    1. Daily play rewards could remain as a way for Tix to return. Boot up your first game for the day, get Tix. The easiest way to prevent bots is to not allow users to sell items for Tix or trade them. Have those monthly items you mentioned be the only thing Tix can be redeemed for.

      The incredibly public nature of Twitter means that anyone else can also respond with their own sort of feedback that may also add to the conversation at hand, as seen here.

    2. This tutorial would moreso focus on what I'd say would be the main priorities for new players: avatar customization and joining games. It would begin with having the player select a preset outfit (I've provided a few, plus some of the free Rthro bundles).

      It is commonplace to attach images for a plethora of different reasons, as one might do in the vast majority of digital cultures. In this case specifically, I am using them to help add a little more aid in illustrating my own ideas and propositions.

    3. This is something I admittedly still do not have the answer to, nor do I think it's something I'll ever be able to answer. In any case, I kinda wanna hear what others would like to say about this. I also apologize for this long string of tweets based on my dumb proposal, heh.

      Due to the tweet character limit of 280 (leading to approximately 40-60 words max. per tweet), long threads consisting of multiple tweets may arise. This thread of mine has 13 tweets. Some people may use outside services such as TwitLonger, but as of late, that specific service has gained a connotation for being used for far more serious topics.

      Adding hashtags to a specific post will make it appear when searching for said hashtag through the explore feature, allowing for increased visibility to people beyond the follower base. It is a major feature of Twitter that has found its way into other digital cultures and social media.

    5. I feel like it's safe to say that the Roblox first-time experience for new players is well overdue for an improvement.

      Quote tweeting is an alternate method of replying to a tweet. This both increases the visibility of the tweet being quoted as well as the person quoting it, compared to standard replies -- especially to the specific audience of the quoter. This, however, raises issues regarding the forming of "echo chambers" or "circlejerks" in specific opinions

    1. However, the fact that the ad does not use too many statistics or overly technical language also con-tributes to the ethos of the ad because often sounding too intellectual can come across as pompous or stuffy.

      A good balance in vocabulary needs to be found, I feel. You want to utilize more technical and often uncommon language in order to look formal and intellectual, but at the same time you also want to avoid looking overly pretentious or distant to your audience.

    2. Ethos refers to the credibility of the rhetor—which can be a person or an organization. A rhetor can develop credibility in many ways. The tone of the writing and whether that tone is appropriate for the context helps build a writer’s ethos, as does the accuracy of the in-formation or the visual presentation of the rhetoric.

      I get the impression that ethos is something that can both be established not just gradually over the course of the argument, but also before and after it should the rhetor choose.
