Yeah, I'd say we shouldn't show anymore to be honest... plus you're right, I bet Chris wouldn't want to give away all his secrets! :D

It would be difficult to limit distribution of a video even if it was in the Open Groups... this is the age of "if you don't want the world to know, better be sure there are no cameras around!" after all :)

Second the request for the Silver LE videos of the Bronze opening... wish I had picked up on that before I started with mine. Since it can't be done "after" the fact, I am out of that competition :(

Really? I thought the rules said something about it not being "staged"... because it would kind of fun (and potentially funny) to script it a little bit and show some "real" frustration :) Since I have now opened it, it wouldn't really be a video diary of my real experiences, but more of a re-enactment.

Yeah, I'd say if the winning video doesn't have a few *BLEEPS* and aborted "I am going to throw this thing out the window" moments then I am calling FAKE! ;)

I would like a live chat area,


I think that would be really cool :D

Also I have mentioned Polo shirts as well. More is less, yes just the "R" as a crest would be nice, I would also buy a couple.

:) :)

I really am not sure the community is big enough to support an online chat channel..., And there is nothing worse than an empty chat room for advertising a product. You really need to have either set open hours every day or someone always there ready to talk. Not to mention the liability and temptations for spam that a chatroom present.


Sorry to drag out a pail of cold water, but that is my opinion.
OOOOOOOoo

The one thing that gets people viewing the site is knowing that next time they go visit, there is going to be something neat and new to view.

Also, having a small red "new" next to a link that contains something new for that week would be really cool.

Also, I know the original plan for the APF was to have part of each RevoSale go into the APF. For the longest time I tracked it nearly everyday. I can tell you everytime it increased and by how much and what puzzle was recently released, etc. I know because of the huge jump that RevoMaster tossed in some non-RevoSales funds to get the fund to a point that was very exciting for us puzzlers. But I miss watching it move.

What happened to the video?

The site also looks dull, but is overwhelmed with information. I'm really good at making websites that are distracting and overwhelming. It takes a skilled person to make an astheticly pleasing and super-funtional website, but I think it would help.

Thats it for now. But I hope we can all start bouncing ideas off each other.

PS. How about getting a gauge on here for RevoGear? You know who wants what. I think a nice collared shirt like this one: XS Shirt, would be fantastic and I'd sport it constantly. I'd take 3 or so in different color schemes and where them ever Friday, Saturday, & Sunday. Maybe the "R" and Revomaze on the front, and "the most intriguing puzzle on the planet" "Revomaze" on the back. Heres a couple quick drawings of ideas I have. These, stickers, and pamphlets would be awesome!

I like the second Idea with it on the colar :)

I kinda have to ditto this one. We've already had spam issues a couple of times, that unfortunately RevoMate 'fixed' before I got a glimps ;)

As for the shirts, I do agree with the idea of keeping them clean and simple. I put the collar idea up there because people need to be able to take something away, something to look at later. If I see REVOMAZE.com on a shirt, I just might look it up on my phone or later when I get home. If I just see the 'R' on the front or nothing on the back, we have accomplished nothing. Remember for each person that talks to you about your shirt, 99 dont.
