Seems like the old gamster singled out us and the diplomats for recruiting. So here goes:
Well I for one wouldn't be a member of this empire if I hadn't of seen the recruitment threads, etc. Also if you have a question whose answer you can't find easily in the threads just ASK we normally try to answer or give you a helpful link as and when we can, the empire threads also contain alot of useful info on the game. They also contain many short stories which are part of what makes the metaverse fun, so I don't want to see them disappear from the main forum. Yes your right recruitment does go on and empires get new members from it which helps to keep the game alive. So no apologies here.
Plus we are in the process of getting ALL the empires to agree to a SINGLE recruitment thread outside of which no recruitment will occur, so we do realise there may be a bit of over-zealous recruiting and we are doing something about it
Please don't think I singled either EMpire out. There were comments about not being able to rampantly spam the other forum. With a firum dedicated to Empire building I see no need to continually try to out-post each other on the other forum is all.
As for answers I do as but I also like to exaust my searching before I ask a question that may have been asked earlier by someone else. As time passes many of you will learn I do not believe in repeats. Repeat questions just adds clutter to the valuable information in the database.
But back to the recruitment I just wanted to point out that since there is a forum for recruitment it could harm your chances for getting a new recruit.
Seriously before today I refused to go into the recruitment threads over in the other forum. Do you know what it is really like to log in for the very first time and see a thread with 3k messages???!!! And for it to stay on the first page growing every day? That is so daunting that I would never ever crack it open to start reading. Anyways I wish you guys and this forum much luck. I will be looking to find a good home or I may have to form up my own empire... Who knows?
Click the double arrow at the bottom left it takes you to the very last page of the thread and each time you open ot thereafter it opens up on the last page
Maybe my answer was a bit "flame-like" but I think if he was part of an empire he would understand a bit better what the empire threads are for:
Chance to kill a psychic duck
Meet the SF army/navy/air force/zoo
Bring order to the universe with a lightsaber
Raid other threads for booze
Destroying tractors over in the MWC
Meet at least three different bands of pirates
Give evil steve the shakes by telling him your tee-total
Ok... I try submitting a game from the AP BETA and nothing happened. It was 23000 points and I played the damn thing for 6 hours. Guess I'll have to email CariElf.

That thread which you refer to is not in fact a recruitment thread, it is a communication thread like this one. I personally believe that our presence in the main forum MUST remain in order for the word to get out about us to new members. In the business world its similar to spending millions on one Superbowl commercial and not adverrtising your product for the rest of the year. This kind of "hoping" for product recognition from one ad simply cannot work in this environment. We CAN'T let our only image to new players die completely, as that would be disasterous for our Empire. I didn't even know there were other forums when I first joined, spent all my time on the main forum, and noticing a lack of a Star Wars themed empire, started my own, The Republic.
Now I'm not saying we must keep the VOLUME of post in our other threads up to the level they have been, but we do need to keep our name out there so that people will notice us, we could then link to this forum where the heavy recruiting could take place.
U dig deep Kuunos?
cos nothing appeares on my side jet.
Just wanted to check, nothing offencive ment, i just would like to bring the succession game on, you have know.
Its a worthy project
I got that no show with my Drengin.net purchase too, was irretating to me too.
Arclite I think I know what happened you just bought drengin.net I think? If so go to: LinkLook at section no.7 - you need to convert to your new serial no. then your scores will show up
I think this is what the problem was... I'll get back to you on it.
Yeah... After I did what you told me to (THANK YOU!!!) I submitted the game. BUT, I checked my score right before I told you I had the problem and I had 47 submitted games. Then I looked again and it was 46. After I got the new game to submit, I'm back to 47. I wnder what happened to one of my games?
Good to hear from you MBM , where you been? We lost fourth place to the MWC in a metaverse recalc but Arclite and myself wrote the second part to our short story Link
