How does social cred work?

These days public feedback is so easy. A "like", "thumbs up", or share is just a click away. A comment is even better. People do this for big budget movies and other stuff every day. You might not realize it, but social feedback like this goes a long way for indie projects like Dog Fight: Starship Edition.

There can be many reasons why social interaction is important. For Dog Fight, we're at a stage where word of mouth is the best (and sometimes the only) way to get more people involved, or to even know about the game. On the interwebs this translates to organic social media interaction.

Board Game Geek, Twitter, and Facebook are great venues for this kind of feedback, mainly because there is so much traffic on these websites. That's how other people find out. But it only works if you participate. At the end of the day, your interaction is what social credit amounts to. And this is a two way street. If projects, groups, or companies don't respond to what you tell them (which assumes you've told them something in the first place) it won't work. Both sides of the equation must act for the magic to happen, the magic of getting you the stuff you want or need.

If it's for Dog Fight or something else, if you like something you see online please "like" it while you're there. It's a good habit to cultivate and costs nothing to show that "hey, I like this" or to respond to a question or survey. That simple gesture is extremely helpful to small indie projects like this one and big projects alike.
