So after a good trolling of every team forum I can think of...I realized that neither general has made any real effort to recruit. Either it's all done by phone or email now, or some of these younger, newer generals need some schooling as to how it's done. I'm not trying to be a jerk...but in my day, we would flood the forum and website of every team within a 100 mile radius trying to get people to play for us. It's not just recruiting, the games are being run differently in the CP now as well.
I know I'm not as old as Trapper and Big T and VooDoo and Chowda...but things have DEFINITELY changed since the days when I was a constant fixture in the CP. Nothing wrong with you newer guys, you got tons of enthusiasm...I just think things have changed some. I will admit I had a huge advantage in that I was taught how to general in a way. I spent about a year and change constantly in the CP in some fashion. During this time, I had guys like Coyote, Trapper, Chowda, VooDoo, Spudcrazy,all these guys that have been there done that, sharing some of their precious knowledge. It helped a LOT.
I'm not knocking anyone who has generalled recently. You ALL have my utmost respect and sincere admiration. It's a tough, unforgiving job, and not for everyone. I bow down to each of you, you all kick a$$. I just think things have changed a bit, no one's willing to show how it's done anymore. That being said....
I'm seriously pondering dropping some knowledge on some of you youngins in the future...the future hopefully being the September RAW game. Waddya say, Ronn and Don? Are you guys willing to let me do my thing one more time?
Sorry to interrupt. You may now return to your regularly scheduled trash talk.
