| Look, beg, and
find a game SERVER for your clan: |
A clan server really helps with clan
practices, if you have rcon to that server. A
clan server (with your clan's name and [tag]
in the server's name) also helps advertise
and draws recruits to your clan. However, a
clan server is NOT the clan, a clan is about
the people.
Once a week,
or until your clan gets a server, get ALL
your members together, then get them to help
LOOK for a game server for your clan. ASK
server owners that you see on servers, to
host a server for your clan (do not spam them
though). You should occasionally get all your
members together, then they each should start
jumping on different "Half-Life"
game servers looking for contact information
of the server's admin. If you find a web
page, icq #, or email address, send the
server 's admin a polite letter, asking him/her
to host a "OPEN public server" for
your clan. We call these events "Server
Search Parties". If everyone helps and
you look, ask, look, ask, look, long enough,
your clan WILL find a clan server.
Our clan went
it's first 6 months without a clan server. A
server does -NOT- make a clan, it just makes
it better.
A clan is
ALWAYS about the PEOPLE, I can not preach
that enough. You can rent game servers for about $40 (US) a
month, see our
Links
page for server rental companies
ReconGamer.com is a established server rental company
that gives you a game server and a Roger Wilco Base Station
and web space. We would suggest NOT hosting your web
page there, the reason being is, if you change game server
rental companies, your site's URL will change to (you could
use their cgi features though in conjunction with your free
site.)

| HAVE
SOME FUN AS A CLAN: |
Have FUN and be FAIR. Play, practice, recruit
more, train your members, hold try outs, have classes or
workshops, have
meetings, get in some matches, solve
problems, avoid net-mosquitoes and fights, add
to and build your clan. Continually plan and
fairly divide up the work, responsibility, and
authority. Most importantly HAVE SOME FUN AS
A CLAN.
You have
started a clan, lets see if you can do the
hard part now, and keep the clan all together.
Have scheduled
"clan Meetings" once a month, let
everyone discuss, (NOT cuss) about problems
and the future of the clan. COMMUNICATION is
very important with any group of humans, in
order to keep them happy any appreciable
amount of time.
Make time to
reward and recognize the clan's hard workers.
It's NOT a
company, NOT a country, and NOT the military,
its a clan, so run it as such.
Time zones are
a concern for global clans, as your clan
grows, you'll find you need to quickly learn
HOW to tell time globally. You will start to
hear people ask "what time is the
practice?", ""what time will
you be online?"", ""what
time is Eastern Standard Time?"" (used
on the East Coast of USA) , or maybe
""what time is GMT?"" (Greenwich
Mean Time, used in the United Kingdom) ,
"what is -5GMT mean?", and "what
time is it where you are ?". Go here to learn
more about time zones.
