Activity and recruiting.

[[QS] quiXoté~!!]

All,

We need to step up and get back out on the field. As a clan (and I know this applies to myself as well), we are falling behind in activity and ability, and I know we can do much better. We also need to recruit more guys who already are seasoned players, like Spawnz and Gambit. I am working with Spawnz to recruit Eden, but we need to consider recruiting less nubs and more known pros.

We seem to have a lot of dead weight in the clan. Posting on forums is great, but in the end this is a halo clan and we need to be playing (well).

Thoughts, comments? No offense is intended, I am targeting no one in particular.

I've been feeling the same way for quit some time. How do you suggest we deal with this? Clan Purge?

I agree although i have a question. Am I dead weight? I don't play all i do is "post" on the forums. Also Eden? The kid who booms alot lol?

So Tonic is correct when he says things are a bit slow around here? I would always get real active when things got down, and that would always seem to help.

Just realizing that things are slowing down and wanting to do something will be good enough for QS to get back on it's feet. It's winter, people are busy..It alwys gets slow at this time of year, but there are things you can do to pick it up.

The best thing to do is recruit and host inclans.

[[QS] quiXoté~!!]

Star, I do not consider you dead weight as you have a purpose in the clan. The forums are currently the most active "forum" for the clan. I mean people who just stop by and post and don't play. We need them out in the field or we need to recruit someone who will. I think Eden would be a solid player to have and hopefully we can mello him out. We can train up like we usually do, but it will take a long time to be competitive that way.

What about Soze, censor, iced, ribbon? All those players are on the verge if not already there of becoming some huge deciding factors. Sure they need to be a bit more, but we have them?

If we get Eden, QS will be way more active, and more players will come. But getting Eden here won't be so easy. I'll help though.

I thought Eden hates QS?

[[QS]² skruffinator]

Lmao, apparently he does. Look at his intro.

[[QS] quiXoté~!!]

I had a long conversation with Spawnz and Eden yesterday. I am glad things are working out. He will be a good addition in terms of ability. Now we need to increase our activity. :]

[[SQ] Alc]

Get a QS map going. maybe even just get a FV map over here, just change the pace a bit.

[[QS]_ShaDo]

hmm its a risk having eden in qs, it's hard to take him seriously sometimes, idk if he'll be in it for a while and be active..Oh well im glad u all got him to join =]

[[QS] quiXoté~!!]

well at the least Shado, he is a bit of a kick in the ass..which I think we need right now. It's all well and good to acknowledge many people in the clan have school and can't play much, but that doesn't mean we need to slug it through until another holiday break..

[[QS]² skruffinator]

More people will join because of Eden. We already got Blame wanting to join because of Eden. Blame was an ex =SA= member.

Now, if we get enough people to sign up for my tourney, that would help.

I never got a long with Eden very well back in the day. As a matter of fact, I've had issues with him and I found it hard to trust him for whatever reason, however, that's just me and it doesn;t mean it wouldnt be a good idea for him to join. I think if I were still leader and he came to me wanting to join, I would seriously question him as to why he would want to join.

You guys certainly know way more about whats going on out there than I do, and if you think he would be a good addition to QS than so be it. Just remember, that when I was leader I would always prefer to recruit newer people with potential rather than a clan hopping pros. I would welcome pros into QS, but I knew what would happen eventually. With newbies w/potential, you can groom them into becoming very loyal to QS, and train them the way you want them to be trained. With pros, they do as they want, and it's tough to actually "lead" them. It's been a tradition in QS that a pro wont last for very long, (with the exception of a couple of people) and it's tough to get them loyal, however, they may inspire others to join into QS and that can be a good thing I guess.

Up to you guys.

[[QS] quiXoté~!!]

Sneaky, I agree about the increase in loyalty with home-grown talent, but often growing them is a long term solution to increasing a clan's talent. Eden has had a shifty past, but I think he is widely acknowledged these days as just a talented player (though a bit annoying to some). Spawnz is also very good friends with him, and I think having a good connection like that would help him stay rather than hop to another clan. Speaking of hopping, I don't believe he has really been in a clan for some time (as far as I can tell). In this case, we may want to try a page from the -GB- playbook, they are able to keep some heavy hitters and I am thinking it is because of why I am hoping Eden will stay (Spawnz being here). Recruiting good players who are friends with the talented ones here I think is a good idea.

When I was speaking about recruiting "nubs," I was considering it a long term talent solution. Even if Eden decides to leave in a month, I hope we would have benefited from his presence...and it would hold us over until we train up new folks.

Again, this does not address my thinking that the clan is a bit to focused on forums rather than the game. Perhaps getting people to inclan again is the solution there, but there are a lot of people on this roster and when I see more -GB- playing in rooms than [QS], I do wonder why...since we are at least double in size.

[[QS] quiXoté~!!]

I encourage more Senators to give their views...we are all on the same level after all! At the least, indicate this topic was read (as I believe Sneaky wanted done).

[[SQ] Alc]

Meh. What is wrong with a small active clan? It would be a problem if over half our members didn't play, but it seems all of our members play almost every day. Even I play CE every day. Granted I don't play trial, but that is because my lead is -------------- compared to my CE lead which is ---

[[QS] quiXoté~!!]

I didn't realize [QS] was also for CE. xD

[[QS]² skruffinator]

Kappy gave us CE link for free download. Keyword FREE. Meaning all the cheap trial kids can get CE for FREE without spending money on FV. We've had inclans on CE before so it's helping.
