Write all old players on Battletracker a letter WAY : exemple i dit sent a old player in oktober a message about 25Assist and he diddent know about it :banned: now he is playing agan. :up:
-
yes, good idea.
every player we can take back is a win.
i will do that too.
-
I think we first must make a letter and that we do not sent players 2 ore 3 the same letters from 25Assist players so i will make a letter tonight ore tomorrow so we can sent it in an order that is convenient . and that the old players can react on aao25.com and not that we get self all mail back. and that the responce must have a sign that thay react on our letter.

here is a link were alot players are from the past.It are mennie players so a lot work Hooah GET THEM BACK!!!
This is 1 hour later i dit do already a little of the letter but it needs more wait for it and if you think this will help to i will hear it .

can we read out all the aa2 players at battletracker by a script? if yes, just synchronize it with the active players at aa25assist/battletracker. the different ones should be the ones we have to address - if the mail account also could be taken out. who could do that scripting (if the way would work)?
-
Seems like a good idea if we have access to that sort of thing. Basically address players that have been active in the last X amount of years receive a message detailing this site/TWL ladders ect.
Don't forget to take into account that the top lists haven't been updated in a while....

I have the letter ready can summbuddy look ad it for correct englische

In my opinion not only the spelling should be changed. Some sentences are really strange sounding, so I tried to adapt your message abit, still based on yours ofcourse.
Hello Soldier,
Do the words AA, Fun and Teamwork ring a bell in your head?
Do you miss the hours spent playing that game you'll never forget?
Do you want to play it again, with your comrades and own like in the good old days?
This is now possible thanks to the project called 2.5 Assist
The community of AA 2.5 is currently struggling for survival. With the time, this community that used to include only a few members grew up, and at the moment we have approximately more than 400 dedicated players playing on the server every day !
Feel free to visit the site of the surviving AA 2.5 community. Ask questions, spam around, you're always welcome there. www.aao25.com (http://www.aao25.com)
Here is the site to download that game you never forgot about. www.aa25assist.sourceforge.net (http://www.aa25assist.sourceforge.net)
The game is compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux. It's free and easy to install
At the moment a Winter League is being organized, with already 25 teams signed up. Take a look at the promotional movie [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=De_tvMviHDM[/youtube]
Feel free to talk about AA to anyone !
We hope to see you around soon.
Hooah !!
The AA25 Team
In my opinion this sounds better than the original one, but that might not be your feeling so feel free to adapt or to take back the original letter.

thank you very much Ganja. this sounds very nice to me.
i just started to download aa25assist because of this :D (joke)
now maybe pit or someone else with access to battletracker could do the mailing extract of all aa2 players. i guess it dosn't matter if active players will receive this letter too. so no selects has to be made then.

I'm not sure, but I think aao25 admins don't really have special access to battletracker (I think I've seen this referred to in regard to account passwords and stuff), so it should be battletracker admins (like Homey for example) who would do this,, but I don't know if they/he have/has time for it.
But then again, if it can be done, it would be awesome :)
-
I tried PM and Email the two main admins at BT but no answer so far. But Vanoke update your letter image with the new text from Ganja and i will email them again, maybe this time i get luck ;)
-
Please take my name off the message, I'm not/don't want to be involved anymore.
-
your call
-
Hi Vanoke,
Your text has great charm and a good feel to it.
Here is the corrected English that you requested. Although I am English, I have not tried to make it perfect, just tidy!
And Ganja, nice work.
Best wishes,
Rattler
"We are a community that is struggling for this great game and because we think that not all previous players know about it, we are writing to you, so you know the game is still alive.
To download the game here is the link, it's for Windows/Mac OSX/ Linux. It's easy to do, it's free and the rest you know like in the old days:
And here is the site of 25Assist:
if you need any help or for questions about the game.
There is an active group behind 25Assist that is dedicated to keeping this game alive and to making this first person shooter game like it was in the past.
This year we also have a Winter League. Let your feelings go again and look at this promotion movie:
We hope that by writing this letter we shall reach a wider audience, so go for it and tell a friend about us!"
-
i hope Vanoke has nothing against, but he should take the one of Ganja :rtfm: :D :D
and also many thanks to big_sergio for helping in this matter.
-
Please take my name off the message, I'm not/don't want to be involved anymore.
you are a prisoner of aa25assist, JonnyM. no way to get out of there, no way :D

hi all,
i've made a new advertising DEM on Ganja suggestion.
If you agree i can make a HTML page that you can use to send it by e-mail.

I think it looks good. Just a couple typos in it that stand out a bit.
Do you have never seen a game like Americas Army 2?
Should just be: Have you ever seen a game like Americas Army 2?
Now is possible! Americas Army is back!
Now its possible!
Those are the two that stand out the most. Other than that i like it good job.
-
thank you very mutch :up: and sorry for my bad english :D :oops:
I will re-apply new one

390 players? I'd rather be honest and stick to reality ;)
Tips: use more conventional fonts, work on the text message beforehand and format it to appear more homogeneous.
Do you remember America's Army 2?
Do you think you've ever seen a game like America's Army 2?
Do the words AA, Fun and Teamwork ring a bell in your head?
Do you miss the hours spent playing a game you'll never forget?
Do you want to play that game again, with your comrades and own like in the good old days?
Now you can.
America's Army is back!

Sorry for 390, but i think that a little lie can help the cause and encourage players to come back. :P
I simply used Photoshop and i divided the image into link-areas.

Now if someone can suggest to Battletracker admins to send this DEM to all America's Army players, maybe something can happend.

I'd suggest to change the 390 into 250 which is approximatley the highest ammount of players we got ....

OOOOOOOOOK fixed, but it's only a little lie that can help the cause... it's not a cheat :D

Battletracker accounts are linked to emails, but most likely several of those accounts are sitting in dust as much as the emails they're linked to. I remember Marten (AAODaily administrator) saying he had a list of players emails, of course the matter is the same as for the Battletracker accounts list.
On the other hand, if you have a chance of getting more directly to potential America's Army players you can also post this kind of message on forums (with the permission of their forum administrators). I'm not a Battlefield player myself but i guess there are several BF communities out there. Same might be worth for other communities (Arma, perhaps).
Anyway, you should polish your message a little more, imho :)

I think that the player amount being online every day (600) on the poster is the bigger problem :hihih:
-
Don't lie about how many people play the game. That makes everyone look bad and won't help us at all. Not to mention the photoshop job is way too obvious.

Woah, at a quick glance, I didn't even notice it. Yea, don't include that. Maybe make it 200 or something, that's more realistic.
-

U'd be surprised honestly

U'd be surprised honestly
Yea, I think it's actually higher than that. Didn't Jonny say it was up in the thousands? It's just that people come and go so frequently.
-
Im playing many hours a day (many hours too much) and I can assure you thousand wouldn't be unlikely
-
as you can see I modified that number: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21339157/AAO25Assist_adv.html (https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21339157/AAO25Assist_adv.html)
but, if you show 30 players in game, i have a big doubt about the massive return of old players... whenever, i tryed to do something to help the cause, but maybe i only need to "open eyes"... America's Army is a "walking dead" :cry:
-
Redo the screenshot for the statistics. It's obvious that you're photoshopping it. Your monitor has poor grey colors (like mine, that's why I didn't notice at first) but if you zoom in, there is obvious difference between the background of the 250 and the background of the stats altogether.
-
250 looks newer than the rest statistics numbers :D More white, different type also I think.
-
U're doing a great work dude but your photoshop sucks haha. On my screen the difference is hudge :D
Anway very good initiative ;) What's the initial number btw?
