Inactive Players

There have been some significant improvements on the site lately. I think that if some of our inactive players knew about it they would play again. There are less glitches in live games, the site loads faster and there is less lag. It takes a lot less time to get live games started than it used to. There have also been several new maps (Eastern Asia, Tor, World Modified, Dominican Republic, Europe, Tamriel) Below is a partial list of members who have played more than 30 games but have not been active on the site in the last 30 days. If you remember any of these players then send them a message and tell them about the improvements to the site and ask them to come back and play a game. We don't want to spam them so please only message them if you think they will remember having played you. I think the server can handle a lot more players now so lets get some of these guys to play again. rgenandt arclight17 cody224 Emmdizzle tehranimobile WithAQuickness jwg1994 meazza Mustadio gki7 bigdjuggalo k-e-n Bardugo12 Demian KadeThorngage thepurplelark lowlander22 Libra eejit12 Seph macthehack dansam20 nuftoby moseleyfan k0canada613 ARMAS kingwicked nina88 sasko rubntug mickydee Sweeper razarac vasil Epsilon thack665 kickass travsirois jcquinif luvero Cian andrejns93 lucide fxwar ruso appeal wacobudiselich dang1 landslide juanma88 dickensthe9 kawe jad283 Maxpegasus HectorGallardo alcidesln toposcrat schiltronuk kipper gecegezen qola chopchew FartParticle Vulpis dpods kikis AngusJustice vonweil AresGodOfWar geppu Styloke keetje ainvar rampage4 1987 lawsondj11 7AceAdrian AJSquirrel bramvs ablamore DICKMONGLER74 grym zubermensch beuker piratm viriato andrewg-10 harp11 Rufina-Tomoyo iceteaboy izzach flavitie jorgerodriguez android aziz hubbabubble blackkness vedalitas fckmonkey Col_Mustard drifthunter Alphaelephant LIL_APPLEHEAD Donkey VALLEC11 santas22 headsh0t mongo_anytime jlmartinez94 Sidiaz GallusCaesar Copout sdh_ Marwan66 uzar94 HellasKing Blizzard417 wowzerz lolural kells2legit pepi divljak7 crazyivan2010 danxf11 GoldEagle maks Killface Fahrenheit26 Flynner13 Moniker DanDaviesxD bronconation eldjarn hitmanjustin LordVader Zoob crazypinkytexan ServeGod3 rtm32 tippy onstrangertides skate2death_420 sir_smokesalot HutchFinn OFWGKTA hugocat angel 12321 ryanoclair radclnb Wolvesbane WhiteyPowers thart stroosie NeypoUno jambrosi Some cheaters have been left off the list for obvious reasons.

Vexer, I agree that this site needs more players, but I also think this site needs more supporters - I am mainly referring to developers. We need more developers to customize new rules just like Capitol games which is a feature that I don't see other risk game sites have. Another suggestion is how this site can be improved so that players will be willing to pay (if they have money) and/or contribute (if they have talents or ideas). I like the idea that if a player created a good map, he/she can get one year Premium Membership. That is currently in place now, but hey, what about other talents or contributions? There should be an award system to facilitate player's contributions such as: [list type=decimal] [*] tournament organiser [*] game rule idea creators [*] game strategy guide writer [*] forum supporter [*] player supporter [*] etc. [/list] All the above tasks can be taken out by an ordinary members rather than only restricted to Site Admins, but only if you can provide some incentives. The incentive can be membership, access to information (such as strategy guide or in game conversations), # of max games, etc Of course all these requires programming efforts, but hey you want to attract more players and keep them stay..that should be the way.

i would love to be a tournament organizer :D

k_w_cheng as the site grows you are right we will probably need more help than we already have but at the current moment we have plenty of staff to field the concerns we have to address. As far as the tournaments go they need access to the database in order to setup the games, hand out the rewards, etc. We don't have a specific panel to do that so it would need programming to have someone solely for that. It is not something high up on our priority list though considering the other things that are much more important before a tournament would really be worth the time. Right now they consist of practically the same members each time. Vexer, Glanru, and Matty have been doing an excellent job upgrading the different glitches and panels that we need to make our site look presentable and enjoyable. We have made huge strides in the right direction and pretty soon will start looking into updating our game options. We feel with new game options comes a new found intrest in the site for old players that have left the site and for new coming in. I hope that you all stick with us as we continue to grow and the updates keep coming in.

I was thinking the other day. if we can get to the password protected games, than a tournament organizer could make a game with the right maps and settings, set a password, leave the game himself, and tell the others to join it That way he could easily start a new game without the need of database access. He cannot return points or give extra points for a game, but still, we could have tournaments this way. Now just to implement password protected games, but most bugs are fixed, and I think it can be done ;)

Would work for players that had not met game limits... but for those who are at the five game limit they might not be able to participate. PS I could be a tourney organizer.

maybe both me and crystal can be tourney organizers

That isn't out of the realm of possibility Matty. There will have to be a discussion though here in the near future regarding the way the tournaments go. I'll explain what I mean after I have thought it over some more.
