PA new recruit thread

Unread postby icycalm » 23 Jan 2015 20:12

I am putting this thread here so the trolls don't see it and try to contact our new players and mess with them. That Stuart98 guy has been hounding me on Steam, in the game, and he just followed our Twitch channel, so I don't know what other shit he might try to pull.

So, we got all these new guys coming in, but they are not equally invested. Some of them might be YES PLEASE I WANT TO PLAY, and some of them might be "sure whatever", or "yes, but in a month because I am on trip around the world right now". So to save you the effort of spamming everyone with friend invites and Steam chats that go nowhere, I will post here our recruitment chats with them, so you know whom to contact and whom to leave alone for now. Note that I haven't saved all of them so far, but from now on I will. Here goes.

(Also, the generic Mumble password is "sesame", if you want to try to get some of them on Mumble on your own, which you should because it's a lot of work for me to handle all of them on my own. Make sure they also have the CULT tag in PA before they play with you and that they are on your PA friend list.)


ArchieBuld: oh hey
ArchieBuld: you play PA!
ArchieBuld: yus!
icycalm: wanna play with us?
icycalm: we are a PA clan

This is The Dean's friend. It's only half of our conversation because I didn't save the first half. It starts right after I showed him last Saturday's video. He was very enthusiastic in the first part, and he told me his friend The Dean would love to play with us and that he would talk to him:

Ashslayer: go purple go!
Ashslayer: c'mon purple! you can do it!
icycalm: lol
icycalm: they did it
icycalm: they are very good
Ashslayer: yellow is doing pretty well
Ashslayer: but purple has that one guy who can do anything
icycalm: we started playing in august
Ashslayer: ahh
icycalm: they have been playing since alpha
Ashslayer: I played a bit in beta and such
icycalm: the problem with the other clans is they don't play as a team
Ashslayer: yeah I see that
icycalm: they each have their little bases
icycalm: whereas we make one or two big bases
icycalm: and divide the roles
icycalm: so one person builds the base, and another does the army
Ashslayer: usually me and my friends do that too, but after 5-10 minutes we switch on the teamwork and help out eachother
icycalm: or the orbital, etc.
icycalm: with 10v10s, you HAVE to play roles
Ashslayer: the dean usually does eco and I do army
Ashslayer: I agree
icycalm: nice
Ashslayer: or I do ground army + defense
Ashslayer: dean goes eco + air
icycalm: on sunday we play against the AC clan
icycalm: 7v7s
icycalm: 9PM UTC
Ashslayer: gonna check what time that is
Ashslayer: I think Im +1 GMT
Ashslayer: +1 or +0
icycalm: if you are around, maybe you can play
Ashslayer: so 11:51 utc right now?
Ashslayer: 12:51 right now where I am
icycalm: yes
Ashslayer: that is not an issue
Ashslayer: oooh
Ashslayer: I never thought of orbital fabbers on the gas giant
Ashslayer: genius
Ashslayer: also dean played supreme commander so he knows a lot of things that PA doesnt teach
Ashslayer: I know just a bit of the things that supreme commander taught
icycalm: gas giants have been in since september
icycalm: and unit cannons were added recently
icycalm: and submarines in 2 weeks
Ashslayer: yeah I havent played for over a month so I havent tried the unit cannons
Ashslayer: they used to be a mod though
Ashslayer: I'm just gonna go afk now and watch the rest of the match later
icycalm: ok later man

icycalm: 7v7, 10v10, etc.
icycalm: want to join?
Booman246: Tell you what,
Booman246: I'm too busy and have too many commitments to lock myself into anything else
Booman246: But if you want a casual player, I'm willing to hop in on your big games
Booman246: So how do you feel about that?
icycalm: I sent you an invite to our Steam group
Booman246: Yeah I got that
icycalm: get in, and play whenever you can
Booman246: Appreciate the consideration
Booman246: Hopefully I'll see you ingame some time
icycalm: make sure you have a headset and mic
Booman246: I do indeed

