In reply to: Marx 's message, "Thanks Phule that was an apology (i think)" on 09:01:47 09/08/99 Wed

After the split of TC and SH. Tseng and I and a few others, decided to revise our recruiting methods, and this is what we came up with.

1) We would start a game, called SH Clan Tryouts.

2)About 2 or 3 SH members would be present(to discuss the new REC's and to impress all the REC's that we actualy have active members)

3)We would tell them that we are going to play a FFA, except the SH members, would NOT play, You are to fully ally yourself with all SH members, and then go after all non-SH members. We would share vision, but not ally so we could talk to eachother. We would all ally at the end of the game, so nobody would get a loss, anybody that did not honor this, or attacked us(we wouldn't build up, so they ouldn't get suspicious of us) would automatically not be considered. Especially the ones that unpuased when somebody had to leave for a minute.

4)After usually what would be a quick rush game, we would evaluate all the aspects of the game, such as, Skill, Personality, Game ethics and Intellegence. Winning was not neccesarily a requirement. However, skill and general coolness, often did go together.

5)We would tell them(via whisper, those that passed) to go to channel. When everybody arrived, we would go through a pains taking drawn out recruitment process, that would include giving us their ICQ# or DL'ing ICQ and getting it setup. Also E-Mail was required, along with various other info, then a name change. The recruiting process would then be finished, and teh REC had a 2 week waiting period to join a house(was a little long, took it down to 1 week).

I hafto go now, so I hope this gave you a good impression of our new recruiting technique, and maybe we can somehow adapt it to Diablo.
