http://www.virginmediabusiness.co.uk/pitch-to-rich/start-up/the-realm-gaming-ltd/ Shamelessly plugging for votes here guys. We have an opportunity to partner with Virgin to give this thing a running start, I'd be extremely grateful for your support!
Doesn't look like I can vote on my tablet - I'll do so tomorrow when I get on my pc. Besides that, this looks really cool and it would be great to see this get through
Website doesn't work. It just loads for ever. And ever. And ever. And ever. And ever. And ever. And ever. And ever. And ever. *creepy blank expressionless face*.
Yeah looks like it's been inundated. It seems to work every so often. I suspect it's all the awesome people heading over to vote for us that's broken it
Hi again everyone, Voting has been re-opened for the next couple of days because of technical issues with the site last time around. If you were having difficulties last time, please could I ask you to take a couple of minutes to try again today? http://www.virginmediabusiness.co.uk/pitch-to-rich/start-up/the-realm-gaming-ltd/ I'd also be extremely grateful if you're able to share this around a few more places to anyone who you think might be interested!
I'll post it up on the star citizen forums tonight if I remember (maybe you could remind me after 5?)... Lots of people there might be interested in this, SC is big on the live events and such.
<3 They've just sent out a tweet saying that there are delays sending out the verification emails apparently, so you might need to check your inbox in a bit.
Voted for you mate, saw it on FB before here though! Unfortunately vote wise you don't seem to be in the running, but it's good exposure for you I guess, and shows that you've got a pitch together. As you mentioned on Facebook, you really need to re-record the video. Its ok and does the job, but I don't think it does you any favours. If I were in your shoes, I'd be doing that asap, building together a good plan and presentation materials, and pitching to angel investors and venture capitalists and the like. You might well be doing this already! Best of luck with the project. When you get it going, I will expect a few free drinks and a tour, in return for promoting the crap out of it hehe
Yeah, the video does have some serious shortcomings - the main barrier to a re-record right now is that the fellow sitting next to me currently lives up in north Scotland, while I'm down here in sunny(!) Essex. That's one of the time constraints I mentioned - and also one of the reasons we had to use less-than-ideal hardware to do the recording... and that we didn't have time to do a better take. We've got some fairly advanced plans in the works - this is primarily a marketing thing and if we did manage to get a few hundred more votes, getting a shot at the potential prize of a significant marketing budget isn't to be sniffed at. I'm still hopeful: trying to get something pushed through with some of the gaming media which could generate some significant extra exposure if we can manage it. Thanks very much for your support, and don't worry I'm sure I can get you a free drink or three when you pay us a visit
