I love TriadCity!
How can I help it grow?
Well bless your heart for asking! Here are several
things you can do, which really help a lot:
-
Report bugs.
The more burp-free the TC player experience,
the better. Use the
"bug"
command online, or e-mail us with
anything really lengthy.
-
Create a Player Page.
Player pages contribute to a vibrant sense of community;
help you make online friends more quickly;
help the player community better understand you and your reasons for participating;
and show our sponsors that you're out there.

to get started.
-
Use our Web site.
Page views drive our future success with advertisers.
And, they're the main source of player info and lore about the game.
Please click around with total abandon.
-
Participate in our bulletin boards.
Very helpful for new players.
We especially appreciate it when you answer questions,
make suggestions, and so on.
It goes really far toward making TriadCity a larger and fuller experience.
-
Refer a friend.
We'll even reward you for doing it. Click
here
for details.
-
Link to us.
That is, put links to SmartMonsters pages on your site. This helps us
achieve higher rankings on Google. And please tell your visitors
how much you love us! We'll link back to you if you ask: see our
Links
section for details.
-
Encourage others to link to us.
If you come across interesting sites which discuss RPGs, MUDs, experimental
literature, Postmodernism, etc. etc., check their links pages for references
to TriadCity. If they don't link to us, encourage them to do so.
-
Edit appropriate Wikipedia entries to include references to TC.
If you find a Wikipedia entry which should include a reference
to TC but doesn't have one, add it.
Example subjects might be: RPGs, role-playing, experimental literature,
Postmodernism, online games, multiplayer games, MUDs, etc. etc.
Note the excellent
Wikipedia
article dedicated to TC. Add links to it, and to the TC web site.
-
Click our sponsors' ads.
Makes 'em love us. Really can't thank you enough!
-
Write something about us on
slashdot.
Every time there's a posting about TriadCity on slashdot our traffic leaps and we gain
dozens of new players. It's one of the best places on the Web to get the word out. Naturally,
we appreciate it very much if you conform to slashdot's policies and cultural norms -- and if
you say good things about TC!
-
Buy books from our bookstore.
We make a small commission on everything you buy.
Actually if you buy as many books as we do, we'll make a small fortune. Meanwhile we'll
happily settle for
covering some portion of our hosting costs! These are really
good books, too.
-
Take our surveys.
The
info you provide is critical to our ability to evolve the game in appropriate directions; and
to our ability to interest the right sponsors in supporting us. Way lotsa
thanks for taking a minute to provide complete and accurate answers!
-
Review us.
On your favorite game review site, or anywhere else for that matter.
We're so keen on this that we've written-up a set of
guidelines for reviewers.
-
Nominate us for awards.
Here's a list of possibilities which, after sniffing
enough glue, we thought we might mention:
We realize it might take a few days before any of these awards come our way.
Selection committees have their bureaucratic thing they have to do. We're patient.
Thanks so much for informing them of our existence!
Just want to stress how grateful we are to you for your help!
See you in the City!
