I like the idea of incentivizing people to talk to their friends about EA, and trying to get Will’s book into their hands. But to me, EA global seems like a really bad fit for this campaign given that a) most of the content isn’t geared toward newcomers b) capacity is already constrained (I believe), and c) if this campaign works and tons of people apply to EAG, many of those people will presumably have a rejection as one of their first interactions with the EA community.

It seems kind of obnoxious that this message was sent to people who were already explicitly rejected.

Hey NAME, quick update for folks that aren’t going to be able to attend EA Global this year.

For the next few days, if you nominate five people who you think might want to go to EA Global we’ll send each of them a free copy of Doing Good Better for applying and we’ll give you a free EA t-shirt. We’ll stop giving away tickets when we run out. Sound fair?

Did some mailing lists get mixed up?

If I click on Nomination leaderboard here I get a page trying to get me to sign up for rise.global; is that intentional?

I noticed there doesn’t seem to be an option to nominate less than 5 people. Not sure if this is a feature but I wanted to just nominate a few people and was unable to.

The link to EA Global does not work (In: if you nominate someone to attend EA Global and they complete their application)
