Ty you Maz for sharing, and I almost made a mistake by leaving last night and going to what seemed a much better fellowship. But I found out right away it wasn't going to work out because she was so condescending with her superior attitude, I had to write her back and tell her to take a chill pill.As I understand it, another fellowship can immediately take you unless you have both joined and left another fellowship in the past 24 hours.
Regarding the question of recruitment, might I offer a (relatively) new player's perspective, anecdotal though it be? The first fellowship I joined was one that several of my near neighbors belonged to. After joining that fellowship, I continued to offer NH to other neighbors who were not fellows, two of whom began to offer me NH on a near-daily basis. I thought this was remarkable enough that I messaged them to say thanks. In the brief exchanges that ensued, one of them said that if I ever got to thinking of leaving my current fellowship, I should let them know, as they had some vacancies in theirs. I thought that was a nice offer and said so.
In the fullness of time—OK, like, a few weeks later <g>—I did leave that first fellowship, because being in it had taught me (rather ironically) that I wanted more fellowship than it offered. That is to say, I found I wanted to be a part of a group that traded more, visited more, chatted more, and also paid attention to the balance of boosts among the membership. I was sorry to leave the original fellowship, in a way, because I liked some of the people, such as I was able to get to know them (especially the Archmage). But my present fellowship—which I found through a recruitment post in the Arendyll Forum, thank you very much!—is a much better fit for what my playing style turned out to be. I am grateful to the more experienced users who post frequently on these boards (Bobbykitty, Bobbipiazza, Varron, Insanity Talisman, Lyleth, Aydenn...), who gave me some idea of the range of fellowship experiences available, and to that neighbor of mine, for indicating to me that switching fellowships is a Thing People Do.
As an aside, I think it's super cool that those two neighbors continue to bless my city, along with some of my now-former fellows (who are also neighbors, as I said). I continue to visit and sometimes trade with them. And I wonder about the evidently active players in my neighborhood who never return-visit me, even when they semi-regularly accept my trades. I guess it's all down to playing style, and some people just aren't down with the more social/cooperative aspects of the game. Or are they just that competitive—or that tired of clicking, clicking, clicking?!I don't have hurt feelings or anything, it's not that; I'm just... bemused? That might be the right word.
Apologies, Riggs, if I have now taken your thread even further off topic than Katwijk. I did have good intentions, I promise! And, I would be interested to know other folks' anecdotal experiences of Neighborly Relations—or switching fellowships, or whatever. Because I suppose I am down with–slash–fascinated by the social/cooperative aspects of the game.........
I'm now having to search out again to find a warm fellowship that helps there members grow, and learn the game. I'm here 12 hrs a day every day
so there should be a warm and friendly fellowship out there somewhere yes.
