How about some personalized business cards in the shop? If users could add custom info as well as account based info (member since ___, level __, websites, etc), move it around freely, or chose a pre-defined layout, and select a custom background from the art portal/dump, at a decent price, I'd definitely buy a batch.

Why? On the trip home, I saw plenty college age kids, who have no clue about our little corner of reality. If I had a bunch of cheap and cheerful, pre-made cards, I would have dutifully handed them out. Anyone who trusts you enough with their mailing address, would certainly not hoard these cards... T-shirts and stickers, sure, but getting the word out would be easier, with a simple 3.5x2 piece of paper.

When you mentioned the tin I was like, "Oh crap, the tin is still downstairs! People might have dug into it!" but luckily it was in-tact so it's now safely waiting for Sabs. The card idea is really cool... I wonder if people would even use them as personalized cards, if we printed them individually with the userpage URL of the user who is receiving the payment.... HMMM.

Make it (having a username on the card) an option you can check! I'm thinking orange (like the one I'm typing on) background, with raised black ink for the stock card.. then you could print the names in office? Any cards mailed to the supporters and ad-rev receivers, would go a long way in getting our love out to the brain-dead masses! Either that or make up a few ink-stamps, so we can deface dollar bills :P

Whoops, almost forgot, since the ballot wasn't there waiting for me, after I read this news post 2 days ago.

Yeah, sometimes it's fine, but there are too much games that are for smaller themed communities.

You know the slogan, Everything, by Everyone. ;)

Even though I do like the old one better...

Many of the big games are a bit generic, but it feels like a lot of new concepts are introduced with Ludum Dare. It's like a cloud of creativity that rains down upon the grounds, and since they're short you get to take a bite out of everything. Just my nine cents though.

It's cool but could be kept for developers interest or some specific public.
I m sure that by developing the game more, before put it to general public, would make it better. That's what I m talking about.
