Deleted By Silent For Exhbiting Rage and Edvieince of Lack Of Self-Contorl. Reprimaided and Scolded for Actions...
NOTE: I learned that I cannot change the name of the topic. Very sorry. Also, I cannot access my second post becuase of this browser glitch. So, I'll just link your topic (Gelrog and Alteven) here...
http://s3.invisionfree.com/The_Chaos_War/i...hp?showtopic=69Sorry for any incovience I have spoken. I am disappointed in my actions.

I hate to admit it silent... but the deletion of this topic was the highest peak of randomness. ...How in heck did you delete the topic anyway?!? Benandorf has been against you being a mod from the start, and nobody else has the authority.
And it's not my fault he posted this anyway. Your argument is irrational and just as pointless as you claim using the forum to be. <_<

Altevin, I did not delete your topic. ... If you look below this topic, you shall find your other topic. What I did was just used the name of your topic to draw your attention. Again, look below this topic on the fourm, and you shall find your orignal topic. I did not delete your topic. I only used your name as to attract Altevin here.
Secondly, I am just stressed out. Altevin, running a game needs more than two people playing. Actually, it doesn't. But a game with few members is not exactly good. Chaos War has been geared towards expansion and gaining new members. That is what keeps the game intersting and fun. It what makes a game famous, pre say. It also happens to keep a game from dying, as it is now.
I always thought that TCW is going to die. It never did, for some reason. People were active, Ben was giving out items and all were happy, with a small, but core, membership. We have alienated that membership, as they are disappointed with Ben and his "sabbatic". Altevin convinced me to arrive at the fourm in order to assume moderator posiston. I assume that if an intruder comes in and urusup power on the fourm, Ben would cut short his sabbatic and come back to keep the fourm alive. Now, I wanted TCW to live.
Ben did come back, with emotion, and hastily stopped my random events in the tracks. Then, he left. Or did not want to take up the posiston of modding. Or, I got used to modding. I liked TCW now, and I wanted to help it grow. So, I came up with exciting events...
But, I am stressed out. Two people are playing...not good for TCW. Indeed, I assume I was unjustified in making such a flame. I guess these two people are all we have left, and I think they should have the right to talk to each other. And, I cannot expect for the burdern of promotion to be on their hands. When I mean them, I mean you, Gelrog and Altevin. I formally apoligize for my actions, and promise I will restrain myself from this rage.
I am sorry for my actions.
Anyone can take up my positon and feel the same emotion I feel. But, it is ok.
I am changing the name of this topic so that you can differenate between this and the other topic.
I do beseet you, please recurit people to join TCW. Thank you...
Silent

Hm...
Well, while I am still dissapointed in your...outburst... What Benandorf did to get members when he still cared about TCW was to go to the Artemis Fowl section of
http://www.fanfiction.net and randomly contact authors who might be interested. I personally have never worked up the nerve to IM a total stranger and engage in what is essentially a spam campaign, but...

In any spam campagin, remember this:
1% of all people you ask will agree...to anything. :) Real statstsic.
Therefore, if you do a spamming camapgin, it is best to spam to everyone, even people not into Artemis Fowl (like me!). Just get thousands of email and send everyone an ad. If you send a thousand mail, you are sure to get 10 people to join CW. Even more, if you target the audience to Artemis Fowl's fan.
However, a spamming camapgin is risky. You can get "spammed back" by angry people. But, the rewards are immense. Very immense.
This talk is getting intersting. :D

But yes, you see, if we randomly contact people we get what is called "statistics", the percentage of average joes off the street with time to waste. But, by picking our contacts ahead of time, we can up the contact/new member ratio by a coniderable amount. If we randomly contact 100 people, we will get one person who is an artemis fowl fan, and a second who is a forum RPG fan. But then, if we randomly contact 100 artemis fowl fans, we could get as many as 25.

Hmmmmmmmm.....*hatches idea* go to everyone on main street and hand out CW pamphlets

On that note...

Now, you are thinking like a spammer! That is called "targeted spamming".
Well, I will try my best to promote CW. Until we get members, we wont be able to do much. I will be very busy myself...for I am trying to make a online game...
Tell you what, the more members you recurit, the better your nation will be in the near future...even if they do not join your nation. ;)
Let the targeted Spamming Rage Begin!