icycalm: hello
icycalm: we are a PA clan and we are looking for new players to play large team games on our custom server
icycalm: 7v7, 10v10, etc.
icycalm: want to join?
DrZ: Hi, thanks for the invite. I don't play much anymore, I just seem to read a lot about PA. Perhaps it's because of an aversion to being rubbish at a game I have been following for so long...I'll join though, if there's no pressure right now to play? Hopefully I can start to play some more in the coming weeks.
icycalm: I sent you an invite to our Steam group
icycalm: large team games are more fun than anything else
DrZ: I accepted an invite to your Steam group. :P
icycalm: cool
icycalm: when you have some time to play i'll give you the details to our mumble channel
icycalm: and no, there's no pressure man
DrZ: Yeh, I've always felt that way too. Working with people is so much more satisfying than getting dicked over by chance on a Free for All 1v1v1v1 or the intense pressure of going mano e mano.
icycalm: do you have time to play today?
DrZ: cheers mate, I'll give it a look and let you know when I'm up for playing again.
DrZ: eeehhhhh.....probably not. Got some house stuff to do and would like to play just a couple of practice games to limber up.
icycalm: ok, catch you later then!
DrZ: no probs. Thanks again

This one was a bit different to the usual stuff.


Dourel: who the fuck are you
Dourel: ;d
icycalm: hi
icycalm: wanna join a PA clan?
icycalm: we play big team games
icycalm: 7v7, 10v10 etc.
Dourel: cool
Dourel: but why?
Dourel: PAStats have all the servers
Dourel: modified ones
Dourel: big games are hard to find and boring
icycalm: they are not hard to find because we are a big clan
icycalm: as for boring...
icycalm: I only like big games
icycalm: 1v1s are boring to me
Dourel: i understand
Dourel: but whatever
Dourel: ehh
Dourel: you can hit me up if you will host or have some kind of big game
Dourel: im up for it
Dourel: but theres no need to be in clan
Dourel: ;p
icycalm: I sent you an invite to our group
icycalm: if you are in the group, people can see you online
icycalm: and then you can come to our mumble server
icycalm: otherwise we can't talk
icycalm: we only play in the same team with clanmates
icycalm: everyone else is the enemy
icycalm: lol
Dourel: kk
Dourel: im too drunk today ;p
Dourel: i will prolly forget all of this
Dourel: ;p
icycalm: eh we'll see
icycalm: later
Dourel: ;p
Dourel: cya


150+ friend invites, 15+ new members, and I only got to play two 2v2s with one guy so far (Aischylos)... It's gonna be a hard grind.

Given that it is a private Steam group, can anyone invite new members or does it need to be you or one of the group moderators?

No one goes in the group unless I personally invite them. But that has nothing to do with PA. You can bring in as many people to the clan, and on Mumble, as you want, and when you tell me about it I will send them the group invite. It's only a formality.

Also, let's start posting here our experiences with the new members, so we are all on the same page.

So far, I've only played with Aischylos. He is a cool high school senior from Massachusetts who's going to study computer science next year and has been playing PA since beta (about 110 hours). He has the clan tag and has connected to Mumble, so he is good to go. He also likes big team games, though I don't think he's played many, so I think he has a future with us. The only bad thing about him is that his desktop PC has a very loud fan, and it's sitting on his desk, and it can get really annoying on Mumble on continuous. On voice activation it's tolerable, though he said he'll try to get his desktop off the desk, or play with his mic's sensitivity settings.

Played a game with Pitch Black. He's new to the game but it's not his first RTS. He's asked me to play a few games so I think he's pretty enthusiastic about it. His speech occasionally became really garbled and broken up. He's in Malaysia and said his internet connection isn't great.

