Political Risk Game
Posted: Wed Jan 30, 2008 9:18 pmMy name is Matthew Brimer, and I would like to draw your attention to the unprecedented GoCrossPoliticalBash08, the very first massive online game based on political rivalries! You can fight for Hillary Clinton on a team with fellow supporters, and battle for national conquest across a map of the entire United States against your rival candidates. It's pretty sweet -- you can check it out at http://politics.gocrosscampus.com.
GoCrossCampus, the startup website behind it all, is a team-based social gaming network rooted in real affinities and associations. We host massively multiplayer conquest games on our site for people to play (for free), battling alongside their comrades against rival teams for conquest in tournaments. We've already had several successful collegiate games (one between the entire Ivy League, and other single-campus games between dorms).
We expect this thing to be HUGE, and we think it's a really fun, socially-interactive way for students to rally behind their favored presidential candidates in an exciting, strategy-based massively multiplayer online casual game. GoCrossPoliticalBash08 just kicked off today and getting an early lead in this game is as important as it is in politics. The game is aimed towards college students, so for the time being we're limiting registrations to only those with a ".edu" email address. But of course anyone can watch the game!
I've attached a fun poster for the game for you to use to email and/or post online. Feel free to use it at will. As I mentioned, the game just kicked off, and as a Hillary supporter myself, I would love to see her do well!
It would be great if you could help rally the troops and get people playing. Here's what I had in mind:
- Invite everyone in your group to join the GoCrossPoliticalBash08 and fight for Hillary Clinton, and encourage them to invite their friends.
- Post the link + poster (attached) on the your site for visitors to check out and sign up
The link to use is http://politics.gocrosscampus.com. Thank you in advance for a timely response, and talk to you soon!
Cheers,
-Matt
