| Welcome to Talo Balka! This is the forum for the NationStates region known as Talo Balka. We're a new region that came about as a result of a merger between New Talos and Franco Balka. We're still in the very early stages of building our new home. You're currently viewing our forum as a guest. This means you are limited to certain areas of the board and there are some features you can't use. If you join our community, you'll be able to access member-only sections, and use many member-only features such as customizing your profile, sending personal messages, and voting in polls. If you aren't a member of Talo Balka, New Talos, or Franco Balka, or unless you're somehow involved with one of those regions (i.e, as an ambassador), there really isn't much point in registering.

For now I think we should try to bring in some new blood. Although this merger will boost activity, I think we should increase it further. Like I said, I can run a recruitment script, but we need to deal with the following issues first: - Writing a recruitment telegram - Writing a welcome telegram - Deciding how to assimilate new members For the recruitment telegram, I think we should write a few different versions, use them for about a week each, and see if any one has a notably higher rate of recruitment. If not, we can randomly choose one to use until we deem it necessary to change it up. The welcome telegram is also very important. There are a lot of new players who don't know what to do, feel overwhelmed, or don't see an opportunity to speak up. The welcome message should probably link to the NS FAQ for basic instructions, direct them to join our forum and introduce themselves, and invite them to talk on the RMB and ask us any questions they have. I'm going to have several hours of free time today, so I'll get some drafts for these done, but I ask that you all create your own original drafts as well so we can see what works and combine them together. Finally, I think new members should be welcomed warmly and shouldn't have to jump through hoops in order to participate fully in our community. Unless we establish a regional government sometime down the line, there is no reason why our forum shouldn't be open to everyone. Hopefully we'll get this region pumping! |

I pumped out a possible draft for a recruiting message: You joined a nation simulation. You want to make a difference. Hello there, [nation]! I'd like to invite you to my home region, [region]Talo Balka[/region], one of the friendliest communities on NationStates. In [region]Talo Balka[/region] you have the opportunity to actually make a change in a new, flourishing region getting ready to enter the world stage. Unlike massive regions where it's hard to get a word in edgewise, or tiny regions where it might be too easy to become the loudest (Or perhaps only) voice in the room, [region]Talo Balka[/region] has a small, experienced, active membership that wants to broaden its horizons and make new friends. In other words, you won't be swallowed whole or left hanging. Our members have a wide range of interests, including: - Roleplaying - Regional government - Politics - Gaming - Culture And much, much more. Chances are you'll find someone with the same interests as you in [region]Talo Balka[/region], whether it's NationStates related or not. You've got nothing to lose. Come stop in at [region]Talo Balka[/region] and see if it suits your fancy! Yours truly, [Insert nation name here] What do you guys think? |

That looks good. But are we really "getting ready to enter the world stage"? Minor thing, I guess, but still. |

No, we're not. However, it makes us sound more interesting, and I've never heard of some recently recruited member accusing a region of "false advertising." Besides, in a sense we are getting ready to enter the world stage. After all, in a few days we're probably going to get another 40 embassies or so. Any other edits? I know you're good at sounding friendly, at least better than I am. Barring other suggestions I'll try to set a script up tomorrow. |
