Runescape Community Recruitment
By Abmanju on 30/12/2007
Runescape Community Recruitment
The method we use for Runescape community is Private Messaging.
In the Looking for Clan forum, find any player who looks suitable for WG.
Make a list of these players and post your list below so that the designated RSC recruitment team can go through it.
PROVIDE LINKS TO THEIR APPLICATION TOPIC PLEASE!
The current recruitment team is:
1. Dalejamesw
2. Zlatan83
3.
The recruitment team will strikethrough names that have already been PM'd so that two people don't PM the same person. Please take care when posting your lists. Make sure nobody has posted the same name.
That's really all that you have to be concerned with. The remainder of the post is for the recruitment team.
-------------------------------------------------------------
PM Template for the recruitment team.
Please keep it fairly unique.
We all know we're a great clan.
Don't lie to our applicants and don't send them all the same message.
Each player has different desires.
Use this template but also be personal.
TYPOS ARE ALL DELIBERATE.

Hey [PLAYER NAME] (leave numbers out, eg. Linka1314 becomes Linka), I'm [YOUR RUNESCAPE NAME], or [YOUR NICKNAME] if you prefer. I read your topicv in the Looking for a Clan forum. |
It should pretty much start like that. Now it gets more personal.
QUOTE |
You said you were looking for [LIST THE THINGS THEY WERE AFTER IN A CLAN, IN YOUR OWN WORDS]. I didn't want to post on your topic like all the other copy paste jobs without a drop of personality. As far as my clan WG goes, I think you'd be a good fit. I don't PM just anyone that meets our requirements. you seem like you'd fit in well, and I think we've got what you're after. |
Now, according to what they asked for, this is what you say. Only use the ones that they specified, otherwise we will over-sell ourselves. Its an influence tactic. People love talking about themselves, so we have to make sure we are meeting THEIR wants. We don't want to seem like we are fitting them into OUR structure.
Friendly Community
QUOTE |
I've been in WG for [LENGTH] and I found it incredibly easy to make friends... it's a bit hard to explain exactly how good our community is. It's something you've gotta see for yourself. Do you have a registered account on SwiftIRC in SwiftKit or MIRC? Our channel is #wg_lobby, server irc.SwiftIRC.net. |
Active Warring
QUOTE |
Um, WG loves warring... a lot lol. We get like 60 people to each war, minimum, and we have them pretty much twice a week. The war times are pretty comfortable in [THEIR TIMEZONE. IF NO TIMEZONE GIVEN, SAY "all major time zones"] but they do change by one or two hours every week. Oh yeah and we tend to win most of our wars lol. :-P |
General Activity
QUOTE |
We've got events going on every day. I just checked our forums to confirm this... we pretty much have about 12 events a week with good attendance to all of them. All of our members are active and we do have activity requirements. All evenmts are of course optional, but there's plenty to choose from :-) and there's always members talking in our chat room. |
Skilling
QUOTE |
How big on skilling are you exactly? WG is one of the bigger skilling clans but we do heaps of combat as well... it's up to you how much fighting or skilling you do of course. Um, we do have heaps of training competitions and all that, but we also do the Runescape skilling games and sometimes we quest together... [NAME A RECENT SKILLING EVENT] |
Does Certain Events/ Has Variety
QUOTE |
We pretty much own [THE EVENTS THEY LISTED]. Um, we have heaps of screenshots on our website... almost too many lol. Check them out so you can see what we get up to: http//:www.wildernessguardians.com [ONLY PUT THE SITE LINK ONCE. IF IT IS MENTIONED IN ANOTHER MODULE, EXCLUDE THE LINK]. And on top of that we're the most varied clan in Runescape. We have like 50 types of events we do all the time. [NAME A UNIQUE EVENT EVENT WE HAVE DONE IN THE LAST WEEK OR ARE GOING TO DO THIS WEEK EG... WE JUST HAD A ROGUES DEN LAST WEEKEND] |
Minimum Requirements
QUOTE |
