MAKE PEACE, GOWAR!

Aloha Soldiers,

we are here to talk about the Leaderboard.

When GoWar first started, in order to motivate users to keep on attacking places, each conquered place made a user earn twice its fame. A sort of a bonus. This led to an important number of your activities (and we are glad) but also gave the possibility to crafty users using fake accounts and other unfair methods to climb the Leaderboard very quickly. More than that, the leaderboard now appears frozen and people being warriors for a long time have managed to accumulate a number of points which is unreachable by anybody else.That's why, from now on, when you conquer a place you'll get the real value from that Place and not anymore the double value. By doing so, we believe the Leaderboard will be more realistic and the game more fun for everyone.

On October 3rd we'll overpass 3 month of GoWar, yeah!! and that when we'll exactly swap the leaderboard to the new calculation method. And do not worry, generals, there's going to be a reward for you! On that date, the first 3 positions on the Leaderboard will win our new official T-Shirt (the Battle Cry T-Shirt) and than you'll all get the chance to prove you value in a fair way. This is one more little step to develop a better game experience for old and new users. Other news will come, so stay tuned! We are sure you'll like it a lot!

1) the new "fame calculation rule" is already in action, but the Leaderboard, till October 2nd, won't change the points already assigned.
2) from October 3nd each user's fame will be re-calculated based only on his empire and acquired badges, missions and challenges, therefore don't worry if you see some changes in the Leaderboard suddenly.

Aloha Soldiers, 

has you can see from our social activity on Facebook and Twitter we are so busy in this period with startup conferences around Europe to promote our social geolocalize game. The reason is simple: we are a young startup and of course we really need to spread the voice in the right environments, enforce our network with good contacts and get investment found.

September is a non-stop travel month, we just came back from London where we joined the Europe Startup Weekend Battle and it was a unique experience for the GoWar Team.

From 19th to 23rd September we'll be at Social Media Week in Milan with our first challenge called "LetMi GoWar".

Than, our CEO Nicola right now till September 21st will be in Koln at the Advance Conference and he will do his pitch at the Open Pitch Arena. Sounds really good, isn't it? 

Last but not at all least Mind the Bridge on 23rd and 24th September in Turin, indeed we passed the first selection, with other 29 startups, and we'll have the chance to go to San Francisco where the startups' world goes two time faster (maybe three time). Stay tuned for this event, we'll let you know all the updates.

So, busy agenda has you can read. Anyway we're 100% focus on the developing area from our HQ in H-Farm: working on new rules, acting against fake accounts and cheaters and fixing all the bugs that day by day we find, or our users. Therfore keep going to give us all your feedback because we really need it to built a strong platform.

Ok Soldiers, follow our trips around Europe with a lot of like and retweet, share the Facebook page to let your friends knows about GoWar and stay tuned for updates form Milan, Koln and Turin!

Make peace, GoWar.

Aloha Soldiers, 

here we are for another adventure outside our HQ in H-Farm. That's right, we'll be in Milan for the E-Festival, the event that aims to bridge the digital divide in our Country by disseminating a culture of constructive and positive digital world. Within the E-Festival we got the great opportunity to be part of the worldwide platform of the Social Media Week and there we'll present our game, our vision and our first official Challenge called "Let Mi GoWar".

How does it work? Nothing more easy and fun: On September 19 we'll present "Let Mi GoWar" on the Social Media Week Stage, the challenge will be available on your iPhone straight away  and will last until September the 23rd. "Let Mi GoWar" is a special contest that involves all the places relevant to the E-Festival of Milan and many more.

All you have to do is: join the Challenge on GoWar with your iPhone, eager to discover new Places in the city and be curious to know the story related to it. Every place is assigned with a specific number of points and linked to a web content that will let you discover new tips about it and find out a bit more about its history. The game play runs as usual, so share your victories on yours and your friends' wall and go around the city to get the most out of it.

How can you win the "Let Mi GoWar" competition? When the competition starts, a Chart updated in real time will show all the players' points and of course your position in the chart: the first 4th positions are going to win special high tech prizes such as photo cameras and digital frames, specifically:

1st. Kodak Easyshare M552
2nd.Kodak Easyshare M5350
3rd. Kodak Pulse digital frame 10''
4th. Kodak Pulse digital frame 7''

We would like to thank Kodak for the fantastic prizes that allow GoWar to do a really engaging competition and of course the organization of the E-Festival and of the Social Media Week for giving us the possibility to partecipate to this event. 

Ok Soldiers, take out the adventurous spirit in you, a good pair of shoes and be ready for a real social virtual war experience.
