NOTE:
If you can build and hold your clan
together for at least 2++ months, -THEN-
worry about this advanced stuff.;-) |
NOW,,,,,,
add needed extra "TOOLS" to your
web page:
If your clan
has lasted for the first 3 months or so, now start
to think about spending the time to add the
more "advanced" web tools to your
clan's web page.
If you do not
have one already, you might want to add a
"Roster" page with your clan
Members' names and add a link to it from your
clan's home page. You may or may not want to
add your clan members' ICQ numbers and email
addresses on your Roster page, beware what
info you show on your web page to "net-mosquitoes".
You can see an example [yW]
Roster page here.
You might want
to get a free "web calendar" for
your clan's web page. A web calendar is a
great way to organize and schedule a BIG
clan's meetings and practices. Calendar.net is the best free web
calendar hoster. Here is an example "clan
Event Calendar" (please don't copy it ).You
will probably want a Council Member to
maintain and keep it up to date. You can also
just use your clan's "FORUM" (Message
Board) instead of getting, setting up, and
daily maintaining an extra calendar account.
You might want
to add a free hit counter. A "hit
counter" is added to your web page to
show you how many visitors see your clan's
web pages. FastCounter and Bravenet.com are good web page
counter services, but you need to understand
how to add "html" to install either
of them. We have other free counters listed
on our Links page.
You might want
to get a free IRC text chat channel for your
clan's web page. It's handy for setting up
matches with other clans. You could also just
use ICQ's group "CHAT"
feature for this too.
If your clan
has lasted 3+ months and is still going
"strong", you might want to get a
"www.YOUR-Clan's-name.com". You can
get a dot.com and your basic web page hosted
for about 120$ (US) per year. Compare
prices of pay web hosters and their different
offered features. Pay close attentions to
features and added setup fees. You can pay NameSecure.com 35$ (US) and have your
dot.com point to your web site with a "URL
Grabber", and have your web site hosted
at a free web site hoster (the free web site
host will still stick it's banner on top of
your page. To be really cheap, you could go
to NameZero.com and get a free dot.com
for your clan (which adds another extra
banner). See our Links page for links to more
web hosters and domain name registries.
Organize
more and fancier events and classes:
Your clan
might want to try experimenting with other
mods and games to diversify your club and to
keep it from getting "stale".
You might want
to ask volunteers to organize fun and neat
"events" for your clan (Sniper WAR
Events, or New Map Night Events, etc).
Having a clan server really helps with this.
ALLY
and Merging with another clan:
You might want
to "ALLY" with other friendly clans
to have readily available friendly opponents
to practice against (scrimmages).
If you find a
small clan that is about to die, you might
merge with them and absorb their members to
give their members some place to go. DO
NOT recruit another clan's members, it is very LOW CLASS.
Your clan's COUNCIL Members should have a
meeting with the other clan's leaders to talk
to them about a merger or alliance. Do NOT steal another
clan's members.
Organize
matches with other friendly clans:
There are a
bunch of "leagues" that you can
enter you clan into for organized scheduled
"Matches" against other clans. If
you sign up for a match, please show up for
it. If you don't have a lot of people in your
clan you might want to hold off on league
matches. You will also need to get regular
practices going to hone your clan's skills,
You will probably need a "IRC"
channel to coordinate matches with other
clans. You will also be needing a clan server
really badly for the matches and practices.
For a complete list of "Leagues" see
our Links page.
You can also
set up informal "FuN matches" with
other clans by simply posting messages on the
AtomicWARRIOR.com's
CLAN Forum asking if any other clans want
to have matches that night against your clan.
The AtomicWARRIOR SERVERS should be online soon.
Create
a "Clan LOGO" for your clan:
All self
respecting clans need a good Clan spray paint
CoLoR LOGO to spray in the games. "Spray
paints" can be used in "Half-life"
games to get the word out about your clan to
new recruits (if you put your clan's URL on it). If you don't have a "Logo
Expert" in your clan, you should stop by
"The
CoLoR LOGO BIBLE" and learn how to make a
custom clan logo spray paint decal yourself.
If you make a logo, SUBMIT it for posting at the LOGO WareHouse to show the world the
PRIDE that your clan members have!
LOGOs help build espre de corps !!
Here is an
example of the [yW]clan logo#1:

There
are a million other things a clan leader
needs to know:
We can't teach
you everything a clan leader needs to know,
but just generally try to be fair and honest
and recruit and reward your hard workers, and
hopefully your clan will survive to go on to
be one of the GREAT Clans !
If you learn
something, that you think should be added to
this tutorial, please Contact us about what you think
should be added to the "The Clan
Leader's Bible".

more page to read, to finish this tutorial.)
