This isnt a bad idea, we have tried everything else to try getting more players.
This is a terrible idea.
People should earn stats.
You want more players?
Then do real advertising, use google ads, get more than four irl friends of yours to join, and tell them to get their friends and so on.
Post it on Facebook, make a facebook group and advertise it.
google ads is over 100$ a month and nobody donates enought for me to pay that, i dont use facebook, ever so if you want to make one feel free, all my irl friends that play rsps's are playing. Tbh if the count doesnt increase me and Ozzy are going to turn to "desperate measures" and i dont think any of you will like that, but it will be are next best shot at more players.
