Foreign Recruitment Spam

[Louisistan]

First of all Aersoldorf, if this is at all out of bounds, please give me a heads up. And please don't use a baseball bat to do it

So, there it is, here we go. It has been pointed out that the regular recruitment spam thread is just for posting XKI recruitment messages, which is fine. But, seeing that not everyone in the region has turned off recruitment TGs and also noting that XKI is the best region ever_{#allhailthegrub} and, seriously, no one would want to leave this island paradise, I think it would be fun to post the various recruitment messages we receive here.

Some rules: In order to avoid mass fleeing of the region (lol) replace nation and region names. Of course everyone is free to guess the region from which the TGs originate.

Unfortunately the one I "accidentally" posted in the other thread is already deleted, so I'll leave the start to someone else

Commence the spam!

[Louisistan]

Coryo,Yupp, that's the one I got as well.

[Coryo]

You must be a World Assembly member to get that recruitment spam.

[Louisistan]

Well, since they obviously try to recruit raiders that stands to reason

[Coryo]

The Delegate probably wants a great deal of influence. Once nations are recruited, the delegate will probably ask for endorsements right away.

[Louisistan]

There is a whole thread in the NS Gameplay forum dedicated to that guy who sent the TG. Also there was a failed attempt at an SC condemnation recently.

[Coryo]

He must be very notorious.

[Louisistan]

I have no idea. I only recently got into the whole R/D Gameplay and SC thing. ^^

[Coryo]

I mean, if there's a link that is all about him, then he's notorious.

[Louisistan]

Ah, well, no. He opened the thread to post a longwinded apology and offer his assistance in region building. I think it went minor flamewar from then.

[Coryo]

Ah, okay. Best to avoid flamewars in NS forum as much as possible.

[Aersoldorf]

But flamethrowers come in handy when trying to repel a barbaric invading horde or if you need to roast an entire camel in 30 seconds.

Try roasting a rhino in 30 seconds.

[Aersoldorf]

We don't have a rhino on the forum, but we do have a couple of camels...

Greetings, fellow nation.

First of all, thank you for not blocking recruitment telegrams. It is always refreshing to find someone with an open mind, and willing to try new things.

I represent a region called REGION, an up-and-coming player in the political landscape of NationStates. We are always looking for new talent; and friend, you're it.

REGION is an active combatant.
Raiding and defending, or R/D, is how combat is handled in NationStates. When you join our forum, you can quickly jump right in and learn how to take part in our wars. Our training is all hands-on, and you will not be chastised for making mistakes: mistakes are just an opportunity to learn something new. If you are already familiar with the workings of R/D, of course, then you're welcome to come help with showing newbies the ropes.

If we're not engaged in an operation, we're in the process of planning one, so you will never be bored in our military.

REGION is a role-player.
Our regional RP, also hosted on our forum, is open to anyone willing to join. Membership is restricted to an easy-to-join Roleplayers Guild, and after signing up you're free to jump in as soon as you make a little factbook containing things like character bios and such. The RP depends on having lots of people in it to stay active, though, so don't feel discouraged if it seems a little quiet when you get there.

REGION provides opportunities for advancement.
We are always looking for new ways to reward skilled members. Just because all positions are taken by the time you get here doesn't mean there won't be new openings, whether through making new positions or replacing someone in an existing one.

REGION maintains an active community.
We take great pains to make sure all our members are active, productive, and knowledgeable. On our forum, a corps of mentors is ready and willing to help you get established. Our school, The Univerisity of THISMIGHTBEAHINT, has instructors, classes, and a small library of assorted guides to teach you what NationStates is really about, as well as the skills you need to succeed in this game.

REGION has no dead weight.
As you are no doubt aware, REGION is far from the largest region out there. What you may also be aware of is that in NationStates, numbers are cheap. One player can make as many nations as he pleases without penalty, to say nothing of the many inactive players littering the larger regions. REGION is the one region in the game that practices hygiene in this respect. There are neither puppet hordes nor inactive players here. Our Inquisition seeks out inactive nations, encouraging them to get active or leave, or else remove them from the region by force. It is our desired goal that when you look at our region's population count, you are looking at the number of folks in our community. It is, as you might imagine, a neverending task.

To join REGION, simply follow these steps:
1. Click the button at the bottom of this telegram that says "Move [your nation] to REGION."
2. Go to our forum (LINK), sign up, and enlist for THISMIGHTBEANOTHERHINT.
3. Go do stuff, or ask around if you're feeling lost.

