ATTENTION, ATTENTION! The Grand Council recently passed the proposal officially establishing the Recruitment Committee for the Grand Union. To begin with, the Council as a whole shall serve as Chair of the committee until a suitable candidate for Chair is found and accepts such a responsibility. Besides the Chair, there will be seekers, recruiters, and assimilators. -Seekers: Tasked with identifying possible nations/candidates to be recruited and assimilated into the Grand Union. -Recruiters: Tasked with attracting nations/candidates identified by the Seekers as possible candidates by telegram and any other Council approved means. -Assimilators: Tasked with welcoming and assimilating new member-nations so as to produce standard or greater role-players who are knowledgeable concerning regional legislature. At the moment this post is being constructed, the Council has decided to step up and get the committee in motion by taking up these positions. However, if you are interested in becoming a part of it, don't hesitate to contact the first Councilor you spot! |

Please Add me to which ever task you wish... have one recruitment msg made thus far: Beyond nebulae bursting with energy and past the dying diminishing Red Giants of the Internet there is a Universe which bubbles with magnificent intelligence and activity; The Universe of NationStates. Composed of many expanses and planets, this universe boasts many lands and regions which are Mediocre, others are boring, and yet, there are a good many others that mimic the rest- all a mirror image of the next. In the Universe of NationStates, there is but one region that is miles above the rest, a region so wonderful which can only be described with one magnificent yet dignifying word: Grand. I speak of the Grand Union... This world as we know it quickly developed from infancy as brave explorers went forth in search of fertile lands on which to rule. Tribes became villages, villages cities, and cities grew and expanded into mighty Kingdoms. Alliances and unions formed, bound together by common goals and the sharing of ideas. The desires to grow beyond each nation’s borders grew and tensions began to rise. But alas ignorance and innocence go hand in hand and the peoples of the Grand Union all choose very different paths. Many decided to stay under the control of powerful and benevolent Kings and Queens and as such monarchies as old as written history dabble the landscape. A few citizenries overthrew their suppressors and installed thriving democracies and yet an elect few, the most innocent and naïve, gave complete control to dictators, scoundrels, and murderous ravenous thugs. These, the most brutal of men, suppress their people and threaten the international community with every action. They molded their peoples into automatons incapable of freedom. Mighty superpowers compete for hegemony, communist dictators lead with iron fists, emperors and theocrats wield a bible in one hand and a gavel in the other. Air traffic connects the mightiest to the most reclusive cities, and hospitals work overtime to prevent the outbreak of a regional epidemic! Economies flourish; tourism expands; and threats wax and wane. From the mighty Fortress city of HeavenGate to the frozen labor camps of Novistrad, from the gleaming crystalline shores of the Empire of Macea to the freedom-loving folk of Austiana, Together at war and in peace; We Are The Grand Union. Be a part of History!! Join now. [We are a hardcore RP region. We train NEWBS to roleplay. We REQUIRE active off-site forum participation.] |

If you so choose. Feel free to write up your own versions. I was going to produce one for Monarchies, Communists, and Republic governments but have been rather busy. =) |

We need more recruiters of course, but can you handle what comes with that? |

I wish to take part in the Recruitment Committee. I believe if we "jazz up" our recruitment messages, it will appeal to many possible members. A technique I've seen before is using the NationStates BBCode "[nation=noname]testlandia[/nation]". This posts an image, without the nation's name. By doing this, you only post a flag, or an image. So if we can create a number of GU puppets, with flags as images that we want, then we could create a personalised recruitment message with a cool pattern of pictures, that perhaps displays a message! That's just an idea :) |

Indeed. And Novistrad, would you accept a role as Recruitment Commissioner? |

Note to self: This is a recruitment message. I have stolen the format from another recruitment message and will alter it for our own purposes. Taken from here: http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=223127 Post recruitment here: http://forum.nationstates.net/viewforum.php?f=12 Recruitment example1: http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=221769

