6 promotion shop-talk

[Buster's Uncle]

Hey Nik - I've been swamped this week, so how about you do threads over here with some of the neat stuff Rob has put together?

(Note that the same thing we've been doing to/for each other at our respective forums with the "Courtesy of" linkbacks at the top has been passing muster when I did it at 'Poly - you ought to get in on that action; much better search engine ranking there for spreading the URL, and I've had it to myself for over a month, posting almost 100% of the news and content...)

-Congratulations on staying at it until a lot more people have gotten on the bus chipping in with the news/content posting than here - and having more comments...


Note to Godking - linkbacks.  We're totally cool with having our links robbed -do that, by all means; it grows the whole community if we support each other and are cool with sharing- but give us a credit linkback, please.

[E_T]

Some enterprising person should post a comment in the article.  As the author has stated how the game could be overwhelming, we need to post links to here and WPC, so that he (and his readers) can have a few low stress, knowledgeable persons whom can assist them (without the flames, etc). 

Shoot even advert the upcoming SPDG over at WPC...

On that note, BU, could you post a thread about that here.....   Please???

[Buster's Uncle]

Here, like in Rec Commons or what?   I'll go to trouble to accommodate any reasonable request... 

Oh; you mean the SPDG - if you don't want to start one yourself, (you're certainly welcome to; we've got a cross-promotion partnership of sorts with WPC developed since this Civ 6 thing was announced, so link and pimp away w/ my blessing) it's on my to-do list, but you understand what you have in mind better...

...I see I missed this article when I was going though doing fixups -thanks for bumping so I noticed- so I've got to check the Tom's link anyway today, and I'll see what commenting takes while I'm there...

[Buster's Uncle]

BTW - the MP guys might go in for a demogame, so feel free to do more than one thread -Rec Commons has the same problem, that a lot of the denizens won't notice posts elsewhere- in Command Nexus.  It's cool.

[E_T]

The MP guys are very likely going to see if pitboss works PLUS waiting until the 2nd patch before any possible kick off.  Also, when some won't even have the game at time of an early Start, would be better off waiting.

In a lot of ways, we are rebuilding and need to go a bit slower...  Get the SPDG going and target after new years for any bigger DG's.  Or for things like ACtA!, whom would balance the map?? Or what meta-rules? Hosting Sites?  ALL THINGS THAT require we wait and let things settle out first.

Think about it, CiV Players is prime Tuberski territory with Realms Beyond almost the same.  And f-ing poly...  The apathy is palatable (and don't Blame that crash, I have seen worse), could also tuberski it, but you know how Ming is...

Here, WPC and CFC are the only ones (English) that are even doing Anything... and we are hanging out here and WPC for what reasons???   Timing is everything....

[Buster's Uncle]

Here and WPC because the chilled out culture agrees with us and you can have an actual conversation in our 6 folders in threads not Instantly Long.

So what do you have in mind for doing about the SPDG today?  (That 'post a thread about that here' thing you said above.)

You have my and AC2's complete support - we'll host teams and set up dedicated folders and whatever it takes, if it's needed when it's time later.  I live here and I own the place and I don't need permission; I can just go set it up.

[E_T]

Could you please post something here, if you want, quote my WPC top post (clean it up, spelling, grammar).

My internet is now spotty due to having to live in car and use public wifi.  Currently trying to get as much vids watching and catchup that I can do.  Copy/paste with smart device s#cks big time...

[E_T]

Also, I am going to try to post an 'ad' at the other sites, with links to the discussion at WPC and here.  If you could post suitable links that I can copy/paste in, would be  

[E_T]

I am wanting to attempt to post the Ads on Wend or later, but before the weekend...

[Buster's Uncle]

Oh, okay.  Sorry to hear about suboptimal RL stuff, man.  I'll see what I can slap together by my bedtime, no problem.

[ninja'd]  Sure.  -Mind if I thread surgery all this promotional talk into the thread I started for just that yesterday?

[ninja ninja'd]  Yeah, I'll try to get it tonight.  Please stop posting faster than I can answer.

[Buster's Uncle]

Come to think of it, I was just talking to someone high up at CFC this weekend about mutual support and coventures - and I actually mentioned that they were talking up a team DG at WPC - I can go follow up and link him to whatever you'd want them to see...

[E_T]

The ad needs to be something that weaves elements of, Civ 2 to 5GK; SMAC, X to BNW RT...  in the Single Player DG experience, forging friendships and bonds that were not possible through any other means...  that stood the test of time....

[E_T]

I want something that I can post in the fan forums, at 2K forum, maybe to some of the YouTubers that we have recently been watching.  Someone else can do the facebooks, instigrams The tweets and even a plug or two in the polycast (etc)..?

[E_T]

Anyways, later....

[Buster's Uncle]

Okay - I think maybe you need a graphic and we need to talk about what that looks like first -also, I burned up too much time IRL to do the SPDG justice tonight.  -I am with you, and we'll get something good made.  Promise.

-Since you didn't say no, thread surgery...
