Warden Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Just to chime in briefly. The large orgs always have advantages in terms of visibility and thus recruitment - and of course there are other advantages such as manpower. While on first glance it may seem like a "bottleneck" and problematic for smaller orgs, I think it's fine, really. Not everyone goes for the large ones, or in other words, not everyone can join the same select large orgs. There are differences in the end such as themes covered and whatnot - or people simply like larger or smaller orgs and thus look around more. Despite large ones there will be no monopoly, in essence. You can also do your part by being different or unique in the themes you cover and how you present yourself. To summarize: Not all join the first org they see (no matter how small or large), some compare, some don't, smaller orgs can still compete in other areas if not manpower.

To summarize: Not all join the first org they see (no matter how small or large), some compare, some don't, smaller orgs can still compete in other areas if not manpower. Going on this, the list is going to fluctuate. I don't expect BOO to be up in the top 5 after a few months if we keep getting more and more groups from other games coming. It also comes down to recruitment practices, whether they are strict or lenient in their vetting process'. For instance, I've declined close to 25 applications the past 2 or 3 weeks due to them submitting garbage applications, or not responding when I ask them for a Discord interview. Point is, what currently is won't always be. New orgs will come, old ones will die, some will stay where they are. And there is a place for all newcomers to find their own niche in this community among those various communities whether they start their own or join one. Why not start your own and try something different? Anasasi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still the large orgs are like 10, and if some small want to become large, it's not easy now the larger orgs have more visibility. You need to create your org in the forum and declare: 'I want to create a large org but different, all the brilliant folks come with me...' Damn, you'd look like a fool.

Warden Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Be smart about it then. And sometimes you just need luck or good timing. Or friends for a foundation. Sometimes you are just out of luck. That is how it is. And hey. You don't get far (after release)? Disband or merge and join another moderate one or look for those willing to merge into yours. No use struggling when you are not satisfied while alternatives are there. But let's outsource this discussion. I'll make a thread about it later when I can. Half a day from now on.

Anasasi Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 @Warden - Thanks for deciding to outsource the discussion on this thread, don't get me wrong, I do not mind it, I just don't want the thread to run away into something I had no intentions of it being. As for today, late night spreadsheets and charts! Losses and nearly no growth today - pretty bizarre, seeing a downwards trend now. Whether that's due to a downwards trend in members joining or whether more orgs are popping up that are smaller than the bottom end, we'll see. Anyway, charts below as always.Have a good day/night/morning/evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anasasi Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 Todays charts, slow weekend again. Not much growth, Terran Union gaining the most in the last 24 hours. Not much more to say really, charts speak for themselves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonis Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 We're now merely waiting for the KS to hit the 500k. I believe it will reach 600k at last. Anasasi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anasasi Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 4th of October, 2016.Todays charts! Some movement is still holding steady within the top ten - Top five holding the most movement within the group. Anyway, here are the charts!

Anasasi Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 5th of October, 2016. Quick update today, Terran Union still powering through the charts - soon to reach first organization with 200 members, if the trend continues. I will be fixing data gaps and errors soon, I know of a few that are there, numbers that don't match, but I know why! Will be fixed shortly. Anyway, charts below as usual!

Anasasi Posted October 6, 2016 Author Share Posted October 6, 2016 6th of October, 2016. Todays charts include new movement! Which is a little better than recent movements - Top five have moved the most again! Anyway, charts below! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anasasi Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 7th of October, 2016. Things have starting picking up again with several orgs gaining members! Though not huge jumps, seeing more influx means more active members! Anyway, here are the charts: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anasasi Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 8th of October, 2016.Well, to start with, I would like to congratulate NovaQuark on their successful Kickstarter campaign, I had to personally pull my pledge, but I'm ecstatic that so many other people could help get this game up on to its feet. A true accomplishment in the development process. Now we play the waiting game (or other games to pass time, I guess).Looking forward to the progress that gets made over the next few months! As for the charts; Terran union has shot up today, accepting 12 members. Closing in on the 200 member mark. Other members of the top ten have seen their usual steady growth - 1 - 5 members each. Anyway, charts below as per usual! Edit**: Posted wrong images/links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anasasi Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 9th of October, 2016. Terran Union still pushing for the two hundred mark strong, while SilverLight and Band Of Outlaws are making their way upwards as well. All top ten Organizations saw some form of growth today, bar a couple. Anyway, onto the late charts! (Sorry). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anasasi Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 10th of October, 2016. Congratulations Terran Union for being the first organization to reach two hundred members! With many larger organizations gaining members over the past couple days, the top tens numbers are starting to grow considerably again, this is good! Though don't forget to check out the groups that are smaller, they might offer something that these large groups can't for you. Anyway, todays charts below!

Anasasi Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 11th of October, 2016. Todays charts show more growth than yesterday, but also show that the groups within the top 5 - 6 are really trying to grow. SilverLight had 100 members today, I congratulated them and then I checked later in the evening and I had to pull the charts back to 99. Which is unfortunate, but people are still figuring out what they are trying to do! Anyway, here are the charts for today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anasasi Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 12th of October, 2016.Well, the numbers are still growing after the success of the kickstarter. The top ten has regaining its vitality and is growing consistently over days now. Hopefully the moment stays the same, in an upwards fashion!I have some extra stats for you today!Forum Stats: August [incomplete sample]: Average daily member sign up: 19 Average daily posts: 157September [Complete sample]: Average daily member sign up: 31Average daily posts: 250So, since the kickstarter, we've had more posts and more signups popping up!Even though the sample was unfinished for August, the growth wasn't all that great that month. Anyway, charts below! Fixed:- A colouring issue- Top ten orgs that were dropped are now being known as 'ex-top ten' in the daily contribution graph (still to fix the numbers).

Anasasi Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 13th of October, 2016. Todays charts show a drop in the gains that have been happening early during this past week, infact, some organizations have lost members. Only four members gained overall with two members dropping (possibly shuffling within the ten), with that being said it was due to quieten down a little as now we wait! Anyway, as per usual, charts below! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nostromo Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Some interesting stats! Maybe one day The Brethren will be up on that board. Thanks for taking the time to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimReaper Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I know this isn't entirely related to the topic, but I didn't think it warranted a new thread either. I imagine many of the top organizations may have employed similar tactics, making it relevant to this thread Is there any way to block the organization spam that occurs in private messages?

Unfortunately, beyond blocking the member from messaging you, I don't think there is a way, no. I'm not a real fan of the blocking method either, but you got to do, what you got to do!
