It's the truth.
Were you the leader of the 15th Vistula?
Yes, I was. We had about 20-25 active members. I have a couple screenshots of it as well. The name was unique. There was nobody in NW who ever had a name like that. However, the 88y is clearly thought of because of how close it was to 77y. There is a difference.

40th is 2 numbers away from the 42nd, why would anyone want to join black watch wannabes.

Recruiting on servers would be a lot easier if every server didnt have a rule against recruiting
Your regiment's names is the 88y. I don't think people would want to join you in the first place.

British names are different considering there are alot less "good" names left. I took the 40th name because of their history at Waterloo along with the name itself. "40th" roles off the tongue nicely if I do say so myself. However, there are considerably less Russian regiment out there. So if someone takes the name "88y" it clearly tells me that they did not attempt to make themselves unique because of how close it is to "77y". Literally there are dozens of other Russian names out there to take.

Ah, British names are different, I would disagree, as you are simply basing your judgement on the name of the regiment and literally nothing else, you have no idea what the history of the 88y is, or why the leader chose that name. you ASSUME that he wanted to be like the 77y, just as easily as I may assume that you are trying to be like the 42nd. You don't know the person, and you don't know their regiment, so lay off. And even if you did, there is no reason to be a huge cock for no reason. Internet elitism isn't very cute.

Also Locust, I disagree, you may not know very well how the Imperial Russian Military worked back in the day, but almost all Infantry, Calvary and Artillery regiments were not numbered. So him picking a number in the counting system does not hint in any way he is affiliated with copying the 77y. He could have picked 44y, it does't make it anymore right, the regiments were separated by their provisions and battalions.

Yeah, that's a perfectly valid point Ody. But I still believe this guy is a 77y fan boy for taking a name so similar to 77y. Anyway, its clear this is going to become a bitch fight and I don't feel like getting warned by the Moderators-again. So lets agree to disagree.

God damn, your having a shit talking spree on a forum post about how to improve recruiting. Here's a plan, quit saying every other insult or mindset you have whether or not it's because you think a guys with the regiment named 88y or 42nd are people trying to be fan boys. If you just let it be what it is at face value which is a regiment with a name and a plan maybe that will help your recruitment automatically. HOLY SHIT, it's amazing isn't it? Just knowing if you stopped putting in your 2 cents everywhere makes a difference. Now lets stop this senseless argument or point validation about who's being a fan boy and who's just being a dick. Respect everyone and their decisions on their regiment, it's not yours anyways so stop caring so much.
