Participation page
Here is whats new
This website is so hard to maintain with all the other things I need to do in this game. Once I dreamed that clan members would come to this page every day to find out what is going on. I have come to realize that this is unrealistic.
People want to play the game not read. So in the future the best way to find out what is new is to read the clan chat.
I might post some stuff here in the future
I might type stuff here every once in a while, but mostly keep an eye out in clan chat.
Welcome to the Men of virtue's participation page
Introduction
This page contains information about suggested participation levels for clan members.
Clan member participation
Ways for members to participate in the clan.
We have had to work long and hard to build this clan. We care about our members.
(1) Check the website
I encourage you to slowly read the entire website completely when you first join our clan. I know it is a lot to ask. But our website is here when you feel like learning about us.
The first line of defence in finding out what is new is to check in clan chat. I sometimes post about updated to the website there.
(2) Participate in clan chat
Again new members are encouraged participate in clan chat often. Say hi there every once in a while.
(3) Partricipate in Discord discussions.
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. I have my discord set so that I get a notification every time someone types a message in discord.
I have created a whole website page about discord that you can find in the menu bar or by clicking the button below.
Removing Members
Ultimately you get removed for not participation in clan chat.
If someone is not participating in our clan for a while the first step is to start to worry about them and wonder what we can do to help.
If we start to worry about you the first step is to mention this on 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 this ends up with the clan member getting removed. This breaks our hearts.
When we don't remove members
We don't delete active players because they are not high ranking enough.
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.
While new members need to have a player power of 3 million this is not a requirement for members who have been here a long time.
How we consider removing inactive members
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 other shortcomings of a new member is if they preform well in Clan vs. Clan activities.
