Urgent News!

I now also think guilds of large size (15+) hurt game play.

has anyone ever tried to form a training nation?
it has some downsides, no way to monitor active voodoo and gc levels or even how active players are. but for those nations who want to grow (USSR, Canada, Vietnam) it could be a win win. new players get mentors to help them out while they also have a 'home' in a guild. and the training nations will get stronger in player base, fame and inner cohesive.

SSTG is a training guild and they are all in Bermuda, so, already exists.

SSTG used to be a training guild. It is no longer a training guild. Unless I am missing something by far, they no longer recruit newcomers. Just check at the recently joined list and see if they recruited anyone lately. I checked 20 pages and I saw no new recruits. In contrary, I saw recruits from Zomb! Impressive.

So there is no training "nation" right now.

Sir Jacob Astor is a very competitive player so if he finds time and willingness, he can rebuild TOR for sure.

Hmm, that is a good catch.


spaz4770 (#63388) is the latest player in SSTG though, not bad.

I guess you can say they were a training guild that had players who just never wanted to leave.

Nice to see ZomB making a recovery. It gets hard to tell though sometimes because a lot of their guild is never kicked inactives.

Truth is that we are training guild but ever since delrio situation happend we got strict about new players and we check and speak with them before we allowe them to join while other guilds just send invite...

Haha...we had Delrio in our guild one time as well and now we converse with new players and old for that matter before we allow admittance.
Of course a spy or two since then has reinforced our strict admittance guidelines. We take new players in but only if convinced they are actually new or in the case of older players their bio is displayed.

Same here we talk with them and after seeing that they are actually new player we welcome them and help them grow but most of them just accept invite to finish mission...

KInda confused, what did Delrio do bad in SSTG?

[Admiral Nelson]

Kind of de-railing the thread...

[Bmw]

Technicaly it's still news so it's still on topic

[Admiral Nelson]

Technically its discussing Training guilds, which is not on the topic.

Kind of de-railing the thread...

de-railing or evolving. seeking the why behind the downfall from a broader perspective and trying to learn from what happened.
