Member < Warrior(?) < Elder < Leader

What happens 9 out of 10 times when a new recruit joins your clan?

They either (a) request dragons, hog riders, or some other high level troop and/or (b) immediately ask and sometimes demand Elder status.

I do not like the fact that there is no status between Member and Elder. I simply cannot trust awarding Elder status without knowing a player well enough and the clan I am in thankfully does not do this. However, being able to show recognition of a player's contribution to the clan and are valued is important before trusting them to the extent to making them an Elder with promotion capabilities. This is essential for retaining good players and weeding out the hoppers.

We had one issue a few months ago where someone was promoted to Elder and then disagreements occurred. One thing led to another in a short period of time and this particular Elder decided to promote all Members to Elders before providing all of us with a comical diatribe of our meaningless existence. Was it a big deal? No, not really. As soon as the Leader was able to log in he remedied the situation by demoting everyone aside from a trusted "inner circle" of players.
I think another status is necessary to help with this issue. I don't believe this would snowball into a desire for more and more statuses, but one more seems to be sensible to me.

Member - No privileges
Warrior - Can recruit
Elder - Can recruit and promote
Leader - God status of the clan

TL;DR - I think one more ranking level between Member and Elder would be helpful.

Thoughts?

Interesting
Member - No privileges
Warrior - Can recruit,​ cant kick
Elder - Can recruit and promote and kick
Leader - God status of the clan

there should also be a co leader rank

I wish I could count the amount if threads on this idea...But my brain might explode. Good idea though.

member-no privileges

scout-can recruit

warrior-can recruit and promote peeps to to scout only

elder-can recruit, promote to elder and lower, and kick out scouts and members

co-leader-can recruit, promote to elder and lower, can demote elders to warriors, kick out all lower levels than co, and automatically becomes leader when leader leaves, (there can only be 2 co-leaders in the clan)(if leader leaves and there r two co leaders then the leader becomes the one with more trophies)

leader-can recruit, promote to all levels, can demote to all levels, can kick all levels

there should also be an option for co-leaders to take a poll to overthrow the leader and the outcome comes from number of votes for either side(if a tie then leader stays)

Welcome to the forums! I must say I am really impressed with the quality of the post for the FIRST post of a forum newcomer.

Thanks. I tend not to say/suggest things unless I have given them some thought. Additionally, I only convey those ideas in a manner that reflects that degree of thought.

aka...I don't like to say stupid s*** unless I want to say stupid s***

:D

I am sure it has been proposed before and is not a novel idea. I just think it is one simple alteration to the game that should be given some attention.

Yup! I agree and thank you. I thought of this (I swear!) right after I posted it but didn't have the time to come back on.

NO! Have you ever been leader? If you were in my clan I'd kick you for saying this, no matter if you're co-leader or what.

I like the idea of the co-leader. I am sure it will cause some drama with the less mature clans, but a good idea nonetheless. It would help to address sudden real-life issues that come up and prevent leaders from playing or having to quit altogether.

I suppose I thought of the one additional rank idea as somewhat of a first step idea, but maybe it would make more sense to add the co-leader position and warrior rank together.

Thanks!

Co leaders take a poll to overthrow the leader?? I think you have never been a leader before.

Thumbs up on this one. I have the same problems.

LOL. Yeh, I missed that part. I should learn to read.

I agree with you. If you want to run the clan and challenge leadership, then start your own. That is what makes the drama of the game somewhat dynamic. Personalities and styles conflict with each other and then clans split up. Considering there is no way to effectively target other clans (which sucks, haha), then the only adverse impacts are that you lose a (bad) co-leader and whoever s/he manages to take along. Whatever. No biggie from my perspective.

Nonetheless there should still be more ranks, elder member and leader doesn't cut it. I think we can all agree on that.

Love it check out my new idea!

I think the real question is why you didn't find a better clan, without a "sucky unfair leader". It took me ages to find the right clan, and if I was remotely dissatisfied with an aspect of the clan, I paid my respects, thanked them for their time, and left. Don't stay in a sub-standard clan.
