Consular Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 WELCOME to The West Pacific! ~Where the coffee is always fresh, the bar always open, and there's Karaoke every Friday.~ This is a feeder region, which means newly created nations spawn here. A feeder is the best place to learn how to play the game, meet new people, and get involved with the game at your own pace. Did you know TWP contains players who have been playing this game for over a decade? We're all committed to helping you become another in a long line of new players who have joined our region and have gotten to know others and left a mark on the game. We have dedicated offsite forums which host our regional government, as well as many other entertaining activities. You'll find these forums here: http://twp.nosync.org/forums/ Make an account, introduce yourself, and make yourself at home. We think you'll like it here. Have questions? Feel free to telegram me, The Grey Wardens of Archsium, or our Interior Minister The Thunderbolts and Lightning of Intelligent Holograms. Always yours, The West Pacific Interior Ministry.

punkdaddy Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Yep, I think Arch's is fine. I think we should have a registration ratio of at least 500 TGs to 1 new recruit. At least. If we have less than that then our bait isn't getting the job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westwind Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 I want to continue to include the notes about joining the WA (I'm seeing a significant increase in WA's in the region, we've increased by almost 50 in one week) and the note about telegram settings. Letting them know they can turn off recruitment tg's is a benefit to the new player, and it hinders the effectiveness of telegram scripts. I'll update the telegrams from your suggestions soon. Thank you ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westwind Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 New Welcome telegram is a hybrid of the last and your suggestions....

Westwind Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 I beleive it is. We've had quite a significant increase in WA's among new nations. We'd get 2 - 4 new WA's a day, and that's roughly doubled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pestarzt Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I like it, but I can't help but feel like it needs a brief preface. I think it might be wise to stick something into the beginning that clarifies that the telegram is intended to help them get settled in TWP. Otherwise, it reads to me like a bunch of things that I'm not sure what to do with, and if I were a new player that might overwhelm me. My suggestion for the beginning would be as follows. I've also added a few other suggestions, but take them as you will. Greetings %NATION%, and Welcome to The West Pacific! ~Where the coffee is always fresh, the bar always open, and there's Karaoke every Friday.~ I've sent you this telegram to introduce you to your home region and to let you know what the next steps in your time on NationStates are. There is a lot to explore in TWP and I've done what I can to simplify it for your convenience. This game can be overwhelming at first, but it becomes simpler after you take the first steps. In this telegram, you may find some basic information about your region and the many options you have for getting settled here and making the most of your NationStates experience. First and foremost, you may have noticed that you're currently in The West Pacific. The West Pacific is one of the oldest, most storied regions in the game and it has just about everything any region can offer. It's no coincidence that you started here. This region the best place to learn how to play the game, meet new people, and get involved at your own pace. You can quickly learn more about the game by reading our Dispatch: "New to NationStates?

Westwind Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 I like it. It did concern me that it doesn't open with enough specific direction. And I also wish I could use the same formatting as for a Factbook or Dispatch. Allowing some of those additional formatting tags in Recuritment tgs would also help regions distinquish themselves from the crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
