Unbelievable Recruitment - Facepunch Alliance


SirDog

Recommended Posts

I couldn't help but notice Facepunch Alliance. It consisted of two members with seniority of 305 & 316 days respectively. However in the last 5 days they have recruited 243 nations. I haven't seen anything like it. I would be interested to know how this occured? And why they not in the Epic Recruiting Contest.

Check it out --> [url="http://www.cybernations.net/allNations_display_alliances.asp?Page=1&Order=ASC&Field=Alliance_Date&Alliance=Facepunch%20Alliance"]HERE[/url]

Well done to you guys, although an average NS of 329 is a bit ordinary. :awesome:

You haven't been paying much attention to the OWF over the past few days, have you :P

Cheers Banksy, I haven't being paying attention...and as you see this is a reason why I rarely make a new topic. (Apologies for the placement of this topic) But kudos to those guys at FP.

Here's hoping they stick around and get involved.

Same here. It's always fun to have another big alliance around (in terms of members at least).

They've been on the radar of just about everyone who recruits seriously for a week now.

I for one welcome them.

I noticed them either on Friday or Saturday when recruiting. I was surprised at the FPA AAs back then.

Actually I like how FacePunch are doing it.

They seem to be made up from people from a site called [url="http://www.facepunch.com"]www.facepunch.com[/url] (has alot of members)

It appears that their recruitment thread is titled: [url="http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=939559"]Cybernations V. Immature Kids Running The Government [/url]

Not a bad idea if you are part of another large forum or group...transfer part of that membership base to CN. Well played. :)

We know all this, are you trying to give them some more advertising?

Fark, GOONS and FOK already used this recruiting technique, to name three famous examples.

So you speak for all? Congrats.

And the answer is no. Has any other alliance achieved anything better than 243 nations in 5 days? Mabye they are just deserving of some recognition.

I felt the need to respond being the narcissist I am, but plenty have, most notably,

NPO, Fark, IRON, ODN, FOK, TOP, Legion, R&R, RIA, CSN, FAN, GOONS, GOD, Grämlins... There are a lot that came here from elsewhere.

with exceptions to RIA, CSN, FAN, GOD and Grämlins.

If I remember correctly, both The Order of Light and the FOK!-Alliance had an even faster growth rate during their early days.

But yes, this is still rather impressive. It is a massive influx of nubs, though. Let us hope that the two nations at the top can control them effectively.

And, while I am always looking for new raid targets, the truth of the matter is that these nations are far too small to be [i]worth[/i] raiding, and even if they were, I am fairly certain that there are no charters belonging to raiding alliances that would allow a mass raid of an alliance of 243 nations anyway.. So, there's not much of a debate here.

RIA came from gamefaqs, FAN came from FANgamers, GOD came from DLP, and Gre came from a Starcraft forum. ;)


Dunno about CSN.

CSN was started by a Starcraft clan.

Having looked at where they came from and their average age, I think time will tell. Most of them will have tired of having to do something, and left. However, every one that stays makes the game more interesting.

I t would also be interesting from the political point of view, to see where their game direction lies (providing enough of them stay).
