Personally I would like to see the entire wild made into multi combat, that would make it survival of the fittest. But since that is never going to happen I would like to have clan houses or something... p2p owned sure, but allow f2pers access to it. More to the point: if they are going to do a clan update I want to be able to access it even if only p2pers can introduce it. other wise its just one more thing to give p2p clans more of an advantage over the f2p based ones. and since we already have to contend with things such as people getting a subscription and leaveing us a clan update that exludes f2pers would be one more step into the grave for us.

well I won't critisise the quality but the colors are wrong. I simply want a black background nothing fancy with white letters. but the letter style is right on I think.

alright then lets see what you can do. please make the first one and ill tell you what I think. thanks for the offer.

Thanks for your reply Guthix, its close. I am not sure what the name of it was, you would have to ask thruitall as he is the one who made the banner. I belive its some form of gothic but can't be sure about that.

Hello, if your reading this then that meens your at least interested in what I have to say and perhaps more. I am the leader of Militos Deci, a order of sorts based here at tipit. I would like to request that those of you who are skilled in makeing signatures consider lending me your services in createing a series of signatures that we would embed a link to our recrutement topic in. the specifications are as follows: I want it to be between 350x20-30 pixles in Dimension. and I want it to use the White Text with Black background just like our Banner reading as follows for each Rank: Proud Squire of Militos Deci Proud Knight of Militos Deci Proud Paladin of Militos Deci Proud Baron of Militos Deci Proud Count of Militos Deci Proud Duke of Militos Deci Proud King of Militos Deci I belive that the simplicity of the Background and text is the best, but make sure its Gothic like our Banner. their is a link to our recrutement topic for refrence in my signature if your interested in develping these signatures. I ask that you only work on the squire one so I may determin if it is to my likeing or not. Thank you for your interest in this matter

Poor Spelling- thats something I strugle with every day. I suppose you all have probaly noticed what does get by me by now. it has been suggested that I compile a very large list of these traits, this is something I shall take into advisement but at the present I lack the time required for such an undertakeing. Its your choice not to follow some one with poor spelling, but if they are of good charicter and have a good mind then I wouldent hold it against them.

ahh- profanity. yes that can be a big problem such as calling your subordenents names. I once was second in command of a clan and the leader called me names and treated me like garbage. I took around 90 percent of its members with me when I left to form the old Knights Of Honour which later fell apart after I took a break from runescape. to be fair most of them I brought into that clan any way's so its not like it was a mutiny or any thing- at that time I just wanted some one else to lead and me to enforce. I have learned through experionce however that finding a good leader to serve under is difficult if not impossible. it seems to involve lots of trial and error, and a bit of luck.

well without the wild we wouldent have much of an economy to drive this game me thinks. and without my order I would have no further reson to play this game. being free to play all 3 years of my charicters existance I don't reely have any other reson to play.

X-factor?

thanks for the replies every one. I too know that being irritable is a major flaw in a leader. but some times when people will not follow a lawfull command you give becouse they don't agree with it can be rather difficult to keep your cool. yes I suffer from this flaw, however recogniseing that you have such a flaw like this can help you to deal with it. naturly I did not just let them off the hook for that one. aculy it was the prospect of being punished I belive that caused alot of people to leave. that was a rather unfortunate incedent, and Im going off topic. my apologies.

Hello every one. I would like to start a discussion about what you think are the core traits that a clan leader should have. or for that matter that any leader should have. and also the flaws that you have seen in either yourself as a leader or others. for the latter please do not name names as its against the rules here. I suppose I will start. Qualitys: Authoritive, handles stress well, receptive to critisisim, flexable, works well with others. Flaws: egomania, paranoia, irritable, has little or no respect for those under his command, and a compleate intolerence for other peoples oppinions and views. well those are the ones I came up with, their are plenty of others I am sure.

well considering the other two who started doing the job with me dident last half as long- one vanished after a few weeks, I think I did a pretty good job getting things back in order. no I dident restore the Clan Section to its former glory nor could I. It would be too much to expect one man to make such a change by himself. but I did act as Custoden here for 9 months, helping (considerbly mind you) to keep spam and Flames in check, and topics Cleaned, and alot more. and Mario: yes I still lead my order although it has fallen on hard times of late. one of the sad eventuality's for any clan is it will know alot of them, but its how the Clan Deals with such matters that determins its Charicter. most clans would simply dissband after haveing gone though what we just did, but I intend to perservier and restore us to a community that has something good to offer the Life Long Free to Players and other people who care about such things more than simply PKing.

well Im sure this has been suggested before but I support interactive Emotes. I would like to see people able to Kneel before their Liege to take oaths ( some Role Playing Required) for example. well this idea at least has my support in the simplest sence but createing Custom Emotes will likely cause problems or take up too much memory excetra.

Respect: That every member be they a Leader or a new recrute is required to treat each other with respect at all times. this is by far the most Importent Quality in a Clan as far as Im concerned. The others are activity, Reguler and Clearly Understandable events, Dissiplin, Honour (Not Runescape but Real Honour as in behavior twoards others) Integrity of Leadership, excetra. a good Clan needs most if not all of these things but above all it needs good members willing to come to events as required and have a good time. if their is no fun to be had then people will not come to the events.

