[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 5436233, member: 22779"] Having had my own problems building a group, I've found that being an absolute dick when signing on new players weeds out the worst of them. I'm very, very direct when advertising for new players on what I expect from them and what they can expect from me. Time management, typing speed, playstyle, game types, and all sorts of other things get put into my game ad's. New players get a three strike rule. Three absences without prior notice and they get the boot. We've got a wiki, a forum and email. There's absolutely no excuse for just not bothering to show up, so, I give three warnings and then the toss. Since I started being really nasty about screening new players, I've only had to eject one player. And, we've had rather good luck for some years now. Other than our infamous 5th seat which we just cannot, for some reason, fill for any length of time. :( [/QUOTE]
