Alliance Introduction Do's & Don't's
The following 2 posts are examples of how you might like to introduce yourself or your Alliance. Remember that they are examples only, and don't try and contact me about recruitment please!
Some key hints:
- Make your post eyecatching - try using an image as a heading - does your alliance have a logo you could use?
- Make your post clear - use bold and underlining to mark different sections - but not too much or your post looks too busy.
- Remember to give contact details for people interested in joining you/offering you a place in their alliance.
- For players - include some detail about yourself, your Travian achievements and the kind of alliance you want - you really need to sell yourself - what makes YOU stand out?
- For alliances - make your requirements for membership clear and concise, and sell yourself - why should people join YOU?
- Sound as professional as you can - it sounds petty, but correct spelling and grammar will make your post seem more professional and make it easier to read and much more attractive.
- Don't be scared to have fun and be a little quirky - people want to see your personality or your alliance style, not just dry facts.
