How to Save atWar(joke)

I've been thinking about the problems atWar has been having with low player retention/etcetera, and thought about what could be done to save this game. Then an idea hit me! What do a website that serves college students, a bird company, a clock manufacturer, an aerospace company, and a company that sells personalized tubes all have in common? They all became social media outlets!

Facebook was originally a college website, X was originally called Twitter, a company that sells birds and bird products, mySpace(now defunct, but once was a huge deal) originally built rockets, TikTok originally sold clocks, and YouTube sold tubes.

With this in mind, I propose converting atWar into a Reddit like social media company, where people create threads and post on them, with a focus on military history/strategy, and modern day foreign policy, with a cool game that happens to be on the website. This way, there will always be a core of fans for the game, and a steady pipeline of people who have interests in related topics joining the game as well.

Since the website will be largely converted into a social media platform, the game ranks will have to only be visible in the forums for the game, and a prestige system focusing on the number of posts/threads/helpful replies will have to be introduced. There will also have to be an additional premium subscription for the social media side(perhaps $.99/month and $5/year to go ad free, and have the right to have signatures/profile pictures).

I agree with this joke.
