Re: Game Promotion
I would suggest gathering all the college students on the forums and making a flyer that they can download, print out, and post on their college campus.
Re: Game Promotion
Or you know..any other students on any other campus...

Re: Game Promotion
One fairly easy thing (if you have facebook) is adding this Wesnoth Page as an interest on your facebook.

Re: Game Promotion
A flyer (available for download at Wesnoth home page, in different formats) would be great. You can also make a micro-flyer containing a name, description and URL.
You can subscribe to the Facebook page, or add the YouTube trailer to your favourite videos. You can link these from your web page. (Somewhere in this forum, there were Wesnoth banners, too.)
If you have more time, you can organize a Wesnoth multiplayer competition in your local school.

Re: Game Promotion
Of course I think the wikipedia article of wesnoth can be a great help for promoting it. In fact the articles of spanish, italian and other are quite old with the old graphics (it's incredible realize how wesnoth graphics have evolved). We can made a post to make a wikipedia article all together and then translate it to other languages. It's just an idea.

Re: Game Promotion
I'm not saying it's not a good idea to write Wikipedia articles on Wesnoth in as many languages as possible, or to have a strong, detailed Wikipedia article, but keep in mind that Wikipedia has a policy about this
Re: Game Promotion
you could go on other games then constantly game URL's or links to wesnoth ^^

Re: Game Promotion
Don't missunderstand me please. I'm not saying that we must make open publicity in wikipedia. I'm just thinking about having complete information of the game on wikipedia for all the people who want to know what's wesnoth can read a good article. It's not the same, there are matices.

Re: Game Promotion
I didn't think you meant that, but I've seen other games end up in trouble because fans misused Wikipedia, so I thought it'd be better to say something, just to be safe
Re: Game Promotion
I think its a great idea to promote the game if you enjoy it. I will be sure to do so even more than the friends that I have already gotten to try it.
Its a pretty cool phenomenon. If everyone gets a couple people to try, and they in turn get a couple to try, it could balloon very quickly.

Why would it not be? That's called "word of mouth"...
