I think it would be cool if there was some kind clan give away which was posted on the TP but you had to at least show up at the Trader Chat to be able to receive the gift. I think this would show people how convenient trader chat could be. People that may not have normally went there. I myself wouldn't have the time to host it. But would be interested in helping get together some of what is given away. Just an idea if you can fill 3 giveaways with 120 plus responses in the tp, wouldn't it be great if those people used trader chat Bonecraven

that violates the rules of the Trading post. TP posts must NOT require posters to visit any link that's not one of the main DC boards. The TC is not hosted by wild.ffiends

sucks though....that's a good idea maybe we host it over here? Also, I don't remember, so somebody refresh my memory...isn't all right to post something in the Salamander Tavern, or such, saying something, "Big party in the TC! Come on in, contests and games going on all day!" Don't remember.

Thanks DS I didnt know at the time I posted that that it was not alloud. I just thought it would be a good idea to get some kind of a buzz going on in the Trader Chat. It is nice when your trying to do a trade and there are actually people in there to talk about it with. I think somehow you could do a give away from there just not sure how you would inform everyone properly.

I know its not allowed to to start a givaway on tp, where people must go on another link to take part in the givaway.... though its legit to post links on tp, , if the giveaway dosent involed to visit another site to take part.. (As when we make clans giveaways, , we can add the clan link, , but not request people to visit our site to take part in the g-away) So I guess we could make a G-away, , call it TC givaway, , post it on the TP, , adding a link to The TC, , but to win, , (or to take part in the givaway) the players DONT HAVE TO VISIT TC.... On another hand, , , promoting the TC, , it s not as promoting ur favorite movie, or ur personnal online business. I mean the TC is related to DC only, , so Even if the official rule might be against it, , I'm shure some mods could understand the purpose of such givaways (helping the game as a whole) , and refrain from deleting it .... depends wich mod is active on that day dathron, , I think the same rule apply for all main DC boards! Again, , I'm shure there is a way to put a legit post about such thing on Tavern! (I.E. *Each evening come join us by the TC! once a week we hold a givaway there!* OR on TP, , *TC g-away, , each blatherer win XXX, , p.s. Visit and use our TC*)

Just a thought....How about posting a time to go like 7p - 9p I have only gone to TC a few times and there's rarely anyone there. Like if I KNEW Dathron was passing out trading pearls of wisdom on like tuesdays between 7 & 8....I'd be there. The site could be promoted as a way for newbies to get educated in real time or something like that. That way you could post in the tavern. Most of you don't give yourself enough credit.....information is a valuable commodity. I think people would be more likely to post there questions in TC where they could get real time answers rather than posting in the tavern and having to keep checking back all the time. NOT THAT I'M DISCOURAGING GIFTING...mine you.

I have always found that when you can talk to actual people to make trades etc in DC its great. I think your ideas about going there to learn about the game is a smart idea too. Its a good way to get people more interested in the game. Getting people interested in trading things in general means that people will want to quest to find new and better things to trade also. Besides that could also be another avenue for W&W to suggest that people join us. Bonecraven

yes torra, I agree that it is much faster to exchange info through the TC than the tavern. For timing, I'm usually there 9-11 EST as well, and I'm at LEAST camping earlier than that, usually. For example, since I have a half-day today, I might be in there as early as 5 or 6, and might be camping almost all afternoon. And last night was definitely a hit, 800 lines in not too much more than an hour I hope everyone participating in last nights giveaway(s) had fun! and if it gets hopping tonight again, who knows, I may start showering people with gifts again!!

What's "camping"? So, are you going to advertise your TC presence at the Tavern? Hey, Dathron, thank you again for all your sage advice

When you're camping, you're there, but not there.

When you're camping, you're there, but not there. Hey, Unknown, could you be a little bit more cryptic? <rolls eyes> While I can appreciate the Zen of your answer it helps me not.....so maybe you should spend some time in the TOT (Time out Thread) pondering the wisdom of not taunting the innocent with "the sound of one hand clapping"!!!!

It seemed simple enough to me You're logged on, but you're away doing something else.
