The server pops up a text note that looks just like a note from a web admin.
The note says "Hi guys is everything ok tonight?"
However this message is generated automatically and a log file will record the next 20 messages that are posted.
An hour later another message pops up, again from the admin, it asks. "So what do you think of the new custom map XYZ?" And the next 20 messages are recorded.
Then it asks "So CatintheHat is a bloody great guy, how many beers would you have with him?" And I get a email and invite . . .
Admins can use this for lots of stuff. Spot polls.
Q - "So guys what is your fav map?"
Q - "Do you want more custom maps in the list?"
Q - "Are you happy with this . . . .
and so forth.
The mut also needs to run outside of the normal advertising messages so as to seem somewhat authentic. And even if the player base catches on to the ruse, letting them know if they reply in the next say 20 seconds if they want to be heard, well that aint a bad thing.
Server admins need more stuff to engage their player base. TWI you make a games that engage players, admins need stuff that they can use to engage their community.