If you have any questions, just reply to this message and I will respond ASAP.

Regards,
NATION

Greetings East Marbury,
Hello my name is NATION; I am the founder and the enacting Minister of Customs and Immigration of REGION. We accept all and treat all fairly we are welcome to all new members of any background or beliefs! I apologize for bothering you, as I'm fully aware of how annoying recruitment telegrams are (especially ones of this length). However, if you bear with me, I will do my best to ensure you are not disappointed by reading this.
Are you tired of being overlooked and marginalized by the leaders of the “super regions”? Overwhelmed by the mass of activity, unsure of what to do or where to start? Do you want to have a say and make an impact on your region, but no one gives you the time of day? You want to get involved but the region is too impersonal. It feels like you are just another number to them, a way for regional leaders, who never talk to you, to obtain more power for themselves. Or maybe you are in a small pond where it seems like you are the only fish swimming? You want to have some fun and interact with others but no one is ever around. Do you want to find a group of friends?
Then come check out REGION! A new region with unlimited potential. A blank canvas waiting on you, and others like you, to create something grand and wonderful! With an active founder who protects the region from invaders, keeps the peace, and ensures that the voice of the members is heard and their will carried out but otherwise stays out of the way. Where the Delegate and other leaders have real power and elections are held often.
REGION is a young region full of potential. Whether you're a military mastermind, a scheming politician, a media mogul or simply a spamaholic, we have something for everyone (and a bit more.) We hold free and fair elections for countless different political offices and you could have a chance to become big in REGION and really help out with its future and creating a region to last through the future. I can honestly say that it's one of the best regions I've been to, where everyone has a chance to join in and become part of an ever more close-knit community.
Come be a part of a family, our family! And let your voice be heard! So, if you are ready to make the first step in being a great leader by moving to REGION, all you have to do is click the link at the bottom of this telegram that says "Move East Marbury to REGION"
If you have any questions about our region please send a telegram to NATION and you will be promptly responded to.
Sincerely,
NATION

I got a few... With added comments on the telegram with the comment marked in (this), the only thing i have not marked is the forum link...

Tratset,
First of all, I'd like to welcome you to NationStates. My name is NATION, and I've been playing this game since 2004. I wouldn't stick around if I didn't like it! It's always amazed me how such a simple browser game can be so enthralling. My favorite part of NationStates, however, has to be the region of REGION, where my nation resides. I'd like to invite you to join REGION!
Now I'm sure you're getting tons of these recruitment telegrams right now, and you're probably asking yourself two things. "What makes your region so special?" and "How do I turn these annoying messages off?" Well, I'll answer the first question first.
REGION was founded in 2007 - a very old region (old? Thats not OLD), by NationStates standards, filled with some very old nations (old nations? i think old nations are 20 billion+). Despite our age, though, we're always looking for new nations to help us grow and contribute to our community! There's tons of stuff to do in REGION, as well.
One thing that we pride ourselves on is our writing community. Do you like to write? If so, on our forums (http://forum.REGION.org), you can post in our REGION worldbuilding community. It's a small, but active, character-centric collaborative fiction experience. You can set stories in your nation, describe how its government functions, what its culture is like (thats why you have factbooks, right?), or basically anything else you'd like to write about! We're always looking for new members, and don't worry if you think you're not the best writer in the world, because we're always critiquing each other and trying to improve our own pieces and everyone else's.
REGION also has a vibrant social community, where you can discuss anything and everything that tickles your fancy. Join our forums (http://forum.REGION.org), and post about books, movies, video games, politics, or anything else you'd like to discuss! We're friendly, if a bit snarky, and thrive on input. You could also join our IRC channel by clicking on the link below "introductions" on the forums and chat with us there!
REGION has a directly democratic system of government, where anyone who is a citizen (i guess citizen needs WA Membership) can propose legislation, vote on it, or run for public office! What sort of legislation would you like to propose? That's all up to you, and once you propose it every other citizen we have can comment on it and help you draft the bill! (This is WA but on their forum)
If you're looking for a region that will give you a community of friendly people to talk to, skilled writers to practice with, and a legislature open to anyone, then click the button on the bottom of this telegram marked "Move Tratset to REGION. I hope to see you there soon!
Oh, and if you want to stop getting all these recruitment telegrams, just go to the "Settings" button on the left of the screen, click it, then scroll down to where it says "Telegram preferences". From here you can block some, most, or all recruitment telegrams sent to you, depending on which setting you prefer.
Sincerely,
The Full Name of NATION
