We have to be careful - as much as I know we are all enthusiastic in our love of TB games, we have to make sure that we don't come across as (a) zealots, pushing an advert rather than a message that "hey, I personally actually love this game", and (b) fake - because if we all hit one source with similar messaging, a hook to ST2 KS, and some consistent graphics, the source might think they smell a rat. We've already had run ins with reviewers where they stopped the "user ratings" and called out the forum in a negative light. If they do that to the KS campaign, that's be a bummer, because it's a very good campaign, and we're progressing really well. So says the wise Cat

slayernz. So you're saying, it's not probably a good idea. Ok Puss. I can go with that. Oh. By the way. Please stop wearing my glasses when I'm not looking. You'll either scratch the lenses, or drool on them, when you're reading about "Cat Lara".

I'm saying it's a good idea, but we have to be careful. "A wise cat treads softly when the path is full of crunchy leaves."
We want to avoid cookie cutter type messages where lots of elements are repeated "A wise cat hunts far from the crazy cat lady's house"
Sincerity and a full personal approach goes a long long way and is better than something that reads as an advert "A wise cat presents a prized dead mouse rather than a box of Friskies"

slayernz so should we all be picking diff publications to pitch to, or you suggesting a stagger, or maybe a general hold off and just one person to send msgs?

Hmmm ... it's the TB's BBQ, and the steak is good, so I'm not going to prescribe the best course of action. However, if you do write up a particularly good email, publish it here on the forum, along with the site that it is written to. That way, the rest of us can see who was hit, when, and with what. It's up to the rest of the forumites whether they want to wait, act now, or try another site for a well-worded reference

Thanks to slayernz for sharing the feline wisdom - I hope it is well taken by all. Spamming and personally getting the word out are two very different activities

The TB's are BBQing? If I could get enough money for a pledge level where Ntsheep could be part of the game, I would hate to think it might be lamb chops served in a spice hall. Hoping to get to fifty dollars. Really hoping the TB's get to 50K
