gamerDNA Spotlight – Recruitment Reels

Thursday, October 9th, 2008 | Fun Stuff, Spotlights, gamerDNA Life | Comments

Everyone knows that the backbone of any good group, clan, or guild is the recruitment process. Without a steady flow of new applicants, your group may be missing out!

One of the most inventive ways to invite recruitment is to create a video! Like the great propoganda videos of yester-year today’s modern artists use moving pictures to motivate, inspire, and recruit.

Up first we have a video from gamerDNA clan Blackwater ArmA, a clan that plays the highly realistic military shooter, ArmA (Armed Assault):

 
Up next we have a recruitment video for gamerDNA clan 31st Strike Division, a clan devoted to the anticipated Tom Clancy-themed RTS – EndWar (since when did Tom Clancy become a theme?).
 
 

 

Sometimes, people want to use a show of their skills a simple, but effective recruitment strategy – just as the Call of Duty 4 clan, TCAA, has done with this video (it really is just 9 minutes of gameplay):

 

 
Last, but certainly not least, the truly dedicated group leaders will put their reputations (and faces) on the line by putting their own image for all the world to see (with a bonus pirate hat and eyepatch).
 
Want to see what I mean? Check out this video from the interestingly named Warhammer Online guild, The Bipolar Pirates (bonus points to them for having a rocking song on their guild home page).
 

Got something that you think should spotlighted? Let us know!

gamerDNA Spotlight – Elite Assassin’s Legion

Monday, September 15th, 2008 | Spotlights | Comments

Finally! We’ve got another gamerDNA group spotlight. Last time we had an interview with Elilane, leader of the Fyredraek guild in World of Warcraft. This week, we’ve got a spotlight on a Call of Duty 4 clan on the Xbox 360 – Elite Assassin’s Legion. We’ve got the leader, Danpipster, here to talk about his clan.

gamerDNA: So why don’t you introduce yourself and your group – who are you, what is your group, what game does your group play?

Danpipster: Right, well, my gaming name is Danpipster, co leader of the EAL, which stands for Elite Assassin’s Legion. We are a CoD4 Clan on the Xbox 360.

gamerDNA: What motivated you to create your clan?

Danpipster: Well, having played on my own in ordinary ranked matches (online), it frustrated me to see how unorganised teams were. I thought, if only teamwork was used and everyone worked together we could really win games! Especially if we had a talented squad of players,which is something I am trying to build up, as the name suggests (Elite).

Communication is another factor. I noticed how in games I found that if I found a useful piece of information, such as enemy locations or something similar, if we were a team, we could share this information and really gain the edge over the enemy.

More after the jump….
