Author Topic: DO YOU WANT TO MAKE YOUR OWN CLAN? READ THIS:  (Read 5584 times)

Hello.

Do you want to make your own clan?

1. Don't, there are several clans already, You can search for clans by using the Search option just over this window. And this game don't need more clans . When you have read this, continue to step 2

2. If you absolutley must make your own clan; follow these simple steps. It will make your clan look more serious, and you won't be flamed by other people on the forums.

2.A) Prepare:
Make sure you have atleast 3 members who wants to join you, BEFORE you post in this section of the forums. If you make a clan with no one in it, you'll probably don't get any later on, and then clan is doomed for failure. Make a list on your computer and write down all members that you have in your clan, also make a blacklist for those that you don't want to visit you, and your clan, in your servers. Make up a good design for your topic, play around in the webbrowser, there's a button when you create new threads, "Preview". It shows the topic, but it doesn't create it. It's great to use if you want to see the results before posting.

2.B) Create:
 Find a good name, It should be simple, short, and the name must have some sort of background to it! Don't just make a "Ninjas clan" because no one is a Ninja. Make a serious clan, and name it after what you like to do and so on. Make sure your grammar is correct before any posting, and make sure the names of the members in the clan are correct, also check their BL-ID ingame, it's very important. I highly suggest that you write about how people should do when making applications to the clan (if they should send PM's, post in gallery etc etc) I would recomend using my template (NOTE; The template use  HTML code, when you copy this, the HTML will disapear. you have to make that your self,  but it's not that hard)


2.C) Template:


--------------------------------------------------------
-<Name of the clan>-


Background:


Purpose:

Requirements:

Member List:
<name>  -  BLID:<number>

Black List:
<name>  -  BLID:<number>

--------------------------------------------------------

I've also stacked a few examples of already excisting well made clans here (including my own):

http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=43883.0


2.D) Maintenance:
You have to keep track of what's happening in your thread all the time. An important thing NOT to do, is double post, especially not right after you made the thread, use the "Modify" button for that. Update the thread EVERY time a new member joins, etc. Keep track in the gallery section of the Forum, people often post applications to the clan there, and you have to come up with a way to vote. Check the thread every day, no one wants a leader that's afk.

Bump this thread every singel time you visit the Clan section on this forum.
ALSO: Take the link to this thread and post it in every clan that you feel don't meet the requirements of standard

Nice Limp, but you put NWB twice, lol. :P

Nicely done Limp. maybe this will prevent stuffty clans. :D

Fix'd

Cool, hopefully this will stop the wave of idiotic clans being made. Now we have 2 topics on how a good clan should be made, people have no excuses to make bad clans now.

I want this to be sticky'd!

Sticky this! :D

This is very similar to clan guidelines, and I'm kind of offended WBS didn't get in there for formatting.

Horay for amazing clan guidelines!
