View Full Version : An Interesting Clan Concept That I Wish To Share

Now all of you know that I'm one of the Pots leaders, and I hope to keep leadership on Banff, but I was thinking of something really cool today while reading a Stephen King short story. It has nothing to do with the story at all, just bragging that I read a short story of his. It was called The Lucky Quarter, and it was actually pretty good. :happy:

Anyway, back to the clan. I was thinking about making this clan in Revelation, where people would be most willing to try a new concept. The clan may have a forum, but I don't usually go to forums, so I wouldn't make one. The clan's name would have something to do with an oligarchy, which means "ruled by a few." It could be The Oligarchy of Honor, or something along those lines. I'll let you guys brainstorm.

The clan would have three (3) leaders with fairly high stats. If you are going to whine and complain that stats are pointless, then go choke on a squash; I don't care. In order for a person to be allowed in the clan, they must:


Have a positive forum account.
Have 850+ stats at all times.

If either of these easy acceptance points are ever broken by a player or leader, they are abolished from the clan until they regain them. "Member Initiation" is when a player is undergoing the process to becoming a new member.

Becoming a leader:

1.1 When I start the clan, I will choose two other players that I trust. The one with the highest stats will hold actual leadership. As soon as another leader passes them in stats, they will lose leadership and have to give it to the new highest leader.

1.2 If a member of the clan wishes to become one of the three (3) leaders, then they must undergo a process. I'd like to call it "Leader Initiation." The member must face all three (3) leaders (smallest stats to highest stats order) and defeat atleast one out of three. A member can only become a leader when the average stats of all three (3) leaders is less than the member trying to become a leader's. If a member completes Leader Initiation, then they take the spot of the weakest leader (the one with the least amount of stats).

Choosing new members: Now of course not all players that fit the requirements are allowed in the clan to become members. Two (2) out of the three (3) leaders must decide that the player trying to become a member is worthy. One (1) of these deciding leaders has to be the Main Leader (the one with actual TAO leadership/has the highest stats).

Comments?

I like how your choosing the leaders. Is this clan on Rev too?

Not yet. And what do you mean "too"?

Sounds like it holds stats in the highest regard.

Not totally, because in order for a member to become a leader, they must also:

• Be known as trusting by the leaders
• Defeat one of the leaders

lol, thats harsh,

And I thought its a clan in Banff.

No, I never even mentioned Banff. And it's not harsh because he negbombs me every week and he never has anything good to say about anything.

i will second your comment, and i think its a neat idea as long as there is trust within the leader ranks.

actually, i have negged you like 2 times. and the most recent, becuase you negged me.
i would have something good to say, if this wasnt such a stat obsessed clan.
and its not like stats on rev mean shit anyway.

I'm not going to get into an arguement about this, but it's not stat-based totally, and you know that. The three leaders possibly have the highest stats, but unless the leaders trust a new member to be a leader that has higher stats, it's a no-deal. So there are a lot of other things involved with this clan.

I don't see why you guys are all complaining about the stat requirement. It's not that bad. 850+ isn't hard at all. The highest requirement I've ever seen is Netjak.

I like the way that leadership is established. They have to be respected and hard-working for main leadership.

I like the idea, F_A. :)

Mushroom, I think they're complaining about the fact that you have to have a higher stat than the average of the three leaders'. However, that isn't much of a big deal anyway.

Renny is the first interested player I guess! And remember, guys, this isn't a huge commitment. It's just a really fun Revelation clan.

I'd like some other thoughts. And by the way, once more people are inerested and I make the official thread, the leader stats will be updated every month.

Why not make some form of government in Pirates of the Seas?

Because!

It's just not the same.

Anyways, as the title says, interesting concept. :-)

Wait... so when a new leader joins, the third leader gets kicked out of leadership and just becomes a normal member, but what's too stop him from going on the leader account again? Or does the Main Leader not give out his password? And also, it sounds like the person who has actual leadership could change a lot, which means that peoples passwords will get passed around all over if he does give it out. Not necessarily a problem though since technically everyone with access would be a trustworthy person, but some people might be uneasy about it. If the leader DOESN'T give out his password you could avoid any issues like that, but then what happens when you need to recruit or expell and the main leaders not on? I do like this concept though. It sets in stone who's a leader and doesn't allow for any arguement about it which is good for holding a clan together, and it's also very original. Good luck to you if you try and make this really happen.
