Hi M.O.Ms and all fellow Dogfighters;
It's "crunch time". Roughly two weeks left to meet our goal and get the game Joaquin wants to create and we all want to play.
Estimates are tricky things, but there's reason to believe that Dogfight has approx. 200,000 registered players. Not everyone who plays uses the forum...not everyone who uses the forum can afford to, or cares to, make a pledge to Dogfight Elite.
If we can motivate
just one out of ten players to pledge just five or ten dollars (or more...as much as you possibly can) Joaquin will meet his funding goal and the game we've been waiting for, many of us for a year, two years, will become a reality.
I still see players all day every day asking "What's Dogfight Elite?" or "What's all this 'pledge' stuff about?" They need to be informed.
Brainstorming time: many of us have adopted new tags and new names to raise awareness. What else can we do? Ideas; bring 'em on, however far fetched. With our combined efforts this shouldn't be hard.
I've just created a new squad tag;
$10 To Dogfight Elite I invite everyone who cares to to join. And don't be shy about pitching unfamiliar players in-game. The message is clearly not getting out. WE can get it out.
If you're like me, i.e. broke, you can still come up with ten bucks. Or twenty, or five, or whatever change falls out of your pockets into the sofa cushions while you're spending hours on end enjoying this game we all love.
Repeat after me, "PLEDGE NOW TO DOGFIGHT ELITE!!"
I know we're all saying variations on the same thing. Redundancy may well be the key....let's bombard the DF community with this simple message and easily reachable goal. I've been working on promo material for DFE, trying to keep the M.O.M Flights project moving, haven't had time to keep track of the thread. I'm proud of all the M.O.Ms who've stepped up and done more than their part. Time for the rest of us to put our few bucks where our mouths are.
DOGFIGHT ELITE CAN HAPPEN. WE CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN. Not through our own pledges but through two weeks of concentrated blitz campaigning that makes the question "What's Dogfight Elite?" obsolete. Hit it so hard they'll pay just to get us to shut the hell up.

They'll thank us when the new game launches.
