I would consider creating a "Country Communications Officer" position within each country (or region for groups of smaller countries) or instead giving the GMs more power.

This empowered person would receive or be able to access reports that would list all Managers from their countries (or regions) and categorise them into length of time in the game & also last log in dates.

Most importantly they would get notifications of new Managers who have just created teams

They would then be responsible for communicating with these new starters in the game;

Perhaps hook them up to a mentor
Encourage them to get involved in forums or game chat
Send them a list of resources or links that they can access to get help and an understanding with the game
Give them details and understandings of their National U21s team and National team
Highlight potential forums of interest

The idea behind this is that if we could get a higher percentage of new starters "addicted" to the game, then we wont lose so many of them and can actually start building numbers in the game instead of losing numbers

Sounds like a lot of extra work for the GMs but If I were a GM I'd be glad to do this. Another option that may be easier though, would be to send out an automatic bbmail to all new users with information like that. Seems less time consuming and provides new players with the same information needed.

Long time since I first started this game, but from memory there was an automated "check off task list" that new players were confronted with.

Id still continue with that but I thought that having a communications officer in each country would be a lot more personal and probably because of this a lot more effective at retaining new players to the game

The community will do all these stuff once the newbie finds the forum. Except if the new manager doesn't care about the game at all or being totally anti-social. In that case, the CCO/GM and his messages, advices will be ignored as well.

This is great.

Were you able to customise this automatic message?

Would be great if such a automatic message could be customised to include contact details of potential mentors, threads of national interest etc
I would like this set up to occur for all countries and perhaps a GM could oversee several smaller nations and could have the same automated messages to new starters from those smaller nation

I tend to agree with a previous post in another thread that suggested that Managers from smaller countries should play in regions made up of several smaller nations.

it would be great if they could all retain their individual National team flags whilst playing for these composite regions


also

Why cant an automatic reminder message be set up to go to a persons home email address, when they have logged on for a few weeks?

As far as I know, a mail is sent to people when they are close to lose their team due to inaction.

Well if they are not logging in its no good sending someone a bbmail, it needs to be an email

I didn't say BB-Mail.

Apologies then. If they are sending emails out then this is a good thing.

If they are not then this is something that could be introduced that would help the game

This is great that newstarters to the game in big countries get an automatic message from their countries GMs, however it would be great and arguably more important if the new starters in the tiny countries that are struggling for numbers could also got personalised messages.

What do you think?
