Video Contest!

[riske]

First off childrens video has 800 views in 3 days.

First off, does a view count as soon as you load the page, or after you view the entire thing?

Second, it doesnt matter if it gets a million views, if noone goes and checks out the game after.


Yes its funny, no it doesnt promote SS in ANY way other than all the related links at the side.

[kthx]

JabJabJab just wants to win the monitor so basically ignore everything he has said, funny is funny, and watching that video as an outsider might actually MAKE PEOPLE WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT TRENCHWARS is about, not scare them away. We all know what jabjabjab wants and captain poopface is a moron, this video is the best video as of yet.

Jab i think youre clearly mistaken.

First off childrens video has 800 views in 3 days. Not only is it good for advertising, its also going to create rivalries with other squads. (like the old pallies videos) Making fun of hitler shouldnt be offensive to anyone (well give or take a few racist white guys) (pee pee sock?)

The idea of the video is to get people just to try it, the problem we will have with any video is, once they download the game its going to be up to them to play it. Showing them zombies events isnt going to do much to influence them into playing. But being humerous and showing them a competitive community will be.

Does not fit for advertisement.

I honestly do not understand why people take these same measures about comedy & other crap avaliable and tie it down to things like subspace and try to get people in it?

I agree to captain poopface because of two things:

The fact that there is no distinct relevance.

The fact that this contest was focused for outsiders.


The way I go about advertising SubSpace is through openly suggesting the possibility of Developing, aswell as a small, kind, and a fan-run community.

Take note of the audience. Some people could be German, that can also take offense to this. This is a very touchy and risky method of advertisement, and someone could possibly flag & remove it.

There are also children who play this game, aswell as the age-target for advertisement, who do not find things like "Fuck" and "Shit" and also is a bad influence. These days, parental control has gone mainstream, so seeing advertisements like of this can result in parental backlash and deciding not to let their children play "such a thing".


Honestly, In my current place, I am okay with the video, but I'm sure alot of people can be turned off by this, so I do not see it as a stable viral video for a main-page advertisement.


To be honest, I did not find the constant barrage of "JOIN US NOW" appealing at all.

I know that alot of people will backlash at this post, but I am correct. This is only good for people "inside the community".

Children's video isn't so hot. Nobody will give a crap about the name drop circle jerk. Inside jokes are called inside jokes because they are incomprehensible to outsiders, and it's outsiders the contest is supposed to attract.

For one thing, it could be any game at all. There's nothing distinctly TW or SS about it. Every game has its long and storied hierarchy of people who have taken it too seriously for too long. Not only does that make it seem like a closed loop from the outside, but in TW's case, many of these players are pathological assholes. They're also irrelevant to someone new. Make the game the focus, not the assholes who play it.

Keep it short. Give people some idea of what the game is about. Don't make people read until after you've definitely gotten their attention, and then keep the reading short. Guys substantially outnumber girls in the player base, and young kids won't have the patience for an old game with crappy graphics, so your target audience is pretty well defined. Don't forget the high correlation of interest among stoners, too.

Yeah, it's a funny video, but it's not original at all. I've seen atleast 3-4 variations of the same footage.

Thanks for copying my post from the other thread.

Yes, Children's video is really good. I'm not sure how other people who don't play this game would sit through the whole thing, but it's just amazing for us Subspace folk.

[Ricko]

children's video is the tits LOOOOOL

[JabJabJab]

Yeah :P but I also want that monitor too (so you got to play by the rules if you want the monitor) It's a good thing if you get alot of hits tho.. Im just talking about the prize.

[kthx]

Lol, look at jab pretending like he has some say in this, the whole point of this contest is to get hits for www.trenchwars.org and get some new people to try the game, not about who can dick each other out with (made up) rules for their own greedy thoughts.

[HateTheFake]

shush

[JabJabJab]

Well stated by the rules, Ease has to accept this video with the other people noted in it to be considered "contest worthy" so we will see...
