Forming a Clan, Tips by Genji.
With all the clans out there... I think some of you are missing something in making one so here is my GUIDE in making a clan.
Part 1 - What the Heck Have You Been Smoking?
---------------------------------------------
Everyone has been hearing, having a clan is so kewl, they are so easy to get, you should try it. Well, I got to say... Quit smoking that Sohni Pipe! IT's making you delusional! Running a clan is not kewl... You need a lot of time, patience, and dedication to start, run, and maintain a clan. The road to start a clan is steep... keeping it maintained is harder! Let's count now, how many clans still have their original creator? that's your answer...
Part 2 - I Can't Do What?!?!?!?
-------------------------------
When you are a clan primogen you are restricted to a lot of things that are kewl. So, think before you try to become one...- Primogens got to stick with the COUNTRY they chose...- Primogens can't be Subpath Guides or Elders.- Primogens can't be Archons, if there is a need for one.- Primogens can't go in a 'Crime Spree' and decorate their legend with all them pretty brands.
Part 3 - So, Am I worthy?
-------------------------
So, you think you got what it takes eh? Then climb aboard and read all the ingredients you need to become a convincing primogen...
1. Start with a clean butt - Yes a starting primogen must not have any brands, why because it makes us older primogens look bad... and we got to maintain some order!
2. Level 50 Limit - You got to be level 50 at least to start thinking of starting a clan... It will be sad if you were a primogen and can't even lift your dang SWORD!
3. Pick a Kingdom - You got to pick a kingdom to station? Why because the royalty of each kingdom would like to sponsor your clan and they just not the sharing type.
4. Time after Time - You better have a lot of time because starting and maintaining a clan is not like taking care of your pet goldfish that you flush down the toilet! So quit thinking of becoming Il San and get your butt working!
5. Quit BeingBi-Clanual! - It's so uncool to start a clan when you are hitched to aniother clan... Makes you look like a handicap person... So get in there and press "EXILE".Part
4 - Bare Necessities.. NOT!
--------------------------------
This is not high school where you can slack your butt off and do as little as you can to get a decent grade! This is a clan with mean people like me who will look at your clan and say.. 'Hey, you nosing in to my territory?' So you better take this seriously. So, you want to know the bare essentials are... well time to pull out the check list...
[] Pick a Kingdom!
[] Pick an Clan Name that agrees to other clans. Meaning something with an asian theme...
[] Pick a theme for your clan...
[] Befriend all the clan primogens...
[] Remove all Crime Brands
[] Remove yourself from any clan
[] Remove yourself from any Subpath Elder position or Guide.
[] Make a Clan Webpage with the following: - List of Members - Rules - History - Theme
[] Get 100 members
[] Meet Tribunal and answer all their questions
[] Complete the clan tribute given to you by the Tribunal.
Part 5 - Theme?!?!?
-------------------
Yes you need a bloody theme... What's a theme?!?!? What's a theme... now close your eyes and hit your head on the keyboard for asking a
stupid question.A theme is something that makes your clan different from all the other clans out there.THINGS YOU SHOULD NOT USE! (Consider it a clan killer if you even try to use these themes)- Clan of Peace - Clan that helps Community- Clan of Nuetrality - Clan of Love- Any clan that has a philosophical theme... will kill you! Philosophy always has a way to turn around and really mess you at the end.
Part 6 - Make a Dang Webpage
----------------------------
Webpage is like 'Clif' Notes' to the tribunal... Some of us are too stupid, lazy, non caring to really wait for you and scour through the Com Tab for your clan page. That is why it is important.You don't know a dang thing about HTML... Find someone who does. You don't know anyone who can do it for you... BYE BYE CLAN!
Part 7 - What's in a Name
-------------------------
When you make a clan name... try not to make it sound similart to the other clans. Try to steer away from that. It's bad luck to you... and good luck to them.Also try to make it at least asian theme, you will be asked to change the name if the tribunal thinks your Clan Name sucks! So, quit with the - Clan of the White Buffalo... That's not going anywhere!
Part 8 - Laugh not....
----------------------
When advertizing your clan to the public... try not to say things that might offend other clans out there for example...'Are you tired of the lame clans out there'The only thing you gonna lose is any chance of being official. You see... the other clans out there are the ones voting for you. So, don't mudsling the other clans... only thing dirty in the end is your clan's chance of being official.
Part 9 - Donations??? Is this a Stick Up???
--------------------------------------------
I have to STRESS a lot to all new clans not to spend time collecting donations. Because, you not sure if you will even have the clan and by the time you collect it... The tribute could be different. So refrain collecting anything until you get the TRIBUTE from the tribunal.
PArt 10 - Help? What am I Nice?
--------------------------------
No clan primogen should be BOTHERED on the rules or any questions you have in making a clan... Example... are questions like...- What do you think are better 'questions'- What is a good thing for this?- Do you think this is O.k.It just shows other primogens you can't seem to make it on your own! That is a lack of leadership... Question for info on starting a clan is good... question on creating your clan is BAD!
Part 11 - Tribunal... What a Naughty Word!
------------------------------------------
Should you fear the Tribunal?!?!? Yes!!! This is the thing that will make or break you! Things you should know when you finally meet the Tribunal!- Don't be a snooty...- Tribunal don't like fighting words...- Answering a question with another question ticks us off!- You better know all your clan rules!- Be prepared for questions, that question your clan!
Part 12 - The End
-----------------
I hope this scares the heck out of you in making a clan... Clan Creating and Maintaining is REAL hard and take a lot of time. Also to scare you even more... the chances of your clan becoming official is 8%. Roll that dice and cry... Because it is that frustrating!
