INSA: International Newbie Support Alliance
Forums › Help & Strategy › INSA: International Newbie Support Alliance-
Disclaimer: First & foremost, I want to say that all credit for this concept goes to Nick & his mentor idea.
I realize Nick has been soliciting ideas for an in-game player mentor system to support new players. If when or even how this will be implemented is unknown.
This is meant as an immediate implementation & it gives us veteran’s another avenue of game play. When & if the in-game mentor idea is implemented this idea will either become obsolete or will enhance the mentor concept.
So in the meantime I thought I would throw this out & see how much support there would be.
I apologize in advance for the length, I tend to over-articulate sometimes; but I will try & use proper grammar, sentence & paragraph structure to make it as painless as possible.

Background: The idea of plane tickets actually started this ball rolling.
The thought of anyone being able to go anywhere at any time kind of scares me; so why not form global alliances so that if someone does leave their territory to wreak havoc in another area we could call on alliance members in their area to hit them at home.
Then the idea of a global alliance evolved after reading Nick’s mentor idea and further took form after reading a series of posts from FringeRath in Belial’s Frequently Asked Questions thread in Help & Strategy.
So why not form a global alliance specifically to defend new players & allow them to experience the game & get into the social aspect of it.
This is meant as an immediate implementation for Nick’s mentor concept. Again…if, when, how is the question.
-
Concept: So I talked to Belial who was immediately supportive of the idea. And you all know Belial; he will always be first in line for a ‘good cause’ fight, that’s what I love about him.
So together we started to come up with the concept of this alliance.
This is not intended as a means for vengeance or payback. This would be a diplomatic alliance that steps in & discourages excessive attacks on new players when they ask for an intervention. Alliance members will talk to local Capo’s if they’re not part of the alliance & if all else fails, will use force to send a message.
There has to be a threshold though; to play this game & honestly expect not to be attacked is completely irrational.
The secondary goal of this alliance is to provide an additional source for advice and pointers as the forums can arguably be a little intimidating to a new player.
-
Rationale: The social aspect of this game is what I believe keeps players into it. I’m sorry, take no offense, but if I wasn’t involved in the forums & didn’t have so many in-game friends to talk to, I would’ve lost interest a couple of months ago.
I think most of us can agree that the more players the better. So the alliance will be dedicated to getting players involved early & defending them against bullies; this will inarguably result in more regulars.
Support: Belial sent out some feelers to a number of players last night & everyone has been very positive of this idea thus far.
Many top mobs are in support of this as it benefits game play.
Anyone is welcome to join (not just top mobs) although it helps to be a strong player.

Mission Statement: INSA: International Newbie Support Alliance
This alliance is dedicated to protecting the newbie turfers throughout the world. Our goal is to ensure that newbies receive both help & support whenever & wherever they need it. This alliance will work with local Capos & veterans to give newbies as enjoyable an experience as possible. We also hope that this alliance will somehow become a great resource to the mentor program if & when it is implemented. -
Implementation: The initial thought for implementing this support system is to create a thread in Help & Strategy which hopefully Nick will sticky.
In this thread, anyone willing to support the cause will leave a post in the thread & detail where you have influence so that a new player could look in the thread, find the alliance member in their area & be able to contact them.
The tough part is going to be directing players to the thread. I think most of us know our respective areas & know when someone new pops up….& I know people are posting code lists all over the place. So if you come across a new player (less than level 25?) simply post a small line advertising the support thread.
Thoughts??: Everything is debatable. The alliance name is just an idea.What do you all think?

Absolutely!! It would be great to have players at all levels.Would I be considered strong enough, and would one turf capture be ok?
Say for example a new player is being smothered by someone with a 500 person mob, I would rather see a 1500 person mob step in than a 3500 person mob as convincing as that may be.

Thanks Nick, I'm glad that you approve.
Is everyone interested in joining this cause ok with the name?

NSA or INSA...what's funny is that when you say them outload, you can speak them the same...in-sa. I was hoping for something that rolls off the tongue better...but I can't think of anything just yet.

WRATH: Western Region Association of Turf Huggers---hahaha!

Is it okay to advise them to remove Thuglife? LOL...j/k

Ok, I think we're going with the NSA: Newbie Support Alliance.
One final thought about this alliance. We want as many experienced players as possible to be able to cover as much territory as we can...
So with that said, being a member of this alliance in no way allies you with any other member of this alliance; so, you can be a part of this even if someone you hate or are at war with is a also a member.
By joining the NSA you are simply committing your support to defend & advise any & all newbies you encounter in reach of your influence.

How did I not see this till now?
Where was the heads up? ;)
Well duh, you know I'm in.I'm mostly in Southern California. Also in Nevada. I can reach as far east as part of Texas and as far north as...whichever part of Canada is on the west...Ontario?? Haha...I have no idea.
-
Doh! I meant BC & Alberta, just couldn't think of the names.

I said it on the other thread aswell. Our alliance fully shares the same ideals. We fully support this effort. And look forward to potentially merge efforts in the near future.
-
I posted on here yesterday. I guess it didn't go through. Either way the syndicate is in full support of this and will be happy to assist. This is what we were created for.
