Here's the simple idea:

- Go to http://www.gamecake.net/cake/
- Read the guidelines, and register a new account.
- Enter as much keywords as you can think of that are associated with game development. This can range from toolkit specific keywords like 'rm2k' or 'panaroma' or 'sprite' to character development keywords like: 'character', 'story', 'emotion' etc..

BONUS AWESOME PRIZE: For the two top players, I will mail you a box full of AWESOME CRAP all the way from here in Waterloo, Canada. Talk about foreign stuff right there! This is of course optional, and only if you want to give me your mailing address.

I will run this for about a week or two, depending on the amount of keywords. First 2 people to have the most will get premium memberships. I may reveal in a few days who are the top 5 "players" so there is perhaps some more competition


Anyways, GOGOGOGOG NOW AND DO THIS

Awesome. I'll be doing this.

PS: 59 so far. Don't think I'll be winning this.

Is this to improve our google hits and help bring more guests here?

If so, I'd just like to warn everyone that we may see an influx of new members who are interested in "grandpa sex"

edit: also, who drew the couch-cake logo??? it's awesome

Yeah, that logo is shit-hot. Well done to whoever did it.

A leaderboard would be a great idea Bart - a competitive spirit would get you many more keywords, methinks. The bonus prize sounds sweet - an idea would be that a winner could request an item for you to buy (for under 10 dollars or something similar). That'd make many far away people (myself included) work harder, since I can't for the life of me find a 40 oz of malt liquor anywhere in Australia.

It is, yah, but I don't think it will be very useful. when I pick the winners, and the top guy has every single word has singular/plural then I won't let them win

Capitals don't matter .. all text is going into the database as lower

As many keywords :(

As many :(


I will never win but I would still love to get that box (even though Waterloo is only about 45-60 minutes from here so it would not be exotic!).
