I had something more big, mature, organized and planned in mind but I guess this thread was pointless from the start.

well perhaps if you articulate it I can help you do it. And if we start others might join?

Guys :)

I have already given idea.

Facebook
Twitter
ordinary user-oriented website with clear and easy to understand info what does it mean to "contribute"

More players, more chances for developers, better and faster development

Perhaps one user can join dev team and manage all those things.

well they suggested we go forth and multiply (knowledge)

so let's just do it?

I can create a facebook page.
I only have free web hosting, so the sites I can create will either be wordpress or blogger which are non ideal.
what do you feel is wrong with the contribute section at present?

Can you do the twitter feed?

and yes, waving our arms around and jumping up and down on the UFO sites might help too :p

I believe that official promotion should be driven by devs. Non necessarily coders or mappers, but by ppl who are officially "in" UFO.

Well if someone wants to be the promo guy - i think the position is open. Most of the devs dont have the time to do also the promotion stuff - so someone whos doin all that things would be nice.

Guys - you are able to create AWESOME game. You won't even meet each other in real life, yet you create very complex things. So you are able to organize yourself. Think :)

and you are the crotchety old grumpus. :)

Majki - I vote we just do it. If Crystan can give us his blessing to be honorary ambassadors that's good enough for me.  Someday in the distant future when radiant works on my macbook pro I might turn map maker... but for now, well it doesn't take much of my time to plug the game or set up a facebook account. Wanna join me? you seem to have some good ideas. We could discuss this further and come up with something concrete. I can't do this on my own - and probably neither can you - due to crazy commitments right now -- but we can probably swing something working together. The more the merrier.

Well, to make marketing for this game we need:
plan
platforms (FB? Twitter?)
scheadule
assigment by dev team (let them for example create FB page and give for example you admin's rights to keep FB page in UFO devs ownership still)
artwork

Good start. UFO is on FB, just like Lady Gaga.

A terrible day - UFO:AI is on Failbook.

Love it or hate it - FB has 600 000 000 active users and growing. It's very important communication channel.
