SirWilliam Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 So unlike the majority of alliances that feel recruiting can only be done in the most impersonal manner possible, I actually do quite a bit conversing with newer nations. I'm frequently asked which alliances don't require forum usage but don't generally have an answer. Any idea which alliances I can send these nations to? I don't mean micros that barely functionally exist either, perhaps there are some that are fairly active and competent that just keep things in-game...

Neo Uruk Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) I wouldn't make anyone post on forums so long as they kept in-game or IRC contact every couple days.But you have to sign up. Edited July 3, 2014 by Neo Uruk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerschbs Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Don't NEW and Kaskus do a lot of facebook communicating? Don't know if either of those alliances accepts new players though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopherbashi Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Do you mean "don't require forums to stay as part of the alliance" or "don't require forums to become as part of the alliance"? Best bet for the latter is to check in-game AAs for "open" member approval. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shavar Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 The Sandstorm Confederacy does not require forum usage. :D We use the in-game systems .. we do have a forum (and try to get everyone on it) but it is not required to be involved in the alliance :ehm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknown Smurf Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) We do use Facebook but 90% of our CN related info is done ingame, especially with the new (ish) alliance announcements feature. (Like aid/trade rings/tech dealing/war prep/who to dec on/etc). That said we don't accept members without vouches but at the same time I don't want to lose more rulers.. Let's get together on IRC or your forums and discuss the competency level/needs of these members, maybe we can get them somewhere that works for them. EDIT: working with the assumption that some, if not all, of these members aren't interested in any offsite so Id want to put them somewhere they dot have to do that.

Knights111 Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Yeah, Death Remnants does not use a forum, because personallyI think that having to sign up to a billion different to play cybernations is just annoying. We just use the alliance annuncement feature when we need to do stuff, and whenever we approve somebody, I give them alliance announcement.

Sigrun Vapneir Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 I have never required forum presence in CA, although at one time it was encouraged. I did a security audit, determined that the forum itself was our only real vulnerability, and eliminated it. IRC is highly encouraged, and between it, in-game mails, regular emails, skype... there are so many other ways to communicate I dont particularly miss it. CA may be somewhat unusual both because it's never been a large alliance and because there have never been any 'regime change' events, whereas most alliances do go through a regime change on a regularly or irregularly scheduled basis and need to have that central forum as a 'thing' to hand over each time. But even so, ownership of the irc channel (and nowadays, the in-game AA) are more important than maintaining a forum IMOP. So any serious players that just dont like forums, send em my way, thanks :awesome: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ogaden Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 RIA is a community centered more around our boards than the game, to be honest. If people don't want to use forums we usually recommend they join RIA Trade Partner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musmahhu Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 We at The Annunaki Bloodline Society do not require forum usage. We would like for players to sign up, however, We have all members designated for Announcements incase of any needs or questions anyway. We understand that some people play differently so we try to accomodate to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringMeTheHorizon Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Riot Society uses Skype quite a bit for building relations with nations within the alliance. Actually. RIOT had maybe 4-10 posts on our forums until you merged into RIOT. We used irc, and that was it, our forum usage, which probably fails in comparison to other AA's has been used 10000x fold more, skype (now), and IRC has always been the communication for RIOT. All we asked was that you sign up on the forums, just incase we had to issue something bigger than a small alliance announcement, or on irc. But using our forums was not needed to be a member.

White Chocolate Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) So unlike the majority of alliances that feel recruiting can only be done in the most impersonal manner possible, I actually do quite a bit conversing with newer nations. I'm frequently asked which alliances don't require forum usage but don't generally have an answer. When I did recruiting (which was often prior to joining DBDC) I would invite a number of long term non-aligned nations to join the alliance I was in at the time and the most common comment I would get from them is "as long as I don't have to sign up on a forum." I got that comment constantly. It's part of the reason I helped support Radix Omnium Malorum Avaritia. So that there was at least some place I could send those nations.Now that we have the ability to intereact internally in game through in-game alliance announcements I'm actually somewhat surprised that there are not more alliances that do not require signing up on an out of game forum.

TBRaiders Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Agree with WC. We don't even have a forum. We use skype, irc, and alliance messages to post google docs or put out required info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
