So I had a couple ideas for ways I wanted to promote the game as i travel about.. Mostly I've been waiting for 2.0 to drop before implementing them but also I've been thinking about an improved referral system. Currently it really only functions for ppl that are literally standing next to each other, and yes, I remember the other week when we were sharing our QR codes in discord, but for the sake of argument let's just say that I don't have a printer (because I don't ). I like the ability to scan the qr code for rss's like scrapping, but I'm wondering if we can improve its functionality. Granted I'm not particularly skilled in these things but isn't it possible to have one QR code that if you scanned, it would take you to the listing in the app store, and I guess you'd have to scan it again to complete the referral, but even after, it would still work for your scrapping purposes.. The idea being that I want to make stickers with my QR referral code on them and go slap em up on bus stops and things that function like old phone booths used to.. But it needs to be idiot proof because..you know.. Ppl are idiots I think even that Valar had made some printouts a couple months ago right after I joined that just had like the game logo and his QR on it. Granted I'd also like to increase the rewards or suggest that we go all Amway on it like a pyramid scheme .. I'd love to see something where if you got into a war that all the ppl you've recruited would rally like 5% of their troops to your banner.. But invariably that idea just doesn't fly. Or maybe just toss a little ubt at ppl when they do the lvl 10/extra bases thing. We need to get ppl talking about this again once 2.0 drops. Everybody likes a little more loot, but really I just want that QR code to work a little better. You guys know the drill, if there's anything else you're thinking along these lines..

Hi all, Watch out for version 1.8.7 on the Play Store (and a bit later this week on the App Store; hopefully tomorrow!), which introduces the "Refer a Friend" facility; a new item on the side menu. This window contains a QR code unique to each player, which can be scanned using the "Scrap Items" facility. When you do that with a new player (it doesn't matter who scans whose QR code; player with with the oldest account is considered to be the party referring another player) they will be awarded with a "starting bonus pack" that includes 300 Money and 30 Supplies - the exact amount required to construct an Assembly Plant, possibly the most helpful building in the beginning. The referring party doesn't receive a reward straight away, but will receive 200 Money and 5 Supplies every time any of the referred players establishes a new non-primary base or whenever their primary base reaches level 3. Please note that you can post your unique QR code online: any new player who "Scraps" a picture of it will be considered as referred by yourself (receiving the appropriate referral rewards mentioned above). You can only be referred once, but even if you or another player is already referred you can still "Scrap" someone else's QR code every 24 hours: referral QRs are considered to be "super barcodes" that award x5 more resources than the usual barcodes (with a 5% chance to receive an item or a lot more resources than that!). However, non-referral scrapping of another player's QR code only works when you do it using their real device located in proximity to yours. If you attempt to scrap someone's QR code shared online for referral purposes and that player's device isn't located close to yourself you will not gain any special bonuses and the scrapping charge will be wasted, awarding regular low-level rewards of a fake bar code. As always, please post if you have any questions or feedback!
