I made a few suggestions before around this topic, please note suggestion 4
4, What could be really really cool is the Membership/Welcoming committee has the power to grant free Premium Membership,say a one time only free three month Premium membership to any Freemium who meets certain criteria say reaches the rank of Private 1st Class 5 finished games 1000+ points. did not deadbeat, or flame in inappropriate ways.? It would cost BigWham nothing and could lead to a lot of Freemiums sticking with CC rather than dropping out, paying their own way after a trial period,.
Some suggestions: for the Cc community working with BigWham"
1. A Membership committee is formed that gets info on how many members there actually are, Freemium, Premium, at what times have we been on a incline or decline, what sort of people are joining and which leaving, and we get some say in inviting people to join AND people to stay.
2, We get a slot on the Home Page leading to a guide written by us:
- Want to play games? you can do this or this, but not this and be warned, this is a real challenge
- Want to follow the progress of maps from concept to reality, help make maps? -here is a guide
- Want to play in tournaments- Try this.
How does a clan sound? read this.
Parlez francais>- ici,
Female?- a special welcome from Ball Busterz here
2. A forum for newbies with questions, hopefully with some answers,
3 If it is doable a Welcome email or PM message is sent to new members, Fremium/Premium from the Welcoming Committee, along with the latest Dispatch. and an opt out sending of the Dispatch from then on.
4, What could be really really cool is the Membership/Welcoming committee has the power to grant free Premium Membership,say a one time only free three month Premium membership to any Freemium who meets certain criteria say reaches the rank of Private 1st Class 5 finished games 1000+ points. did not deadbeat, or flame in inappropriate ways.?

Bottom line, the community gets to guide newbies into CC and gets good players to continue in CCes.
