|
|
Today, a new alliance was created, called 'The Next Step', which is literally the next step onwards for potential TF and IG beginners.
As we all know, there are a majority of players within TF and IG who are inactive (around 70%). And a small proportion are actually able to communicate their views and their problems to the helper.
And what is this small proportion? This small proportion perfectly makes up The Next Step - included in TNS is anyone, in TF or IG, who the leaders feel ready and confident enough to take it to the next level, to experience fighting situations and act within a more realistic alliance.
TNS has many benifits compared to the training inside TF and IG:
-TNS members will have a much better chance of getting into the top alliances
-TNS members will be able to battle with 'Target of Practice' - a controlled player who will have some very basic setups for you to pit yourself against, and, with our help, win a lot of points!
-TNS members are specially selected so, everyone in TNS will be active and willing to learn (unlike TF and IG)
-The TNS leader scored the 3rd best score of all time, therefore he is one of the best players to train the new generation of ST
-TNS operates like a real alliance so, it may well go into positive scores (although we haven't sorted this out yet)
-TNS members will be able to experience a much more realistic alliance system - as the alliance is much smaller (we are aiming for 6-8 players, 50% from IG, 50% from TF), we are able to give tasks such as flag commander and minister of communication to appropiate members, as well as pass around comlists etc., without the worry of becoming a threat to other alliances
-EVERY (TNS) member will have individual training, instead of TF/IG help - whatever part of Spacetrace they are interested in, whatever their ability and whatever their chosen language.
TNS is like a university for newcomers - it is to give them the learning needed to take them to the next step! _________________

Looks good as long as you properly advertise it to new players... I sure could have done with it!
Best of luck! _________________ www.billsnode.co.uk |

This is what the starter alliances should have been, so this should be very good, as said above, as long as the people trying to learn the game in IG or TF are brought in.
Do the leaders of IG and TF get a note when a new player shows up? Or do they just have to keep checking the alliance page? Because each new player should be contacted, and advised, and if they stay in the game more than a day or two (seems to be the life span for most of them) then bring them into TNS.
Also, good to see ImpWizz is still active. I took 1800 points from him the other day, and he quickly deleted his account. I figured he was off crying someplace.

A worthy cause, if ever there was one.

It would be great if we could find another vet to enter TNS, to reply to messages if ImpWizz cannot, and to operate 'Target of Practice' at the right times, and of course, to help the influx of new members we are getting! At this rate I'm thinking of starting another TNS!
Anyone who would step up would be great. All you have to have is some experience and msn, and a forum prescence.
Just contact me here, or in my ingame accounts (or give me a buzz on msn if you know it):

Really need your help - would be very useful! _________________

There is no note generated when a new player joins tha "Starter" alliance. Players who log in more than once or twice is around 5%
About 25% - 50 % (guestimate) of these will ask for advice or how to play/fly/dispatch probes etc.
These are the people I respond to as they are now interested in actually playing ST.
I encourage them to attack other "dead" accounts within the alliance itself or go play at the Battle Sim where they can get "instant gratification" of a battle. |