This topic brings up an Interesting Issue: and that is the Surplus of Free Rune that attracts people to these Wars and Run Ins. some of these Clans like you have Said Cool Guy stay out their and Fight Eachother for hours and hours returning over and over again. during that time I have been told that some Clans (DF) can use upwards of 40 sets of full Rune per person. thats upwards of 40 sets of Full Rune per person Droped and not picked up by Either side during the Conflict. I would Like to Know how many people come when they find out that their is a Returning War going on for the Rune. It wouldent supprise me if hundreds of People show up at the Hight of such a Battle. the Question however is what do the Combating Clans think of all these "Looters" as they some times refer to them, and how can they be Villionized for simply Picking up items that will be left to Dissipear from the world once such and such time has Elapsed anyway's. I for one can say that if I Encounterd a Run In sort of battle I would tell my Close Associets (members of my Order) and come back over and over again with nothing on and little food just to pick up 3 or 4 Rune Items before they Either Killed me or I could run and return later.

Thanks Guy's, It was a Privlidge to be your Clan Mod.

I would have to say that the experionce that comes with Age can help improve a Leaders Ability to deal with problems considerbly. however their are alway's exceptions to this, some very young Players some times as young as the age of 15 (okay so Im an old Coot) can be much more mature and capable than some people in their 30's I am sure. however Dissiplin is the key to a well organized and Mature Clan. you can have a main body of well over 90 percent between the age of 13 and 18 and still have far greater Organization and levels of maturity than one might expect so long as the Leaders (a large and well organized Clan will usely have more than one person in charge) Enforce Dissiplin Regurly. I know this becouse most of our members fall in this age Catagory and yet for the most part do their jobs rather well. and compared to most Clan's I have seen I would have to say I ask alot of our members even at the lower Ranks.

to those who might be interested: I Bufoman have recently retired from the staff and from my possistion as a Clan Moderator. I joined up for many resons mainly that their was no one else to do the job save an Administrator who should be free to do administrative work without haveing to clean every thing (which she did dispite our efforts none the less for many months). Originaly their where 3 of us, I will not bring up their names but of the 3 I out lasted them by many months. as a result I got to do the work that was originaly intended for 3 people (and one very buissy administrator). at around jully I had hoped to retire as I became burned out due to over work and lack of over all support by means of a CMOD Force. however I perservierd and continued my work and only recently have I found sufficent replacements to allow me to retire without abandoning these boards to rot and decay. I hope I am not over confidant in this for you have undoutably gotten used to seeing me as the Leader of these boards. now I ask that you look to Dbzruller72 and Das for your needs in my steed. so now after 9 months of being your Moderator I return to you at last as a fellow TipIter and no longer Bufoman the Clan Mod. I can only hope my reception will be a warm one.

well every one the new In Game chat is out. and it would appear alot of your fears where unfounded. for one yes any one can make a Channle, but they can only make one under their name. Further more to join a Channle you enter the Owner's name in under Join Chat. I think this solves alot of the potential problems with people makeing channles with the same name as a Clan that they do not own. for detaild information check out the Knowledge base topic about it Located on the Runescape Official Website. go to Knowledge Base/ Manual/Controlls/Clan Chat. I can see no URL to it, it would appear Jagex doesent want people Directly Linking to topics or some such. but thats how to get their. so far it seems like a nice chat system, and its Ingame, not IRC.

Moved to war's and run In's. Looked like a good fight... Memo to self: if getting in a Fight with cor Make no Returing a Rule 8-)

this is great News, you can read my earlyer thought on the matter here: http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=684 ... sc&start=0 It would seem that this matter is getting alot of attention. and yes I cross refrenced these two topics for easy refrence incase any one has multiple Imputs on the matter. my new Imput is: Hazza for Jagex!

hey guy's I was thinking you might be interested in whats being said over at Clan Discussions on our Forum: http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=684497 just letting you know this is getting alot of feed back. Ill be cross refrenceing these two discussions for easy reading and seeing as this has as much to do with runescape as it does with clans I see no violation of our rules in reguards to multiple topics of the same sort.

Hmm if any one wants my Hopes and Wishes for the New Clan Chat here they are: First off that it will be for both Free to play and members. Second that it allows you to PM individuals just like with the reguler PM System... this probaly won't happen as it would be like giveing extra PM Space which would be a rather nice gift in and of itself but too big a carrot for Free To Play. Thirdly that it is indeed part of the In Game chat, how they do this I will not venture to guess but Im thinking a Split Chat above Private perhaps. I hope that as a Free to Player I will be able to make my own Chat Room for my order, however I wouldent be supprised if its going to be a Big Carrot they dangle to get us to Subscribe. just the ability to Mass PM every one or people of diffrent ranks, and to be able to talk and see whats being said and filter chat from diffrent ranks like a Toggle on/ Off option I think would be great. Imagin a new Pile Comand going out to every rank at once, and every one seeing it in their Chatbox. if its reely just a week away Id love to see what it is. but If I cant be the owner of the room as a Free to Player it will greatly dissapoint me, and ill have to find a member of my order that I can trust enough to make it themselves. but knowing jagex and how they want more members they might just make that against the rules. Further more not allowing me and other Free to Play Clan Leaders to do so will creat a great Shift in the ballance of power. Free To play Clans already got no advantages over Member clan's save that they know the territory better. Members got more funds, Easier Levels, and they are less likely to leave a Clan if its members based as it offers for them most every member related thing they could want where as a Free to play based Clan can offer them practicaly nothing save sometimes a great community that they would not want to leave. So In Closeing I hope Jagex keeps us Free To players in Mind and any ballance of power shift that may occure as a result of this update between the two classes of Players.

Id just like to comment that alot of Corruption members have taken a sudden interest in our Clan Section. while this is nice its kind of spammy for 4 of you to post the same Information on some one else's topic. There for I would advise that the rest of you corruption Members consider this before we have 100+ replies here with the same basic info. The TipIt Clan Discussions are used to haveing very little Spam or Repeated Information. I just don't want to see 100 nearly Identicall replies cluttering the place up so no one else can get a word in Edgewise.
