i have many ideas =) and i never left XG i was just inactive (had my box stolen at gun point) =)
i am back now and i believe 007 is working on where to put me =)
first things first, we dont want to call the other community's "crappy" there are successful community's out there and i would honestly say they learned from us but most community's prefer to be bossy!
Many community's out there dont offer what XG does offer.
You need to be honest with them and explain to them what we do offer. best thing to do is if your talking to a possible recruit have your PC or laptop ready and read off some of the things we do and what cool events we do, and another thing to toss in there is let them know how big we are and how many clans we have (that will make there eyes be like "wow") and since i see that your in SYN you may want to tell them about XGC, KoG, XGG (if the possible recruit is female) SYN may not be there branch.
You need to explain to them that they also can just sign up to the web-site and see for them selves what they will be looking at. if they like then you just got your self a recruit. i was a recruit freak but i did get alot of turn downs but i gained more then lost.
also keep in mind, when i did alot of recruiting and told them about XG they assumed they had to be bad *** to be in the clan (like most community's out there they wont let you in less your good) XG excepts any kind of player, even if they really suck at the game. thats were they can come to us and improve there game play. i actually had a recruit that joined XG and was very horrible at halo2, he got help from alot of XG members and ended up going to MLG's.
if you need any help on anything else then hit my profile up. =)
