Some tips and advice on starting a clan

Preface: As most of you know I have a clan DR and have lead it for more than a year. Before the revivals and stuff it was very successful *brags* 6 members last april *insert huge grin here*. But as i am in grade 11 i dont normally play as often due to lots of homework and my job schedule. But i still manage to play jj2 in a moderate amount of time.

Actual tips:

-Skill in playing; it is extremely extremely extremly reccomended that a leader in the clan has lots of skill to test people who want to join. If they beat you by alot you can either feel stupid and shun them, or let them in and ask them for some tips about dueling and battles.

-Reccomended that you tryout people who want to join in a well-known battle level/map. This way everyone is familiar and at the end they wont say "i never knew this lvl. This sux, im not joining this stupid clan...yah de yah yah"

-Website reccomended for updates and news. All the better a forum-like this one aka a message board.

-preferably have 1.23 and 1.24 as some people may only have 1.24 and try and contact you through J2O and you cant tryout as you dont have that version. Try to find it on ebay or some special people ;p

-Also adversitse in a server: 3mr Recruiting *and a attention grabbing sentence*

-Have a different theme to your clan ranks. Instead of Leader, do Ultimate Dragon Master for a bit of variety from the normal.

-make sure everyone in your clan has MSN or ICQ or something that they go on constantly and have an active email account.

-Make sure everyone in your clan is active or relitavely active. Be strict about this as they will think your weak and they let the inactivity slip to a mere once a month or even further. Threaten to kick them or ban if it is severe from your clan. It may make a dent, but this will tell other people that your clan means business.

-Make a set of clan rules; no multiclanning, no cheating, no inactivity, and you can think of a few of your own too.

Those are all the tips i can think of at the moment, so pick whichever ones you like and off you go!
