Death Inc

Post your idea's for promoting death Inc.


Here's one of my small clip idea's for death Inc promo. (Got idea and joke from Shaun micallef)
Person dressed as the grim reaper playing on a PC, someone from several metre's away yells "who are you", the grim reaper replies "I am Death"
This repeats 2 more times with everyone getting louder, then the person yelling at grim says "sorry mate I though you were deaf"
Then the font saying join Death Inc, or brought to you by death Inc.

(This to me is a very important announcement because I want to promote this good clan and give something back)
So post what you think of the above clip idea and any idea's for music, images and any other promotion to spread the word, cheers all.

I absolutely agree that we need to do some work to promote the clan. It seems to me that the MWO and LoL guys have been shouldering most of the recruitment workload (good on you guys) but they shouldn't have to.

I think once the "real" competitive ladders for MWO and PS2 start up we will have a much easier time of bringing in new blood, and we will also have more material with which to create good quality promotional videos/images etc.

I don't know the timeline for when Australian competitive MWO stuff will be starting up (maybe it has already, I'm sure anglo will be able to fill this in) but I know that the PS2 devs are looking to add in organised competitive play/esports support early this year.

Recruitment is hard because its dependant on having a sizable force in any game showing our skill and acting professional, which in turn may cause people to be like "wow I want in that clan".

Also its up to the individual member to ask people if they would like to be apart of a great community.

MWO organised play is about 6 months away. we are working on some advert stuff.. (EMONK,Jimmy, sillen and sandy all have great idea's) but it will take hord work and some cash to get most of it rolling..

It will take effort and time, but with networking with the right people , small clips won't cost much, if the clip is good enough and or funny enough then the chance's increase of the clip going viral, hence promoting the clan to a bigger audience. I have friends that work for channel 31 in Melb, they could help film and edit and act.

Here is an other idea ; Have on the death Inc web site in forums a heading of idea's, for clan and individual's, idea's from good old house hold tips to new idea's for games.

You're trolling, right?  :o


It's called the Ask Chalice section  ;)

Well it might help if clan members actually started wearing their tags in-game. ARMA II *cough*

Here's some Benadryl for ya mate.

Clan Valhalla's kill the VIP wasteland event. 60 players 9 of which were DI all of us with our tags on.



Relax mate, Death Inc has been up for around 10 years, we get new members almost daily. I think were pretty good when it comes to numbers.
 

I also promote the clan using my sig on other forums. example OCAU.

Another suggestion i would like to make is, the website could do with some SEO optimisation.
Doing a google on "Australian Gaming Clan" does not show deathinc or even searching "Goat Shagging Gamers" produces zero results for deathinc.

How can we expect more members if they can't even find us under goat shaggers.

You will probably have to wait for Chal to come back from his Oral cleansing Cordz to sort that 1 out......

We already did that not long ago.
Look at www.deathinc.com.au

We probably need more people linking to us to boost our rank. It may help if people that use their DI sig in other forums have a line of text like 'Premier Australian Gaming Clan' and hyperlink to www.deathinc.com.au
At the end of the day SEO only gets you so far in the listings. Its possible that whoever did the SEO did something dodgy to try and boost our ranking, and got us blacklisted on google.

Personally I think its a bit of a waste of time/money... most of our recruits are referred in-game by existing members, according to their recruitment posts. I doubt many people search google for a clan to join.

Personally i'm not sure what the panic is all about. Sure self promotion is fantastic.There are new members joining every day. Retention is a big +!!! Just as much as recruiting. We are represented in nearly every game style atm which is fantastic tbh.

Sam provides all the retention that DI needs.

Well good to see, forgive me as the last few times ive played no1 was wearing them.

I did :(

yeah well your weird Harry, dont you have connections like the rest of us :P

well then our rank in google must be fine, therefore we don't need SEO. QED

So should I start lurking on TS more frequently again to just chat and say hi to the new guys, hurhur, even though I'm back in MMO hell (GW2 this time tho!).

I found out about DI through Anglo — so if there are any kindred spirited goat-loving co-workers you can bring into the fold... do it.

I help by being less of a cunt when I have my tags on.

I typed in "Australian Gaming Clan" and we came up half way down on the 2nd page. We gotta get to that top spot on the 1st page :D

...so volunteer Chalice to get us on the news? :3

we would do better if we had you do that......

