TF2
July Recruiting Competition​

This month TF2, it's time to recruit.

The goal we should hit this month? 75.

The goal I think we should go for? 100+.

We should get over 75 this month, no doubt about it, but we are easily capable of over 100. Back in December, we recruited 16 members in a day. So, if two people can get 16 members in a day, how many can a division get in a month? Especially when the game is free, and we have plenty of new faces to bring in.

Now, I've heard that a certain TF2 leadership member, whose name will remain unknown, may eat a Mysterious Unusually-Special Type Of Recruiting Endowed Orderve if TF2 gets a certain amount of recruits past our goal. A little bit later this week, we will be revealing a little game we've made up to help you figure out which of our members of leadership will eat this treat.

The Game:

Getting a recruit fully signed up into the TF2 division: 2 points.

Getting a recruit to go to an eGO TF2 event: 1 point.
(We can check this one, just leave a note if you want under the name)

Points can be spent as such as of July 10th:

5 point hints (private): #s 1-10. Small hints about who it is or who it isn't. 6 points to relase publicly.

10 point hints (private): #s 1-5. Medium hints about the person. 11 points to release publicly.

25 point hints (public): #s 1-3. These hints are absolutely huge. They are released in order, so when you unlock one you unlock #1 first. When #1 is released we will decide a date to let you guys guess who it is. To give you a hint, #3 is the final answer!

Additionally, I will occasionally put up recruiting questions and the first three people to get an answer will get a point or two. Since I will be in this competition, but I already know the answer, I will give random bonuses out from my points.

We will have winners in points earned, and winners in guessing the Leadership member first. There will be a 1st prize and a Runner-Up prize on guessing.

REMEMBER: Only TF2 division recruits from July 1st, 2011 and onward count towards this competition.

Recruits from the TF2 recruiter of the month thread ARE ALLOWED to be reposted here.


Now for the meaty part.

IF we get a grand total of 75 recruits for the month, we hit our goal, but didn't exceed it.

IF we get a grand total of 100 recruits for the month, the hidden leadership member will eat the mustoreo AND we will have our own special event.

Thursday the 14th of July, 2011, at 4 PM EST, we will be having a euro recruiting drive on the servers. We are planning to have four this month and keep it this way from now on, anyone can come in and join, but we ask that you are in ventrilo and that you are either trying to learn how to recruit or are actively recruiting. Thanks!

AND REMEMBER KIDS, THERE WILL BE HATS!

_______________________

Additional donations:

Activate will also give away 3 hats (a couple very nice ones), one each to the top three recruiters.

For anyone who exceeds 10 recruits, sentry will personally give casino cash and a hat to.

Points Totals:

Sequel Sentry - 23 points

FREESTYLEkill3r - 44 points

Misilero - 4 points

Power - 6 points

Nik :D - 4 points

Louis IV - 11 points

We really need to focus on recruiting on Valve Maps. I haven't had any time to play in days, but when I return I'll be doing just that.

That server's gone from rank 386 to over 800 in a matter of days. That's a disgusting drop, especially since it took us months of hard work to get it just from 600 and something to 400 and something. We literally just lost months of work in 5 days.

...definitely gotta get Valve Maps regulars and "e" members.
 
I just recruited four players, in the past 6 days for July Recruiter of the Month :/ (awarded for 3 of them, though one of them shouldn't have been awarded, and I PMed Spidey about it).
Would mine still count here? :/
It's posted over at the Recruiter of the Month thread.

Yes, they will count, you can post them here. Just make sure you edit your post, just like in the recruiter of the month thread.
 
Will do Sentry, thanks for the reply so quickly.
This will be my post for recruiting, I'll keep the one above how it is, just in case some others have recruited anyone the past six days, so they know it will count. (Also, I still need my #4 awarded when you get the chance)
Also, my last question(s) (so I will know, as well as if anyone else was wondering), do we still need to edit our post over at the "Recruiter of the Month" thread, as well as this one? If not, will Casino Cash still be a reward for each recruit, a hat for your 10th recruit, and a special "Recruiter of the Month" hat for the top recruiter, still be in play?

If the lag spikes and general ugh experience one gets when playing there (as a west coast player at the least) were to be addressed I could see it return back to power. As it stands right now its not even worth playing on when its one of 2 (barnblitz is the other) servers you don't have an astonishingly high ping on yet can't rocketjump because of the glitchy lagginess and lag spikes. This problem is also frequently mentioned by pubbers when I was playing there, so its not isolated to just me.

I agree with you. I'm not even going to attempt bringing that server up in ranks anymore until some of these problems are addressed. I actually talked to some of the people on my friends list who USED to be our regulars, and they said they left because of the crashing and lag.
 
Now that it is August, I believe I won the Recruiter of the Month for TF2 - July, as well as this contest, so I was wondering when the hats/CC will be handed out, and when we can see that awesome mystery mustoreo video? :D

Glad we beat CS:S in recruiting this month! Let's do it again this month! :cool:

Sorry for the delay. Anyway, my promised hats will be given out a bit later in the month as I am gone til the 13th. Send me a pm if I owe you one and you will receive it.

1st: Freestyle

2nd: Power

3rd: Louis VI

On the other hand, Activates promised hats can be gotten by talking to him and letting him know your place.

Let's say the Mustoreo video will be here in a tiny bit, before Kevi goes to bed most likely.

I intended to listen to things you guys had talked about in Ventrilo and form an event around it, so we are having a competitive Sniper vs. Sniper event on the 6th, as I've heard a lot about sniping.

Anyway, I'm gone til the 13th. If you guys have any questions or concerns feel free to forum pm me and I will get back to you when I get back.

Thanks,
~SS
 
^ Double posts are win ;D

Sending PMs now, and Kevi! :D Yay, mystery revealed!

I'm thinking we should have one of these every month, to encourage recruiting, so we can come in 1st for top recruiting division each month :cool:

I'll help with future ones if needed!
