[KoM] Idea

[FrieZ]

I have only seen a handful of people from [KoM] participating in the [KoM] forums. This kind of surprised me since I knew digital just basically "cleaned out our clock". (kicked anyone who did not sign up on forums.)

What disturbed me the most is the lack of comments in our two elections. I think Cait_Sith is the only one from [KoM] to comment, and possibly King_Shaun.

I was wondering what I could do to get KoM members to actively participate in these forums (or at least try to) and I thought of something along the lines of a quiz maybe twice a week about the important events going on in this [KoM] forum. Anybody who submits the quiz and gets 90% or higher on it will receive 2 catapults from me for every quiz up to 10 quizzes (at which point hopefully they will continue to read the forum)

Before I initiated anything like this I would like your input.

Here is a mock quiz:

www.classmarker.com/quizzes/make_quiz?quiz=1e08fe48b9770a6aa19fc0bd88901373

If this sounds like a good idea I will message all KoM members and those interested will be signed up through me and will recieve a:

username & password for ClassMarker. When they log in they will be able to view and take all available tests. If you wish to see how this works go to:

www.classmarker.com

username: test322
password: sqhaftp

One last thing, after they take the test I will be able to confirm/view their results and issue their reward if they got a 90% or higher on their tests. They will have 2 days to complete the test after which time it will close and the winners will be rewarded.

Feedback please.

EDIT: // Had some dumb spelling mistakes.

I fail to see how this will actively involve anyone on the forums, seen as its an external application and can be viewed outside the forum, for example people come to the forum find the link then complete and leave the forum, all this without viewing anything else.

Nice idea though, I'll see what the others have to say.

I am sure we can incorporate the link into the forum, there is a code for embedding it into a website. Also, they would have to read the forum to be able to know the answer to the questions, so they would have to view and read the forum if they wanted their reward.

While i think that trying to get KoM to participate more is a good thing, I dont believe it is possible to get someone to become interested in something by sending him treats. This might get them to read the forum more, but i believe this wont bring in the the feeling of having to do it to make the alliance work but rather to get free cats.

Its just my way of seeing it. If somebody doesnt have that belonging feeling about KoM, i doubt we can do it, i believe only them can.

But if you can go ahead and prove me wrong that would be great

There will always be some group of members who do not actively participate in the forums but will scan and comment on the forums occasionally. Kampf didn't comment often but fully participated in all our war efforts and multi killings. I think that the forums are just 1 element of our alliance and the level of participation here should be a little forgiving. We like to be social but I am hesitant to pin a requirement for a number of posts per week since some people are simply better at the 'in game' portion while others do a better job of communicating in the forums.

There are those few(Ahem) that do both to an equally amazing level. ;D

I got a 100%!

I know I don't talk much on the forums, but I do look at them quite often and try to stay up to date with everything.

A comment on that quiz; the only way to get 90% or better would be to answer every question right since there were only 5 questions. I don't know if you planned on having more questions on the real quizzes or if you just didn't realize it, but I was just pointing that out.

The idea has potential, if people are willing to donate cats to the winners it should get some interest!

Exalts!

[digital]

Cool, I'll let Noob sort it out, make sure it has 10 questions this time though.

You also need a tie-breaker or be willing to send prizes to more than one person!
