Hi Guys, I think getting in more players and the idea of a drive for recruits is a great idea. While we have a good active list, it can always grow, and new blood brings with it more buzz in the forum and more Enigma brand awareness in game (when I started I saw enough Enigma to get a feel for the squad and the type of pilots that it had).
I'm happy to get as many new players as we can in, as long as we maintain the integrity of the Enigma brand. I believe our current recruiting process allows for this. Players that don't fly "the Enigma way" (e.g. team and spawn killers) are unlikely to get votes for full membership, but we also have the ability to help them reform, and that's a good thing. The DF community benefits if players play fair.
It would be good if we could get some trustworthy players under rank 10 to scout for talent in the minor league (the new server for under rank 10 players), since none of us will get the see these players and spot/develop talent early on. Once they join the major league they may have no interest to join a squad, since they haven't seen any squads before. Perhaps we should start an Enigma under rank 10 sub-squad so we get our brand out here with new players?
