Title: [PR] Recruitment banner contest:
Post by: Octiovus on August 08, 2006, 05:32:40 pm
Over the past few months we have made an amazing recovery, we have turned the guild around from a mere 60 members according to MyUO and now we have returned to well over 150 members, taking 3rd place in the veteran member rankings. This is excellent news, and I commend everyone for their efforts!

Nevertheless we cannot afford to let our efforts slip. With a bit of elbow grease we can make this the biggest and best summer period ever - I would like to see an effort to break our previous 180 member record. Of course this is easier said than done, and in addition to our traditional recruitment on Europa I would like people to carry out regular recruitment trips (either lone, or as a group) at off-peak times to other shards as in these examples:

The contest:

*To see who can create the largest, most-eye catching, and generally most creative banner.

The rules:

*May be on any shard (Although must be recruiting for the BoC, of course!)
*Only two entries per person.
*The winner shall be decided via a poll on the OOC forums.
*No obstructive banners (i.e placing crates all across a bridge) or in game spamming.

The reward:

*The winner of this contest will receive a mystery prize!

So get out there, and get creating chaps and chapesses! Let's show the world what BoC can do.

Right then ladies and gents, here is my attempt at a small banner campaign.

Completed on the Atlantic shard, depriving me of about 3 hours of my life... Here is the finished article.

Sadly I cannot get a bigger picture, but most of it is visible. Enjoy!

I think that newb character must have got to GM inscription by the time I finished, and a lot of people were asking about BoC! I am to complete my invasion by Pwning the Moonglow bank area on the server, but we will save that for another time.

Now you see... generally it would be wise to wait a few days before contributing like this as it generally gives people a "damn I am not even bother to surpass that!" feeling. Heh, like it did with me. When I read the first post I thought "hah, when I get home I am gonna win this easily!". Now, I am not so sure... :S

But as soon as I got some free time, I shall try!

This may not win the contest! (The other entries are pretty damn impressive.) But I still had a lot of fun putting this right in West Britain Bank on Europa with my OOC char. It may not be flashy or clever, but I'm damn proud of it!

BoC Rules!

For quite a while, no one actually touched it, but a lot of people looked at it. Got a lot of exposure and questions asked!

"What's BoC?"

"The greatest guild on Europa!"
