Well isn't this a thing of beauty! More clowns to onboard!

We are looking forward to seeing more clowns!

hi , how do one get on 'fundition' list for upvotes ?

@zen-art You folks are doing an EXCELLENT job with this game. I am THOROUGHLY enjoying participating in the game as BOTH a player AND a marketing guy. My ""Steem Monsters" + "Drug Wars" - Power Strategy Tips" (most recent weekly post :

"Steem Monsters" + "Drug Wars" - Power Strategy Tips #24"
https://steemit.com/steemmonsters/@transcript-junky/steem-monsters-drug-wars-power-strategy-tips-24

has been hitting BOTH the #steemmonsters and #drugwars trending pages, primarily as a result of investing 2,000 DEC (Dark Energy Tokens) into the @steemmonsters "bid-bot". By trending, the deep analysis I am doing into BOTH games it getting out there and being appreciated by my readers, and @drugwars is benefiting from that.

Here's an additional idea. How about having @zainenn do a proper, full-on tutorial series on "Drug Wars & Steem". He can demonstrate, through his personal activity on BOTH Steemit and Drug wars how the two "entities" interact. Viewers will be able to clearly see that he has credibility when they visit his Steemit profile page, and he can essentially act as a more PERSONALIZED "tour guide" for Drug Wars and Steemit. As a marketing guy know that video is ESPECIALLY effective in terms of marketing "reach", and I think such videos would go FURTHER than other media. For example, video plays as embeds in Tweets, etc. I suggest you create a new YouTube playlist on the main Drug Wars YouTube account and then build this tutorial idea one video at a time over the coming months. Feel free to let me know your thoughts on this idea...

Well, since it did not work the first time, let's try it again.

Why do you spam this thread, @dwd.chameleon?

Solid recovery, drug wars. The job battles are very cool as well.

Thank you very much, DW will make steem big!

Nice move

it's not about onboarding per say, it's more about the lack of incentive to onboard users in my opinion

I'm very interested in seeing how this plays out as I have an idea to implement once we get SMTs and my thought was each person would need an account dedicated to the community I plan to start. Goal is to run it without a care in the world about Steem itself other then it being the engine that drives everything. It will be a completely new front end that will show none of the other content on the steem blockchain.

New accounts needed as the goal wouldn't be to earn steem or other tribe tokens, purely the token of our community. If they happen to get Steem votes so be it, but that isn't the purpose of our niche community. Stay clear of the political nonsense, flagging wars that are about to start up, and instead focus on quality content related to our niche.

So to see how people use these accounts, if they mind the account names assigned to them, and so forth is all very interesting to me to watch.

See each account is being delegated 3 sp, do you feel that will be enough to play the game without any issues? Also once the ability to delegated RCs is available are you planning to switch to just RCs?

It sounds very interesting and we wish you all the best. If watching us will help you in any way, we will be happy about it.

Delegated SP will have to do for now. We hope that it will encourage users to start using other dApps, publish quality posts, and socialize with other users by commenting on content. That way, they will earn SP and actually do what they are expected to do on the blockchain platform. In a way, we are "encouraging" them to be active and earn their own SP.

I will command my pet bot to award you with 1 DWD token, just be careful. You never know if he will be naughty or nice so take his words with humor and enjoy your token!

Well 3sp won't allow them to do anything. Go ahead and create yourself a new account with 3sp and see how often you can post or comment. So if your thought is they can use DW and other apps that will be an issue for sure.

This is why the addition of the ability to delegate RCs is critical to the growth of Steem. It should have been available from day one when the entire RC system was put into place. Once this is in place the Steem blockchain will be a much more inviting place to newbies IMO.

Oh and thanks for calling in your pet!

Interesting!

Will the Steem accounts you issue for the players coming from social media all be prefixed with 'dw-'? Good luck!

Yes they will. You will recognize a steem user has joined the platform through drugwars by having that prefix. Players will be able to use other dApps with them too, of course. If players so wish, we will guide them in creating their own steem acounts with different names and help them in any way we can, on their further steem journey.

So will players be able to choose dw-somethingtheycanremember vs a string of nonsense? Think it would be highly beneficial if they could.

I can not definitely say that it will not be possible in the future but for now, no. They will not be able to choose their steem account name. They can choose their drugwars account nickname and change it once a month. As for their steem account name, it will be generated for them.

I think this is a major detail. I get why you take the prefix DW-, but they should be able to choose their own name after the DW- prefix. I bet this will be very important for people... I mean who of us here does wan to post as "398623089723#ztz" ?? New users will likely not use this the way they could... so I say good initiative and plan, the DW prefix is fine but people should be able t chose their own username and I believe this is very important.
You should also make clear how important the keys are and that they should securely save it and print out etc...

That's good - So the nosy people like me can scan the database to see how many accounts you are creating and how active they are :D

Yes, keeping track of the statistic will be easier this way ;)

P.S. you do deserve 1 DWD for such an interesting question. Just take the words from my pet with some humor, you never know if he will be naughty or nice ;)

!DWD

Thanks!

I actually just bought a couple on the back of this news :D

SM does it too but allows the user to chose the steem account name, now DW-XXX is not bad, just HARD to identify to or even to remember

Yeah, really positive signs imo. The nice thing about 'dw-' as I've mentioned above is that it's easy to run some numbers on how many/how active they are :)

So they will not have their master key. Anyway this is a good idea. I cross the finger on it.

Nope, no master key. For a new user who comes, having a lot of keys may seem complicated. Since we went with keeping it as simple as possible, only two keys (with explanation for their use) seemed to be the easiest approach for now. They can use those keys for trading on Steem Engine, using dApps, posting on steemit, etc. If they will be (and we hope they will, of course) interested in having their own steem account and learning about the blockchain, we will provide any necessary help and guidance.

I will call my pet to award you one DWD tokens. Just be careful, you never know if he will be naughty or nice. Take his words with some humor and enjoy your token ;)

Wow. Thanks.

NEAT! This is what we want - normies playing a game and slowly getting pulled in/on the Steem Blockchain. Great work!

Yup, and we believe it is the best approach to bringing more users to the blockchain platform.

I like your idea!

Excellent as usual @drugwars , you have the things clear and I fully aligned with your strategy.

Thank you for your support and kind words. We do aim for clarity and simplicity, and we are glad it shows. I will call my pet bot to award you with a DWD token. Just be careful, you never know if he will be naughty or nice so take his words with some humor and enjoy your token.

Very nice!! This is what steem need!
Great Job

This looks like an abusable faucet. I hope you have some guidelines in place to prevent that.
