Encouraging helpers with game development

[a-ramune]

A lot of people helps us with the game development. From now on we decided to encourage people to help (or continue helping) us.

Once in a week or two we are ready to hand out 50 000 - 200 000 Eu for clubs whose managers contributed the most to the game development in that period.

Contribution could be:

* popularizing BasketballZone manager (article in blog, providing information about the game in forum, creating youtube clip. Though it can not be anything like spamming!)
* help with programming (those who know PHP or HTML+CSS or can work with Photoshop)
* organizing contests or games (friendly tournament, totalizator, etc.)
* translating the game to other languages
* making lists of countries, that are not in the game yet, names and surnames
* in some cases we can encourage users, who actively and helpfully communicate in forum
* other activities

If you think that you have done something useful or know someone who did, tell us. We want to encourage different users, so it will not become permanent income for some club.

520 000 Eu were allocated to the users who contributed most to the development of the game.

As it is the first time that such awards are given, quite a big sum of money has been allocated. This time awards went to the people who organized competitions, wrote help sections and instructions, maintained order in forum and structured topics, translated game to more languages, helped with including new countries into the game and more.

In the future we are going to allocate 100 000 Eu - 200 000 Eu every few weeks.

We especially encourage popularizing the game in your country, help with activating community of your country and translating the game to more languages.

For the second time we distributed bonuses for users, assisting with game development, popularizing and being active. Today 330 000 Eu were distributed for BasketballZone manager users.

Bonuses were given for the ones, who assisted with game development and popularizing, also for the ones, who are active in forum and this way encourages others to be active, too. And also for development and supervision of BasketballZone community outside this game.

It is the second encouragement for helpers. This time we awarded those, who did not get bonuses earlier. This way we encourage others to be active, too.

We are very glad that users from fresh countries are becoming more active. Most active Latvians were awarded. And the special bonus was given to the user cretze (Komanda: Pucioasa Worms) from Romania - for being the most active user in global forum. We appreciate his remarks and suggestions!

• rokis94 - developing BasketballZone community outside the game
