It's the Great Referral Program, Charlie Brown

**Cryptonic** · August 14th, 2015, 08:18 AM

Hello All!

In an effort to try to grow the forums a tiny bit for the Forum Mafia subsection, I'm offering some incentives for people who have friends/acquaintances sign up on the forums.
The rules are simple:
1) Get your friends to sign up and list YOU as the user that referred them.
2) PM Me. I will check the IP and add it to your tally.
That's all there is to it!
I know that we sometimes have problems with the registration emails on the site not being sent out all the time, but I will approve all members when I check their IP. So, as soon as they sign up, tell me the name and all will be set straight. These new users don't need to stick around if they do not enjoy it here, it will count towards your total regardless.

NEW USERS INVITED VIA THIS PROGRAM ARE ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS CONTEST.

Awards:

1 Person: +25 Rep Points.
3 Persons: VIP Usergroup (Access to R&D section, and increased PM capacity); or +25 Rep points.
5 Persons: Ability to view who sent Reputation messages and the ability to leave negative reputation; or +25 Rep points.
10 Persons: Unique Usergroup with color of your choice (Cannot copy any Staff-level colors, MVP Usergroups, nor unique customized Usergroups such as Brunp & Bunny). Bold, Underlined, Italicized acceptable; or +100 Rep points.

Person with the highest amount of referrals will also earn +100 Rep points. If multiple people are tied for first, it will be divided evenly between those people. If no one reaches 10 Referrals, the Unique Usergroup will be given to one person who has the most referrals (randomized between first place people).

Contest will end at the end of September.
Awards will be given out throughout the Contest, but the final awards will be given in October.

Now go and tell your friends or people you know on other Forums! Make sure they put you as their Referrer! Good luck!

**If the new user fails to fill out the Referrer slot of registration, accommodations may be made.
**Please note that creating smurfs will result in disqualification from the contest.

Nice try Jack but you can't just keep banning all his accounts and force him to make new refs xD

**Firebringer** · August 14th, 2015, 11:23 AM

It would be nice if we could run more S-FMs at once.

Like 4 at a time would be nice. We just don't have player base

All it takes is everyone getting 1-2 people, and then 25% of those users staying.
That'd be like 5-10 new users lol helps a lot in the S-FM world

**Frog** · August 14th, 2015, 11:26 AM

Can I invite 2 female friends to join the site (again)? Kitty and Nyx.

Don't you mean Nyx, that person no one ever heared about? I mean Kitty's ban should expire in like 4 days xD. At least that I've theoretically heard about that non-existent person.

**Cryptonic** · August 14th, 2015, 12:08 PM

So far, PoD is in the lead

Ask other, non-related forum communities to sign up. Tell IRL friends that you know play -Mafia- or Forum Mafia about us. Suggest to friends on other FM sites. Encourage skillful players on SC2 to try out Forum Mafia. Those are just some suggestions :P

**Firebringer** · August 14th, 2015, 12:09 PM

Is it abuse of in game mod to announce to players to try out forum mafia??

**Cryptonic** · August 14th, 2015, 12:21 PM

No, that is OK, as long as you're not doing it at a time where it would be deemed a distraction. ie on a trial, when people are discussion stuff.
Like day 1 is probably good.
Or night time, maybe.

**Firebringer** · August 14th, 2015, 12:27 PM

You know we could boost incentive for players on sc2 mafia to come here if we added a fluff achievement given away to forum players like:

Forum Players: play 3-5 games of forum mafia to completion.

I mean couldn't hurt, could it?

**Cryptonic** · August 14th, 2015, 12:29 PM

or even on the loading screen we could mention forum mafia lol
I'd be willing to offer in-game rewards if I had my laptop still lol

How's that abusing!
I like endless swarms of people

**SuperJack** · August 19th, 2015, 11:21 AM

Tbh they should only count if they get involved with something on the website.

**ika** · August 19th, 2015, 09:28 PM

^that

i could easily get plenty of ppl to just sign but to actualy play is another

**Cryptonic** · August 20th, 2015, 11:31 AM

the more people who register an account, the higher the chance that someone will stick around. I'm not going to add restrictions to discourage people inviting others.
Honestly, if 5% of the people who register decide to become a member of the community, then this would be successful lol

**Stealthbomber16** · August 20th, 2015, 05:59 PM

sadly im forever alone and have no friends

**DarknessB** · August 21st, 2015, 11:22 AM

I would have gone with "All of my friends are already members of the forum" -- you get props for the Witch solo win achievement reference though.

**Frog** · August 30th, 2015, 04:36 AM

There should be a consolation prize for 0 referrals.

It will be called the:
You have no friends here's a trophy Prize

Please reinstate Fred as red. He has a lot of badges to issue. And I'm still waiting on my charmander badge.

**Yayap** · August 31st, 2015, 08:27 PM

I suppose referrals to a different site don't count......

**fred** · September 2nd, 2015, 06:26 PM

somehow I am being employed without any knowledge of what's going on

Sounds just like what happened with your comeback as Warden, right?

**Cryptonic** · October 1st, 2015, 06:24 AM

And it's over!
I got some last minute referrals last night, so I will tally that shit up later tonight and contact the winner regarding their usergroup

**Mathmatical** · October 1st, 2015, 09:10 PM

what are referrals :P

**Cryptonic** · October 3rd, 2015, 04:13 PM

Alright, I have time currently, been a busy week.

We have a TIE for first, I think TDL did this on purpose when he sent 3 in within last 48 hrs =[

So, I'm going to have some people help me with with the decision so I don't get accused of being biased.

**Orpz** · October 3rd, 2015, 04:15 PM

Whose referred people are the most active?

**Cryptonic** · October 3rd, 2015, 04:16 PM

None, sadly lol.

Maybe SuperJack lol

**Firebringer** · October 3rd, 2015, 04:17 PM

You should have designed this to be "get a new player to sign up and play a FM game" instead of just "Sign up for a forums"

One is useful, the other is just making an account.

hindsight 20/20 x.x

**Orpz** · October 3rd, 2015, 04:22 PM

Not any one of the referred players made a single post?

**Cryptonic** · October 3rd, 2015, 04:25 PM

lmao I guess I can check, but I didn't put that in the initial rules so it wouldn't mean anything to find out

**Orpz** · October 3rd, 2015, 04:26 PM

It would be a good way to break the tie imo
