Greetings and Salutations, My Fellow eAmericans and Ajay Gipper Hut:

With only four days to go before party president elections, anticipation is building up and activity is on the rise across most parties. Today, I am presenting the second part of my plans for the Socialist Freedom Party if I am elected to serve as the next party president. This is just another reason why I believe the SFP is "Bound for Glory".

SFP: BOUND FOR GLORY series
Part One: Ursa Fi!
Part Two: Revolutionary Recruiting
Part Three: Social and Free to Party

NEW PLAYERS

New players are the lifeblood of any party and any community as a whole. The infusion of new ideas, new thinking, and new "eyes" will help any party looking to end the monotony of "everyday party life". Sadly, the pool of people to choose from grows more shallow everyday. Furthermore, a lot of people view new players as new "hands" for party work. Even worse is the fact that many communities actually fear new members and view them as a "threat" to the status quo.

Now before you get all butt-hurt and think I am singling you or your party out personally; let me clarify that each and every party either has done this at least once in its existence or will do it in the future. It's just human nature. Now the question is: What will you do about it???

If elected, I have a clear plan of what I will lead SFP to do to safeguard against continuing this ill-fated thrend.

RECRUITMENT
As stated above, new players are the lifeblood of any gaming community. However, it is not enough to just find players in the eUSA community and try to convince them that your party is the best party to join. Any party will find out quickly that there is a shrinking number of people to choose from and that ultimately, this approach is doomed to fail.

A more effective way is to first recruit new players to the game and then to the party. Aramec spoke in detail about this technique when he was campaigning to be Country President and the idea has since embedded itself into my game psyche. As he said in his article, "It's Simple".

MORE PLAYERS = LARGER RECRUITMENT POOL = MORE "ACTIVE" PARTY MEMBERS = BETTER PARTY

As party president, I will assemble a team of party members to actively pursue bringing new PLAYERS to the eUSA. This group will then explain to these same players why they belong to the Socialist Freedom Party and why the SFP is be the best place to be. This new recruitment team will be lead by a new appointee to the party's Revolutionary Committee, Kooguy. The party once known for revolutionary ideas will be a major part of the revolution of recruitment.

But bringing new players into SFP is useless if there is nothing FUN for them to do when they get here. My next article will address this with ideas I have for bringing activity back to the party. Check back in two days for the completion of the SFP: BOUND FOR GLORY series and see why people will want to join the Socialist Freedom Party!

And on that note... I'm out!
