Just a little something to invite more users, and have a bonus with the present user also. The only idea I've got is the link, with the user ID as a tracker for the referral. But the bonus is something else. Any more ideas?

Another route would be for Steve to put the game up on game ranking websites and we could vote for the game every day. That'd get more eyes on it if enough of us voted daily.

You can just link to the site if you'd like to recommend it. We are listed on a few game voting sites. For example: OnlineSportManagers.com You're welcome to vote for us, but I don't really encourage (offer incentives for) excessive voting as other sites do. Steve

I know this is a little unfair because of the "once-a-week draft" thing, but since the draft is also hot and cold for some reason, I'm thinking this bonus would also do right for the referrer and the new player.
