Leader Ablities: Appointing a position.

[Matt 34.5]

Give leaders the ability to add a short text to a clan members name. (for example, when an avatar is set, you could see
Livre
Recruiter
<The dawg Pound>
or
endless
Likes men
<The dawg Pound>
or
Lex 3.1
Wishes he could be in
<The dawg Pound>
etc...

and when you stat someone you could see;
<The Dawg Pound> Recruiter Livre's Rating: 1337

Thus giving the ability to visably appoint positions to clan members, such as "applicant", "recruiter", "co leader", "guest". Just by putting a command such as /endless "likes men" -- with quotations or somthing around the text, incase the name has a space. Upon leaving the clan, they would lose that text.

Thought it would be an easier way of giving people the ability to do all those little things they want to do, like co leader, recruiter, etc... And a good way to make fun of end.

And fix the shit filter.

[MicSpor]

Well, I like the Co Leader, Recruiter, and other stuff clan related. But when you give the tittle "likes men" the person might not want it. So maybe it could be an invitation kind of thing.

[Hoolwath]

If he did not want it he could leave the clan.


I LOVE this idea. I would definitely need it a lot. I nowadays only have time for one or two games a day and I cry when I jump a noob ar a noob jumps me. This way, I could seek people who have titles such as "the best clan grey" and stuff. I would find this handy.

[Matt 34.5]

"If he did not want it he could leave the clan."
Thats exactly why I mentioned the the leaving the clan part. :)

I wanted the members of TDP to know who was an applicant, and who was a full member. It could also be a way of awarding members, for example, TDP has Dawg of the month -- which could be put there. And Livre was officialy placed as TDPs first recruiter not too long ago, I'd like him to be able to rub it in peoples faces. ;)

[gryph89]

Hm, I need to say nothing more than I'd love this idea.

[Hellblazer]

Well, that'd just be a little over the top in use-wise. I mean, that just takes the fake titles we have now and puts it smack dab in your stats line.

[HoodedH-TDP]

I think it sounds good, but before i agree totally whats my sub name title gunna be? lol

[Matt 34.5]

*HoodedH*
Slept with Matt to get a title
<The dawg Pound>

[Justice]

I was wrong.

I love it.

[mantis33]

yeah i would like to appoint recruiters and stuff too so i agree with you guys

[uniquinous]

Yeah I have to agree with this... It doesn't make it any more official then our made up self-appointed current titles.

It has entertainment value in that leaders could poke fun at certain clan members, but generally you want the individual user in charge of their own attributes at all times. At least put /accept and /remove title commands.

But yeah, the better idea would be to actually have a real leadership hierarchy, where co-leaders have leadership abilities, recruiters can appoint someone to be invited/blacklisted, etc etc etc. Usability, not furthering our made up system :p

[AlabamaBoy]

Although, It would still be amusing to be able to apply a fake, or humerous title to a clan member as well as having real, sub-divisions of leadership.

[†Nuke'em†]

This would be awesome!

[Livre]

Me too! :cool:

This is a great idea! It will not only help clans who have trial members, but it will also be advantageous to people seeking a clan, in the sense that they would know exactly who to ask information from about applying/getting into the clan. However, more importantly, it might actually inject a little bit of fun back into TAO once again, which some "nameless" people seem determined to prevent...

[Lex]

No I don't. Decent idea though.

Yes, it would be better. But I thought it would be more likely for them to do somthing as simple as giving titles. It may not give more power to the people with the titles, and its functionable as more than just pretty little text to most clans.

For example, TDP recruits people through our forums, all they have to do to get in is apply correctly at which point their trial members. The members of TDP vote wether or not they think a member should stay in TDP, which would be easier if when they were online they knew which person was a trial member. Our system works fine as it is, but this would help.

It could also help members know who to talk to to be recruited (recruiter, obviously), and its a way to award clan members for any achievement, like winning a tourny, or member of the month, etc... depending on the clans system. I can think of many ways it could be used, aside from screwing around with clan members.

And the accept and remove thing -- This is why I mentioned it stays only until changed by the leader, or the member leaves the clan. If the leader is going to insult the member by giving him/her a bad title, then he/she shouldn't want to be in the clan anyways.

This was ment to be a shorter post...

