I realised that we did'nt have one, and I thought it would be good to create a helpful recruitment guide, so all know what to do.

1. You should select ONE of the following texts to recruit with.

Hello!
Q102 is a great region that you may be able to help become a successful and democratic one. It is a friendly place so you will not feel out of your depth and you will have plenty of opportunities to get involved and help run the region. We have a regional forum with chat, role-play, games, a Parliament and more! We want to build a region that has a great atmosphere and with as many active and involved members as possible.

We want nations with ideas and enthusiasm!

If this is you then come to Q102, just follow these easy steps:

- Click on "The World" on the left-hand toolbar
- Type in "Q102" in the find region box at the bottom of the page
- Click on the link at the top that says "move (your country) to Q102."

Thank you for your time

Howdy,
I was supposed to pass you this fortune cookie with
a message inside. Unfortunately I grew hungry on the way here...
I mean I got robbed and all that is left is the message! Evil cookie
thieves! Anyway here's the actual message:
Since you just founded your nation, we - the good people of Q102 -
would like to invite you to join our region.
Yeah, Yeah, we know moving somewhere else is always a hassle,
but we'd help you transport your stuff!

Here's why you might want to give us a shot:

- no sanity screening required!
- a forum full of nice and moderately crazy folks
- a chose-your-own-neighbourhood map with climate zones
- a soccer league
- a cookie pirate bunny
- a zoo and a lot of other stuff which I'm not going to spoil 
oh yes, and we have a government too, if you are looking for a career!

So if you’re interested. Click on ‘The World’ option on the left toolbar. Type in ‘Q102’ in the ‘Find Region’ option, and then once you see our homepage, you will see a option to ‘move to Q102 today!’ It’s as simple as that. We hope to see you soon

Hiya!
Looking for a new home?
Looking for a fun place to be?
Looking for nice people to play with?
If the answer is ‘yes’ the Q102 is for you!

Like getting involved in government decisions?
Like having your say in the UN?
Like playing games such as ‘word association’?
If the answer is ‘yes’ then Q102 is for you!

Do you want to gain some power?
Do you want to be an active player?
Do you want YOUR voice to be heard?
If the answer is ‘Yes’ the Q102 is for you!

We are a fun region, where we like all to get involved!
We can offer you a career, fun games and plenty of role plays!
We have a good balance of fun (role plays and random threads) and seriousness (Government and elections) on our forums.

So if you’re interested. Click on ‘The World’ option on the left toolbar. Type in ‘Q102’ in the ‘Find Region’ option, and then once you see our homepage, you will see an option to ‘move to Q102 today!’ It’s as simple as that. We hope to see you soon

So, I am guessing you have had a lot of these right? And that they all say something similar? Well that’s where we’re different.
I won’t waste my time telling you about our government, our elections or even about our UN debates.

I won’t bother to go on about the theme park we have, or the many games and activities.
I won’t even tell you about the cookie pirate that we have!
All I will say is that we are a friendly and welcoming region. Any one will help you and give advice or assistance. Our forums and boards are always active and we have great diplomatic ties with many regions.
We have just celebrated our 1 year anniversary so come along and check us out; I guarantee you won’t be disappointed!

I guess all that’s left for me to do it tell you where I am from….well Q102 of course! So if you’re interested, then click on the ‘world’ option on the toolbar, and type in Q102, you will then see our regions home page on Nation States where there’s an option for you to move. So come along and join us, be part of something really special.
Thanks for you time


2. You should post in the 'Recruitment coordination' thread to say that you are starting to recruit.

3. You should visit The North, The East, The West, The South or The Pacific when recruiting. (Please be very careful here, as if you forget the 'The' you will be taken to other regions which arent 'feeder regions' we can get into a lot of trouble for recruiting in these, even by accident!)

4. You should target those who have recently been founded-taking care that thay havent already moved to another region.

5. When you recruit, you should make a note of the main part of the nations name your contacting. E.G, peachydom, Zakaroo, Lamedud etc.

6. Once finished, you should then return to the Recruitment coordination thread and EDIT your last post, you should list all the nations you contacted, and say that your finished recruiting[/color].

Thank your for this great guide, Zak. I just found one point to be changed:

Quote:
 
You should target those who have recently been recruited


it should be "founded" instead of "recruited", shouldn't it?

Everyone! All you need to recruit is in that top post! Here are some tips:

1) Use Notepad to jot down the name of the nation you TGed, then copy and paste the list into your post in the "Recruitment Coordination" thread.

2) Personally, I find TG 4 to be most effective, but others have found TG 1 to be most successful.

3) A brilliant tip: Add a personal comment. just add "P.S. I love your nation name! I'm a massive Simpsons fan myself." or something relevant to their name or whatever. But people can tell if you're clearly lying. Try and actually find something you have in common with the person.

4) When they end up in Q102, the Hospitality Minister will TG them. I urge you to stay in TG contact with nations you've recruited. It'll help them feel welcomed, and they'll have someone to ask questions and stuff.

5) You can only TG nations in the Pacifics, and only ones that have just been founded, not ones that have "arrived" from elsewhere.

I hope that helps virgin recruiters. Any other questions, please ask.

This was originally posted by Nev in another thread. I'm posting it here for relevance:

I found the rules regarding recruiting:

I have to double-check the recruitment telegrams bit.

"Lazarus":
No Civil Headquarters ads permitted, ever.
No telegramming residents with recruitment ads, ever.

Regions designated by NationStates Admins and Mods as "Warzones":
Spamming the Civil Headquarters is allowed, so recruitment ads are also allowed.
No telegramming residents with recruitment ads, ever.

Player-created regions without a Founder:
No Civil Headquarters ads permitted, ever.
No telegramming residents with recruitment ads, ever.

Player-created regions with a Founder:
Civil Headquarters ads are permitted only with the expressed permission of the Founder.
No telegramming residents with recruitment ads, ever.

Hey _______!

Great to see you made it all the way to Q102. I encourage you to join the regional forums at http://s6.invisionfree.com/Q102/ as that's where everything happens. Most of NationStates actually goes on in the offsite forums, rather than in the game itself.

If you have any questions or need any help, about the region or gameplay, or whatever, don't hesitate to drop me a telegram. Also, the forum admin are Nevareion and Zakaroo, so get in touch with them for technical help.

Enjoy yourself! ________


I've been sending this TG, or similar, to nations that have moved to Q102 after I've recruited them. I thought I'd post it here, in case anyone else wanted to use it.
