I can't make it to GDC this year, but I'd like to reach that audience to recruit more players to The Restaurant Game. I'm going to try a little viral marketing to aid my effort to reach the goal of capturing 1,000 gameplay sessions.
If you're going to GDC, and want to support the cause, print out a few copies of this flier and drop them in strategic locations -- near free stuff, near food, etc. Dropping some near the Independent Games Festival is probably a good idea too.

I sincerely thank the 155 people who have played so far. Keep playing, and don't forget to Digg it, it's del.icio.us.
Servers tests are complete, and The Restaurant Game is officially open for business around the clock. The servers will continue running for the next few months. You will find partners online most easily during peak dining hours of 7-9pm in your preferred time zone, but you are welcome to play any other time as well.
I will begin posting daily project stats on the web page soon. (How many games have been played, by how many players, etc).
Digg the Restuarant, it's del.icio.us. Help me spread the word about the project by clicking on the Digg and del.icio.us icons on the top of the Restaurant Game web page: http://theRestaurantGame.net
