Day 23: Das Tal Goes Free-for-All for 24 Hours
---
Hey everbody!
We have eight days to make this Kickstarter campaign successful. It's time to get into promotion overdrivemode. =D The first thing needed for that? We'll make the game available for everyone next week to enable you to convince your doubting friends. We've been told that "you have to play it to understand it" - let's get this started then!

24 Hour Free-for-All on June 9th
We've decided to turn the last 24 hours of the Kickstarter into a big play session for all of us. Devs, Supporters, Backers and everybody else. Starting at 1 PM UTC / 3 PM CEST / 9 AM EDT / 6 AM PDT on June 9th we'll open the game server(s) and everybody will be able to create a temporary game account using the following key: free4all.
For this 24 hour session we'll also have our first draft of the leaderboard system in the game. That means that when the campaign ends we'll be able to crown the most successful clan in the game for the first time.
And of course we'll be with you in the game world, streaming our own play sessions. We'll organize Exile, our dev clan, organize a couple sieges and and do a lot of small-scale PvP as well. I'm looking forward to some good solo PvP fights to show.

We need your voices: Share your experiences
Many of you have asked what you can do to support the campaign. The answer is simple: Tell as many people about it as you can. The best way is to create a post on your online home bases. Since you are a local there and not a self-promoting developer you posts have way more weight than ours.
But please do not spam those places. Just mention the game where it fits. Create a new thread thread if there is there is no existing one. If there's already one then use it to tell people about your play experience and bring it back to life. Here's a couple places that would help us a lot if we'd be visible on them:
Social News
Forums
Games Press

Today: Reddit AMA
As announced yesterday: If you have questions about us, our studio, the game and the campaign then you should also join us for our "Ask Me Anything" session on Reddit/AMA. We'll start a thread there at 2 PM UTC / 4 PM CEST / 10 AM EDT / 7 AM PDT. We'll be around for a while so please drop in whenever you are awake and ask us all the questions you might have.

Shout-Out: Medieval Engineers
Today's shout-out comes courtesy of Marcus who is a big fan of new-school (post-Minecraft) sandbox games. Medieval Engineers comes from the makers of Space Engineers and it promises you the abiltity to construct your own castle - and obviously also tear one down with a big-ass catapult. Interested in pop-medieval craftsmanship? Go check them out on Early Access.

@Ian Good point. Maybe we'll make a one-hour-break before the campaign ends to give people a last chance to back and then fire the servers up for another couple hours afterwards. =D

Fantastic, hope it makes the final push.
Buuut I suggest that you end the FreeForAll session an hour before the KS campaign ends. Otherwise you might get people playing, enjoying, wanting to back but not wanting to quit yet, and then the session ends and it's too late to support the campaign.
