Well, I have a little suggestion to crank up your recruitment, yet still bring in quality (mature) members. I know you guys hate focusing on skill, but the majority of people want to play this game with others in order to improve. After all, that's what a game is all about. Don't get me wrong; chilling with other people is great, but it's not necessarily a priority in the mindset of gamers. My suggestion is to focus a
tad bit on gameplay. Maybe in your clan information paragraph (found here"
viewforum.php?f=5), add something like "the fact that we're one of the most skilled clans our there is just a bonus." Then in your recruitment policy, make it a requirement to attach a screenshot of something simple, say 100 kills. This way, you'll appeal to a much broader audience.
The way I see it, there are definitely mature players who like have fun and pwn nubs at the same time, and at the moment, one of their needs isn't being fulfilled.
In conclusion: would it really hurt to bring in 6 or 7 mature, skilled players that can bring this clan back to its previous glory?
