load of rubbish, it is called recruitment, mate, get a life and get over it
you can talk about spamming, you sent me 6/7 friend requests
I add all players that were on the NHS so if they asked any questions or want to know anything i could see i haven't spammed any of them with Political crap, and i doubt it was 6 or 7 request's
That many to one player it's call badgering and since the message is slagging of the government and it's members it's not helping overall there is recruitment and lack of respect for anyone that doesn't do thing's how you want.
how many?
why does it not say in the article
p.s.6/7 friend requests is also badgering
I don't have the image of the message anymore i posted on my friends wall 3 weeks ago and had over 30 comment's as people were discussed i will try to get it off one of the members that have asked me about it.
a PM every 2 days? Ridiculous. You'd think if the 'target' hadn't joined NE after the 1st PM, he'd give up, but no, he just keeps going. I'd hate to meet him when he's drunk, probably wouldn't be able to shut his yap for longer than a second.
LOL BIG ANT FOR CP
His a lot better than the current CP
BIG ANT a brave man !
LOL DAPPER FOR EDUCATION
He grammar better than the current CP
DAPPER a smart man!
"you can talk about spamming, you sent me 6/7 friend requests" lol
I guess it's just PMing all unpartied players without tracking who you sent messages to, so duplicates happen.
The horror!
If it had been a simply PM then fair enough i know another member who had two PM's of IA in the same day but he's attacking the government and the country as a young player would you honestly want that or even stay afterwards?
He is attacking the country is he? I doubt it.
Sounds like a way to get someone interested in the game. Since your party has 2 members and BigAnt's has 240 members I think I know which is entertaining the most people and keeping them in the game.
I don't want any members this is the happiest i've been since playing the game no bull shit politics's instead i focus on NHS and helping the players i mentor.
Ow and interested in the game yeah don't seem to be working with 20 - 30 people joining eUK every day and most only 1 third seem to be staying longer than a week great drop if you were in a business you would be fired and is it Big Ant's party funny thought he was just one of the members and according to the article's you want new players to run as your CP's and PP's yet they don't seem to get the chance!
"Sounds like a way to get someone interested in the game. Since your party has 2 members and BigAnt's has 240 members I think I know which is entertaining the most people and keeping them in the game."
By which logic you guys should stop complaining about TUP since they have even more members than you do...

Try and keep it professional while owning them!
Yeah because i don't spam any of the new players and i don't recruit FULL STOP i actually recommend new players to join one of the party's in top 5-10 small enough they can have a say while learning the rope's
Bigant is a strange one while i disagree with a lot of what he says he is definitely putting the effort in 29 society builder medals 3 time cp and he's definitely a patriot as he seems to always want the best for the country even while he was screwing up his 3 terms in office i could see ever decision was what he though was best for the country (and PM is a tough job) i don't think he would ever leave the country unlike some others and while the recruitment messages and constant stream of rubbish about how the government is doing a bad job maybe annoying it takes a lot more effort for him to write articles(+buy votes for them) and send/get a script to send messages to players (if he's not using a script it's even more impressive). While i don't like him i respect his dedication to the game and think the eUK is probably better with him than without him
Wow some sense here!
Just because someone doesn't do things like you doesn't mean that they don't benefit the game.
Stop attacking activity D I W.
hmmm feels wrong couldn't you just call me a prick instead
As i've said recruit is fine all party's MU and countries want to grow and imporve but don't step and shit on other's along that path!
I do think it comes down to the tone and content of the message though. If you message a new player with a "Hi, welcome to the game - consider joining political party X where there is a great community" type message is acceptable and welcoming. On the other hand, a "Hi, welcome to the game and eUK where there is civil war and corruption etc" sets a bad image..
And he unlike other's doesn't mention the NHS scheme the mentoring the eUK university anything that could be seen as hepful to new players just JOIN NEW ERA JOIN BA
TUP paint a false image of us..
My statements are fact, i think players should know the truth 😉
I'm not going to get drawn into a "they do this and you do that" debate. The simple fact is that incorporating political bitching against another party is maybe inappropriate for a welcoming a new player and getting them interested in staying in the game.
Is that statement as BA, Scott or Ben Two?
Coming from a person who lied to congress and to allies, that is hard to believe.
i dont see you hitting TUP with that tune...
What do you mean?
you sdee other TUP members trolling everyday..im yet to see you attack them.. get my jist
I've not seen any evidence of TUP members mailing new members and asking them to "join the TUP because Bog Ant is a (enter your favourite insult or accusation here)"... If I saw evidence that they were doing party or character assassinations as part of their membership drive then I would condemn the individual involved too. I am condemning you on this thread since you were the one who got caught.
My view on this is simple: I don't care if people want to write newspaper articles accusing other players or parties of wrongdoings or poor performance etc. However, I think it sets a very bad image the idea that the first mail a new player gets is a negative political message full of accusations etc. And I think this regardless of who is doing the mailing. You will be aware from your time in the UKPP that I was highly critical of some of Sir Nick's recruitment policies too so this isn't a political dig at people of other parties only (even if Sir Nick has since left).
And I see people of all parties trolling each other so tend to ignore it as much as possible. Most of the trolling is between the players with the biggest egos who are also nursing some of the biggest butthurt...
My concern here is scaring away potential new long term players by giving the impression that the game is one long fued.
Wall of text, did not read
Bottom line is if big ant would stop being so up his own ass the uk might be a better place
or that he is just doing what a recruiter does, send recruitment messages, honestly what do you expect him to do?
just expect that people will join New Era by sitting back and doing nothing, throw a party?
meh, people might fall for it, but TUP is stronger than that and we will prove our awesomness again and again and again.
just a few days left in number 1 spot, enjoy em while you can
: - P
remember when we lost is last year to UKPP?
oh wait, whose number 4 now...
well, we all learned lessons from the UKPPs downfall, how to protect your party from being PTO'd
taking precautions to stop you PTOing us
it was falling before the PTO Wigibob...its because BA recruitment doesn't work long term.
I would like to state that Big Ant was the most fun president I have ever seen. As a new person, it was a blast. I support you BA!
