Warrior General Games

As we all know, there is a mildly steep learning curve with GLB. Helping new users avoid the same mistakes we all made is a HUGE help to their enjoyment of the game.

That being said, the Wiki and the FAQ forum aren't enough.

What I am suggesting:

For those of you familiar with MailChimp, this will be really easy to understand. MailChimp has a 'personality', a monkey that hangs out at the top of the screen. I've added a screenshot here for you: http://oi47.tinypic.com/29bbjua.jpg

The monkey is on every page and acts as a mildly humorous voice.

GLB should add a 'personality' to be present on every page (it could be positioned on top of the GLB banner). He'd spit out various GLB tidbits (collected from Bort Q&As, the Wiki, building tips, etc.). With every refresh of the page, it'd randomly select another tidbit.

And of course this 'personality' would be fully optional. Capable of being turned off in your account settings. It's mainly aimed at newer users, but there's no reason it couldn't be beneficial for most users with Bort Q&A type stuff.

ib4 a monocle'd Pallow-tar becomes the 'personality'

Would this personality lecture me like bolick or troll me to death like dpride? Because if so sign me up.

lol could you imagine selectable options? Like you could choose jdbolick or dpride as your 'personality'. They'd then mimic their GLB forum personas, lol.

dpride's would tell you to "fix ur builds, scrub" on every player profile, every replay, every game box score you lost. lol

Dpride

*assigns skill points*
"FIX UR BUILD"

jdbolick

*assigns skill points and tries to enter"
""
*tries to assign skill points again...presses enter"

*tries one more time*
"bolick wall of text explaining why you are wrong to assign those skill points there"

We had a meeting today and GLB has been the main topic over the last few weeks. I will suggest this idea at our next weeks meeting because our main discussion topics have been on the complexity of GLB and how that can be a deterrent to new players. This suggestion would be a friendly addition to the newcomers.

On a relative topic, we have added some advertising to various gaming sites, to help drive new players to the game.

For the ads? They are handled by Mochiads. Locating them would be very difficult because they show up randomly on their partnered websites/games.

um just a sec processing this in my braindead state of mind
