Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well, the only way to know if an idea will work out is to put it in motion.

honey, where have you been? I got rid of my squads months ago. xp

She retired and you're not the only squad leader in Talon you know, we have ChibiSarafan too you know in Talon as a squad leader. As for squad leaders from the other division, what in the hell are you talking about? As EV said, she got rid of her squads months ago, have to stay on top of things CFAR, damn. xd

@EV: True, but I like having an idea and all of it's problems hammered out before putting into motion so that it's not an extreme amount of bugs when I put it on the market and plus, their just ideas.

To be honest, I completely missed this post until now since I posted right after it within a minute. Anyways, I've always been for going out and having wars, battles, etc. But we also try to avoid wars and whatnot as a general rule, try to maintain peace, blah blah. But I do like the idea you suggested, I've always suggested it to all the Elders and Paladins in the past, they always agreed to stay with peace though. But it would increase recruiting since people would be inspired to join. For awhile there, I was going into RPs and participating with my BoS character, but making my power armor alot weaker than it's supposed to be in order to be fair. Anyways, it's how we got in several members or more is from just myself being in RPs, RPing in the name of The Brotherhood and it worked too with just a single person. Unfortunately, none of those members that came in stayed, but I'm sure you remember PT Of The Borg, the username is off, but everyone knew her as PT, she joined because she was in a RP that I was participating in. You could always try to take your squad into those type of situations and if successful, get the rest of everyone in on it as well, kinda like a test run or something of that sort. But many members do need RP training I'd say or at least experience just by training against another real player.

@CFAR: I've addressed that already in Talon, you can if you'd like, make sure to keep them small though, below 500x500 pixels and don't stretch the page, other than that, go ahead, it's the chatterbox subforum.

Xenos is a warmonger! Bring me war in so that I may monger it! scream

*ahem* Anyway, I hereby endorse and second this motion.

In response to the war mongering (hehe Xenos, my nickname at the firehouse is "war mongerer" ) Ender, do you think it'd be possible to find another guild and stage mock wars in one of the forums? People don't seem to keen om joining the ones around here, but maybe the promise of going out and battling other people might get them intrested. Yes, I know a lot of us need RP training (I know I definatly do) but sometimes the best way to learn something is to throw yourself into it.

If not, we could try and pull something off like what we do at Company burns. The guys who know what they're doing go in and put the fire out and learn new things while those of us who dont know a damn thing walk around and watch what's happening, and sometimes they stage smaller burns and activities for us to do so we're not going into the fire, but we're still being productive and lerning things. (I couldn't go into this past company burn, but they sure as hell worked me to death none the less)

If you want/need a "safe and friendly" experience, then I can volunteer some of the people from my guild to go against the people in this guild. I mean, I don't think I'd be able to stay on one side, and I'd have to like, referee or something, so neither side gets an advantage. xp (I'm not full of myself.)

EDIT: Actually, what the Hell. I think it'd be a good experience for the people in my guild to fight against me. They're not too shabby of RPers, so I think that if we sorta "threw our guys into the fire" that it would be a nice experience. Sorta.

Well I think that's a brilliant idea. Perhaps we may make some sort of AMP (Anti-Munch Project, anti-godmoding thing; if you didn't know) training thread where people have to pass to prove that they would be able to interact against other players. For instance, have the listing of all of the rules of what godmodding is and all of its facets in the begining of the thread, and then have a mission outline for them. I mean, you could just have the [eight] humans versus [twelve] NPCs controlled by me or you or whomever, and see how they preform. If any rules are broken, quote where they have broken it and cite which rule has ben violated. Just to be safe, I'll run my guild through something similar before allowing them to compete.
