I've got opponent usage. I've got plenty of opponent usage.

Due to not really knowing much about my opponents, my first post was a lot more focused on TI's backstory as well as his relationship to Infinity. After I got a sense of what DZ and Drakus were about, I devote the majority of my next three posts--save one additional flashback--to reacting to what they write and opponent usage.

My goal from the beginning was to offer a running series of snippets from TI's 'missing chapters' while still devoting the majority of verbiage to opponents and hopefully even tying them together. I do feel that I've done at least the first two. TI repeatedly harrassed DZ, including faking drunk to get a rise out of him and raise suspicions between him and Drakus, and argued with Pryce in his car.

So I'll need a little more help in seeing how I focused on myself too much. If this traces back to not writing my opponents' thoughts enough, I can't help that. That's just how I approach feuding. I don't like presuming unless I'm REALLY sure.

I think Matt Strikmore was the last person to join here. Off the top of my head, all but about seven members of the FWRFed (Ash, Rage, JE, Stown, Badboy, Purple Camo, Jason Li - apologies if I missed anyone) are new to e-fedding.

So, essentially we've had nobody join in the last two months (Strikemore registered on 6/3), whereas they've picked up 3-5 feuders NEW to fedding because of 411Mania's traffic...

All of those newbies (and it's no more than a handful - the FWRFed is still brand new) joined when it started with about two exceptions because Acid pimped it quite a bit. We average only a couple of new members a month at most anyway and, because we had zero activity on 411, it wasn't like we were attracting them from there anyway.

If you want new members, I recommend word-of-mouth as your recruiting technique of choice - that's how I joined.
