Not So Tough

[HateTheFake]

There was another thread somewhere that was talking about doing a farm team. I talked with the tough caps and were gonna do the same. I think if every squad did this it could help boost newer players, and let them feel some competition. Lets be honest most people here all had that first noob squad and taught them a few things. Toughs farm squad is gonna be called Not So Tough, everyone should try doing something like this. I know penetrates usually good about recruiting newer players and teaching them to base. If everyone did it, I think not only will more people stay, but when your online you will have more options of people to play then the same old 4 squads. We had to play savanger yesterday 5 times cause noone else was on.

Why do a farm squad? Isn't it easier to just recruit the newbies into your real squad and increase the amount of active members and then let them play games with your real squad? Wouldnt this also make the newbies feel a lot better than being on a "farm squad" and make them try harder?

Should move all the players currently on the Tough roster down to the farm squad. Just an opinon though

Well the reason were gonna do a farm squad is because then we dont have to axe anyone. Not So Tough is gonna allow anyone to join, Kind of working it like baseball, anyone who does great there can go to tough and play during twl season.

Were gonna start this squad after twl, and when the next twl season comes our goal is to have 2 total squads, 1 squad geered towards helping newer people, and the other for competition.

Tough is already active with the 30 members we currently have. The newbies i dont think they will care at first about anything other then being on a squad were they can twd whenever/whoever they want. If they want to try harder they can possibly end up on tough. Not So Tough will probably have like 80 members. All Applications Accepted

I have experience with this. Just let me warn you: get ready for unnecessary drama.

I dont forsee too much problems, we got an ideal way of handeling this.

After Twl- Create Not So Tough
During off season- Recruit and train new players (note only a few tough players will be helping with this squad)

- Try to establish newer players to become assistants on the squad, and quite possibly become captains later

After Reset From Off Season- The original members and a few of the more established newer players with return to tough for the twl season. Hopefully a few of the other players will step up and want to run the Not So Tough squad or if that fails it can just come back during all off seasons.

You're going to kill the farm squad by taking its better players. If you're truly wanting to spawn off new squads, you should start them up and then withdraw, leaving the better players who weren't on Tough to begin with to teach the newer ones, not taking them with you.

True, we wont be taking everyone. Tough generally only keeps 30 ppl max, i think our highest moment was like 37 ppl. But hopefully when twl does start up everyone on the squad will know how to twd and will want to venture out and try other squads, after all not so tough is a starter squad and not all squads are dd oriented like tough.

I don't know of any plans for Tough to have a farm squad...And I'm on Tough...

Dant-Zu, I think people have "reputation" to worry about, that's why they won't recruit newbies, because all of the veterans would leave because of newbies getting onto the squad, but it IS a better plan if the vets didn't budge so easily to another squad. That's what would make a successful farm squad, stability.
