Welcome to the Men of virtue's participation page

This page contains information about expected participation levels for clan embers.

The button on the home page takes you to the whats new section below.

It is suggested if you have never read it before that you check out the section about the roll of clan leader before proceeding.

Feb. 23rd 2025

Added a new section about removing members

Check out the clan versus clan page for the latest information about our current CvC battle.

Before studying clan participation in might be helpful tohave a look atmy clan leader philosophy over on the general raid page,

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.

We have had to work long and hard to build this clan.  Now new clan members have to go through a probationary period where they are encouraged to meet special new requirements.  These rules were not in place when our clan veterans joined the clan, and they don't apply to them.  These new requirement only apply to new members on their probationary period.

Read the website completely when you first join our clan.  Then check it every day from then on.   You should bookmark our website on your device.

There is a button in the first section called "what's new."  When new information comes out you ara very strongly encouraged to read it.  Also please comment on the new stuff on the website in clan chat.  This will help you to feel like you are part of the group and get to know the older members.

Think of the website as an advanced form of the primitive  message system built into raid.

The next thing you need to do when you log in is to check in.  Start at the bastion.  From there click on clan.  From there click on members.  From there click the button alongside your handle that says "check in" and get your first star.

This really helps the clan because this scores activity points for us.

e really like to see new members get three activity stars every day.  While you are there click on "info" and read the message typed by the clan leader.

Again new members are required to participate in clan chat often.  Failure to do so can often result in removal from the clan, especially if there are other concerns about your participation level

Don't worry if you are a veteran.  We will not kick you out for not chatting enough.

When you make a comment in clan chat, it is a good idea to mention what you read on the website paying special attention to newly published material.

Also please comment on the official clan leader message.  It will show us that you are paying attention to what is going on with the clan and that you are following the web site.

That is it for daily chores.  In the next sections I will go over activities that new members on probation are strongly encouraged to participate in.

You will need to score a minimum of 1,000 points in Clan vs. Clan battles.  This will really help you because you get tremendous milestone rewards if you score a minimum of 1,000.  Our Clan almost always gets all our milestone rewards by the end of the contest.

New members are encouraged to play hydra every week.  As most of you already know, each player gets three hydra keys every week.  Please be sure to use these every week.  Defeating the hydra is a team effort, and our team needs your help!  Failure to do this repeatedly may result in removal from the clan, for new members during their probationary period.  This new rule does not apply to our veteran members.

New members are expected to place teams in the clan fortress early in the preparation phase of the battle.  This might be difficult for players at levels under 45 because they can't play siege.  In this case you can ask for an exemption in chat.

Some ruthless clan leaders are kicking people out of their clans for not being on discord.  That sounds really rough to me but new members are encouraged to participate in discord discussions.

Right now there is very little discussion on discord.

New members are very strongly encouraged to participate in clan quests.  These really help the clan because they give us clan experience points.  A new set of quests come out every weak.  You are eligible to take three quests.  If there are not any quests available that you are able to do you may get an exception to this rule by asking  for an exemption in clan chat.

If someone is not participating in our clan for a while the first step in this clan is to ask them if they are OK, and if there is anything we can do to help.  This invitation comes in the whats new section of the web site. 

We strongly encourage clan members to check in to the whats new section of the web site and find out what is new every day.  

Removal from the clan is always a result of not checking the "whats new" on the web site, combined with not addressing the problem in clan chat.

If there is some reason for the absence it will always be excused if the member is participating in clan chat.  Unfortunately, when members go inactive they often never check into the web site to find out there is a problem and  never type into the clan chat or let us know what is wrong, and eventually end up getting removed.  This breaks our hearts.

We don't delete active players because they are not high ranking enough.

We don't remove beginner level members under level 45 for reason other than non-participation.

A basic human need is to feel love and acceptance.  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.

That being said beginner level players are expected to advance up to level 45 quickly. 

We don't want dead weight in our clan.  We remove inactive clan members on a case by case basis.  There is not a hard and fast rule.

One thing we consider is how many clan experience points a member has contributed.  If a new member has not even checked in for three days and have contributed 0 clan XP we feel free to remove them.  Long time members who have contributed a lot of ex points deserve some slack.

Another reason for overlooking the shortcomings  of a new member is if they preform well in Clan vs. Clan activities.
