That sounds great, but it also sounds like the sort of offer nova can only use once - and, as such, it might be better used for a larger event rather than a small, weekly one?


Agreed, a "Grand Opening" Thing
Tactics yes, Tact no...

That sounds like a great idea! I'll pay for shipping :)

There are a few more features for our real time players I'd love to get in place before we start kicking things off, maybe we can shoot for starting this in early August?

I would recommend the middle or end of August, as a lot of people will be at the US Go Congress the first full week.

And yet, around the end of August, many will either be back in school, or getting ready for school.

Why don't you guys just decide on a 'club evening' on nova? Like: Wed 6pm pst we play there, a bunch of us, come play with us. Or whatever... there is a bunch of you nova 'enthusiasts', it should be possible to find an agreeable time. And then others will come as well, hopefully, and the user base will grow.

Or the L19 games (KOTH and whatever) you can play on nova instead of kgs if you wish.

I mean - promotions like the one with the board are good, but there is little things that can be done as well.

I agree, and it's going to be the little things that matter in the long term. :)

Hey, I said 'you guys'. I can't even make it to my local club, and I don't think there is room in my life for yet another server right now. Just offering constructive advice...

I'm playing right now against a 10k. The interface is pretty nice. This is also the first live game I've seen here