I just read the new telegram news thingy and it does seem awesome. I will be purchasing the $9.99 TG system and will set it up to send TGs automatically. I want us to come up with a recruitment message. Austiana, you mentioned you had some ideas? Can you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be so kind as to write out some code in here? Such as adding flags to the TG message, I have no idea how to do that! Please help. Everyone else, else try and get a good gripping message together, use those bold tags! Attention grabbers! And any other thing needed to get attention. Im assuming every region on NS will be using the TG system which means ours should be especially good ! First, we should decide what kind of region we are... lol. How do I market us? What makes us different? Alot of regions are nations with the same ideology. Ours is the freedom to rule unimpeded! But what are we all about? Any ideas? Please help! |

Recruitment Telegram- TENTATIVE Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening [Insert Nation Name Here], Before you skim over this telegram, think of it as another impersonal recruitment telegram, then delete it, give it a real read. My name is [insert your name (nation or RL) and I come to you on behalf of the Grand Union. This is a recruitment message, yes, but it’s not superficial. I, along with the people of the GU, believe that each and every individual in NationStates is one with distinct qualities that can aid in the betterment of themselves and the region that they join. So at this point, you must be asking, “Why should I join the Grand Union?” The Grand Union is exactly what its name is. It’s a union, composed of different nations, different people, and different political ideologies. This “melting pot” gives distinct character to the GU that sets it apart from other regions. Mighty superpowers compete for hegemony, communist dictators lead with iron fists, emperors and theocratic rulers wield a bible in one hand and a gavel in the other. Air traffic connects the mightiest to the most reclusive cities, and hospitals work overtime to prevent the outbreak of a regional epidemic! Economies flourish; tourism expands; and threats wax and wane. Communism, monarchism, democracy, anarchy, whatever your ideology is, there’s a place for you. If you decide to control you populace via a powerful and benevolent King or Queen, install a thriving democracy, or even suppress your people to the will of a brutal dictator, we welcome you with open arms. We pride ourselves on high quality RP, via our off-site forum. From land redistribution to marriages, from wars to pandemics, it is RP’d to which you feel as if you were there. Take this beautifully written post, “…It was 2:30AM and the lady of the hour was to show up any minute. The Club-1 was scheduled to leave harbour at 3:45AM. Some commotion permeated through the fog and suddenly passing in front of a bright harbour light, a thin, shapely, silhouette sauntered past a bright light which was drowned out by the fog. The silhouette was nothing more than an ultra-thin black line, swaying it's hips as if in slow-motion. All movement stopped on the platform outside the Sea Club-I and all eyes sat still, unshaken off of the Nation's more powerful woman, if not most powerful person. As the silhouette got closer, her shapely body began to fill the lit fog. Her legs gleamed white. The black began to fade as she approached revealing something magnificent. Mrs. Orsova Milescu's breasts poured out of her loosened red military-style buttoned shirt. Her cap perfectly still and flat on her well-groomed hair which was pulled back into a bun. Her make-up immaculate, her face? Expressionless. There, under the fog-ridden lights of the harbour was Orsova, standing in the rigid temperatures of a Novistradian winter." I feel as if I'm there, experiencing the sights, environment, and sense of the time. The harsh temperature of the Novistradian winter. Doesn't this make you want to read more‽ Don’t make a hasty decision and join some region that only want’s you for their population statistics. Or because of superficial promises made to you. Choose a region that wants you as a person, not for your number. Choose a region that give’s it their all to create a close to perfect environment for intellectual though and debate. Choose a region that is a family, leaning on one another when needed. Out of NS’ 14,638 regions, only one stands out and fits those qualities, in my humble opinion. The Grand Union, out of many, one. Your future neighbour, [insert name (RP or RL)] |

Because the Mods changed the telegram system, whereas only the first line of the message shows, that message should be catchy and causes the person to want to open the message. Remember, we are competing with all other regions. |
