I must honestly say I find your lack of effort in your recruitment thread and overall forum presence a bit disappointing, your recruitment thread is literally a mix out of RP and ooRP replies, I think you should really let a moderator work over that, it makes you look low tier in my opinion. As I stated in some other thread before (not related to you as far as I know) I think that if you want to be attractive to players that think about joining you, you should make your pages appealing to read. If I go to an info page I always think "How could a real (insert faction theme, for example, intelligence agency) make their recruitment pages look like? And if it blends in, I am impressed and have fun reading it, it shows effort and that you care for a faction. So if you want an advice by a bbcode lover like me, use it, you won't regret it and trust me, finishing a long page of RP with much code that makes it look good, feels very nice. Otherwise, never heard so bad stuff about you so I would say, keep it up.
Someone should recruit the new people too. I think that an unofficial faction is perfect for people who can't RP yet, making it easier for them to learn. Another BW's faction, the 13th Fleet, helped me learn some basics. When it became too basic for me, I left it and joined the BRF| and then the BAF|. In my opinion, every House should have a beginner faction which helps you get around, and an official faction, which you join when you do get around and the beginner faction becomes too tight for you.
I approve when anyone helps newbies. The GRN| don't seem to like it a lot and I'm too busy doing it in Bretonia, so Gallia really needs such a figure. Kudos for this, @Royal Navy Foreign Legion.

I agree with your message, but an unofficial faction should not attract new players by giving them a free gunboat, for example, if you need recruits like that then it means that something is not as it should be, also, people who join to get a certain ship tend to not do it for the RP, so it might get abused. Sure, Gallia can always need more people to play in, I still think effort and dedication should be there, it's not like RN is a total newbie faction, Widow is here longer than many people and should know a few quirks to make stuff look good and appealing to play, remember, it all starts with an info page.
RN: Hey stranger. You're new here?
Newbie Trent: A-ha.
RN: Let me see your card,
*Trent gives both his GRN and Kishiro IDs from his Annapurna*
RN: Well, I work for the Gallic Royal Navy. We may not own this place, but we do have a sizeable stake in running it. We can offer you a free gunboat. Interested?
Newbie Trent: Fine.
RN: That's great. You won't regret it. *gives the GB*
Oh Mon Dieu, seems I forgot to tell you... You need to RP in order to keep it...

Nice trap to get the newbies to learn how to RP
Hey all thanks for your input, I will reply with a more detailed response later as I have to go to work now. Speak soon. BW
Thanks for letting us group before attacking. Sorry for the LNS that came in the middle of the battle, but we didn't call them. The other half of your fleet that docked was lucky, because otherwise they'd have been ganked.
And if 5th|LNS-Odyssey reads this, kudos for not coming to gank after we said we didn't need help.
