Wierd Recruitment Messages with No Personal Touch

Greetings.

*I mean no disrespect, bad intensions, rudeness or agressivness towards you with this message. If you feel that way by reading it please take my deepest appology because my intensions were good*

You probobly got a ton of messages like this. Here is my lucky shot.

I started playing SGW in the late 2005 and quit early in 2007. I got sick of SGW, sold out and left. Soon I started missing the game. I felt this emptyness inside me. How could something so wrong make me feel so right?

Made my return after about 6 months and playing for about a month now. Many things have changed. My dream is still the same since day one I started. To create an alliance. Alliance I would lead, one of my own.
There are a few steps in making my dream come true...

*** STEP 1: COLLECTING THE CREW ***

I found you because I was looking for players:
~ Above 11 million army
~ Ascended atleast once
~ Seeminlgy active
~ No alliance
~ Alliance you are superior in by far
~ Alliance with only a few members
~ Something else got my attention

I am well aware that there is a possibility you are *loyal* to your alliance for any reason at all or a sworn *lone wolf* but still, I hereby invite you to become a part of something that will most definatelly be a success.

What I expect to get:
~ Active players
~ Experienced players
~ Awesome community
~ And a lot more...

IMPORTANT NOTE: This can only work if YOU are interested in it. This alliance is NOT YET created and will NOT BE created if there is not enough interest!

If you ARE interested in this, please proceed to STEP 2. If not, send me a reply stating you are NOT interested, and sorry for taking your time.

*** STEP 2: CONTACTING ME ***

I am presuming I got your attention. But you probobly have a ton of questions, would like to get to know me (in fact, there is a possibility you already know me) or just chat about it.

I can be contacted either with a message ingame
or on MSN: mailto:tipsy@rinnerz.com

Once and if I get contacted by atleast 20 people I shall proceed to STEP 3. If there is not enough interest, this never happens.

One more thing to add, about the name of the alliance. It would have to be something *good* and something we would all like.

What came to my mind first is *Deja Vu* because it would reflect our gathering in some way. Countless people and alliances have done it before, its like youve really been there before...
BUT ofcourse we would choose it together, aswell as some basic rules in order to guarantee stability. Anyways, enough was said for now.

Best regards, once again my DEEPEST apology if I ever offended you or if you are not interested.

Signed FABULOUS (a.k.a. Tommy / TipsY / crazenian)

I HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON... DEJA VU... LIKE I REALLY BEEN THERE BEFORE...



Is It me but when your in an alliance and seem to be playing You get a message trying to recruit you from your allaince to a new one by a person you dont know, does it become kinda wierd and irritating.

People like this i do believe should be massed or sat on for solid reasons of which that follow:

They dont know you.
You Dont know them
They could very well be lieing
They give a detailed plan with no personal touch
There tryin to take you from somewhere you at *loyal* to.

If anyone agrees with me Say aye and state your opinion please

No, you could just replay saying "Thank you for you offer but I'am very loyal to my alliance" and then it's over. No need to mass just because he checks with you. Who knows he might have sent a person who's unhappy in his/her alliance and therfor got a new recruit.

Regards,
KJ

Yeah i agree with above posts massing someone for just asking if your interested is slightly over the top, as soon as you started reading it im sure you know were it was heading, just delete it and say your not interested, but be polite as he was.

Well dude I appologised in advance and I'm not going to repeat myself over again. I don't know you? Not personally but over forum posts and so on, I do. You don't know me? Well you could get to know me. I'm not lieing. Well I plan stuff before I do it... And it has a personal touch from MY side, why would I go personal with you straight off. I am not trying to take ANYONE form they are loyal to as I stated it in the message already.

I took my chances by sending this message to you and many others, if it pisses people off what can I do? It's just something I'm trying to achieve for a very long time. I can't dictate what others should do so I'll take my chances.

I dont agree...He couldn't have asked in a better or more respectable way theres no way anyone normal could have got offended by that...his dream was to create his own alliance, one that would be his and to get it started you need players and you fit into the category of what he wanted so either your interested or you weren't all you have to do is reply back in the same manner as he did letting him know if you were interested not. Massing him is over-reacting and like Lajh said im sure many people wouldn't be happy if he got massed over trying to get his dream under way....its a simple yes or no!

gl with getting your alliance up and running..

One who passes judgement without thinking is just as a stupid as someone who passes judgement without knowing a thing.

I asked opinions. Mine was massing. and PLaying halo is fun and i still do it. so there is no need to go back to somethign i never left.

lol :? well now you got opinions and most were about how silly you are even considering massing someone over ASKING nicely whether or not to join an alliance i think you should just drop it and get on with playing the game :?

I find messages like (completely made up, but I got a few in the past that were similar) "omg, u sux, come join me Ill halp u" or just plain "wanna join my alliance" far more rude.

I'd actually be flattered to get a message like this one. :P

Zeta, you're just mass happy. :lol:

I though it was well worded, polite, and appropriate. Although I don't have direct interest, I can't see how anyone would be offended by the inquiry.

Zeta it took me some time to compose it so it was not a weird message. Also seems noone agrees with your view of it. Actually you are the only one that got pissed by the message. Some people said they are not interested, some said they are. So maybe even you, when you go out today, sleep it over and re-think about it will change your mind. ;)
