Intro Email for New Members

Hey, all. I think it'd be a good idea to put together an intro email for new members (and even current ones) pointing them to the blog and spelling out some of the more important things about the group. I'd type a copy into the game, then forward a copy to each member of the group. When you recruit somebody, you can then just forward it on to them. Here's what I've come up with:


Subject: Welcome to Team Evil!

Hi! We're glad you decided to join us in the fight for oppression and injustice. This is a form email we send out to all new members with some information about our group. Sorry for the poor line breaks, but the client email system doesn't handle them well -- a better formatted copy can be found on the group blog.

The group blog is located at http://covteamevil.blogspot.com. All event info will be posted there. Additionally, our group policies are up at that location, so please check them out when you get a chance.

All new members are on a one week probationary period. We ask that you play your character enough during this week for us to get to know you and you to get to know us. After the week is up, you will be promoted to a full member (Slacker rank), and you are expected to play your character at least once every 45 days or be removed for inactivity.

The promotions beyond Slacker are outlined in the group policies. Higher ranks are expected to play their characters at least once every 15 days or be demoted.

While playing in SG mode, you will earn prestige for the group, which is used to build our base. There is no penalty for playing in SG mode until level 25, so we ask all members to activate SG mode from levels 1-24. Playing in SG mode at 25+ is encouraged but not required.

We currently have a 3-characters-per-player limit on the main group, although due to size constraints we're asking people to voluntarily move alts into the alt group "Hidden Evil". Any number of alts can be added to the alt group. Alts should be registered on the blog by replying to the "List of Alts" post. Feel free to contact any of the higher ranks to add your alts to our group.

Feel free to contact an Evil Genius or Enforcer if you ever have any questions or concerns about the group.


Any thoughts?
