Good for your bravery. As I said earlier, the encouraging part is beyond first, retrieving the absent PBM players, then gaining the next generation, and we have had some success with that but it takes mentoring from existing players to do that. It's just a strange thing for people under 30.
Maybe a good start for a Consortium agenda would be to retain a spokesperson of some notoriety and good voice to do a Youtube to introduce what PBM is. Somewhat awkward, since its not PBM anymore. But the idea being to explain in a couple minutes the multi player (not massive player) strategy, turn based, text based genre is like and why you should try it. Maybe the companies offer a free game that participate? If we had ten companies each contributing $1000 and having their links there shown, with maybe production values like graphics and sound behind it, and link with Facebook, other social media.
Anyway, like I said, other efforts like this have not gotten anywhere.
Editing for clarity: I mean a celebrity voice that is recognizable, not one of us. So something like Morgan Freeman to do a 3 minute voice over an agreed upon script, and then graphics as well.
