I think most of us would agree that the Captain Forever series deserves more attention than it has received so far. I've tried to do my part by writing this article: www.tech-gaming.com/?p=1742 and occasionally podcasting or tweeting about it. I'm wondering if anyone has any good ideas on how to help promote the series, perhaps a sort of Captain Forever street team? Keep in mind that any and all strategies would need to be polite and unobtrusive. The last thing we want is to spam or upset people.

So, you're saying dressing up in symmetrical clothing and yelling at people that "[Their] unbalanced form is repulsive!" is not the way we want to go? *coughs* Anybody want to buy a gently used megaphone?

I agree with the OP, We have way too little people here.

This does deserve more attention. We could try requesting reviews from places like jayisgames or even big magazines like gameinformer.

Cheers for the idea. CF hit a bunch of sites & magazines when it first launched, but I'm having a little trouble communicating how the game has changed and convincing people to take a second look. I'm also deliberately holding back on this while Jameson is in alpha, since I'd rather not lose all my chances at getting the game attention 'till it was attention-ready. It's hard to judge where that point is though.
If you'd really like to do something to pimp the series (which would be great) I think there's a lot of scope for making cool and interesting fan videos. If you do make anything cool chuck me a link and I'll share it around!

^Actually, I'm thinking of starting a Captain forever 1 min trailer competition here on the forum.

Sounds good. I'm keen to manually gift a couple of supporter memberships (let's say 3) as prizes.

I made half a dozen new CF players last night. They're loving it, especially since I told them that they can play on their PS3s. They really like that. Keep in mind that any and all strategies would need to be polite and unobtrusive. The last thing we want is to spam or upset people. So, you're saying dressing up in symmetrical clothing and yelling at people that "[Their] unbalanced form is repulsive!" is not the way we want to go? *coughs* Anybody want to buy a gently used megaphone? This has inspired me. I think I'm gonna make a CF video. Not a trailer, as it will have no in-game shots. Just something funny.

I evangelise mainly in these ways: I tell my mates and (you'll never read my posts the same way again) write the website name on the condensation of bus windows. Not all the time, I'm not TOTALLY mental. In fact, I think I'll stick with the former from now on, and keep uploading ships to facebook. I may even have persuaded someone to go as far as supporting!
Oh, and I must know: how is it possible to play on PS3? I don't have one, but I'd love to know.

I don't suppose I should bump this too, shouldn't I...oh well. Anyway, if it helps any, I made a quiz on JetPunk. Since I only have a couple quizzes, and they have at most 30-some views, I doubt anyone'll see it - but here it is in case anyone wants to try it; it's relatively easy: www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/53982/captain-forever