I don't think that's a fair test, google knows who you are. Mine aggressively promotes links to obscure porn....oh wait DI comes up first for me :) (i didn't actually perform that search)

Perhaps there is some room for improvement in our search rank

I wonder what happened in 2009

When was goatse born?

Norton was my first love child and became the mascot for Death Inc, IIRC it was about 4 years ago. Some one had asked about Norton anti virus and i told them that Norton blows goats....

Here is Norton as a young lad at the beach with Chal learning to surf :D

The original site, goatse.cx, was created in like 2001.

The guy that pulls his arse open is Kirk Johnson and he is like 50 or 60 now, I forget exactly.

Donut....do you just randomly know these things or do you google/wiki the weird part of the Internet?

He lives in the wierd part of the internet.

Also i have a licence for vbulletin board i would like to donate to deathinc. Can we change the website/forums?

Goatse was a big deal back in the day, a lot of people were talking about it.

also this http://gawker.com/5899787/
I remember that Kirk had a channel on one of those streaming porn sites, like xtube or something, where you could watch videos of him sticking things up his arse. He also had a 70's pornstache

I find tub girl more disturbing... although Goatse was the first time I realised that what has been seen cannot be un-seen.

The worst thing I've seen on the Internet was swap.avi

Some goons on SA found some Brazilian site where you could write a porn script and they'd film it for you. So they wrote the most disgusting thing you can think of involving vomit and scat swapping, took up a collection and had it made.


The result is 10 times worse than 2 girls 1 cup ever was

must resist the google urge

i regret the time cowcar pointed me at the promo video for the "Brazilian Fart Porn" website...

Are there stairs in your house?

I am protected

To answer Dirty Harry and others about my second post on the first page of this forum heading, I was trying to say It would be good if there was a main heading (along with social gaming ect, and or on the side of DI web site) that was titled : Idea's for promoting death inc. Though now i started this forum in important announcements, I can see how some people may think It's not needed.

If the clan wishes to grow we need to open our selves to more games, more games more gamers

Toki asked a good question, why doesn't DI have it's own you tube channel? I though it was a good Idea.

I think because we dont have a collection of personal made vids involving DI members

Not ones You Tube would let us broadcast to the public anyway... *coughcoughLentzsballsackcough*

Do you often choke on lentz ballsack jazzy?

Talent developed a workaround for ball gagging he is hoping to share with the world.

I recall someone volunteering to do vids a while ago, a youtube channel would be sweet, but a lot of work. I could be wrong but there was a downloadable version for Fraps on the website.

Damit had the fraps stuff sorted and youre right some oen else wanted to do vids.

I often wonder if we had a fortnightly or monthly game night and if there was a prize, would that entice other newbies to tell their mates "Join here and be social can win you shit!"

We could get Dex to offer up something from ACT as a reward or something from steam.

Just an idea.

I think it's just generally the clan doesn't want to fork out money to bring in new members, and with good reason. We've got this far without paying more than server rentals.

I can also see prizes etc. being a double edged sword. If you're not great at a game, the added pressure of a prize may end up frustrating people.

Youtube vids would be good. They only cost time to make, in essence.

Also it could be argued that people should want to participate anyway without there needing to be some sort of material reward for doing so ;)

i'm not cool on prizes..

Braggin' rights

The only 'competition' that was cool was the one that Donut organised on the forums about naming the game to which esoteric screenshots belonged (ignore the fact that I won a prize :P ).

We can bring in new members without selling out more than our bodies and Norton. xD

WTF, not selling our bodies...that does not sound like DI...my man

Lol.

Maybe make a a thread for the weekly game night MVP. A thread where one outstanding player could be singled out for either good scores, helping people, humor....etc. almost like the employe of the month parking space at your work .

Maybe use reverse psychology in order to produce an air of exclusivity. A slogan like "You can't join Death Inc., so don't even try" would get the attention of possible members. Treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen  >:D

I think that would create a reputation of elitism.

hmmm I agree, makes us sound like a clan of 12 year olds playing cod on xbox live

I like this, we've had similar things before, but not as prizes for weekly social nights. The idea of not necessarily rewarding points, but teamwork, sportsmanship or funny buggery makes it a lot more inclusive.

So I was totally taking the piss as I had nothing original or constructive to add. BTW I have no problem with being elitist; I am a PC gamer.
