A big problem OKgamers has already - people think it's a clique - lol. Yea, a public website that has open invites and welcoming groups - is a clique. Sigh.
Still - even if this idea will work to only help that perspective - I wonder it's effectiveness... Or if it's just too late - and I should be asleep.

Idea: Create "OFFICIAL OKGAMERS FIGHTING GAMER" shirts
- tagline "THE BEST OK HAS TO OFFER, AND FOR SURE BETTER THAN YOU."
Or - along those lines
A low cost shirt, 5 to 8$, that we get printed up locally for anyone that has attended and played in X amount of tournaments, and showed up to X amount of local gatherings, etc...
Every few to 6 months we can do another run of shirts for those that have hit the qualifications - and award it to them at the next event, or just hand it out to the local gamer leaders and have them do it at their next practice.
PRO's - unity. Rewarding those that stick around. Another way to be elitist? lol
CON's - could really backfire, and only run people off in droves, more so.
It was an idea at least.
We could also include a "Want to Stop SUCKING? ASK HOW." sort of tag line...
Anyway - we'd need REAL COOPERATION, and have the leaders of the groups wearing it:
SSM - would need to be down
MvC - if they exist? Would need to be down.
MK - Rev and Bunny and whoever else you've amassed? Down.
SC players - will do whatever it takes to find more gamers hahah.
Anyway - we all know true fighting gamers are a rare breed - why not be bold about it, and stir the pot enough to find more?
