dragonknight1000 Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 no, that's only in special cases we do it like this: recruiting, break to promote growth and then ghostbust rinse, lather and repeat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Smith Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 (edited) It isn't all about recruiting though. That 12k average strength isn't going to get you anywhere. This is turning out to be similar to how TOOL almost became sanctioned back in the day. There is a right way to do it and then the wrong way. TOOL chose the right way. First of all, recruiting is not all we're doing. Its definitely not our plan to recruit our way to a sanction. Second, I don't see whats wrong with having lots of recruiting. All it means is that we will have an abundance of tech sellers, which is never a bad thing. Also, 100 small nations turn into 100 big nations 6 months to a year from now.

Take my word for it, we almost killed ourselves... We had hundreds upon hundreds of inactive members, and very few contributors. Luckily we turned it around. It was worth it, even if it did take an extra year to get sanction. -Bama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asa Phillips Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 I'm sorry, but if someone has the courage and time to do the Sanction Race they should do the commentary as they see fit for their reward. If Adrian wanted to do nothing but Brigade for his commentary I would respect his right to do so as the updater. I could not agree more. Thank you Adrian, and the rest of you who update the Sanction Race, for the work you do that benefits the rest of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virillus Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 If Legion is happy with how they're growing their alliance, that's all that matters. Of course, they're going to quickly learn the basis for others' opinions should they get in a war anytime soon:P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
