Title: The Advertisement Team - Applications Closed.
Post by: Brian on July 29, 2014, 07:07:28 pm

Fellow players, we notice that on various servers of Argonath RPG the Playercount is dropping, though not everyone but the community playercount itself is dropping, that means we have a lower amount of new people, and a high rate of people leaving the community.

This happends for various reasons, but one of them is the lack of advertisement, that's where you come in and help us out.

The advertisement team
The advertisement team is a group of people focusing to get Argonath more known around the world. We want to advertise Argonath to the public, without harassing any other servers. We prioritize ourselves on public game forums and sub forums of these, yet we do not go on other communities their servers and harass them with it.

Brian and I (traser) had the idea of making a new video, just like the one that was made in 2008. But then a la 2014, it'll show all communities groups/clans of Argonath, and we will also have some sub-videos, focusing on certain servers.

Just like most things, not everyone can be apart of this. We will have a set team of people that will work on this, just so we can see who worked where and who is trust worthy enough to actually be in this team., and where can we assign another person. You will be assigned to a certain location, or maybe multiple locations, and you will have to keep it regularly updated and answer questions some people have.

While doing this, you may get some resistance from other communities now and then, or from people that have been removed from Argonath. You are representing us, the name of the community, Argonath - A world of it's own so if this happens you should not be starting fights and report this to Traser, he will handle this as soon as possible on a daily basis.

As said above, you are representing the community, therefore we expect you to have a proper attitude towards administration, other players and people that may not be so nice to you. Found out doing so may not only mean removal from this team, but also other punishments that may be more severe, depending on what you have done, this includes a community wide ban.

If you are interested in joining this team, you can fill in this form, it will be send to a board where brian and I can see all applications and we'll see who will fit.

We hope to see a team of 2-4 people per server, that can work together. So teamwork is a must. You must have proper English skills and you can not have a big punishment history, this will be checked at the server leader if unsure. There will be no set payment, but if we think you did your job well we may give you some kind reward for this. But do not expect us to give you any.

As said above, the applications will be send to a board you do not have access to, so re read your application carefully, if you later find anything you think was not correct, feel free to contact me and I will change it myself in the application.

The applications are closed at this moment.

Best regards,

Traser & Brian - Leaders of the advertisement team.

Very good initiative.

It's all good getting newer players but however I think player retention needs to be considered very deeply.

The administration can do whatever it wants, but we can only go so far if players are uncooperative.

What we need are less moaners, rulebreakers, and dissenters, and more players who are actually willing to help the administration steer this community toward a positive direction for all, rather than one that serves those players' own interests.

Stop turning every other thread into a discussion about how we have lost players, how the community has changed, problem a, problem b, it is tiring. Keep the discussion to threads directly related to it rather than ones that have a slight connection.

Either discuss this advertisement team or do not bother to post.

If I hopefully get unbanned I will bring lots of Pakistani people willing to play here. They like rp and will make clans here. Maybe scotoo will have competition. I hope they're doing well.

Advertisement is the last an unfinished server needs. Usually a server advertises its services once the script is done, which is not the case.
Advertising at this moment has little to no effect.

Just because the SA:MP server is incomplete (still playable and enjoyable, though), it does not mean that advertising the community (not only SA:MP which you are refering) has no effect. We're trying to bring people to the community, not to SA:MP.

Traser read my pm, for the attention of AD group but I see no clear hierarchy of the group so I'm send to you. Ok Friend?

Also what is this a group thread or a news thread?
It shouldn't be both.

All that I can see in the banner are the Russian and Serbian flags.

In Putin Russia you get told what you like and you better like it  :cop: unfortunately Gandalf is more like Obama of Argonath rather than a Putin. But it's ok he's still cool.
Would be cooler of-course if Obama wasn't a war criminal but then that's getting off topic. Wait...

Clearly activity of a person wasn't something considered in the choice of applicants huh.

Check when we did announce the wave and when she was last active. I don't get why you take it personally and also complain about what we considered when we accepted players. We've discussed each one of the applications in detail and have come to the conclusion that those are the people we will accept. For further complains or questions, there's PM.

We have our ways to see who will stay and who will not, anyway.

Thank-you for your response and suggestion,

I've tried several time to support and offer advice when I saw something could be improved.
I was pretty much told to stop being a b*tch and it wasn't my job and on that basis (it seems alone) my concerns would not be considered / are not valid, was told to stop annoying  and basically to fuck off.

I would like to apologize if I have caused upset to anyone, I will now avoid this subject!
Peace!

There is an entire board section dedicated to discussions on advertising. The community input comes from those who applied and were accepted into the team.

Their progress is hidden in their board section. For questions regarding this type of information, I would recommend contacting a forum Administrator.

Curious to see what ideas have been floating around.

Looking to do some videos? - If there was a dedicated Youtube account i would certainly subscribe and get the numbers up.
Adverts on other websites? - Maybe more costly...
Events? - Do a few and put them on the forum/Youtube?

Amusingly, I actually joined Argonath after someone put it on the public chat on another server, but I wouldn't condone it  :gand:

Good luck!