Pitch Black never asked me to play, and he's always on Snooze when I see him. I had written him off as worthless, so glad to hear you got him on Mumble. Maybe he didn't message me because I am the group's admin and he feels more comfortable messaging you. But then you are a moderator now... Or maybe your time zone is more convenient for him than mine. It's good to have more people from that side of the world, so that the Australians have more people to play with.

Note that The Dean is one of the most enthusiastic new recruits we have. And his friend Ashslayer, though a little less enthusiastic, will want to play with him. They were busy yesterday, but they should have time to play this weekend (and they have both used Mumble before, so they should be easy to get on our channel). Other people that seemed quite enthusiastic to me were the funny banana, the Swedish kid Starnerd3 (who needs to be told to remove the CULT tag from his Steam account name), DrZ, WwAiRtRhIiOnR, maybe Jacko, and ArchiBuld, but he's a noob and will require a lot of work.

Also, I have stopped asking Celeryjack to play. He either always says no, or he says nothing, or he waits for an hour after I messaged him and then says no. I recommend no one talks to him again. We have dozens of new people to talk to; Celery knows the Mumble channel so he can drop by whenever he wants. Don't waste your breath on him. Begging him every day to play with us makes us look pathetic, as a group. We don't need him.

Also, Basilosaurus has come on Mumble but he hasn't played yet. (I am bolding the names of each player the first time they are mentioned in this thread as having come on Mumble, to be easier to pick out among the tons of names mentioned here.)

The group now has 60 players, and I have 73 people on my friend list. That means I have another dozen people to try and add to the group, and that's without all the ones who will accept my friend invite today. The plan works exceptionally well and there's really no limit to how much we can grow the clan as long as we are prepared to talk to all these people patiently and figure out what's their deal. I am a bit overwhelmed by the amount of work required, but on the other hand I am glad it's up to me if I want to make a huge PA clan or not. It's great to know I don't need anyone else to do it.

Once you have played a few games with someone and you are comfortable with them, and as long as they have a few extra minutes, you should get them on PA Stats if they don't have the mod already. Get them to download PAMM and enable it, and play at least one game so that they show up here:

http://www.pastats.com/players?search=cult

I have an idea for Galactic Clan Wars and I'll see if I can get the leader of Promethean, who is my friend, to try it out with me. Basically, The Cult vs. Promethean Galactic War, and once that war is over we can start a new one and bring in more clans. And the players on each side will be determined by PA Stats: whoever is on PA Stats with his clan tag will be eligible to play. And players can be added DURING the war. So this will be a good way to spur clan recruitment. Losing the war and running out of commanders? Go on a recruitment spree and throw more players in the battle!

Cool, no?

I am even going to tell the other clan leaders how to recruit people, but only after we have become the largest clan in the game. Once we reach 300 or 400 players (all of them on PA Stats, lol, so the others can see how huge we are), we can play.

Just played a bunch of games with Starnerd3/StarofSweden and Hot Brown/MayorD (danjiro was also there). They are both really cooperative and really fun to play with. They know the game well too (and are both on PA Stats). Nothing else to report here. Play with them.

Played with Auraenn. He whined about large team games and he whined about Mumble versus TeamSpeak, but in the end he came online and played a nice 5v5 with us. No whining in the actual game, so maybe he can be salvaged. We'll see. And before that we tried playing with the funny banana, but he sounded like a 12-year-old lol, or like a girl, and when I casually inquired about that, in the politest way I could think, he disconnected from Mumble, left the Steam group and removed me from his friend list lol. A productive day, all told.

I removed Celeryjack from the group and my friend list. He just sits on Steam all day with his status on "Looking to play", but he never replies to my messages. The one time he replied he took an hour to do so, and still said no. And the one time I played with him it was like playing with a deaf mute. He still has the clan tag on PA Stats, so if he talks to you guys at some point and wants to come back you tell him to talk to me and apologize, otherwise don't play with him if he comes on Mumble. I can't boot him from Mumble because he uses the same password as all the new guys and I can't change that without fucking everyone up.
