@nubnub...to give a better feeling for your statistics...you need another poll.
How fanatical do we belong to a faction:
You will have a core of some frenetic loyalists and a large part of potential turncoats that will run to join the clans when they appear. Some were between and of course there are some that are new to the game and decided for minior reasons.

With a weight of this (from 5 to 1 or similar) i expect that the potential weight of House Liao or the FRR will be stronger as those of other houses.
Me for my part: i'm obviously a fanatic - mabye in '56 it will change...but how knows.

Seriously, you guys should try and influence the forums a tad more. For instance, being active in the fan art section and making requests to get more sigs, cool camo repaints upon demand or make some, promo posters etc. would provide House Steiner with more visibility. Just my 2 cents worth.

P.S. 'cause the idea came from me, you can't ask me. It's an immunity thing... :-) Kidding aside, I am on a project right now but I did provide my share of Lyran repaints to date (see Damocles's thread).

This fist is shy, and needs constant bait to be used.

Sounds damn good to me. Race you there.

My AC/20 says that race will stall out long before any major Combine world is in danger.

I think ppl who know (i.e. have some knowledge about the BTU) don't want to join House Steiner because of their rather boring military, which features not enough "cool" units. Those who don't know...well...maybe they don't like blue fists.

Image conversion and re-upload for those who haven't been able to see it yet.










Also a link to the album in case the forum also dislikes GIF format.

Tiny bit of news.

Joined Davion because I wanted to be a bit of a white knight. After doing research on the houses (played MW 2 and 3 ages back) I think I found the one for me. Davion was going to be a swarm anyway. Clanners just don't ring with me.

Come up with points to make people want to join, not just the heavy mechs.

Hey, nubnub, you should also make a category for most popular members based on their ratio of posts-to-likes. Obviously you'd have to set a minimum post limit so you wouldn't keep getting people that only made one post but had 15 likes or some shenanigans like that, but something around 100 or more might accurately represent people that are active on the forums.

Recruiting for House Steiner has always been a problem. I've played a lot of Battletech over the last 20 years, & I've never met someone who played the Lyrans. What's the selling point? Assault mechs & Social Generals? Maybe if you posted more pictures of Melissa Steiner-Davion, that might help?

Why would anyone want to join steiner? Most of them can't hit an Overlord at 500 meters.

Now that is just mean!!!

Good sir, If you are wanting Numbers then why not Hire Us Mercs? My mates would love to join yea, but we need dem credits before we change anything to you guys. So what do you say wanna Hire us Lancers?

Thank you for your offer Morr, I will utilise your services in future.

Unfortunately the surveillance information on this is very premature but realignments are being investigated.

Fair point although knowing the top individuals for each would not help our house out. Alternatively, the average numbers per house could provide more insight:

This makes it quite clear that per post we are liked however per user we have the least likes (standardised) - so in this regard the House would benefit simply from more posts.

But to increase member numbers?

Nice work, Now is this from inception? I would be intrigued to see a month by month chart, and a break down of busiest time flow chart, maybe show those busy last 30 days. 4 hour increments of time windows, showing possible geographic, socio demographics, and nut jobs? Now there are those that have joined, and those that have not formally joined a faction, it would also be nice to have 2 charts giving the common reasons for A: Why you chose your faction. B: Why you have not chosen a faction., broken up into a pie.

I have gone through the Factions. The Mercs do seem to have a better handle on recruiting(they have always had a recruiting hall). I have a suggestion that may help. Ask the Devs to “PIN”at the “TOP” of every House Faction Talk “House Recruiting.”
Get the threads that are already formed pinned if possible.
There are great recruiters, and great threads no doubt, but a new guy cannot find them. I searched “recruiting” “Join”, I found little of help.
It would be there that you could state your cases for what your house stands for. Divergent factions within a house should work together for recruiting, or let a group do that. A new guy without BT experience asks,”What is BT? What Faction should I join? This is a chaotic place.” Like everyone, they will be looking for a place to roost, companions to roughhouse with, and someone to care enough to say,”Hi,” and to watch their back.
