A way to get numbers up for FC?

[Barry Soap]

Recently, I thought of a method which might get a lot of recruits for FC. I have been recruiting for Osiris in one way, and it seems to work effectively. This method may be frowned upon by certain members, but here is the basic idea of it:

• Go into Big Team Battle, and wait for the lobby to fill.
• This should be indicated by 15 boxes with the message 'INCOMING'.
• Back out before the game starts.
• Rinse and repeat until your 'recent players' list is full.
• Send a message to all of these players at once, explaing FC and how it works.
• This can be repeated in any gametype, but Big Team Battle will allow members to send out more messages in a shorter amount of time.

If this event, maybe called 'recruitment day' happens on a particular day, on a weekly basis, we could have a lot of members coming in through the week.

Say, for example, we have 60 people on this day all following this procedure for recruitment. This is in the region of 55 messages per 10 minutes for each member. This comes to around 19800 messages being sent out every hour, or 59400 messages every 3 hours. The only thing to be decided is what day to run this event every week.

I would appreciate any advice, opinions or suggestions. Thanks!
