We Need Help - Take 2?

[Guy77]

Anyway, back onto this topic

I'm not trying to scare people away, i want us to encourage more and more people as we can, but the fact is that the way people play, and the amount we post is a little bit of a turn off

Yes people post

But it ends up being the same 5-6 people all the time, sure i'll chime in, or i'll see pron here and there, but not everyone is as commited as everyone else ( and sure, on silly topics why bother posting) but hey, it shows that we have a good time ( and yeah i realise we all have lives, bear with me)

The thing is, i log on, make my own state, with a few days left, and then i get attacked a multitude of times by SOULS members CCsport and Vinnie to be exact. Now if i was a new member how would i feel? and sure, you think that a new member will join the forums, and you will know who he is, and not attack him anyway, but if i was new i'd want to check out the game before i got involved witht he community, just my personal thoughts. Sure, you have to get involved to learn, but learning on your own is half the fun

What i'm trying to say is we need a better way to recurit, i just don't know what it is, and it definitly isn't "boasting about our game and community" because hey, they both need a little work

Training nation which has all the new players--that way someone can teach them how to play, and all the other nations will know not to kill any of them for being idiots. Can you code that Warlord? Like...removing it's nation cap and everything?

[Spetznaz_GRU]

All good points. The multies is something that has to be dealt with in uncoded laws. Like the Nations council. The one that was suggested on the old forums. So if somebody goes out of line he gets the entire council on his ***. I mean, that should teach somebody. Right?

The forum thing. Yeah, I'm trying to post some interesting things here and indeed just a handful of people post. Too bad to see this happen. But hey, if more people would post interesting things, then we would be on a roll.

[Warl0rd]

i'm sure you can more easilly get 2 ppl to train them, and then u'll be able to arrange training wars and stuff between them...

[Guy77]

Ironically, i just suggested something like that for RIOT

that might be a semi-decent idea, but the problem is it would create another DaK vs RIOT ordeal

One nation was HUGE but had a ton of new players, one nation was all vets, but got killed just by sheer numbers, as DaK proved, even new players can get kills w/ good leaders

But if we could set something up like that, it would be kinda sweet
We would have to pick someone ( or some group of people) to lead it ( and teach) that arn't really geared to war, and want to teach people the way to play, (and in time the way to war, farm, grab, play the market, etc.....) =P

As a side note ( Hi Pron, i thought you were dead )

[Spetznaz_GRU]

Yeah, this isn't exactly WoW.

@ Guy--I'd help with that nation if we could get it set up. I don't think it'd be like Dak vs Riot--because we could set it up so the nation of trainees can't war anyone nor be warred upon--kinda like training wheels. Or at least get the community to recognize them as new, and not war them/hit them a bunch of times for a retal. Then it's only a matter of getting leaders that won't gear the new people for war. After a set or two of training, we kick out the new people and tell them to find a nation that they might like.

And I wasn't dead--I think.

@ Spetz--It'd also help if the people posting were under their original accounts and not "newbie".

But on a serious note--the council thing wouldn't work right now, but altogether isn't a bad idea. However, it should be a grassroots thing and not a top down kinda thing. People should band together to kill people that don't play according to the rules--that's what makes this game fun. If we got upwards of 200-300 people playing, then a 10 man nation that deals some justice to single players wouldn't be a terrible thing at all.

Spetz was too hot, couldn't take that one. So I created a new account and started all over again. As I have done many many times on these forums already. Russki, BOBA, Spetz, Newbie and some other names I can't mention because they're pretty faul. Anyways. I'm me Spetz, Newbie, Russki, BOBA... whatever. I'm still responsible for all of them. So yeah if you feel you have to talk to me about it... shoot.

About the nation council.
You didn't understand me. It would be something like the UN. It's nothing that it written, fixed or coded. I mean for all I care you can join the NC and then backstab it. But you would risk the NC's wrath. All I'm saying is that the respectable nations, that think that new nations and states need to be protected and or that some rules should count for all the nations, will enforce it by having this UN like thing. There would be a forum section for nation leaders that are in the council and they would discuss matters such a noob killing, unfair taps or even who mistreated their mother. Than as a community they could act against agressors to noobs, suiciders and multi tappers or whatever. I think this is a great idea. Only I wish that I came up with it.

1. I called you out on "newbie" being a fake name of someone already in the forums, and you denied it . That's not being responsible for them.

2. Yes--that idea is a great idea, and we're on the same page.

[Spetznaz_GRU]

1) Back then I couldn't. Mr. P would ban me instantly. Right now we're cool. So I can be proud of my name. I'm sure you'll understand.

2) That's what I thought you'd think. I mean t think that you'd think the thing I think thinking you'd think something else.
