@Ender my email is lauren[at]stackexchange[dot]com, i'll look for your message and see what i can find out

Lauren

Aug 7, 2012 17:56

@Ender hey, can you shoot me an email with the details of your order?

Lauren

Aug 1, 2012 16:13

if anyone else has an argument for including the other tag please let me know, otherwise we'll keep it just world-of-warcraft

Lauren

Aug 1, 2012 16:13

thnx

Lauren

Aug 1, 2012 16:13

@Mana cool that's what i figured, just wanted to check

Q: Mists of Pandaria Beta - play, ask, answer, win!

25 man testing for Mists of Pandaria beta has finally begun, and guilds like our friends at Midwinter are streaming their raids. While cheering the players on is exciting, it's always a little more fun when you can win something yourself! How would you like some free World of Warcraft Game Time...

Lauren

Aug 1, 2012 16:10

decided to run a small contest during the mists of pandaria beta raiding and want to make sure i'm instructing people to use the right tags

Lauren

Aug 1, 2012 16:09

hey everyone - quick question, do you intend on using the wow-mists-of-pandaria tag? or do you like to keep all expansions tagged just world-of-warcraft?

Lauren

Jul 30, 2012 15:57

because we won't be able to cover travel expenses

Lauren

Jul 30, 2012 15:57

that is, if there are enough in a certain area to hold meetups

Lauren

Jul 30, 2012 15:56

@fbueckert yeah, that's why i'm thinking more along the lines of the "meetup everywhere" - but I don't know how concentrated people are

Lauren

Jul 30, 2012 15:56

then i can discuss with my team

Lauren

Jul 30, 2012 15:55

so what i'd suggest is read through that, come up with an idea of what you want to do at the meetup, and either shoot me an email or make a meta post and ping me to let me know you've made it

Lauren

Jul 30, 2012 15:54

if it was somethign similar to that, we could probably make it happen

Blog - Stack Exchange: Stack Overflow Meetup Everywhere: April 28, 2012

Laura Dobrzynski on March 26, 2012

Last year’s Stack Overflow Meetups were a success, with over 2000 people participating around the world. We’re happy to announce that the Second Annual Stack Overflow Meetup Day is April 28, 2012.

Because the Stack Exchange network grew so much over 2011, we’ve decided our Meetup day should grow, too. This year we’re calling on every hacker, programmer, or designer in the Stack Exchange tech community to meet up with other users, say hello, and maybe learn something. Whether you’re a member of Stack Overflow, Server Fault, Super User, Programmers, Ask Ubuntu, Game Development, or any other technology-themed Stack Exchange site, we want you to be a part of this event.* …

and we'd probably be able to work something out where we provide food, drinks, etc

Lauren

Jul 30, 2012 15:52

i love the idea of you guys organizing a meetup for Arqade

Lauren

Jul 30, 2012 15:52

@fbueckert well the chances of it happening would depend on what you'd like it to be

Lauren

Jul 30, 2012 15:51

do you have a proposal for whta would go on at this meetup/is there a meta post with more details?

Lauren

Jul 30, 2012 15:50

@fbueckert interesting

Lauren

Jul 30, 2012 15:49

@fbueckert the gaming branded t-shirts?

Lauren

Jul 30, 2012 15:35

thnx

Lauren

Jul 30, 2012 15:35

@LessPop_MoreFizz I'll add it to that meta post

Lauren

Jul 30, 2012 15:35

@Kotsu yeah I get the idea from them that there's a lot of excitement around their beta raids, so

Lauren

Jul 30, 2012 15:23

@LessPop_MoreFizz k, I just wanted to try to explain my reasoning for wanting to do a promo during beta

Lauren

Jul 30, 2012 15:20

@RonanForman so in general we don't like beta content?

Lauren

Jul 30, 2012 15:10

i.e. they might find us in google searches

Lauren

Jul 30, 2012 15:10

additionally, getting the content up ahead of time means it's there when the game is released and people are searching for it

Lauren

Jul 30, 2012 15:09

they will see our ad embedded in the streams, and will be more likely to come visit our site if there's a contest/prizes on the ad

Lauren

Jul 30, 2012 15:08

@Kotsu well the idea is that we have the potential to capitalize on all of Midwinter's stream viewers during the beta raid

Lauren

Jul 30, 2012 15:05

glad you feel that way

Lauren

Jul 30, 2012 15:05

@fbueckert haha i think "more contests = good" is a popular opinion

Lauren

Jul 30, 2012 15:01

Q: Reflection on contest frequency, and possible Mists of Pandaria promotion

Edit: Just read through the chat conversation between @LessPop_MoreFizz and @Mark Trapp and it seems I was a little unclear. When I bring up the promotion in conjunction with the MOP 25-man beta raids, I meant a question/answer contest about MOP in general. That is, we wouldn't limit the contest ...

hey everyone - don't want to derail the current conversation, just wanted to answer questions regarding the possible mists of pandaria sponsorship if anyone has any

Lauren

@StrixVaria good point, removed.

Q: Next Leaguecraft ggClassic presented by Arqade - play, ask, answer and win prizes!

The Next Leaguecraft ggClassic kicks off on July 14th, and we’re the title sponsor! To help the pros as they do battle, and make spectating a little more fun, we’re holding a contest to see who can ask and answer the best league-of-legends questions on Arqade. To enter: simple! Play League of...
