So... u want to be a clan lider. First of all, a piece of advice. DONT DO IT.
After the warning being made i'll just give u a few tips on how to run a clan.
1 - Democratic clans. A clan in L2 is not democratic. A lider is a lider and he must enforce his will. If players are not happy, they are free to leave. Obviously, if the CL is a fair one, the players wont leave. Keep ur eyes opened and try to understand players needs and try to satisfy them but make perfectly clear that YOU ARE the lider and your word is final. This a very important issue. If u let players do what they want ur clan will fail.
2 - Drops. Drops are usually a tricky situation because some players might not agree with the way they are being distributed. First of all, everytime u recruit someone new make ABSOLUTELY sure he understands the drop distribution rules. If the new players doesnt agree with them, dont recruit him. From my experience, things work rather fine under the following rules:
- All drops from regular raid bosses are random distributed for the ppl that went to that RB. This means that if 2 parties were at the RB, throw a dice to decide what party gets the item and redrop it.
- All drops from major bosses must go to clan hall. AND I MEAN ALL DROPS, NOT JUST BOSS JEWELS. These drops will be distributed to players according to their needs. If one of ur players drops a piece of equip and he cant afford to get a new one, u should try to give him one from those drops.
- Boss Jewels are distributed according to the importance of the player inside the clan. MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE that no one recives the same boss jewels 2 times. The importance of a player is mesured by the time that player is in clan, time he spends logged in, time he spends helping clan mates, sieges and pvps he attends to, etc.
IF AN ARGUMENT ARISES BECAUSE OF DROPS, REMEMBER TOPIC NR 1. UR WORD IS FINAL.
3 - Politics. This is an issue of the most importance. If u cant dialog with other clan liders that forget the idea of being a CL. I will fail. No clan can survive and prosper in L2 without politics. Pick ur enemys carfull and your friends even carfully.
Good luck.
PS: Enforce Team-Speak or Ventrillo to ALL ur clan members.
