Has there been a decision on what levels we are looking for from new members? I see we have a new add and a request to join...are we only looking for higher levels?

Good question Heather. My 10 year old has been bugging me to join our clan. He wants to join a clan and I'm worried with the language and attitude used by a lot of them. I was hoping I could get him in. He's probably about as high as mblob is. What do you guys say?

Guys, and I suppose I'm asking bolt and wolf mostly, why did we promote so many people? And are we letting everyone promote anyone they want now? Zippy is a co-leader and he promoted king tortuga to clan leader. Is there some criteria or control here or is it just open season?

I believe the promoting has gotten way out of control here. I have to take responsibilty for allowing that to happen. Seemed like everyone was havin so much fun with it, it was hard to step in and stop it. I think we need to go back to the start or i can step down if thats what is wished

I feel like I have turned the clan on its head. I must apologize to all of you. While I think that bolt did the right thing for the health of the clan I feel like I need to get my own head straight before I can be a contributing member of this clan again. I will stay through this war then I plan on wandering for a while.

It was fun promoting people who were really trying to contribute...it made people feel like they too can have a voice. I think we just need to be reminded that you can have a voice without being titled "co-leader".
I enjoy being part of this clan, even when things get crazy! There are a lot of new members and it will be nice to show them we like to have fun! We donate, participate, and war! We make friendships! And obviously, I like exclamation points...!!
Go IWM!

When the dust settles and we win this war we need to come to some sort of agreement on how many co-leaders are wanted. Personally i think heather,jmicro,scott among others are deserving of the title. Lots of players are deserving for promotions we have been together a long time. However we have learned that you cant lose structure in the process. Hope everyone comments

Just leave as is I think bolt. Maybe heather as another col but leave it at that. There is no need for so many. It's only a game. Just have fun and don't be getting caught up with who is what.. We are all equals in the clan as far as I'm concerned.

Like I said in the chat, just want to add my $0.02, for perpetuity sake...
1.) Agree that the promotions got out of hand. Anyone we promote needs to understand "with great power comes great responsibility" and that they should seek consensus from the other co-leaders before promoting or kicking anyone.
2.) Disagree that the demotions were selectively retroactive. Ian was promoted long before this recent round and was demoted. Then why not Banshee & Vindalf? (nothing personal guys, just trying to make a point).
3.) My case for co-leader is that I was in the original clan called Irish with Vindalf before we moved the last Irish clan to IWM. I was very happy when I was promoted to co-leader and know I meet criteria #1 above (although think it may have been done while wolf was operating with his faculties at less than optimal ;-)
c'est la vie, que sera, etc, etc....

I agree that we only need to revert the last round of changes, I was happy with Ian, heather, jmicro, Scott, mtp co-leaders. They can all be co-leaders without going mad. But I think only bolt should be doing promotions and any done without his say so shouldn't be allowed.

I want everyone to understand that i dont feel anyone deserved to be demoted. It see ed when i popped on yesterday this clan was spinning out of control and i dont wanna lose anyone. We have worked to hard and we work so well together that i didnt want to see it lost. Micro you scott and heather all are deserving and capable co's. What i did is to go back to around the same time of the move. There are going to be promotions again i just felt like we needed to restructure to the majority's liking. Im listening to everyones opinion for a bit and we can go from there. In the future i feel like the co's and myself can come to agreements on promotions and demotions. Rules have gotten ignored and thats not good for anyone. Lets get back to the well oiled machine we were and move forward from this as it is a learning experience. Lets try to remember that even though we all take this seriously it is a game. Plz push this forum to the rest of clan so that the majority voice will prevail. Again i am sorry if there were any hurt feelings that was never the intention.

Im thinking promotions and demotions will be done at the end of each league. Donation ratios will be enforced to be fair
