I was thinking we could try to host a few gaming competitions. Nothing too crazy obviously, probably just some specific titles that more than a couple people play, and see if we can try and get high scores.
Maybe if we can figure out a way for us mods to pay for things we could even do some sort of awards for the winners
We can use these competitions to form external centers of gaming communities, outside the spheres of influence of Leftists who seek to destroy any actual communal cohesion.
I was thinking something smaller for the next couple months, get the idea down of what we should like to try and work on, then expand out and use it to invite people to the board.
So, maybe have a 3-5 games selected with up to 10 people familiar with them, try to win a couple prizes. Participants have to be members of the board with enough comment history to guarantee that they're not just crazy Leftists trying to subvert shit and hurt people.
Use the experience of that to advertise on other boards, maybe even social media, to bring people in. Come for the relatively winnable prizes, stay for the conversations and community.
That's not a bad way to go about it. I just worry we wouldn't have enough people here to make it more tournament style instead of just s social club, though I guess that's just fine for now too.
The hardest part would be setting up for the team games like CS:GO or DotA.
RTS' and arcade fighters are usually the easiest, though I'm not sure how many play them here. It kinda feels like the userbase skews more towards single player games.
Social Club is basically where we have to start now.
I don't even think we need to have like full on multi-player matches atm.