Reqs are 100+ cmb f2p or 110+ p2p, and we have a couple of activity requirements along with that. |
Stability
QUOTE |
You said you were after a stable clan, right? WG's been around for... I think it's 4.5 years now? The old leadertship is even still around and pretty much everyone knows who we are :-P |
Good In USA Timezone
QUOTE |
[SKIP IF YOU HAVE MENTIONED TIMEZONES IN THE WARRING SECTION ALREADY] Most of our members are USA so like 90% of events are good in USA timezones. |
Good In GMT Timezone
QUOTE |
[SKIP IF YOU HAVE MENTIONED TIMEZONES IN THE WARRING SECTION ALREADY]We have like 40 Europeans in WG which is a massive % of the clan and most events fit into the GMT time zone easily so no late nights or early starts. |
Good In Australian Timezone
QUOTE |
[SKIP IF YOU HAVE MENTIONED TIMEZONES IN THE WARRING SECTION ALREADY]We have heaps of Aussies and most events are fair. You have to get up on the weekends for a war but there are heaps of events that are Aussie friendly. Even His Lordship the clan's founder is Aussie. |
P2P Events
QUOTE |
We do a lot of things in P2P like fight pits, p2p clan wars, and different minigames like Mort'ton Shade Burning and God Wars, as well as the f2p favourites. It would probably take me forever to list all the p2p things and f2p things we do lol. Take a look at the website if you want. http://www.wildernessguardians.com [ONLY PUT THE SITE LINK ONCE. IF IT IS MENTIONED IN ANOTHER MODULE, EXCLUDE THE LINK] |
Larger Sized Clan
QUOTE |
Theres over 100 active members (http://www.runehead.com/clans/ml.php?clan=wildguard) and although we try not to recruit too fast, we're getting a good rate of applications. |
Smaller Sized Clan
QUOTE |
We've got that smaller clan atmosphere that I personaslly prefer. We've been getting fairly large recently due to our growing popularity but I still think it feels like a family. |
Good Leadership
QUOTE |
Did you say you were after good leaders? His Lordship's been around for almost 5 years and Abmanju has pretty much catapulted WG into success as well. Call me biased but I think our leadership team is as good as it gets. [MODIFY THIS IF YOU ARE HIS LORDSHIP] |
Maturity
QUOTE |
WG is pretty mature (even though I like to joke around as well haha) but they are pretty relaxed. We're lucky enough not to have kids screaming all the time and making a fuss. The leadership deals with problems calmly and theres no big dramas. |
Ok and that should cover most peoples categories. If they ask for something outside that, there's no harm in writing your own answer.
Summarise with this.
QUOTE |
I think I've talked about all that you care to read so I'll quit, but there is so much more that I would love to tell you, and even more, I would like the chance to get to know you and introduce you to some WG members. Please PLEASE drop by our IRC or even better, add me on msn if you have it. Beofre I was in WG, I remember it was a really tough choice to pick a clan. Give me a yell on MSN so I can talk it over with you. [MSN ADDRESS HERE]
[YOUR SIGNING-OFF NAME]

By General199 on 10/06/2008
Make sure you dont have more then one person sending pm's to the same person. That will look very bad lol.

Please check your dates guys to see if the topic is more than a few days old.
By Renoldojr10 on 10/06/2008
Eugene, Joe and I are going up to only one week old maximum.
~Ali
By His Lordship on 10/06/2008
I prefer 4 days old maximum.
By Squelchyfish on 10/06/2008
well this could work...
but what if they read this when they join.
they will like quit instantly when they realised we lied.
We dont need to lie...
Just write a personal one, only takes 2 mins.
By His Lordship on 10/06/2008
Where's the lie?
I definitely don't want to lie.
We're giving them facts and we're only telling them the bits they are interested in.

He was already in Wg before, but he left. Can't remeber why.
By Tmal34 on 11/06/2008
Please do not put anyone on your lists who is below our requirements even by one level.
I will personally look for those and handle them because they are different than what we have typed up can help.
