I'm going to start a clan, any advice?


Guest Roast

Recommended Posts

On the 28th of september this year, I am going to start a clan called Bot Slayers. The clan's purpose will be to report, lure, trap and kill bots.

The clan will also do some safe pvp events such as well e.g clan wars.

 

Do you have any advice for me while starting a clan, such as recruitment, how to organise pvp events and Even stuff like a clan signature.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Word of mouth will always be your strongest method of recruitment. Friends telling friends, posting topics, having your members post frequently with clan sigs like that, etc. You will have a hard niche to fill, since I question how many bots will be in pvp settings, but everything is worth trying once! Organizing forums becomes a lot more simple when you look into free forum hosting, such as Zetaboards, invisionfree, or IPBFree. Tip.it also offers private forums to clans, I believe, but you'd have to PM an administrator for that.

 

Your community events (like you mentioned Safe PvP, PVM, etc) can easily be supplemented and serve as a recruitment opportunity. For PvM'ing if you don't have enough people for a successful trip, you could post on the RSOF to get people to come along, etc. Then you could even try recruiting them.

 

Tipit also has a Teamspeak server now, so if you happen to recruit a lot of Tiffers, you can all talk in there. Alternatively, Skype works equally well for small groups of people.

If this becomes successful then RIP clan world.

All I want to do is get rid of as many bots as possible and have safe pvp events, it wouldn't harm you or anyone here at all. Please don't argue here anyway, I just want some advice, not an argument.

 

Also, I can't start the clan until the 28th of September this year, so I'll start recruiting then, as they would have no clan to join if I started recruiting now.

 

He's saying most of the clan world bots lol. Anyways I don't see many people interested in wasting their time "Killing bots".

 

Overall this reminds me of cops who camp in hidden areas and pull people over for going 5-10 MPH over the speed limit. Overall I don't see a clan necessary for this, just play the game and report botters when you run into them. Don't let botters ruin your game time unless you run into them.

 

Anywho GL and theres a forum on tip.it for graphics I'm sure you could find some one up to make you signatures.

Join a few clans that have been around for a while to see how their leadership works, so you can move it over to your clan.

 

It's easy to learn how to make signatures, go through google looking for tutorials on those type of programs (Photoshop, gimp)

Oh <_<

 

You don't need the ability to talk to join a clan though, most of them use IRC/Forums so you won't be muted :P

 

I made a clan in the past with only RSB/w141 Experience, it was a total failure. When I look back, I realize if I had the experience from clans with stable leaderships it would have gone better.

I recommend you grow older and have more IRL experience organizing and working with other people in groups because otherwise you will just end up kicking your clanmates when discussions get heated and then report them for botting.

I'm not accusing clans of botting, I'm saying that the clan will be an organised group of people who hunt bots. Like at pure essence, at chinchompas, at green dragons, auto typers, all sorts of bots. Also we'll do some pvp and pvm.

 

Also, thanks for telling me about the graphics forum, I posted a request for a signature of people in dragon armour fighting bots (the default bot look).

 

Any more advice or do I know enough to start a clan?

 

I'm not saying you're accusing clans of botting, I'm telling you that most clans have quite a few botters in them lol. Also I hope you're not making this clan in hopes of becoming a Player mod. Like I said before just enjoy playing scape, and report those who are botting that you run into. You shouldn't be patrolling and looking for people breaking rules. Honestly don't see you getting a memberbase of people to go around looking for botters and reporting them, it maysound fun at first but over time the membes will lose interest.

 

What Darkrai said was also good advice, it's easier to make a clan once you've been in a few.

Yeah, really creating a clan is a learning experience, and while it helps to have experience clanning, you can never "know everything" that you need to create a clan successfully.

 

Personally, I see you having two problems: The first being the purpose of the clan. As admirable your mission to remove bots from the game may be, you may find it pretty hard to find players who would like to go around doing that for extended periods of time.

 

Secondly, your age. You seem pretty mature for a 13 year old, however most successful clan leaders have been far older then that - unfortunately many people just won't respect someone of that age.

 

That said, good luck with it, I'm curious to see if it will work out :)

How ironic. I heard that you were a frequent user of bots, and whats more, even helped program one!

With so many trees in the city you could see the spring coming each day until a night of warm wind would bring it suddenly in one morning. Sometimes the heavy cold rains would beat it back so that it would seem that it would never come and that you were losing a season out of your life. But you knew that there would always be the spring as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person had died for no reason. In those days though the spring always came finally but it was frightening that it had nearly failed.

Didnt you offer to bot a number of hunting levels for another tif user in exchange for USD? Thats what I heard.

I doubt you will be able to find good potential members for the objective your trying to achieve in your upcoming clan. Many people will either dislike the idea and might not be successful but your idea and cause of helping is admirable just that not enough to overcome the amount of people against you. Thought the decision is up to you and i find you mature for being 13 years old.

 

GL with your clan if you decide to do it
