Raid Shadow Legends
Men of Virtue
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. I started playing in 2023 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 degree in railroad operations.
The role of clan leader
I would rather be loved than feared
Updated August 7th, 2026
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.
All we ask for is that you try your best to participate.
All our members are loved and accepted in our clan
Updated August 7th, 2026
People have a basic need to be in a community where the are loved and accepted. We strive to have a family like feeling here.
This includes our clan brothers in earlier stages in the game. As long as our members want to play with us they should be loved and accepted even if they are not that far along in the game.
All we ask is that you try your best to participate.
How I see my role in the clan
I am not special. I have a few special jobs in the clan. Other 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.
Setting membership requirements
One of my jobs is to set membership requirements to join the clan. Currently there are no membership requirement. All are welcome.
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 need to fill out an application 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. This promote clan button can be used once a week by a clan leader. I like to remove players and promote the clan right after a CvC match.
Inviting new members
When our clan has an opening, lieutenants deputies and I can invite new members to the clan. Some of our oldest 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.
Appointing Deputies
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.
Clan Message and Description
I get to type out a clan message and description.
I am 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.
Spending Siege mana orbs.
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.
How I became a clan leader
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.
Removing Dead Weight
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.
Deputies
About deputies
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 loved and accepted. In our clan this is a special responsibility of our deputies.
Deputies please show up in the clan chat often and give our members incouragement.
Clan Members
New Members
Updated August 7th 2023
We have had to work long and hard to build this clan.
We have adopted an all are welcome policy.
New clan members go through a probationary period where they are encouraged to meet a list of clan related goals.
The key way a clan like this progresses is because our new members progress rapidy.
New members can learn more about this by reading the participation page
Veteran Members
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. Last time I checked we were a level 15 clan.
If I advertise I can get a new clan member in just a couple of hours.
