Omniscient1 Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 [quote name='Alterego' date='07 May 2010 - 06:35 PM' timestamp='1273253719' post='2290395'] Recruiting is good, recruiting like this is not. I would like to see the stats on the people recruited and see how many stay beyond the 3 month mark. If people flood in to an alliance too quickly they wont get the same kind of welcome as they would during regular recruiting. To each their own I guess [/quote] I make sure recruits feel welcome in my alliance whether they are the first one or the four billionth one.

Lennox Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Perhaps the rest of you guys could give the misfits and incompetent recruits to Sparta. That way they will feel right at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Fingolfin Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Nations currently under 1k NS GATO - 51 ODN - 32 Sparta - 40 UPN - 41 NpO - 84 I originally was going to do under 5k NS, but the numbers were to disturbing. Point is, recruiting more when you have this many nations already that need to be trained, tech dealed with, and aided, is foolish. Just more fluff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memoryproblems Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Didn't UPN and ODN have a recruiting contest not too long ago where UPN soundly beat ODN? I'm sure I remember something to that effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just barely above 5k NS, and I know how to play the game. I think the only thing you just proved is that GATO and NpO are the best at recruiting so far Back on topic.

[/quote] While we have discussed absorbing NSO, we decided it's not quite as good a fit as you would initially think :v And LF, I can't speak for the other alliances, but Sparta definitely has enough academy coverage to handle all of our recruits during even our largest recorded influx of applicants. Thanks for worrying, but this is what we do. :-) Edited May 7, 2010 by Seth Muscarella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] "They do not need to complete the application process in order to be counted as recruited, they simply have to have started it." No drop of standards here, as those accepted are completely unaffected by the contest going on. The contest does not promote looser recruitment standards, only a larger pool of applicants out of which to pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emporor Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Well, I really hate to see this announcement... as we are about to launch our new forums and had planned on recruiting heavily ourselves. This is going to make things really difficult. I hope you all fail... I mean, Good luck. P.S. I hope you win, GATO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
