Onoma - read the bottom of the screenshot and then get back to me.

Alright, sorry, it was late and I was tired xD no need to be rude

The Big Poaching Challenge!

• First step, try to poach the following players:
  
  • rakleader
    
  • ACL Tears
    
  • INSIDE
    
  • tartan1314
  I think they are both very talented players and worth a try, so good luck ;)
  
  
• Next challenge step is try to poach a player from Outlaws (or from other good managed elite clans)
  
  
• Last challenge step, try to poach MH Mike ;)

Ekstone!

Please leave ONE! and join me at Lynx!

Btw, how did you find my list of "Players to Poach"? :O

Actually, try to poach me, that's probably the toughest task in warlight.

And some ontopic words:
This topic is completely meaningless.
Come back when clans will pay to their players for playing in CL.

Ok, some clans pay already, I mean they pay with their time when they train the rookie players, and I can understand their bad feelings when one of their trained players are poached.

But the CL is not the proper place to solve this problem imo! (btw I think, the present transfer rule is neither ok, because prevent the repoaching and protect the elite clans :P (if I understood well))

Better place to solve this problem in your clan!:

• Manage your clan well and the players won't be poachable (for example create an Elite Squad for your competitive players (if you are a bigger community clan), grasp the hearts of your players, make good clan stuffs, really appreciate your talented players, etc.)
  
• Even "write" a contract with the rookie player about after you trained him/her, he/she cannot leave your clan in the next X years. I mean write this and his/her consent in a clan forum or mail topic, then if he/she break the contract you can copy those posts to the public forum. (but there are many questionmarks with this, so the first solution is better)
  
• and so on

Please leave ONE! and join me at Lynx!

I already joined to your Discord channel, and I can't do more, because ONE! is the best clan ever (and simple the ONE!)

Btw, how did you find my list of "Players to Poach"? :O

I simple was quicker than you, this is why you wasn't able to see when I found and read your list ;)

If you join us Ekstone, Lynx will give you a lucrative contract. You'll be the best paid player on Warlight.

Let's all poach MHunters people, I am sure that will go over well with Mike.

AI has been bullied, humiliated, almost left WL at that time.

Darn it'd really suck if AI were to disappear from WL without word! I'd poke around in a couple of clans to see if there are any new good German players running the ladder right now though.

I don't get the concern with poaching. WL clans undoubtedly suffer from more market inefficiencies than pro baseball teams and yet pro baseball teams are working just fine with rich teams 'poaching' good free agents from poorer ones. Not every clan is immediately in a position to serve the interests of its most skilled players- you have to build up to that point with the understanding that a lot of the players you invest in might be sucked up by clans with more resources.

Honestly, the top-tier clans are not particularly efficient at identifying or cultivating talent; they've got a leg up, for sure, but not to the point that clever management can't easily prop up a competitive clan to rival them.

I don't know if all clans keep recruitment vs. training investment vs. return data, but those that do should be able to easily see the WL is a context where building up your players on the inside is much more efficient than trying to go for known stars. Really, the hand-waviness of the community here makes it almost a replica of the MLB circa Moneyball.

Hrmmm. Sorry that this thread even started. I agree that Norman and Mike come across as whining about poaching. I hope you all realize that Norman and Mike are not the voice of everyone in MH. MH is a varied community that puts up with conspiracy theorists (Mike), arrogant germans (Norman), American Assholes (Me and Legacy) and even really nice people(Espurr). As for the topic of poaching itself, who the hell cares? People are free to do what they want. If Masters or MH wants to invite someone from another clan, who cares? If you want to be in an elite clan just to feel better about yourself then do it. If you want to because you like playing with the dudes in it, then do it. It is not something that can, or should, be regulated so stop discussing it and play some WL.

No one cares, Emu Pub.

At least I don't hide behind an ALT. And considering your percentage of downvoted posts, no one seems to care about your posts either.

I used to get approached all the time, probably by over 10 different clans with some multiple times.
I got so fed up about it that I started my own clan in the hopes it would stop. How naive of me...

Not saying it's a problem, but some poachers are a tad impolite.
