OOC: *Dusts off senate* Recruiting drive
*Cleans cobwebs out of the poll button* It seems to me..*Flicks a spider* that it has been quite a while since we bothered to make an effort to expand our organization. In light of the new ESUS Source mod we plan to make, wouldn't it be a good idea to start recruiting some new meat to get more hands on the project? More work in the long run, but more fuel to the fires of inspiration. I don't want to see this end up falling apart a year down the road because we stopped going on recruiting drives and all the oldies started to atrophy.

Bear us home upon our shields
Lay coins across our brows and sound the bells
We're paying our fare on the river to Hell
And when our sons and mothers lay us upon the funeral pyre
Tell them we died Hellenic soldiers with our faces to the fire

That wasn't my sole purpose, or even a real purpose. It just made me think that it wouldn't hurt to expand our alliance. I mean, where would we be if in our early NS days some union or other hadn't taken us in and showed us how to RP? It happened with me back in 03.

Nay, in IC ways.
We don't have enough competition as-is.
However... OOC "membership," such as an "ESUS 'This Guy's Good'" list, I shall not oppose.

This makes me think of how I came here - strangely enough, by way of Mekanta. I think that I had posted a ship design, and it was complemented by numerous ESUS members, including Mekanta. I had one other interaction before that point where he had also been present, and I had noticed he had nanites. I arranged to buy some, and one thing led to another in conversation, and eventually I came to the ESUS forums, then applied to join.
The point is, I think that we don't need to recruit; an explicit recruiting drive would probably only bring in the desperate and in turn look as if we're desperate for new blood. We just have to individually be involved with the pulse of life in FT, while unashamedly showing our alliance colors. While you might spurn this as too easy, it's harder than it looks I think.

Well, perhaps a less obvious sort of recruitment? Notice an upstart nation who displays FT rp skill etc of say..no less than 1 billion..and IC arrange some sort of meeting between their leader and an ESUS spokesmen? That way it won't be a swamping of small newbie nations who "ned munnie 4 m16s"

So long as they can pass the test, I don't see a problem with this.
I've only ever asked God for one thing: "Lord, make my enemies ridiculous," and he granted my request.
My immediate advice is to go buy Brewsters. It is a dictionary, and a quite fine one. This you should use to bludgeon yourself comatose each and every night, in the faint hope that some of the knowledge contained in it might be transferred. If not, it would at least leave you damaged enough that you wouldn't be coming here and violate our senses with your retarded babble.
I believe what Trailers is getting at is less of a recruiting drive, and more of a scouting of potential candidates, so to speak, and inviting them to join our alliance.
But, as AZ stated, this would indeed involve being actively involved in FT RP enough so that the ESUS is promoted. Otherwise any new blood that we invite who has a head on their shoulders is most likely going to say "WTF? What's an ESUS?"
