Idea to increase turn chat participation

[Strider]

Here it is:

Many citizens may not know how, can't, or don't want to download IRC. We might be albe to increase citizen prepecipation if we have a link or something that loads up the java applet directly to the #demogame. (Like TF has one for the #CivFanatics).

well, its on the chat-screen and in the "what is" thread i think. TF put it in there after our request

 

[Strider]

If it is we need to put it in a better place.... I've read most of this forum and I havn't seen it.

maybe donsig could put it in the turn-thread?

Donsig is retiring...or is tiring again...something like that...

 

[disorganizer]

well, i used "donsig" as a placeholder for the new president then ;-)

 

[Strider]

Ok... then. maybe Chieftess can do it

Maybe another idea is to send beer to all citizens participating in the chat (or coffee). Or maybe pay them gold to do so (like a currency, where you get an amount of money every turn-chat you attend. also for other duties you get money. you will be able to get really rich in here).

What will they spend it on?

Maybe we can start a grocery storw and citizens have to buy food, they can join the military pick jobs etc.

 

[disorganizer]

they could have to pay to move cities for example ;-)
the further they move, the more they pay. the cities majors may set the amount to be payed to move to the city for example ;-)

 

[Strider]

If you do have it like an RL RPG with grocery stores etc. We could have more people join,because of the RPG.

Working out a way to make Demogame into an rpg, where each citizen does things like this, well it might work, I suppose yes.

 

[disorganizer]

this would be a great idea. the civ3 rpg.
in realtime!

Should we start a discussion thread on it?
