Title: I've found the main reason we're short of recruits
Post by: Hornet on May 18, 2004, 02:59:03 PM

But there's very little we can do about it.

I had convinced someone to join TGA, but then they read the manifesto on HybridChill.  Their reply was:

Quote
i had gone to ur site, but i found tt if i join u all, i can onli attack orc players, it would greatly affect my playing of the game

Which is a great pity as he was a very good Elf player going it alone.  I've also had a similar response from someone else I'd previously convinced, so I'm sure that it's the reason for other people turning away as well.  But that's what TGA stands for, so I don't really see what we can do about it.

Perhaps attacking orcs only should be more a guideline rather than a rule.  I mean i don't stick to it, because i get attacked by Humans, Dwarves and Elfs so i feel i have a right to take from them aswell.

You are allowed to attack people back that have attacked you, regardless of race. >.> They just have to attack first. Then you can farm freely.

Hmmm, that's a point - it should be made more clear that retalliations are permitted.

Um... isn't that kinda obvious?  You can attack people who attacked you.  :huh:

It wouldn't be bad to stress it, I guess.

Well yeah, but I guess some people might think we'll forgive people that aren't orcs, or something. :miffed:

I agree w/ Hornet.  Also Lanair is right b/c I thought it was *just* orcs.  BUT SS did say that one thime that you could attack evil people...

Hello Gang,
This Is IronDragonSLayer63 or as my new commander nows me Alpha_Orc_Slayer_  I just wanted to mention that the attack Orcs only except in retaliation rule is the best thing the TGA has going for it. We are in a class by ourselves not compromising and standing against the Evil Horde. So I would never want that to change. Now you must understand I delete my IronDragonSlayer63 account that I took a month to go from birth to 31000's rating at it 's high point and I will do the same with this username (that is rise trought the ranks at the expense of The Evil Hordes Blood). So I hope to be welcomed into the TGA soon.

Hey Sexy Stalker,
A clicklist would definately be a plus.

everything went pissy ever since the KOC admins made us get rid of the !stats, that ws our attack list sort of..., and the click list too... :unsure:

Post by: underruler on May 20, 2004, 09:12:36 AM
I think the main problem w/ recruiting is that people just don't care anymore.  I definitely think that the only orcs attacking thing is really beneficial if we had a larger alliance.  I mean you wouldn't have the mistake of attacking another alliance member b/c you're not allowed to initiate attacks unless otherwise specified (remember when we kind of did a mass on Striker or something and SS said it said we could battle "evil" too ;P)


Title: I've found the main reason we're short of recruits
Post by: SS on May 20, 2004, 12:03:18 PM
So long as the Evil is clear and not just a "ooh, lets call him evil so we can smite him" type thing.
LS was completely unfair towards his loyal clan members, so he was considered a valid target.

hey i got a quesiton : where do you guys click if you don't have a clicklist?


Title: I've found the main reason we're short of recruits
Post by: Hyvry1 on May 21, 2004, 08:01:52 PM
We do have a click list but it is not extremely active, however we sign ourselves up to the LoP recruiter.  When you are in the alliance i will send you the link, just remind me when you get in.

Post by: Merth on May 21, 2004, 09:29:04 PM
heh thats the thing : getting accepted :)
i hope to be soon tho. dunno which requirments i still need to complete


Title: I've found the main reason we're short of recruits
Post by: underruler on May 22, 2004, 06:55:26 PM
maybe we should shorten the requirement time to get accepted.  I think a week is too long maybe like 3 or 4 days, but then they would still have to get the same amount of posts.


Title: I've found the main reason we're short of recruits
Post by: SS on May 22, 2004, 07:40:46 PM
Yeah, a week is quite a long time now. It was fine when we started, but does seem to drag a bit now.


Title: I've found the main reason we're short of recruits
Post by: Merth on May 22, 2004, 08:38:09 PM
i agree... anyway how will i know when im accepted?


Title: I've found the main reason we're short of recruits
Post by: underruler on May 23, 2004, 01:31:47 AM
It depends on when I can get Smi's attention...I'll talk to him now.


Title: I've found the main reason we're short of recruits
Post by: matt_the_shark on May 23, 2004, 04:58:04 AM
we could also bug SS to do it...since i believe smi is off studying :(


Title: I've found the main reason we're short of recruits

yea I messaged Smi and he was presumably doing homework.

It's the only reason why I didn't join.

Though now I wouldn't join anyway, at least until Age 3 Beta is over.  They'll have to convince me somehow that KOC is more worthwhile than Utopia (swirve). :)


Title: I've found the main reason we're short of recruits
Post by: Lord Lanair on May 30, 2004, 04:58:26 AM
There are many things more worthwhile than KoC.  LOL

BTW- what's utopia?  :unsure:


Title: I've found the main reason we're short of recruits
Post by: matt_the_shark on May 30, 2004, 02:36:12 PM
it's an online game that's got alot more stuff than KoC that i played once but became inactive shortly after in :)

It seemed overly complex and annoying when I looked at it.

http://games.swirve.com/utopia/ (http://games.swirve.com/utopia/)

I find it to be very fun.  More complicated than KOC, yes, but it's not overly complicated.  It seems so when you first join, but once you see how it all works, you'll find that it's really pretty simple.

The best thing about it is that it's designed such that you need only log in once or twice a day; logging in more often is generally not going to help you much, and you get benefits if you stay logged out for longer times.

Hmm, I guess I'm not logged in.  But this is Arantor. :)

Well I think its because KoC admins suck.

I would like to point out I used to log in 2-3 times a day untill they made me start typing my email. Then IW as like F that and stoped playing

{{Firefox Auto-Complete}}

Although it doesn't save my username, but that's easy enough.


Oh and it is because KoC admins suck; a comparison with the DT admins shows how much activity can be done...

If you use IE then you can use auto-complete.  I never have to type in user names.
