Ok guys, we've just lost another member ..sadly. And I guess there are several reason why someone would leave this clan. Some people like to blame it on the timezones. Others don't like it when they don't get promoted fast enough. Or when they're expected to actually help out the clan.

At the moment we're down to 12 members, and we've dealt with situations like these before. Actually it always balances around the 12 members mark and it's getting annoying. For years I've been watching this clan grow and shrink, from the golden age of {SITH} till certain death.

And when death is closing in on us again, I'm forced to go into some sort of hyper recruiting mode. It feels like its always up to me. I've been with {SITH} for seven years and haven't joined another clan. It's the first clan I've joined on the very first day I started playing JK2. And besides me being inactive cause of personals reasons I've always tried to make this clan work.

I'm not going to blame myself for this any longer. People join this clan for the wrong reasons. It seems like people join our clan just for the hell of it. And when things look bad, they ditch us. Don't get me wrong, I understand that people don't want to be in a clan with problems. But to me the clan is like a family, at least it used to be like that.

We can't afford to lose more members, though I'm sure some of you will still leave anyway. And if that's what you really want then I respect that. Or you could stay and help us change things around so we can relive the golden age of {SITH}. I know it's possible to make this clan grow once again and restore it's former glory.

But as I mentioned before, I can't do it alone. We need to do it together. There's no time for arguments and other pointless crap between members. We need to recruit more people, maybe make this clan a bit harder to join perhaps. Maybe it's too easy? We should have more clan matches and tournaments, and people will need to show up instead of making up excuses.

You're either part of this clan or not. Show some involvement and follow the rules. If you think something is wrong or anything at all then don't just throw the problem at the council. Think about solutions yourself and then tell us what you have in mind. Of course you're not going to solve problems on your own, but at least think about it before you tell the council to fix it.

Now lately I haven't really noticed any activity problems. I see most of the crew joining the server on a regular basis. Now play nice with our guests, and report any trouble at the clan discussion forum. Leave jerks alone till there's an admin to deal with the situation. Follow these guidelines and you might become an admin yourself.

Talking about admin. I think we need at least two more admins to get rid of our lamer/trash talking problem. So play nice and show responsibility. You will be rewarded no doubt. Keep in mind admin is meant for fun only when the server is at peace.

From now on I won't accept excuses like no one plays on the server. Too many people are inactive boohoo. I know for a fact that there are people playing on the server every day. And if you stay on the server for at least 30 minutes you will notice that 99% of the time other people start joining. And yea, sometimes you're tired of waiting. Don't you have friends on other servers? Go play with them for a bit and return later?

For some reason it feels like I'm just repeating myself now. So this is really all you need to know for now. Just think about it. Do you have more friends in other clans? Is the timezone really that unlucky for you? Sick of still not having admin (joke)? You think this clan will die soon anyway? Maybe you should just leave us on good terms and visit us every now and then.

Thanks for listening.

i know i haven't been one of the most active people in this clan, but i'm trying, i just need a nudge, sometimes, or i forget to get on, hehe

[sYkoklown]

hmmm mogi is right...well in one state of cause the timezones did bother me because even my other friends are on different times(and Americans aren't fun to play with lol, at least the whiny 13 yr old ones)and i can't always be on in the morning when ppl are on, but its not that problematic, if it helps i will reinstall ja and help us get active

sure, if you want to

well, if i had anything to say about it

[Føx]

about the recruiting, maybe we need a structured recruiting plan...for instance...the person trying to get into the clan must win this many duels or w/e.

i dont see how it can get any easier then where we have it now...just plain recruiting. maybe it does need to be a bit harder


also, given the fact that a few ppl have left, would it be a good idea to change the clanpass?

we need all the help we can get

and yea we need a structured recruiting plan..something we havent tried before

maybe we should look at skills more..and stop recruiting so called "noobs" lol

[sYkoklown]

oke doeky then im here for ya guys, so i need to re-make app? or something

[EvilAardvark]

Probably not my place, but out of the four clans I remain in contact with there are two that have fairly high recruitment, I believe the crucial part of this is consistency. JvS uses Base maps, and it's TFFA that's why we get more recruits then most, but DAJ also has a fairly high recruit rate, they have a very simple reason for this, even though they use custom maps. The reason is that they always keep their server on one custom map unless they want some quick fun and then they switch, but when they finish they always put it back on that one custom map, I believe this is one of the main reasons they get a good amount of recruits. When people see a server with a Custom map they may decide to go get it, but it's frustrating when they do an come back only to learn the map has changed again to a different custom map.

uhmm, aard, all our maps are now base maps.... tho thanks for the insight. I believe we're getting a good amount of activity, tho I'm havin trouble bein a part of it since I'm at school (tomorrow's me last day!!). Certainly the recruitment process is good with the only flaw being how quickly we let people in. I think there should be a 1-2 week probation period before we accept or reject an applicant. This may have its negative effects as well, tho, so it needs to be thought about more carefully.
