I'm a member of a few message boards, and I haven't really done anything with the signature space provided with each account.
Would having a link to 4Dimensions on other boards be frowned upon by the 4D community? I'm not really familiar with MUD etiquette.

I'd say 4D could do with any publicity we could get.
We definitely need more players, and I think our game is good enough to deserve it too, but we were never good at advertising ourselves.

I second your call for everyone to vote for 4d, but the toplist sites are visited primarily by those already into mudding. I think the net needs to be cast wider.
There still seems to be a good amount of roleplaying on journal sites like insanejournal and greatestjournal. Having roleplaying groups incorporate their games into 4d would be beneficial to us and them. Perhaps one of the veteran rpers could create a journal to promote 4d?
Another approach that might bring in new players is promoting 4d mudding as a group activity. For example, I could see a sci fi fan club enjoying a weekly 2 hour trip to the future realm. There's also the added bonus that their accounts of exploring 4d would serve as an advertisement to others in their sphere of interests.
Once those in these groups have become acclimated to 4d, we'll see a good percentage of them creating alts and joining the general community.

Hm.
We should advertise 4dimensions more *nod*
For some reason I pulled this idea out of my ass... seeing as I'm a photographer...
You tell Asper, 'think I might go nudge one of my hot friends that I know to do a bikini shoot promoting 4dimensions. If nothing else itd make me laugh that some hot chick is half naked all for a text based game. Might work on the nerds. *laugh* Although.. all the hot friends I know are in brisbane. hm'
You tell Asper, '4dimensions! It's so good it gets hot aussie chicks half naked!'
I might ask around in perth, but I don't many good looking people here yet. Doesn't seem to be much talent around.
Otherwise, next time i fly back to brisbane, I'll line up a shoot with.. hmm *thinks* Jaymie. She's always up for looking sexy. Very lovely and vain girl that one.
Whatcha guys think? Want some "tame" sexy adds with a 4dimensions sign to make everyone chuckle and make the nerds flock to us? *grin*
"If you play 4d you'll meet girls like this!"
(not really)...
BTW: Jaymie: (http://vettephotography.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/normal_Black_white.jpg)
If nothing else, it'd make me laugh. And jay would get a good kick out of it too. Haha.

... I'm going to go organise this regardless of what anyone says.
At the very least it's going to make me laugh.
*goes and emails jaymie*

Sounds like a plan! While you're at it send me the photo's that you decide aren't tame enough :P

I think it's a great idea :) A sense of humor and not taking itself too seriously are two of the things 4dimensions has over the other online games I've played. Unfortunately, you only see those aspects once you're in the game.
4D's flexibility is its greatest strength. The gamer seeking tough challenges and the player who is just looking for a bit of silly fun can both enjoy the game. Right now, the game is predominately being promoted to the serious gamer.
By the way, I visited the 4d Myspace page linked in your sig. It has a great design. Love all the cool concept art. Is there a link to the 4Dimensions homepage on it? I only visit myspace to read Cup o' Joe, so I'm not familiar with navigating on Myspace.
-
Heh, I'm all for promoting 4D as a Mud that doesn't take itself too seriously, since that is the way I like to regard it myself. I've always had a problem with players that take themselves too seriously. Luckily we don't get too many of those.
I'm also all for advertising in general, since I think 4D is a good enough Mud to deserve a lot more players than we currently have.
And by all means, if half-naked women is what it takes to get some attention, who am I to oppose it? At least not if it is done with some humour. :)
There was a thread recently on The Mud Connector, regarding male and female players, where one rather stupid poster claimed that female mudders are always fat and ugly. He got bashed a bit for that, (not just by me), but I remember countering his claim with our example of at least 5 lasting RL relations between couples who met in 4D. (I think it says something about the looks, if the attraction survives a RL meeting).
The thread is worth checking out. Apart from the trolling, it has some interesting views on the subject. (I don't know how to get links to TMC, because of the way they display the URL, but it's among the top threads of the Roleplayers Forum and the title is: RE: Male vs female newbies).
Incidentally, the guy named Osiris, who also posts in that thread, mentions his alter ego, Mistress Narcista. He once promoted his own Mud offering nude pictures of this alleged female self on the website. (Very few people knew that Mistress Narcista was actually male, and I believe the pics were of his RL wife). There was an outcry about it among the more prudish members of the Mud community, but most people thought it was a funny joke. I'm not sure how many new players he got from it however). :P

Just got an email back from jaymie. She's definately up for it.*grin*
Now I just need to get back to brisbane to shoot her. This might happen in september.
Her reply:
Pfft, +4boobs of seduction? We can do better than that, once my +9 Corset of Cleavage is equipped, and the heely +15 Boots of Tallness are in play!
(This means "yeah, sure! Bring it on babe!")

ROFL - just make sure you have this sentence somewhere:
4 Dimensions - the Mud that doesn't take itself too seriously

Actually most of his bashings came from me :P Actually most bashing on TMC, period, come from me...

This ad is going to be epic
-
It will be, however I don't know when Im flying to Brisbane to do the shoot yet.
I'm not really one to model myself, nor do I think it would produce great and desired results, and I dont know any hot pretty girls over here where I now live, yet.
I knew one, but her boyfriend flipped when he found out she liked me, so no she can't talk to me anymore *snicker*
So it's prolly going to be some time before this is done...
-
In the meantime, you should get Alpha half nekkid for a shoot to appeal to the pervy femme community out there.
I'm sure his flexible morality would be perfect for such an endeavor. ;D
-
... Alpha?
*blink*
Anyway. He's dropped off the face of the earth. I HAD organised for him to film the gig I shot on saturday, which would have been utterly fantastic. But he didn't show up. Which left me having to tell a national and international act that "Im sorry, I wasn't able to have your show filmed like we agreed as my filmer didn't... show up".
:/
But yes. I dont do model photography really. But shooting Jaymie is always great fun.
-
Need to slap Alpha hard. Silly boy :o
Prometheus

What are these morals you speak of?
-
All that time wasted in Table Round...and they never told you what morality was. :-[
Well, since Alpha's dropped off the face of the planet, Fizban shall take his place. ;D

I may have mentioned this before but I can't remember the answer.
The 'advertisement' or description of 4D on the TMS ranking list states "A mud where success is not only determined on your RL wallet or how much time you spend bashing mobs".
The way I read this is that your RL wallet has some determination on your success. Clicking the info button provides information that the game is "totally free - no pay-for-perks or hidden costs", but some people might not click on the button if they get the impression that there are some costs involved in playing.
I would suggest taking out the word 'only' so it would read "...success is not determined on your RL wallet...".
-
woohoo! naked women! count me in.. god i sound like a pathetic loser....
-

hell shooting anybody is alwa fun, as long as its not in self defense....
oops did I just say that?

It is the prerogative of old men to bring up old topics...
The gracious and lovely Molly remembers Osiris and Narcista. :)
Divine Anathema had hundreds of active players. Attempts to breed players in captivity, however amusing the exercise, proved futile. And so much ado and silliness ensued on TMC. Hybrid children characters, believe it or not, were almost always played by one parent or the other.
What is really impressive is that 4D is still cooking and Molly is still with it. My previously felt admiration and affection for both was obviously right on.
-
LOL, Osiris, is that really you?
That's hilarious.
And are you really Gom on that new thread on TMC too?
By the way, you know that there is a portrait of Mistress Narcista on 4D, right?
