Any of the developers considered submitting Wesnoth to GameHippo.com? It's a large repository of freeware games, and now that Wesnoth is at version 1.0 it seems like a perfect time to get some more publicity!

Probably because they have never heard of Wesnoth before, and with so many submissions, they don't have time or interest to look at the website or try the game. So, they reject it.turin wrote:Hm... I wonder why...Dave wrote:In other news, my submission to slashdot was rejected.
Or, they might just not think that Wesnoth is fun, interesting, innovative, or news-worthy.
Of course, it has been heard of that if they get many duplicate submissions they figure it must be news-worthy. I'm not going to submit again, but others are welcome to if they want.

You could talk about it in comments. Subject those guys to the "Wesnoth effect".

Posting Wesnoth
I have posted a link to Wesnoth.org and a few positive words about the 1.0 release in a few forums for other wargames that I play. I don't know if it has much effect but that is not the point. Just glad to share something that is worthwhile.

Dave - quite the contrary, some of them know about Wesnoth:

I imagine they have quite a lot of submissions, though.

I posted a brief announcement in the Off-Topic section of Groklaw (a web site dedicated to reporting and analyzing legal threats to free/libre software, especially the SCO suits). I basically said, "if you need a break from the legal battles, try out some elf battles".
But I got a very interesting response that said it wasn't really all that off-topic because someone has made a SCOvWorld campaign for Wesnoth! Unfortunately, my request for more info on this campaign has gone unanswered. So now I'm incredibly curious--has anyone seen this campaign? Where can I get a copy? Why isn't it on the campaign server?
p.s. if I haven't said it before, congrats on the 1.0 milestone! Yay!
