-06-10 04:46 AM

Maybe a photo thing like you did ages ago.. where you had close up pics of old sub games and we had to pick which game they were from? They'd have to be hard pics tho.. :arrgh!:

Of course you if you sent one to me then you'd have one less to get rid of! :D

:salute:

That is a very good intention...

Neal a suggestion for the contest...Offer those SH5 copies only to the last that resist with claim "no buy till online DRM is dropped" ;)


pls add me to the "no buy till online DRM is dropped" list :DL

Cheers

My 1000 word essay is done!

Oh! That is SUCH a lie! EVERYONE knows destroyers can't hit you with depth charges in SH5 ! They can only ping you 'til you're deaf !

I do not have internet connection so that sums it up for me,
the whole game. I get my Intarnjet from friends/relatives/anywhere where its free.


With your analogy I should not be able to eat at all.

What promotion of piracy? A crack for this would increase sales, as many people have problems with internet connection and seem not to care the game is half finished. I know I'd buy it if were so, even with all the problems if if had no DRM

Anyway it was a joke, didn't realise the killjoy police prowls the area.

looney 04-06-10 08:39 AM

Why not simply make it random. Make a lost of subsim members (who posted in the last 90 days or so) and asign all of them a number. Find a random number generator on the web and decide that way. PM the winner.

Or any variation on the above

Onkel Neal 04-07-10 12:05 AM

Nice ideas, all. thanks. I think I'll sit on them for now, maybe I can give them out at the meeting in Sept, if there are any attendees who don't have SH5 by then.
