I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to post this recruitment video that I received from a player that was being actively recruited by The Few DFC. This player is an excellent stick and would have made a fine addition to their already impressive collection of “elite” sticks had he decided to join. The fact that he was invited to join their squad and his aversion to accepting the invitation came up on vox one early Sunday morning.
The way it all developed was as follows, the action was slow and we had not seen each other in the cartoon skies in quite some time so we tuned to each other and discussed a variety of topics related to Aces High and real life. Somehow he mentioned that The Few DFC had been trying to recruit him. I congratulated him on such a distinguished invitation and wished him luck in his new squad. He thanked me and then explained that he had declined the invitation. I inquired as to why and he was hesitant to say. I didn’t pry any further because I picked up a bit of uneasiness related to the subject. We moved on and chatted about a few other things then I had to log off and go play golf.
I received a PM on the boards later with the video below attached. He said that he felt like he had ignored my question about why he didn’t want to join The Few DFC and apologized. He explained that he was sending a PM to clear things up. He explained that he had been ready to join The Few DFC. On the day that he decided to join, he logged onto the BBS to send a PM and accept their invitation. When he logged on he noticed he had a message in his inbox. It was a lengthy message from The Few DFC promoting the squad. After singing the praises of their squad, the end of the message read as follows, “And if all of that did not convince you, here is an excellent recruiting video starring three of our most elite members. If you decline after seeing this, then you don’t have what it takes to be in The Few DFC.” I’ll just let you guys see what he saw…
