MISTU Recruitment

[RealJames]

Following this announcement on AD I'd like to announce that MISTU is opening recruitment with immediate effect. We are looking for competent dedicated gamers who want to fight under an experienced command in round 11.

Recruitment enquirires should be directed to an op in #mistu on netgamers, who will advise you of how to proceed.

How many vouches do you require?

there will be a minimum 2 voucher system put in place or 1 command member voucher.

This attitude is ridiculous, is the information priviledged or something?

The idea is to disuade timewasters and encourage only genuine applicants.

That's odd, I figured it'd be the other way around.

If you tell them now, they won't need to PM you to get the info, will they?

And why make a thread on AR, the home of people who don't have enough vouches, if you're trying to get to genuine applicants? If you have a 2-vouch policy then they'll be able to get the policy from their friends anyway.

This all just seems like a stupid neo-PAism.

the benefits r quite clear:

1) u can see a person actually uses IRC

2) u can spk to a person before they apply giving u an insight into them personally

3) irc has tools u can use to see who a person is

4) u can check how a person interacts in a large group via your alliance room

5) u can direct ppl who hav problems of any type


hope that clarifies for people why we ask potential applicants to come to #mistu on irc.netgamers.org for recruitment.

[G.K Zhukov]

I had hoped for more info, like address to priv irc server and stuff

[Marinho]

Let's wait and see, I'm curious now

[Tomkat]

Doesn't it make it all the more exciting, waiting for the op to PM you back though?

If your members are vouching for people who don't use IRC, you should kick them.

2) u can spk to a person before they apply giving u an insight into them personally

Hopefully your members have done this for you already.

3) irc has tools u can use to see who a person is

Can be done during the application interview (or when they join your server, you can find out much more on your own server than NG, as NG has hostname hiding).

4) u can check how a person interacts in a large group via your alliance room

Your public alliance room is a completely different environment than the private room. I'll grant that this isn't an entirely worthless point.

5) u can direct ppl who hav problems of any type

I'm not sure I understand this one.

hope that clarifies for people why we ask potential applicants to come to #mistu on irc.netgamers.org for recruitment.

The writing between the lines tells me that you don't trust your members to vouch properly. But that's ok, I don't think it's possible to make an alliance free of idiots anymore.

PS. Could you please drop the mbl spk?

[TheACE]

Recrutement to MISTU, hummmmmmm

do i have a chance ??? (gues not )

but ok: do i have a chance?

[[i2k]Xy]

heh

[TheACE]

and for me? what do u say about me??

[ronnie]

to get the thread back on track:


#mistu on netgamers for recruitment


ty

[Tomkat]

It's quite simple really, why you should need to speak to an op.


1. The tech is being updated currently for MISTU, so the URLs may change, or the procedure may change within the next couple of days. To put one way up here, and then for that to be wrong, would be a silly idea, wouldn't it?

2. We don't want to give out the URL to anyone, as there are (regrettably) some people with more time than sense, who may just spam it to annoy us, meaning we can't take time and effort on the real applications.

3. People need to know that their vouchers are elligible first. They can't just write in random names, we will need to check them over first.

4. A little one-on-one is easier when guiding people through to the new server, and the new bot commands which are a little different from others. Writing it in a file which gives instructions usually produces problems for some people, and then they come to the ops asking what went wrong. When we could just skip that step and have them come straight to us, the ops.

5. Idling gets quite boring after a while, and we like getting PMs as it makes us feel loved <3

Thread cleaned up a bit. Please keep the flaming and trolling away from away from recruitment threads, constructive criticism is fine but this went beyond that.

Mistu members - getting into arguments in your recruitment thread doesnt reflect well on your alliance, think before feeding the trolls.

P.S. A little more info would have been nice but if this is the way you want to run your recruitment fair enough.

Thanks for the consideration. Tbh I did consider giving more recruiment information, but thy why feed the trolls, as you put it?

Anyone genuinely interested in recruitment please join #mistu on irc.netgamers.org and speak to an op, preferably Ronnie.

Anyone interested in trolling please take your business elsewhere. I see no reason whatsoever for any replies to this post. If you do post I'll assume youv'e not actually read the previous posts and therefore you post is not worthy of reading.

[gzambo]

good luck in the coming rd mistu

[cypher]

can an op plz pm me about how many vouches i'll be getting?

[TehVader]

heh am i invited ?

[Assassin]

am i seeing a pattern ere or do a lot of FAnGers like Mistu? Or 'Ex' Fangers

[Qdeathstar]

Its been a while personally since ive been in an alliance...personally.. so probably i wouldnt have much vounchers... but i was interested in this one.... i suppose once we get closer to round 11 i'll get on IRC and check it out.. :-/ But i think for a brand new alliance..vounchers are a bit rediculous... Get your numbers up first, then weed out the inactives.. you have plunty of time.. and inflation wont hurt you alliance the first round you start... as long as your not planning on changing things around PA right away...

1 round of being in FAnG doesnt make ppl FAnG through and through, there is a difference between ppl like Waku and myself who were there for 1 round and sum1 like Kjeldoran (for example)

[alch]

RAh - hush hush you are a FAnGer - once a FAnGer always a FAnGer

Just to update you MISTU is still recruiting. If you're interested read the top post of this thread and pop along to #mistu on netgamers and talk to an op.

[RealJames]

MISTU is still recruiting. However, at this time we are only recruiting players for R10.5 whose planets are in friendly supportive galaxies.

We will be implementing a system for registering round 11 interest in the near future.

[Minty]

Can I not join?

They lie. I asked to join, but all the HC anti-vouched me. I have nfi why. Lamers.

[rshih]

Awww... who wouldn't want a sexeh scan bitcheh?

[RealJames]

Recruitment is now open for MISTU for the coming round, round 11. You will require vouches from two existing members or one existing officer except in exceptional circumstances.

For more information or an application form please come to #mistu on netgamers and talk to an op or voice.

[Leshy]

You'll get to play with me, so sign up now!

[newt]

how many extra vouches would I need to counter-act the anti vouches?

6-8 vouches be enough?

[Copie]

you need eleventy

[furssie]

Why is it called MISTU again?

the people that began MISTU way back in r2 (RJ will confirm this) went to UMIST university in manchester.

mix UMIST up and u cum up with MISTU

[Icewar]

I`ve played round 2-5 and 7-10. I want in a big alliance next round. My coords 6.3.1. I`ve an open application.
thx

[DeadMan]

The basic problem with any applicants to have vouches is that they would have to be in your public channel for about 2 months to get to know someone.

The idea is more that they already know them.

[Psi_K]

I dunno why everyone complains to much about the recruitment process, it was by far harder in the earlier rounds.
