Epoch One Recruitment Drive (aka search for blood)

Attention All

We have some great competitors and have had some awesome rounds, but we need more bandits in r/gameofbands, and we haven't been recruiting.

If we want to get this Round started, and avoid waiting around in future, we are going to need to get active.

"BUT HOW????"

Simple. The same way as you all found your way here. We post threads about r/gameofbands in other subreddits.

So, post a thread about r/gameofbands in another subreddit now. Once you've posted it, link it in the comments below so the rest of the community can check it out and reply to any queries.

It's a new epoch and we need new blood. I'm done fighting werewolves.

Let's get vampiric.

Well whats the start date? Whenever I tell my friends about this they don't know if they can commit to something when they don't know when it is going to start.

I posted in http://www.reddit.com/r/writing/ this morning and I think I caught a few lyricists.

What do you guys need? I've thrown my name in at least twice for vocals, because that was what you said you needed. Wasn't placed, so I quit asking.. I can't do electronic tracks well, but I can do instrument tracks, vocals, and lyrics. Saw someone post over in r/redditjams about the sub and another one of the guys from there said he wasn't placed either.

I think we need to address this... Is there some way we can make sure we get everyone on a team? I'm OK with having two vocalists and turning something into a duet... Or having multiple people work on music or lyrics.

Well it does look like the recruiting efforts have some effect, there's been a large spike in singers after the r/singing post. Who do we need more of now?

Yea, it's had a massive effect. Thank you. The rest of the sub needs to get on board with this. We now need more in the lyrics and music categories.

The problem with setting a start date is that we don't know when numbers will be good enough. If I had said "we start in 2 days following the announcement of registration", we would have had to start with three teams. We're not going to do that.

I know it's frustrating, but it's better to wait until we have a good number of teams. It gets the subreddit buzzing, and it fires up the competition.

The reality is, even if we set clear start dates, people are going to flake. Remember, one function of the team consolidation period is to allow those who signed up early to pull out due to other commitments. Get your friends to sign up now, and if they can't commit by the consolidation phase, they can legitimately leave.
