Inviting Players into Competitive Play

[Cubey]

First let me say that I am not sure if this is against the rules. I know that recruiting is strictly prohibited on the server. However, this is not the server, not am I "recruiting" anyone into any group. I am simply inviting people into competitive 6 vs 6 play. Furthermore, I have checked the rules here, and there is no indication that I am violating server rules. I can help you get set up, show you how to play, and help put you on a team. Joining is completely free. 

 

If this topic is forbidden to discuss then may an admin delete it. 

 

Otherwise if this topic is allowed on the forum, and you are interested, you can add me me here. 

 

My question is, would it be possible to pay for some kind of advertisement so that your server members know? Anyone who plays on your server is invited to join. 

 

Bonus: There is a good chance that prizes will be awarded! If you are worried that, "I am new to this, I have no chance to win anything against more experienced players", then the way the system is set up is to allow anyone to win in the end. At the moment there is no prize system but in the past less experienced players have won prizes.  

 

Thank you very much, and may Reason bless you,

To put some clarifications here for you. I spoke with Capt. Samuels about it and we have decided that:

 

You can try to get people to join the competitive side if they want by leaving an informative post on our forums (this one will suffice). You may not self advertise people to join specific groups, and you may not advertise joining of groups on our server. Again you can advertise about the competitive leagues/matches/gameplay but not specific groups or ask them to join groups. If it is causing us to lose enlistments, we reserve the right to disallow advertising of any kind for this at any point. We will not put up advertisements on the server for you.

 

To protect yourself and prevent any sort of misunderstandings I’d recommend not trying to advertise on the public server. If people come to you with interest about competitive play you can direct them to this post on our forums. It’s a bit of a gray area and I’d like to avoid any issues moving forward. Thanks.