Good Idea, and may get around the whole we will not add coleader power thing... good god why will Seed not code that!!

Great Idea Matt. Good Job =P

Great idea i support it 100% Nice job.

[Asianpride55]

So all it is a title under your name you get nothing special when you have recruiter under your name. Maybe you can add special leader options like giving someone the ability to invite people so the idea of being a recruiter would make sense. Someone being a co leader may have abilities to invite people and everything except for expelling people from the clan.

Because those are unlikly updates, that have been requested (not that I expect this to get done either). I chose this as simple way to fill many requests all at once. Though it may not be to its full potential, its more likely.

[phoenixofflames]

whether the titles work or not i still want this considering i am a leader and i have a lot of people that i need to title right now..

[Esko]

Asian..that is a horrible add-on idea.

[young cha]

ae u ever happy esko?¿?

[uniquinous]

to be honest matt, it's gonna be just as easy for them to add an extra line of code and add abilities to the position of co-leader

actually, quite a few suggestions here, even the good ones, can be easily done.

it's just a matter of... well... doing it

[KBHoleN1]

Following uni's idea (which I love)

Leader - invite, expel, change clan message, appoint positions, pass off leadership

Co-Leader - invite, change clan message

Recruiter - appoint recruits to invite list (which could appear when a leader or co-leader signs on)

Stuff like that? I think that would help organize clan duties tremendously. While other positions would have special abilities, only the leader can expel members or pass the leadership.

[Dresicos]

That would be a great instalment.

=\ But will it ever happen?.

The odds are against you

Ok, I am not the smartest person apparently.

>.< What did you mean the odds are against me?

[phoenixofflames]

means you probably wont get it.

Exactly!

[Merdoc.]

Why would they do that? Sure its great, but TAO would loose money. People buy golds to get the units, and the clan. If you get leader to a clan, why buy a gold? Rarely grays get their hands on a clan. If they do, it isn't a good name. TAO would loose money in my point of view.

Good idea would be useful.

What does this have to do with grays? Its about upgrading the abilities of the leader, and being able to appoint other positions. Grays still can't make clans, and a gray that has a clan is still gonna get wiped. This idea doesn't affect gray accounts at all ...

[Merdoc.]

There is only 1 account for clan leader. TAO would want everyone to become gold so they can be a leader aswell, not give away gold abilities.

This hasn't been brought up yet: how does Bills make money from this?

[-Dape-]

This hasn't been brought up yet: how does Bills make money from this?

He doesn't, i have spent lots of money on this game and i think many others have also, so i think he should give only golds these ablities, it would help clans out alot.

[uniquinous]

>.< What did you mean the odds are against me?"I'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request.

.. ...

Means no."

Rarely grays get their hands on a clan. If they do, it isn't a good name. TAO would loose money in my point of view.I disagree, strongly. A TON of greys come to me before each wipe asking me to save their clans. But the fact of the matter is, people buy the accounts, much moreso for the units and being gold, then for the clan. But the fact of the matter is, it's not the clan-making ability greys want, it's the status. They want to feel important by being at the very top of a clan, and leading it. They want to circumnavigate the power struggle by just making themselves at the top. This doesn't change that. Furthermore, it doesn't change the fact that, as you said, the "good clans" wouldn't really be allowing noob-greys into any leadership position. Greys already get into crap clans now - giving more people leadership in crap clans won't decrease gold account buying.

Theoretically, improving the product and offering updates from time to time would pique people's interest and keep the game going strong. My guess is that revenues are just starting to dip currently. They need something to pull people back and recenter them. I think it's clear at this point that the occasional "name your new server thread" without actually giving a new server, only works for so long. I also find it funny that they are doing the same thing at Legends with the pandemonium server (while I think they are more likely to get it, I'll believe it when I see it).

[young cha]

hopfully for once i agree with matt and like the idea which i dont agree with most and like uni said its a matter of codes depending on if they do it is if they really fell like it it wouldnt be to hard

[dirka dirka]

He doesn't...

Right.

In theory, yes. Some people are happy with loads of money though, and don't need loads more. Granted, what you said is all true. I still don't see any changes in the next year or more, but hell.. you've got more insight into the admin community than I do.

HELL!! stop flaming every suggestion!!! wtf get out of this forum!!
