Popular Post Tiber Posted April 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) I know 95% of players don't care about recruitment, but this annoyed me to the extent that I felt the need to post here. The Lost Empire is currently sending each new player in this game THREE (3) simultaneous recruitment messages. This is extremely annoying for a number of reasons. Getting a ton of messages right when you start a game like this is annoying, but it is a fact of life. A lot of alliances want to recruit, and we have to make new players aware of our existence. But surely we can have some sort of unspoken agreement that we will only send one message at a time, both as a courtesy to other alliances AND the new players whose inboxes we are filling. Even if you are doing it because it is working, which might be the case since you have a lot of members, I still think you should stop. Because if it is working, then heck, why doesn't everyone send out 3 messages? And you can see how this starts to spiral. Even just stagger it FFS. I wouldn't be posting this if you just sent a second message after an hour or two. TL;DR: Sending out 3 simultaneous messages is annoying and inconsiderate both to other alliances and new players. Howabout no? Thanks for listening. Join BK. I will not be taking questions at this time. Check out my book "Recruitment Atrocities" on shelves this fall.

Biel Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) You can always go for a Daily Reminder to join BK. It is way less annoying. And it works, even when it comes to disbanding alliances. Edited April 3, 2020 by Biel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for pointing this out so that the people can be informed when evaluating this thread. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raymond Reddington Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 That's some serious advertisement/recruitment there, worst than the spam calls I get ? The appropriate way would be no more than 1 message, that way the player can view the different "invitations" and not all from TLE.

OMG Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) 3 is a lot of messages and it really isn't necessary. Everyone should just stick to one to be fair to each other and the new players. Edited April 19, 2020 by Gobi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To make this easier on you, BK is currently considering just saying "screw it" and sending out 32 recruitment messages (1 from each member) to every player in the game. /s 2 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zei-Sakura Alsainn Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 The recruitment bot I have, 3 is child's play. I could pretty easily go to 6, and that's only because my computer is trash. If I had a good one, I could have 50 going at once and just laugh and laugh and laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please login to unsubscribe. --- I accidentally left 2 messages on, felt like trash, some new player said "F U" - I cried that day.

Micros who spent a lot to get a recruitment bot in order to be competitive are basically getting shoved aside by an exploitation of the system. Having it be a perk for alliances (that still has to be worked for/funded) and banning the use of bots like these would be a good step forward. If all these alliances got a ton of members without actually trying to be good we'd just have a whole bunch more Pantheons. sorry, had to do one, I still luv ya panth 1 Quote Blame Dan Schneider~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More talking bout midcros, middle tier AAs that have borderline competency that need better recruitment to bridge the gap. And that's why I think recruitment bots need to be a ingame mechanic locked behind some sort of mechanic wall, that way they need to be some form of competent to get them.

alyster Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I've been saying it inside TKR halls that if TLE continues with 3 simultanious messages I will start up 5 bots. I'm sure many would follow with similar tactics soon and we'd be in a situation where new recruit would have 50-60 messages. In the end we'd get all of them bots banned.
