I am very happy to see that Catastrophe X has developed a solid core player base over the past week. There is now a growing group of regulars, and I am impressed by the skill that I see in both battle and detachment design.
I am having a problem though. There is often a lack of upcoming battles, and many new players simply leave as a result. To try and grow the community, I am currently spending the majority of my day engaging newcomers in battle. I do enjoy helping new players, but it prevents me from improving the game as quickly as everyone would like.
I would like to ask for help in the following way:
1. Please host battles. Preferably just leave an upcoming battle hosted all the time and keep an eye on it for activity (ideally unrated with the default settings). New players are usually looking to dive right in to a battle, and when there are none hosted they often leave.
2. Please help newcomers learn the game. Don't just destroy them. I would like Catastrophe X to be a friendly and open community, so let's all put our egos aside and teach people the game.
If we work together, within a week or two we can have significantly more skilled opponents to battle against, and the game will be more fun for everybody. Moreover, I will be freed up to spend more time on development, so we will have more cool new features, crafts, and maps.
For what it is worth, I will need game moderators relatively soon, and I will be looking for players who have contributed positively to the community. I know that's a bit of a a vague, hand-wavy promise for the future, but it's a sincere one.
Thank you, and more soon!
