      IRC Nickname: Plano|Adam Group: Emeritus Posts: 1449 Member No.: 228 Joined: February 13, 2008 Total Events Attended: 107    | I was on RSC today (first day of Krewtin' Kru), and I noticed that all the clans are trying to throw as many pixels as they can at people trying to join clans. Personally, if I were looking at that I would be bored, so I tried a new approach to recruiting someone by saying this.
I thought it got the point across and cut through the bullshit. Is this a good technique? What do you think? --------------------  "If at first you don’t succeed, call it version 1.0" | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

What you have there is a good outline. You can also add in "you said you wanted a clan that does [this] [this] and [this], well WG does all of those and much more" etc. I think the more personalized the approach is the better. -------------------- Now back to the good part! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

 IRC Nickname: rachellove Group: Council Posts: 6955 Member No.: 173 Joined: January 31, 2008 Total Events Attended: 305 | That would be better for me than the template but I'm sure using a combo of things would be great. --------------------  Thank you Garrett and Dallar. “The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them.

The best way remains through personal contact in RSC PM and genuine conversation. --------------------  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

This. What's often cool is to read what he's looking for, choose one very good significant screenshot of, for example, the type of event he wants, and make a short statement. --------------------  London RL Meeting attendee - Paris RL meeting attendee Joined WG in October 2005 - Original DG - Ex-Raid Leader Proud Council Member from October 21st 2007 to May 19th 2008 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

 IRC Nickname: DG_Keanu Group: Council Posts: 4782 Member No.: 2033 Joined: August 25, 2009 Total Events Attended: 173 | I agree. While an epic reply with about 10000kb worth of banners and .GIFs is kinda impressive, I myself would be more likely to join a clan that's 1. Short, 2. Simple and 3. Personal. And of course, appealing to my needs and interests. --------------------  [05:42] <+WG_Keanu> I think I got a semi just looking at the pic [05:42] <%kat> same | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
