I know this was tried already but i forgot why people stopped posting when pms were going on. Even if the person hosting doesn't have a twitter someone who knew that they were starting or about to start should have tweeted.
Sounds good to me. Who ran it before? Chron? It's really up to whoever get's them started the most or w/e. Maybe skill?
It was Skill that was trying to do it with some other people i forget. The problem i feel is it should be everyone's responsibility to post there is a pm not the person who is hosting it. Since i just got a smart phone im able to check twitter when im not in front of a computer. The only way i feel that the twitter thing will work is if more than half of the players that play have an account so they can check it. If only 3 people will participate then it doesn't even matter to try.
I don't "use" twitter. I have a account but I just have it linked with youtube to auto post when I do something just because I can. I don't know one person that actually uses twitter though for the intended purpose. I would only see this working if you get a text from twitter when x person tweets out. But I have no clue if that feature exist for phones that can't access twitter. Also would need to be a shared account between frequent players so someone could always tweet. I just text people when private matches are getting started. Works well if they are available they will usually get on if not then they wont. Much easier to get peoples phone number than to get them to make a twitter account.
You can actually setup your phone so it does vibrate or have some form of notification when a selected person sends a tweet. It is also better if everyone has there own account so anyone playing the pms can tweet that there is one going on. All the other people have to do is follow the people tweeting. It is similar to text messaging anyone you want but people can see your conversations between people and they can respond back to your tweets or chime in to a set of tweets between different people like a forum. The reason why i dont want to use text is because i dont want to give people like purplescratchy or skill (and others) my number simply because i dont trust them and dont like them but i wouldn't mind following them on twitter.
Tbh I haven't even used twitter like once...ever lol. Isn't there a way that you can make a group chat with phones? Idk if group chats show numbers or not though.
This is how the CoD community organizes 8s and stays in touch. Twitter is pretty simple after like an hour of learning it.
It was me Chron and Wildman before.. it worked for like 2 weeks but nobody else had one. @s_kay_eye_ el_el
No offense, but two people already have my phone number. I'm not going to check twitter for pms in a 3 year old arcade game. Count me out if this happens.

It's fine if you dont want to participate. As long as half of the players the players that regularly play get involved then they text whoever doesn't have a twitter. Also if you guys noticed my sig its says when im online and streaming so i dont have to post anymore =)
i dont want to share skype information with people i dont trust. Skype is like DDOS city if you know how
