Bootleggers Buzz Sound Off! MadamNyxxie

In this segment, you will be given a weekly topic to debate about. You can post your opinions, comments, criticism and ideas in the Game Forum when there is an official topic made!

Next week, 5-10 (depending on how many we get) random opinions will be placed on the Buzz along with a new debate question!

NEXT WEEK'S DEBATE!
What do you think of the Nation Don feature now that you know what they are capable of?

THIS WEEK'S DEBATE!
Do you believe the buzz contest caused more readers, or got you to read the Buzz?




I think it makes me read the buzz more often. I never used to read the buzz that much but now i read every issue. I think that with Air as mod its a lot easier to bring the buzz as more a part of the game rather than just a separate news section, which in turn makes it easier to hold these very fun contests, which in my opinion is good!

I thought it was good, I was interested to see the report on the contest in the Buzz although, I would have read the Buzz regardless it was just one more thing to look forward too.

I think it made me 500 points poorer.

Contests like the one that gave money to the person who wrote the best freelance article makes me read it more. Contests like the car stealing had nothing to do with the Buzz, it didn't change the fact that I read the Buzz and I doubt it changed a "none-reader" to reader.

I read the buzz already. I think it brings more fun into the game though. It kept a lot of people occupied for a while!

I don't think that contests will make people get off their lazy asses and go and read it. They will just continue to play the contests if they are posted in the game forum, and continue to reap the benefits. I read the buzz every week, but I rarely play the contests. I don't care that much.

The contest was great! I think it is awesome that you all were able to put something like this together..Its really fun when the competitions are integrated into the game in the way that this one was! I also think it is awesome that the MODS/others are willing to donate so much for a huge prize! that is great! Personally it doesn't make me read the buzz more because I already read it every week, but I can imagine that if I didn't read it, that I would now.

I agree & disagree! Contests equal more readers obviously.. but saying that I read the buzz anyway What the Buzz needs is more controversial articles & more freedom to write other issues.
