Welcome to the official web site of the men of virtue. We are a clan that plays the online game Raid Shadow Legends together. I am Hobo Jak's your humble clan leader. I am a F2P (free to play) type player. And yes, since you ask, back in my younger days, I used to ride freight trains around the country. I have a degree in mechanical engineering and another one in railroad operations.
Check the participation page to find out what is new.
My discord link is "jaks1753".
Hit me up on discord!
As your clan leader I would rather be loved than feared. I look at a lot of other clans in my search for new members to invite to our clan.
In their description they often have a message threatening new prospective members. Things like "if you don't check in for three days you will be removed." I don't think this is a good way to motivate people.
I am not special. I have a few special jobs in the clan. Oher than that I am no different from other clan members. There are other players in the clan who know more about the game. There are players in the clan more powerful than I am.
It is not really my place to order other clan members around or tell them how to play. Clan members are not slaves. I don't own our clan members.
The clan isn't my clan, it's our clan. It belongs to all of us.
I would like it better if we all talked together on clan chat and discord then we made consensus decisions that we all agree on when we work together.
Along with the deputies it is my also my sad duty is to remove dead weight from the clan. Dead weight means people who have quit playing. These people need to be removed from the clan. We still love them it is just that their life is going in a different direction.
One of my jobs is to set membership requirements to join the clan. Currently there are no requirements. When a member leaves the clan or is removed for lack of participation it creates an opening. I have set it up that when this happens anybody can join. You don't to fill out an application or have a certain player power to join.
I also have the option to "promote the clan." This is a button that I can push that puts a message into global chat. I don't use this button. With the help of deputies and lieutenants I like reading player profiles and sending them individual invitations to join the clan.
When our clan has an opening, lieutenants deputies and I can invite new members to the clan. Most of our members came here because we sent them an invite. Some members find us all on their own despite the fact we don't advertise. We have a special love for them.
As your clan leader, one of my main responsibility is to appoint deputies. There is a whole section on this page about deputies that you can get to by clicking the button below.
I get to type out a clan message and description.
I am currently using the clan message as a motivational tool to incourage our clan members.
From the bastion if you click on "clan" and click the top section labeled "info", you will see our current clan message and description.
It would be a good idea to have a look at the message every day when you first log in because I change it very frequently. This is a mandatory requirement for new members.
Along with the deputies I have the authority to spend siege mana orbs from our mana orb cash.
Every member of the clan can use mana orbs from their own personal stash to set conditions on posts.
When I started the game I joined a clan. It was not very good. More and more people in the clan became less active. Even the clan leader went inactive.
Eventually I was made the clan leader. This was automatically done by raid because it cuts you as clan leader if you don't log in for two weeks.
I changed the name of our clan. I made us a banner. I kicked all the inactive members from the clan and started recruiting new ones.
Together we worked hard to build the clan we have today. We keep improving.
Deputies get special privileges in the clan. Most importantly they can remove other members from the clan. They also get to spend mana in siege.
People have a basic human need to feel to loved and accepted. In our clan this is a special responsibility of our deputies. Please show up in the clan chat often and give our members incouragement.
Since one of your main duties as clan deputies is to remove inactive clan members, I suggest that you carefully read the section on members. The rules for new members have changed but the rules for veteran members are still the same.
Here is how it works. From the bastion you can click on clan. From there you can click on members. There you can see how long it has been since a member has played. From there you can click the action button and select remove from clan.
We love our veteran members. Many of you have been here for a long time. We have fought many battles together. We are like a family.
Our clan has grown stronger. It is time to make some new requirements for new members. These are not ex post facto. These new requirements only apply to new members.
I am working on a new page about clan participation.
