Spread the word...........

[python]

I've posted links to the site on a couple of boards.( Gen con and a online game I play Elveron) I suggest everyone do the same. Lets spread the word. About 6 months til Gen con. Lets make this thing happen people.

[Joe Donnelly]

Yes, I've posted a review on BoardGamegeek.com It seems like everyone who has posted a bad comment or remark hasn't played the game. Its very annoying.

[Keith Katsikas]

I have had such a very hard time getting members of Board Game Geek to seriously look at the game. Everyone is more impressed to talk abou how much of a scam we are, just because I have posted some reviews on our game.

[Joe D]

Yeah, I got the smack down on that site. Geez, talk about a closed minded community.

[sevencrows]

there will be people that will want to push it out of the way for fun...some try to make points but sound harsh

as for the ad, in my view its pretty good although there would be a few things I would of done differently(my opinion).. not to offend anyone but the negative view on the ad had some points I agree with, being the type of person I am, although they were a bit harsher than they should of been to the point that they we insulting.

and theres some things that could be upgraded to higher standards.. not that its bad so far..
the site is looking good

last note: there's still some things to workout in this game..
and you'll always have someone complaining about something.. alt east take their advice into consideration

starting out is always rocky at first.

[Keith Katsikas]

Ok, So why don't you lay it out for me. What things could be better? I will work on them. =)

I take every bit of feedback to the table when I redesign, rewrite, or create new things for the game. Even the feedback from the Geek. My only complaint about the Geek is that the feed back is so negative, and 90% of the people shouting have never even tried the game. And the 10% who have aren't really saying much either way at risk of alianating thenselves from the pack. I am pulling the game from the Geek all together.

[sevencrows]

I was just going by the comments. you must already know what some people are offended about.

pulling the info off maybe be a good thing for saving the rep of them game. Just make sure the path you taken didn't effect people thoughts in a bad way. next time make sure to patch those parts up some how.

My only complaint about the Geek is that the feed back is so negative, and 90% of the people shouting have never even tried the game

if most of the complaints are coming from this board and are a small % total, you have nothing to worry about..

certain forums will be like that.. I'm on the taps forum alot and the 18+ forum can get pretty bad with argueing.. I try to keep the peace but sometime it's just impossible.

and you can't satisfy everyone..

I still see people complaining about mtg


also J W had some good tips on the ad.. this person said,

This is just my opinion but that ad is fairly ordinary with the exception of the tucked in card.. that's not needed imho. If I had to suggest anything about the layout it would be to get rid of that and to capitalize on the model's eyes. Maybe more cards with brighter greens or mix of red and green if the shirt has to be red.

..and some other tips if not for this ad but next time

alot of complains ground towards what the Rulebook was lacking and its seems like your on that although it did some damage it seems

[Keith Katsikas]

I have removed the game from boardgamegeek.com and have removed my membership as well. I don't need all that negative crap being said about our company and the game. They are completely out of control over there.

probably for the best

definitely for the best.

I bought a starter box and passed them out to my friends. After they looked them over, and read the rules a lot of them are interested in learning how to play. One guy keeps pestering me to take some time off of work so we can play : )

"How do you make new players?"

Hehe, I buy the cards for them, and pass them out. That seems to work.

[samwise7]

Also I think I will demo your game during one of the time slots at the next GASPcon in Pittsburgh, PA. It isn't a very large convention compared to just about any other con, but it has been around for about 6 years. It is on a Sat & Sun in Oct/Nov, somewhere in there. It was started by my G.A.S.P. gaming club and picks up a little steam each year. GASP stands for Gaming Association of Southwestern Pennsylvania. Most likely I will buy a few starter boxes, and play a few games with new recruits. Maybe I will have some friends who I am teaching now to help me demo it.

Again, thanks for making a cool game.

[Keith Katsikas]

Once certified you will be able to recieve support from Northeast Games, Inc by means of free demo product. You can also organize and/or judge events in your area. Thank you again for your support. We are really glad you enjoy playing Mystical Empire!

[maas92504]

What about creating special edition cards imprinted with foil or holograms, that always seems to attract attention. Does Mystical Empire have plans for this?

[samwise7]

Yeah for some reason people love the "shiny crap." I never really cared for it myself. I've played with shiny cards in the past and people have yelled at me. I got the cards to play not collect. But I agree Maas people love that stuff.
