Will it draw users in? Perhaps. I'm hoping so. Any more ideas?

Ideas so far:
Banner competition w/ prize
Writing competition
Plot twist

I second the writing competition. ithink that'd be fun to read~
the only problem there is mule voting and people just voting for fun and not reading the entire entry~ (if you do a popularity vote for the post or thread)

I also think it'd be fun to have a plot-twist contest. maybe if you gave an initial prompt and people would submit some epic plot twist on top of the other. lol that could be really amusing.

I'll add it on the list. That plot twist thing is right up my own alley.

We can try to solve the mule issue at a later date, as it will always be an issue. When we manage to start the competition, we can what to do about that problem. Password based maybe?

Are password based polls possible?

No. sweatdrop
BUT, we could send out passwords. Unless you've spent all your free time recruiting mules at the request of main account holders, we shouldn't have to worry about mules much. Far as I can tell, crew, vices, and captains are the only ones who can recruit someone.

The only ones who'd get the second half of the password would be those who actually look at those announcements. The first half would be given to active crew, vice, Captains. They send us the results of the poll with the second half as the title, and we'll know they aren't mules.

As for the password? Something silly.
The cow went kablam.
Purple is super tasty
Quagsire goes "How disrespectful".

Something that doesn't make sense, and has to have been given by a commanding officer.

To be on the safe side, have you spotted places to record those passwords?
Having a lot of the available crew around to have a say also works.

For the time being..no. However, I've got pocket change saved up for a new subforum. As a prize for some plot twist, or as a Crew/+ only posting area. I just haven't implemented it yet, as I'm still trying to decide if we need one more subforum.

You could allow for the group to have a say on matters if it helps.
I'm all for the idea to let everyone speak their minds, I'll even pay for it in cash if need be.

I'd like to avoid the frequent use of Announcements, likewise, those that actually post here or lurk here would likely be the ones who have to scan through that huge list of Subforums to get to it. While I'd love input, its a post I'd make on the front page. o.o'

It's not meant to be inclusive, but it is a matter of values. If they haven't made a single post since joining and don't plan to, their opinion doesn't do me much good.

Well we are gonna need more ideas the last time I checked.
Even the occasional lurker may be welcome so long as they can respect the rules.
